She never imagined that her grandmother, who had always loved her so dearly, would disregard her life or death just to kill a human being.
Mu Nanxun had long, cold eyebrows, and his expression gradually became serious. His deep eyes slowly filled with icy coldness, and just one glance was enough to send chills down one's spine.
Jiang Shanshan, held in his arms, felt the terror of death for the first time, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Even Arno, who considered himself to have seen it all, felt a chill because of Mu Nanxun's gaze.
What do you want to do?
As soon as he finished speaking, the tribesmen behind Arno raised their weapons of varying lengths, some pointing them at Yi Yi and Chen Dudu, and others at Mu Nanxun.
"Let me tell you, you'd better not make any rash moves, otherwise, my people are not to be trifled with. In that case, you will all die!"
"Then let's try. I, Mu Nanxun, swear here and now..." The man's voice was firm and resolute, his cold gaze like a sharp weapon, piercing directly at each person. He spoke slowly, word by word, "If Yi Yi fails to deliver today, I will use all the power of the Mu family to raze your homes to the ground. No matter where you are, to the ends of the earth, I will not let you go. All your clansmen will not have a good end!"
His words didn't sound like a joke at all.
In fact, every word he said seemed to possess a kind of charm, making it impossible not to believe him.
They looked at each other, none of them doubting that Mu Nanxun was lying, and none of them dared to doubt his strength.
Using the entire race to perish is too high a price to pay.
Mu Nanxun's warning had an effect; the tribesmen who had been charging at them with weapons raised in a menacing manner stopped and dared not make any rash moves.
Upon hearing Mu Nanxun's promise with her own ears, tears streamed down Yi Yi's face, blurring her vision.
She couldn't understand. Neither she nor Mu Nanxun had done anything wrong, nor had they hurt anyone. They were simply in love and wanted to be together, so why were they facing so many obstacles? Why did the person she loved most have to be at odds with the family she grew up with, forcing her to choose only one?
Taking the opportunity, Jiang Shanshan pleaded, "Grandma, did you hear that? He... he not only wants to kill me, but also all of our people. We are no match for humans. I believe you don't want our race to be destroyed, do you? So Grandma, please let them go. From now on, we'll have nothing to do with them and go our separate ways, won't that be better?"
"Yes, Grandma Arno, let them go. Yi Yi and Chen Dudu didn't do anything terribly wrong, they just need to be taught a lesson."
“That’s right. We’ve always lived in peace with humans. As long as this person promises not to reveal our identities, we can let him go.”
"Our entire race is the most important. We can't act impulsively, Grandma Arno. We can't put the lives of our race at risk just because of a fight."
"..."
Everyone chimed in, and most of the tribe agreed to release the man. Only Arno remained silent.
"Grandma, say something! He really will kill us!" Jiang Shanshan shouted anxiously.
Arno glared at her and raised his hand to stop the tribesmen from continuing their discussion.
"Listen to me, everyone! Our Spirit Fox Clan is a noble race, and we will never allow a mere human to lead us by the nose! There's nothing more to say. Since Yi Yi and the others are so stubborn with this human, I will grant their wish and let them die together!"
