Chapter 42 People and Things You Hate
Luo Yurou had a look on her face that said, "Who knows?"
"Didn't he break off the engagement with you before? His beast mother was a bit upset. Because your family wouldn't let them get any benefit from bamboo salt, right? Back then, she slandered you at the tribe's gate, saying you were unlucky or something. As a result, she was scolded by the shaman and locked in the Cold Wind Cave for three days."
"Guess what Zhou Peng was doing at that time?"
"Are you pursuing Meifeng?"
"How did you know?" Luo Yurou stared at Ruan Xiyue with a look that said, "Something's not right with you."
Ruan Xiyue rolled her eyes and asked, "Isn't this obvious?"
Luo Yurou stared at Ruan Xiyue for a while, then, realizing she was getting bored, she whispered, "It's like this. Zhou Peng's beast mother wasn't getting enough rest in the Cold Wind Cave and got a little sick, right? But Zhou Peng was still going to Mei Feng's place every day and didn't care about his beast mother at all."
"If Zhou Peng's second husband hadn't come back from his parents' home, no one would have known that Zhou Peng's mother was so sick that she didn't even have the strength to eat."
"Zhou Peng's second father scolded him, and he talked back, saying that he had already prepared the meal, but his mother was too lazy to get up to eat, so how could she expect others to serve her? This made Zhou's second husband so angry that he couldn't speak."
"Didn't the Zhou family's beast mother not want Zhou Peng to marry Mei Feng? Because Mei Feng always tricked her beast husbands and various males into hunting for her, but only gave birth to the offspring of the beast husband from her rabbit clan that she brought with her. So the Zhou family's beast mother actually hated Mei Feng. But Zhou Peng was head over heels in love with her and insisted on becoming her mate."
"As a result, Zhou Peng hunted for Mei Feng for a month, and Mei Feng finally agreed. But since they got together, Mei Feng always says that her younger sister and brother are sick and she has to go back home. So she only stays in our tribe for five or six days a month. She usually goes back to the rabbit tribe area of the deer tribe."
"Meifeng's other mate has already found someone else in the female cave. Zhou Peng has been dragging this out. His beast mother always says that if he hadn't brought this on himself, the second cubs you're pregnant with now would definitely be his cubs. So Zhou Peng glared at Qin Ye this morning!"
Ruan Xiyue frowned slightly and asked, "The hunting team wouldn't dare to do anything malicious, would they?"
Luo Yurou rolled her eyes at Ruan Xiyue: "A mere blue-rank beastman causing trouble for a yellow-rank male? Tsk tsk tsk—those who know understand you're worried about your first beastman husband. Those who don't might think you look down on my brother Qin Ye!"
As they talked, they arrived at the stone house of the Chu family. Upon entering, they were overjoyed to see Chu Jiayun. Her two babies were incredibly cute.
“My girlfriends are all going to give birth one after another in a couple of days. We are so grateful to you, Xi Yue.” Chu Jiayun said, holding Ruan Xi Yue’s hand.
Ruan Xiyue waved her hand and said, "How can this be considered my achievement!"
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Chu Jiayun dismissed everyone else and whispered to Ruan Xiyue, "Xiyue, was your second beast husband a wandering beastman before?"
Ruan Xiyue frowned slightly, looked at Chu Jiayun, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Chu Jiayun said, "One of my girlfriends always goes to your house for meals. She's a little female who likes to wear a flower behind her ear and she's been flirting with the guards."
"They captured several wandering orcs, claiming that your second orc husband killed the Holy Maiden."
Ruan Xiyue pursed her lips and remained silent.
Chu Jiayun was taken aback. Seeing that Ruan Xiyue did not refute, she said, "If that's the case, let him leave. It's better for him and for our tribe."
Ruan Xiyue shook her head and said, "My second beast husband is not a wandering beastman. Luo Yurou has seen him two or three times, right? The exile mark of a wandering beastman is very obvious, how could she not feel it? Moreover, if a female is paired with a wandering beastman, her markings will always emit black mist. Do you see any on me?"
Chu Jiayun looked at it for a long time before nodding and saying, "That's fine then. The wandering orcs are already facing death, yet they still dare to slander orcs."
"When did you find out about this?" Ruan Xiyue asked Chu Jiayun.
Chu Jiayun thought for a moment and said, "About a day... no, two days ago."
Ruan Xiyue asked, "Are the guards going to come over and question us again?"
Chu Jiayun shook her head and said, "They've already arrived in Beast City. They should be contacting us to report the killing of the Holy Mother. It'll take them a long time to get there and back, so they probably won't be able to contact you until after the snow melts next year to ask about your second beast husband."
Ruan Xiyue nodded and said, "I have something to ask the witch doctor, so I'll have to talk to you later! Thank you, darling."
Ruan Xiyue inquired with the witch doctor and learned that once the banishment mark of a wandering orc is removed, it is very difficult for other orcs to recognize them.
Ruan Xiyue asked thoughtfully, "Aren't the females very dangerous? Each wandering beastman can kidnap a female and just leave his blood behind."
The witch doctor shook his head and said, “You think no one has ever done this? It doesn’t work. Only when one willingly gives their heart’s blood to their partner does it work. When one is coerced, or when one is filled with despair and fear before death, heart’s blood is useless.”
Ruan Xiyue nodded knowingly, then asked, "Auntie Witch Doctor, when do we need to depart for the Holy Female Test next year?"
"When the snow melts and the spring sun warms the ground, a team of warriors from our tribe will spontaneously escort the females to the testing site."
Ruan Xiyue calculated the time difference and realized that around the time the escort team set off this way, the Cheetah Tribe would also be taking people to participate in the Holy Female Test Conference.
"Duoduo, if the baby I give birth to this time has good aptitude, it will enhance my superpowers, right?"
Yes, host.
Ruan Xiyue then returned to the stone house with peace of mind. He told Long Ze what had happened, and Long Ze asked, "Were you scared?"
Ruan Xiyue pinched Long Ze's cheek and said, "Whether you're scared or not, I'll face it with you."
Long Ze kissed the top of Ruan Xiyue's head.
Ruan Xiyue grabbed Long Ze and said, "If you have any bad ideas, you must say them. Otherwise, it's easy for you to think you're doing this for my own good, but I don't need that kind of 'doing this for my own good'."
Long Ze pursed his lips and said, "What I was thinking just now was that if the fruit doesn't work, I'll leave here. That way, both the tribe and you will be safe."
"Stop guessing. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. They won't set off for our tribe until after the New Year. If we run fast enough, we can reach the Deer Tribe's testing square before the Holy Maiden's test."
"At that time, I believe that no one will offend the new Holy Mother because of the dead Holy Mother."
Long Ze looked at Ji Wu, thought for a moment, and decided not to tell her that she probably wouldn't be able to advance her rank by the end of the year.
