Chapter 314 Poor acting skills
The screams startled the beastmen guarding outside, who immediately rushed in with sharp blades in hand. But instead of looking at their wives, they sternly questioned Xixi, "You wretch! My wife kindly reminded you and gave you advice, and you not only didn't appreciate it, but you even attacked her! Bah!"
Driven by her kind instincts, Xixi was about to help Iris up when she heard this, but she pushed Iris away, sending her sprawling to the ground.
You didn't accuse me of assault? Then I'll make that accusation true. The young city lord is my beast husband. With him protecting me, who am I afraid of?
If they've already covered up a serious crime like killing a female, why are they afraid of this baseless accusation?
Unfortunately, the scene that Xixi had envisioned—the young city lord standing up for her—did not occur. Instead, Iris struggled to her feet, ignoring the pain from her wounds, and hurriedly waved her hand to stop her, saying, "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, Xixi didn't hurt me!"
“My lady, we all saw it with our own eyes, so please stop talking about her. A female with such a vicious heart deserves to be boiled in oil! Why should we care about her?” The group’s words were as if they had been rehearsed, and they spoke in unison, without any difference from her.
Xi Xi's lips twitched; this was like crushing her intelligence into the ground!
Even if you're acting, you don't have to be so affected. It's so cringeworthy!
Iris, however, did not cooperate. Instead, she drew her whip from her waist, lashed it hard against the ground, and cursed, "Get out!"
The beast husbands were dumbfounded. This scene was clearly beyond the script outline. But seeing that their wife was really angry, they all turned around and ran away. They didn't dare to say a word more than necessary while running away. They ran away as fast as they could!
Once the beastmen had all run away, Iris calmed down, forced herself to fix her makeup, and gave an awkward smile. She turned to Xixi and said, "Did I scare you?"
"Heh, not really. Haven't you always been like this?" Thinking back to the first night after leaving Clownfish Village, just because of a meal from Little White, she was so jealous that she hung up Beastman and whipped him until he bled profusely. This little threat is nothing compared to that!
As if she hadn't caught the implication in Xixi's words, Iris maintained her fake smile and continued, "Getting back to the point, the reason I'm here is to tell you that I will always stand by your side in your conflict with Han Sui, and I will help you!"
Ah!
Xi Xi rolled her eyes so hard they were practically pointing to the sky, but she still managed to resist the urge to kick them out. She really wanted to know what else the other person was planning to do!
She's afraid she won't be able to sleep tonight if this mystery isn't solved!
Iris, automatically ignoring Xixi's disdain, said mysteriously, "I lied to her about her beast husband. There's a canyon a hundred miles north of Yunyao City where there's a miraculous fruit. If Han Sui takes it, he'll be cured! Oh, by the way, you probably don't know, but perhaps because she took in too many beast husbands in just a few days, she's hurt her body. She's been sleeping more and waking up less these past few days, and when she does wake up, she doesn't say anything, just blinks her eyes."
Knowing the inside story, Xixi sighed, "It's hard to believe that Iris is still trying to make amends for Han Sui at this time. He's taken in too many beastmen, which has hurt his health. Tsk tsk... Look at what she said, she's really good at it!"
But she didn't delve into these details, only asking, "After her husband finds out, he will naturally go back, but Han Sui may not go. You also said that she sleeps more and wakes up less."
“I said that the fruit must be picked and eaten immediately to be effective; if it is delayed, it will be useless! So, when I arrived, they had already carried Han Sui out of the city, and they should be out of the city by now.”
Looking at the smug iris, Xixi couldn't help but sigh, "This ability to spout nonsense is truly exceptional!"
To convince the beastmen that this was true, it must have taken much more than just a few sentences; the effort involved was definitely considerable!
Seeing that Xixi hadn't made a move yet, Iris urged, "You'd better hurry. The city gates are heavily guarded now, and the young city lord is her beast husband. If you want to chase after him and take revenge, you must come up with a safe way! However, as long as you can get out of there and escape the laws of Yunyao City, the world is wide open, and killing Han Sui shouldn't be a problem for you!"
“It’s not a problem, of course, but as you said, the city gates are heavily guarded, and the young city lord is her beast-bearer, so it won’t be easy for us to chase after her and take revenge. In that case… we might as well follow your group and act as your beast-bearers.” With that, Xixi pointed to a few beast-bearers, “Kunhai stays, the rest of you go!”
“Alright, I’ve just taken in a few new beast husbands, but they haven’t been officially recognized yet, so I’ll pretend to be them!” As she spoke, she took out several masks and identity cards, clearly having prepared them in advance.
Then he looked at Xixi, "Aren't you going?"
Looking at the mask in her hand, it was clear that this one was prepared specifically for her; she was truly well-prepared!
Xixi laughed, "What would I do? Can't I fight? Is the barbecue not good enough, or is there not enough charcoal? In this freezing weather, would I go outside and stand in the cold wind? Am I crazy?" With that, she sat back down and lazily warmed herself by the fire.
Iris glared hatefully at Xixi. If looks could kill, Xixi would have been pierced by a thousand arrows by now.
But Xixi seemed oblivious and urged, "Aren't we in a hurry? Aren't you leaving yet?"
"Yes, we're in a hurry, let's go now!" Iris said through gritted teeth.
I'll let you be smug for a few more days. Once all your beastly husbands are dead, let's see what you'll have left to be so smug about!
Kunhai? I've never seen this person before. He must be a new beast mate I've taken in these past few days!
Hmph, look at him, all meek and obedient, wearing an apron, he must be a chef at some restaurant!
They really know how to enjoy life! To satisfy their appetites, they even took the cook as their beastly husband!
However, when Iris reached the door, she was surprised to find that the beastmen of Xixi did not move.
She couldn't help but turn around and urge them, "What are you waiting for? Do you want me to invite you?"
This tone was exactly the same as when she was scolding her own beastly husband!
Unfortunately, the beastmen of Xixi were all outstanding individuals, and having been instilled with Xixi's egalitarian ideology, they didn't even spare her a glance at this moment.
Xixi explained with a smile, "You guys go first, you have to give us time to pack our things!"
Iris wanted to say, "What else do we need to tidy up?" But then she thought, "Haste makes waste." If she acted too hastily and the other party noticed something was wrong, then all her efforts would be in vain!
So she softened her tone, "Alright, then I'll wait for you at the city gate. You'd better hurry over!"
Xixi curled her lips slightly, as a kind of response.
As soon as she left, everyone destroyed the masks in their hands in various ways.
"How so?" Xixi asked curiously, pointing to the wreckage on the ground.
"I can't quite explain it, but this thing gives me a really weird feeling; it's not a good thing!"
