His expression was filled with regret as he slowly unpacked the knot that had been buried deep in his heart for so many years: "I was ostracized in my family. I 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. I wanted to use herbs to improve my physique and increase my strength."
The witch doctor in Beast City was a money-hungry man. He would not pay any attention to Wangye at all. However, the witch doctor's successor at that time, the extremely talented Feihan, was a good target.
He deliberately stole Fei Han's herbs and pretended to help him find them back. The two got to know each other because of this, and their relationship became better and better. Fei Han was just as he expected, and was willing to use herbs to treat him and help him strengthen his body even without paying a price.
He said that 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 was greatly improved, and he gradually became famous in the Beast City.
But the infant fruit is not that delicious. Wangye soon realized that something was wrong with his body. Not only did he have headaches and insomnia, but his temper became more and more irritable and moody. Feihan always thought that it was his own problem and that he should not have been allowed to eat the infant fruit so rashly.
But in fact, he was the one who said he wanted to improve his strength at the beginning, and he was also the one who took the initiative to eat the infant fruit. He was also the first person to know that he was abnormal. But for the sake of strength, after knowing 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 Feihan felt very guilty about it. He went to great lengths to help me quit my addiction and did his best to help me recover."
Yu Wanwan didn't expect that things between him and Feihan would be like this, and she couldn't help but be shocked.
"Feihan is my only friend and my dearest brother. After my father and mother passed away, I considered him my only relative. After learning that you were paired with him, I was afraid that you had bad intentions and would hurt Feihan, so I kept testing you, which is why I said those words to you yesterday." He paused, his expression more serious than ever before. "Wanwan, I'm sorry. You are a very good woman, and I was mean-spirited."
Yu Wanwan always thought that Wangye had some ulterior motive, but she didn't expect that Wangye was doing this out of love for Feihan and didn't want him to fall into this quagmire.
Yu Wanwan quickly said, "It's okay. You're doing this for Feihan's own good. I don't blame you."
Wangye smiled bitterly: "Perhaps you are right. A relationship with impure motives will never last long. That's why Feihan is unwilling to stay in Beast City. I deceived him and used him."
Yu Wanwan hadn't expected that her casual words would strike such a chord with Wangye. She said softly, "No, Feihan has always valued you very much. He treats you like his own brother. Don't be too sad. Even if we're not in Beast City anymore, you'll still be his most important relative."
Wangye looked at Yu Wanwan deeply and didn't speak for a long time.
He was really envious. He envied Feihan for being able to meet Yu Wanwan, become her partner, and be cared about by her.
From his test yesterday, he could clearly feel Yu Wanwan's appreciation and love for Feihan, so he could rest assured.
…
At this time, in the prison of the Beast King Palace.
Chang Yue held a jar in his hand and walked leisurely into the gloomy prison, finally stopping in front of a cell.
"Fei Han, are you okay?" He said these words with concern, but his face was full of gloating.
Inside the cell, a wounded young man fell to the ground, his long black hair spread messily on the ground, covering most of his face. Behind him were two pairs of red wings, which had lost their original luster and did not even have the strength to fold them. A spear was stuck in one of the wings, and blood was dripping down the spear onto the ground.
Hearing the noise, Feihan moved his body and raised his pale face.
Seeing him like this, Chang Yue sighed twice: "How pitiful! Lord Feihan, who was once so high and mighty, a child of destiny, can actually be so embarrassed. If your female saw this, she would probably think you are shameful and would not want you anymore."
Feihan's eyes were full of coldness.
"But I forgot. Your partner fell off a cliff with Wangye. I sent people to check. There was no trace of their body on the cliff. I wonder if you felt it. Is your bond broken?"
After saying this, Chang Yue laughed uncontrollably.
Hearing that they fell off the cliff, Fei Han tightened his grip and said viciously, "Chang Yue, don't be so arrogant!"
Chang Yue stopped laughing and looked at him with pity: "I'm not being arrogant, I just sympathize with you. Your partner is dead, the Beast King is dead, and soon you will die too."
He straightened his robes and squatted outside the cell. "I have found the next candidate for the Beast King. He will take the throne soon. When the time comes, you, a cold-blooded Beast Tribe spy and traitor who murdered the former Beast King, will be burned at the stake during the succession ceremony as a warning to others."
"Do you want to know who the next Beast King is? Oh, you don't need to know. You will meet him soon anyway."
Fei Han suddenly coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood foam: "Chang Yue, why did you do this? We grew up together, and you have already become an elder. What else is there to ask for?"
His words irritated Chang Yue, and he threw the jar in his hand to the ground, cursing, "Growing up together, becoming an elder? What do you know? I have worked so hard to become an elder now! Do you know how much you have gone too far? Do you know how I have lived these years? You are a bunch of hypocritical people, you only say nice things, but behind the scenes you are disgusting!"
He was so emotional that Fei Han frowned.
Chang Yue didn't know what he was thinking about. He looked at an unknown spot on the wall with a somewhat sad expression. "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. You are obviously the witch doctor's student, but he also wanted to teach you how to handle housework. Those are fine, but he actually wants to give you the position of elder as well!"
Having said that, he clenched his fists tightly.
Fei Han said: "I have already told you that 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 conveniently..." Chang Yue laughed sarcastically, "But do you know what the elders and the Beast King are thinking just because of your insistence? They are actually planning to break the rules and let you hold the positions of witch doctor and elder at the same time. And what about me? What are all my years of hard work? What are the goals I have been diligently studying and constantly pursuing? Why do you just deny me so casually!"
Fei Han frowned even tighter: "How do you know they want to break the rules? Is there someone who wants to confuse you, so..."
