Chapter 1739 Worth Saving
"Twenty ice owl cubs, and later, many adult ice owls that it either tricked or captured—so many lives, not even one of its own could compensate for them," Bing Yi said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Yan Li's gaze toward the ice owl still fighting with the Si family members became even more piercing.
This isn't just being love-struck; it's completely devoid of humanity.
"Li'er, shall we just charge out and destroy that Ice Owl?" Gongsun Zijun asked Yan Li after learning that the Ice Owl was a traitor to the Ice Owl clan.
“Wait a little longer. If we go out and kill that Ice Owl now, Si Yu won’t thank us for saving their lives. Instead, she’ll blame us for killing the Ice Owl and causing her to lose her contracted beast,” Yan Li said.
Anyway, the Si family members seem to be quite capable in combat, so I'm not going to do anything that's thankless and exhausting.
“That’s true. Si Yu is obviously not mentally sound.” Wen Mi nodded in agreement.
So Yan Li and the other two hid to the side, each holding a spirit fruit and watching the show...
As for the Si family, they were able to keep up at the beginning of the battle, but as their spiritual energy was depleted, they felt increasingly powerless.
"Patriarch, this Ice Owl is too powerful. We need to find a way to escape," said the First Elder of the Si family.
“That’s right, we are no match for it at all. Continuing to fight will only be a waste of our lives.” The third elder of the Si family had a large gash on his arm that was still dripping blood.
"No, we finally found an Ice Owl, we must catch it, I want a contract, a contract." Si Yu's eyes were filled with madness.
"If you keep arguing like this, you'll die. You're still thinking about the contract," the Fourth Elder of the Si family said irritably.
"If Yan Li hadn't left, that would have been great. She has two Ice Owls with her; she wouldn't have been afraid of losing to them," Si Yu said, her voice full of complaints.
Upon hearing this, Bingxiao, who had been attacking desperately, immediately stopped and looked at Siyu with sharp eyes, his cold gaze seemingly piercing through her.
Si Yu trembled all over when she met Bing Xiao's gaze; Bing Xiao was simply too powerful.
At that moment, she was both afraid and unwilling to give up.
"You just said someone has two Ice Owls?" Ice Owl asked.
"No, you misheard. You are the only Ice Owl we have encountered," Old Master Si replied immediately.
He knew that if the ice owl in front of him found out that Yan Li had two of its kind, it would definitely cause her trouble.
"Who is it?" Upon hearing this, Ice Owl released its oppressive aura.
Yan Li, who was hiding to the side, looked at the Si family members with great interest.
"I can tell you, but only if you form a contract with me. Then I'll take you to her." Before the Si family head could react, Si Yu spoke up.
"Si Yu, what nonsense are you talking about?" The head of the Si family was completely disappointed in Si Yu at this moment.
A person who betrays others for their own benefit has no right to be the heir of the Si family.
“Grandpa, you know I can’t beat it. If it’s willing to form a contract with me, our Si family’s strength will increase, and we can save our lives. Why not?” Si Yu said, looking at the Si family head.
"Even if you desperately want to contract the Ice Owl, you can't lie." The Si family head made up his mind, insisting that Si Yu was lying about contracting the Ice Owl.
“That’s right, Si Yu, you can’t lie for your own selfish reasons,” the eldest elder of the Si family also spoke up.
“Indeed, the people of our Si family are all upright and honest. Even when facing magical beasts, you cannot make things up.” The third elder of the Si family nodded.
"Si Yu, we are so disappointed in you." The fourth elder of the Si family sighed after saying this.
The rest of the Si family echoed this sentiment...
"You...you...does that outsider Yan Li matter more to you than I do?" Si Yu roared.
Patriarch Si: ...
It's not that Yan Li is important, but as a member of the Si family, I can't do something that harms others for my own benefit.
"What did you just say?" Bingxiao stared intently at Siyu.
“I said, as long as you form a contract with me, I can take you to find Yan Li, the one who owns two Ice Owls.” Si Yu looked up at the Ice Owls.
"How dare you! You dare to negotiate with me? And to make things worse, you even dare to try to form a contract with me!" Bingxiao shouted, sending Siyu flying.
Si Yu was knocked flying and crashed into a tree, coughing up blood continuously...
The head of the Si family wanted to go and rescue her, but facing the menacing Bing Xiao, he could only ensure the safety of the rest of the Si family first.
"Tell me, who exactly owns two Ice Owls?" The Ice Owl's gaze fell on the Si family head.
It felt it could find that person, and perhaps even a new habitat for the Ice Owl clan.
Then I can admit my mistake. With the protection of the Ice Owl Clan, I won't have to fear attacks from the Cloud Vulture Clan anymore.
"Oh...it's so lively?" As soon as the words were spoken, Yan Li and the others deactivated their invisibility and walked out from the side.
Judging from the behavior of the Si family members just now, Yan Li felt that they were worth saving.
"Miss Yan, why are you here at this time? Hurry up, it's dangerous here." The head of the Si family was a little anxious when he saw Yan Li suddenly appear.
"You carry the aura of my kind. Have you been in contact with them? Where are they now?" The Ice Owl's gaze fell on Yan Li.
The aura of Ice Owl on Yan Li was deliberately leaked by Ice Soul.
"Do you think I'd tell you?" Yan Li looked at Bing Xiao across from her with a mocking gaze, as if she were looking at a stray dog.
Yan Li's gaze directly angered the Ice Owl, which roared and attacked Yan Li.
"Miss Yan, be careful!" The Si family head shouted anxiously, leading the Si family elders to rush over to help Yan Li withstand the attack of the Ice Owl.
Before they even arrived, Yan Li had already taken out her weapon and, to their horror, chopped off the head of the Ice Owl.
The Si family members were completely petrified upon seeing this scene!
Ice Owl, whose head was suddenly chopped off, died with his eyes wide open in disbelief!
"Yan Li, what are you doing? My Ice Owl, my contracted beast!" Si Yu, who had just climbed down from the tree, roared upon seeing this.
Yan Li didn't even bother to glance at her, instead looking around warily.
Just as a strong wind picked up all around, Yan Li took out a protective talisman array to shield the Si family members.
Except for Si Yu!
Therefore, Si Yu, who had just climbed down from the tree and regained her footing, was once again blown away by the strong wind and crashed back into the tree.
"Master, it's the Cloud Vulture Clan. It seems they've been hiding in the shadows observing us all along, and now that they see you've killed that traitor, they want to come out and steal it," Bingyi's voice came.
"Is the flesh and blood of the Ice Owl really that tempting to them?" Yan Li asked, somewhat puzzled.
“Our flesh and blood are not only incredibly tempting to the Cloud Vulture clan, but also to any magical beast. This is why our Ice Owls are so few in number,” Bing Yi explained.
"In that case, this traitor cannot be wasted." After saying that, Yan Li put the decapitated Ice Owl into her spatial storage.
