CHAPTER 406: CHAPTER 397 THEY DIDN’T LEAVE?_1

After deciding on their place to stay, Lang Rong swaggered around the area.

The snake beastmen were in a tough spot. It was said that the mistress had lived in the Yanxiang Tribe for a considerable amount of time. Given the tribe’s special status, the snake beastmen couldn’t just openly confront them. They could only follow these wolf beastmen around.

As Lang Rong was about to wander near the fields sown by the mistress, a young snake beastman, She Yi, stepped forward to stop her. "This is the mistress’s field, you can’t go in!"

Lang Rong pointed at herself and said, "Look at who I am, I’m Tai Seng’s own mother! Do you know who Tai Seng is? Tai Seng is one of only two males in your mistress’s family. Do you get it now? You’re stopping me?"

She Yi was in a difficult position but still blocked her way. "But this is a field of Snake Fruit that the mistress planted by hand for her cubs. No one but the mistress can go in!"

Lang Rong puffed out her chest, arrogantly saying, "I’m just going to take a look, I won’t do anything."

She Yi insisted, "You can’t, you’re not allowed in!"

Becoming irritated after being repeatedly blocked, Lang Rong said angrily, "It’s just Snake Fruit, isn’t it? If you won’t let me in, then fine. What’s so great about it!"

After saying this, Lang Rong left, displeased. The snake beastmen all breathed a sigh of relief and continued to keep a close watch on the people of the Yanxiang Tribe.

After returning to the land occupied by the Yanxiang Tribe, Lang Rong looked over the land with its hills and water and liked it more and more. Then she glanced in the direction of the Snake Fruit garden.

Her expression immediately fell. Snake Fruit, that despicable fruit loved by the lowly snake beastmen. It had nothing to do with us wolf beastmen. The snake beastmen are sinister, evil, and lowly, nowhere near as good as us wolf beastmen. That Si Yan, to think she only recognized snake beastmen as Beast Husbands, and her son could only be a Guardian Beast?! What exactly is my son Tai Seng doing? Why hasn’t he become Si Yan’s Zheng Xiong yet? If Tai Seng became the Zheng Xiong, perhaps our grey wolf beastmen could even take over the Delusional Domain with Si Yan’s help! By then, this vast expanse of land would be ours.

「...」

Si Yan returned to the cave and saw the closed entrance, knowing that Wàng’s shedding had not yet finished. When he was still a Purple Crystal snake beastman, he shed in the Dragon Cave, and it took him a full day and night. Now he was a Jin Jing snake beastman. I wonder how long it will take.

Si Yan just glanced once and quickly turned around, then took her four cubs and set to work on arranging the Formation. The cubs busily followed her around, running about happily.

After the Formation was completed, Si Yan began to check on the cubs’ cultivations. Thanks to the empowerment from her ascension to divinity, the cubs’ strength had also significantly increased. Dongchi, Nan Mo, Xi Qing, and Bei Ji had all evolved into Red Crystal snake beastmen. They had a solid foundation and possessed their own Special Abilities. Now they could move through the Beast World with a certain power to protect themselves.

Little Dongchi ran over to Si Yan. The natural aura of dominance from his jujube-red skin and silver-white hair was completely hidden in her presence, leaving only his cuteness. Little Dongchi lifted his head, his watery crimson eyes looking up at Si Yan. "Mother, I heard that the beastmen of the Yanxiang Tribe have come to join us."

Si Yan nodded. "Yes, but I haven’t accepted them."

Xi Qing became agitated. "Mother is right! When we were young, that group of wolf beastmen and bear beastmen never stopped bullying us. Especially Xiong Rou, who even deceived Mother into selling our elder brothers and sent them off to hunt to their deaths! She even slandered Mother for extinguishing the Holy Fire!"

Talking of the past felt as if it were a long time ago. The circumstances of the cubs now were completely different from back in the Yanxiang Tribe. They were no longer passive; they now had the right to be proactive!

Nan Mo blinked his eyes.

Dongchi sniffed. "It’s all in the past."

Bei Ji spoke hesitantly, "Mother, Aunt Xiong Nai helped us in the end."

When Dongchi and Nan Mo were being beaten and scolded, it was Xiong Nai who tipped off Si Yan. When Si Yan was forced by the Yanxiang Tribe to accept a Beast Husband, only Xiong Nai spoke up for her.

Si Yan nodded. "Yes. So I’m thinking, when it gets dark, we’ll bring Xiong Nai and her family to the Delusional Domain. Do you all agree?"

The four little ones excitedly agreed, "Agreed!"

「The night was dark and the wind was high.」

Lang Rong grew more and more discontented. Why should the snake beastmen have such a large territory? Why should that female Si Yan treat the snake beastmen better than us wolf beastmen? And even grow Snake Fruit for them? No, I’m determined to destroy their Snake Fruit field!

Having decided, Lang Rong did just that, taking her own male beastmen with her. They used the cover of darkness and the moonlight to reach Si Yan’s Snake Fruit field.

She ordered her male beastmen, "Destroy this place! I want to see Si Yan suffer!"

Lang Rong’s male beastmen obediently moved forward. They were about to step into the Snake Fruit field when they were stopped by a young snake beastman who had been watching them and had shifted to this area.

"What are you doing?!" the snake beastman She Yi roared.

Lang Rong was startled, but seeing that the other was just a young Green Crystal snake beastman, she became arrogant. "Lang Cheng, you restrain him! The rest of you, go destroy this place!"

She Yi angrily retorted, "Don’t even think about it!"

He instantly bristled his scales, transforming into his snake form. His neck flared out, and his spine was adorned with eyeglass patterns. He was a cobra beastman!

Lang Rong’s Beast Husband, who was also Tai Seng’s grandfather, Lang Cheng, nervously said to Lang Rong, "Mistress, he is a venomous snake! His teeth are poisonous!"

The fangs of venomous snake beastmen can secrete toxins that Green Crystal beastmen may not be able to withstand.

Lang Rong angrily declared, "Are you six afraid of him alone? Attack!"

Lang Cheng promptly said, "All of you come with me! Let’s beat this little snake brat up first!"

「...」

Taking advantage of the dark and windy night, Si Yan led her four cubs to find the Yanxiang Tribe. Si Yan thought that they couldn’t have gone far in a day’s time. But to her surprise, she actually saw the beastmen from the Yanxiang Tribe at the border of the Delusional Domain.

Dongchi was a bit surprised. "They haven’t left?"

Si Yan was also surprised. "Strange. Let’s go in and have a look."

The cubs agreed, "Okay!"

Si Yan led the four little ones into the Yanxiang Tribe’s temporary settlement. The beastmen of the Yanxiang Tribe had already dug several caves and were lying inside or outside them, scattered about.

Si Yan stepped over a grey wolf beastman, who didn’t react. The four snake cubs followed one by one, and he still did not react. Si Yan and the four little ones were in perfect sync, carefully avoiding waking any of the male beastmen.

It was the first time the four little ones had joined their mother in such a venture. It was truly thrilling and exciting!

The beastmen here weren’t numerous, and soon Si Yan found the plump female, Xiong Nai, holding her bear cubs in sleep. They took cautious steps, and a male beastman sleeping not far from Xiong Nai turned over. The four little ones became so nervous that their scales bristled.

Si Yan hushed them quietly. The four little ones immediately hushed as well.

Si Yan plucked a blade of grass and gently tickled Xiong Nai’s nose with it. Xiong Nai’s nose twitched; she swatted at it, murmuring, "Stop it, sleep."

The four little ones were on edge, watching as Si Yan continued to tease Xiong Nai’s nose with the blade of grass.

"ACHOO!" Xiong Nai let out a big sneeze.
