Chapter 236: He

Mo Lie pressed his face against Lin Manzhi's hairline, feeling the warm heat on her silky scalp; his deep blue eyes carried a smile: "Alright, you are my Wife Master, I am your Beast Husband, we will always be together, never part."

Watching the issue of home pass, Lin Manzhi loosened her hand, rose from Mo Lie's embrace, sat back in her chair, and murmured softly: "Exactly, my space only lets you in."

She turned back to the table, folded the thin parchment with the plan, mentioned the past, and suddenly recalled the Losangya Tribe Chief she had seen before the lord's ascension at the Beast God Temple.

Lin Manzhi really does have someone she wants to meet now.

At that time.

Luo Ji, upon hearing from the warrior who came from Ansen City announcing that the new lord was Mo Lie, was terrified, his pupils trembling, his mind restless.

He thought of Mo Lie's affairs within the tribe back then… no matter what, he feared being settled by the lord.

But with the new lord's ascension, as the tribal chief surviving on the An Sen Continent, he must go to Ansen City to offer loyalty to the new lord.

Luo Ji racked his brain, finally thought of the Beastfolk who were on good terms with Mo Lie's family; when heading to Ansen City, he took that Beastfolk family along.

He hoped that when the lord punished him, that family could speak up for him; although the lord never shows mercy, maybe it could help!

On the day the new lord ascended, Lin Manzhi, among the western district tribal chief procession awaiting the new lord in Ansen City, saw Xi Tao's family behind Luo Ji.

She had always dug Sand-tail Grass Stalks with Xi Tao to sell Beast Coin, even collaborated to build Water Cellars for the tribe; Xi Tao was her first friend here.

Since going to Kuangsha City she never returned to the Losangya Tribe; this time, seeing Xi Tao again in the crowd, Lin Manzhi felt quite happy.

At the lord's ascension ceremony they met too hastily; she wanted someone to stay for Xi Tao but didn't get the chance. Later Mo Lie was busy, so she didn't bring it up, because in Ansen City Mo Lie didn't trust her going out alone, even with guards, so the matter was delayed.

Now that he has free time, Lin Manzhi didn't send anyone to summon; she simply dragged Mo Lie to find Xi Tao.

Tribal chiefs from across the An Sen Continent were assigned to the western mountain side of Ansen City; the spire‑like building clusters hide among trees, a thin layer of white snow covers the peaks.

Housing is allocated by strength; the stronger the tribe, the higher the residence; the Losangya Tribe was assigned a dwelling at the foot of the mountain.

The lord's ceremony has ended, most chiefs have returned to their tribes, only a few remain here.

Previously, when they came to Ansen City, they had to find their own lodging. This time, presenting loyalty and gifts to Ansen City, they can stay where the lord permits, and they plan to exchange some potions, salt, cloth, etc., to take back.

Luo Ji stays here with no mood for procurement, sits in the hall with a heavy heart, sighing at the outside.

He never imagined that the Spirit Core of the Supernatural Male Beast could ever recover after shattering.

His tribe's resources are extremely poor, located on the edge of the An Sen Continent, surrounded by barren desert, hard to find food, chronic water shortage; any tribe with some strength wouldn't be exiled here, let alone Mo Lie who couldn't even move, was carried in.

Beastfolk respect strength above all; no matter how high one's status was before, once crippled they become low‑rank Beastfolk.

Luo Ji naturally assumed Mo Lie's strength would keep declining, even though his Wife Master had been missing for a long time, he never sent anyone to look.

However, recently they received news from the lord.

They are about to welcome a new lord.

One must know this is the most grand event on the An Sen Continent; the lord has direct control over each tribe and appoints each chief; life and death rest on the lord's whim.

Back then Luo Ji didn't take Mo Lie seriously at all; now Luo Ji feels utterly desperate.

Fortunately that day nothing happened to the lord, and for several days nothing occurred, which made Luo Ji's anxious heart inevitably spawn another thought.

Perhaps, as the lord of the An Sen Continent, the powerful Supernatural Male Beast Mo Lie wouldn't care about a small person like him, especially since he never bullied Mo Lie back then.

At this moment, Luo Ji suddenly saw outside a herd of massive elephants pulling a house‑shaped ornate carriage slowly moving toward them, almost inhaling a cold breath, eyes widening in disbelief.

My Beast God…

The lord's carriage frame??!!

He's finished!

Luo Ji, with a face full of impending doom, leapt up from his seat, legs trembling, and walked toward the door.

He suddenly recalled something, turned back, urgently shouted to the Beastfolk behind him: "Quick, quick, call Xi Tao over, hurry!"

A series of urgings roared out like a death summons.

The Beastfolk, seeing the chief rush out like wind, paused a few seconds, sluggishly replied, then ran back shouting Xi Tao: "Lord Xi Tao, we don't know what urgent matter, the chief summons you quickly."

Xi Tao let out a startled cry: "…Ah!"

Cihe, startled, nervously reached out to support Xi Tao: "Take it easy, the ground is slippery, let me carry you."

In front of the house.

Luo Ji stood with four Losangya Tribe Beastfolk at the street side, trembling, watching the procession ahead.

Ahead, a line of four golden leopards led the way, the ornate carriage in the middle, followed by a massive lynx guard squad.

Such a grand display, besides the lord no one else. It instantly drew Beastfolk still in the mountain to emerge.

The beasts leisurely strode forward; wherever they passed, all Beastfolk bowed their heads in salute, the carriage stopped before a house at the mountain base.

The carriage doors opened, a tall black‑haired male beast cradled a female and stepped down.

He wore a jet‑black robe embroidered with gold, thin even for winter, handsome features, a pair of sky‑blue eyes coldly scanning the group of Beastfolk ahead: "Step back."

Beastfolk from various tribes answered tensely: "Yes, Lord."

This new lord's aura is stronger than the previous lord's; everyone heard his words and immediately dispersed, yet curiosity spiked—why is the lord approaching anyone for the first time?

Luo Ji's legs went weak, he knelt, could not lift his head, stammered: "Luo Ji… I pay my respects to the Lord."

It's over, I'm done.

The lord surely dislikes his dark history with the Losangya Tribe, maybe he's here to silence him?!
