Chapter 126: Chapter 30 Internal Chaos_2
Yan Li said a bit embarrassedly, "I was thoroughly exhausted over the last two days, and when I finally got a chance to rest, how could I not take it. Yan Shi, what were you guys discussing?"
Yan Shi said calmly, "Ah Li, as a warrior, you should always be alert. The road ahead is fraught with danger, and you need to be more cautious in the future. We were discussing how to deal with the Tian Yuan Clan. We folks from the Pu Yan clan have never dealt with Beast Men before, so we might run into some trouble when we pass through their territory."
Yan Li said, "I’m not scared, if they dare block our path, I’ll chop them down one by one with my axe. I don’t believe there’s anyone who can stop me."
Yue Ji sneered, "Are you that strong? I’d love to see how you’ll charge against an entire clan all by yourself."
Yan Li was furious, "Are you looking down on me, woman? I am one of the strongest warriors in the Pu Yan clan."
Yue Ji was already annoyed by Xuan Yue, and when she heard Yan Li call her a ’woman,’ she became even more furious, "Who are you calling a woman, you short, bristled nail?"
Yan Li swiftly drew out the battle axe from his back and said menacingly, "You are calling me a short nail again, I will duel you."
Ah Dai stood up and said, "We’ve had enough rest, let’s get back on the road. Yan Li, your battle axe is impressive, can I take a look at it?" Then he walked towards Yan Li, positioning himself between Yue Ji and Yan Li.
Because Ah Dai had woken Yan Shi, and Prophet Pu Lin had declared him to be Yan Shi’s benefactor, Yan Li was more respectful to Ah Dai, so he handed his axe over to Ah Dai while grumbling, "That woman from the Red Charming Clan is really mean, it annoys me when she calls me a short nail."
Yue Ji slung her longbow onto her back, while muttering as she walked towards the carriage, "Not my fault you’re short."
Yan Li had sharp ears and heard it clearly, he yelled, "You insulted me, I will kill you," then tried to snatch the battle axe from Ah Dai.
Ah Dai turned his back to Yan Li and said to Yue Ji, "Yue Ji, you’re in the wrong. How can you disparage someone else’s shortcomings?""
Yue Ji snorted, "None of your business. Let him come, you think I’m scared?" As she spoke, she unsheathed her longbow.
"Smack." With everyone gasping, Yan Shi swiftly slapped Yue Ji out of the way. Upon watching their teammate get hit, Wan Li and Miao Fei from the Moon Scar Mercenary Corps, drew out their weapons in anger.
Yue Ji flew a few meters away and fell to the ground, a clear handprint appeared on her pretty face, and fresh blood was flowing out from the corner of her mouth. She was in shock. She had never been hit, not even by her parents; she couldn’t believe that this big man over two meters tall would slap her without hesitation.
Moon Scar gripped his sword hilt, angrily said, "Brother Yan Shi, why did you hit my sister?"
Yan Shi nonchalantly said, "Because she deserved it. Her arrogant and domineering attitude needed to be put in check. If you as her big brother don’t do it, then I will. With her attitude, offending people with every word she says, I fear that before we even reach the Death Mountain Range, we all might die because of her mouth. Was I wrong to hit her? We, the warriors of the Pu Yan clan, are extremely dignified and won’t tolerate any infringement. If you disagree with me, feel free to take revenge."
Yue Ji struggled up from the ground, her armor was scattered, the original neat hair was also dispersed, and with the traces of the slap on her face and blood blooming from the corner of her mouth, she looked very disheveled. As she fumblingly removed her longbow from her back, with one silver flash, an arrow was suddenly shot towards Yan Shi.
Yan Shi appeared a bit surprised, but with a quick movement, he caught the arrow in his palms.
Even Yan Li was stunned when he saw Yan Shi slapping Yue Ji. After all, Yue Ji was a girl, incidentally hitting her with such a heavy slap, anyone would have felt uncomfortable about it no matter what she had done.
Xuan Yue rushed to Ah Dai’s side and said quietly, "Yan Shi seems to have quite a temper! If I ever say anything that offends him, you must protect me. I don’t want to get hit."
Ah Dai nodded, walked quickly to Yan Shi, and blocked the rushing Miao Fei and Wan Li, "Let’s stop fighting. We’re friends. Without unity, how can we retrieve the top-grade magic crystal from the Death Mountain range? Moon Scar, Wan Li, Miao Fei, let’s all calm down."
Miao Fei roared, "Ah Dai, move aside, who gives him the right to hit Yue Ji? He should try and spank us too."
Yan Li also ran over, leaned toward Yan Shi and said, "Brother, let it go."
Yue Ji’s voice was shaking with anger as she pointed her longbow at Yan Shi, "You dared to hit me, it’s either you who die today or me." As she spoke, she took out three more arrows from her quiver.
Yan Shi stood there, coldly watching Yue Ji, he tossed the silver arrow to the side and said, "You’re good with a bow, but it’s not easy to kill me. Do you guys think you’re amazing? A group of naive mercenaries who are neither experienced nor old enough, do you think you can make a name for yourself on the continent with your skills? Stop daydreaming. Ah Dai, move aside, let me teach them a lesson, so they know there are people better than them. Otherwise, when we reach the Death Mountain range, we will be stuck there."
