Chapter 181: Opportunity

~7 min read 1,332 words

She wants to kill him!

Ah! Ah! Ah! You bastard!

They actually forced her to take a weapon and strike her own Beast Husband! She wants to kill him!

Yun Li's reaction seemed to be within Ke Si's expectation; after letting go, he immediately stepped back two paces, but the Snow Wolf that Yun Li becomes cannot be slow at all, and the stone courtyard is not large, so even if he retreats, there's nowhere to go.

"A Li!"

Seeing his own female in a rage ready to strike Ke Si, Leng Xiu's expression changed; first he hurriedly pressed the youngling trying to emerge from under the table back down, then he transformed into a beast form and rushed toward his own female.

The Snow Wolf lunged at Ke Si's neck, but Ke Si reacted quickly, raising a hand to block her.

However, he didn't fling her away, so the Snow Wolf bit Ke Si's arm and hung there in the air.

Yun Li's fury!

She raised her forelimb, trying to use the momentum to break free immediately.

At this moment, a Black Wolf chased from behind, lunged at Ke Si's front, forcing Ke Si to fling the wolf back.

"A Xiu!"

After being thrown aside, Yun Li was almost fully conscious again.

She is no match for Ke Si; acting impulsively against him just then was unwise.

But Leng Xiu is not usually calm; why, after rescuing her, did he keep fighting Ke Si?

More strangely, Ke Si still didn't strike back.

Or perhaps, even if he countered, his response was neither light nor heavy.

Crazy?

Yun Li was puzzled, but when she saw the snake bone whip in Ke Si's hand, she seemed to understand something, yet she still harbored doubt for some unknown reason.

"Awo~"

Until a low "Awo" sounded beside her ear, instantly catching Yun Li's attention.

Oh no!

Forgot about Lao Si; not sure if he was scared, all because Ke Si went crazy just now!

Yun Li hurried to Lao Si's side, grabbed the youngling and gave it a good rub.

"Are you okay, Lao Si? Were you scared? It's all mother and uncle's fault for forgetting you."

Lao Si was indeed frightened, but mother's rubbing made him instantly impatient; he shouted angrily at his mother.

Yun Li was stunned for a moment, then immediately laughed.

Being able to be angry at her means nothing serious remains.

She bent down to kiss Lao Si, but saw her own youngling turn its head away in disgust.

Yun Li was both amused and exasperated; the youngling grows less affectionate as it ages, now even spitting at her, and she doesn't know who used to cling to her and pretend to be injured for sympathy.

It's just that one or two is tolerable.

The only female youngling at home, Lao San, is the same…

Yun Li already had an answer in mind; besides the few Beast Husbands at home, who else could it be?

…

"A Xiu"

Seeing Leng Xiu finally cease fighting Ke Si, Yun Li stepped forward, and the youngling's minor issue could be addressed with a few words; there's no need to fuss, after all they are adult Beastmen, even if they are jealous of the younglings' closeness to her, they wouldn't truly harm the younglings.

Moreover, when the younglings grow a bit more, they won't rely on her daily even without their teaching.

"He took the stuff, let's go home."

If it weren't for being unable to defeat Ke Si, Leng Xiu wouldn't have wanted to keep the snake bone whip in his hand.

"Alright!"

Yun Li immediately nodded at the words, without asking why.

Because of what just happened, she didn't want to stay here any longer.

"Hold on, you haven't said what help you need?"

Ke Si sat back on the stone stool, and as Yun Li and the others were about to step out, he couldn't help but frown and ask.

He took the stuff, but what help they need hasn't been clarified.

"Help a Miduo female detoxify the poisons on her Beast Husbands, and don't let her First Beast Husband notice."

Yun Li didn't even respond.

They originally shouldn't have forgotten their purpose for coming, but Ke Si's sudden bizarre maneuver caught them off guard, and they even forgot they hadn't told Ke Si what the matter was.

Hearing Yun Li's request, Ke Si lowered his head, curled the snake bone whip in his hand, and said, "Just to help with detoxification?"

Even such a small matter can trouble him.

However... this weapon is quite interesting.

Staring at the snake bone whip for a while, Ke Si suppressed the thoughts in his heart, put away the item, and walked into the house.

…

Here, Yun Li and Leng Xiu returned home with the younglings, silent all the way.

"What's wrong?"

Mu Qing was at home researching how to improve some shortcomings of the new weapon; hearing the voice, he lifted his head and saw the two newcomers' faces were far from good.

"Not going well?"

Yun Li nodded, "He's sick!"

Mu Qing was silenced for a moment by his own female, and thought, "Did he say something unpleasant? Should I find a chance to beat him…"

At that moment, his words suddenly halted, because he recalled that Yun Li had come this time with a request.

Just after asking someone for help, I beat them up over a few words of argument; doing it like this doesn't seem right.

But A Li really was wronged over there, and Mu Qing felt that as her First Beast Husband, doing nothing would also be wrong.

Yun Li sat down, sighed, "Let's just drop it this time; I just bothered someone."

Hearing that, Mu Qing was about to nod, but saw Leng Xiu looking over; the gazes of the two males met, and something flashed quickly in Mu Qing's mind.

But Leng Xiu said nothing; Mu Qing glanced at Yun Li, already having a plan in mind.

Consequently, after waiting for Yun Li to fall asleep that night, the four male beastmen gathered in the courtyard as if they had received some news.

That night, the four males talked for a long time before returning to sleep.

Yun Li noticed nothing; she is now waiting for good news from Miduo, then will find a chance to completely kill Ji Chen outside, so he can never again threaten their family.

Three days later, Ke Si sent Ba De over to deliver a message: the poison in Miduo's family has been fully cured, and additionally gave Yun Li good news—that Miduo's First Beast Husband will soon go out with the Hunting Squad.

"Oh, right."

Before leaving, Ba De seemed to remember something he'd forgotten, turned back to Yun Li and said, "Witch Doctor wants me to tell Yun Li Adult a word: he is very satisfied with the snake‑bone whip you gave him."

Yun Li heard it with a puzzled expression; if he's satisfied, he's satisfied—does it really need Ba De to come tell her?

Watching Ba De's departing back, Yun Li immediately fell into contemplation.

"A Li, what are you thinking? It's just a snake‑bone whip. And you let someone tell you he's satisfied—did we not already know whether he's satisfied? It's redundant."

Leng Xiao said, straightening Yun Li's head, and shifted the topic: "You've always wanted to kill Ji Chen so that the family's cubs can roam the Tribe freely. Now there's a perfect chance; once Mu Qing and the others return, we'll immediately discuss how to handle it. We must not give him any chance to stay alive."

If they don't kill him and give him a chance, he will hurt A Li and the family's cubs.

Yun Li met Leng Xiao's gaze and said, "I was just thinking about the chance to cooperate with Ke Si's group, but you're right; the most important thing now is to quickly deal with Ji Chen."
