CHAPTER 418: CHAPTER 409: THE LADY MISSES THE LORD_1

When She Yi told Si Yan about Hu Hua’s fate, Si Yan was slightly stunned for a moment. Before sending Hu Hua to She Zhao, she had used hypnosis to suggest that Hu Hua speak the truth. She hadn’t expected such an outcome. She felt no pity for Hu Hua’s end, but the fate of She Zhao, and their now-orphaned cubs, made Si Yan fall silent.

Si Yan pressed down the two small dragon heads that occasionally popped up on her own head and instructed, "She Chuan, arrange for an orphanage for snake Beastmen and gather these orphans there. Remember to select kind and gentle snake Beastmen for this task. Ensure they lack neither food nor proper upbringing."

"It’s not just for She Zhao’s cubs; other homeless snake Beastman cubs can be cared for together as well."

She Chuan immediately responded, "Yes, Lady of the Lord."

Si Yan looked at She Yi. "Little friend, are you interested in visiting the snake Beastmen’s heritage site in the Delusional Domain?"

The Delusional Domain’s snake Beastman heritage site could only admit ten snake Beastmen at a time. Anyone who wished to go had to compete for a spot. He hadn’t expected the Lady of the Lord to offer him such an opportunity directly. She Yi was so excited he was at a loss for words.

"I want to go, Bi-Big Brother," he stammered.

Si Yan looked at him, puzzled.

She Ying promptly rapped him on the head. "What are you calling the Lady of the Lord?"

"Big Brother... Ah. N-No... Is that not okay?" She Yi asked nervously.

She Ying scoffed, "What a ridiculous way to address her!"

Si Yan chuckled. "You may call me that."

"Lady of the Lord," She Chuan said, "there is one more matter to report."

"Hmm, go on."

"Our snake Beastmen have located the Fox Clan’s resting place outside the Delusional Domain." She Chuan paused, his voice grave. "We’ve discovered some truly vile things."

She Ying added, "The fox Beastmen kidnapped seven or eight females and tortured them until they were witless to make them compliant."

Si Yan’s expression turned icy in an instant.

She Chuan continued, "The male Fox Clan members mate with these females daily, solely to make them give birth to fox offspring."

A chilling aura emanated from Si Yan. "I thought Hu Ling said those things just because she was targeting me. It turns out, this monster has already done such inhuman things."

"Reducing females to mere birthing tools. How dare they?"

The Lady of the Lord’s aura suddenly became so terrifying that She Ying, She Chuan, and She Yi didn’t dare breathe a word.

Si Yan instructed, "She Ying, She Chuan, you will handle this. Eliminate all Fox Beastmen involved. Bring the victimized females to me; I will treat them."

"Yes!" She Ying and She Chuan replied in unison.

She Ying nudged She Chuan. "Don’t you think the Lady of the Lord seems distracted?"

She Chuan shot She Ying a sidelong glance. "It’s rare for you to notice the Lady of the Lord is distracted. It’s quite obvious; she’s missing the Lord."

She Yi lowered his head. He only knew of the relationship between the Lady of the Lord and the Lord through hearsay and didn’t fully understand it, so he listened intently to She Ying and She Chuan’s hushed conversation.

She Ying sighed. "If the Master knew how much the Lady misses him, he’d likely be heartbroken."

She Chuan said, "I need to get started on the orphanage. You hurry up and deal with the Fox Beastmen Tribe. Ah, I wonder if the Lord even knows the Lady is thinking of him."

Suddenly, the totem on Si Yan’s body lit up. She felt a slight numbness in her heart, followed by a surge of warmth. Then, she distinctly heard a prayer from afar:

"O Beast God, please bless my beloved Si Yan, that she may enjoy her fish today."

For a moment, everything around her seemed to fall silent. Si Yan was utterly astonished. Looking around, she finally realized this prayer was from Wang.

He, a villainous Great Demon King, now had faith in the Beast God as well.

Her totem, though not physically over her heart, suddenly grew hot, radiating the same warmth as her heart. This warmth seemed to tell her that he, like her, longed for her greatly.

Si Yan looked up towards the cave entrance.

Forty-nine days. He must succeed. She was both worried about Wang and yet believed in him.

"Mommy!" The cubs scampered over, surrounding her.

Si Yan started a fire, smiling at them. "Mommy feels like eating fish. Can my cubs catch one for me?"

The four little ones were thrilled and eager.

Bei Ji announced, "We’ll go right now, Mommy! It’ll be quick; you won’t have to wait long!"

The four little ones had already mastered many fishing techniques and no longer bothered with small fish. By the time Si Yan had the fire roaring and the pot set up, the four little ones had returned, dragging a fish easily as large as they were.

Successful hunting always brought joy.

Si Yan came over, held up a purple snake scale, and gestured. "Today, Mommy will make you chopped chili fish head, crispy rice-flour fish, sashimi, and fish soup."

The four little ones exclaimed excitedly, "Mommy, we’ll help!"

Si Yan smiled. "Dongchi, start cooking the rice."

"Okay!" Dongchi agreed.

She Ying, leading the Delusional Domain’s snake Beastmen, precisely located the Fox Beastmen lurking on the outskirts of the Delusional Domain. The Fox Beastmen were still gathered in circles, feasting voraciously on meat.

"I heard there’s a tavern in Myriad Beasts City. I’d love to go buy some wine and try it."

"Once we Fox Beastmen reclaim the lands of the Delusional Domain, we’ll use the snake Beastmen’s Insect Crystals to swagger into Myriad Beasts City for drinks!"

"Besides, snake Beastmen don’t have a good reputation. If we exterminate all the snake Beastmen, the other Beastmen might even thank us."

"Exactly! They’re just a bunch of lowly snake Beastmen. Why should they occupy such vast territory!"

Another group of Fox Beastmen was also chatting.

"Miss Hu Ling said she’ll bring back a beautiful female this time. Then, those of us who haven’t claimed a female yet will all be able to have offspring."

"I just want one litter, just one. Ah, I really want cubs. Miss Hu Ling is so kind, even distributing females to us."

"Several females are already detained in the tribe, all traded from other tribes. Hu Zheng has already gotten a female pregnant for him. I’m so envious."

"No need to be envious; everyone will get their chance. Once our Fox Beastmen population grows, we won’t be weaker than the snake Beastmen, let alone the Four Main Cities!"

"The Clan Leader and Miss Hu Ling are right. Our top priority is to increase the Fox Beastmen’s population!"

She Ying, the Purple Crystal snake Beastman, suddenly appeared before this group of Fox Beastmen. "Increasing your population this way? You’re even more despicable than snake Beastmen."

"Oh, wait, you’re the despicable ones. We snake Beastmen listen to our Lord and Lady; we’re nothing like you."

The Fox Beastmen immediately scrambled to their feet, forming a defensive group and baring their fangs and claws at She Ying. "She Ying? What are you trying to do?"

She Ying’s face was grim and emotionless as he said coldly, "Our Lady has decreed that with the apocalypse approaching, the Beast World must first be purged. We will not spare a single one of you degenerates who turn females into breeding tools!"

Only then did the Fox Beastmen see the large group of snake Beastmen standing behind She Ying.

A tribal war!

She Ying’s face remained grimly expressionless, but his voice was savage: "Tear them to shreds!"
