Chapter 159.2: You're Mad
“Our actions today will undoubtedly be cursed by the Snake-People Tribe!”
“But for the sake of the Snake-People Tribe, even if we become sinners, so what?!”
“Moreover, it’s not just us who will become criminals; you might as well!”
“On what grounds can you guarantee that Xiao Yan will never threaten the Snake-People Tribe in the future?!”
“I know! You believe in Xiao Li, and that’s why you believe in Xiao Yan!”
“But you need to understand! Xiao Li and his younger brother are ultimately 2 different individuals!!!”
Kui Xing’s words silenced Yue Mei.
She couldn’t argue.
If they killed Xiao Yan today, Yin Shi and the others would undoubtedly become the villains written in the history books of the Snake-People Tribe. Because they killed Xiao Yan, the Snake-People Tribe would have to struggle in the harsh conditions of the sandy desert for another few hundred years.
But if they spared Xiao Yan, leading to a future where Xiao Yan grew up and posed a threat, or even enslaved the Snake-People Tribe, what would be the result?
At that time, Yue Mei would become a criminal. It was she, disregarding the opposition of other Tribe Leaders, who insisted on protecting Xiao Yan, the future formidable opponent!
The future was uncertain, and living in the present, they could only make judgments based on their current understanding.
Yin Shi, Kui Xing, and the others were doing just that.
And so was Yue Mei!
“If Xiao Yan does harm to the Snake-People Tribe in the future, then being cursed as a criminal is something I deserve!”
“But no matter what! I will let him leave alive!”
“Even if it costs my life as an exchange!!!”
Yue Mei roared madly, leaving Kui Xing momentarily stunned.
The next moment, Yue Mei fiercely threw Xiao Yan forward, then swiftly turned around and struck Kui Xing heavily with a palm, pushing him back.
Yue Mei, thrown ahead, flapped the wings of purple clouds and stared at Xiao Yan in astonishment.
Reaching out, trying to say something.
“You…”
“Go! Don’t stop for a moment!”
Yue Mei roared at Xiao Yan in anger, then looked at Yin Shi and the others who were catching up. Her expression was filled with determination, and the terrifying Dou Qi belonging to a Dou Wang (Battle King, 6th Level) erupted from her body. She took on a posture ready to fight to the death!
“Come on! Today, I, Yue Mei, will stake my life!!!”
“If you want to catch Xiao Yan, step over my corpse!!!”
Watching the eruption of Dou Qi from Yue Mei, Yin Shi and the others, who had caught up, showed expressions of disbelief. Staring at Yue Mei with shock and anger.
“Yue Mei!!! Have you gone mad?!!!”
For a little information heard from another Human, you’re willing to risk your life to protect this kid you just met?!
“I’m not mad, Tribe Leader Yin Shi.” Yue Mei’s eyes revealed determination as she stared at Yin Shi. “I know better than anyone what I’m doing right now!”
The future threat posed by Xiao Yan was not a consideration for Yue Mei at this moment!
Even the future reconciliation between the Snake-People Tribe and Humans was of secondary importance.
In Yue Mei’s mind at this moment, there was only one thought.
If she watched Xiao Li’s brother die at the hands of Yin Shi and the others, and she didn’t do everything in her power to protect him, then she was certain she would never have the face to meet Xiao Li, her friend, again!
