Chapter 182: Leaving

  

No matter what the king cobra said, Sang Ye was unmoved and insisted on not following him.

The cobra narrowed his eyes, his dangerous gaze landing on the little female behind Sang Ye. It slowly said, “Are you unwilling to return to the demon tribe with me because of this little female? Have you already become mates?”

Sang Ye replied straightforwardly, “Yes.”

Huanhuan felt that the king cobra’s gaze was extremely cold. When he looked at her, she felt as though her bones were almost frozen.

However, the other party was Sang Ye’s elder, after all. Although Huanhuan was afraid, she still mustered her courage and stammered.

“H-Hello, I’m Huanhuan. Sang Ye and I are truly in love. If you don’t mind, you can come to our house as a guest when you’re free in the future. We’ll welcome you very much.”

However, the king cobra asked gloomily, “How dare you invite a demon to your house? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill your entire family?”

“You’re Sang Ye’s family, which means you’re my family. I believe you won’t be ruthless to your own family.”

“That’s not necessarily true.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the king cobra suddenly darted out like a bolt of lightning!

Sang Ye quickly pounced forward to stop him, but he was sent flying by the king cobra’s tail!

The python fell hard into the snow. The wound on his back was torn open again, dripping with blood.

When he struggled to get up, he realized that the king cobra had already rolled Huanhuan up.

Sang Ye shouted, “Let go of her!”

The cobra’s tongue swept across Huanhuan’s face as he said slowly, “What a delicious little female. You’ll definitely be very delicious.”

Huanhuan’s internal organs were almost displaced by the snake’s tail.

She was pale with pain and could barely breathe.

The lotus flower that had been quietly resting on her head suddenly sprang up. It opened and bit fiercely at the king cobra!

The king cobra didn’t dodge and directly bit the lotus’ branch!

His sharp fangs pierced the branch, and the lotus’ pink petals immediately turned pale gray as if they were about to wither at any moment.

The cobra then spat it to the ground.

The lotus tried to get up several times, but it couldn’t. A few petals fell, and it let out a low whine. “Mom…”

Sang Ye rushed forward to save her, but before he could touch the king cobra, he was swept up by an invisible gust of wind and sent flying again.

The wound on the snake’s back was torn. Blood fell to the snow, forming patches.

The king cobra sneered. “Look, this is the fragile physique of ordinary beasts. They can be easily destroyed. The bodies of demons are stronger, so hurry up and return to the demon tribe with me. I’ll make you stronger.”

Sang Ye struggled to get up. Due to the loss of blood, his vision was already blurry.

There was only one thought left in his mind—

He had to save Huanhuan!

The python pounced at the king cobra again, his tail leaving a trail of blood on the snow.

The king cobra’s beast soul attribute was wind, and his strength was far higher than Sang Ye’s.

In the king cobra’s eyes, Sang Ye’s actions were no different from courting death.

The cobra stood rooted to the ground without moving, but a gust of wind sent Sang Ye flying again.

This repeated several times, and the python’s body was about to collapse.

Huanhuan’s eyes turned red with heartache. She endured the pain and shouted, “Go! Leave me alone!”

However, Sang Ye could no longer hear anything. He only knew that he had to pounce on the king cobra again and again. He wanted to save the little female.

The king cobra’s patience was finally exhausted. He said impatiently, “Alright, if you move again, I’ll kill this little female!”

These words hit Sang Ye’s soft spot. He finally regained a trace of rationality and stopped.

The cobra said, “I’ll give you one last chance. Either you return to the demon tribe with me, or I’ll kill your mate now. There’s no third option. Choose!”

Sang Ye did not respond for a long time.

He neither wanted to return to the demon tribe nor see Huanhuan die.

“Don’t think about stalling for time. I’ll count to three. If you still don’t make a choice, I’ll kill her!” The cobra exerted a little more force. Huanhuan immediately felt that her ribs were about to break!

She gritted her teeth and refused to shout.

A trace of blood trickled down the corner of her mouth.

“One!”

“Two!

Seeing that Huanhuan was about to be suffocated by the cobra, Sang Ye finally couldn’t take it anymore and made his last choice.

“I’ll go back with you. Don’t hurt her!”

The king cobra saw how obedient Sang Ye was now and said in satisfaction, “Very good. This will be the smartest choice you make in your life.”

Sang Ye said anxiously, “Let her go!”

The king cobra lowered his head and looked at the dying female. His voice was low and cold. “You’re a very cute female. If I were 20 years younger, I might have taken a fancy to you too.”

Huanhuan felt that even breathing hurt.

She endured the pain and begged weakly, “Don’t take Sang Ye away…”

“He doesn’t belong on the beast continent. I’m bringing him back to the demon tribe for his own good. If you really love him, you should let him go.”

The cobra gently lowered her to the snow. “Stay here and wait for your mates to save you. As for Sang Ye… Forget him. It’ll be the best choice for you.”

Sang Ye had been staring at the cobra’s actions. Seeing that he had indeed let Huanhuan go, his hanging heart finally relaxed.

The king cobra looked back at him. “Let’s go.”

grayish-white beasts appeared from nowhere and stood neatly behind the king cobra.

Clearly, these beasts had been hiding nearby.

Even without the king cobra, Sang Ye might not have been able to escape with Huanhuan.

Huanhuan reached out with difficulty. “Sang Ye…”

Sang Ye looked at her one last time, his dark eyes filled with reluctance.

However, no matter how reluctant he was, he still had to leave with the king cobra.

Sang Ye was injured and could not move. The beasts dragged out a flat slab and pierced a hole in it with their claws. They put vines through the hole and made a simple sled.

The other end of the vines were tied around the necks of four beasts.

The python lay on the slab as the beasts dragged him along.

The king cobra looked back at Huanhuan. “My name is Han Ying. If we have the chance in the future, we might meet again.”

With that, he slithered away without looking back.

The other dozen or so beasts followed.

Before long, they were gone.

The lotus struggled to get up and moved to Huanhuan’s side. Its petals kept falling with every movement.

“Mom…”
