Chapter 90: Sai Fulola 06

These males are also too brutal; she looked at Bao Jing, Yi Yang, and Ji Jiangci with some worry, worried they might have psychological trauma.

But to her surprise, the three seemed completely unaffected; they even seemed a bit happy—what was going on?

Even Qiu Yi didn't show much expression.

"Bao Jing?"

Ye Xi'an was held in Bao Jing's arms, her soft white face resting against his chest, and from above came his low, short "Huh?"

That sound traveled through his chest, carrying a slight vibration to her cheeks, as if even his heartbeat followed that soft response.

Seeing Ye Xi'an silent, Bao Jing lowered his head, only able to see her fluffy crown and curled lashes: "What's wrong?"

Ye Xi'an's pupils twitched slightly: "Don't you think Song Bai died horribly?"

"Kind of, but his death wasn't unjust—who let him bully you." Bao Jing didn't think it was strange at all to die over a complaint; such things happen all the time on Zhu Shen Xing.

Ye Xi'an's face showed a bewildered expression—no, is this the pair?

"An An, hold tight to me, we're going down."

Bao Jing reminded her, and Ye Xi'an gathered her thoughts, tightly wrapping her arms around his neck.

Feeling the force on his neck, Bao Jing's mouth curled up slightly; his good mood couldn't be hidden.

He also tightened his grip, lifting the arm crossed under Ye Xi'an's knees, almost pressing her into his body.

The scattered few eventually gathered at the spot where they had just seen Qiu Yi.

There were also several unfamiliar males there.

Qiu Yi showed no effect from Song Bai's death on her mood, enthusiastically introducing Ye Xi'an to her several husbands: "These three are Xiao Shan, Ye Li, and Fu Tu."

She pulled over the one wearing a black Zhongshan suit: "This is Hei Yao."

Xiao Shan, Ye Li, and Fu Tu were using their abilities to restrain the mutant vines; Wu Xia came over to greet Ye Xi'an, merely turning slightly to show friendliness, then continued with their own work.

Xiao Shan controlled underground metal to form chains, Ye Li used clay to build a rock wall around the vines, and Fu Tu manipulated fire to help the two restrain the vines.

Ye Li suddenly sensed something off, turned back and glanced again: "Where's Song Bai?"

Ye Xi'an startled, still feeling that Song Bai's death was related to her, so when asked, she felt panicked.

"Dead." Qiu Yi showed no hesitation, as if the one who died was merely an unrelated beastman.

Ye Li's eyes flashed; the other two also paused for a second, then immediately accepted it, and apologized to Ye Xi'an: "He surely offended you, I'll say sorry on his behalf."

They had long thought Song Bai's constant defiance would eventually cause trouble; disbelief aside, now it's true—he really died.

Ye Xi'an:?????

Just like that? Their partner died, yet they still have to apologize to her?

Qiu Yi walked over amused, pinching Ye Xi'an's cheek again: "Are you from Zhu Shen Xing?"

"It's just a male dying; what expression."

Just a moment ago, Ye Xi'an felt her heart about to jump out, thinking she'd been discovered as not being from Zhu Shen Xing.

She hesitated before speaking: "Why do you think I'm not from Zhu Shen Xing?"

"No need to explain; on Zhu Shen Xing, females are respected, males are lowly. If a male offends you and I agree, he dies—dead. But look at your expression; to the unaware, it seems as if your husband died."

Qiu Yi lowered her gaze, looking intently at Ye Xi'an: "No one would feel sorrow for another clan's male, unless"

Ye Xi'an's breath hitched, her fingertips nervously rubbing the hem of her clothes: "Unless what?"

"Unless you've taken a liking to him."

Ye Xi'an: scared her to death.
