Chapter 573 Touching the Reverse Scale
Zhu Xiu almost immediately sensed the bloodline aura that he loathed.

He was helping to move stones when he suddenly stopped. The air pressure around him instantly dropped to a frightening low, his vertical pupils shrank to a thin line, and he stared coldly at the few orcs who had suddenly appeared.

The elderly snake-beast couple also saw Zhu Xiu. Their eyes were as if they were looking at a stone, or rather, a flawed product. There was no emotion of reunion after a long separation, only naked indifference and a sense of entitlement.

The male serpent beastman spoke first, his voice hoarse and unpleasant, carrying a commanding tone: "Haven't seen you in so long, don't you recognize me? Aren't you coming over here?"

Zhu Xiu stood still, motionless, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever, as if he hadn't heard a thing.

The female snake-beastman frowned, her face showing impatience. "Forget it, we're not here to see him."

Her gaze swept over the numerous orcs, landing on Bai Wanwan, and she asked the young orc behind her, "Is it her?"

The young snake-beastman stared greedily at Bai Wanwan, "Yes, the female, I want her!"

The female was not only incredibly beautiful, but she also seemed to have some connection with his expelled brother.

"Alright, since you like her, the female mother will help you take her away."

Female king cobras are different from other females; they are fearless in the wild thanks to their venom.

She looked at Bai Wanwan, "Little female, my male has taken a liking to you. Will you come with us on your own, or will I take you away?"

Bai Wanwan looked around and then realized that the female the other person was referring to was herself.

She laughed loudly, "He's interested in me? But I'm not interested in him. What is he anyway? He's not even worth a single scale of my beast husband!"

These words were incredibly insulting to the orcs, and immediately enraged the snake-beasts.

"I thought you wouldn't want us to take action, but it looks like we'll have to teach you a lesson!"

The king cobra's venom is so potent that even a female can easily incapacitate a male leopard.

As soon as the female snake beast uttered those words, not only did Zhu Xiu instantly unleash a terrifying killing intent, but the expressions of Xin Feng, Yan Lie, and the others beside him also darkened completely.

The young snake-beast eagerly stepped forward, staring greedily at Bai Wanwan, and licked his lips: "Give me this female!"

Zhu Xiu finally moved. He slowly turned his head, his gaze like the sharpest ice pick, piercing the so-called "younger brother." The words squeezed out from the depths of his throat were filled with endless coldness and killing intent: "Get lost!"

The older male serpent beastman seemed to be enraged by Zhu Xiu's attitude. He raised his voice and shouted with an absurd sense of self-righteousness, "How dare you talk to us like that? This is what you owe us! Even giving up the female your brother has his eye on won't make up for your mistake."

"Owe you?"

Bai Wanwan's clear yet angry voice suddenly rang out.

She walked around Xin Feng, who was blocking her way, and stepped forward, her pretty face frosty, her sharp gaze sweeping over the disgusting snakes and beasts.

She walked to Zhu Xiu's side and stood beside him, meeting the cold gaze of the snake-beast couple without fear. Her voice, clear and icy, resounded throughout the entire area:

“I have never seen a more cold-blooded orc than you. He was just a snake cub back then and knew nothing. Did he want to mutate? You created him and then threw him away like trash because he didn’t fit your expectations.”

She grew angrier as she spoke, her chest heaving slightly. "If you're so capable, why don't you have children? You gave birth and then abandoned them, and now you have the nerve to show your faces? I am his partner, what right do you have to demand that he give up his partner? Are your skin thicker than the stone walls of the tribe? Beastmen like you will be abandoned by the Beast God sooner or later!" Bai Wanwan's barrage of insults left the snake-beast couple pale and then flushed. They clearly hadn't expected this seemingly delicate and gentle female to be so sharp and scathing in her words.

However, the spoiled "younger brother" was not woken up by the scolding. Instead, he became even more infatuated with Bai Wanwan's lively and charming angry face. He felt that he had to have this female who was so beautiful even when she was angry!
Ignoring Zhu Xiu's almost tangible killing intent, he clung to Bai Wanwan, reaching out to grab her arm: "Female... I like you so much..."

"Crack! Crack!"

Two crisp, loud slaps landed mercilessly on his face.

Bai Wanwan used all her strength, knocking his head to the side, leaving clear finger marks on his face instantly.

But this perverted guy, instead of getting angry after being hit, touched his face, his eyes becoming even more obsessed, even carrying a twisted excitement: "Good job...hit me again..."

He actually tried to move forward!

This time, before Bai Wanwan could make another move, Zhu Xiu made his move.

Everyone only saw a blur before their eyes, and before they could even see how Zhu Xiu made his move, the annoying young snake beast was shoved away like a tattered sack by a tremendous force. It flew in an arc and crashed heavily onto the open ground dozens of meters away, kicking up a cloud of dust. After struggling for a moment, it was unable to get up.

Zhu Xiu didn't even glance at the good-for-nothing. His icy gaze swept over the dumbfounded snake-beast couple as if they were dead objects. "I'll say it one last time, get lost!"

"You!" The older snake beast trembled with rage.

But he sensed the aura of a Crimson-Rank expert emanating from Zhu Xiu.

how come?
Although I knew he was a mutated beast with greater talent than other beastmen of the same rank, I never imagined he would become a Red-rank powerhouse.

"time up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Xiu's movements were faster than the naked eye could perceive, like a black lightning bolt tearing through space.

All that was heard was a dull thud and the cracking of bones. The annoying young snake beast didn't even have time to scream before it was as if it had been hit head-on by a high-speed moving mountain. Its body was twisted into a bizarre posture, spitting blood as it flew backward and crashed heavily to the ground, immediately losing consciousness and its fate unknown.

The female serpent beast let out a sharp howl and pounced on the unconscious male cub.

But Zhu Xiu's killing spree did not stop.

His cold, vertical pupils locked onto the snake-beast pair who were the instigators. He could forget the hatred of being abandoned for more than twenty years, but today their attempt to take Wanwan away was unforgivable!

The enormous snake tail, carrying destructive power, swept mercilessly towards the male snake-orc opposite!

The male serpent beastman was both shocked and furious, and tried to resist, but he clearly underestimated Zhuxiu's strength and determination.

How could a full-force attack from a Crimson-Rank expert be so easily withstood?
With a loud "bang," the male serpent beastman was whipped backward, blood spilling from his mouth, his face filled with horror.

Almost at the same moment that Zhu Xiu made his move, Yan Lie and Yin Ze, who had been holding back for a long time, also moved. The other party dared to humiliate Wanwan like this, which had already crossed their line!
