Chapter 64: Bailiake

Bailiake

"What about those Beastmen who died in vain? They were willing to work for your Whale Shark Tribe for the Sea Spirit Ginseng, yet they still died from a Mental Sea Riot."

"They all just wanted to live!"

Chaosheng's voice was resonant and powerful, her eyes filled with compassion, and every word seemed to tread upon Rusui's heart.

"But Xichong didn't make them do that."

Rusui sat on the ground and argued feebly, "When Xichong became the Tribe leader, he had no time to attend to these matters; everything was done as it had been in the past."

"This can't be blamed on Xichong either..."

"Can't blame him?" Chaosheng looked at Rusui in disbelief, her beautiful brows furrowed tightly, the curve of her mouth mocking, "Truly laughable."

"When Xizhi was here, he used these Beastmen to harvest Sea Spirit Ginseng, and then sold this Sea Spirit Ginseng to other Tribes."

"Did you not enjoy the benefits of this?"

"You did enjoy them, showing off to me so triumphantly at the time."

"And..." Chaosheng's voice sank and paused, her gaze looking at Xichong and Rusui like a cold sword, "Did those Beastmen really gather to find me for no reason?"

"Does it really have nothing to do with you?"

"In the end, it is nothing but bringing it upon yourselves."

Rusui's breath hitched, and she slumped onto the seabed, looking at Chaosheng in disbelief.

Could she really know everything?

At this moment, she had no choice but to believe her sister's words.

This female is truly mysterious, as if she has the protection of the Sea God; everything goes smoothly for her, and nothing can hurt her.

Xichong was still rolling on the ground, wailing in pain; this did not seem to be ordinary grass vines.

The barbs shredded his flesh, and the mucus from the vines entered his wounds, making his arms both itchy and painful.

"Yinxu, let's go."

Chaosheng no longer cared to admire their ugly state.

She had overestimated them; she feared they hadn't even connected Xizhi's death to her yet.

What? Did they really think she didn't have the guts to kill Xizhi?

"Okay."

Yinxu carried the hunted prey and followed Chaosheng as she swam toward home.

The once-quiet sea area was now noisy.

Several massive creatures were swimming back and forth at the cave entrance.

Hmm? Why are the Orcas from the Jingju Tribe here?

The Orcas spotted Chaosheng and hurriedly said, "She's back! She's back!"

"What happened?"

Chaosheng swam into the cave without delay, secretly guessing, could it be Baini...

Yinxu dragged a large bag of prey behind her, ripples spreading out; wherever the little Mermaid swam, it seemed to carry the little Mermaid's unique scent.

"Baini?!"

Chaosheng ignored the other Beastmen in the cave and looked at Baini, who was sitting in front, with a panicked expression. She came to Baini's side, "What's wrong?"

"Did something happen to you?"

Baini shook his head dejectedly, "Not me."

"It's my brother."

Afterward, he hurriedly made room, revealing two Beastmen who had been tightly covered, "Quick, take a look at them!"

Two Male Beastmen were lying there; one was someone Chaosheng had seen before, who seemed to be Baini's brother, Baili.

She had never seen the other Beastman.

"Chaosheng, see if you can save them..." Baipei looked at her son with a pained heart; Baili was her eldest son.

After marrying out early, his life had been good, and he often returned to the Tribe to see her and his other younger siblings.

Such a good child, and this time he was actually harmed by that base beast!

"Okay."

Chaosheng lightly released two wisps of Witch Power into their bodies, and the more she probed, the more alarmed she became; there was such dense Black Filth on these two Beastmen!

She continuously channeled her Witch Power into their Mental Sea, helping them clear away that Black Filth.

Then she asked, full of confusion: "How did they end up like this?"

Speaking of this, Baipei clenched her fists tightly, her gentle eyes now full of hatred, "How did it end up like this?"

"Who else but that base beast?!"

"Baiqi divorced him, but she kept secretly providing for him; I knew that."

"But he still wasn't satisfied!"

"He kept sowing discord between Baiqi and Yakeyazhu, and this time he even harbored evil intentions, wanting to kill them."

At first, Baiqi did listen to Lianxun, and she was at odds with her two Beast Husbands, treating them very poorly.

Even several times when Lianxun cried to her, she would punish them without a second thought.

But as they spent time together, Baiqi also realized that her two Beast Husbands were not bad people; even when she treated them like that, they would still protect her and indulge her.

Baiqi slowly softened, and her attitude toward her two Beast Husbands also softened.

Lianxun keenly sensed this, and after hearing about the Black Rift Valley yesterday, he hatched a poisonous plan.

Taking advantage of Baiqi being out hunting, Lianxun gave a Black Fish Orc some benefits to help him pass on a message.

"Just tell them that their Mate wants them to hurry to the Black Rift Valley; she discovered Sea Spirit Ginseng there that hasn't been fully harvested yet."

The Black Fish Orc delivered the message as agreed, but since only Yake and Baili were together at the time, Yake dragged Baili along to the Black Rift Valley to help "Baiqi."

When they stood by the edge of the Black Rift Valley to look, Lianxun pushed Baili and Yake down from behind.

They were not discovered until today.

"Once Baili wakes up, I will personally go and catch that lowly Beastman, kill him, and avenge my two sons!"

Baipei said viciously, her gentle and charitable face now full of hatred; she had underestimated Lianxun.

Last time he dared to target Baini, this time he dared to push Baili and Yake; what else is there that he wouldn't dare to do?

If Baiqi continues to be obsessed and refuse to repent, she would rather... have never had this daughter.

The Mental Seas of the two Beastmen were already in complete chaos; if Chaosheng had returned even a quarter of an hour later, these two Beastmen would likely have been gone.

Chaosheng dared not delay, focusing on clearing the Black Filth in the two Beastmen's Mental Seas; because of the excessive use of Witch Power, her crimson lips lost their color and turned deathly pale.

A bead of sweat trickled down her fair temple.

All the Beastmen breathed carefully, not daring to make any sound, for fear of disturbing Chaosheng as she saved the Beastmen.

After a long while, Chaosheng slowly withdrew her Witch Power, steadying her own uneven breathing, and said, "It is done, they are out of danger for now."

"Let's wait for them to wake up."

She had consumed too much Black Filth today, and Chaosheng was having some trouble digesting it.

Although Black Filth could help increase Chaosheng's Witch Power, it was not a good thing after all; too much of it was hard to digest and placed a burden on her body.

"Brother! Brother!"

"You're awake?"

Yazhu looked excitedly at Yake, who had slightly opened his eyes a crack, and shouted with excitement.

"Yake is awake?"

"So fast?"

But looking at Baili, who remained unconscious, Baipei said worriedly, "Why hasn't Baili woken up yet?"

"He wouldn't..."

Chaosheng shook her head, reassuring Baipei, "It's fine."

"Some Beastmen wake up fast, others wake up slow; this is all normal."
