Chapter 103: The Death of Qiqi and Lumi
The Death of Qiqi and Lumi
Lumi raised his head, looking at Chaosheng in surprise, and spoke in a daze: "I..."
Chaosheng leaned down slightly, the corners of her mouth curling into a cold arc, "Since you are so loyal to her, go and scout the path for her."
After she finished speaking, Chaosheng's gaze shifted, and a cyan-white Wind Blade pierced straight into Lumi's heart.
An intense pain exploded in his chest, and Lumi looked at this incomparably beautiful Mermaid Female in disbelief; had he... really just died like this?
It was clear that he only wanted to live a good life.
The Wind Blade vanished, and Lumi fell into the seabed with a clatter, transforming into a palm-sized clam, already devoid of any life.
"Ah!"
Qiqi stared at this scene, dumbfounded; the Beast Husband she had spent every day with had just died like this?
She seemed to have already imagined the sight of that Wind Blade piercing into her own body.
She looked in terror at the Mermaid Female standing there indifferently; she looked as if she had just casually killed an inconspicuous little fish or shrimp, her expression calm, her posture elegant.
This female... was too terrifying.
She shook her head in horror, her eyes losing focus, and she kept shrinking backward, "Don't come over, don't come over..."
She looked around in a panic, seemingly searching for any opportunity that might allow her to survive.
Upon seeing the three strong Male Beastmen that Chaosheng had brought, she shuddered abruptly, her mind going blank for an instant; she could not escape.
What to do, what to do?
She did not want to die yet.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she scrambled over in a panic, "Leader, save me, save me!"
She clawed at Heixi's slender legs, looking up with pleading eyes, "Leader, save me!"
"I don't want to die yet!"
Heixi lowered her head, watching her in a trance for a while, and finally, the various emotions in her eyes went cold, and she turned her head away heartlessly, "You did such a thing; we cannot help you."
They could not afford to offend that Mermaid Female.
"No, no, Leader, only you can save me now!"
Qiqi said despairingly; if only Wushi were still here, then he could still plead for her.
It was Wushi who had pleaded for her back then, which was why this Mermaid Female had let her go.
"She cannot save you."
"And I have already given you too many chances."
Chaosheng stared at her coldly, flicking her large purple tail as she approached step by step.
Her heart was racing; Qiqi seemed to have already felt the taste of death.
"Don't..."
Before she could finish her sentence, the same cyan-white Wind Blade pierced into her chest; she looked at the Wind Blade stuck in her chest in disbelief, and with her dull, lifeless black eyes wide open, she fell onto the seabed, turning into a large black butterfly shell.
"Sigh!"
Heixi sighed silently; after all, this was a Beastman of her Tribe.
She looked at Chaosheng with two parts more pleading in her eyes, "Since Qiqi is already dead, your revenge has been avenged."
"Just leave Qiqi in the Tribe."
"Hmm?" Chaosheng frowned slightly, looking at Heixi in confusion; leave her in the Tribe? What did that mean?
"What do you mean by that?"
Heixi thought Chaosheng was unwilling, and a trace of hesitation appeared on her sorrowful face, but upon seeing Qiqi's corpse on the ground, she still wanted to plead for her, "Since you have already killed her to take revenge."
"Give her a decent death."
"Don't eat her..."
Hearing this, Chaosheng finally remembered her words about wanting to eat Qiqi, and a sense of awkwardness mixed into her expression of realization; she had only been trying to scare her.
She did not want to eat such unfresh meat anyway.
"Then I shall grant your request."
Chaosheng agreed readily, looking at the three Male Beastmen who were still waiting for her, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly, "It's settled."
"Let's go home."
After Chaosheng left the Black Butterfly Tribe, she was troubled again.
She looked in confusion at the three little Beastmen in the hands of Yinxu, Baini, and Changye; what was to be done with these three little cubs?
She couldn't just take them home to raise.
Tuyi lowered his head in fear; after dealing with that black butterfly shell female, was it going to be their turn?
Tu'er and Tusan also seemed to have sensed something, lowering their heads uneasily.
Tuyi looked at his brothers who were at a loss, the struggle in his eyes flashing by, eventually transforming into an inexplicable courage; he raised his head, closed his eyes, and spoke fearlessly, "You... don't hurt Tu'er and Tusan, I was the one who decided on these things."
"I was the one who led them to steal your things."
"If you want to kill... then kill me."
If Tuyi had still harbored a glimmer of hope that he might not die before, his mood had plummeted to the bottom after witnessing those two Beastmen die before his eyes.
If someone had to die... let it just be him.
As long as Tu'er and Tusan lived, that was enough.
Tu'er looked at him in surprise, "Brother..."
"No, I don't want Brother to die..." Tusan shook his little head frantically, tears shimmering in his round eyes.
He gripped Changye's finger, looking at him with eyes full of pleading, "Can you please let my brother go..."
As he spoke, tears fell plop-plop from his eyes, and his pitiful appearance made Changye unable to bear it; he struggled to blink his eyes, wanting to plead for them, "Chaosheng, female, why not just let it go?"
"Anyway, they didn't manage to steal anything."
"And they are all just little cubs with no ability to survive."
"It was only because they were truly starving that they did such a thing."
Chaosheng listened with composure, the corners of her mouth curling into a smile that was not quite a smile, "When did I say I was going to kill them?"
Tuyi, who was waiting for the pronouncement of death, suddenly raised his head upon hearing these words, looking at Chaosheng in disbelief, "What do you mean?"
"You... you aren't going to kill me anymore?"
Chaosheng lightly raised an eyebrow and nodded, "Mm."
"Wow! That's great!"
Seeing that Chaosheng had truly let them go, Tusan jumped up in excitement; it was great, they didn't have to die!
"Duang!"
"Ouch!"
Tusan let out a cry of pain.
Changye watched, stunned, as the little cub broke free from his hands and fell to the ground; he nervously crouched down and asked, "Are you alright?"
Tusan rubbed his sore, fallen-upon bottom, shaking his head with a mix of joy and grievance, "No... I'm fine."
"Tu..." Tuyi watched Tusan suddenly fall and spoke up with concern, only setting his mind at ease after hearing Tusan say he was fine.
As long as he was fine, as long as he was fine.
Baini sighed slightly and placed Tusan casually onto the seabed, "Alright, little thing."
"You can live."
Baini was not petty enough to insist on haggling with a few little cubs; now that his anger had subsided and Sheng had spoken, he would let them off the hook.
Seeing this, Yinxu also set Tu'er down and gently stroked his head, "Go on."
Immediately, the three little Beastmen stuck together, happily hugging each other.
"That's great!"
"None of us have to die!"
"Mermaid sister, *hic*... you're so kind!" Tusan sobbed, though this time he was crying out of happiness and being moved.
"Mm!" Tuyi sniffled, moved, and nodded.
