Chapter 92: The Choice

The Choice

"I..."

"I..."

Huyang kept her head lowered, her eyes darting wildly, and she stammered, unable to get the words out.

Was she to have only Baili, this unromantic Beast Husband, as her Mate from now on?

How could that possibly work?

"No!"

"Why should I divorce them!"

Chaosheng walked over slowly, looking down at her from above; her chin had a graceful curve, and her exquisite features were vaguely blurred.

"You won't agree?"

"I won't..."

Before Huyang could finish, the vines binding her legs suddenly sprouted sharp thorns, piercing into her flesh, making her wince and grimace in pain. "Ah! My legs!"

Chaosheng crouched down slightly, tilting her head, her gaze clear and bright, the curve of her lips wicked. "If you don't agree, it will hurt even more, oh."

As her words fell, the thorns on the vines indeed pierced deeper, and this time, Huyang didn't even have the strength to cry out in pain.

All the color drained from her face, and she panted incessantly, trying to ease the intense pain. "Don't..."

"I agree, I agree..."

After saying these words, Huyang seemed to have exhausted all her strength, biting her lower lip hard to suppress the heart-piercing agony.

"Mate!"

"How could Mate agree?"

"Mate..."

The few Beastmen brought by Huyang looked at her with tears in the corners of their eyes, hoping she would change her mind.

Chaosheng watched this scene and laughed with an ambiguous meaning; her fair, delicate feet stepped onto the sandy ground, clouding the surrounding seawater, and her bright red lips parted. "How truly interesting."

"Just now, when your Mate was tied up by me, you didn't plead for her."

"When she was being hurt by my vines, you didn't feel worried for her."

"But now that she is in unbearable pain and has yielded, you finally speak up to plead for yourselves."

"Huyang." Chaosheng glanced meaningfully at Huyang, who was kneeling on the ground, and coaxed, "Your Beast Husbands don't seem to be that sincere toward you."

As soon as Chaosheng said this, the thorny vines binding Huyang's legs disappeared, and she collapsed onto the ground, covered in cold sweat, not daring to even look at her own blood-soaked legs.

She turned her head angrily to look at the few Beast Husbands she usually pampered the most. "Very well! It was in vain that I treated you so well on ordinary days; today you just watched me suffer here?"

Qinghe took the lead and knelt down; he had a thin build and a feminine face, and tears streamed down his eyes as if they were worthless. "Mate..."

"We just don't want to leave you!"

Seeing this, Huyang was indeed hesitant; this Beast Husband of hers was usually kind and weak, so it was normal for him to be unable to react in time when encountering such a situation.

Chaosheng stepped forward to stand in front of Qinghe, looking at this posturing Beastman, a trace of contempt flashing in the depths of her eyes. "Good."

"Since that is the case, you all love Huyang sincerely, right?"

"You are willing to do anything for her, aren't you?"

These Beastmen all kept their heads lowered, their sobbing sounds ceasing, and they simply did not dare to answer Chaosheng's question.

Chaosheng narrowed her eyes, the aura around her changing, and a sense of killing intent vaguely emerged.

"Hmm?"

With the Female's highly oppressive gaze landing on him, and thinking of the Female's methods just now, Qinghe couldn't help but shiver, burying his head even lower. "Yes... yes, we are willing to do anything for Mate."

"Qinghe..."

Hearing this, Huyang was moved to tears; she knew she hadn't pampered the wrong person.

Chaosheng raised her eyes slightly, her gaze flickering, and she couldn't help but chuckle. "Good, since that is the case..."

"Ah!"

Huyang's body was instantly wrapped by a thick vine, which even tightened threateningly.

"Since that is the case, then I will tell you."

"Only after you are divorced today can Huyang survive."

"Will you leave Huyang voluntarily, or watch her die right before your eyes?"

"Huyang's life and death are now in your hands; how will you choose?"

"We..." The few Male Beastmen looked at each other, looking at one another, none of them having an idea.

Qinghe suddenly raised his head, looking at her in disbelief. "You... you can't do this!"

Chaosheng leaned down slightly, her gaze closing in on him. "I can't?"

"Why can't I?"

Huyang struggled desperately, but felt the damned vines wrapping even tighter; fearing that this Mermaid might truly be ruthless enough to kill her, she shouted toward the back with all her might: "Let me live!"

"I want to survive!"

"I don't want to die!"

Chaosheng widened her eyes, which were as beautiful as amethysts, and her smile was gentle. "Hmm? Have you decided?"

The Female's smile was colder than the ice in the sea, making Qinghe shudder; he took a deep breath, as if making a major decision. "I... I am willing to leave Mate."

"Please, let Mate live!"

Chaosheng was stunned for a moment, and a deep meaning entered her eyes as she looked at this Male Beastman; she seemed to have underestimated him.

"Qinghe! What are you saying?"

"How can we leave Mate?"

"It's just..."

The few Male Beastmen behind them suddenly grew anxious; they were all Beastmen living precariously in the Polar Sea, whose daily task was to evade the pursuit of other Beastmen and large sea beasts, and they had to rely on themselves to find enough food just to survive.

But ever since they latched onto Huyang, they no longer had to worry about survival and food, and could even subsidize their own poor and dilapidated Tribe, enjoying the flattery they received.

Such days were beyond wonderful.

Qinghe knelt before Chaosheng with his head buried; hearing their words, his mouth twisted into a grimace, and a flash of ruthlessness crossed his eyes—these idiots!

If they didn't agree now, and if this Mermaid Female really killed Huyang, then not only would they lose Huyang's protection, but they would also offend the Haihu Tribe, and they would all be in deep trouble!

But if they agreed, it would be different; given Huyang's personality, she would surely be deeply moved, and even if they had to leave her later, she would compensate them well.

Besides, this was only to resolve an immediate crisis; agreeing now would not only save Huyang but also make her remember their favor.

He didn't believe this female would watch them every single moment; if their Mate really kept in contact with them, could this Mermaid Female possibly manage to stop it all?

"I will naturally make them leave our Mate."

"I beg you, don't kill our Mate."

His voice carried a heavy, sobbing tone, his appearance weak and pitiful, as if he were more miserable than the humiliated Baili.

"Fine, see that you keep your word." Chaosheng waved her hand, the vines on Huyang's body receded, and then Chaosheng looked coldly at these few Male Beastmen, "Alright, you may go."

"Since you are no longer Huyang's Beast Husbands, nor are you guests of the Jingju Tribe, you have no need to stay here."

A flash of humiliation crossed the depths of Qinghe's hidden eyes.
