Chapter 316: Be my mate (1)
"To get to this point and then fall apart like that, it's truly humiliating," he continued, his disappointment evident in his tone.
Malakai hung his head in shame, avoiding Yecha's disapproving gaze. Anger and frustration welled up inside him.
The man resembled Malakai, with piercing red eyes, but had flowing blonde hair that starkly contrasted with Malakai's dark hair.
"Yecha!!!"
Baihu roared loudly as she flew closer, her eyes blazing with fury at the unfolding situation.
"Oh, Madam Baihu, nice seeing you here," Yecha said, turning to address the woman.
"Do you freaking know what you just did!" Baihu seethed with contempt, angered by the unfolding events.
Baihu was containing her anger, her muscles tense and ready to strike, her temper barely under control.
"You have no idea what you just did!" she continued, her words cutting through the tense silence like a knife.
Yecha's expression didn't change as he stared back at Baihu, his jaw clenched in defiance.
"I just got rid of a bug that hurt my son, so I don't see anything wrong with what I did," Yecha replied coldly.
He didn't care about Baihu's warning or the anger simmering beneath her controlled exterior. All he cared about was protecting his son, even if it meant making enemies in the process.
So what if it was the last cultivator on earth? He just didn't care.
As the tension between them escalated, a man with a solemn expression appeared behind Baihu, adding to the charged atmosphere.
"Yecha, you shouldn't have done that."
"Shi Jia, do you see anything wrong with what I did?" he asked the man, his voice calm but firm.
"I did what I had to do. I don't care who that person was or what his relationship was with you. Since he dared to do that to my son, his only option was to die," Yecha continued, his defiance evident in his every word.
The aura of the 4th stage of the Nascent Soul Realm emanated from him.
It was clear that Yecha didn't care about the consequences of his actions, as long as he felt justified in seeking revenge for his son.
Shi Jia sighed, knowing that there was no changing Yecha's mind once he had made a decision.
It was a pity to lose the only cultivator capable of cultivating on earth. Since the deed was already done, it wouldn't be worth dwelling on the what-ifs.
"Y-You! That was the first cultivator on earth!"
Baihu's aura also exploded, not any inferior to Yecha's, causing the surrounding environment to change.
After all these years, she finally found a human cultivator, only to have him killed by Yecha in a fit of rage.
Baihu's heart ached with the loss of the potential partner. Maybe she could have fulfilled her mother's wish and even brought back the earth to its former glory.
It was not a surprise that she was seething with anger, her eyes blazing with fury as she looked at Yecha.
'Fuck!' Shi Jia cursed, seeing Baihu in such a state.
Unlike him, Baihu was not easy to persuade, and he knew with this woman's temper, a big fight was inevitable.
Shi Jia's face darkened upon hearing Baihu's words, realizing the gravity of the situation.
A fight between two Foundation Realms could already cause massive damage to this world; now, what about two Nascent Soul Realm experts going head-to-head?
The consequences could be disastrous.
The palm attack earlier was a great example. Shi Jia gazed at the place the palm landed, only to sigh, wondering how to fix it. Find your next read on M V L
The two small hills had already been flattened, leaving nothing but a big palm print in the ground.
'I can't allow this to happen, or that monster will definitely wake up,' Shi Jia thought to himself.
He knew he had to find a way to calm Baihu down before things escalated further and disaster struck.
"Both of you, calm down. Don't you think that you're going too far?"
His aura also shot out and suppressed both Baihu and Yecha, who were both visibly agitated. Baihu's ears bristled, and Yecha's eyes glowed with intensity. But Shi Jia wasn't easy to intimidate.
His cultivation was at the 5th Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, giving him the strength to face both.
"Shi—"
Baihu wanted to say something, but suddenly her nose started to twitch. She sniffed the air, her expression changing from anger to confusion, then excitement.
"Fine, I'll let it go for now. But don't think you've won," Baihu growled before turning and storming away.
"Huh?"
Both Yecha and Shi Jia looked at each other, equally confused by Baihu's sudden change in demeanor.
Yecha was already prepared to fight Baihu if necessary, but now she seemed to have lost interest.
Shi Jia, on the other hand, was intrigued by Baihu's actions.
He knew this woman better than most, and he could tell that when she had her mind set on something, she rarely backed down.
This sudden shift in attitude was definitely out of character for her.
As they watched her disappear into the distance, Shi Jia turned to Yecha and said, "I have something to do. I will take my leave, but Yecha, you better make sure your son does not cause any trouble."
"Don't worry, Shi Jia, I will keep a close eye on him," Yecha replied confidently.
Shi Jia scoffed inwardly at Yecha's assurance.
'Heh, bastard, this son of his is always causing trouble.'
Shi Jia already knew what Malakai was doing and how he was preying on weak humans and killing them, but he decided not to say anything since it didn't get overboard, so Shi Jia turned a blind eye to it.
"Good."
With that, Shi Jia also left.
"From tomorrow, you're staying home," Yecha instructed his son. "I don't want any trouble for a while."
Malakai nodded, with gritted teeth; he didn't have a choice but to obey his father's orders.
At least that bastard human was now dead, which made Malakai more relieved.
He looked at the palm print on the ground and felt a sense of satisfaction. There's no way a Foundation cultivator could survive this.
