Chapter 204: Cried

"…So it can be done that way? Chief Moluo really knows a lot."

Yun Li said, raising a hand to cover her mouth as she laughed.

Moluo watched her laugh, his tone unconsciously carrying a trace of amusement. "I only know these things because I've been to many places."

A hint of longing appeared in Yun Li's eyes. "If I ever get the chance, I'd really love to go out and see the world in the future."

But never mind that for now. Though her own strength had improved, the Tribe had just begun to develop, and she couldn't take Axuan away from the Tribe just for her own selfish desires.

Hearing this, Moluo's gaze toward Yun Li deepened slightly. "If you want to go out in the future…"

"Yun Li!"

Before he could finish speaking, a voice interrupted, and both Yun Li and Moluo couldn't help but look over.

They saw Ke Si watching them from not far away, his expression slightly darkened. When Yun Li saw Ke Si, the smile on her face immediately vanished.

"Ke Si, why are you here?"

She had been planning to go find him after finishing the little bit of work at hand—whether to break things off or stay together, the two of them needed a resolution.

Who knew that after hearing her words yesterday, he would come looking for her this quickly today. Had he already made up his mind?

"Who is he?"

Ke Si only stared at Moluo and didn't answer Yun Li's question.

A flash of helplessness crossed Yun Li's face. "He's Moluo, a friend I just met. Did you come find me because of yesterday?"

A friend?

Ke Si and Moluo both looked at Yun Li at the same time.

Moluo gave a laugh, clearly quite pleased by the word "friend" Yun Li used. "Is he your Beast Husband? It seems you have things to discuss, so I won't disturb you."

Yun Li smiled. "Thank you. If you need any help in the Tribe, you can go find the Patrol Team."

"My Beast Husband still has some say in the Tribe. Just tell the beast people on the Patrol Team, and someone will pass on the message for you."

After hearing this, a glint of thought flashed in Moluo's eyes as he looked at Yun Li. Even the beast people on the Patrol Team could be commanded—this female's status in the Tribe was clearly higher than he had imagined.

"Alright, I'll remember that. Yun Li—I can call you that, right?"

"Of course!"

Yun Li said with a smile.

As soon as Moluo and the others left, Ke Si quickly stepped in front of Yun Li and asked:

"Which Tribe's beast person is he? When did you meet such a dangerous male?"

"Dangerous? Are you saying his strength is very formidable?"

When Yun Li said this, from the corner of her eye she happened to catch that one of the two males who had originally been following behind had already disappeared.

A Lian's Beast Husbands had all seen Ke Si by her side and naturally could recognize who he was. With one of them leaving now, A Xiao or A Xiu would likely arrive soon. She needed to settle things with Ke Si as quickly as possible, or else take him away—otherwise, if yesterday's situation happened again, Yun Li would absolutely lose control completely because she couldn't handle it.

"Mm, his strength is probably beyond just Blue Rank."

Ke Si's words immediately made Yun Li raise her head. She pondered for a moment and said, "Are you saying he's a Purple Rank Beast Person?"

Ke Si looked in the direction Moluo and the others had left. "I've never fought him, so I'm not sure whether he's a Purple Rank Beast Person."

"But you—do you know what kind of person that male is? Just walking together with him like that?"

Yun Li glanced at him lightly and said coolly, "Before, when I walked together with you, didn't others also say you were very dangerous?"

Was she afraid back then? If she had been afraid, there wouldn't have been so many troubles between them.

Hearing this, Ke Si's voice also suddenly dropped. "I figure all those words came from your Beast Husbands, didn't they?"

A look of displeasure appeared on Yun Li's face. "Don't always talk about A Qing and the others in that tone. If you can't accept that there are other males around me, then there's no need for the two of us to form a Mate Bond."

"Yun Li, have I been too good to you these past few years?"

So much so that she repeatedly said things in front of him that made him want to strangle her.

Sensing the anger Ke Si could no longer conceal, Yun Li subconsciously took a step back. But the moment her right foot retreated, Ke Si grabbed her body, forcefully held down the back of her head, and kissed her.

"Ke Si, you…"

Let go!

Yun Li, who had been kissed by force, was truly done with him. Ever since she'd known him, she had never met a beast person more domineering than him.

His kiss was the same—allowing no refusal and demanding that she comply.

So Yun Li, seizing the opportunity, bit down without hesitation. But Ke Si seemed not to care about the pain at all—he was in pain, yet he wound himself around Yun Li even tighter, with a nearly desperate obsession.

"Ke Si, let go of me right now!"

Just as Yun Li had expected, Leng Xiao arrived shortly after hearing the news that Ke Si had gone to find Yun Li.

And upon arriving, he saw a guy who hadn't even officially formed a Mate Bond with his female pressing down his female and kissing her by force—there was no way Leng Xiao's temper could endure that.

He charged forward and threw a punch.

But the gap in strength wouldn't be bridged just because of Leng Xiao's momentary outburst. Ke Si freed one hand and blocked Leng Xiao's fist, then continued kissing Yun Li "inseparably" right before his eyes, as if he weren't even there.

Seeing this, Leng Xiao was so furious he was about to explode.

As for Yun Li, she was nearly suffocating by now. Ke Si hadn't come here to talk things through at all today—he was probably just out for revenge, retaliating for what she and A Xiao had done in front of him yesterday.

"Slap! I'm telling you, you've really gone too far!"

The moment she was released, before Yun Li had even caught her breath, she slapped him across the face.

"If you didn't come find me to sit down and talk things through properly, then don't ever appear in front of me again!"

She was truly driven to the brink by Ke Si's stunt. She genuinely wanted to have a proper talk with him, but every time he came at her with this attitude of demanding accountability the moment they disagreed.

The thing was—hadn't he known her situation from the very start? Knowing full well that she already had other Beast Husbands, yet still wanting to take things further with her—wasn't learning to accept the other males around her something he ought to do?

If he truly couldn't accept it, then he should damn well get lost and stay away from her! While her feelings for him weren't yet that deep, while they hadn't officially formed a Mate Bond, he had best never appear in front of her again.

Since coming to this world, this was the first time Yun Li had experienced something so powerless—being pinned down and kissed by a male she hadn't officially bonded with, right in front of her Beast Husband. She didn't feel for a moment that it was her own great charm that had led to such a dramatic scene.

Her tears fell uncontrollably, and her hand kept wiping the corner of her mouth.

And this scene, as it fell into Ke Si's eyes, was without a doubt Yun Li's rejection and disgust toward him.

He clenched his fists until they creaked, but in the end said nothing, let out a cold snort, raised a hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and left.

"A Li."

Leng Xiao, his face full of heartache and worry, helped his female up. Since A Li had formed the Mate Bond with them, she had rarely cried like this.

He never expected that today she would cry like this because of Ke Si—that bastard!

Sure enough, his refusal to let Ke Si form the Mate Bond with A Li had been the right call. With a temperament like that, Ke Si had never once thought to consider how others felt, and what A Li hated most was being forced into something she didn't want to do without anyone asking her opinion.
