My Salted Fish Life in the Beast World

Before the next morning, they had already packed their bags and discussed the time to leave.

But Yue couldn't bear to leave Dao and Zhao, so she kept delaying and didn't go to the Elf Forest.

The situation in Four Beasts City was becoming increasingly tense. The city lord secretly marched south, giving the Beast King an opportunity to retaliate against the severely injured city lord.

The city lord was busy cleaning up the mess after the war. Especially with Shuke's serious injury, he gradually became unable to cope with it.

This gave the Beast King an opportunity to unite with other forces in the North to launch a devastating attack on the city lord.

But as the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. The city lord has been in charge of the richest city in the North for many years. The wealth he has accumulated is immeasurable. There are also many orcs working for him.

This duel lasted for several months. It was not until the warm season came that it came to an end. In the end, the Beast King barely won.

The Yue government has always been in a neutral position. Dao even spread the news that he was too sad to leave his beloved daughter and fell ill. In the end, he even resigned from his official position and stayed indoors.

Not long after, Zhao, the eldest son, also resigned from his job to take care of his sick father.

The Beast King symbolically tried to persuade them to stay, and then he readily agreed. Now he was enjoying the joy of victory. He had gotten rid of the worry that had been bothering him for many years. He was a little too proud of himself. He even looked down on the most learned Confucian family in the North. He was happy for the departure of the two. From now on, no one in the world could compete with him! How could he not be excited? From then on, he reveled every night, living a life of drunkenness and dreams.

Dao and Zhao Ke didn't care about the Beast King's thoughts. Shu Yan, on the other hand, was very worried. Seeing her own male cub acting more and more high-profile because of his uncle, she felt even more upset. She was thinking about going back to her mother's house to persuade her brother. Before she left the house, she heard the news of the Beast King's sudden death.

Shu Yan was caught off guard and fell to the ground. He didn't have a knife, so he was too panicked. He asked someone to help Shu Yan into the house and told them to find a witch doctor. Then he took Zhao and rushed to Yue's yard anxiously.

"Father, brother, what happened?" Yue asked, not knowing what was going on, as she looked at the two people in a hurry.

"Yes! The Beast King is dead!" Dao replied.

"What!? How could it be? He just defeated the city lord!" Wei Genyue said in horror.

"It's true!" Zhao said affirmatively after closing the doors and windows tightly.

"The news is definitely correct. But his death is too strange. I know him. Judging from his age, he was still in his prime. He would come to visit him every morning and evening, and there would be a witch doctor to treat him. He would never go to see the Beast God just because of a few days of extravagant spending." Dao Bian said while frowning and thinking.

"Hey~! Everyone has their own destiny. Father, don't worry too much! Fortunately, you and brother withdrew from the quagmire of power in time. Living well in the present and protecting yourself is the most important thing." Wei was the first to figure it out and comforted everyone. After Ya's betrayal, he now just wants his family to be together, safe and healthy.

"Yeah! Wei is right! We just need to live our own lives. Let them fight!" Yue also expressed his own point of view. "By the way, father and brother. I have discussed with Wei. You can come with us to find Ming and Ye! Oh~! And Shuyang. He is a father and brother...so we are worried about him staying here. He also agreed to go with us. As for the others, they are living well here, so we won't talk about them."

"We came here to discuss this matter with you two." Dao looked at his female cub tenderly. "Hey~! Zhao and I have made a decision long ago. I have been a prophet and wise man for my whole life. Even if I die, my bones will be buried in the land of the north. This is my father's root. As for your brother, he also has his own mission. The male beasts of the Yue family will never escape at any time. So, we can't go with you. I'm sorry! My father's little Yueyue. You will see the wider world on our behalf! Be free, be happy, and be well..." Dao choked up and touched Yue's head. He didn't dare to look into Yue's eyes. He knew in his heart that this departure might be a farewell forever.

"Father~!" Yue threw herself into her father's broad chest, crying sadly.

"Okay~! You're still like a little female cub. Oh~! When you were a child, you were like this too. Whenever you were wronged, you would cry in your father's arms. At that time, your father could still hold you in his arms! Not anymore! In a blink of an eye, my little Yueyue has grown up so big! You're already a mother. Oh! You're a grandmother now!" Dao recalled the good old days.

"Yeah! Time flies!" Zhao Ye sighed.

"Alright! You and Wei quickly pack up and leave now. Go find Ming and the others! Be careful!" Dao pushed Yue away and solemnly handed her to Wei. "Yue! I'm leaving it to you!"

"Don't worry, Father! I am with the Moon!" Without making a solemn promise.

"Okay! Let's go!" Dao looked at the two of them reluctantly and urged them.

"Have a safe trip!" Zhao said, trying hard to suppress the sadness of parting.

"Father! Brother!" Yue didn't expect it to be so sudden. She couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Yue'er~!..."

"Bang, bang, bang!" The rapid knocks on the door interrupted Dao's instructions.

"Master! The imperial master has come to visit with the new king! They are waiting in the living room! You'd better go and see them quickly." Uncle Fu's anxious voice came from outside the house.

"New king!?" Everyone in the room was shocked. The king just passed away last night, and the new king took the throne this morning?

"Yes! Um~...but...he is my uncle. Please come out and take a look soon!" This was also the reason why Uncle Fu came to report anxiously.

The room was completely silent. The four people had never expected that while the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is waiting behind. Unexpectedly, the one who finally gained the upper hand was actually Ya.

"Humph! What a villain who succeeds! Father..."

"Zhao, I'll go and hold them back now. You take Yue'er and the others away quickly through the secret passage. Quick! Quick!" Dao interrupted Yue and gave the order hastily.

"Yue'er! Stay well with Wei!" After saying that, Dao loosened his grip, held Yue'er and Wei's hands tightly, and turned to leave.

"Father~!" Yue cried out while crying.

"Let's go! Quickly! Let's go find Shu Yang, and then leave through the secret passage." Zhao made a prompt decision and left quickly with Yue and Wei.

Fortunately, Shu Yang was not far away. Seeing them, he hurried over. He thought something big had happened.

"Yang! Hurry up and pack up your important things. We have to leave immediately." Before Shu Yang could speak, Zhao spoke first.

Fortunately, they had discussed it in advance and knew they were leaving. Shu Yang put all his belongings in the treasure bag, which meant he could leave immediately.

Zhao stopped talking nonsense. He led them, away from everyone, and quietly sneaked into Dao's study and came to the cellar where ice was once made. He walked to a wall and fumbled for a few times, and a stone door opened.

"Okay! I'll take you here. Follow the passage and keep going straight, and you will reach the dense forest outside the city. Let's go!" Zhao looked at Yue reluctantly and said.

"Brother!" Yue couldn't hide the worry in her eyes.

"Okay! We'll meet again if we're destined to...if we're destined to, Yue'er has grown up! You and Wei have to walk the road ahead together." Zhao said in a hoarse voice. He looked at Wei again. "I'll leave Yue to you! Take care!"

"Don't worry! The same goes for you and father!" Wei hugged his partner tightly and said goodbye to Tong Zhao with a firm look.

Zhao waved his hand and closed the stone door with difficulty. He didn't have much time to feel sad. He had sent his father and his weak spot away. He no longer had any worries. Now he had to cheer up and fight side by side with his father.
