Chapter 119: Dissolution of the Engagement
The powder in the two people's mouths was the powder used by the tribe to drive away wild beasts.
This powder has always been sprinkled around the tribe to prevent wild beasts from invading.
Most wild animals will automatically leave when they smell this scent, which is equivalent to building an invisible wall.
Wen Li heard that the medicinal powder from the neighboring tribe was quite famous, and wild beasts would not come near just by smelling the scent.
But now, those beasts can actually ignore the powder and invade their tribe...
There's something a little weird about this matter.
"Is it possible that the medicine powder has lost its effect?" Wen Li guessed.
The witch doctor nodded thoughtfully. "That's possible. But in all my life, this is the first time I've seen something like this."
"Ah... I heard that the invading beasts all exuded a foul odor, their eyes were bloodshot, and they looked like they were possessed."
The witch doctor said this, frowning.
Wen Li imagined what the witch doctor said, and the more he thought about it, the scarier it became, and he couldn't help but shiver.
"Is it so weird?" Wen Li swallowed.
"Of course." The witch doctor shook his head repeatedly, "I have a feeling that the world is about to change."
For some reason, he had been feeling this way particularly strongly recently, something he had never felt before.
A witch doctor always trusts his intuition.
It is this extraordinary intuition that has allowed him to avoid danger many times.
Just like when the earthquake happened, he always felt that something was wrong with staying in the cave, and he felt inexplicably uneasy, so he went out for a few walks.
Unexpectedly, an earthquake occurred just after we left.
Looking back, if he had stayed in the cave, he would have been crushed to death.
And now, this inexplicable uneasiness is gradually becoming stronger again.
Especially when he thought about what happened in the neighboring tribe, he felt inexplicably anxious.
Judging from the witch doctor's experience, things are definitely not that simple and something big is bound to happen.
Thinking of this, he seriously reminded Wen Li: "You should also be careful recently. I always feel that something bad is going to happen."
The witch doctor spoke with a serious expression. Wen Li listened and nodded thoughtfully.
The witch doctor's reminder reminded Wen Li of Meng Yu's words.
Meng Yu also told her yesterday what might happen in the near future, and was more specific.
Could it really come true?
Wen Li frowned, then looked at the witch doctor and asked, "What about you? What are your plans? If something really happens..."
The witch doctor was silent for a while: "I don't know..."
He didn't know what would happen, let alone how to deal with it.
I just have an uneasy feeling, but I have no idea what will happen.
He sighed, "We can only fight against the enemy with our own army and block the water with earth."
The two did not continue to talk about this topic.
Everything is unknown, and there is no point in talking about it.
Wen Li stayed with the witch doctor and finally treated five patients, completing her first points task.
Twenty points obtained!
Logically, Wen Li should be happy, but when she thought of what the witch doctor said, she felt more uneasy and her joy was diluted in an instant.
Wen Li returned home with a heavy heart and began to pack up some unnecessary things in the house.
After finishing the tidying up, she inexplicably felt that the uneasy feeling had dissipated a lot.
She didn't know how this worked, but she subconsciously thought: once the things were packed up, she could leave at any time.
Ultimately, Wen Li was worried that if she had to leave suddenly, all the things in her house would be lost.
She had finally improved her living conditions and was reluctant to start all over again.
However, as time went on, the so-called danger did not appear, and everything in the village was back to normal.
After Arnold came back, everyone learned that the reason those strange beasts appeared in the neighboring tribe was because someone deliberately wiped off some of the medicine powder and lured the beasts in.
Ultimately, this disaster was man-made.
When Wen Li heard the news, she did not feel relieved, but felt even more weird.
Wen Li occasionally took time to visit Meng Yu.
Meng Yu was obviously preparing to leave, and she took her cousin's reminder very seriously.
When Wen Li went there again, Meng Yu's house had been almost cleaned up, leaving only some necessary items.
"When do you plan to leave?" Wen Li asked.
Meng Yu shook his head: "I don't know either."
Although all her things had been packed, she was still not ready to leave the tribe completely.
Everything is ready, just need a driving force.
She actually still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, thinking that things would not happen suddenly.
After all, it's been so long and nothing really happened.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it." Meng Yu sighed, "Let's wait and see. I'm not sure right now."
Her behavior seemed a bit willful, but fortunately, the beastly husbands were very considerate and did not complain at all. Instead, they helped her make plans and told her not to be anxious.
Wen Li sometimes envies Meng Yu.
Because her beastly husbands are so sensible.
Although he is not the strongest, he is caring, considerate and gentle.
In comparison, although her beastly husbands were also gentle and considerate, Wen Li always felt that they were hiding something from her.
The longer they were together, the stronger this feeling became, but they never mentioned it to her.
"Wen Li, your beast husband is here to pick you up."
The two were silent for a while, and then Meng Yu spoke.
Wen Li turned around and saw that it was Bai Yanci who came.
As the weather gradually warms up, Bai Yanci has awakened from hibernation.
Ever since he woke up yesterday, he has been sticking to Wen Li, and going out today is no exception.
"It's getting late, Wen Li, you should go back soon." Meng Yu said.
Wen Li came to Meng Yu this time to deliver something.
The crops grown in her space have begun to be harvested. This is the first batch of mature crops, and she specially sent them to Meng Yu to taste.
The advantage of the Shennong jade pendant is that the growth cycle of crops is extremely short.
In reality, it takes a long time for vegetables to be planted and harvested, but in the jade pendant space, it only takes three days at most.
At this rate, Wen Li believes that his warehouse will become fuller and fuller, and he will no longer have to worry about food in the future.
After saying goodbye to Meng Yu, Wen Li and Bai Yanci returned home together.
In this way, the days went on until the beginning of spring.
After winter, the family’s food reserves were almost used up, especially meat.
There is no need to worry about vegetables, as Wen Li's space can be used for continuous cultivation, and there will be new harvests every day.
Several beastmen also started going out hunting. Wen Li asked them to help catch some live pheasants or rabbits and raise them in the space.
The pasture in the space has been opened, and there are many small animals raised in it, which are her "reserve food".
The days seem to be getting better and better.
Wen Li felt that it would be nice to continue like this.
The only regret is that He Yan hasn't come back yet.
Wen Li was not sure whether he would come back.
After all, he had been gone for a long time.
At the beginning, the two of them only had a verbal agreement.
It has been some time since the beginning of spring, and He Yan is still nowhere to be seen. Perhaps he has forgotten her.
With the arrival of spring, the day to dissolve the engagement has also arrived.
From now on, Wen Li can officially cancel her engagements with her beastly husbands.
However, judging from the current situation, it seems that the beastly husbands have no intention of leaving her.
Despite this, Wen Li did not forget about this matter. For procedural reasons, she took the initiative to bring it up.
After dinner, Wen Li called over her several beastly husbands.
Several people sat around the table, their eyes turning to Wen Li with some doubt.
"What do you want to say?" Bai Yanci asked.
Wen Li coughed lightly, and under the gaze of several pairs of eyes, she slowly spoke: "It's time to sign the marriage contract."
The beastly husbands just looked at her silently, waiting for her next words.
Wen Li's eyes swept across everyone's faces. It was obvious that no one took this matter too seriously.
Because to them, it no longer matters.
Wen Li continued, "Uh...does anyone of you want to dissolve the engagement?"
As soon as she said this, she received several displeased looks.
Zhu Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Say it again?"
Bai Yanci frowned: "Did you do this on purpose?"
Pei Yu said: "I don't understand."
Xin Yuan coughed lightly and said nothing.
Wen Li's gaze finally fell on Shen Yihe.
Among these beastly husbands, the one she was most unsure about was Shen Yihe.
During this period, their relationship progressed and their affection for each other continued to grow, but Wen Li could never see through him and didn't know what he really thought.
"What about you?" Wen Li asked Shen Yihe.
Shen Yihe had been silent since dinner and looked very worried.
He has been like this lately.
Wen Li was certain of the intentions of the other beastly husbands, but she could never understand Shen Yihe.
Hearing Wen Li's question, Shen Yihe raised his eyes and glanced at her.
The moment she met his gaze, Wen Li's heartbeat inexplicably quickened, and she suddenly became nervous for some reason.
The air was stagnant for a moment, and no one spoke anymore. They just looked at Wen Li and Shen Yihe in silence.
The atmosphere became increasingly tense, and Wen Li clearly caught a flicker of struggle in Shen Yihe's eyes, and suddenly had the answer in her heart.
At this moment, an unfamiliar feeling of soreness and swelling invaded her heart, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Finally, Shen Yihe spoke.
He looked at Wen Li and said softly, "I want to cancel the engagement."
“…”
Although all this was within Wen Li's expectations, she still felt very uncomfortable when she really heard Shen Yihe say this.
Perhaps, she also cared about Shen Yihe a little bit.
Wen Li's expression was slightly stiff. She forced a smile and said lightly, "Okay."
She agreed very readily.
Shen Yihe's heart choked, and he glanced at her, unable to describe his complicated feelings at the moment.
She agreed so readily, he should be happy, but why does he feel so sad?
Shen Yihe pursed his lips.
The others looked at him in shock. They didn't expect him to take the initiative to propose to dissolve the engagement.
"Chen Yihe, are you crazy?" Pei Yu shouted.
Pei Yu didn't understand why he wanted to cancel the engagement. He obviously liked Wen Li too, didn't he?
Chen Yihe lowered his eyebrows and said nothing.
"Don't worry, I will respect your choice." Wen Li stood up and glanced at the other beast husbands, "Anyone else?"
None of them said anything, and it was obvious that they had already made their stance clear.
"So only one person wants to dissolve the engagement," Wen Li said, "Then let's go to the witch doctor tomorrow to handle it."
Even if you want to dissolve a marriage, you still need to go through some procedures.
In the Beast World, when getting married, the witch doctor will mix the female's blood with herbal juice and carve a symbol on the male's body. This is the marriage contract.
If a male has this mark on his body, it means that he belongs to someone and is someone's bestial husband.
The same applies to dissolving a marriage contract.
The witch doctor will use some kind of herbal juice mixed with the female's heart blood to cover the original tattoo on the male's body.
After the coverage is complete, the contract between the two will be completely terminated, and they will have nothing to do with each other from then on.
Early the next morning, Wen Li and Shen Yihe went to the witch doctor.
Wen Li usually doesn't come so early, and the witch doctor has just finished breakfast.
After seeing Wen Li, he was stunned for a moment, "You came so early today."
After saying that, he noticed Shen Yihe behind Wen Li.
He could clearly sense that the atmosphere between the two was unusual.
Furthermore, Wen Li and Shen Yihe both had serious expressions. The witch doctor asked curiously, "What's wrong with you two?"
Wen Li directly stated her purpose: "I hope you can help us dissolve our engagement."
"?"
The witch doctor was stunned for a moment, looked at Wen Li, and then looked at Shen Yihe: "Cancel the engagement? Are you serious?"
Before Wen Li could answer, Shen Yihe nodded and said, "Seriously."
Wen Li pursed her lips, and that inexplicable feeling of discomfort came up again.
It was as if Shen Yihe couldn't wait to get rid of her.
Wen Li replied unwillingly, "Of course I'm serious. Let's lift it now."
When Shen Yihe heard her words, the corners of his lips twitched, and finally he squeezed out a sound from his nose: “Yeah.”
"Are you sure you don't want to reconsider this?" the witch doctor advised kindly.
He didn't understand why the two of them suddenly wanted to break up their engagement when they were clearly getting along just fine. "Fought? You can always make up after a fight. There's no need to make such a big fuss."
"Don't think about it," Wen Li said seriously, "We've already agreed on this."
Both of them were very determined, and the witch doctor didn't know what to say.
He sighed, motioned for the two to sit and wait outside the cave, and he turned around to get his tools.
"Arnold, go get the silver needle for me." said the witch doctor.
Arnold was sorting herbs at this time. When he heard the witch doctor's words, he stopped what he was doing and asked curiously, "Who is getting married?"
Usually, when someone gets married, the witch doctor will ask Arnold to help him get the silver needle.
The witch doctor's expression was strange no matter how he looked at it. He shook his head slightly and said, "It's not a marriage, it's a dissolution of the engagement."
Arno was also stunned when he heard this: "Who wants to cancel the engagement?"
Most males will not think of dissolving the marriage after marrying a female unless something particularly outrageous happens.
Usually such things will become known to everyone in the tribe.
But this has not happened recently.
Arnold deftly took out the tools from the cabinet, disinfected them briefly, and handed them to the witch doctor.
The witch doctor answered his previous question at this time.
"Wen Li."
After saying this, Arnold was also stunned.
"ah?"
