"Why?"
He found a nearby stone stool and sat down in front of her, crossing his long legs. Chi Li tilted his head, propped his chin on his hand, and looked at her in confusion. "That eagle is powerful and holds a lot of sway in the city. As long as you let him see your beauty, he’ll follow you with undying devotion."
As Chi Li tilted his head, the fiery red fox ears on his head twitched slightly.
"I don’t like him, I don’t want him, and there’s no particular reason why." She could barely handle the snake she had at ho; if she brought an Eagle Beast into the mix, they’d probably tear the roof off.
Besides, the eagle had kidnapped her like a common bandit. She didn’t have a shred of goodwill toward him.
"..."
Chi Li’s gaze lingered on her face for a mont. Seeing her clear disgust and resistance, he dropped his playful deanor and said seriously, "Alright then. I’ll help you."
Outside the Stone Castle, Song Yi had found a quiet, secluded spot and was giving Song Ke a sound beating. In a tone of utter disappointnt, he said, "One wasn’t enough for you? You had to go and grab another one? What the hell are you trying to do?"
"Brother, go easy on ! I don’t care! I can’t let that female go!"
"Say that to one more ti."
The cold, deep tone sent a shiver down Song Ke’s spine, and his body trembled.
He had always known his brother was a cold and ruthless person, but despite being beaten up by him since they were kids, this was the first ti Song Yi had ever hit him so hard. "I was wrong! I’ll let her go! Don’t you just want to not keep two females at the sa ti? Is it okay if I let one of them go?!"
Song Ke shielded his one unblemished, handso face with both hands. His body was covered in black and blue bruises, a truly pitiful sight. "I really want to find a mate this ti! Really, I’m not lying to you! I’ll definitely let one go, but I have to keep the other one!"
"..."
Song Yi felt that Song Ke still hadn’t been beaten to his senses and was about to offer so more "brotherly love," but then he saw two figures erge from a doorway in the distance.
He quickly withdrew his hand, not wanting to leave a violent impression on the female.
Song Ke, however, was suddenly energized, so excited he almost shifted into his beast form and flew right up to the female.
He turned to Chi Li and asked, "Can her face be cured?!"
Seeing the Eagle Beast staring so intently at the female beside him, Chi Li felt a sudden wave of disgust, and his tone grew even colder. "It can’t be cured. It’s hopeless. Get rid of her."
Song Ke looked at the two of them in shock, his face a mask of heartbreak.
He really, really liked the scent of this little female...
Song Yi also looked at the fox in mild astonishnt and pursed his lips. But Chi Li continued in that sa chilly tone, "The poison on her face is incurable. It also spreads extrely fast."
"In a few more days, her entire face might be covered in black spots."
"..." Song Yi subconsciously glanced at Song Ke, who stood beside him looking shocked and miserable.
Song Ke staggered back a few steps. As the only Beastman present who was completely in the dark, he clutched his chest helplessly, as if he had suffered a massive blow. "A-Are you lying to ?"
"Are you questioning ?"
Chi Li gave him a look that said, ’Believe it or not, I don’t give a damn.’ He sized him up from head to toe, then, adopting the professional air of a Witch Doctor, stated blankly, "Not only that, but this poison might be contagious."
"The longer you have close contact with her, the more likely you are to be infected."
The color drained from Song Ke’s face. Heedless of the others present, he frantically checked himself over from head to toe. Only after confirming he wasn’t infected did he breathe a sigh of relief.
He nervously backed away several more steps, putting more distance between himself and An Jin than ever before.
"Brother, take her away! I don’t want her anymore!"
Song Ke had been agonizing for ages over who to choose. Lin Xixue was beautiful, but she didn’t quite reach the level of subli beauty he had imagined, and he wasn’t particularly fond of her scent.
This female, on the other hand, had a rich and enchanting fragrance. If it weren’t for that face...
Never mind, never mind. Better to get her away from him as soon as possible. He had no desire to catch such an ugly disease.
He must have been blind. "Brother, hurry up and take her away! I-I’m going hunting! Don’t bother looking for !"
Song Yi shot his foolish little brother a complicated look, his thin lips pursed. "You made your choice," he said lightly.
Song Ke faltered, completely bewildered, but still insisted sternly, "Of course I made my own choice! And I regret it to death now! Brother, I really should have listened to you and settled down."
"Just get her away from ! I don’t want to see her ever again!"
After roaring his last words, he transford into a Golden Eagle, flapped his wings, and vanished over the horizon.
Standing at a fourth-floor window and witnessing all of this, Lin Xixue was as proud and smug as a victorious rooster.
Hmph! ’As if so ugly native female could ever hope to compete with . She wishes.’
