Chapter 207: Chapter 207
Grey Parrot and Green Parrot watched with longing eyes as the insect medicine was bought by Xue Lin, feeling a great sense of regret.
After their regret subsided, Grey Parrot quietly asked Si Yan, "Mr. Si Yan, do you have any more insect medicine? I can buy it."
This was a business opportunity!
But she had just let Xue Lin spend a Golden Insect Crystal on the insect medicine. If she lowered the price now, wouldn’t that be unprincipled?
So Si Yan said, "I don’t have any more for now."
"None left?..." Grey Parrot was very disappointed.
Seeing Xue Lin buy the insect medicine with a hefty sum, Bao Lin and her brothers felt not just a slap in the face but also a strong sense of jealousy.
Their mother didn’t like meat and preferred bamboo. For bamboo-eating Beastmen like her, as long as they maintained some hygiene, the probability of contracting worm diseases was much, much lower than for other females who ate raw meat.
In other words, their father buying the insect medicine with a hefty sum most likely equated to giving Si Yan money.
They were all daughters, yet Si Yan was given a Golden Insect Crystal, while Bao Lin only received a small living allowance each month?
Bao Lin was immediately filled with jealousy.
Kang Lin said to Bao Lin, "Sister, Father is being too partial."
Sheng Lin agreed, "Indeed, he is showing favoritism."
Jian Lin added, "Maybe it’s because Father hasn’t seen Second Sister in a long time, so he wants to compensate her."
Kang Lin retorted, "Even if it’s compensation, it shouldn’t be . A Golden Insect Crystal! Father has really gone too far!"
As they spoke, their gazes towards Si Yan were filled with even more dissatisfaction.
Their dissatisfaction was very clear, and Si Yan had to bear it. She glanced at them casually and then thought to herself, Crazy.
These Beastmen weren’t minding their own business. Why were they always staring at her?
She hadn’t even gone to trouble them yet.
Si Yan ignored her brothers, but they didn’t plan to let her off the hook.
Kang Lin stepped forward, staring at Si Yan, and said, "Second Sister, the Golden Insect Crystal you just got—share half with Bao Lin."
His voice was very soft, so only Si Yan, She Wang, and Yin Hong heard him.
Si Yan almost thought she was hallucinating. She asked in surprise, "What did you say?"
Kang Lin said, "The Insect Crystal Father gave you isn’t just for you. You and Bao Lin are sisters; it should be split equally between you."
Si Yan retorted, "Why don’t you also say that you, Jian Lin, and Sheng Lin should get a share? Have me split it into five portions at once, one for each of you."
Kang Lin said, "Of course, that would be even better."
Si Yan was so infuriated she laughed. "You’re incredibly naive."
Kang Lin said, "Si Yan, you’ve been gone for a few years and just returned. It’s natural for Father and Mother to feel sorry for you, and compensating you with an Insect Crystal is reasonable. But you also need to be sensible. Is what Father and Mother gave you only for you?"
"Of course, it should be shared with Bao Lin."
Si Yan asked, "What do you mean, ’Father and Mother gave to me’?"
Si Yan said with a cold face, "I’ll say it again: I don’t have a father or a mother, nor do I have any brothers or sisters. The Insect Crystal in my hand was earned through my own abilities, not given by anyone. Understand?"
The more Kang Lin listened, the angrier he became. "Be sensible!"
"Sensible?" Si Yan couldn’t help but laugh. "What right do you have to say that word to me?"
Kang Lin said angrily, "Because I am your older brother! You must listen to me."
Si Yan replied, "You really are hard of hearing. I’ve said it before: I don’t have an older brother."
Kang Lin said, "Si Yan, I know you resent the past. But back then, you were a bit foolish. Even though you were foolish, we still took care of you, didn’t we? What more could you be dissatisfied with?"
Si Yan was genuinely angered now.
"Kang Lin, what right do you have to question my right to be angry?"
Kang Lin exclaimed, "Si Yan!"
Just as Kang Lin was about to pat Si Yan’s arm, the tail of the cold-blooded snake Beastman, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly lashed out.
Kang Lin was startled. Before he could retract his hand, a surge of intense pain made him lose consciousness instantaneously. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel·fıre·net
Then, he let out a loud "AAH!"
This finally drew everyone’s attention.
Since their children were all adults, Xue Lin didn’t interfere much in their affairs.
He looked over at Si Yan and Kang Lin, puzzled. Kang Lin had stepped back and was being supported by his brothers.
"Kang Lin, what happened to you?"
"I..." Kang Lin gritted his teeth. "Si Yan had her male hit me! My hand..."
Sheng Lin immediately exclaimed, "Your hand! How did it swell up ?! I’ll take you to the Witch Doctor."
After saying that, Sheng Lin turned to Si Yan. "Si Yan, you’ve gone too far! Treating Kang Lin —aren’t you afraid I’ll report you to Father, and you’ll truly never be able to return to Myriad Beasts City?!"
Si Yan looked back at the auction. "Go on, hurry up and report me."
"You!" Sheng Lin gritted his teeth. "I don’t believe you truly don’t care!"
Nowadays, no one believes you when you tell the truth.
A nearby bird Beastman who had watched the entire incident chimed in, "I can’t watch this anymore. Didn’t you see the female doesn’t want to be bothered by you at all? It’s just you lot who’ve been pestering her the whole time."
Sheng Lin’s face instantly flushed an ugly, purplish-red.
Si Yan focused on the auction items. The current lot was a piece of rough burlap woven by a tribe of weaker Beastmen. The cloth was very coarse and couldn’t compare to animal hides, but Si Yan was already very interested.
Si Yan started to bid.
Green Parrot, however, kept looking in She Wang’s direction.
When She Wang was competing with Dark Saint, Green Parrot had noticed his strength was extraordinary. Just now, when She Wang struck Kang Lin, Green Parrot hadn’t even reacted in time.
He seemed very strong, incredibly so.
Thinking this, Green Parrot approached She Wang and whispered, "Young man, how about we set a time for a friendly spar?"
For high-level Beastmen like them, an opportunity to spar with someone of the same caliber was highly valued.
Through mutual sparring and clashes, their strength might very well increase.
However, She Wang’s expression was very cold.
"I’m busy. I don’t have time."
He had finally managed to take a day off to hunt Insect Crystals previously. Even then, he had felt extremely uncomfortable being even slightly away from Si Yan.
After that, he felt that either Si Yan should keep him tied to her belt, or he should tie Si Yan to his.
In short, unless it was something major, he had to stay by Si Yan’s side.
Green Parrot was stunned. He was a Jin Jing Beastman. A Jin Jing Beastman inviting a Purple Crystal Beastman to a spar, only to be rejected? Unheard of!
And yet, he had no reason to be angry.
Green Parrot said, "Our spar won’t take much of your time. And since it’s a friendly one, no one will get hurt. It’ll be over quickly; it won’t delay you much."
Still, She Wang’s expression remained indifferent.
