Favorite of the Beast-world: I Got Rich Through Farming-Chapter 236 - 171: Expulsion and the Snake Beast’s Bloodline

Song Ke remained unmoved, but the hands at his sides clenched into tight fists.

"...Lord City Lord."

After a long wait, he finally looked up at An Jin, his face etched with exhaustion. His once handsome and profound features seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

"You want to plead for her?"

An Jin spoke indifferently. She would never agree, and neither would the Beastmen of the city.

But Song Ke lowered his head and shook it, the corners of his mouth forcing a smile tinged with helplessness and bitterness. "Please, City Lord, before you expel her, allow me to do one last thing: dissolve our mate contract."

The Beastmen were in an uproar.

"What?! You want to dissolve our mate contract?" Lin Xixue was stunned. She lay dumbfounded on the ground, lifting her beautiful, tear-filled eyes to stare blankly at Song Ke.

’She... she must be dreaming!’

’She was so beautiful. Countless males had fawned over her, wanting to mate with her. How could any male possibly want to dissolve their contract?!’

’She was a precious and beautiful female! So what if she’d had a moment of weakness and made a mistake? It was discovered before it could cause a huge disaster, wasn’t it?!’

’Why did these people have to be so petty? Couldn’t they just let her go?!’

The onlooking Beastmen were utterly shocked, expressing deep sympathy for Song Ke’s choice.

Even if he dissolved the contract, he could never pursue another female again. He was doomed to be alone for the rest of his life.

If he didn’t even have any offspring, it would be truly pitiful and tragic.

’That’s right... offspring.’

Lin Xixue’s eyes suddenly lit up as if she had just grasped a lifeline. Her face once again filled with arrogance as she scrambled up from the ground and pointed at Song Ke, scolding, "I laid two eagle eggs for you! Are you just going to kick me out like this? Do you want them to grow up without a Beast Mother?"

Song Ke’s expression darkened to an extreme. His chest heaved violently as if the rage suppressed deep within him had finally erupted. He lunged forward, grabbing her by the neck, his fingers turning white from the force. "You mean those eagle eggs from who knows what other male!?"

"...COUGH, COUGH! Wh-what are you talking about? Let me go! You’re choking me!" Lin Xixue struggled to pound on his brawny arm, her eyes rolling back in her head from the lack of air.

"You kept saying you only liked me, but you were mating with countless other males behind my back. Did you think I didn’t know?"

In the end, Song Ke gave a bleak smile, released his grip, and threw her to the ground. The rage on his face gradually faded into indifference.

’At the time, because he liked her, he could overlook all that messy business. Even if that clutch of eagle eggs wasn’t his, he had been willing to raise them.’

’But he never expected Lin Xixue’s heart to be so ugly and twisted that she would even get involved with those damned Demon Beastmen.’

’No matter how low his own morals or how promiscuous he was, he would never fall in love with a female like that.’

’So he knew all along.’ Lin Xixue’s face was deathly pale, completely terrified by Song Ke’s frantic actions.

Originally, she had planned to cling to him and refuse to dissolve the contract, but now she was so scared all she wanted to do was run.

"You think I care about you? With my looks, I can find a male Beastman a thousand times stronger than you! I’ll dissolve the contract with you right now and leave this garbage city!" She grabbed her disheveled hair with both hands and shrieked madly, all traces of her initial beautiful and gentle demeanor gone.

Song Ke let out a breath and, for some reason, smiled in relief. "...That would be for the best."

’He had figured things out over the past few days. He didn’t actually love her; he had only been attracted to her beauty at first.’

’If someone even more beautiful had come along back then, he would have liked her just the same.’

’He had no real feelings for her at all.’

’No wonder he had felt so empty ever since they became mates. Now, everything was clear.’

As for Lin Xixue, she had long since grown tired of Song Ke. Dissolving the contract was no loss to her, anyway. It was just one less mark on her body. Finding another powerful Beastman to depend on was only a matter of time.

Song Ke, on the other hand, had lost the right to ever form a lifelong contract again.

At this thought, she felt a surge of vindication. After being expelled from the city, Lin Xixue sneered and yelled back at the city gate, "Do you know why I got involved with those Demon Beastmen? Because you stupid Beastmen actually made *that* female your City Lord! What right does she have?!"

’She’s nothing but a native female, yet she’s lorded it over me time and time again.’

’Ever since An Jin appeared, the males’ gazes were no longer on her. Instead, they all flocked to curry favor with that native female!’
