Chapter 151: Unmasking the Wolf Girl
Got tricked?
A Mu and a group of tribe members didn't understand how they were deceived. "Qinghuan, what are you saying?"
A Mu's earlier words were pleading for Acai; Nan Qinghuan knows they were deceived, and Jingang wouldn't go berserk that easily unless, as Youchao Xuan said, the Wolf Girl intends to kill him; Jingang would only attack the Wolf Girl if he came to rescue someone.
Unfortunately, this woman is shouting "catch the thief" here.
This business isn't over.
"A Mu, don't speak for her; you all were deceived by him. Youchao Xuan, come in."
As soon as those words were spoken, Youchao Xuan limped in from outside, his leg still hurting with every step. Seeing that Youchao Xuan was still alive, Acai's eyes darkened, but she quickly calmed down.
Youchao Xuan glared fiercely at Acai, a strange smile curling his mouth, then walked to Nan Qinghuan's side and said to Ying, "Ying, this female wants to kill me and Jingang; if it weren't for our strong fate, we'd have died long ago."
Youchao Xuan's words stirred Acai; she glared at him, "Youchao Xuan, what nonsense are you spouting? You and I have no grudges—why would you want to kill me?"
Youchao Xuan gave Acai a cold glance, "You still want to argue? The day the Goddess was driven out by Ying was because you colluded with Shiva. Fearing I'd tell the Goddess and Ying, you tried to silence me. Jingang sensed I was in danger and came to protect me, but I fell for your trap and was nearly stabbed to death by tribe members."
"No, you're lying."
Acai shouted to deny it. After hearing Youchao Xuan's and Acai's words, Ying suddenly set down the clay bowl in his hand, strode forward, and stood above Acai, looking down at her.
His gaze was sharp and merciless, as if eyeing a tiny prey, and his words were icy, "Did you do this?"
Acai kept shaking her head, tears streaming down, looking utterly aggrieved, "It wasn't me. He's lying. He's lying."
"Lying?"
Ying lifted his eyes to glance at Youchao Xuan, "He's from the Otherworld; I believe his words. Acai, won't you admit it?"
"Ying, just because I'm an orphan girl, you condemn me like that?"
"Orphan girl?"
Nan Qinghuan snorted, almost laughing. "You little brat, I'll expose your true face later."
"Ying, she's a vicious woman, not worthy of sympathy."
Hearing Nan Qinghuan's words, Ying reached out and clamped his hand around Acai's throat; the squeeze turned Acai's face pale instantly. She struggled beneath him but refused to admit anything.
"This is slander; it's not me, not me."
Ying's breathing was a bit rapid, his eyes narrowing slightly, "Still not admitting?"
Wuwu…
Acai hadn't expected the sudden choke to be unbearable; her eyes began to turn green. Ying gave her a disgusted glance, then flicked his hand and threw her down forcefully.
Acai, unable to dodge, fell onto the muddy ground, wincing in pain with a hoarse grimace.
Ying withdrew his hand, his eyes full of disgust, his stare at her like he was looking at a corpse, "I knew your purpose for coming to the Tribe. Last time I warned you not to scheme against me, yet you didn't listen, and you even dared to collude with Shiva against Qinghuan. Acai, how you want to die is your own choice."
Ying may be somewhat barbaric, but he's clever; he knows everything Acai has done. He just wanted to see if Nan Qinghuan would get jealous because of her, but he was wrong.
She seemed to disregard Acai.
Was it too much trust in him or simply not caring? He didn't want to think it through, fearing an answer he didn't want.
Ying's words made Acai's face change; she gritted her teeth, scrambled to her feet, and glared fiercely at Ying, "You want me dead?"
"You choose how to die yourself."
Ying turned his back, his expression cold, "I never intended to bring you back. Your long life is a gift from the Heavenly God; this time, you brought death upon yourself."
"I brought death upon myself?"
Acai straightened her body, trembling yet upright, her eyes hopelessly fixed on Ying.
"Heh…"
She gave a self‑mocking laugh, flicked her hair, and her resentful wolf eyes emitted a green glow; seeing that light, A Mu stepped back several paces in fright.
The desire to help her vanished, "You, you really aren't a good person."
A Mu, more disgusted and fearful toward Acai, said, "I told you before that wolves can't come to the Tribe; look at her eyes."
Seeing those green eyes reminded A Mu of Ying's father, who abandoned them to be with the Wolf Girl and never returned.
She hates the wolf tribe, and hates the Wolf Girl even more.
Ying didn't want any more entanglement with Acai; he signaled Ji Lei and Dashan, "Take her away."
Ying gave the order, but Acai refused to concede; she stared coldly at his back, her eyes still showing affection.
"Why? Why treat me like this? Is it because Nan Qinghuan returned that you avoid me? But that day we already…"
"Shut up. Nothing happened that day; don't stir trouble here."
Ying suddenly twisted his head, glaring at Acai with anger. He hadn't expected this female to dare slander him.
Damn!
Acai wasn't afraid of death; she shifted her gaze to Nan Qinghuan and smirked, "Nan Qinghuan, I'll tell you the truth: yes, I like Ying. I came to the Tribe because of him. But don't be so arrogant; you also lost. That night we were already together, the night you were punished, he took my body here, right on the stone table."
Boom!
One stone sent ripples across a thousand layers.
Acai's shameless words left everyone present stunned. How could this be? When did Ying and Acai become involved? How could they not know? Ying was taken aback but remained silent, his expression complex as he stared at Nan Qinghuan, perhaps to see if she'd believe him. All eyes were on Nan Qinghuan; she was first startled, then, seeing Acai's demeanor, seemed to consider it plausible, and her mind exploded with a sudden bang.
It almost left her scorched on the outside and tender inside.
Youchao Xuan, seeing her complexion worsen, hurried to comfort her, "Goddess, don't believe this female's words; she's deceiving you."
A Mu felt a bit guilty, perhaps her own son really did sleep with Acai. Knowing Nan Qinghuan would mind, she anxiously grabbed Nan Qinghuan's hand, gently comforting, "Qinghuan, don't argue with Ying. In our Tribe, a female can have many males. Ying is the Clan Leader; he can also have many…"
Many females!
These words made Nan Qinghuan feel disgusted, "A Mu, stop talking. I don't want to hear this. In the Tribe, any man can have many women, but my man cannot."
The crowd didn't understand her words, but could see she was angry; she wouldn't accept Ying taking Acai.
Nan Qinghuan clenched her teeth and pushed away A Mu's arm. Remembering Ying's odd behavior earlier, she walked step by step toward him; she found her steps felt as if weighted with lead, each stride laborious.
Ying stood there waiting for her; the two simply stared at each other.
Nan Qinghuan looked at him with a clear, unflinching gaze; she seemed steadier inside, pointed at Acai, "She's lying, right?"
