C92 Part1

Translated by An Edited by An

Tian Yue had shut himself in the cold room. Four members of the patrol team stood by the door and peeked inside from time to time through the glass door. They were worried that the young male beast would think of doing anything stupid.

Yang QiQi sat on a chair in the corridor. Zheng Shou squatted down and plopped his big head on her lap, wrapping his arms tightly around her waist.

“When I hurried over to their room after receiving the signal for help, the attendants in charge of the guesthouse building were already at the door. Despite their calls, no one opened the door so I snatched the key from their hands and opened the door directly…” After some time of silence, Zheng Shou continued, his voice filled with bitter anguish: “I restrained Female Warrior Li Yuan and took away the four corpses and two wounded beastmen from under her control… QiQi, do you know? Four people had to carry Liang Qing alone. His body was too damaged…”

He didn’t finish the sentence, but Yang QiQi could comprehend the rest. Because it was too broken, two people did not dare to lift it. They feared that his body parts would fall off and scatter halfway.

At that time, what kind of hell on earth did Zheng Shou and others see ah?

“How will Li Yuan be dealt with?” As far as Yang QiQi had read about the laws and customs of this world, she had not come across any punishment for a willful killing committed by female beastmen. Although females were precious, if she killed five people in a row and injured one person so grandiosely, she would inevitably have to be punished, right?

“Female beasts have immunity from the death penalty.” Xu spoke as he strode toward them with the others. They were soaked from head to toe, leaving water stains all the way on the ground. Even so, Xu, who was at the front, looked unruffled. He was still as valiant and formidable-looking as always. They got to know of this murder case from the staff here by coincidence when they were asking around for Yang QiQi and Zheng Shou. This kind of thing happened a few times every year, but each time, it made the male beastmen feel miserable and indignant.

He said, “Even if a female beast commits a crime like treason, they’d only be given a life sentence.”

Yang QiQi frowned: “What about Li Yuan’s crime?”

“If, for instance, she was still in the green rank, she would’ve been sentenced to five years in prison. But now that she broke through to the yellow rank, her punishment will be lighter. According to the past cases, she will be detained in her new Saintess Hall for five years.”

In other words, the lives of the five male beastmen, including Liang Qing, were only exchanged for Li Yuan’s penalty of not leaving the Saintess Maiden for five years. And she, who was to join the Yellow-ranked Saintess Hall, would still join it. With almost little-to-none damage.

Female beastmen like Li Yuan were not at all deterred by such light punishment. As a result, it was no wonder that even in Han City, she had no scruples while killing her males.

The sound of multiple footsteps was heard in the corridor again.

Xu and the other four leaned to the side and turned to look. It was Wa Hu and the others. Everyone, including the four patrol team members by the door, looked straight at the person beside Wa Hu, their gazes seeming to stab her – Li Yuan!

At present, she had changed into a beige-colored informal outfit. From her neat and fresh look, Li Yuan seemed to have already taken a bath. There was no expression of guilt or shame on her face. She was following Wa Hu calmly as if she had no connection with the murderer who killed five people in a row.

As the saying goes, ‘ if the rabbit dies, the fox grieves ‘ ; all the male beastmen viewed her as their enemy now.

“Female Warrior Li Yuan did something wrong, so I brought her here to apologize to the deceased and the injured.” Wa Hu ignored the others, addressing Zheng Shou and Yang QiQi directly. It was highly possible that everything she said about apologizing was anything but sincere. Her main reason for pulling Li Yuan here might very well be probing to infer Zheng Shou and Yang QiQi’s stance on this matter.

“Get lost!” Zheng Shou raised his head and roared only two words .

He was not a good-tempered person. If he hadn’t been worried that he would be imprisoned in Saintess Forest after killing Li Yuan and never see Yang QiQi again, he would have killed her with one punch long ago. He has done his best to endure it until now, but if the murderer hovered before his eyes again, he might really kill her accidentally.

Li Yuan was stunned by Zheng Shou’s sudden murderous aura. Her face turned pale, but she calmed down immediately. This fiendish male beast was no longer the uncaring bachelor he used to be. Now, he had a beloved little female. Even if he was not in a desperate situation, he would no longer kill any female under impulse. So, she didn’t need to be afraid of him anymore.

Yang QiQi patted his thick back in appeasement before turning to Wa Hu: “We are not the victims. You don’t need to explain anything to us. However, the matter happened in Han City. As the official hosts, we still hope to know how Female Warrior Li Yuan intends to handle the follow-up matters.”

“Liang Qing and the other people’s corpses will be brought back to the Saintess Hall of LanJing City. They will be buried in the cemetery there. As for the injured person, Tian Yue, I will treat him well in the future. So that his wounded heart and body would heal as soon as possible.”
