Chapter 290: Negotiation

Meng Liang looked at the three of Cang Lang with a gloomy and terrifying gaze, and just as Yun Li thought that, as a male Purple-rank Beast Person, she would not heed Cang Lang's threat, Meng Liang's face seemed to twitch, then he lowered his head and, in a voice full of resentment and grievance, said:

"You'd better not fall into my hands one day, or else…"

Cang Lang laughed unavoidably, then turned his head to look at Yun Li:

"Your Beast Husbands are about to come looking for you; later remember to bid them a proper farewell, after which you probably won't see them again."

Hearing that, Yun Li's mind rang an alarm: "You want to use me to threaten them?"

Despicable! Shameless!

Realizing this, Yun Li could no longer care about anything else; she transformed instantly and struck at Cang Lang.

But the gap in strength was evident; Yun Li was quickly pressed to the ground by Jia Sha.

Watching the female struggling in Jia Sha's grasp, Cang Lang gently reached out and patted her head, "Don't cry; after today it'll be over. You're the goddess I chose; how can you become so wretched for a few males."

"Get lost! Don't touch me! You disgusting scum!"

Realizing Cang Lang's aim was her Beast Husband, Yun Li at that moment wished she could tear this male to pieces.

Yet as soon as she finished speaking, Cang Lang's hand unhesitatingly clamped around Yun Li's throat.

Yun Li instinctively struggled, but her mouth still spat the most venomous curses at Cang Lang, "You… you will… meet a terrible end! Scum… you are just scum!"

He deserves to be a Beast Slave for this life.

But the final words never left her lips; Cang Lang suddenly released his grip on Yun Li, nearly killing the goddess he had chosen.

If she were to die, the odds of the remaining three making it back alive would be slim.

"Trying to force me to kill you with those words? You aren't bad to your Beast Husband."

Coldness filled Cang Lang's eyes; he had actually admired Yun Li a bit, after all, the deeds she accomplished in the Silver Eagle Tribe were beyond ordinary Beast Persons, and after being captured by him she constantly behaved with tact, leading him to mistakenly think the female had resigned herself to fate.

Who knew she now harbored thoughts contrary to his wishes? It's just a few males. If she obeyed him and fulfilled her role as his goddess, any male she wanted later would be unattainable.

Yun Li took a while to steady her rapid breathing; hearing Cang Lang's words, she merely let out a cold laugh, then turned her head away, no longer looking at him.

Now, looking at him, she couldn't conceal the murderous intent toward him; he was her Beast Husband she lived with day and night, not just anyone.

Not to mention they have offspring; if they all die, what will happen to her young?

Yun Li had never despised her own weakness as much as now; otherwise she wouldn't have ended up like this.

……

"A Li!"

【6】 When Leng Xiao and his group landed, the first thing they saw was Yun Li being held by Jia Sha.

As soon as Leng Xiao and his party landed, they saw Yun Li, who was being held by Jia Sha.

Yun Li saw several of her Beast Husbands arrive, her eyes warmed, yet she steeled herself and said, "Don't worry about me, kill them!"

But as soon as she spoke, Jia Sha warned, "Shut up, or don't blame me for being polite to you."

"Let her go! Loosen your grip on her!"

Leng Xiao, seeing his female being treated that way, also frowned, but didn't recklessly rush forward.

Because it involved A Li, even if Leng Xiao was furious inside, this moment couldn't suppress his temperament.

"Release A Li, or you won't get out of here."

When Ji Xuan said this, he had already moved to the front; on either side of him stood either Mu Qing or Leng Xiu, and the Ke Si who had come along was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing all the Beast Persons arrive, Cang Lang couldn't help but smile faintly, "Is that so? Then I want to see whether you can watch your own female die right before you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Sha's arm tightened around Yun Li's throat, and a painful expression involuntarily crossed Yun Li's face.

A Li!

Leng Xiao clenched his fists, and Leng Xiu's complexion also turned unpleasant.

Only Ji Xuan and Mu Qing didn't show it as overtly; one wore an icy expression, the other stared at Jia Sha as if looking at a corpse.

"What do you want? What must we do to have our females released?"

Even though Ji Xuan, as the strongest among Yun Li's Beast Husbands, should have been the one to speak with Cang Lang, seeing his female suffer in another's hands made Leng Xiu, usually composed, begin to lose control.

Cang Lang turned his head to glance at Yun Li, smiling lightly, "What if I said I wanted your tribe to join the Giant Clan?"

Hearing this, Mu Qing and the others all wore a 'you're crazy' expression; a flash of coldness crossed Ji Xuan's eyes, yet after a moment he simply shook his head lightly.

"You know full well that's impossible. However, if you want our tribe to do something for the Giant Clan, as long as you treat our females well, we can discuss it."

A hasty agreement would seem insincere, so Ji Xuan adopted a compromise, at least ensuring his females' safety.

"Oh?"

Seeming surprised that Ji Xuan would say that, Cang Lang looked at him again, "For your females, you would do any task for us?"

Meng Liang didn't know what Cang Lang intended, but hearing Ji Xuan's words gave him ideas; the Heiyan Shanmai was a place the Giant Clan would eventually seize, and if the Silver Eagle Tribe were willing to serve them for a single female, occupying it might save them a lot of effort.

"We won't commit wanton slaughter of innocents."

Ji Xuan's purpose this time was only to rescue his female, not truly intending to make the males before him into hunting hawks; if Ke Si hadn't yet found a suitable opportunity, why would they be spouting such nonsense to him?

Especially since his female had constantly been warning them in her own way, Ji Xuan's wariness toward Cang Lang grew even stronger.

He trusted his female; even now, she wouldn't risk his or their lives.

Mu Qing saw Yun Li constantly eyeing his belt pouch, and his hand instinctively reached for it. Not being adept at lip‑reading, it took him a while, but when Yun Li made a pained expression, he suddenly thought of something, stepped forward two paces, pretended to say something to Ji Xuan, but actually wrote something on Ji Xuan's back with his hand.

"Beware of poisoning!"

On Yun Li's side, seeing that they still hadn't understood her meaning, she grew frantic; she wasn't afraid of dying, but feared that once she shouted, Cang Lang would show no restraint at all and would simply force her…

Although she knew deep down that Ji Xuan and the others would definitely rescue her no matter what, if they got into trouble because of her, Yun Li would feel guilty for life.

So when she saw Mu Qing finally make a move, her spirit relaxed abruptly, but turning back she saw the smile at Cang Lang's mouth corner, and a bone‑chilling coldness rose again in her heart.
