With a hint of apology in his expression, he slowly revealed the knot that had been buried in his heart for so many years: "I was ostracized in my family and often didn't even have enough to eat, let alone the training resources I could get. I didn't want to continue like this, so I came up with a plan to improve my physique and enhance my strength by using medicinal herbs."
The witch doctor of Beast City was a money-grubbing man who would never pay attention to Wang Ye. However, Fei Han, the witch doctor's successor at that time, was a very good target.
He deliberately stole Fei Han's herbs, then pretended to find them for him. The two got to know each other, and their relationship grew better and better. Fei Han, just as he expected, was willing to use the herbs to treat him and help him improve his health, even without paying a price.
He said he wanted to improve his strength and strive for the position of Beast King, so Fei Han helped him find the Infant Fruit. With the help of the Infant Fruit, his strength indeed improved significantly, and he gradually became famous in Beast City.
However, the Infant Fruit was not so delicious. Wang Ye soon realized that something was wrong with his body. He not only had headaches and insomnia, but his temper also became increasingly irritable and unpredictable. Fei Han always thought it was her problem and that she should not have let him eat the Infant Fruit so rashly.
But actually, he was the one who initially said he wanted to improve his strength, and he was also the one who took the initiative to eat the Infant Fruit. He was also the first to know that he was abnormal. However, for the sake of strength, after learning about the side effects of the Infant Fruit, he chose to hide those changes from Fei Han until his addiction to the Infant Fruit became uncontrollable.
"I became the Beast King, but Fei Han felt extremely guilty about it. She worked tirelessly to help me overcome my addiction and did everything she could to help me recover."
Yu Wanwan was astonished to find that things between him and Fei Han had turned out this way.
“Feihan is my only friend and my closest brother. After my beast parents passed away one after another, I regarded him as my only family. After learning that you and he had become partners, I was afraid that you had ulterior motives and would harm Feihan, so I kept testing you, which is why I said those things to you yesterday.” He paused, his expression more solemn than ever before: “Wanwan, I’m sorry, you are a very good female, it was my petty mind that made me this way.”
Yu Wanwan always thought that Wang Ye had ulterior motives, but she did not expect that Wang Ye was acting out of love and care for Fei Han and did not want him to get into this mess.
Yu Wanwan quickly said, "It's okay, you were only doing it for Fei Han's own good, I don't blame you."
Wang Ye smiled bitterly: "Perhaps you are right. A relationship with impure motives can never last long. That's why Fei Han didn't want to stay in Beast City. I lied to him and used him."
Yu Wanwan didn't expect that her casual remark would hit Wang Ye's heart so hard. She said gently, "No, Fei Han has always valued you very much. He treats you like his own brother. Don't be too sad. Even if we are no longer in Beast City, you will still be his most important family member."
Wang Ye stared intently at Yu Wanwan, remaining silent for a long time.
He was so envious. He envied Fei Han for being able to meet Yu Wanwan, become her partner, and be cherished by her.
Yesterday, his probing made it very clear that Yu Wanwan valued and cared for Fei Han, which put his mind at ease.
...
At this moment, in the Beast King's Palace prison.
Chang Yue, carrying a jar in his hand, strolled leisurely into the gloomy prison, finally stopping in front of a cell.
"Feihan, are you alright?" He asked with concern, but his face was full of schadenfreude.
Inside the cell, a wounded boy lay on the ground, his long black hair disheveled and covering most of his face. Behind him were two pairs of red wings, now devoid of their former luster, too weak to even retract. A spear was embedded in one of the wings, and blood dripped continuously onto the ground.
Hearing the noise, Fei Han moved and raised her pale face.
Seeing him like this, Chang Yue clicked his tongue twice: "It's really too pitiful. The once high and mighty Lord Fei Han, the pride of heaven, actually has such a miserable time. If your female saw this, she might think you're a disgrace and dump you."
Fei Han's eyes were filled with coldness.
"But I forgot, your partner fell off the cliff with Wangye. I sent people to check, it's a bottomless abyss, and there's no trace of their bodies. I wonder if you felt it? Has your bond been broken?"
After saying that, Chang Yue burst into unrestrained laughter.
Hearing that they had fallen off the cliff, Fei Han tightened her grip and said fiercely, "Chang Yue, don't be so arrogant!"
Chang Yue stopped laughing and looked at him with pity: "It's not that I'm arrogant, I just feel sorry for you. Your partner is dead, the Beast King is dead, and soon you will die too."
He straightened his robes and squatted down outside the cell: "I have found the next Beast King. He will soon ascend the throne. At that time, you, a cold-blooded beastman spy and traitor who plotted against the former Beast King, will be burned at the stake during the enthronement ceremony as a warning to others."
"Do you want to know who will succeed him as the Beast King? Oh, you don't need to know, you'll see him soon enough."
Fei Han suddenly coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood: "Chang Yue, why did you do this? We grew up together since we were little, and you've already become an elder. What more could you want?"
His words must have triggered something in Chang Yue, because he threw the jar in his hand to the ground and cursed, "Growing up together and becoming an elder? What do you know? I earned my position as an elder through my own hard work! Do you know how outrageous you've been? Do you know how I've lived all these years? You hypocrites, you only know how to say nice things, but behind my back you're a completely different, disgusting person!"
He was agitated, and Fei Han frowned.
Chang Yue seemed to be thinking about something, his gaze fixed on an unknown spot on the wall, his expression filled with sorrow: "I worked so hard to learn from the former elder, I put in so much effort just to become an elder, but he always looked down on me. Even though you are the witch doctor's student, he still had to teach you how to handle internal affairs. That's fine, but he actually wanted to give you the position of elder as well!"
As he said this, he clenched his fist tightly.
Fei Han said, "I already told you, I don't want to be an elder."
"Yes, you don't want to be an elder because you want to be a witch doctor. You hope to take better care of that old man. If you become an elder, you won't be able to take care of him so easily..." Chang Yue smiled sarcastically, "But do you know what the elders and the Beast King are thinking because of your insistence? They are actually plotting to break the rules and make you serve as both a witch doctor and an elder at the same time. And what about me? What have all my efforts over the years amounted to? What have all my hard work, my diligent study, and my constant pursuit of goals amounted to? Why can they just dismiss me like that!"
Fei Han frowned even more: "How do you know they want to break the rules? Is someone trying to mislead you, so..."
