Chapter 209 209 Heir Selection (2)
From the moment he took out the jade, Si Yuan's eyes seemed to be expecting to see something from Xia Tian's eyes, just like he was holding bait to trap prey.
Perhaps people who have been in a superior position for a long time have become accustomed to looking down on the crowd. They are not deliberately showing their arrogance, but have become accustomed to thinking that the existence of such a gap in status is reasonable and that they are the ones in a superior position.
She was willing to respect him because of Si Ye, but that didn't mean she was willing to tolerate the disrespect he brought her. Her eyes drooped and her eyes became cold.
"I don't care what you have in your hand, because I don't care about your position. You look very unwell, and it seems that the city lord is not living... very well either?" Xia Tian's words were full of gunpowder, and she was completely mocking him, not being too polite.
But this was the limit of her patience. If she had met such a person in the past, she would have probably resorted to swordplay.
But since you are under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head and can only satisfy your craving for now.
"Hmm... You're really smart, and you know when to advance and when to retreat." Si Yuan remained calm, even a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "If you're not stupid, then you really don't value the position of City Lord. It's really strange... What's so bad about Dongfang City? Why don't you two look down on it?"
The middle-aged man shrugged his shoulders playfully after he finished speaking, seemingly not taking Xia Tian's words to heart. "No wonder Xiaoye accepted you to live in his territory. You are really special. Even I have never seen a female like you... Well, if his mother could be as strong as you..."
"Si Yuan, you are not worthy of mentioning my mother."
Si Ye's voice came from behind. Before Xia Tian could turn around, she felt something brushing against her cheek.
“Ouch—”
“Ouch—”
The two animal cries intertwined, and when she came to her senses, the man in front of her had disappeared, replaced by the scene of two snow leopards entangled in a fight.
She has been doing live broadcasts in the wild jungle for a long time, and it is common for her to encounter fights between wild beasts.
But this was probably the only time that the fight could be so brutal and cruel.
The two snow leopards are more than three meters long, with sharp teeth and claws.
The one with brown-grey spots is Si Ye's beast form, and the other one is thin with snow-white fur, which should be the beast form of the middle-aged orc.
It was obvious that every move Si Ye made was a killing move, and blood was drawn as soon as he attacked.
These can be used directly against prey, but now they are all used on this person who looks like he is most likely his elder.
The orcs attach great importance to bloodline and kinship. The person who can make him so cruel as to use a killing move...tsk tsk tsk tsk, it seems that the grudge is not ordinary.
On the other side, perhaps because of its age or intentional slackness, the snow-white leopard made almost no aggressive moves. It was just defending itself from getting hurt and did not cause any substantial harm to Si Ye.
The fight between the two snow leopards was so loud that all the surrounding birds and animals scattered.
Xia Tian felt the ground shaking while standing nearby. In order to prevent herself from being accidentally injured, she cleverly retreated to a safe area, not forgetting to take the purple sweet potato tubers that had not yet been planted.
These are her future food sources. What if they get injured?
