Chapter 293: Shattered

Clinging to this hateful and unwilling thought, Yun Li fell into a coma again shortly after waking up.

What she didn't know was that, because of her being taken, several of her Beast Husbands erupted into an unprecedented argument and loss of control.

Ji Xuan, as the strongest in his family, automatically became the family's First Beast Husband after becoming a Purple Rank Beast Person, and also the Tribe's Young Master—oh no, now the Tribe's chief, yet he couldn't even protect his own female, which gave the other Beast Husbands the best reason to blame and resent him.

"As a Purple Rank Beast Person, you can't even protect your own female. Ji Xuan, what right do you have to be A Li's First Beast Husband!"

Leng Xiao despised Ji Xuan's incompetence, but he hated himself even more—why couldn't he break through the Blue Rank, why was he still a Qing Rank Beast Person after so long, and when his female most needed his protection, why was he so weak that he didn't even have the right to fight the enemy.

After saying that, he lifted his brother, who was still teetering on the brink of life and death, and seemed intent on leaving here heedlessly.

Ji Xuan and Mu Qing were both immersed in guilt and huge remorse at this moment, and the only Beastman who stopped Leng Xiao and tried to dissuade him was Ke Si.

"Are you crazy? What time is it now? Taking your brother away at a time like this—are you trying to send him to his death?"

Leng Xiao's voice was hoarse, "Get lost! What do you think you are!"

Ke Si, hearing that, let out an angry laugh; as a male who had come with them to rescue, he now calls himself "what"!.

"You're looking for death, aren't you?! Then I'll grant it!"

Ke Si's fist slammed straight into Leng Xiao's head; seeing him neither dodge nor evade, his legs staggered and he fell heavily to the ground, dragging his brother down with him.

Seeing this ignited another fury in him; he quickly kicked the male who was still being reckless at such a moment. As a male, why would Yun Li favor such a spineless male? The thought that he was even less than this male in Yun Li's eyes burned him.

Ke Si couldn't stop hating; if such a male could occupy a place in Yun Li's heart, then he must have been eating crap to be so angry with Yun Li over this male that he could even reject their Mate Bond.

The more he thought, the more worthless it seemed; Ke Si pressed his hand onto Leng Xiao's head and slammed it heavily onto the ground again.

Now Ji Xuan and Mu Qing finally reacted; although Ji Xuan was badly hurt by Leng Xiao's earlier words, in the end he had only spoken a truth he himself agreed with, so he actually bore no real grudge against Leng Xiao.

Seeing him beaten like this by Ke Si, he stepped forward to stop Ke Si, "Enough! Ke Si!"

"After all, he's a male of our family; even if he needs to be taught a lesson, it's not your place to do it."

Perhaps that sentence struck a nerve in Ke Si; without a word, he lunged at Ji Xuan.

Ji Xuan took several hard blows from Ke Si, then stopped holding back against him. From childhood he hadn't had a smooth life, but he grew up under the expectations and envy of the Beastmen, and he certainly had his own pride.

Yet today that pride was completely shattered by a male weaker than him, and he naturally felt resentment and anger.

Mu Qing's accusations, Leng Xiao's resentment, Ke Si's mockery—all of it kept jolting his already sensitive and fragile nerves, and Ke Si happened to strike at that moment.

He wanted to hit him, but he also wanted a place to vent his raging fire.

So the two started beating each other. If Mu Qing weren't still thinking about needing both of them later to rescue Yun Li, he might have jumped in upon seeing them fight like this.

Because only physical pain could prevent them from being completely drowned by guilt and remorse at that moment.

"Enough! Stop!"

Mu Qing, in beast form, sneaked up on the two mangled males, flung them away, then returned to human form and said coldly, "A Li still has value to that male. If we don't want to regret for a lifetime, the best thing now is to return to the Tribe to recover, then find a chance to rescue A Li again."

His words were like a mute button; for a moment the surroundings fell oddly silent, only heavy breaths could be heard.

After a while, Ji Xuan and Ke Si got up from the ground one after another.

"Let's go."

Ji Xuan had completely calmed down; Mu Qing didn't look at him, but walked straight to Leng Xiu's side, checking his current condition. When Leng Xiu was previously poisoned and severely wounded, even Ke Si had sentenced him to death.

Who knew he never actually died? After a day and night of fever, he remained in a near-death state that never turned into death.

But... after Mu Qing examined Leng Xiu's condition, he suddenly gave Leng Xiao, who wanted to die yet still dragged his brother to die with him, two hard kicks.

"If it weren't for A Li, I should now expel you from the house together with Ji Xuan."

Leng Xiao lay on the ground like a dead wolf, offering no resistance; when Mu Qing kicked him, his subconscious curled in pain without a sound.

He knows better than anyone that in this house he now has the least right to stay; his brother fought for A Li to the point of losing his life.

And he, when rescuing his own female, was the first to end up on the ground, and even when Cang Lang turned back to ambush them, he was just a burden to the other males protecting A Li.

If his strength weren't so weak that he couldn't even withstand a single strike from Cang Lang, they wouldn't have lost A Li again.

He truly should be expelled by them, because he no longer deserves to be A Li's female.

A Li A Li A Li...

Leng Xiao, in desperate desperation, shouted the name that once made him feel lifelong joy; at this moment he felt that the name "A Li" might be something he could never forget in his life, a scar that would never heal.

As the final torrential downpour of the rainy season fell, a female household welcomed a decade-long dampness for this family.

Even Yun Li herself hadn't expected that an accident would send her from heaven to hell, and when she finally rose from the brink of death in hell, she tried hard to return to her home in this world, only to be told she could never go back home.

Because no Beastman around knew where her home truly was, and the harder she struggled to find a way home in the river of time, the farther she unknowingly drifted from home.

After Cang Lang administered the thousand-leaf poison to Yun Li, he had no intention of snatching her back and fully detoxifying her; he simply gave her his own poison, suppressing the thousand-leaf poison in her body so that the Beastman wouldn't become a host for a toxin insect.

At the same time, he wanted to use this to control Yun Li, erasing her thoughts of returning to the Silver Eagle Tribe and her Beast Husband.

In response, Yun Li neither wanted to compromise nor accept her fate.

But with her strength and intellect, the chance of escaping Cang Lang's grasp was too low, so she used his curiosity about Silver Eagle Tribe weapons to spin a huge lie.
