Chapter 5: Take This Woman and Get Lost

After saying that, he tremulously stepped aside, revealing the tribespeople surrounded by a dozen or so men behind him.

The beastfolk called the chief walked over and inspected them one by one; these pure humans, though somewhat weak, could recover after a few meals—just right, since many slaves in the tribe had died, so they could be replenished.

He pointed at Wu Yue, whose face was pale and emaciated, looking like a skeleton: "This female is so weak she can't possibly gather or work."

Being so obviously despised, Wu Yue felt depressed.

Sorry, I'm not a slave; I'm basically about to be discarded!

The Snow Tiger Clan chief turned, ripped two thick legs from a carcass, and threw them to the strong man: "Get lost."

The strong man and the few men behind him saw the thick beast leg, their eyes turned red; the strong man waved his hand, and immediately two men stepped forward to lift the leg away.

Then he gestured for the men to drive the tribespeople to one side.

The beastfolk who had been carrying Wu Yue seized the moment to set her down beside a large stone behind the tribespeople, letting her lean against it so she wouldn't collapse in a sorry state.

"Yue, I'm leaving you here; when we go, they won't end up driving you away,"

Having said that, he turned back and returned to the tribe's ranks.

Wu Yue felt utterly weak, her head buzzing; she felt that even lifting a finger now required effort.

Hearing the man's voice, she couldn't help but wryly smile; the chief and the men didn't want to bring her back to waste food, and the Snow Tiger Tribe didn't want to accept this woman who looked like she was about to go see the beast god.

Earlier I was lamenting my future, but reality always gives you a jio~ when you think you're at your worst.

She definitely didn't misread the Snow Tiger Tribe chief's contemptuous gaze just now.

All she wants now is to fiercely wipe her face; it's really a blow.

Sure enough, although the man's move was subtle, it didn't escape the Snow Tiger Tribe warriors' fiery eyes: "Take your people away; don't leave them in our tribe."

Wu Yue: "." Brother, sis doesn't care about face, does she?

Anyone could see this female's weakness—emaciated and pallid, lying small on the grass, breathing shallowly, looking unhealthy; her chances of survival are too slim.

The strong man also looked at Yue with disdain; Yue had been frail and sickly since childhood, though her parents were skilled hunters and gatherers, so she managed to grow up this far.

But in this winter, Yue's father went out hunting and was bitten to death by a beast; she could only rely on A Mu.

As winter was about to end, Yue fell ill again; her A Mu went to look for herbs and also died in a beast's claws.

The tribe didn't want to keep supporting such a burden who couldn't work and still needed food, so everyone unanimously decided to drive her out.

The strong man looked at Wu Yue, whose pallid, frail form seemed reduced to just a skeleton, and chuckled while rubbing his hands: "This female, we in the tribe also don't intend to keep."

If we were to take Yue out now, we'd still have to find a place to dump her, delaying the tribe's return; better to just leave her in the Snow Tiger Tribe for them to deal with.

But the Snow Tiger Tribe chief, being what kind of beast he is, naturally saw through the strong man's little schemes.

A thick pressure poured out from his whole body, his deep voice booming like thunder in his ears: "Don't dare challenge the beastfolk's majesty; take this female and leave the Snow Tiger Tribe!"
