“Come back!”
Qian Jiyun would not let it leave so easily. He immediately unleashed a burst of Original Soul energy at the beastman.
“Mmph!”
The beastman was caught off guard and collapsed on the ground, leaving a deep mark on the ground. However, it still struggled to get up and leaped toward An Jiuyue.
Its father had warned that without the Soul of the Divination Jade, it would be doomed. It would never attain a human form in this lifetime. It would forever remain in this half-human, half-beast appearance.
It had its own thoughts and emotions, felt shame, and understood etiquette. It did not want to live this way for the rest of its life.
Therefore, it needed the Soul of the Divination Jade.
Qian Jiyun would not let it attack again when he saw how persistent it was in rushing towards the mountain peak.
“Who are they?” the guard beside Young Master Nie exclaimed. Such a massive tree had disappeared without a trace.
Even they were shocked, let alone the beastman.
“They’re not ordinary people,” Young Master Nie replied.
He could guess that An Jiuyue had relocated the Divination Jade Tree to a specific place where only she could see it in the future.
This might be a good thing. No one would covet the Divination Jade Tree
anymore.
“Young Master, can we still return?” the guard asked, looking at his young master worriedly.
“Ha!” Young Master Nie chuckled. “We’ve long passed the point of no return.”
When Yue Suiyu insisted on seeking revenge on Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue, they had already passed the point of no return.
Even if they did not look for Qian Jiyun and brought the item back to Yueming Empire safely, would they be able to survive? They would probably all die except for Yue Suiyu.
“The Yueming Emperor won’t let us live. We can only find a way out ourselves.”
The guards considered it and agreed. If they really brought this thing back, would the Yueming Emperor let them live? If he spared their families, that would already be fortunate.
If they no longer appeared in Yueming Empire, he would think they had died while searching for the Soul of the Divination Jade.
“You want the Soul of the Divination Jade?”
After being beaten up by Qian Jiyun countless times, the beastman stood up again and walked up to An Jiuyue. When he heard her words, he staggered and looked at the woman in front of him in a daze.
“I want it.”
After a long time, it spoke.
How could it not want the Soul of the Divination Jade? That was the reason it had protected the tree for all those years!
Its father had guarded this Divination Jade Tree for the same reason until he died of old age.
“It’s not ripe yet. You should know that, right?” An Jiuyue asked again.
The beastman nodded.
Of course, it knew. If the Soul of the Divination Jade had ripened, it would have plucked it long ago. It would never have been snatched by these outsiders.
An Jiuyue smiled and suggested, “You can stay by my side. The Soul of the Divination Jade will be yours once it has ripened. How about that?
Upon hearing her words, the beastman was visibly puzzled.
Weren’t they here for the Soul of the Divination Jade? Why would they offer it the Soul of the Divination Jade so kindly? It felt like a trap.
“Are you lying to me?”
“No.” An Jiuyue shook her head.
She had a whole new level of respect for this beastman. He even knew that others might lie to him..
