Chapter 167: I Don’t Want to Kill Anyone Myself Today

Chapter 167: Chapter 167: I Don’t Want to Kill Anyone Myself Today

When the girl saw these men, her face filled with terror!

She immediately prepared to flee!

After all, these were the very people who had been hunting her!

She had exhausted all her strength thinking she’d finally shaken them off, but to her dismay, they had caught up to her again!

Instinctively, she started to run!

But in the next moment, Ye Yunyi grabbed her hand!

Ye Yunyi noted how soft her small hand felt.

The pull brought the girl right to his side.

It was only then that the men on the other side noticed Ye Yunyi!

Hmm?!

When they were hunting Lin Xuerou before, there wasn’t a young man like this with her!

But now!

One had appeared!

However!

None of that really mattered!

After all, for them...

...killing one person or two was all the same!

As long as they could get their hands on the treasure Lin Xuerou’s old man left behind!

That was what mattered most!

"Run! Why aren’t you running anymore!"

The men stared at Lin Xuerou, their eyes glinting with a sharp light!

This one really was a good runner!

So many of them, all Late-Diamond Stage Mutants, had been chasing her for so long!

The girl shouldn’t be able to escape now!

If her old man were still around, they wouldn’t have dared to act so presumptuously even if they had ten times the nerve.

But now...

Heh heh!

Not only would they snatch the treasure, but they wouldn’t let a great beauty like Lin Xuerou go either!

They weren’t fools, after all. A beauty like her was a once-in-a-lifetime find!

As they thought this, they began to move!

In the next instant!

"Stop!"

Ye Yunyi looked at them. "Get lost."

Hmm?!

Hearing Ye Yunyi’s words, the men’s eyes all widened. They couldn’t believe what they had just heard!

’This kid!’

’What did he just say?!’

’He told us to stop, and then told us to get lost?!’

Huh?!

’He’s insane!’

’These young punks nowadays are all insane!’

They then snorted coldly. "Kid, what did you say? Are you looking to die?!"

They were about to say more!

When from behind them...

...came the sound of rushing wind!

A moment later!

Several figures arrived!

It was none other than...

...the Patriarchs!

Upon seeing Ye Yunyi, they all rushed over to surround him!

"Lord Ye!"

"Were you waiting for us!"

"You’re advancing so quickly, we can’t keep up at all!"

"We’ve already taken care of the Exotic Beasts you killed earlier! Once we return to the bastion, we’ll give you all their Exotic Beast Crystal Cores!"

Seeing Ye Yunyi, the Patriarchs’ faces lit up with excitement. The floodgates of their speech opened, and each of them looked at Ye Yunyi as if seeking praise, crowding around him!

They plastered smiles on their faces and raised their voices as much as possible!

They were terrified that Ye Yunyi might not notice them!

But this scene, witnessed by the group of men and Lin Xuerou...

...left them all stunned!

’Good heavens!’

’What is going on?!’

’Lord Ye?!’

’And with such reverence?!’

Just as they were reeling in confusion!

From nearby, the sound of flapping wings suddenly rang out!

Then, a large hide was abruptly flipped over, revealing the true form of an Exotic Beast beneath it, along with a giant black bird!

Everyone jumped in fright!

Then!

They all saw the Exotic Beast!

Holy shit!

This!

Isn’t this a Taotie Giant Lizard!

A powerful Mid-Star Stage Exotic Beast!

In an instant, everyone seemed to turn to stone!

Lin Xuerou stared at the Taotie Giant Lizard!

Then she looked at the meat skewer in Ye Yunyi’s hand!

And then at the one he had given her!

This!

’Am I eating the meat of a Mid-Star Stage Exotic Beast?!’

Meanwhile!

The men watched this scene unfold, their legs turning to jelly!

THUMP! They collapsed to the ground!

Looking at Ye Yunyi, their voices began to tremble!

"My lord!"

"My lord, we were blind and failed to recognize your greatness! We have offended you!"

"Please be magnanimous and don’t lower yourself to our level!"

"Please let us go..."

...

In an instant, a torrent of pleas poured from their mouths!

They groveled pathetically, begging for their lives.

All of their earlier arrogance was gone!

Seeing this, the nearby Patriarchs’ eyes darted about!

They understood the situation clear as day!

’These unlucky bastards must have spoken rudely and offended Lord Ye!’

’They were really courting death!’

Their hands started to itch with the desire to act!

Ye Yunyi looked at them and said, "I don’t feel like getting my own hands dirty today."

His words fell upon the Patriarchs’ ears.

They naturally knew what he meant!

Without hesitation, they attacked the men!

SQUELCH! SQUELCH!

Then!

The sound of tearing flesh and bone arose!

In just a few moves!

Their lives were extinguished!

They didn’t even have the ability to resist!

After all, these were Star Level Patriarchs!

"Come on, you probably haven’t had breakfast yet. Come and have a taste."

Ye Yunyi waved the Patriarchs over. They understood his gesture immediately, came over to sit down, and didn’t stand on ceremony.

They picked up skewers and started roasting them!

Nearby, Lin Xuerou looked at Ye Yunyi, her earlier defiance gone. She watched him timidly and said, "Thank you for saving me."

Then, Ye Yunyi handed her a photograph.

He didn’t say a word.

Lin Xuerou took the photo.

She looked at it!

The person in the photo was none other than herself!

This!

This photo!

’It’s the one my father used to carry!’

Instantly, she looked up at Ye Yunyi. ’This person... he’s met my father?’

A glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes as she asked Ye Yunyi, "Is my father okay? Where is he now?"

"He entrusted me with your care. From now on, you’ll come with me."

Those few words. 𝖋𝙧ⅇ

...instantly extinguished the hope that had risen in Lin Xuerou’s eyes!

She understood the meaning behind his words!

Her father...

...must have already fallen!

Ye Yunyi saw her expression and gently patted her head. "People have to keep moving forward."

"Before he passed, your father told me a lot of things and entrusted you to me. I’ve been looking for you ever since but couldn’t find you. I didn’t expect to run into you by chance today."

As Ye Yunyi spoke, he noticed that the way Lin Xuerou looked at him had become much warmer.

Listening from the side, the Patriarchs more or less understood what was going on.

They hadn’t realized the two shared such a deep connection.

「A short while later.」

The rest of the Patriarchs arrived in the area!

"Holy shit? That’s weird! How come there aren’t any Exotic Beasts in this area? It’s like we’ve seen a ghost!"

one Patriarch said, just as he caught the scent of roasting meat!

"Who’s that, starting a fire to cook? Let’s go check it out."

At his suggestion, everyone headed in that direction!

A moment later!

They saw the group roasting skewers next to the carcass of a Taotie Giant Lizard.

Everyone: "..."

They glanced at the people present, their gazes finally landing on Ye Yunyi!

’This thing... only Ye Yunyi could have killed it!’

But!

They looked at Ye Yunyi’s clothes!

There wasn’t a single drop of blood on them!

’A complete slaughter!’

’Another one!’

’Lord Ye’s power is simply too terrifying!’
