Chapter 105 Scars on the Body

Can't you think of something more promising?

Yunzhi pressed her brows, finally suppressing her anger. She said sarcastically, "Forget it. I'll just consider this as fulfilling your last wish in advance. I want to tell you, you absolutely must never do something like this again. Otherwise, I will really break off our friendship and I will no longer recognize you as my friend."

Lu Xingchi realized that Yunzhi was being serious when she said this, so he put away his smile. "I'm sorry, I was just trying to satisfy my own selfish desires. Don't be angry, I was wrong."

Yunzhi didn't want to talk about it anymore. She had many questions: "Why did you do such a dangerous thing after coming to the south? Why did you go to the battlefield? I thought you would follow Ye Yuan, just like Zheng Peng and Shi Lei, and stay by his side. But I didn't expect you to choose to join the army just to gain merit as quickly as possible. Why are you so eager for quick success?"

Lu Xingchi: "Brother Ye is not loved by his beastly father and is on the verge of being abandoned at any time. I don't want to live under his wing. He himself has a hard time. How is my life any different from the life I had under the protection of my father and brothers in the north?"

"So you chose to join the army because of Ye Yuan."

Lu Xingchi: "It's not entirely for Brother Ye. He was against me joining the army. He knew the truth that swords have no eyes and didn't want to see me die on the battlefield. I wanted to stand out as soon as possible, so I chose this path. Now I have my own army. Not only can I help Brother Ye, but I have also become the first foreign orc general in Jinghong City. I secretly used my power to do many things for Brother Ye to repay him for taking me in."

Yunzhi: "Yeyuan, how are you doing now? I haven't seen him for a long time."

Lu Xingchi: "Currently, the city lord is critically ill, and Big Brother Ye is battling with several other brothers. But fortunately, those people are not to be feared."

"Wait a minute, what? The city lord is critically ill?" Yun Zhi repeated as if she had misheard. "The city lord of Jinghong City?"

Lu Xingchi: "Yes."

Yunzhi recalled that in her previous life, the mayor of Jinghong City was not critically ill at all. He allowed his sons to fight each other while he sat on the throne and watched the show. Ye Yuan himself did not have much power, so those people joined forces to attack him alone.

He had a hard time.

It’s only this late hour, and the city lord is actually critically ill.

"Is the city lord's illness not simple?"

Lu Xingchi's expression changed slightly: "How do you know?"

Yunzhi: "I'm just guessing. I heard that the Lord of Jinghong City has always been in good health. He suddenly became critically ill so quickly. Is it because of internal reasons?"

"To be honest, the City Lord is not critically ill, he is poisoned. The poison was given by Brother Ye. He has endured it for so many years and has had enough. So in order to end it all as soon as possible, he chose to kill his father."

Yunzhi's breathing stopped. She didn't expect that the person who made the move was Ye Yuan.

Therefore, it was Ye Yuan's change of mind that caused the city lord to die much earlier.

This is good. If it were like in his previous life, Ye Yuan would have to endure a long period of torture, fall into many traps, and have a lot of his close associates die before he would decide to kill his father first.

In this life, I will just kill the old pervert who is the city lord first, which will also save the people around me, and then kill those little ones one by one. In this way, the position of city lord will be as easy as taking candy from a sack.

"Why are you so sad about Brother Ye? You are very worried about him."

Lu Xingchi remembered that Yunzhi was willing to chat with him alone because he mistakenly thought that something had happened to Ye Yuan.

He felt jealous because Yunzhi seemed to have a good impression of Ye Yuan.

Yunzhi: "He and I are friends, so what's wrong with caring about him?"

Lu Xingchi said: "I thought you liked Brother Ye."

"Don't talk about love all the time. He and I are just friends. Besides, you're on Ye Yuan's team now. If Ye Yuan wins, you'll have something to gain. Otherwise, you might become a victim of the political struggle."

Yunzhi said.

"I know that ever since I stepped into this complicated vortex, I no longer have the extravagant hope of escaping unscathed. I live one day at a time, and my greatest wish has just been fulfilled, so I have no regrets."

Speaking of that so-called greatest wish, Yunzhi glared at him fiercely, "Stop talking. I'm leaving. My beastly husbands have been waiting for me here for a long time. I can't let them keep waiting."

Lu Xingchi: "Beast husbands...? Yunzhi, besides that Qi Chengfeng, that guy just now is also your beast husband?"

Yunzhi said calmly, "Both of them are my beast husbands. Next Wednesday is an auspicious day. My new beast husband, Chen Qi, and I will be forming a bond on that day. If you're free, you can come and watch the ceremony. Bring a gift or not, I don't mind. It's fun anyway."

"You formed a bond with another beastman and asked me to watch?" Lu Xingchi looked at her in disbelief. "How could you, how could you be so cruel to me? You can accept two beastmen who showed up along the way, so why can't you accept me? I pursued you sincerely before, but you refused. I've only been away for a short time, and you already have two beastmen."

Lu Xingchi's cat-like eyes turned gray. "Why don't you want to accept me? Is there something I haven't done well enough? Tell me what I've done wrong, and I'll change."

Yunzhi asked Lu Xingchi to stop his mumbling. "You're giving me a headache. The relationship between me and my two beastly husbands was a natural one. They have always been by my side and have sacrificed for me, so I am willing to be with them. As for you, I was very sad when I thought you were dead. I regret not treating you better."

Lu Xingchi's eyes lit up: "Yunzhi, are you..."

Yunzhi: "Lu Xingchi, you better protect yourself. I don't want to hear that you're really dead next time, understand?"

Lu Xingchi: "Well, I will live well. Can you agree to my pursuit?"

Yunzhi: ...

"You have more important things to do. You should first help Ye Yuan complete his great task before you talk about these romantic matters."

Lu Xingchi: "Will you consider me? Or, will you allow me to continue pursuing you?"

He still asked stubbornly.

Yunzhi: "You know, I already have two beastly husbands. Why are you still pursuing me? Do you want to be the third one?"

Lu Xingchi's face turned pale, and he finally said: "Third place is third place. As long as there is a place by your side, I am willing to take it no matter what place it is."

Third place is better than no place at all.

Yunzhi was speechless: "Let's talk about this later. I've just been with Shen Qi, and I don't want to appear too devoted. You don't have to pursue me or anything. Let's just be ordinary friends, okay?"
