CHAPTER 415: CHAPTER 406 SHE YI CAPTURED, YAN YAN GETS ANGRY_1

Hu Hua cast a disdainful glance at Si Yan and her retreating companions, snorting coldly. She ignored her own twenty-seven cubs and turned to leave.

She had never liked Serpent Beastmen. Mating with one had been arranged by her tribe. Since she didn’t lose out either way, she had taken a Serpent Beastman as her Beast Husband.

Initially, she used She Zhao only to extract information from the Serpent Beastmen, but unexpectedly, the Fox Clan lost in the end. She had never expected to remain in the Delusional Domain by relying on She Zhao, much less bear his offspring.

Heaven knows how much she detested this brood of Serpent Beastman cubs.

The twenty-seven little grass snake cubs all peeked their heads out to look at their mother, each appearing both cute and comical. Sadly, they could only watch her retreating figure as she left without hesitation.

Hu Hua avoided the Serpent Beastmen of the Delusional Domain and went to a spot on the outskirts of the central area.

Soon after, quite a few Fox Beastmen appeared. Besides her several Beast Husbands, Hu Ling and her Beast Husbands were also there.

Hu Ling, with a displeased expression, said, "Hu Hua, why did you call me here now? What if we’re discovered?"

Their Fox Clan had lived in the Delusional Domain for some time. They had become familiar with the terrain and knew some trails and secret tunnels to avoid the Serpent Beastmen.

Hu Hua smiled excitedly. "Sister, the Lord has left, but Si Yan is still here."

"She Wang has left?" Hu Ling’s eyes suddenly lit up. "Really?"

"Absolutely certain," replied Hu Hua. "Without the Lord, Si Yan is just an ordinary female."

Hu Ling also smiled. "In that case, it’s time to settle both the grudge from Dark Sun Lake and the grudge of being driven out of the Delusional Domain." Si Yan, it would be so much better if you weren’t here. If you weren’t, Wang would definitely like me. I would be the noble Lady of the Lord! Don’t blame me; blame yourself for taking what you shouldn’t have.

Hu Hua said, "Sister, there are many Serpent Beastmen in the Delusional Domain. It won’t be easy to plot against Si Yan."

Hu Ling looked at Hu Hua. "Find a way to lure Si Yan’s cubs out."

Hu Hua quickly shook her head. "You don’t understand. Si Yan’s cubs have all become Red Crystal Beastmen. I can’t handle them."

Hu Ling said angrily, "The Serpent Beastmen respect Lord She Wang because he fought his way to his position. They all fear him, and that’s why they obey him."

"Now that he’s not here, Si Yan is just an ordinary female. Serpent Beastmen are all selfish and treacherous creatures; they won’t care about her!"

Hu Hua shook her head, thinking Hu Ling’s plan was too simplistic, but she didn’t want to contradict her. So, she said, "There are always people around Si Yan. It’s still too difficult to deal with her directly. Let’s find another way."

Hu Ling paced back and forth, then asked, "Is there anyone who isn’t too strong or conspicuous but can still influence Si Yan?"

Hu Hua responded, "I remember Si Yan promoted a young Serpent Beastman today. He looks to be in his teens. I think his name is... She Yi."

Hu Ling frowned and said, "Him, then. Tie him up and bring him here. At least it will allow the Fox Clan to vent some of their anger."

Hu Hua replied, "Okay."

「...」

She Zhao returned to the cave with another kill, finding all twenty-seven cubs waiting obediently inside.

He felt a surge of happiness and contentment, smiling cheerfully. "Good cubs."

After praising them, he counted them one by one to ensure all twenty-seven were present.

The Serpent Beastman cubs poked out their snake heads, emerging one after another, hissing softly.

She Zhao didn’t mind. He even thought Hu Hua was very diligent in caring for the children, which softened his heart further. His Mistress was truly wonderful. Really, really wonderful.

Hu Hua returned to the cave impatiently.

She disliked Serpent Beastmen and felt disgusted at the sight of She Zhao and the cubs.

She Zhao, thinking Hu Hua was in a bad mood because she was tired from looking after the cubs, immediately greeted her with a beaming smile. "Mistress, you’ve worked hard with the children today."

Hu Hua glanced at the cubs. Indeed, no matter where she abandoned those twenty-seven cubs, they always managed to find their way back. Serpent Beastman cubs are deeply attached to their mothers. No matter how poorly she treated them, these twenty-seven cubs were very attached to her and wouldn’t complain to their beastman father.

She didn’t want any Serpent Beastman cubs at all; Serpent Beastmen were incredibly annoying.

「...」

Si Yan was bathing the cubs in the cave. She had specifically asked Tai Seng to prepare a very large basin so they could all bathe together.

The cubs played in the water while bathing, clearly having a blast.

Especially the little purple dragon cub, who, being small, swam around and pestered his older brothers. Laughter and commotion filled the cave, almost turning it upside down.

As for the little Golden Dragon cub, she was a girl. Beastmen seemed to be born with higher intelligence, so Si Yan always bathed her separately from her brothers.

After their bath, Si Yan put the cubs to bed.

The cubs adored their mother. They found it especially easy to sleep when close to her. They romped around on her for a little while and soon fell asleep, sprawled out in all directions.

Si Yan slowly opened her eyes. When She Wang wasn’t around before, she hadn’t found it tiring to look after the four little ones on her own. But now, she had gotten used to She Wang’s presence, and his absence made her truly wish he was there. It felt unfamiliar.

Si Yan turned over.

Her mind buzzed with a sorrowful sound, seemingly emanating from deep underground. It didn’t sound like a Beastman’s cry but rather a plea for help. This sound had persisted for some time since she became the Beast God. Si Yan, thinking it was just tinnitus, had ignored it.

She closed her eyes, preparing to sleep, when suddenly, the sound of rapid breathing filled her mind. Si Yan’s eyes snapped open, her black pupils shimmering with golden light.

Then, she heard it more clearly.

"Beast God protect me... They mustn’t be allowed to use me to threaten the Lady of the Lord."

She instantly recognized the voice’s owner.

Si Yan’s expression suddenly turned ice-cold.

「...」

She Yi was covered in wounds and drenched in blood. The most severe injury was on his abdomen, a gash so deep the bone was visible.

Given the medical conditions in the Beast World, his chances of survival were slim.

She Yi gasped for breath, looking at the ten or so shameless Fox Beastmen before him. Hu Ling and Hu Hua were each mounted on the back of a Fox Beastman, their eyes glinting with indescribable pleasure.

"Kill him! I want to see how Si Yan reacts after he’s dead!"

Hu Hua also laughed heartily. "Sister, if that little bitch Si Yan isn’t upset, we’ll have the perfect opportunity to expose her hypocritical charade. But if Si Yan is genuinely saddened by this Serpent Beastman’s death, it will be even more delightful for us!"

She Yi trembled slightly. "Your Fox Clan was once on the brink of extinction, homeless, and it was us Serpent Beastmen who took you in. Yet you repay kindness with treachery! You not only want to seize our Serpent Beastmen’s lands but also to ensnare and kill us. You are truly a pack of ungrateful curs, far more vicious than us Serpent Beastmen!"

Hu Ling retorted angrily, "Who do you think you are to insult us?"

A male Fox Beastman lashed out with his claws, adding another fresh wound to She Yi’s body.

Hu Ling’s expression suddenly changed, and she smiled. "How about this: insult Si Yan just like you insulted the Fox Clan. If you insult her well enough to satisfy us, I’ll let you go. What do you say?"

She Yi curled his lip. "Alright."

Hu Ling smiled. "Go on, curse her. I’m listening."

She Yi looked at Hu Ling. "Our Lady of the Lord... the Lady of the Lord is truly so beautiful, like a goddess descended to earth. As for you Fox Clan females, you’re hideous—weak, stupid, and so ugly it makes one want to puke!"

Pointing at She Yi, Hu Ling ordered furiously, "Slap his mouth! Hit him! If he still refuses to curse Si Yan, beat him to death!"
