After Pampering Her 5 Beast Husbands, the Villainess Struck It Rich

Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Why Aren’t You Following the Script?

The Beastmen who heard this instantly saw red, their emotions easily inflamed.

They had only made a few sarcastic remarks when they arrived and had brought the Low-level Beasts over, hoping for help. They were in the wrong, but it wasn’t a crime punishable by death!

But not only were these Beastmen stealing their beasts, they actually wanted them to die!

At this thought, the Beastmen had only one idea: they would take Hu Yan and his group down with them, even if it meant dying in the process!

So they charged madly toward Hu Yan’s group, with the Low-level Beasts they were leading still hot on their heels. "AHHH—I’ll fight you to the death! You stole our beasts and put Lily Grass on us! If we’re going to die, we’ll die together!"

All the Beastmen were roused by these words, shouting loudly, "That’s right! If we die, we die together!"

Then, all the Beastmen, with the pursuing Low-level Beasts in tow, charged toward Hu Yan and his group.

Just then, Hu Yan swiftly caught the last Low-level Beast tossed over. He glanced at the Beastmen, whose emotions had been stirred up by the two instigators, and explained in a calm voice, "We only needed a few of your beasts. As compensation, here are eighteen vials of medicine that rapidly restore spiritual power. After we leave, my partner will light some Lily Grass elsewhere, and these beasts will leave."

With that said, he tossed the eighteen vials of medicine to each of the Beastmen.

The sudden appearance of medicine vials in their arms left all the Beastmen, who had just been gnashing their teeth in hatred, frozen in place.

’Is this some kind of carrot-and-stick approach?’

It was a known fact that even the most common medicine for restoring spiritual power cost a hefty sum of Star Coins. Most Beastman families didn’t have much money, so obtaining a single vial of recovery medicine was the dream of every poorer Beastman on a mission.

But they clearly never expected to get a vial of spiritual power recovery medicine under such circumstances.

’So... should they still chase them? Should they still fight?’

Even the two instigators were stunned.

’This... How are they not playing by the rules?’

They had just managed to rile everyone up, only for a single vial of medicine from Hu Yan to leave them completely dumbfounded.

Looking at the other Beastmen, their faces beaming with joy, how could they possibly be convinced by a few provocative words to hold up Hu Yan’s group now that they had medicine to restore their spiritual power?

’How are we supposed to continue now?!’

And so, the scene below transformed. A group of Beastmen ran in front with joyful expressions, while dozens of Low-level Beasts chased them from behind.

They thundered past in one direction, then thundered back again.

To avoid being caught, every one of them ran with all their might, their faces twisted in exertion.

The scene was both pathetic and somewhat comical to watch.

Just then, Hu Yan’s voice was suddenly heard. "There are people among you who deliberately put you in this situation. I don’t know their motives, but think about it carefully. Isn’t there always one or two people like this, stirring up your emotions at times like these? In the end, you charge forward, but they hide at the back."

"Our only goal was to get the Low-level Beasts we need ahead of time so we could go back sooner. But because of them, if we had spoken to you directly, you would have certainly been incited against us. We have no grudge against you, so naturally we wouldn’t want to create one. But you’ve come looking for trouble with us time and again, and we were simply forced to retaliate. We’re about to leave, and we don’t want you to remain deceived. Of course, if you’d rather be deceived, then just pretend I said nothing."

"Alright, we’re leaving now. Thank you for providing us with the Low-level Beasts. Goodbye."

After speaking, Hu Yan beckoned to Yue Junxiao and the others. The group retreated quickly, leaving the other Beastmen to look at each other in dismay, suspicion beginning to grow among them.

「Meanwhile, on the other side, Yan Yichen had already lit the Lily Grass, its strong scent immediately attracting the attention of some of the Low-level Beasts.」

At once, the Low-level Beasts that had just been chasing the other Beastmen all rushed toward the direction of the strong scent.

"RUMBLE—"

A large herd of Low-level Beasts stampeded past, trampling a wide patch of the surrounding trees.

Seeing the Low-level Beasts leave, those Beastmen could finally stop to rest.

And so, they couldn’t help but start thinking about what Hu Yan had just said.

In reality, Hu Yan’s words were full of holes. But the Beastmen, who had just benefited, were biased. Hearing Hu Yan say there were traitors among them and that everything today was their fault, they immediately recalled that it did seem to be the case!

On top of that, although Yue Junxiao had put Lily Grass on them, he had also drawn the Low-level Beasts away, preventing them from getting more seriously injured.

After all, even if Hu Yan’s group hadn’t put Lily Grass on them, they wouldn’t have lasted much longer anyway.

Although they took the Low-level Beasts they had just hunted, they also gave compensation. All things considered, they had come out ahead.

Thinking about it that way, the recent actions of Hu Yan’s group weren’t so unacceptable.

But the most important thing now were the two traitors Hu Yan had just mentioned.

’If we let them stay here, this time we were chased by Low-level Beasts. What about next time?!’

At this thought, all the Beastmen swore they would find those two!

Immediately, they began to point fingers at each other.

One Beastman was the first to speak up. "The voice that just said they were trying to kill us with Lily Grass seemed to come from over there."

Hearing this, the Beastman who had been the first to claim Hu Yan was using Spiritual Power Grass to harm them immediately grew flustered. However, he didn’t let it show on his face and started frantically signaling to his accomplice not far away, asking what they should do now.

They never thought they would be played by Hu Yan right before he left.

But just then, another Beastman next to him suddenly said, "You’re the one who said that just now, weren’t you?"

「By this time, Hu Yan’s group had already met up with Yan Yichen and were heading back in the Hovercar.」

「Meanwhile, Xing Fan and Xiang Ling sensed that something was wrong. Bai Zhi had been gone for far too long.」

Even a stomachache shouldn’t take this long.

So the two of them went to the restroom to look for her. They searched everywhere but couldn’t find Bai Zhi. They tried calling her, but no one answered. In the end, they reported it directly to the Female Alliance to ask for help.

「As for Bai Zhi, she had already been taken aboard a small Starship by the three Beastmen.」

Bai Zhi woke up to find her hands and feet bound. She had been thrown in a corner, all alone in the space, but she could faintly hear voices coming from the front.

"We’ve got her. The photo has been sent. How do you want her to die?"

When Bai Zhi heard this, she was so scared her heart skipped a beat. ’They... They’re going to kill me?!’

Bai Zhi’s mind raced. ’These people have clearly been hired to take my life!’

’I have to save myself!’

’Where am I?’

’How can I escape?’

She wriggled her body, trying to hear more clearly, but only managed to catch the other person say, "Alright. Just make sure the final payment arrives soon."

Then, she heard a scraping sound, like a chair being pushed back.

Immediately after, footsteps started walking in her direction.

THUMP THUMP THUMP—
