At this point, Arno's gaze fell on Mu Nanxun.
Yi Yi had a bad feeling and gripped Mu Nanxun's arm tightly with both hands.
"But this human... I must kill him!"
The old shaman hurriedly stopped him, "No, you've already killed so many people over the years, you can't continue down this wrong path."
“Old witch doctor, this is not up to you. This man has trespassed into our home and deserves to die.”
“Grandma Arno, Mumu didn’t hurt the spirit fox, never…” Yi Yi hurriedly defended Mu Nanxun, speaking too quickly and accidentally choking, coughing repeatedly. “Mumu… cough cough cough, Mumu is fine, if it weren’t for him… cough cough cough…”
"Yi Yi, don't talk." Mu Nanxun's eyebrows were furrowed, and he gently patted Yi Yi's back to soothe her.
Yi shook her head, refusing to stop. "Grandma Arno... if it weren't for Mumu, Chen Dudu and I would have been discovered in the human world, and might even be research subjects now, and wouldn't even be alive... I guarantee... Mumu would never tell anyone about us, and no one would bother us..."
“Yes, Yi Yi is right. Mu Nanxun won’t betray us…”
“No,” Grandma Arno refused without hesitation. “Only fools like you would believe the sweet lies of humans. My sister Asha fell in love with that human, and he sang sweet nothings. But what happened? In the end, Asha was betrayed by him. He fell in love with another woman, and my sister was heartbroken.”
Not only that, that man even told his new lover that my sister wasn't human, but a monster! They...they..."
Grandma Arno was so angry that she was trembling and couldn't continue speaking.
This matter has been buried in my heart for so many years, but whenever it is brought up, I still can't stop feeling angry and resentful.
Having learned from Asha's experience, she hated humans all her life and wished they were all dead! So, over the years, she had not spared any human who had intentionally or unintentionally wandered into the jungle, and had them all tortured to death.
They even used men's blood to feed a ferocious spider, eventually turning it into something neither human nor ghost...
“Yes, that man is despicable…” Yi Yi argued, “But Mu Mu, he’s different…”
“Nothing’s different!” Arno shouted. “In my eyes, all humans are synonymous with cunning and cruelty. Even if he’s nice to you now and won’t abandon you, it doesn’t mean he’ll be nice to you forever. I can’t risk the lives of my people, so this man… must die!”
Grandma Arno, leaning on her cane, walked a few steps to Mu Nanxun.
The bottom of her cane popped open, revealing a sharp weapon.
"Grandma Arno..." Yi Yi stood in front of Mu Nanxun.
Mu Nanxun placed Yi Yi on the ground, stood up, and looked directly at Arno.
"You'll let Yi Yi go if I die, right?"
If that's the case, then it's worth it.
Arno was perhaps surprised that he would stand up so bravely and fearlessly, and a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
"Of course, Yi is my subject. Even if she was once stubborn and made mistakes, as long as she knows her mistakes and corrects them, and never associates with humans again, I will naturally forgive her and spare her life."
