Chapter 171.2 - Parallel World (2) (1/2)

Ch171.2 – Parallel World (2)

Zhou Ji didn’t want to go to bed and watch another version of himself spending time with Xiong Ye, so he quietly followed behind him.

He was relieved to see that in the end, Shi Li didn’t go and sleep with Xiong Ye.

However, he soon felt that he’d been relieved too quickly.

The next day, Shi Li didn’t go out to fool around. Instead, he suddenly warmed up to Xiong Ye. Not only that, he also began to ask around for information from the people of the Beast God Temple.

Because of Shi Li’s status, the High Priest of the Beast God Temple’s attitude towards Shi Li wasn’t bad, and he would answer any questions Shi Li had.

As Shi Li asked one question after another, he suddenly asked, “High Priest, will those who are mated on the day of the Beast God Sacrifice become mates blessed by the Beast God?”

“Of course.” The High Priest replied.

“If they separate, would they make the Beast God unhappy?” Shi Li asked again.

“That is likely. The Beast God likes people who are loyal to their mates.” The High Priest said.

Zhou Ji: “……”

Zhou Ji tried hard to remember and finally realized that in his early years, when he’d still been willing to communicate with the priests of the Beast God Temple, he’d once said that he didn’t like people who betrayed their mates.

So as a result, the High Priest ended up giving Shi Li this kind of answer…

Shi Li soon left. After he left, Zhou Ji appeared in front of the High Priest.

The High Priest knelt down in surprise and joy when he saw Zhou Ji appear so suddenly.

The High Priest in front of him was someone Zhou Ji had chosen himself. This person wasn’t clever, but his personality was devout and kind, and he wouldn’t do any bad things.

Zhou Ji said, “Find a chance to tell Shi Li that the Beast God is in favor of mates who don’t have feelings for each other separating.”

The priest was stunned but agreed immediately, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

Zhou Ji thought for a moment and continued, “Pick out two territories, then tell Shi Li and Xiong Ye that they can go to different places.”

Shi Li and Xiong Ye were mates, and it was reasonable for them not to separate. Therefore, the Beast God Temple had only prepared one territory for them.

However, now that Zhou Ji had spoken, the High Priest naturally agreed to it.

Zhou Ji left after giving his orders.

The High Priest remained in place and thought about it again and again but couldn’t understand––how come it seemed like His Majesty the Beast God wanted to separate Shi Li and Xiong Ye?

Did His Majesty The Beast God have some thoughts towards Shi Li? Why else would he do this?

Thinking of how Zhou Ji had ordered him to treat Shi Li well… The High Priest felt that he’d figured out the truth.

The High Priest was very devoted to Zhou Ji, and he paid a lot of attention to the things Zhou Ji had ordered. At noon that day, he personally went to find Shi Li and Xiong Ye.

Not only was Shi Li well maintained, he was also good at the little niceties. After the High Priest entered Xiong Ye and Shi Li’s house and observing for a while, he discovered that Shi Li was indeed very likable.

Out of all the Beast Kings, he was definitely the one with the most outstanding appearance, and compared to the others, he wasn’t considered old at all.

The High Priest began, “I came here this time to speak with the two honorable Beast Kings about some matters.”

“What is it?” Xiong Ye asked.

“What kind of important matter is there that would move the High Priest himself to come here?” Shi Li smiled and asked. What had happened to him in the Beast God Temple last night had left him with no courage to slack off at all when faced with the priests of the Beast God Temple.

“It’s about the territory of you two Beast Kings.” The High Priest said. “We have prepared two territories for you, and you can each choose one.”

“Two territories?” Xiong Ye and Shi Li were both a little surprised.

The High Priest smiled and spoke about the location of the two territories along with the details regarding each one.

These two territories were a little far away from each other.

“We’re mates and can’t be separated.” Xiong Ye said.

The High Priest had wanted to speak about the matter of mates this entire time, and he finally had the opportunity to do so now, “Who says that mates can’t be separated? Many mates separate on the Beastman Continent.”

Xiong Ye had always felt that since they had already become mates, he should take good care of his other half and wouldn’t easily separate. Now that the High Priest suddenly said this, his brow furrowed––did this person want him and Shi Li to choose different territories?

Shi Li was a little shocked. “Didn’t you say before that the Beast God liked those who were loyal to their mates?”

“Of course the Beast God likes people who are loyal to their mates, but mates who no longer have feelings for each other can separate and become mates with other people. Naturally, they should be loyal to their mates when they have one.” The High Priest was a little tangled in his heart, but his face was very calm and confident.

Xiong Ye was stunned when he heard this news, but Shi Li was glad when he heard this.

And when Xiong Ye turned his head and saw the happy expression on Shi Li’s face, his heart couldn’t help but sink.

Shi Li wanted to ask a few more questions, but he didn’t dare to ask when he thought of how Xiong Ye was right beside him. Unexpectedly, Xiong Ye asked instead, “So originally there was this kind of understanding?”

“Of course there is.” The High Priest gave Xiong Ye a sympathetic look.

Xiong Ye continued, “How is the relationship between mates dissolved?”

The High Priest explained, “Holding a ceremony to dissolve the relationship during the Beast God Sacrifice is enough.”

Xiong Ye no longer spoke. It wasn’t known what Shi Li was thinking, but he also didn’t speak any further.

The High Priest felt that the atmosphere between the two was a little strange, so he laughed a little dryly and said, “You can consider the matter of the territories carefully. I’ll leave first.”

Neither Xiong Ye nor Shi Li got up to see him off.

Xiong Ye’s mood at this time was very complicated.

He’d never been oblivious to the changes in Shi Li.
