Chapter 119 Dissolution of the Marriage Contract
The powder the two men were talking about was a powder used by the tribe to ward off wild animals.

This powder has always been sprinkled around the tribe to prevent wild animals from invading.

Most wild animals will automatically leave upon smelling this scent, which is equivalent to building an invisible wall.

Wen Li heard that the medicinal powder from the neighboring tribe was quite famous, and wild animals would not come near it just by smelling the scent.

But now, those wild beasts are able to ignore the medicinal powder and invade their tribe...

This whole thing seems a bit strange no matter how you look at it.

"Is it possible that the medicine powder has lost its effectiveness?" Wen Li wondered.

The witch doctor nodded thoughtfully: "Perhaps. But in all my years, this is the first time I've ever seen anything like this."

"Sigh... I heard that those invading beasts all reek of a foul stench, and their eyes are bloodshot, making them look like they're possessed."

The witch doctor frowned as he spoke.

Wen Li imagined what the witch doctor had said, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she couldn't help but shudder.

"Is it really that weird?" Wen Li swallowed hard.

“Of course.” The witch doctor shook his head repeatedly. “I have a feeling that the world is about to change.”

For some reason, he has been feeling this way a lot lately, something he has never experienced before.

Witch doctors have always trusted their intuition.

It was this extraordinary intuition that allowed him to avoid danger on numerous occasions.

Just like during the earthquake, he always felt uneasy staying in the cave, so he went out for a walk.

I didn't expect that an earthquake would happen right after I left.

Looking back, if he had stayed in the cave, he probably would have been crushed to death.

Now, this inexplicable unease is gradually intensifying once again.

He felt inexplicably uneasy, especially when he thought about what was happening in the neighboring tribe.

Based on the witch doctor's experience, things were definitely not that simple, and something big was bound to happen.

With that in mind, he earnestly reminded Wen Li, "You should also be careful lately. I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen."

The witch doctor spoke with a solemn expression, and Wen Li nodded thoughtfully after listening.

The witch doctor's reminder reminded Wen Li of Meng Yu's words.

Meng Yu also told her yesterday that something might happen recently, and she was more specific about it.

Could it really come true?
Wen Li frowned, then looked at the witch doctor and asked, "And what about you? What are your plans? What if something really happens..."

The witch doctor was silent for a moment: "I don't know..."

He didn't know what would happen, let alone how to deal with it.

I just had a bad feeling, but I had no idea what would happen.

He sighed, "We can only deal with whatever comes our way."

The two did not continue discussing this topic.

Everything is unknown, and there's no point in continuing to discuss it.

Wen Li stayed with the witch doctor and finally treated five patients, completing her first points-earning task.

Twenty points earned!

Logically, Wen Li should have been happy, but when she thought of what the witch doctor had said, she felt more uneasy, and her joy was instantly overshadowed.

Wen Li returned home with a heavy heart and began tidying up some unnecessary things in the house.

After tidying up, she inexplicably felt that her unease had dissipated considerably.

She didn't know the principle behind it, but she subconsciously felt that if she packed her things well, she could leave whenever she wanted.

Ultimately, Wen Li's concern was that if she had to leave suddenly, all the things in the house would be lost.

She had finally improved her living conditions and couldn't bear to start all over again.

However, as time went by, the so-called danger did not materialize, and everything in the village remained as usual.

After Arno returned, everyone learned that the reason those strange wild beasts appeared in the neighboring tribe was because someone had deliberately wiped away some of the medicinal powder, luring the beasts in.

Ultimately, this disaster was man-made.

Upon hearing this news, Wen Li did not feel relieved; instead, she felt even more uneasy.

Wen Li would occasionally take some time to visit Meng Yu.

Meng Yu was clearly already preparing to leave, and she took her cousin's reminder very seriously.

When Wen Li went there again, Meng Yu's house had been almost completely cleaned up, leaving only some essential items.

"When do you plan to leave?" Wen Li asked.

Meng Yu shook her head: "I don't know either."

Although she had packed all her things, she was still not ready to leave the tribe completely.

Everything was in place, except for a driving force.

She still harbored a sliver of hope, thinking that things wouldn't suddenly happen.

After all this time, nothing really happened.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it," Meng Yu sighed. "Let's wait and see. I'm not sure right now either."

Her actions seemed somewhat willful, but fortunately, her husbands were very considerate and didn't complain at all. Instead, they helped her make plans and told her not to worry.

Wen Li sometimes envies Meng Yu.

Because her husbands were all too sensible.

Although he is not the strongest, he is caring, considerate and gentle.

In contrast, although her beast husbands were also gentle and considerate, Wen Li always felt that they were hiding something from her.

The longer they spent together, the stronger this feeling became, but they never brought it up to her on their own initiative.

"Wen Li, your beast husband has come to pick you up."

After a moment of silence, Meng Yu spoke.

Wen Li turned around and saw that it was Bai Yanci.

As the weather gradually warms up, Bai Yanci has awakened from his hibernation.

He has been clinging to Wen Li ever since he woke up yesterday, and today was no exception.

"It's getting late, Wen Li, you should go back now," Meng Yu said.

Wen Li came to see Meng Yu this time to deliver something.

The grains she planted in her space have begun to be harvested; these are the first batch of ripe crops, and she specially brought them over for Meng Yu to try.

The advantage of the Shennong Jade Pendant is that the crop growth cycle is extremely short.

In reality, vegetables take a long time from sowing to harvest, but in the jade pendant space, it only takes a maximum of three days.

At this rate, Wen Li believed that her warehouse would become increasingly full, and she would no longer have to worry about food in the future.

After saying goodbye to Meng Yu, Wen Li and Bai Yanci went home together.

And so, the days passed until spring arrived.

After winter ended, the family's food reserves were almost depleted, especially meat.

There's no need to worry about vegetables; Wen Li's space allows for continuous cultivation, with a new harvest every day.

Several beastmen also began to go out hunting, and Wen Li asked them to help catch some live pheasants or rabbits to raise in her space.

The space's ranch is now open, and it houses many small animals, which serve as her "food reserves."

Life seems to be getting better and better.

Wen Li felt that things could continue like this.

The only regret is that He Yan has not returned yet.

Wen Li wasn't sure if he would come back.

After all, he has been gone for a long time.

The two initially only had a verbal agreement.

Spring has been here for some time now, and He Yan is still nowhere to be seen. Perhaps he has already forgotten her. With the arrival of spring, the day to dissolve the marriage contract has also come.

Wen Li can now officially dissolve her engagements with her beast husbands.

However, judging from the current situation, none of the beastmen seem to have any intention of leaving her.

Nevertheless, Wen Li did not forget this matter, and for procedural reasons, she brought it up herself.

After dinner, Wen Li called out to her several beastmen.

The group sat around the table, their gazes all turning to Wen Li with a hint of doubt.

"What do you want to say?" Bai Yanci asked.

Wen Li coughed lightly and slowly spoke under the gaze of several pairs of eyes: "The time for the marriage contract has come."

The beastmen simply watched her in silence, waiting for her next words.

Wen Li's gaze swept across everyone's faces, and it was clear that no one took the matter too seriously.

Because for them, this is no longer important.

Wen Li continued, "Uh... does anyone here want to annul their marriage contract?"

As soon as she said that, she received several displeased looks.

Zhu Yan gritted her teeth and said, "Say that again?"

Bai Yanci frowned: "Did you do that on purpose?"

Pei Yu said, "I don't understand."

Xin Yuan coughed lightly but did not speak.

Wen Li's gaze finally landed on Shen Yihe.

Of these beastly husbands, she was least certain about Shen Yihe.

During this time, their relationship progressed and their affection continued to grow, but Wen Li could never see through him or know his true thoughts.

"And you?" Wen Li asked Shen Yihe.

Shen Yihe remained silent throughout the meal, appearing preoccupied.

He's been like this lately.

Wen Li could be certain of the intentions of the other beast husbands, but she could never understand Shen Yihe's feelings.

Upon hearing Wen Li's question, Shen Yihe looked up at her.

The moment their eyes met, Wen Li's heart inexplicably raced, and she suddenly felt nervous for no apparent reason.

There was a moment of stillness in the air, and no one spoke. They just watched Wen Li and Shen Yihe in silence.

The atmosphere grew increasingly tense. Wen Li clearly caught a glimpse of struggle in Shen Yihe's eyes, and suddenly she had an answer in her heart.

In that instant, a strange, aching sensation assaulted her heart, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Finally, Shen Yihe spoke.

He gazed at Wen Li and said softly, "I want to dissolve the marriage contract."

"..."

Although all of this was within Wen Li's expectations, she still felt very uncomfortable when she actually heard Shen Yihe say those words.

Perhaps, she did care about Shen Yihe a little.

Wen Li's expression was slightly stiff, but she forced a smile and said easily, "Okay."

She agreed very readily.

Shen Yihe felt a tightness in his chest, glanced at her, and couldn't describe the complex emotions he was feeling at that moment.

He should be happy that she agreed so readily, so why does he feel so sad?

Shen Yihe pursed his lips.

The others stared at him in shock, never expecting him to propose annulment of the marriage.

"Shen Yihe, are you crazy?" Pei Yu shouted.

Pei Yu didn't understand why he wanted to break off the marriage contract. He clearly liked Wen Li too, didn't he?
Shen Yihe lowered his eyes and remained silent.

"Don't worry, I will respect your choice." Wen Li stood up, her gaze sweeping over the other beastmen. "Anyone else?"

None of them spoke, which clearly indicated their stance.

“So only one person wants to dissolve the marriage contract,” Wen Li said. “Then let’s go to the witch doctor tomorrow to handle it.”

Even dissolving a marriage contract requires going through certain procedures.

In the Beast World continent, during marriage, the witch doctor mixes the female's blood with herbal juice and carves a symbol on the male's body; this is the marriage contract.

The presence of this mark on a male signifies that he belongs to someone and is someone's mate.

The same principle applies to dissolving a marriage contract.

The witch doctor would use a certain herbal juice, mixed with the blood of the female's heart, to cover up the original tattoos on the male's body.

Once the cover is completely removed, the contract between the two is dissolved, and they will have no further contact with each other.

Early the next morning, Wen Li and Shen Yihe went to the witch doctor.

Wen Li usually doesn't come this early; the witch doctor has just finished breakfast.

Upon seeing Wen Li, he paused for a moment, "You're here so early today."

After speaking, he noticed Shen Yihe behind Wen Li.

He could clearly sense that the atmosphere between the two was unusual.

Furthermore, both Wen Li and Shen Yihe looked serious, prompting the witch doctor to ask curiously, "What's wrong with you two?"

Wen Li stated her purpose directly: "I hope you can help us dissolve our marriage contract."

"?"

The witch doctor was stunned for a moment, looked at Wen Li, then at Shen Yihe: "Cancel the marriage contract? Are you serious?"

Before Wen Li could answer, Shen Yihe nodded and said, "Seriously."

Wen Li pursed her lips, and that inexplicable feeling of discomfort welled up again.

It was as if Shen Yihe couldn't wait to get rid of her.

Wen Li, not to be outdone, replied, "Of course I'm serious. Let's deactivate it now."

Upon hearing her words, Shen Yihe's lips twitched slightly, and finally he managed to squeeze out a "Mm" through his nose.

"Are you sure you don't want to reconsider?" the witch doctor gently advised.

He didn't understand why the two of them, who seemed to be getting along well, would suddenly want to dissolve their marriage contract. "They had a fight? They can make up after a fight, it doesn't have to be this big of a fuss."

“No need to think about it,” Wen Li said seriously. “We’ve already agreed on this.”

Both men were adamant, and the witch doctor, seeing this, could say nothing more.

He sighed, gestured for the two to sit and wait outside the cave, and then turned to fetch his tools.

“Arno, go and get me the silver needles,” the witch doctor said.

Arno, who was sorting herbs, stopped what he was doing when he heard the witch doctor's words and asked curiously, "Is someone getting married?"

Normally, a witch doctor would only ask Arno to fetch silver needles when someone was getting married.

The witch doctor's expression was strange no matter how you looked at it, and he gently shook his head: "It's not marriage, it's dissolving the marriage contract."

Arno was taken aback when he heard this: "Who wants to annul the marriage contract?"

Most males do not consider dissolving their marriage after marrying a female, unless something particularly egregious happens.

Usually, such things become common knowledge among the entire tribe.

However, this has not happened recently.

Arno quickly took the tools from the cabinet, disinfected them briefly, and handed them to the witch doctor.

The witch doctor then answered his question.

"Wen Li".

Arno was stunned when he heard this.

"what?"
