The vicious Ah Xing is super-wanted, and the beast husbands are crazy about the Shura field

Chapter 263 Disguise and Truth

Joan: [I did see him once before, but I escaped. I haven't seen him since.]

At first, she didn't think much of it, but after Shi Li finished speaking, Joan also felt a little uneasy.

Was he really that fast at escaping?
Moreover, it probably left quite a few traces as it traversed through the grass.

Shi Zhiyan didn't come along?

Or was Shi Zhiyan's target Shi Li from the beginning, and he didn't intend to care about Shi Li and Yan Sen?

Jensen: [If you're hungry, you can come to my place. I have some raspberries that Hague mentioned are edible.]

Shili: [Raspberries? Why can't I see any here?]

Am I unlucky again?

Shi Li was a little confused.

Jensen: [I don't know, but I have some here. I just ate one, and so far I haven't felt any discomfort.]

Jensen [should not have made a mistake.]

Jensen: [I'm by the gate, are you coming or not?]

Something suddenly flashed through Shi Li's mind: the place they started from was right by the gate.

How come I didn't notice the fruit over there?

Shi Li felt that there should be no problem with her memory.

However, the words Jensen typed on the terminal were all real.

Shi Li quickly switched to a private chat window with Joan.

Shili: [Did you notice the berries near the main gate this morning?]

Joan: [Who remembers that? I wasn't even hungry back then.]

Joan [The berries were red, though small, they should have been quite noticeable, I don't remember them.]

Joan: [What's wrong? Why are you messaging me privately all of a sudden?]

Although Joan didn't know why Shi Li asked that question, the sudden private chat made Joan realize that something was wrong.

Shi Li [Yan Sen is probably under Shi Zhiyan's control.]

Shi Li: [Those words were probably said by Shi Zhiyan.]

Shi Li didn't know where this intuition came from.

But something just doesn't feel right.

They clearly started from the main gate, and moving from their current location back to the main gate would obviously be both physically demanding and time-consuming.

Moreover, given Shi Zhiyan's intelligence, he must have known they were hiding in the forest, so why would they run to the main gate?
It can only be described as luring them over.

The methods used to coax her were rather crude.

Even if you're starving, you wouldn't run towards the gate just for food, would you?

The tree density there is very low.

The reason they weren't discovered at the gate was entirely because Shi Zhiyan and Bai Qingye were still unaware of the situation and didn't expect that they would set off together into the depths of the forest from the gate.

Joan: [No way, is your brother that cunning?]

Joan: [It's just an internal friendly match, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?]

Shi Li wasn't sure either, but she had a feeling that it was something Shi Zhiyan was capable of doing.

Shi Li: [That depends on what he's trying to do, or maybe he's just jealous.]

Shi Li [When she's jealous, she's capable of anything.]

Thinking about this, Shi Li felt relieved.

Although Shi Zhiyan acts somewhat extreme, almost all of his extreme and dark emotions stem from her.

The intense and suffocating emotions, ironically, provided Shi Li with a strong sense of security.

Every time Shi Zhiyan behaved like this, it was telling Shi Li that he couldn't live without her.

Without Shi Li, he'd be courting death.

Shi Li couldn't resist the feeling that she couldn't live without her.

It seems that no matter what she does, there will always be someone who stays by her side.

Isn't this feeling a kind of security?
Joan: [You can get jealous over this?]

Joan: ["Then Hager, who gave you individual training, must have been cursed at countless times behind your back."] Shi Li looked embarrassed.

Shi Li: [They definitely won't escape. To be precise, none of you will be missing.]

Shi Li was absolutely confident in this; that guy Shi Zhiyan wouldn't let a single one of them go.

Joan: [Then we can't go over there.]

Shi Li: [It can't end until we get through this, so I guess we still have to get through it.]

Shi Li: [Dragging this out for too long is hurting us too much.]

Shi Li still felt somewhat tired.

Besides, we've already taken care of Bai Qingye, so we feel that's about enough.

Their two-on-one situation doesn't necessarily mean certain death.

Joan: [Then stop dawdling and let's go. I'll come find you. Where exactly are you?]

Joan: [Let's finish this first, then you can get some rest.]

Shi Li: [Speaking of which, if only he's jealous, aren't you jealous too?]

Shi Li: [I've surprisingly seen you say so few bad things about him.]

Joan: [Isn't this an emergency? We don't have time to talk bad about him.]

Upon seeing this answer, Shi Li felt a chill run down her spine.

Shi Li: [But when did you start having this habit of talking badly about people?]

Shi Li: [My beast husbands are all very civilized.]

Shi Li: [Brother, stop messing around. I know you've got both of them under your control.]

Shi Li sighed and exposed Shi Zhiyan's trick.

She just hadn't expected Shi Zhiyan to actually go this far.

It seems that her initial concerns were not unfounded.

They didn't waste the secret code they had agreed on with Joan or Jensen at the beginning.

Once they need to reveal their specific locations, they must use a pre-arranged code word. They cannot reveal their locations in group chats; locations can only be communicated privately, with the middleman, Shili, relaying the information.

When these two people asked for the location this time, they didn't mention the code at all.

Shi Li initially thought that it was just that the two of them were not used to it and forgot about it at the crucial moment.

I figured if we chatted a bit more, it would flow smoothly.

Instead of uncovering the code, they also lost some of their usual speaking habits.

Shi Li then gave a false pretense.

Shi Zhiyan's profile picture popped up instantly.

Shi Zhiyan: [As expected, your brain is your most reliable weapon.]

Shi Zhiyan: [Not bad.]

Shi Zhiyan didn't hold back his praise; he hadn't expected Shi Li to remain vigilant even when everyone around her was an acquaintance.

This is truly beyond my expectations.

However, thinking of this, Shi Zhiyan felt a little proud, because this was his person.

Shi Li: [This is really putting people in a lot more difficult position.]

Shi Li: [Stop fooling around.]

Shi Li: [If we catch them, we should eliminate them if necessary.]

Shi Li didn't want to say too much. Shi Zhiyan's thought process was just too peculiar. Shi Li didn't know when this guy was telling the truth and when he was lying.

She's also prone to jealousy. If you're not careful, you might anger her again, and she'll start tormenting you. At that time, Tanuki is truly miserable.

Shi Zhiyan: [I don't plan to be eliminated so quickly; I want to play something more interesting.]

Shi Zhiyan: [Why don't you come and save them?]

Shi Li: [There's no way to save this. Saving me would only cost me my life.]

Shi Li quickly shook her head.

It's just elimination, there's no danger to my life, so Shi Li won't go.

Shi Zhiyan: [Really? But I can torture them like those bad guys too~]
