Chapter 206: The Priest of Youbuluo's Purpose

~7 min read 1,384 words

The two quickly came to blows in the courtyard.

"Being dumped by the female you like — hurts, doesn't it?"

The Priest of Youbuluo defended while launching a verbal attack, "Still remember how you used to mock us? How is it that now it's your turn, yet you can't even secure a Beast Husband's position?"

Courting death!

A glint of killing intent rose in Ke Si's eyes. He struck again, attacking the Priest's vital weakness without the slightest mercy.

Seeing that his words had thoroughly enraged him, a trace of gravity flashed across the Priest's face.

Regardless of anything, Ke Si's formidable strength was beyond doubt. Even he found it extremely difficult to handle.

"Bang!"

Along with a thunderous groan from the courtyard wall buckling under the strain, the wall collapsed — and in that instant, the Priest, who had been fiercely choked by Ke Si with his limbs pinned and unable to resist, ultimately escaped the male's grasp by reverting to his beast form.

As fellow Snake Beastmen, Ke Si naturally knew how lethal the Priest's fangs were after reverting to beast form. But just as he too was about to revert to beast form to continue fighting the Priest, Teng Fei's anxious voice came from outside the courtyard.

"D-don't fight anymore, Lord Witch Doctor, Lord Priest — the Silver Eagle Tribe Patrol Team is here."

If they kept fighting, someone would really die.

And if anything happened to either of them, neither he nor Chang Yue would be able to explain it when they got back.

Hearing this, Ke Si subconsciously looked toward the courtyard entrance. He didn't see any Patrol Team beastmen, but he did see Teng Fei forcibly dragging Chang Yue into the courtyard with an apologetic grin on his face.

"Lord Witch Doctor."

He greeted Ke Si, and after receiving an icy glare from him, immediately turned to look at the giant snake still coiled upright, clearly not yet out of its attack stance, and said, "Lord Priest, if the Patrol Team beastmen see you like this, they really will come over and ask what's going on."

Teng Fei was genuinely afraid they would start fighting again.

Seeing his cowardly demeanor, Ke Si couldn't help but scoff softly. He was about to tell him to get lost — what business was it of his whether they fought or not.

But Chang Yue suddenly spoke up, "A beastman came by here just now. He asked me to pass a message to Lord Witch Doctor: matters between males, if Lord Witch Doctor is still a male, he should go settle it himself and not drag females into it."

Hearing this, Ke Si's gaze turned sharp in an instant. "A beastman from Small Flat Mountain?"

Chang Yue gave a slight nod. "Lord Witch Doctor should know who it is."

Since they brought such a message, it meant those two were already willing to take a step back.

Hearing this, the Priest reverted to human form, looked at Ke Si, and raised an eyebrow. "So, are you going?"

Ke Si gave him a cold look and turned to go to another intact room.

It seemed he had no intention of engaging.

Seeing him like this, the Priest turned his head and glanced at Teng Fei — but this was a beastman who couldn't read his meaningful looks.

He had no choice but to open his mouth and say, "Go get someone to fix up the courtyard. Also, you sleep outside tonight."

"What?"

Teng Fei almost thought he had misheard. He watched blankly as the Priest also went inside.

Seeing Chang Yue follow, he reflexively followed too, but before he could even lift his foot, the wooden door slammed shut in front of him with a "bang."

Inside, Chang Yue stood guard at the door, facing the door and not watching the confrontation between the Priest and Ke Si.

In any case, the two of them had already finished fighting, so they should both have calmed down by now.

"What, you're really not planning to be with that female anymore? Planning to tidy up and come back to the Tribe with me in a few days?"

The Priest sat in the seat below Ke Si and raised a hand to pour himself a cup of water.

It had to be said — just seeing several complete sets of ceramic tea ware arranged here, one could tell the Silver Eagle Tribe's treatment of Ke Si was truly exceptional. But no matter how you looked at it, this wasn't a decision made by the Silver Eagle Clan Chief and the Priest.

Even if that female harbored intentions of using Ke Si, she hadn't let him suffer any real losses in many matters; on the contrary, she was very generous with what she gave him.

Compared to his time with You Ruo, Ke Si's treatment in front of his own female was simply incomparably better.

"Are you very idle?"

The implication was: if you have nothing to do, get lost!

Ke Si was in a foul mood and really didn't want to say anything more to the Priest.

"Yes, I'm very idle. Otherwise, why would I have been sent to the Silver Eagle Tribe by your sister?"

When the Priest spoke of this, his expression also darkened somewhat.

Seeing him like this, Ke Si knew he had been coaxed into coming to the Silver Eagle Tribe with a honey trap to run errands for You Ruo. He couldn't help but scoff. "Looks like your female master doesn't hold you in her heart either."

If she truly cared for her Beast Husband, how could she keep sending him running around on her behalf.

"Being able to run errands for my female master is my honor, no matter how you put it. Unlike a certain someone, who right now can't even get through the door."

As soon as the Priest's words fell, he immediately sensed an icy, piercing gaze land on him.

Yet the next moment, he heard Ke Si say in a low, dark voice, "You came to the Silver Eagle Tribe for the matter between me and Yun Li?"

The Priest rested his chin on his hand. "Isn't it obvious? If the two of you intermarry, wouldn't the skills in her hands also become partly ours?"

Ke Si didn't even lift his eyelids. "Then you'll be disappointed."

"Oh~ So you're giving up your female, and the three little ones too?"

The Priest looked at him with a face full of surprise. "I saw your little ones today at the Silver Eagle Clan Chief and Priest's place. They really look exactly like you did as a child. I hear they're quite doted on by their mother.

As long as she's home, the little ones are basically hanging off her."

Hearing that last remark, Ke Si's gaze shifted slightly.

The Priest seemed to sense his wavering and said to him with a smile, "Actually, if you really don't want to share that female with other males, I happen to have a good idea."

Ke Si finally gave him a proper look. The Priest wore a smile on his face. "Just snatch her to Youbuluo and be done with it. Then she'd be yours and yours alone."

Ke Si lowered his eyes slightly, and to his own surprise, actually began considering the possibility.

Though the chances of success were very slim, with careful planning it wasn't entirely impossible.

But the moment that thought arose, the scene of Yun Li wiping her mouth with disgust after he forcibly kissed her today suddenly surfaced in his mind.

The male's heart sank, and the notion vanished entirely.

"Well? Are you tempted?"

Just at that moment, Priest You deliberately pressed him further, and Ke Si immediately let out a cold laugh and said, "Do you think I'm like you? That I'd do something so disgusting?"

Disgusting?

The smile instantly vanished from Priest You's face as he looked at Ke Si, his tone mocking. "I'm disgusting? As if you've never had such disgusting thoughts yourself."

Seeing that he didn't immediately refute him, Priest You continued, "You just can't get a female to like you, so knowing that even if you abducted one you wouldn't win her heart, you cower and don't dare to do it."
