211: Fall into the trap
The typhoon had passed, the winds were calm, and the air was fresher than ever.
There was a slight darkness under Long Yi's eyes, but he had already returned to his usual self.
Long Yi and his group had been waiting at the agreed-upon location for three days.
Three days later, Long Yi turned his head to the side and saw 'Elephant Ze' arriving late from the distance in the Eastern Coast forest.
Long Yi's pupils constricted slightly.
Elephant Ze—that System Main God had actually chosen Elephant Ze as its host for parasitism.
Ying Li greeted him in surprise, "Elephant Ze! Aren't you at the Mining Area? Why did you suddenly come to the East?"
Just as Ying Li finished speaking, he noticed something was wrong with Elephant Ze's expression, and his right eye also seemed off.
Inside his originally hollow right eye socket, there was actually a mechanical prosthetic eye.
Seeing such a mechanical eye in the Beast World was simply terrifying!
"Elephant Ze" ignored Ying Li completely. He grinned and said, "High Priest Long Yi."
Long Yi's tone was indifferent and his gaze was cold: "System Main God."
Ying Li's mouth dropped open in shock. This person before them was actually the System Main God? The System Main God was parasitizing Elephant Ze's body?
Long Yi gently rubbed his fingers.
Elephant Ze's mechanical eye swiveled eerily. "To think you recognized me at a single glance."
Beside them, Crane Lian was so frightened by Elephant Ze that he cried out, "Ying Li, Ying Li, he-he-he!"
Crane Lian's worldview was about to shatter. With a face full of shock, he said, "What kind of thing is this!"
Ying Li quickly covered Crane Lian's mouth.
Elephant Ze smiled and said, "Long Yi, where is that Li Yun?"
Long Yi looked at it deeply and said, "I'll take you there."
...On the Eastern Coast, after the typhoon passed, the losses across the entire coast and seabed had been tallied.
The losses after this typhoon were the lowest in many years!
The beastmen whispered to each other happily.
"Every time there's a typhoon, many beastmen die on the coast. This is the first time we've made it through so safely!"
"The Southern Emperor is truly wonderful, and the Beast Kings are also truly wonderful."
Nan Zhisui led the people in organizing the post-disaster scene.
Nan Zhisui's prestige grew higher and higher, and the way the beastmen looked at her became increasingly respectful.
"Greetings, Southern Emperor."
"Greetings, Female Master Nan."
A beastman crowded forward and said, "Southern Emperor, this is the best piece of meat from the prey we caught. It's a gift for you to eat."
A merman also crowded forward and said, "Princess Consort Highness, this is the most beautiful pearl we found. It's for you. It's multi-colored~"
It was at this moment that Elephant Ze and the others arrived.
"High Priest, look, Li Yun is there." Elephant Ze gestured toward Li Yun with his eyes.
Long Yi's gaze fell upon Nan Zhisui.
She really was popular no matter where she went. "Mhm."
Elephant Ze said, "High Priest, go kill her."
Long Yi said, "I said before, I do not lay a hand on Females."
The System Main God was truly speechless. How could the Males of this Beast World be so ridiculous? It said, "Fine, if you won't go, I will!"
With that, the burly Elephant Ze stepped forward, smiling eerily at Li Yun: "Li Yun."
Li Yun, who had been helping everyone handle the post-disaster scene, felt her hair stand on end!
Sy-System Main God!
She screamed as she backed away, "Nan!!! Nan Zhisui!!!!"
Only Nan Zhisui possessed the Realm Stone; only Nan Zhisui could save her from the hands of the System Main God!!!
Hu Xiang, who was nearby, immediately ran over and shielded Li Yun.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Hu Xiang roared.
"I am... the one who wants her life." Elephant Ze's mechanical eye rolled as it stared at Li Yun.
Hu Xiang's expression changed drastically, and the beast markings on his face immediately appeared!
Only then did Elephant Ze look at Hu Xiang. "You want to fight me?"
"You cannot hurt her!" Saying this, Hu Xiang's hands transformed into sharp claws and he lunged at Elephant Ze.
However, Elephant Ze caught Hu Xiang's hand with ease!
"Uncle Xiang!!!" Li Yun cried out in panic. "Someone! Anyone!! Save him!!"
"Li Yun!" Hu Xiang realized the opponent's strength. He wrapped his legs around Elephant Ze's body to restrain him. "Run, run quickly!!!"
Elephant Ze reached out, intending to kill him.
However, just as Elephant Ze was choking Hu Xiang's neck, Long Yi grabbed Elephant Ze's hand.
"Do not harm innocent beastmen."
Elephant Ze was truly annoyed by this High Priest. "Long Yi, if you stop me again, I'll start to wonder if we're actually on the same side."
But he still needed Long Yi's help after all. For now, the Main God System did not want to make an enemy of Long Yi.
Thus, Elephant Ze let go of Hu Xiang.
He was just a Three-Striped Beast Warrior. There was no need to ruin the cooperation with the High Priest for his sake.
As Hu Xiang clutched his neck and coughed to the side, Li Yun looked at him and felt he seemed more and more familiar.
She seemed to have seen him before.
A fox... a Fox Male Creature.
Hu Xiang?
Li Yun suddenly looked up.
She had given birth to cubs for many Males. If a name was mentioned along with the term beast husband, she would vaguely remember a little.
But Li Yun had always thought Hu Xiang was just called "Uncle Xiang," plus she indeed didn't have much of an impression of Males of this age.
So she hadn't remembered immediately.
Now she remembered.
Uncle Xiang might be Hu Xiang... that Male Fox Beastman from Stone Village years ago who would blush when he saw her.
How did he... end up like this?
Elephant Ze walked toward Li Yun. Hu Xiang hugged Elephant Ze's leg, his voice hoarse, "Don't, don't go over there. Li Yun, run!"
Li Yun turned and ran!
What a fool!
Foolish Male. She had abandoned him, yet he still tried to save her again and again!
Why?!
Elephant Ze kicked the meddling Hu Xiang aside and rushed at Li Yun. Just as his elephant trunk was about to wrap around her, Nan Zhisui instantly rushed in front of Li Yun.
She slapped Elephant Ze away.
Nan Zhisui looked at these two big shots allied together in shock. "System... Long Yi, what do you two want to do?"
Long Yi stared at her icy gaze, his eyes flickering.
Elephant Ze felt that Nan Zhisui looked somewhat familiar. He tilted his head and studied her for a long time before saying, "Earthling, are you also a host? Could you be System 007's host, Nan Zhisui?"
The junk data Nan Zhisui had fed him was working.
Elephant Ze searched for Nan Zhisui's information within a massive pile of junk data.
Nan Zhisui: Female or Male? Age 18 or 15 or 43?
Was she actually Nan Zhisui or not?
The massive amount of junk data made Elephant Ze's expression become very strange.
Before long, all six of Nan Zhisui's Males stood behind her.
Elephant Ze couldn't distinguish truth from falsehood in his data and suddenly grew furious. "Regardless, I'm going to kill Li Yun!!!"
Nan Zhisui stared at him intently and asked, "Main God System. Are you sure she is Li Yun? What kind of person is the Li Yun in your data?"
Elephant Ze's brain twitched again.
Li Yun: 25 years old, 27 years old, 38 years old, or 45 years old?
Was the photo of System 006's Li Yun a black person or a white person? What color was her hair? Was she tall or short?
Elephant Ze's brain glitched, and he clutched his head in pain. He pointed a finger at Nan Zhisui and said decisively, "You are Li Yun!"
Nan Zhisui: "..."
Regarding Long Yi's plotline: if you re-examine it, you'll find that in all the plot points Star Mom wrote about Long Yi, he didn't actually do anything majorly evil.
Or babies, you can think about it—if Long Yi hadn't lured the Main God System to the Beast World, and the Main God System kept sending out small Systems like 009, 010, and 011, killing those small Systems wouldn't have solved the source of the problem at all.
Star Mom likes to plant foreshadowing. From planting it at the beginning to connecting it all at the end, the process is very complex and long.
Killing the System Main God is actually quite difficult.
So, this isn't about 'whitewashing' Long Yi; he wasn't 'black' to begin with.
This is my intended plot; there is absolutely no forced whitewashing!
Finally, regarding whether Long Yi will become the eighth husband—I see everyone's emotions are very intense.
I can't cater to every single reader baby.
I will just write according to my own ideas.
I will no longer be influenced by anyone.
