"Young Master, although he is the new Family Head of the Hunting Leopard Clan, he barged into the Royal Palace without permission—he’s way too arrogant!"
"Should we catch him?" the leading officer inquired.
Yue Lin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and raised a hand to stop them, "No need, don’t get involved in this, all of you stand down."
The Beastmen exchanged glances but still retreated.
Yue Lin stepped forward a few paces, looking down at the man on the ground with a complex expression, "Jin, to be honest with you, I really don’t know where Shen Tang is."
He said, "If I could find her, I would have done so long ago, I wouldn’t be here wasting words with you."
"..."
"Honestly, I admire your persistence, but since she decided to leave, you shouldn’t waste your efforts."
As Yue Lin uttered these words, his tone was tinged with an indescribable pity, "Someone who wants to leave will never be found."
Jin closed his eyes, a tear slid down from the corner, overwhelmed by endless regret.
Though Yue Lin disliked Jin, seeing him like this, he felt a bit of compassion.
"Forget it, I won’t hold you accountable for today. Just don’t come looking for me anymore."
After finishing, he called over a subordinate, "Escort him out, please."
Upon leaving the Moon Wolf Clan, Jin ceased his frantic search, instead, he suddenly became silent.
He locked himself in his room all day, refusing to see anyone, and disregarded clan affairs entirely.
The Leopard Clan was currently chaotic inside, but he no longer cared.
After all, when one doesn’t even wish to live, what do any of these matters concern him?
In the dim room, Jin leaned listlessly against the wall, as if he lost his soul. Scattered around his feet were many empty liquor bottles, the air reeked of alcohol.
The wall plastered with sketches, though poorly drawn, covered the whole surface, the floor littered with crumpled sheets of paper.
These were drawn by Jin himself. He issued missing person notices almost daily, yet found nothing.
Nothing was working anymore.
He held no hope in his heart.
She truly didn’t want him anymore.
But even as Jin became like this, no one in the clan dared to overthrow this new Family Head’s rule.
Not that no one tried, but no one dared to reason with the Mad Beast. A few restless ones attempted to seize power, and they were all killed by him.
When he saw the true face of the young man from the Fox Clan, his expression was filled with shock and a hint of bitterness, suddenly understanding everything.
So it was him.
He came too.
If that’s the case, there’s no need to investigate further.
During these days she left, appears she was with Shen Li all along.
...
On the other side, in the Fox Clan’s Royal Palace.
Shen Tang was unaware of the happenings in the Leopard Clan; these days, she focused on treating Su Jiu during the day, and continued incubating an egg at night.
Shen Li had long discovered that serpent egg, sensing a familiar aura surrounding it, his charming, handsome face showed surprise, "Tangtang, what’s going on here?"
"Ah, I almost forgot to tell you about the matters involving the Parasite Clan," Shen Tang proceeded to inform Shen Li of all that happened after his departure.
After finishing, she looked at the snake egg in her arms that remained still, sighing helplessly, "In short, the current situation is, Yin Zhou has become an egg, and I have no idea when he’ll hatch..."
Shen Li squinted his captivating fox eyes, his slender fingers emitted a wisp of flame, "Is it not enough force? Otherwise... let me give it a try?"
