As soon as the lion finished speaking, Xue Ling threw a fireball at its tail.

The fur on its tail burned, scaring the lion so much that it quickly rolled on the ground to extinguish the flames.

He looked at his burned tail and couldn’t help but be furious. “How dare you attack me when you know who I am? Do you want to die?!”

Xue Ling chuckled, not taking his threat seriously at all. “Even if your father comes personally, I won’t show mercy.”

“How dare you?!”

Xue Ling said, “If you know what’s good for you, hand that fox over to me immediately. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude to you.”

When the lion heard this, he was even angrier. “Don’t you dare touch me!”

Xue Ling didn’t say anything. He threw another fireball, scaring the lion into dodging. He shouted at the guards behind him, “Why are you still standing there? Help me beat him up!”

Hence, his guards all rolled up their sleeves and fought with Xue Ling.

There were more than 40 beasts in total. They all surrounded Xue Ling, but they still couldn’t gain the upper hand.

Seeing this, Yi Wu was afraid of Xue Ling’s strength again.

She knew that the lion might not be able to protect her. She immediately dragged her injured body and prepared to escape in the chaos.

Although Xue Ling had been dealing with the lion and his guards, he would occasionally glance at Yi Wu from the corners of his eyes. When he noticed that she was trying to escape, Xue Ling raised his hand and threw a fireball at her!

The fireball landed at her feet.

The flames ignited the gra.s.s. Sparks splattered her calves, burning them.

She hurriedly dodged, but Xue Ling threw two more fireb.a.l.l.s at her.

The flames surrounded Yi Wu.

There was nowhere for her to run. She could only watch as the flames quickly spread to her feet. The heat burned her skin, and smoke rushed into her nose, preventing her from breathing easily.

Yi Wu covered her mouth and nose, wanting to shout for help. Unfortunately, the lion was too busy to care about her.

Finally, she collapsed unsteadily from suffocation.

The flames quickly engulfed her.

Seeing this, the lion couldn’t help but point at his nose and curse, “How can you be so ruthless to such a beautiful female? Are you still a male beast?!”

Xue Ling sneered. “This kind of vicious female deserves to die. If you can’t bear to see her like this, you can die with her.”

The lion was speechless.

Yi Wu was already dead, so Xue Ling had no intention of wasting any more time here. He shook off the lion and the others. Then, he spread his wings to fly into the sky.

He flapped his wings to put out the flames that were burning fiercely, lest there be a forest fire.

The lion shouted, “Wait a minute, I want to ask you about someone!”

Xue Ling heard him shout and looked down at him.

The lion shouted, “I want to know where my brother is. You’ve seen him, right? He’s a lion beast like me. His name is He Guang.”

Xue Ling said, “I have seen him.”

The lion was delighted and quickly asked, “Where is he?”

“But I don’t want to tell you.”

With that, Xue Ling flapped his huge wings and flew away without looking back.

The lion gritted his teeth in anger.

He roared in the direction Xue Ling flew, “Just you wait. Sooner or later, I, He Xuan, will kill you!”

The gra.s.s was charred, and a charred body lay beyond recognition.

He Xuan pinched his nose and looked away immediately.

What a pity. Such a beautiful female was burned to a crisp in the blink of an eye.

That bird man had no idea what it meant to be protective of a woman!

He Xuan sighed regretfully, then threw this matter to the back of his mind and led the guards straight to the Black River.

Not long after they left, a large, limp insect emerged from the soil. Its entire body was pink and there were intricate white patterns on its surface. It looked very much like pork belly.

It moved to the charred body, opened its mouth, and swallowed the corpse.

The flesh worm purred as if to express joy.

A moment later, its body began to grow larger and longer, and in a short time, it grew limbs and a head.

In just a moment, the flesh worm became a naked living person.

And this person’s face was exactly the same as Yi Wu’s.

She touched her cheeks, then her plump chest and slender waist. She purred again.

…

Xue Ling returned to Huanhuan’s side. Mu Xiang was already awake.

He briefly explained how Yi Wu had been burned to death.

Mu Xiang was very excited to have gotten her revenge. She knelt down to Xue Ling. “Thank you for helping me take revenge! You’ll be my benefactor from now on. I’ll do anything you ask!”

Huanhuan quickly helped her up. “Don’t be like this. We’re all on the same side.”

Mu Xiang said seriously, “I’ll remember Xue Ling’s kindness for the rest of my life!”

However, Xue Ling said, “If you really want to repay me, help me persuade Huanhuan to mate with me.”

Huanhuan elbowed him. “Don’t be ridiculous.”

Mu Xiang immediately patted her chest and promised, “I’ll definitely help you achieve your goal!”

Huanhuan was helpless. “He’s talking nonsense. Don’t take it seriously.”

“He’s my benefactor. I have to repay him!”

Huanhuan had no choice but to change the topic. “It’s getting late. Let’s go back quickly.”

They returned to the camp and told He Guang that Yi Wu was dead.

He Guang expressed his understanding.

The injured soldiers in the camp no longer needed Huanhuan to stay here. She bade farewell to He Guang, who was reluctant to see her leave. No matter how hard he tried to persuade her to stay, he could not change her decision. In the end, he had no choice but to let her be.

He Guang personally sent the Rock Wolf Tribe beasts out of the camp.

He handed a bag of black crystals to Shuang Yun and said, “These are the crystal coins for the herbs. I didn’t bring many crystals with me this time. This is all I have now. Take them back first. When I return to the beast city, I’ll send the remaining crystals to you.”

With He Guang’s status and Xuan Wei’s character, Shuang Yun was not worried that they would go back on their word. He readily agreed to let them pay later.

Shuang Yun put away the black crystals. “You’re welcome to the Rock Wolf Tribe as guests in the future!”

Before leaving, Xue Ling suddenly thought of something and turned around to say something to He Guang.

“I saw your brother in the forest earlier.”

He Guang was stunned. “Which brother of mine?”

He was the fourth son, and he had three older brothers.

Xue Ling thought for a moment. “He said he was the second prince. His name seems to be… He Xuan?”

He Guang understood. “He’s indeed my second brother.”

“Your brother’s looking for you everywhere. He’ll probably find you here before long.”

He Guang did not look happy about meeting his brother. His expression was cold and calm. “I understand. Thank you for telling me this news.”

Xue Ling smiled and said nothing else. He spread his wings and flew into the sky.
