Chapter 102: Qicong Leaves

Qicong leaves.

How could she have known that these three little Beastmen didn't die at Chaosheng's hands, and that they had actually exposed her?

She admitted that it was because she heard Baini's dowry was substantial that she had harbored evil intentions.

Not to mention Wushi, a Male who had nothing but a few special abilities.

The two Beastmen Xizhi had sent her were good-looking, understanding enough, and had special abilities, but they hadn't brought back a single bit of dowry.

Hearing that Baipei had given half the Tribe's treasures to that Mermaid, she was filled with secret hatred, and it just so happened that these three little Beastmen had bumped into her.

So she let them go and try.

Who would have known it would develop like this?

"You... what are you doing?"

Qiqi looked at the approaching Mermaid Female in terror; she propped herself up with her hands behind her, shrinking back continuously, murmuring, "Don't... don't come back..."

"Speaking of which..." Chaosheng curled her lips into a swaying smile, her eyes staring at her with a clear, quiet gaze, "I haven't eaten clam meat yet."

"I wonder what the meat of a Black Butterfly Clam tastes like?"

"Ah!"

Qiqi erupted into a shrill scream; she writhed on the seabed sand, the stunningly beautiful Mermaid Female before her like a demon.

She actually wanted to eat her?

"Don't come over, don't come back..."

She said in a daze, and suddenly she rushed toward her two Beast Husbands, "Lumi, Qicong, save me!"

"I can't die, I don't want to die!"

Her ink-black hands gripped Qicong's ankles tightly; Qicong looked at the Female Beastman before him, who was in such a disheveled state with tears and snot streaming down her face, a flash of disgust crossing his eyes, "Mate, you harmed Female Chaosheng; we are powerless to help."

Then he lifted his foot and flicked, shaking Qiqi off.

Lumi looked at Qicong's actions, his expression hesitant, "But..."

"She is our Mate after all; we have already bonded with her..."

He didn't say the rest; if Qiqi died, the two of them would find it very difficult to find another Female.

Qicong glared at him fiercely, his small mouth as if laced with poison, "If you feel sorry for her, then go die with her!"

He didn't have that much affection for Qiqi; they had been sent over by Xizhi for profit in the first place.

Now that Xizhi was dead, they had no use staying here; it would be better to return to the Whale Shark Tribe. At the very least, the Whale Shark Tribe was much more powerful than this Black Butterfly Tribe, and they could at least manage to get a meal.

Qiqi was lazy all day long and liked Lumi's sycophantic ways, so she demanded he go hunting all day; any prey caught had to be handed over to her, and after she finished picking the best parts to eat, she would leave a portion, then give him the remaining scraps and leftovers.

Ever since Wushi died, he seemed to have taken Wushi's place; except for the fact that Qiqi didn't beat him, he had the lowest status in the house, being ordered around by her and Lumi every day.

He had long since had enough.

What's more... Qiqi was a stupid and clumsy Female, and she wasn't even good-looking; what he liked most was the snow-white skin like Clan Leader Xizhi and the Mermaid Female before him.

This Female's black skin made him want to vomit; now that there was a chance to leave her, he was eager to do so.

Immediately, he straightened his expression, looked at Chaosheng, and hurriedly drew a line between himself and Qiqi, "If you want to kill her, then kill her."

"I was sent by Clan Leader Xizhi; I never had any feelings for her anyway."

"Don't let the matters between you two implicate me; I just want to hurry back to the Whale Shark Tribe."

"Fine." Chaosheng nodded without hesitation; she didn't have any hatred for these two Male Beastmen, and it wasn't as if she absolutely had to kill them; letting them go was fine.

"If you want to leave, you can go now!"

Hearing this, Qicong turned around without the slightest hesitation, ready to leave this hellish place.

Qiqi looked at his back in despair, roaring with a face full of tears, "Qicong, come back!"

"You are my Beast Husband, how can you leave me behind and send me to my death?"

But no matter how she shouted, Qicong walked away without looking back.

She whimpered in sorrow for a while, as if she had suddenly thought of something, and looked at Lumi with astonishingly bright eyes, "Lumi, you won't leave me, right?"

"You will save me, won't you?"

"Usually, I cherish you the most!"

The Female's claws gripped Lumi's knees desperately, as if grabbing the last straw of hope.

Lumi looked at her in silence, his heart struggling incessantly.

He didn't want to die yet.

But he had nowhere else to go.

Clan Leader Xizhi was dead, and now Xihang was the Clan Leader.

He had once had a rift with Xihang; he had once tried to seduce Xizhi, but before he could succeed, Xihang found out.

Xihang had originally wanted to deal with him, but Clan Leader Xizhi had protected him.

But now Clan Leader Xizhi was dead; he was different from Qicong. Qicong was a Whale Shark Beastman; no matter what, the Whale Shark Tribe would always have a place for him.

But he was different; he wasn't even a Whale Shark Beastman, just a little Beastman who had accidentally had the opportunity to rely on the Whale Shark Tribe for a living.

If Qiqi died, he couldn't return to the Whale Shark Tribe, nor could he marry another Female; then he could only become a Wandering Orc, living alone, living in pain, living in this ocean world full of danger everywhere, not knowing when he would die.

He didn't want that; Lumi covered his head, his brows twisted in pain, and he looked at Chaosheng pleadingly, "Please, let my Mate go, okay?"

"Don't kill her; she really didn't mean to harm you."

Oh, there's a devoted one?

Chaosheng sized him up for a few seconds, then suddenly chuckled, "You and Qiqi have a good relationship, so you're sticking by her now?"

"I..." Lumi pondered for a moment, then gathered his courage and said, "Yes, I love her very much."

"So please, let her go, okay?"

"I'll kneel to you."

With a clatter, Lumi knelt down.

Qiqi moved, took his hand, and her parched, pale black lips moved, "Lumi, I knew I hadn't loved the wrong person."

"You are still the best, to actually do this much for me!"

"You are not at all like that vicious and heartless Male Beastman, Qicong."

Being watched like this by his Mate, not a single ripple stirred in Lumi's heart.

He simply had no other choice.

He even felt a bit of regret; after killing Wushi back then, he had started sowing discord between Qicong and Qiqi, which resulted in Qicong leaving without the slightest hesitation now.

If he had been willing to stay, as a Whale Shark Beastman, his words should have still carried some weight, right...

Watching this touching, heartfelt drama unfold, Chaosheng exclaimed, "Truly moving."

"I wonder what Wushi would think if he saw this?"

"I heard that after you two Male Beastmen arrived, Wushi lived a very miserable life and died quite quickly, right?"

"I..." Lumi frowned, his eyelashes blinking with a guilty conscience, his heart constantly guessing, why did this female bring up Wushi?

"Wushi's death has something to do with you too, doesn't it?"

"!"
