Chapter 280: End

A single sentence instantly made Ke Si stop in his tracks.

He coldly looked at Cang Lang and said, "What does this have to do with you?"

Ke Si is a Beastman who wouldn't even listen to the words of a female he likes, so how could he suddenly change his mind because of a stranger male's words.

But Cang Lang looked at him and said with a hint of pity, "A male like you shouldn't fall for someone else; otherwise you'll only make yourself suffer, and also make the female you like suffer."

Those words immediately struck Ke Si's sore spot.

In the next instant, Ke Si appeared before Cang Lang without warning and reached out to clamp his neck.

Seeing this, Cang Lang frowned slightly, stepped aside, and easily evaded Ke Si's surprise attack.

Ke Si's eyes hardened; he had originally intended only to give him a lesson and then stop, but instead he went all out against the other.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Outside the house, two males started fighting for no apparent reason; a passing Witch Doctor saw the scene, recognized Ke Si, and hurried into the house to report to Yun Li.

"Ke Si, stop right now!"

When Yun Li emerged with the other Witch Doctors, the two males were still fighting. She was shocked that a male as slender and refined as Cang Lang could withstand so many moves from Ke Si without being outmatched, but this was a clinic, not a place where Ke Si could beat anyone he disliked at will; otherwise other Beastmen would copy him.

Hearing that, Ke Si's attention briefly wavered, but his movements did not ease at all.

Cang Lang had underestimated the male's strength and his concern for that female; a single misstep led to a punch to his shoulder, sending a sharp pain through the shoulder and discomfort in his abdomen, and Cang Lang actually spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Cang Lang!"

Chun hadn't expected that after being away just a short while, she would witness such a scene that made one's eyes want to burst.

"Yun Li, are you being too bullying? How did Cang Lang offend you that you would have your male beat him like this?"

Chun ran to Cang Lang's side, saw that he had already fainted, felt a surge of anger, and lifted her head to roar at Yun Li.

Yun Li kept a slightly composed face, did not answer her, turned and ordered Cang Lang to be carried into the house, but Chun remained angry and outright rejected Yun Li's belated goodwill.

It was Jiao Jiao who, upon hearing the news, came out, urged her to first bring the person inside, and let the tribe Witch Doctor examine him before dealing with anything else.

After a crowd of Beastmen clamored into the house, Yun Li finally looked at the culprit, "He offended you?"

Ke Si's expression was cold, "I was just testing his strength. The north has already been occupied by foreign Beastmen; a Blue Rank Beastman like him should be protecting his surviving clan in the north, yet he sneaks alone to the south. Doesn't that seem odd to you?"

Moreover, the northern Tribe hasn't even reported any Blue Rank Beastmen appearing, which is why Ke Si grew suspicious.

As for the few words they exchanged at the start, Ke Si didn't want to bring them up in front of Yun Li, and felt it would be useless even if he did.

"Even if there's something strange about him, this is the Silver Eagle Tribe."

He injured someone now, and so many Beastmen saw it; even if it was a test, it's not the way he should test people.

"If you do something like this again, I'll tell Ji Xuan to have a proper talk with you." Yun Li's tone was icy.

If he doesn't even consider himself a Beastman of the Silver Eagle Tribe, how could Yun Li not be satisfied with him?

Ke Si sensed her anger toward him, and an unnamed fire flared up in his heart again.

But Yun Li, as if weary, compromised, "In two days we'll go to the Priest for the Pairing Ceremony; after that you can return to your Tribe, and when I have time I'll take the cub to Youbuluo to visit."

Ke Si grabbed her hand, "What do you mean?"

Yun Li lowered her eyes, watching him hold her hand; a male doesn't restrain his strength when grabbing, but she no longer cared about that trivial matter.

"As you said before, after we form a Mate Bond, I'll stay in Youbuluo for a while during the rainy season."

She no longer sought any emotional bond with Ke Si; since it was for the great matter of uniting the two Tribes, they should seal the Mate Bond quickly. She'd be done with Ke Si, and she already had other Beast Husbands, so there was no need to waste much thought on a male who wouldn't listen to anyone.

Even though Yun Li had agreed to her request, Ke Si somehow felt so angry.

Seeing his gloomy expression, Yun Li knew he was angry again, but could his anger prevent him from releasing her hand?

"Let go! You don't know how much it hurts me!"

When he taught her medicine before, he was also capricious, but not as gloomy as now.

It seems he truly can't accept sharing the same female with other males; otherwise, why would he keep contesting her over this?

Yun Li actually didn't mind Ke Si's unwillingness to share a female with other males; after all, he's a Beastman with his own thoughts and reasoning. Even if some of his ideas differ from most Beastmen, as long as they aren't selfish at others' expense, it's fine for him to think them.

She just felt unlucky; had she known Ke Si was like this, she shouldn't have let herself be seduced and spent that night with him.

In that case, perhaps the Tribe has other females more suitable for him to marry, or she could find a male in Youbuluo who can accept her current family situation, making everyone happy.

Seeing the female glare at him, Ke Si eased his grip but didn't let go.

"Yun Li, I'll ask you again: did you ever truly like me?"

Ke Si had asked this before, but it was the first time he asked it in such a calm tone.

Yun Li calmed down; she didn't lie to him on this question, and she had no desire to lie.

"When you taught me medicine, I truly liked you, but haven't you always said you don't like that I have several other Beast Husbands? I like you, but my affection for you won't surpass them.

So… I don't like you anymore now."

After speaking, she reached out and forcefully pulled Ke Si's hand off her wrist.

"Think it over yourself; if you're willing to attend the Pairing Ceremony in two days, come, otherwise we'll figure out a way to gloss this over together."

We can't just be seen as fine for a while and then break apart.

Yun Li had a headache, while Ke Si's heart had become completely cold.

"No need to consider it; I won't go."

He refuses, and he won't watch her perform for him.

Ke Si's words let Yun Li breathe a sigh of relief deep down, but she immediately frowned again.

How can we gloss this over for the other Beastmen?
