Chapter 199: Bumping Into

Boom!

Yun Li was hurrying after someone, and while running she didn't notice someone turning around, so she ended up colliding with their shoulder.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to, are you okay~"

The final "ba" at the end of Yun Li's sentence was drawn out, carrying a heavy note of doubt.

Because the beast person in front of her was exceedingly tall and muscular, and more importantly, the oppressive aura emanating from him was something A Qing and the others lacked.

But how could that be?

If he's stronger than A Qing and the others, then isn't this male beast person a Purple Rank Beast Person?

"Are you okay?"

Seeing Yun Li constantly holding her shoulder and lowering her head, the bearded male couldn't help but ask, "I wasn't paying attention earlier; aren't you going to chase your Beast Husband?"

Yun Li shook her head, "I'm fine; as long as you're fine too."

Although she suspected this male beast person might be a Purple Rank Beast Person, they were still unfamiliar, and speaking out of turn might only provoke resentment.

"Your Beast Husband shouldn't have gone far; he went that way."

Seemingly unaware of the female's lingering glance, the bearded male, when she looked around to decide where to chase, thoughtfully pointed her in a direction.

"Thanks! But let me warn you: a Tribe generally doesn't let outsiders' beast persons stay within the Tribe, so you'd better prepare in advance."

Having said that, Yun Li hurriedly followed the direction the bearded male had just indicated and chased after.

The bearded male was left standing there, stroking his beard, seemingly troubled by something.

"You tell me, Luosai, should I shave my beard now?"

Hearing that, the beast person behind him jerked his head up, his face shocked, and at that moment he forgot the bearded male's instructions to him:

"Lord City, what did you just say?"

The bearded male gave him a glance, his brows furrowing, but this time Luosai reacted quickly, scanning the surroundings, and when he saw no one watching them, he apologetically said to the bearded male:

"Sorry, chieftain, I called you the wrong title again."

"Hmm."

The bearded male's tone was flat; seeing this, Luosai lowered his head even further.

"You also heard what that female said earlier; go ask around and see if it's the same as what she said: this Tribe doesn't allow outsiders' beast persons to stay overnight in the Tribe."

Luosai responded, "Alright, chieftain."

But he didn't walk away immediately; instead he glanced at the chieftain's beard and, cautiously, said:

"Chieftain, didn't you keep your beard because you hated being bothered by females before? Why suddenly want to shave it now?"

Just as he finished speaking, he saw the chieftain stroking his own beard, murmuring, "Probably because managing this beard after becoming chief takes a lot of time, but shaving it occasionally isn't a problem. Look at that female; she probably isn't a beast person who only looks at faces."

Luosai instantly let his mind wander, thinking, "The chieftain… could he be taken by that female?"

"Let's go."

However, the bearded male didn't realize how much his words had misled Luosai; his gaze fell on the stalls, and ever since entering this Market he had noticed that the arrangement of stalls here differed from any Market he had seen before.

It seemed intentional: the first thing he saw upon entering were beast persons wearing feathered crowns and stalls selling various beautiful feathers and feather ornaments, which instantly dazzled the eyes and left a strong impression of the Silver Eagle Tribe.

After all, the Silver Eagle Tribe is mostly eagle‑beast people, so seeing feather‑related items right away easily leads one to label the Tribe as "truly worthy of being an eagle‑beast people's settlement."

Then, as one went deeper, feather items decreased while items related to other eagle‑beast people gradually increased, further deepening the impression of the Silver Eagle Tribe among the beast persons who arrived.

Thus, regardless of the quality of the goods, any beast person who has ever entered will firmly remember that the Silver Eagle Tribe has such a Market.

"It seems this Tribe has a very clever beast person," the bearded male suddenly remarked.

I really want to meet them!

He thought that, yet his feet kept moving forward, straight into the deeper parts of the Market.

Meanwhile, Luosai, who had been beside him, had already taken a liking to a talkative stall owner and was conversing with them.

On the other side, Leng Xiao stood beside his friend, chatting intermittently with the nearby beast persons, but his gaze kept drifting elsewhere.

"Tell me, what's wrong with you? Did you argue with your brother, or have a conflict with other males in your family?"

"Why don't you tell us, and we'll help you figure out a way to win back your female's heart?"

While speaking, two males each stood on opposite sides, placing a hand on Leng Xiao's shoulder.

Hearing that, Leng Xiao glanced at them, "You two are still single guys, yet you want to give advice to me about a Mate‑Bonded male?"

"Hey hey! How's that for words? Watch out, we might beat you up; just because you're Mate‑Bonded makes you great." The beast person on the left said, punching Leng Xiao hard.

"Exactly, we usually see you bringing your cubs to the gate, bragging about your good life at home, and that's enough."

"And now you still poke at our hearts?"

The beast person on the right also wore an annoyed expression, but seeing Leng Xiao still looking like he had been abandoned by his own female, a strange thought instantly rose in his mind.

"I say, you didn't argue with your female, did you?"

As soon as he said that, Leng Xiao let out a hum and turned his head away.

Whoa!

At that moment, the beast persons on both sides were almost shocked to death.

"You actually argued with your female? Are you just bored because life is too easy?"

"She's as beautiful as Miduo and as clever as Yun Li Adult; why argue with her? Even if she gets a new male, you shouldn't openly oppose her on such matters."

"Aren't you giving other males a chance?"

"Quick, tell us, why exactly are you arguing? I recall Yun Li Adult rarely gets angry in front of the tribe."

"What did you do that forced Yun Li Adult to argue with you?"

Leng Xiao, irritated, cut off their wild speculation, saying, "So what if we argued? It's her fault to begin with."

Leng Xiao, irritated, cut off their wild speculation, saying, "What does it matter if they argue? It was her fault from the start."

Yun Li had just found someone when she heard Leng Xiao, in front of his friend, grumbling that she was lecherous, that it was a bad match, and that she had set her sights on the capricious Witch Doctor of the Youbuluo tribe.

"What a 'sir', really just a guy who wants to rise by beauty, bad‑tempered and sharp‑tongued; when we first met he even spoke to us in that tone."

And Leng Xiao grew more irritated as he spoke, not noticing at all that his own female had been standing aside watching for quite a while.

Then two beastmen spotted a female standing not far away; on closer look, oh— it was Leng Xiao's female!
