288: Chapter 289: Keli
Once Keli confird that Yali was just drained from using his superpower, he let out a slight sigh of relief.
He then turned his attention to Bai Zheng.
As soon as he saw Bai Zheng, his brow furrowed.
Because Bai Zheng was an utter ss!
His once flaxen robe was caked with mud and soot, torn to shreds by tree branches.
It barely hung on him, serving more as a loincloth than anything else.
The mud on his face had dried and whitened, making it difficult to discern his real appearance.
But it was exactly as the Beast Soldiers’ squad leader had said, the Beastman was dressed in tattered linen.
The idea of him claiming to be Bai Zheng was completely absurd!
Who was Bai Zheng?!
Bai Zheng was the cherished and highly-valued cub of the kingdom’s ruler.
Despite his young age, he was already a Level 2 Divine Brave Warrior!
He was expected to succeed the throne.
The idea of him appearing alone in the Wilderness was nothing short of a joke!
So Keli didn’t believe for a second that this Beastman was Bai Zheng.
The reason he ca at all was because the squad leader ntioned the Beastman was dressed in linen!
No matter who this Beastman was, the fact that he was wearing so much linen suggested he was of significant status.
Therefore, Keli suppressed his anger and asked in a quiet voice, “Who are you?
Why did you use your superpowers on my cub?
You seem to have co from the Wilderness.
If you are a Divine Brave Warrior, then speak up.
We won’t stop you from staying in Upper Beast City.”
Bai Zheng’s face turned grim.
He snapped, “I am the young master of the Ten Thousands Beast Country, Bai Zheng.
I was commanded by the king to handle a task in the Wilderness, but sothing unexpected happened, and all my Beast Soldiers have gone to et the Beast God!
Keli, I want you to lead your Beast Soldiers to escort
back to the kingdom!
Once I am back, I will make sure my father rewards you heavily!”
Keli was already blinded by his own assumptions.
He believed it was impossible for Bai Zheng to be here.
Thus, he was irritated with the Beastman’s nonsensical babblings!
“You still dare to quibble!
If you think dressing in linen gives you the right to claim to be Bai Zheng, it’s fortunate for you that I am listening to you, Divine Brave Warrior.
But if you don’t start telling the truth, don’t think Upper Beast City can be easily bullied!”
Hearing Keli’s words, Bai Zheng was livid.
“You dare to not recognize if I am Bai Zheng!?
Is it because you don’t want to or aren’t willing to recognize?
Keli, what are your intentions?
Or do you have a sche for the kingdom?
Once I return to the kingdom, I will inform my father and he will wipe out your Upper Beast City!”
Fengyin couldn’t help but rub his forehead.
Was there sothing wrong this young master’s brain?
As expected, Keli was furious!
“How dare you!
Threatening the city master!
And you have the cheek to impersonate Bai Zheng, the young master of the kingdom?
Guards!
Take this deranged Beastman out of here and beat him to death!”
Bai Zheng was seething with anger!
“Keli!
You dare!”
Their tempers clashed!
Fengyin saw an opportunity to step in, moving forward two steps.
He put his clenched right fist over his chest—a universal gesture of respect in the Beast World—and said to Keli: “Respectful city master, have you seen young master Bai Zheng before?
He might not be recognizable now due to dirt covering his face.
Is this why you couldn’t recognize him?”
Keli glared at Fengyin irritably, “And who are you?
Is this your place to speak?”
At Fengyin’s reminder, Bai Zheng also realized how disheveled he looked now!
He was a far cry from how he looked in the kingdom, so his not being recognized imdiately could be understood!
The anger in his heart eased slightly.
