But since it involves the Zerg, it's not something he can decide alone.

Shen Xirou felt that both Lord Quan and Que Junya were extremely hypocritical, and their excuses were all very plausible. She wasn't afraid at all. She didn't believe that Lord Quan would punish her for what she had failed to accomplish, especially since she had given birth to two sons for Lord Quan.

Thinking of her son, Shen Xirou wanted to rush out to find Quan Shaoye, but the city lord of Quan released his soul pet to restrict Shen Xirou's movements, making her unable to move. She was so angry that she cursed at the city lord of Quan.

Today, her demeanor is different from before; she curses with the most offensive language, even calling the Lord of Quan City a good-looking but useless piece of trash.

Quan Shaochuan instinctively covered his ears, feeling that these were words he shouldn't be listening to.

Quan Shaofeng looked at Lord Quan with schadenfreude, wondering if Lord Quan would still remember his cousin's gentle kindness after today.

Si Er, holding Guagua, quietly lowered his head. He suddenly realized that coming in was a mistake. If they were still outside, they could have eavesdropped to their heart's content.

Listening to it live always makes me feel a little embarrassed; sometimes I want to laugh but I have to try hard to suppress my smile.

Yu Beixuan didn't mind at all, listening attentively the whole time, and laughing when he felt like it.

Although it seems very impolite, his father, Yu Lipu, was not a polite person at all! Like father, like son, Yu Beixuan thought that Lord Quan would definitely understand.

Que Junya quickly brought over several elders who were stationed at the rest stop. On the way, Que Junya had already relayed Yu Beixuan's words to the elders. However, after the elders entered the tent, they still asked Yu Beixuan many questions.

The more questions they asked, the more serious their expressions became.

They could already guess the Zerg's purpose; the most reassuring figures in the four border cities were always the four city lords.

Even though these four people might be somewhat muddle-headed in family matters and quite outrageous in private affairs, they are all very reliable in important matters. They are like four pillars, firmly guarding the four directions, and have never made any mistakes.

However, if any city lord falls, the defenses outside the city may be breached, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Although legend has it that a very powerful guardian beast lurks near each border town, it is just a legend, and no one dares to gamble on it.

Even if such a thing were true, given the current fragility of the Beast Continent, it wouldn't be suitable for those ancient beings who have lived for tens of thousands of years to take action.

Otherwise, it could very well result in a situation where they win the war, but the mainland is also bombed.

The Second Elder, the most respected elder besides the City Lord and Que Junya, solemnly said, "City Lord, I know you are reluctant to part with this woman, but she has colluded with the insect race and betrayed the human race. She really cannot be kept alive any longer!"

Shen Xirou was very indignant, but her mouth had been gagged, so she couldn't defend herself.

She could only glare fiercely at Yu Beixuan, feeling that this brat had exaggerated her crimes.

Although she hated Lord Quan, she never thought of killing him directly.

The little butterfly she had recently formed a contract with told her that the package contained only scales from its body. The City Lord wouldn't be in mortal danger from the scales; she would simply be temporarily unable to use her soul power.

When Lord Quan satisfies Shen Xirou, Little Butterfly will help Lord Quan detoxify.

Shen Xirou drugged Lord Quan only to force him to pass the position to her eldest son, Quan Shaohua.

Once Quan Shaohua becomes the city lord, she will be his mother, and the four of them—mother and sons—will enjoy endless wealth and luxury.

As for Lord Quan, she wouldn't mistreat him. Anyway, Lord Quan has always enjoyed slaying evil beasts outside the city, so she'll just let him continue to fulfill his duties as city lord outside the city and maintain his authority.

Isn't this a win-win situation? (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
