Chapter 21: The Body is Found
I don’t know if it’s because of a change in mentality.
When Yunzhi first saw Qi Chengfeng, she thought he was greasy and pretentious.
I don’t feel that way now.
Perhaps he knew that Qi Chengfeng was not pretending to be like that on purpose.
Rather, it was the strange education he received that made his thoughts different from others.
So, this cannot be blamed on him.
Qi Chengfeng sat next to him, with his puppy eyes drooping, eating his meal obediently. This time, he put down his chopsticks only after finishing the remaining food.
Then he said seriously: "Yunzhi, I am now eight-tenths full."
Yunzhi: "From now on, just follow this amount of food."
After he had cleared the dishes, Yunzhi spoke: "You should know what a companion contract is."
"I know."
Qi Chengfeng nodded.
However, no one would be willing to form a partnership contract with male beasts like them.
When you get old and lose your looks, you will most likely be kicked out of the house.
"Master—Yunzhi, are you planning to enter into a partnership contract with someone?"
"I need to find a male beast to form a bond with me. The one who was originally going to form a bond with me seems to be busy and hasn't shown up yet. If he still doesn't show up tomorrow, could you please complete the bond with me?"
"Me? I'll make a pact with you."
When Qi Chengfeng heard this, it seemed like a fairy tale. He widened his eyes and looked at Yunzhi in disbelief: "Yunzhi, you are the master, how can I sign a partnership contract with you, I don't--" He didn't even finish the word.
Yunzhi interrupted him.
"I won't say you're unworthy anymore. The contract between you and me is fake. I'll end it when I leave here."
"Fake, oh okay, fake is fine."
Qi Chengfeng was relieved now, although for some reason he felt a little disappointed.
But it was only for a moment.
How could anyone be willing to let her be a beastly husband with his status?
As long as he can help his master, he will be satisfied.
He did not dare to be so bold as to hope for anything else.
"Yunzhi, you are my master. I will do whatever you ask me to do. I will obey you."
Yunzhi said patiently, "You don't have to keep saying I'm your master. Even though you're my beastman now, you're still an independent individual to me. If you're unwilling to do something, I won't force you to do it. So just tell me what you really think, okay?"
Qi Chengfeng nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "I understand, but I have no reluctance. As long as it is what you say, I am willing to do it."
Yunzhi listened to these words that expressed loyalty at any time and in any place.
Every word is sincere and there is no fault to be found.
It really feels good to have someone listen to you unconditionally.
But this kind of person who has no independent consciousness and only keeps showing loyalty to her makes her feel like a fake person.
Yunzhi sighed.
She still hoped that Qi Chengfeng could become more human in the future.
…
Yunzhi originally wanted to stay in the cave to rest, but Qi Chengfeng wanted to go out, saying that it was his duty to find food for his master every day.
Yunzhi changed her mind and thought that if the two of them went to the mountains, they could pick more herbs to sell for money, so she took him out with her.
The man's body was just dumped in the wilderness the day before, and less than a day later, she came up the mountain.
Yunzhi didn't feel guilty at all.
In this era, there is no surveillance, no fingerprint identification, and no DNA testing. Even if the body is found, the murderer will not be found on her.
Yunzhi taught Qi Chengfeng how to identify which herbs were. Qi Chengfeng was very smart and had a photographic memory. Soon, the two of them picked a bag full of herbs.
When going down the mountain, Qi Chengfeng caught a pheasant, and Yunzhi picked some mushrooms on the spot and took them back to make chicken and mushroom soup.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I reached the foot of the mountain, I ran into Lu Tingxiu and Lu Xingchi.
As soon as Lu Tingxiu saw Yunzhi, he looked between her and the strange orc, his face darkening slightly.
A new male beast appeared beside Yunzhi.
Is she so lonely and unbearable?
The smile on Lu Xingchi's face instantly faded, and he said to Qi Chengfeng rather critically, "Are you Yunzhi's beastly husband? Tsk, I don't think you're that beautiful. Rumors really can't be trusted."
"He is not a fox, he is a wolf orc." Lu Tingxiu frowned.
"Wolf orc?"
Only then did Lu Xingchi realize that he had the characteristics of a werewolf.
"Why has it changed again? So you're planning to form a bond with this werewolf now?"
"Who do you care who I make a pact with?"
Yunzhi didn't know why Lu Xingchi was so talkative. If he had so much free time, he could just find a class to attend.
She pulled Qi Chengfeng around them and walked away. Lu Xingchi looked at Yunzhi's back and shouted, "How dare you go up the mountain? Do you know there are dead people up there? You're really brave."
Yunzhi paused and her heart skipped a beat.
Bai Yu’s body was found so soon?
Then he turned around and said, "Lu Xingchi, what do you mean by dead?"
Seeing Yunzhi seemed interested, Lu Xingchi immediately said, "Bai Mu's son, Bai Yu, died in the mountains. His body was found this morning. His head and upper body had been gnawed off by a tiger, leaving only his two legs."
Bai Mu is the priest of the Snake Tribe.
Lu Xingchi had no sympathy for this at all.
Bai Yu, a weakling with only a few pounds of flesh on his body, had no idea of his own weight and no special abilities. I don't know what he was doing in the mountains in the middle of the night.
Moreover, Lu Xingchi had heard of the rumors about Bai Yu. People like that were dead, and to put it bluntly, it was just retribution.
But he would not say this out loud. Although his father Lu Kui was the patriarch, their power was equal when facing the Beast God Priest.
Although Lu Xingchi was impulsive, he also understood that words can cause trouble, so he would not take the initiative to cause trouble for his father.
Yunzhi: "So that's how it is."
Only two legs are left, making it even harder to tell how he died.
Yunzhi felt relieved.
No one would have figured out that he was strangled.
Lu Xingchi: "You know how dangerous the mountains are, right? You're a female with no special abilities, so why do you go up there every day? Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
Yunzhi was speechless for a moment.
I don't know what's wrong with Lu Xingchi's mouth. He was clearly saying words of concern, but why did he sound so domineering?
It turns out that he is destined to be alone.
"It's okay. I will protect Yunzhi. Whenever Yunzhi wants to go up the mountain, I will accompany her."
Qi Chengfeng suddenly spoke.
The male was not very nice to his master; he did not like this person.
Yunzhi curled her lips towards Qi Chengfeng and said to Lu Xingchi, "You heard me. Someone will accompany me."
Before Lu Xingchi could say anything, Lu Tingxiu sneered, "You're just an ordinary orc. How can you protect a female?"
