CHAPTER 311: CHAPTER 302: JIN KUN WAVERS_1

"What did you say? You said Sage Si Yan saved everyone?"

"Yes, yes."

"That’s not right! How could Sage Si Yan, as wise as she is, save people in the midst of a great flood?!"

Jin Kun paused. The Sixth Sister saved people?

He decided to listen carefully.

"A bridge... it was a bridge... similar to Jin Yang’s, with lots of vines..."

"What on earth are you talking about?!"

As Jin Kun listened, he grew more and more curious about how the Sixth Sister had saved people.

However, he didn’t know if Jin Yao’s illness had healed or not.

Should I go see Jin Yao, or should I go see how the Sixth Sister saved people?

Logically, he knew he should be concerned about Yao Yao, the sister he had doted on since childhood. But for some reason, emotionally, he was extremely curious and very eager to see how the Sixth Sister had saved people.

After hesitating briefly, without another word, he followed the Beastman’s directions and headed to the outskirts of Myriad Beasts City.

The water outside had risen very high, and the small island where people had stood before was now completely engulfed by the river.

When Jin Kun arrived, he happened to see Jin Yang. He jumped next to Jin Yang and saw him examining a long string of vines.

Vines wrapped around each other, intersecting as they extended forward. The point where they were anchored was now completely submerged and invisible, yet this mass of vines remained incredibly sturdy.

"Fourth Brother, what are you looking at?" asked Jin Kun.

Jin Yang glanced at Jin Kun and then cursed.

"Damn it, I shouldn’t have watched your competition! I missed my sister’s heroic moment!"

Jin Kun was speechless.

Jin Kun then asked, "What the hell are you talking about?!"

Jin Yang scrutinized the vine bridge. "Do you know what bridge this is?"

"What bridge?"

"The Sage Bridge. That’s what they call it."

"What Sage Bridge?" The Third Brother didn’t understand.

The Fourth Brother said, "And that’s why I say you’re blind. This bridge was made by the Sixth Sister. She used this bridge to save twenty-five Beastman cubs and six elderly Beastmen. Can you believe it?"

Jin Kun was momentarily shocked. "You’re saying... the Sixth Sister saved that many Beastmen?"

The Golden Dragon Clan are naturally gentle giants, with kindhearted blood flowing through their veins.

Saving people, especially cubs and the elderly, is something the Golden Dragon Clan deeply admires and advocates for.

Jin Kun frowned. "The Sixth Sister is, after all, a Dragon Princess of the Golden Dragon Clan. It’s not surprising that she would do such a thing."

Jin Yang looked at Jin Kun as if he were a fool and patted his head. "Are you alright?"

Jin Kun brushed his hand away.

"Enough, Fourth Brother."

"Third Brother, haven’t you loved hearing heroic stories since you were little? You always loved to see people saving others, and you were always the first to rush over whenever such things happened."

"Now it’s your own sister who’s the hero, and you’re acting confused?"

Jin Yang said carelessly, "Forget it, why bother trying to persuade you? The more confused you are, the better my chances of currying favor with the Sixth Sister!"

"What nonsensical things are you saying?" Jin Kun massaged his head.

Gazing at the sturdy vines, Jin Yang saw them as a treasure unlike any other in the world. Then, he thought about his adopted sister, Jin Yao.

Pah, my mind must have snapped! Why am I thinking of that malicious female?

Jin Kun watched Jin Yang obsessively caress the vines. Frowning, Jin Kun stepped back a few paces. Then, he saw the fathers and mothers of the rescued cubs approaching, one by one, to kneel and kowtow before the vine bridge.

"Thank you, Sage Si Yan! Thank you for saving our cubs!"

"Thank you, thank you!"

Jin Kun frowned. "Why are you kneeling to a bunch of plants?"

The Beastmen ignored him and continued, "We will also go to the Delusional Tavern to kneel."

"My child, the Sage from the Delusional Domain saved you. You must not hold grudges against the Snake Beastmen anymore."

"Not all Snake Beastmen are bad people. There is a very beautiful and intelligent Sage in the Delusional Domain. Do you understand?"

Jin Kun stepped back a few more paces and then saw several Beastmen approaching with an elderly Beastman. Drenched in the rain, they knelt towards the "Sage Bridge."

"The Sage Bridge saved this old man’s life!"

"I thought I was useless, but the esteemed Sage didn’t give up on me and saved me."

"Little Qiangzi, kowtow to the Sage Bridge! Kowtow to Sage Si Yan!"

Jin Kun couldn’t help but retreat a few more steps.

Have they gone mad? These people... The Sixth Sister saved so many people, and so many families too?

At the Wan Cheng Gathering, Si Yan’s outstanding performance might not have moved Jin Kun.

But she had saved so many people. So many people were kowtowing to her, expressing their gratitude, praying for her.

A complex and fervent emotion suddenly surged in Jin Kun’s heart.

This emotion came quickly and faded just as fast.

Jin Kun felt sick to his stomach. He turned around and decided to go look for his sister Jin Yao. Perhaps seeing Jin Yao will make me feel better, he thought.

Jin Yang looked at Jin Kun, who was obviously disconcerted, his expression very complex. Once upon a time, I was just as foolish, he thought.

Jin Kun returned to the cave but didn’t see Jin Yao inside, so he shouted, "Yao Yao! Yao Yao!"

Jin Yao ran out. "Third Brother!"

As she spoke, Jin Yao clung to Jin Kun’s waist.

Jin Kun frowned slightly, feeling a trace of discomfort.

He gently pushed Jin Yao away, exclaiming with surprise, "Yao Yao, is your stomach better?"

Speaking of her stomach, Jin Yao fumed internally. That damned Si Yan! She drugged me without giving me an antidote, making me pay such a huge price to resolve this. That person said treating this voodoo poison consumed a lot of luck, which urgently needed replenishing. I need to hurry and collect luck from these Jin Family males now!

Jin Yao looked pitifully at Jin Kun. "I don’t know what happened; it just suddenly got better. Third Brother, I heard we won. You’re amazing!"

Flattered by Jin Yao’s compliments, Jin Kun swaggered. "Just my usual standard."

Jin Yao wrapped her arms around his. Jin Kun’s slight discomfort flashed by and was quickly disregarded. He was in a decent enough mood to be led away by Jin Yao.

After all, the Sixth Sister is a Dragon Princess with Golden Dragon blood; being kind-hearted and willing to save people is to be expected of her. On the other hand, Yao Yao, even as an earth dragon, is still naive, cute, tender, and kind-hearted. That is what’s truly rare.

Outside the cave, Jin Ting finished packing his belongings and glanced at Jin Kun inside. Third Brother has always dreamed of being a hero since he was young; he especially admires saviors. The Sixth Sister saved more than thirty Beastmen, all of them strangers to her. Knowing this, Third Brother seems a bit shaken. With just one more nudge, perhaps he’ll come to his senses.

「Delusional Tavern」

The Beastmen wore excited smiles as they returned one after another in the heavy rain.

The males were enthusiastically discussing the grand competition, and even the four little snake cubs had put down their leaves and were chatting excitedly.

Bei Ji suddenly said, "How come it’s you?"

All four little ones looked towards a corner of the tavern.

In the corner, little Bi Yao sat hugging his knees, ignoring everyone.

Nan Mo ran over to him, excited. "How come you’re at our place?"

Xi Qing asked, "Are you willing to be friends with us now?"

Dongchi brought some sweet potato chips and water from the side. "Hey, kid, want some?"

Little Bi Yao was indeed hungry. He hesitated for a moment but then took the water and food from Dongchi’s hand.

He took out a sweet potato chip, looked at the cubs, and after they assured him it was alright, he bit into it.

Then, his eyes lit up. He immediately grabbed another piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
