Chapter 114: Vengeance must be avenged
"My godfather's point is that although I've already been married, I'm still a member of the 'Yun' group. Furthermore, many of the tribes we're passing through are ones I've contacted directly. If I don't come along, the caravan might not be able to stop at these tribes, which would cause huge losses for the caravan, so..."
He paused, observing Xixi's expression. Seeing that she showed no anger and even nodded slightly in response to his words, he felt relieved and continued:
"Therefore, my godfather hopes that I can go on another trip with the caravan."
"Yes, that's the right thing to do. It wouldn't be good to let all your years of hard work go to waste." Xixi nodded in agreement. "Go ahead and don't worry, I can take care of myself!"
This time, Yunxi was stunned. He had planned that Xixi would stop him from leaving, and would say things like, "What will she do if you leave?" But he never expected that Xixi would not only not stop him, but would actually agree to his leaving. It was fine if he left, she had even prepared to live alone!
"Ahem, Xixi, you are my wife, and now you are pregnant. How can I leave you here alone?"
Xixi didn't think much of it, waved her hand and laughed, "You can go ahead and do what you need to do. You don't need to worry about me. I have hands and feet, and I have a job to earn money, so I won't go hungry."
As she spoke, she lowered her head and chuckled softly, "Speaking of which, Fatty Orange was quite reluctant to leave the night before he was to depart, and even considered not leaving at one point... I was there trying to persuade him, my lips were practically blistered from talking so much... He asked a few of his brothers for help that very night, spoke to his father, and repeatedly reminded Nuannuan next door, dawdling for most of the night before finally leaving, looking back every few steps..."
“Now, the same scene is happening again. Do you want me to persuade you again?” She looked at Yunxi gently. “You all have your own responsibilities. No one is destined to live for me. You are independent individuals, and so am I. As I have said, we should understand each other, respect each other, and treat each other as equals.”
At this moment, Yunxi had a deeper understanding of the "respect" and "equality" that Xixi had mentioned. Perhaps the reason she emphasized these things repeatedly was not only to liberate him, but also to make him, and even them, understand her and acknowledge her independent individual status!
To be honest, Yunxi could understand and was willing to respect Xixi's individual status, but not at this moment. Otherwise, his plans with his godfather would have been meaningless!
After thinking about it, he changed his approach.
“Xixi, as you know, I was raised as a child son-in-law and have little personal freedom. My biggest dream is that my wife will accept my identity as a traveling merchant and accompany me on my trade journeys, even if only once! There are so many interesting stories on this trade route that I am eager to share with you. I am eager to take you to see other tribes and experience different customs and cultures!”
"Xixi, can you say yes?"
It has to be said that Yunxi is really good at gauging the situation. If it were a matter of whether or not to allow the beast husband to go to work, Xixi would definitely agree and wouldn't cling to him.
However, if it comes down to taking her on a trip and sharing the interesting stories and experiences along the way, probably no female could refuse to go along.
However, even if a female is attracted, she will have many concerns, such as whether other males in the caravan will take advantage of her, whether other animal husbands will agree, whether she will also need to follow, and what about the cubs, and how to take care of them.
Most importantly, this entire large family actually ran off with a wandering orc. If word got out, they'd probably laugh their heads off!
No female would choose to disregard everything and simply leave!
But in Xixi, none of that applies. All she needs to do is leave a message for Fatty Orange, telling him where she is going. Whether he comes after the beast tide is defeated is entirely up to him.
As for the baby, he's already a month old and can fly. He can come with us if he wants, or stay with the lynx tribe if he doesn't. With Nuannuan and his dad there, he won't go hungry.
A single merchant journey can take anywhere from a year to three years. By the time she returns, Xi Da will not yet have taken human form, so it won't cause any delays.
"Have you spoken to the chieftain and the shaman about this?" Xixi asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I have already said so." After discussing with his adoptive father in the morning, he entrusted all matters related to the "Yun" company to his adoptive father. It was only proper to inform the caravan of its departure, as this was a basic courtesy, and his adoptive father would certainly not overlook it.
He was responsible for persuading Xixi, which was a crucial part of the plan!
Although there was an element of deception involved, he promised that he would not let Xixi suffer any harm, and that he would definitely avenge her.
Don't say that a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. If you wait ten years, your enemy might have already died naturally. What revenge will you take then?
That's just an excuse for the weak. The "Yun" brand has always been one to take revenge for every wrong done to them, and they will settle their scores today without delay!
According to his adoptive father, this feud was not just a personal grudge of Xixi, but a feud of the entire "Yun" brand!
Twenty years ago, if it weren't for Xixi's mother's protection and shelter, her adoptive father and Scarface's brothers would probably have died long ago in the pursuit of their enemies!
These people were all veterans of the "Yun" brand. It can be said that what Xixi's mother saved back then was not just a single person, but the entire "Yun" brand!
This is why the godfather gave the "Yun" brand name as part of his dowry to Xixi!
Now that they know the cause of Xixi's mother's death, they naturally want to avenge her!
So what if he's a powerful male? Unless he's a god, no one is immune to poison!
If one venom drop isn't enough, then collect it multiple times!
If one person's venom isn't enough, then gather the venom of many!
Little by little, quantitative change leads to qualitative change, and he believes that even a powerful male can be defeated!
To kill the mother and daughter, Xixi must appear and invite them out alone, even if they are accompanied by a powerful male, they must find a secluded place.
In this way, they can make arrangements in advance!
Of course, they did consider going directly to find the mother and daughter.
However, since the Shuoshu tribe had just visited, a second visit in such a short time would be difficult to get past the chief, and they might not even be allowed to enter the tribe.
Secondly, over the years they had often visited Xixi and knew that the mother and daughter did not like them very much. They never met with them alone, and they never even went to the market. At most, they would ask their neighbors to buy some supplies to take back with them.
They also considered not bringing Xixi, but using Xixi's name as a pretext.
After some discussion, they felt that this method was too risky. As an original inhabitant of the Shuoshu tribe, Xixi had publicly participated in the coming-of-age ceremony and many people knew Xixi. It would be difficult for them to get away with it.
Once discovered, there may be no chance of redemption.
After all, what was the purpose of the caravan returning under someone else's name?
