Chapter 54: You're blind!

Seeing herself say that, the beastman still ignored her, continuing to sit there grilling meat by himself. Ye Duo's tears welled up even more: 'Yuan Lang, you don't want to pay attention to me anymore?'

Unable to bear a burly‑like female chattering in front of him, Yuan Lang lifted his gaze: 'Are you blind?'

Ye Duo stared blankly at the beastman's handsome face lit by the fire, her eyes burning: 'What?'

Yuan Lang sneered: 'I said you're blind—can't you see I don't like you? From now on, stop loitering near me; it annoys me.'

Thinking of this female's little schemes, Yuan Lang felt nothing but dislike.

The original host was foolish, always thinking this female was weak and needed protection, and that her whining would draw sympathy.

He even saw several times that this female used tricks to bully other females in the tribe and then made excuses for her.

Yuan Lang is no longer the simple‑minded beastman of before; these petty tricks are nothing but leftovers from palace ladies, noble girls, and even inner‑court women.

He has seen plenty of those dirty tactics.

The surrounding noise suddenly fell silent.

Everyone in the tribe knew about what was going on between Yuan Lang and Ye Duo, but most of it was Ye Duo herself telling the tribespeople; Yuan Lang, focused on hunting and growing stronger, neither refused nor responded.

But everyone assumed that meant he acquiesced.

The tribe members also believed Ye Duo would surely become Yuan Lang's mate in the future, so whenever they saw her go to him, they unconsciously paid attention, waiting to jump up and celebrate the moment they announced the good news.

The tribe hadn't held a mating ceremony in a long time, and everyone was eager to see such a joyful event.

But things often go as expected at the start, yet the ending is unpredictable.

Yuan Lang's dislike for Ye Duo in his eyes was genuine; in other words, all along it had been Ye Duo's own imagination—Yuan Lang never wanted to be her mate at all.

Yuan Lang's father, A Mu, glanced at the middle‑aged beastman couple beside him and smiled somewhat awkwardly.

That was precisely Ye Duo's father and A Mu; they had intended to settle the matter of Yuan Lang and Ye Duo today, since Yuan Lang was no longer young and should have a mate and offspring.

But, oh dear~

What on earth is this troublesome brat doing now?

Before going to fetch salt, he had even asked him what he thought of Ye Duo, and he hadn't said she was fine?

How come he now acts as if seeing a pile of shit right in front of him?

Ye Duo snapped out of her infatuation; the surrounding silence combined with Yuan Lang's contemptuous gaze made her toes curl and her face flush: 'Yuan Yuan Lang, what did you say?'

She could hardly believe her ears—she was the most popular human female among the males in the tribe, aside from the beastwoman warriors.

Now all the beastwoman females in the tribe already have mates; if Yuan Lang doesn't want her, does he mean he wants to share a beastwoman with those beastmen?

"I said, get out of my sight." Looking at this affected female, Yuan Lang felt disgust from the bottom of his heart.

While hunting today, he overheard a half‑beast male from another hunting squad talking to his companion.

This female, who had promised to wait for the original host's return, had already mated with other males the day after the original host went to fetch salt.

Thinking this through, Yuan Lang felt indignant on behalf of the original host, and coldly said: 'We only exchanged a few words; many females have spoken to me—does that mean they all have to become my mate?'
