Fortunately, the whip was stopped just before it was about to strike Yi Yi's face. But as a result, Yi Yi's arm was struck solidly by the whip, instantly tearing open the skin and drawing blood, even staining the whip bright red.
"Yiyi..."
In a moment of panic, Chen Dudu intended to protect Yi Yi, but accidentally fell off the bed and struggled several times without being able to get up.
Mao Mao walked over, grabbed Chen Dudu's clothes with its teeth, and pulled him back to the bed.
"Mao Mao, don't stop me! Can't you see Yi Yi is in danger? I have to go save her!"
Chen Dudu tried to get out of bed again, but was quickly dragged back by Mao Mao.
Mao Mao: Of course I know Yi Yi is in danger, but if you go and cause trouble, it will be even more dangerous. Seriously, can't you all give me a break!
Yi was whipped, the pain was excruciating, and for a second or two her mind went blank, she was momentarily dazed. While she was in that dazed state, several more whips and sticks fell on her body. Her flesh felt as if it had been torn apart, and after the intense pain came numbness.
In a daze, I seemed to hear Chen Dudu's worried shouts, Mao Mao's low growls, Yu'er's pleading, the clansmen's indignant cries, and Grandma Arno's ruthless command.
"Beat her until she admits her mistake."
"We, the spirit fox clan, are pure and upright, and we will never associate with humans, such treacherous, cunning, and vicious creatures. Let me tell you, anyone who dares to harbor humans or bring them into the jungle, this... will be their fate!"
"Keep going... Don't stop! Don't show any mercy! Anyone who dares to be lenient with Yi is her accomplice and my grandmother Arno's enemy!"
"You lot, quickly carry that man over here, put him on the execution platform, and prepare to set him on fire immediately!"
Just moments before, Yi Yi had been in a daze, almost numb, but when she heard Grandma Arno say that she was going to take Mu Nanxun away, she instantly snapped back to reality. Her cold gaze was like a knife, fiercely piercing her subordinate who was swinging his fist at her.
The henchman hesitated for a second, and Yi Yi seized the opportunity to raise her leg high and kick him hard. That's how the henchman's punch avoided landing on her.
"No one...no one is allowed to take Mumu away..."
Due to the prolonged fight and numerous injuries all over her body, Yi Yi's voice sounded somewhat weak.
Grandma Arno slammed her cane down in anger and said, "They're hopeless! How could my Spirit Fox Clan produce such a foolish traitor?"
Yu'er still felt a pang of pity and knelt down to plead, "Grandma Arno, please tell them to stop fighting. If they keep fighting, Yi will die."
"She brought it on herself," Jiang Shanshan said sarcastically. "Everyone saw it. Grandma gave her chances, but she insisted on going against her and associating with those cunning humans. Even if she were beaten to death, she deserved it."
"Jiang Shanshan, how could you be so cruel? Yi Yi is our comrade, and we spend every day together. How could you say something like 'she deserved to be beaten to death'?"
"Me, ruthless? Ha! I wonder who it is that pretends to be a good friend, willing to go to great lengths for a friend, but behind your back, they betray their friend for their own benefit. Compared to you, I can't bear the word 'ruthless'."
