CHAPTER 214: CHAPTER 205 JIE LING ENCOUNTERS MISFORTUNE_1

By the lakeside forest in Myriad Beasts City, a cold-blooded serpent beastman stood, emanating an icy aura. The serpent beastman was wrapped in desolation and solitude, his entire presence so oppressively low it was terrifying. She Chuan, Dongchi, and Nan Mo were present, yet no one dared to disturb him. He moved silently a couple of times before vanishing in a flicker before the three serpent beastmen.

She Chuan took a few steps to follow. "Lord... this, Lord..."

He glanced at Dongchi and Nan Mo. Is he not going to care for the cubs anymore?

Dongchi and Nan Mo, however, were accustomed to their Lord’s detached ways. The Lord came and went like a phantom; they couldn’t keep up.

She Chuan crouched down, speaking gently, "Dongchi, Nan Mo, Lord Wang has gone to take care of some business. Come with me."

「At the foot of Divine Mountain,」

Ying Zhao, fully satisfied in body and mind, walked over to Ming Yan with a grin. "You, why don’t you come and experience it too?"

The cluster of flames in Ming Yan’s hands ignited.

"Not interested."

Ying Zhao sneered, "You’re really no fun."

Ming Yan wasn’t yet part of their group, so Ying Zhao didn’t say much more.

After gathering their belongings, they prepared to set off again. Naturally, the delicate fox-female wouldn’t have to walk.

Shi He transformed into his beast form, and Jie Ling settled on his back. She was the embodiment of seduction, full of allure.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew across the sky.

Shi He, carrying his Mistress, backed away cautiously, while Yuan Dingshan and Ying Zhao quickly moved to the front.

Ming Yan looked around with his dark, indifferent eyes.

WHOOSH! Jie Ling looked to the left just as Shi He’s tail lashed out fiercely!

But it was too late to block.

Jie Ling was sent flying to the ground! She rolled several times before crashing hard against a tree.

The delicate female, seemingly boneless, cried out in frustration, "Who’s there?!"

At that moment, a serpent beastman with a tall stature, filled with bitterness and repressed anger, strode out.

And just as he appeared, Jie Ling exclaimed in shock, "Lord She Wang?!"

Ming Yan slowly looked over.

A Purple Crystal serpent beastman, just like that, facing off against a Golden Crystal Beastman and three Purple Crystal beastmen? Had he gone mad?

While Ming Yan was thinking this, the serpent beastman turned his head to glance at Ming Yan, and Ming Yan’s dark pupils suddenly widened!

In that instant, their auras clashed as their gazes met.

He actually saw intense hostility in the eyes of the serpent beastman before him!

Yet this moment of eye contact quickly shifted away.

Flicking his forked tongue, the serpent beastman’s menace was barely concealed. "Why are you here?"

He vaguely sensed Si Yan’s scent on that golden lion, Shi He.

"Where is Si Yan?" he asked coldly.

Yuan Dingshan helped Jie Ling to her feet, while the flirtatious fox’s eyes gleamed as they looked towards She Wang.

She had a fondness for strong males; the stronger they were, the more she liked them.

Lord She Wang... She liked him very much!

Even though he had hit her just now, she could temporarily overlook it.

Jie Ling brushed the dust off her body but left her disheveled beastskin skirt as it was, exposing her body intentionally or otherwise. She took a few steps forward, feigning shyness.

"Lord, you’ve hurt me," she said with a pout.

Shi He, the Golden Crystal Beastman, frowned slightly in displeasure.

"Jie Ling," he said, "he’s just a Purple Crystal serpent beastman, and he already has a Mistress. Do you really want such a male?"

Jie Ling waved her hand dismissively, annoyed by Shi He’s interference.

So what if he has a Mistress? She was backed by the heavens, after all. Just erase his mate’s mark and establish her own; that would do. Such an outstanding male, it was hard not to be attracted to him.

The serpent beastman flicked his tongue. Cold and haughty, he hissed, "Scram."

Jie Ling approached She Wang, her body half-exposed.

"Lord, I quite like you. Truly," she cooed. "Please don’t make me hurt like this."

She Wang watched the female before him coldly, his mind filled only with images of Si Yan.

A wave of rage rose from the depths of his heart.

He reached out and grasped Jie Ling’s throat.

Shi He and the other Purple Crystal Beastmen were startled. "What are you doing?!"

Bloodshot veins spread in She Wang’s eyes; his forked tongue flicked, horrifying and icy.

"Don’t try to seduce me with your clumsy methods!"

"Where is Si Yan?!!!"

Jie Ling’s neck was being squeezed, a suffocating sensation creeping in. Anger swelled in her heart.

Why? On what grounds? Why am I not as good as Si Yan?

"Why won’t you look at me? Am I not prettier than Si Yan?" She seethed, refusing to accept it.

"You think you’re worthy to compare to her?" She Wang’s eyes were bloodshot, as if he would snap her neck the very next second.

Shi He roared and swiped a claw at him. Only then did She Wang toss Jie Ling aside.

Jie Ling coughed violently.

Yuan Dingshan ran over and said, "Mistress, this serpent beastman... you should give up on him."

Jie Ling, her cheeks flushed with anger, retorted, "Why should I give up? Any male I set my sights on will be mine!"

In the midst of the chaos, only Ming Yan remained calm. He looked up and asked, "Why do you think we’ve met Si Yan?"

She Wang’s cool gaze shifted from Ming Yan to Shi He. "You carry her scent. What did you do to her?"

Shi He suddenly laughed.

"I didn’t do much. She was all alone and pitiful. I accidentally bumped into her while passing by."

"That female was heavily pregnant; I believe she fell flat on her stomach. I’m a bit rough and don’t know my own strength. She’s probably not doing too great now."

Jie Ling hadn’t known about this incident. Upon hearing it, her heart leaped with joy, but she suppressed her schadenfreude and said, "Lord, Shi He didn’t do this on my orders. I had no idea."

She Wang’s pupils trembled slightly. He recalled the vision he’d seen when his mate cried out for help.

She was bumped by a Golden Crystal Beastman? Fell on her stomach?

Tension gripped his body, and he suddenly panicked.

He turned to leave.

But at that moment, Shi He blocked his path.

"You think you can come and go as you please? You hurt our Mistress! Do you think you can leave without giving us an explanation?!"
