Chapter 195: Ke Si's Path to Power (Part Two)
As soon as these words came out, a look of wild joy immediately appeared on Leng Xiao's face.
"A Li, are you serious?"
Leng Xiu also looked over with burning eyes. Mu Qing and Ji Xuan did not react as strongly as the two of them, but they also looked over, their eyes carrying a measure of disbelieving scrutiny and doubt.
Seeing them like this, Yun Li instantly laughed. "Of course. I mean what I say."
If A Xiao and A Xiu both broke through to Blue Rank, then she would have five Blue Rank Beastman beast husbands. With several beast husbands like these by her side, it was enough for her to walk sideways through the Heiyan Shanmai, and even if she went outside, no beastman could casually bully her.
So what did she have to be dissatisfied about?
Under the surge of emotion, Leng Xiao lowered his head and kissed her fiercely.
Yun Li's body couldn't help but go a bit soft from his sudden attack. When she finally managed to push Leng Xiao away a little and tried to calm her rapid breathing, she felt someone press up against her from behind, not knowing who it was.
"A Li~ I'm so happy!"
Leng Xiu's voice carried a thick smile, as well as an unmistakable thread of desire.
Then Yun Li felt gentle kisses landing on her neck, trailing down along her shoulder.
Yun Li's face flushed crimson. "A Xiu!"
This was the courtyard, and there were cubs at home!
Not to mention Mu Qing and Ji Xuan's gazes also fell on her at this moment. Yun Li felt a rush of heat shoot straight from the soles of her feet to the top of her head — from sheer embarrassment.
What were Leng Xiao and Leng Xiu doing!
"Again!"
Lengao covered his eyes with both hands. Through the gaps between his fingers, he could see Amu push Afu away with a completely red face. When she turned to leave, Uncle grabbed her up in his arms and carried her into the house.
Then Uncle Ji said something to Afu and Dafu, and Afu and Dafu followed each other into the house as well.
……
On this side, Ke Si also received the news that the cubs at Yun Li's home had hatched today. But upon learning this, he seemed as though he hadn't heard the news at all, still sitting steadily in his seat.
"Witch Doctor, the eggs Yun Li Adult bore have all hatched now. Aren't you going to go take a look?"
The one speaking was precisely Teng Fei, who had been staying by Ke Si's side all along.
Standing beside him was Chang Yue, his eyelids slightly lowered, who hadn't said a single word since entering.
"Go do what? Watch their family celebrate happily?"
Ke Si's voice was cold, clearly his mood couldn't be any worse.
He'd already slept with her, yet still hadn't been able to get the female to relent and hold a Pairing Ceremony with him — how could his mood possibly be good?
"Well… Witch Doctor, those eggs did include cubs that are yours and Yun Li Adult's.
As the cubs' biological father, wouldn't it be perfectly normal for you to go take a look?"
Teng Fei didn't know exactly when Ke Si and Yun Li Adult had slept together, but he had heard Lord Chang Yue say that Ke Si Adult and Yun Li Adult had already bonded, and were only short of a formal Pairing Ceremony to publicly announce that he had now become Yun Li Adult's beast husband.
But the thing was, they had already stayed in the Silver Eagle Tribe for nearly two months, and Ke Si Adult still hadn't gotten a Pairing Ceremony with Yun Li Adult.
Tragic! Truly too tragic!
Who would have thought that Ke Si Adult, who once never had to care about anyone else's opinion no matter what he did in the Tribe, would now suffer such a great loss at Yun Li Adult's hands.
If in the end even Ke Si Adult couldn't hold a Pairing Ceremony with Yun Li Adult, then Ke Si Adult…
Teng Fei immediately didn't dare to think further. He felt that if this really happened, the first ones to suffer would be him and Lord Chang Yue.
Chang Yue was snapped out of his thoughts by the small motion of someone tugging at his clothes. Receiving Teng Fei's distress signal, he furrowed his brow slightly and also stepped forward to say:
"Witch Doctor, have you seen Yun Li Adult these past few days?"
Ke Si's expression was ice-cold. "No. She hasn't come to find me."
As for him going to find her, she would certainly just tell him again to go build good relations with her family's beast husbands. What a joke. He liked her, but that didn't mean he was willing to accept those males around her.
That he could restrain himself from making a lethal move on them was already a display of his magnanimity.
Chang Yue, Teng Fei: …The female doesn't come to find you, so can't you swallow your pride and take the initiative to go find her?
When he was pursuing her, weren't his methods quite clever? How was it that at this crucial moment, he suddenly started putting on airs?
"Witch Doctor, hasn't it occurred to you to go find her?"
At the very least, ask when the two of them would hold their Pairing Ceremony, or if that doesn't work, go perform a bit at Yun Li Adult's home.
This was basic procedure for any single male entering a female's household. Chang Yue didn't believe Ke Si didn't know this. Did he think that after having cubs with Yun Li, he could leverage the children for status?
If that was what he thought, Chang Yue felt Ke Si was probably mistaken. Yun Li was clearly not that kind of female.
Given her temperament, she might just draw up a contract and have Ke Si sign a document relinquishing custody, then ruthlessly cast him aside.
Ke Si furrowed his brow tightly, staring hard at Chang Yue, his tone carrying a measure of irritation. "So what if I've thought about it? But would it do any good if I went? Those two brothers won't even let me through the door now.
I could fight my way in, but I'm afraid she'd then complain that I hurt her beast husbands."
Ke Si had done this once when he was pursuing her, and after that incident happened, Yun Li's already unenthusiastic attitude toward him grew even colder.
Ke Si later spent considerable effort before he managed to draw Yun Li's attention back to himself.
Recalling everything he had done over these three years, Ke Si's face darkened terribly.
He used to scoff at Chang Yue for willingly debasing himself over a female. Who would have thought that when it came to himself, the things he had done were even more debased.
Even the matter of using drugs on a female…
He couldn't think any further. Ke Si rubbed his aching temples and suddenly asked, "Given this situation, do you two have any good ideas? Teng Fei!"
Teng Fei, abruptly called upon, quickly responded, "I'm here, Witch Doctor. I think the most important thing for you right now is to figure out whether Yun Li Adult has any intention of holding a Pairing Ceremony with you?
If Yun Li Adult doesn't have this intention, then…"
Before he could finish speaking, he received a chilling glare from Ke Si, as if looking at a dead man.
Teng Fei immediately shuddered and didn't dare continue.
"Chang Yue, do you think the same?"
Seeing Ke Si turn to ask him again, a flash of helplessness crossed Chang Yue's mind. Wasn't this matter very simple? If he didn't ask Yun Li, who else could he ask?
"Perhaps you could speak with the Silver Eagle Young Master, Lord Witch Doctor. For the sake of the alliance between our two tribes, he shouldn't refuse to let you and Lord Yun Li Adult hold a Pairing Ceremony."
Ji Xuan?
Hearing Chang Yue's suggestion, Ke Si only sneered inwardly. In the past, he too would have thought Ji Xuan was a beastman who, like his father, prioritized the tribe above all.
But now, in his eyes, Ji Xuan was merely better at pretending than his A-Fu.
Rather than negotiate with Ji Xuan, Ke Si was more willing to go talk with her so-called First Beast Husband.
After all, whether those two brothers or Ji Xuan, none could compare to this taciturn male in the weight he carried in her heart.
