Chapter 28: Reluctant to Part with the Right Hand

“Who is it?” Yin Lang’s eyes changed color.

Qian Shi, feeling proud, began to recount the details of the situation to Yin Lang.

Upon hearing this, Yin Lang couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

‘It’s like the Gods are helping me!’

He didn’t expect that Fei Li would end up in Qian Shi’s hands. How could he pass up such a great opportunity to strike at Luo Sang?

With a calculating glint in his eyes, Yin Lang turned to Qian Shi. “Are you really planning to send Fei Li to the Lion Tribe?”

“This human is not ordinary, he has special weapons that could be useful for our Lion Tribe.”

The thought of Fei Li using fire to attack the orcs made Qian Shi’s blood boil with excitement.

With Fei Li, he could attack other tribes at will in the future and continually expand the Lion Tribe.

Naturally, he couldn’t let Yin Lang know about these plans.

Yin Lang gave a cold smile. “Do you know he is Luo Sang’s partner?”

“He… is actually Luo Sang’s partner?”

Mention of Luo Sang stirred a deep-seated hatred in Qian Shi’s heart.

After years of conflict between the lion and Wolf Tribes, Luo Sang relied on his innate superior strength as a white wolf and had ruthlessly bullied the Lion Tribe.

Not only that, the Wolf Tribe frequently competed with the Lion Tribe for food.

There were several winters when the Lion Orcs had to go hungry.

The entire Lion Tribe hated Luo Sang and the Wolf Tribe to the core.

As the saying goes, ‘The enemy of my enemy is my friend,’ which is why Yin Lang and Qian Shi became allies.

Qian Shi unconsciously clenched his fists, and the hatred in his eyes deepened.

“Fei Li is as cunning as a fox. I’m afraid that before you even bring him back to the tribe, you might fall into his trap. It might be better to…”

Yin Lang leaned closer to Qian Shi as they continued their schemes.

—

Luo Sang had been searching for Fei Li all night without success.

Sitting in the room, Luo Sang’s expression was terrifyingly cold, exuding a chilling aura.

Mao Li entered the room. “Lord Luo Sang, I have instructed everyone to search, but… we still haven’t found Fei Li.”

Luo Sang’s anger flared, and he abruptly stood up, slashing at a nearby stone pot with a fierce gust of wind from his hand.

Since the establishment of the Wolf Tribe, Fei Li is the first human to escape from the tribe, which displeases Luo Sang greatly.

As the leader of the Wolf Tribe, his authority has been challenged for the first time.

‘Fei Li, I’ve been so good to you. How dare you leave?’

His clenched fists suddenly relaxed, and he coldly looked at Mao Li. “Do you believe he escaped?”

Mao Li remained silent. The people in the tribe were all saying this.

Everyone knew that leaving the tribe was a grave offense, and even the leader’s partner couldn’t be forgiven.

“Lord Luo Sang, now that the tribesmens are all saying this, if you continue to favor Fei Li, it might cause dissatisfaction among the tribesmens,” Mao Li kindly reminded.

Fei Li had done a favor for the tribe, but that didn’t mean he could act recklessly.

The authority of orcs is higher than that of humans, this is an age-old truth.

Luo Sang’s eyes darkened as he waved his hand at Mao Li.

“Give Fei Li one more day. If he doesn’t return by then…” Don’t blame me.

—

Fei Li and Soma were kicked awake by the Lion Orcs. As soon as they woke up, they were tied up by the Lion Orcs.

Fei Li looked at Qian Shi in confusion. “Lord Qian Shi, didn’t we agree last night that we would go with you to the Lion Tribe? Why are we still being tied up?”

Could it be Qian Shi sensed something?

It’s impossible. Qian Shi didn’t seem like such a smart beast.

Qian Shi coldly approached him, pinching his chin with his long fingers and gazing at him regretfully. “I really hate to do this to you, but you are Luo Sang’s partner, after all.”

Fei Li was startled. How did he know?

“I am Luo Sang’s partner, but once I go with you to the Lion Tribe, I will be your partner, with no connection to Luo Sang anymore.”

He looked so sincere. If it weren’t for having a better plan with Yin Lang, Qian Shi might have believed him.

Qian Shi threw back his head and laughed heartily, the laughter made Fei Li and Soma shiver.

The laughter suddenly stopped, and Qian Shi’s gaze turned fierce. “I heard that wolves are very loyal to their partners. I’m curious to see if Luo Sang will come to rescue you.”

Suddenly realizing, Fei Li’s face flashed with a barely perceptible panic.

Is Qian Shi planning to use him to threaten Luo Sang?

“You have the guts to challenge Luo Sang, yet you use me to threaten him. What kind of tribe leader are you?” Fei Li provoked Qian Shi with his words.

The orcs standing behind Qian Shi gave Fei Li a displeased glare. “Who do you think you are to dare question Lord Qian Shi?”

“Heh… Lord Qian Shi? He’s nothing but a Lion Orc with no real skills, not even brave enough to duel Luo Sang. I see your Lion Tribe will eventually be wiped out,” Fei Li provocatively said.

Fei Li’s sudden reckless provocation made the Lion Orcs gasp in shock.

On the other hand, Qian Shi was not angered at all. Instead, he maintained a smile. “Say whatever you want! There will be a time when you will cry for mercy.”

After saying that, Qian Shi stopped talking and led the Lion Orcs out of the cave, heading straight towards the Wolf Tribe.

Bound and closely tied together, Fei Li and Soma were dragged along.

“Master, what should we do now?”

Fei Li sighed in frustration, equally unsure of what to do.

Where was his special ability?

It seemed to be unreliable, and he really wanted to crush to death Qian Shi right now.

After crossing a small hill and walking for several more hours, Fei Li’s feet were so sore he could barely move, and he was dragged forward by the Lion Orcs.

“Stop!” Qian Shi suddenly called out.

He looked at the nearby Lion Orc and said, “Little Shi Zi, go to the Wolf Tribe and tell Luo Sang to come here immediately. Otherwise, I will kill his partner right here.”

little Shi Zi received the order and dashed off towards the Wolf Tribe in his lion form.

Qian Shi looked at Luo Sang, who had arrived with several Wolf Tribe orcs, his face filled with smug satisfaction.

“Luo Sang, I didn’t expect to see you again.”

Luo Sang’s gaze was fixed on Fei Li, and ^[2]“The heavy stone that had been weighing on his chest was lifted” is a metaphorical expression that means Lou Sang has experienced a great relief from anxiety, worry, or stress.

It turned out that Fei Li didn’t run away, he was captured by Qian Shi.

Mao Li and the other Wolf Tribe orcs glared hatefully at Qian Shi and were disgusted by his actions.

Qian Shi gestured to little Shi Zi, who immediately brought Fei Li forward.

Qian Shi lifted Fei Li up and said, “I also happened to learn that this human is your partner, Luo Sang. As the leader of the Wolf Tribe, you can’t even protect your own partner. Maybe it’s best if you stop following him.”

Mao Li bared his teeth and let out a roar of anger at Qian Shi.

“Luo Sang, if you want this human to live, then you need to cut off your right hand.” Qian Shi fixed his gaze on Luo Sang.

The Wolf Tribe orcs all looked at Luo Sang. All their eyes conveyed a single message, “Lord Luo Sang, don’t listen to him.”

Fei Li looked at Luo Sang with concern and shook his head.

Seeing Luo Sang hesitating, Qian Shi mocked, “What’s the matter? Can’t bear to part with your own arm?”
