Chapter 96 The Beast is very wronged
Hongyuan was happily clutching the time shuttle when he suddenly felt an invisible hand grab his neck.
He was being pinched so hard his eyes rolled back, and he couldn't even make a sound.
Hongyuan was completely bewildered as to why he had suffered such an undeserved calamity. In desperation, he instinctively cried out for help to Xi'er.
Suddenly, Xi'er heard Hong Yuan's cries for help in her mind. She looked over and realized that he was being bound by an invisible force.
The little animal was thrashing its limbs and rolling its eyes, clearly being choked and about to suffocate.
Although she didn't understand why Hongyuan was acting this way, looking around, besides her, only Ye Tanji was left.
"Ahem! Um... Palace Master of Night Pool, please release A-Yuan first, okay? He's still young and doesn't know any better. If he has offended you in any way, I will apologize on his behalf." Xi'er carefully chose her words.
As for Ye Tanji, she could only sense that he meant her no harm, but after all, he was the high and mighty Lord of Ye Tan Palace, the one with the highest status in the entire Yun Yuan Shang Jing.
She dared not presume to know his moods. Those in power are always quite capricious, and if Hongyuan really offended him, she wouldn't dare to confront him directly.
If you can't win a fight, you can only choose to take a roundabout approach.
Ye Tanji's anger intensified when he saw Xi'er pleading for this shameless, scheming beast.
However, he still had his rationality and knew that if he killed Hongyuan without giving a proper explanation, Xi'er would definitely hate him.
If he were to cause her to develop a grudge against him, it would be a loss for him.
Thinking of this, he let go and threw the little male beast to the ground.
Then he said coldly, "A peerless divine weapon, is it something a little beast like you can just touch?"
Hongyuan felt wronged. What's wrong with touching something, no matter how high-end it is? It won't break at all, okay?
But this human was too strong, and he didn't dare to argue. Otherwise, the next time he made a move, he probably wouldn't even give him a chance to struggle and would just strangle him to death.
Xi'er also felt that Ye Tanji's excuse was too perfunctory, but she didn't dare to refute it casually.
So she could only smile and say, "Hong Yuan was just curious, please don't be angry. I know you put a lot of effort into forging this peerless weapon, which is why you care so much about it."
"Hongyuan, quickly apologize to Palace Master Yetan. He's a magnanimous man and certainly won't hold a grudge against a mere cub like you," Xi'er said, turning to Hongyuan.
Hearing Xi'er's words, Hong Yuan felt an overwhelming sense of grievance.
He hadn't done anything wrong, so why did that damned palace master try to strangle him right away?
But Xi'er wouldn't speak up for him; instead, she wanted him to apologize to the Palace Master.
Hong Yuan was both angry and aggrieved. In a moment of impulsiveness, he let out a "woof" and used the Earth Escape Technique to disappear.
Although Ye Tanji could have used magic to prevent him from escaping, he didn't want to see this cunning beast at the moment, so he pretended not to see him and let him escape.
Only after Hongyuan had walked far away did Ye Tanji turn to look at Xi'er, his eyes fixed on her with deep gaze.
The latter had no idea what he meant, let alone understand the complex meaning in his eyes, and could only stare blankly at him, waiting for him to speak.
Ye Tanji took a deep breath and finally calmed down. Then he raised his hand and cast several cleansing spells on Xi'er.
He wanted to completely eliminate the traces left by the scheming beast on Xi'er.
When he smelled the sweet milky scent on Xi'er, his mood finally brightened, and he put on a kind smile.
Throughout the entire ordeal, Xi'er had no idea why he was angry, or why he was no longer angry.
