Chapter 88: Chang Yue's Pursuit

Chang Yue smiled at Yun Li and the others, his gaze flicked quickly over Gong Mei and the others, and when he saw A Yu slightly lowering his head, not daring to look up at them, a faint hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

Since you know you're scared, you still dare to say those words on their turf.

The male's gaze landed on Yun Li's face, probably seeing her display a surprised expression of "seeing someone familiar," and Chang Yue's previously sour mood suddenly improved considerably.

He walked over to Yun Li, smiling, and asked the female, "Do you need me to guide you? I roughly know where the things females like are around here."

Even though he's a single male with no females, the mating instinct ingrained in a male's bones still makes him, consciously or not, notice what females generally like.

Especially after he realized he was interested in the female before him, he also meddled in the booth arrangement this time, so he naturally knows which items will please females.

Hearing that, Yun Li's face showed surprise, and Gong Mei and the others seemed to realize something, their gazes constantly shifting between her and Chang Yue.

Mu Qing's look at Chang Yue also carried a hint of caution and scrutiny, but Chang Yue still kept smiling at Yun Li.

Yun Li, though she guessed Chang Yue's intention, didn't reject him much, and said, "It's my first time here; I want to wander around on my own first. A Mei, what about you?"

Gong Mei, though she said she's not afraid of Chang Yue, doesn't like Snake Beastmen following behind, so she shook her head and said, "It's not our first time here, so we're fairly familiar and don't need anyone to guide us."

Chang Yue's eyes darkened a bit, feeling a slight displeasure at being rejected, but he showed none of it in front of Yun Li.

"Alright, what a pity. I originally wanted to tell you about our Witch Doctor's booth, but now…"

He said regretfully, shaking his head, "Since you don't need my help guiding, I'll take my people and continue the patrol."

Before he could finish speaking, the three Gong Mei who had been avoiding Chang Yue suddenly called out to the male, "Wait!"

"A Li, the Youbuluo's Witch Doctor's antidote pills are always hard to obtain."

She said earnestly while Yun Li gave a look for her to stop Chang Yue; seeing this, Yun Li had to call out to Chang Yue, "Wait, who is the Witch Doctor you mentioned?"

Chang Yue said with a smug expression, "Of course it's Lord Ke Si."

Yun Li seemed to recall something, "The most handsome male you were with in the wasteland before."

That is the Blue Rank Beastman.

The smile on Chang Yue's face faded a bit, but he still nodded, "Yes, that's our Lord Ke Si."

"Do you like the Witch Doctor?"

Chang Yue's remark, not just to Yun Li and the others, but even the few Snake Beastmen behind him wore looks of disbelief toward Yun Li.

Yun Li:!!!

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

Chang Yue's tone was a bit sour, "You praised Lord Ke Si for being good‑looking."

Yun Li: "…but he really is good‑looking."

She was speaking the truth.

But the female, in front of him, praised another male; even though that male is the Ke Si he has always admired, Chang Yue still feels jealous.

"Then I'm not good‑looking?"

Chang Yue couldn't help asking her.

Yun Li looked at him speechlessly, bluntly brushing him off, "Good‑looking, good‑looking, so can you take us to the booth of the Ke Si you mentioned?"

Chang Yue wasn't satisfied with her dismissive tone, "Do you really think I'm good‑looking?"

"By my standards, you indeed are good‑looking."

Yun Li, seeing he wouldn't stop, had to take it a bit more seriously.

Chang Yue instantly flashed two dimples, and Yun Li, looking at those dimples, couldn't help glancing up at him twice more.

Sensing that her gaze lingered on his face a bit longer, Chang Yue instantly believed her claim that he was good‑looking.

"Ahem, fine."

He lifted his hand, gave a light cough to cover the smile at his mouth, "Then you all follow me."

After speaking, Chang Yue glanced at the few Snake Beastmen behind him, "I'll take them to find the Witch Doctor; you guys can handle this area."

The Snake Beastmen's faces looked a bit odd, but they said nothing, nodded, and cleared the way for them.

Chang Yue led Yun Li's group around the booths here, heading straight toward the temporary settlement of the Youbuluo Beastmen.

"Is this where your Witch Doctor lives?"

Compared to Gong Mei, who had become wary of Chang Yue's possible ulterior motives, Yun Li, knowing her Beast Husband is a Blue Rank Beastman, felt much more at ease and even had the mind to observe the surroundings.

The Witch Doctor of the Youbuluo appears to be someone who likes quiet; the place doesn't seem remote, but no Beastmen dare come, showing his temperament isn't good.

This male brought so many of them to disturb him; could it be that he has a good relationship with the Witch Doctor he mentioned?

Just as that thought formed, a voice tinged with slight displeasure came from somewhere.

"Chang Yue"

The Beastman who called the name wore a gentle expression, but his gaze at Yun Li and the others was unmistakably cold, "Who sent you to bring them here."

Seeing Ke Si angry, Chang Yue instantly flashed a brilliant smile and approached, "Witch Doctor, you heard of me."

He lowered his voice and whispered two rapid sentences into Ke Si's ear; Yun Li and the others, knowing Ke Si's great strength and not daring to get close, couldn't hear what he said.

Ke Si's previously cold expression softened slightly, then he quickly turned into the house, took out a water gourd, and tossed it to Chang Yue.

"No next time!"

He warned Chang Yue, his gaze flashing across Yun Li's face.

He knew this was the female Chang Yue liked, indeed beautiful, but too weak.

Ke Si doesn't like frail females.

"Got it, don't worry, Witch Doctor, just this once."

After catching the water gourd, Chang Yue walked toward Yun Li, "Here, the Witch Doctor's antidote pills; after eating them, they can neutralize most poisons. You can give them to your friend."

Yun Li, having taken Chang Yue's item, felt the water gourd containing the antidote pills was somewhat hot to the touch.

"Don't we need to exchange something? We can't just take the Witch Doctor's items for free."

Chang Yue smiled in his eyes, "The Witch Doctor lacks nothing; these antidote pills are what I requested from him. Take them without worry; I have no ill intentions toward you."

He just wants to court her and form a Mate Bond.

Yun Li is not the first time she's been forced by a male to have something thrust upon her, but this antidote pill should be something that can save a life, and it's her first time receiving something so important, so she can't help looking at Mu Qing.

But Mu Qing is staring intently at Zhang Yue, giving her no response.

It's Gong Mei and Xin's group who keep nodding at her, taking it, determined to take it.

This is a good thing that can save a life at a crucial moment.

It can't be left unclaimed, and moreover, when a female is pursued by a male, accepting their gifts is already an implicit custom.
