Chapter 143 Driven Out Of The Tribe
The Beast Kings of the Beastman Continent generally weren’t young.
Even if they could obtain the Beast God Fruit by chance, they might still lose their life if they ate the Beast God Fruit when their level of strength hadn’t yet reached that of a high level Beast Warrior.
And those high level Beast Warriors generally weren’t young at all.
As for Shi Li? He wasn’t even twenty!
These days, Shi Li had caused a sensation in the area near the Beast God Temple. Many young people admired him a lot, and he also interacted with the youths of various large tribes, gaining prestige and admiration for his broad range of knowledge.
Shi Li had already regained his self-confidence from his previous life as he stood there with his head up and chest out.
Everyone around them couldn’t help but admire his current appearance–he was indeed worthy of being a Beast King. He looked so different from the others!
However, the people of the Big Bear Tribe didn’t think so.
The people who had come with Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji from the Big Bear Tribe to the Beastman Continent were basically all older than Xiong Ye. If they weren’t people who had watched Shi Li grow up, then they were people who had played with Shi Li as children. They had already seen Shi Li naked or embarrassed countless times.
Now, when they saw Shi Li with such a look, they felt very unaccustomed to it–this Shi Li really knew how to put on an act!
As for Shi Li being a Beast King… Zhou Ji had told them a long time ago that the Lion Beast King might be Shi Li, and they had already accepted this fact.
What was more, so what if Shi Li was a Beast King? Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji were also Beast Kings! Compared to Shi Li who had been too lazy to work even before he became a Beast King, they felt that it was better to be a Beast King like Xiong Ye or Hai Feng.
As for Zhou Ji… Not only was Zhou Ji a Beast King, he was also the Beast God’s messenger and needed to communicate with the Beast God. It must be very tiring, so it was very normal for him not to work…
Additionally, although Zhou Ji didn’t work, he had taught them how to farm the land and how to make pottery. He had contributed a lot!
By contrast, what did Shi Li amount to?!
When the people of the Big Bear Tribe looked at Shi Li, not only did they not show any surprise or regret, their gazes even held a little disgust.
Shi Li: “……” What kind of gazes were those?!
Shi Li felt that there was something wrong with this current development.
He thought that the people of the Big Bear Tribe hadn’t reacted because they didn’t understand the situation, so he could only reply to Zhu Zhan with, “Yes. I’m a Beast King now.”
Zhu Zhan answered with an ‘oh’, and didn’t speak further. Seeing that nobody else was speaking, Xiong Ye, as the tribal chief, could only offer up, “You’re very powerful.”
Shi Li: “……” Xiong Ye was clearly praising him, but why did it seem as though he wasn’t taking him very seriously?
“Oh right, you’re clearly doing ok after leaving, but you never came back. You’re already a Beast King, yet you didn’t come back to the tribe… You don’t need to come back at all in the future.” Xiong Ye continued.
“What did you say?” Shi Li stared at Xiong Ye incredulously.
“You don’t have to come back to the tribe in the future. Our tribe doesn’t have anyone like you.” Xiong Ye said.
Xiong Ye had decided long ago that if the Lion Beast King was Shi Li, he would drive him out of the tribe.
The Lion Beast King had already been a Beast King for a long time, but he hadn’t returned to check in on them for so long. It was clear that he didn’t take the tribe seriously at all, and their tribe didn’t need this kind of person.
Of course, other than that, he was also acting a little selfishly.
He could sense that Shi Li didn’t like Zhou Ji.
Back then, Shi Li hadn’t been well-intentioned when he deliberately mentioned Zhou Ji in front of Xiang Tian, but the unfortunate one had ended up being himself… Now that Shi Li had become a Beast King, who knew if he would make trouble for Zhou Ji??
It would be bad if he remained in the tribe! If he drove Shi Li out of the tribe, then there would be no further trouble!
Xiong Ye had done this after weighing the pros and cons. After speaking, he glanced towards Zhou Ji.
Zhou Ji was smiling as he looked back at him, and it was obvious that he was very satisfied.
Xiong Ye was instantly delighted.
Shi Li’s expression became distorted.
All kinds of things had happened after his rebirth, leaving him with no positive feelings for the Big Bear Tribe. He had already decided to leave the Big Bear Tribe and form his own tribe, but before that, he had thought that he could allow Xiong Ye and the remaining warriors of the Big Bear Tribe to join his new tribe out of consideration of their old love.
But now… What had he just heard? Xiong Ye actually drove him out of the Big Bear Tribe!
“Do you know what you’re saying?” Shi Li glared at Xiong Ye.
Xiong Ye replied, “I said, I’m driving you out of the Big Bear Tribe.”
“I’m a Beast King. You’re actually going to kick me out of the Big Bear Tribe?” Shi Li asked.
“Yes.” Xiong Ye nodded.
Shi Li felt that Xiong Ye had gone crazy. He believed that the people of the Big Bear Tribe definitely wouldn’t agree, but then…
In fact, the people of the Big Bear Tribe were very much in favor of Xiong Qi’s decision. Xiong Qi even praised, “Tribal chief, you’re so wise and decisive! This kind of person who has done nothing for the tribe for a whole year deserves to be expelled from the tribe!”
Xiong Qi and Shi Li had old grudges against one another. If Shi Li returned to the Big Bear Tribe, then wouldn’t Xiong Qicome to a bad end? He was completely behind driving Shi Li away.
As for the others… Many people of the Big Bear Tribe didn’t like Shi Li. As soon as Xiong Qi’s words came out, they all nodded one after the other.
Zhu Zhan didn’t know Shi Li, so he felt a little bit of pity, but he ultimately didn’t feel much of anything.
Their tribe wasn’t lacking in Beast Kings.
As for Zhu Yan and the Giant Pig Tribe’s priest who were at the very back… They had been very delighted at the start, hoping that conflict would rise up between Xiong Ye and this Lion Beast King, but this happiness disappeared very quickly–the Big Bear Tribe had three Beast Kings, and the Rhinoceros Beast King might join the Big Bear Tribe at some point in time. Wouldn’t dealing with a single Lion Beast King be the same as just playing around?
They shouldn’t expect anyone to step out and save them!
The Big Bear Tribe was determined to drive away a Beast King, making the onlookers around them all think that they were crazy, “Are you guys crazy?”
“That’s a Beast King!”
“I heard that this Big Bear Tribe is from the wild forest. Do they not know what a Beast King is?”
“These people actually dare to act like this to the Lion Beast King. They’ll definitely come to a bad end!”
……
The people of the Big Bear Tribe were unmoved.
Shi Li felt that he was having some trouble maintaining his dignity.
However, Shi Li soon guessed the reason for this.
After he left, life in the Big Bear Tribe must have been very bad, and they should have encountered a lot of trouble. They had probably suffered countless hardships to escape and arrive at the Beastman Continent, and then learned that he had actually become a Beast King. They must feel very angry and upset, and maybe they had even started to hate him for not going back to save their tribe…
Under such circumstances, it was normal for these people to want to drive him out of the tribe.
“Xiong Ye, exactly what’s going on? We grew up together as children, why would you treat me like this?” Shi Li had originally wanted to comfort Xiong Ye, but when he thought about how he wasn’t supposed to know what had happened to the Big Bear Tribe, he could only say such words instead.
He had thought that Xiong Ye would tell him about what had happened to the Big Bear Tribe.If Xiong Ye accused him of not being there, he could say that he didn’t know. However, instead of that, Xiong Ye said, “Because you haven’t hunted for the tribe for an entire year!”
Shi Li: “……”
Everyone around them: “……” Were Beast Kings used for hunting? Which tribe would have Beast Kings go out to hunt?!
“Your Big Bear Tribe actually dares to be disrespectful to a Beast King… The Beast God Temple won’t welcome you!” One of the Beast God Temple’s patrols came by suddenly, and the leader frowned at Xiong Ye and the others.
Shi Li had recently developed a good relationship with the Beast God Temple. He might even be Shen Yue’s future mate. The people of the Beast God Temple were already treating him like one of their own.
“A small tribe from the wild forest actually dared to disrespect a Beast King.”
“They shouldn’t let this kind of small tribe come here.”
“How did they end up together with the Giant Pig Tribe?”
……
The people on Shi Li’s side glared at Xiong Ye and the others, while even others spoke to Zhu Zhan, “You’re from the Giant Pig Tribe, right? The people of the Giant Pig Tribe can participate in the Beast God Sacrifice, but the people of this Big Bear Tribe can’t! There’s no place for them here at all!”
Zhu Zhan replied, “I’m sorry, but I’m actually from the Big Bear Tribe… Can the Giant Pig Tribe’s spot be given to the Big Bear Tribe instead?”
Shi Li looked at Zhu Zhan in disbelief.
He had had contact with Zhu Zhan in his previous life, but they hadn’t spoken more than a few words. After all, Zhu Zhan had already been a high level Beast Warrior when they first met, while he and Xiong Ye hadn’t even been low level Beast Warriors yet.
Zhu Zhan had allowed them to follow him, but he hadn’t cared about them and hadn’t taken them seriously, either.
But now, Zhu Zhan had actually said that he was from the Big Bear Tribe… Had he heard wrong?
Hold on… Zhu Zhan didn’t like the Giant Pig Tribe, and Zhou Ji had a powerhouse by his side. Was that why he would join the Big Bear Tribe?
Shi Li spoke up, “Zhu Zhan, aren’t you worried that other people will be unhappy if you give the Giant Pig Tribe’s spot to the Big Bear Tribe?” There were many people from the Giant Pig Tribe in this group!
“Nobody will be unhappy.” Zhu Zhan said.
“Yes, yes, we’re all willing!” The people of the Giant Pig Tribe hurriedly spoke up.
Shi Li: “……”
Shi Li felt that today was going badly for him in all sorts of ways. While he was thinking this, he saw Zhou Ji looking his way with a smile on his face. And at Zhou Ji’s side, was that middle-aged man.
The people of the Giant Pig Tribe and the Big Bear Tribe dared to be so disrespectful to him because of this powerhouse, right? He didn’t know any Beast Kings like this man, so this person should be a mere high level Beast Warrior… Xiong Ye actually chose to discard him, a Beast King, over a high level Beast Warrior like this…
Shi Li was just thinking about this when a loud ‘grandfather’ rang out. After that, Xi Baobei rushed over, straight towards Hai Feng.
“Big grandson!” Hai Feng was beaming with joy. He really wanted to fight while he was watching Shi Li chattering meaninglessly, but he had to hide his identity and couldn’t fight…
Just standing there was particularly boring. He was really happy to see Xi Baobei right now.
Grandson and grandfather came together in a hug.
The Rhinoceros Beast King followed with a stiff expression on his face.
His son had shouted ‘grandfather’ so loudly… Now everyone knew that he had another father! He really shouldn’t have let his son pester him into bringing him over!
The Rhinoceros Beast King decided to act quickly and ruthlessly and send everyone on their way. It just so happened that he also had grudges against the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe now, so he simply said, “Alright! The Giant Rhinoceros Tribe’s spot will be given to this Big Bear Tribe! Everyone disperse!”
“Father, you’re so nice.” Xi Baobei, who was hugging Hai Feng, ran over to give the Rhinoceros Beast King a hug too.
In fact, nobody knew that the Rhinoceros Beast King had a father. After all, nobody recognized Xi Baobei. But now… Everyone really learned about this matter.
“Xiong Ye, I didn’t expect you to be such a person. For the sake of benefits, you even sold your own mate!” Shi Li suddenly spoke up.
Shi Li felt very disappointed.
He had always believed that Xiong Ye was loyal to his mate and had very high requirements towards them such as not allowing them to go back on their word. But as a result, for the sake of benefits, he even watched with open eyes as Zhou Ji got involved with other people.
So it turned out that the middle-aged man was the Rhinoceros Beast King’s father. No wonder they weren’t afraid of him! No wonder they didn’t care about him as a Beast King!
Xiong Ye was left confused by Shi Li’s words–when had he betrayed his own mate?
Xiong Ye couldn’t help frowning as he looked at Shi Li, “Shi Li, is there a problem with your brain?”
Juurensha: There really is, but it’s not what you think, XY.
