Chapter 179: The Opportunity Brought by a New Weapon

"You..."

The day after the Sacrificial Activity ended, Yun Li was about to go out to continue studying medicine at Qu Ji's, when, just after finishing breakfast, she saw several Beastmen suddenly appear in the courtyard.

Yun Li's gaze lingered for several seconds on the only female Beastman among the newcomers before she walked over and asked, "What are you doing at my house?"

Miduo saw her approach, stood up as well, and with a very calm expression said, "What, not welcome?"

But even though she wasn't welcome, she still came.

"Miduo."

Ji Xuan frowned and also rose from opposite the female, his tone carrying a hint of warning.

"Hmph."

Miduo, warned by him, sat down with an unexpected expression, but she was no longer as frantic as before.

A flash of surprise passed through Yun Li's eyes; perhaps she thought of something, and her gaze toward Miduo softened.

"Is there something?"

She asked, "I still have to go out later."

"You're really straightforward."

Miduo withdrew her smile as she spoke, sat down again, and said, "But besides coming to see Ji Xuan's jokes this time, I actually have an important matter..."

"Then you don't need to say it; I don't want to hear."

Yun Li, in a calm tone, interrupted her, saying.

Miduo's complexion changed slightly, "What do you mean?"

Her voice suddenly rose a few pitches.

Yun Li gave her a slight glance, "Talking about someone else's jokes at another's house, what good attitude do you think I could have?"

It's already good that I didn't even drive her out.

Miduo's face instantly darkened, looking very angry; she watched as the person stood up, about to leave.

But for some reason, she forced herself to calm down, sat back down, and said, "Sorry, but I no longer have any other thoughts about him now; I hope you understand that."

Yun Li slightly raised an eyebrow, her gaze landing on the female's tense face; after a while, she saw Miduo meet her stare without avoidance.

She was momentarily startled, then quickly returned the gaze, nodded, "Hmm, I understand. Speak, then I have to go out."

Miduo glanced at Ji Xuan, "Does he have to be here? He probably won't be able to hear what I say."

Yun Li's eyebrows furrowed slightly; she was about to say that the matter was something her Beast Husband couldn't hear, but upon seeing Miduo's serious expression, she suddenly thought of a person's name.

"Ji Chen!"

"Miduo came because of him?"

Yun Li still remembered that when Ji Chen and his group first returned, Mu Qing and Leng Xiao went to Miduo's house looking for a chance to say they had seen something disgusting.

If because of those things Miduo harbored hatred toward Ji Chen and wanted to join forces with her, that wouldn't be impossible.

Yun Li quickly made a decision, "Axuan!"

Ji Xuan slightly furrowed his brow, but still obeyed the female's request and entered the house.

Miduo knew that with a Blue Rank Beastman's hearing, as long as they weren't far away, even whispering wouldn't hide their voices from him.

So she sent her Beast Husband in to talk to Ji Xuan; someone speaking to him would distract him, making him unable to hear what they said.

Yun Li didn't stop Miduo, because she also feared Ji Xuan might suddenly appear and hear their plans to kill Ji Chen.

After all, Ji Xuan is the Tribe Young Master; for such a crime against the tribe, she hoped he would avoid it, at least so he could be more at ease in front of other tribe members.

Miduo, after seeing the surroundings were safe, looked at Yun Li seriously and said, "I know you want to kill Ji Chen; we can cooperate with you."

After Ming, the poison on her other Beast Husbands finally seemed hopeful, but Ji Chen, that scheming male, she didn't want to wait a single day; she must kill him, absolutely must kill him!

Yun Li also wanted to kill Ji Chen; with Miduo's help, the success rate may not be a hundred percent, but she certainly had a ninety-percent confidence.

However, thinking of the things Miduo gritted her teeth and revealed to her, Yun Li felt they might have an even better chance.

It must be a single fatal strike, and absolutely ensure they won't betray before or after.

So that night after returning home, Yun Li took her charcoal pencil and kept drawing on the smooth stone slab.

For several consecutive days, Yun Li squatted before the slab as if possessed, until the several weapons on the drawing board finally took shape, and Mu Qing and the others finally had something they could help with.

"Snap."

Accompanied by the long whip made of wood vine and snake skin dropping, a deep groove suddenly appeared on the ground.

Seeing this, Yun Li's face instantly showed a hint of delight, "A Qing! This really works!"

Of course this soft whip is only suitable for her; since she's weak, even if she uses a high-damage weapon, she must consider whether it might hurt herself.

Mu Qing and the others have other weapons more suitable for them; Ji Xuan, looking steady and unlikely to fight, was nevertheless very interested in the war hammer.

Leng Xiu, however, was enamored with hidden weapons that can poison people, and also forged a halberd for himself.

As for Leng Xiao, after he chose the long spear, he hasn't even tended to the cubs these two days, wandering outside all day, occasionally asking someone to bring back his hunted prey.

Lastly Mu Qing, he seems to only like short daggers.

When Yun Li asked him if there was any other weapon he liked, Mu Qing just shook his head, saying his Beast body itself is a weapon.

Moreover, although he likes short daggers, when there are other weapons at home, he won't refuse to learn to use them.

"As long as you like it."

To craft the weapons Yun Li envisions, Mu Qing has now become a craftsman.

Because he doesn't go hunting, the cubs at home have two fathers taking turns watching them, and unlike Ji Xuan who is the Tribe Young Master, he has endless official duties all day.

Thus, after the beast bones are processed, the majority of weapon-making falls to Mu Qing.

At home, he's the only one with the patience to listen to Yun Li's imprecise, constantly changing descriptions over and over, and actually produce those weapons.

"I like it; you made it with your own hands, how could I possibly not like it."

Yun Li happily clambered onto Mu Qing's neck and planted a heavy kiss on his face, "A Qing you really are amazing."

If I had known A Qing was so capable, I would have made all these weapons earlier.

But at the time I considered the lack of iron and copper, and she feared that weapons made from beast bones and stone might not have the same lethality as bows and arrows.

Who would have thought Mu Qing actually had a way.

"Awoo~"

When Yun Li and Mu Qing were hugging, the two cubs still at home ran out from the shady house, saw the whip hanging from Mother's hand, and curiously bit it.

The soft whip, unlike the hard whip she intended to make for Ke Si, isn't as dangerous to the cubs, so when she saw the two cubs biting the whip, Yun Li didn't stop them; instead she laughed and used the whip to tease them.

Mu Qing watched for a while, then remembered something, and asked Yun Li, "A Li, regarding these weapons, Ji Xuan thinks the Tribe might also need them. Have you considered showing them to the chieftain and the Priest?"

Yun Li, reminded by him, also thought seriously, "You all are using these new weapons, so the matter of these weapons certainly can't be hidden from the Tribe."

"But if we really have to teach the Tribe how to make these weapons, I have two conditions; then I'll go with Ji Xuan again to meet the chieftain and discuss with them."
