Chapter 598: Face-slapping comes this fast

The triangular-eyed beastman's face turned bitter; he had brought out the shaman from his territory, hoping the other would spare him out of respect for the shaman's face, but he didn't expect Wu Yue to not even give the shaman face.

"Lady Wu Yue, please don't be fooled just because you live in a forest by these two tribes' despicable... tribefolk; they just said they are under the protection of the Or Vine Tribe Medicine Shaman."

"Our Shaman said, the Snow Moon Tribe and our Kuma Tribe are the same, both hostile to that Or Vine Tribe, especially the Medicine Shaman."

Wu Yue gave the triangular-eyed beastman a surprised look; although he's not much of a person, his mind is still quite sharp.

"I'm quite familiar with these two tribes; I'm very clear whether they are the Medicine Shaman's people."

She pondered for a moment, then looked toward the East Mulberry Clan Chief and the Hemp Auspicious Clan Chief who had walked not far away: "They harmed your two tribes; how to deal with them is up to you."

"However, out of respect for the Healing Shaman's face, you cannot kill them."

She looked at the East Mulberry and Hemp Auspicious Clan Chiefs: "You guys have no problem, right?"

East Mulberry and Hemp Auspicious nodded unwillingly: "We'll follow you."

Wu Yue nodded: "Mm."

Then she looked again at the triangular-eyed beastman standing respectfully to the side: "And you?"

The triangular-eyed beastman glanced at the East Mulberry and Hemp Auspicious tribe members with red eyes staring at him; he felt his mouth was more bitter than drinking the shaman's herbal decoction, but facing this shaman whom even the shaman ordered not to be rude, he could only stiffen his neck and nod: "I... I also obey you."

Wu Yue nodded, then solemnly ordered: "You must not fight back."

The triangular-eyed one cried: "Yes... yes..."

Not being able to fight back, you might as well just say let me stand still and take the beating.

Wu Yue gave the East Mulberry and Hemp Auspicious Clan Chiefs a look, then rode on Snow Treader and walked aside with Yuan Lang and company.

East Mulberry and Hemp Auspicious exchanged a glance, then both smirked and walked toward the stiff-faced triangular-eyed beastman.

"Hmph..."

"Ow!"

"Ayu ayu~ Don't! Don't hit the face!"

"Damn, I said don't hit the face, why do you keep aiming for the face... ow!"

"I was wrong, I still hid some private herbs behind the clan chief's back; I'll give them all to you, hit lightly... ow! How come after taking the stuff you hit harder? Sniffle..."

The miserable howl echoed through the forest; nearby, some tribe members hearing it came over to peek, wondering if they could get some advantage.

But upon seeing that ferocious huge Cloud Treader Queen, each shrank their necks, wishing they could grow four legs to scurry away.

After beating the triangular-eyed beastfolk tribe soundly and looting all their belongings, the East Mulberry Clan Chief and the Hemp Auspicious Clan Chief finally "greatly mercifully" let them go.

The triangular-eyed clan chief, nose bruised and face swollen, dragged his body that had grown a circle fatter to bid farewell to Wu Yue, baring his missing tooth, letting Wu Yue see the Healing Shaman and definitely not speak of today's events.

Seeing his miserable state, Wu Yue generously agreed.

After the triangular-eyed beastman led his people away, the East Mulberry Clan Chief and the Hemp Auspicious Clan Chief exchanged a glance, then piled all the items they had just looted from the triangular-eyed beastfolk tribe onto the open ground before Wu Yue and company.

"Lady Wu Yue, thank you for saving us; we have already taken revenge, please accept these items."

Teng Qian's eyes gleamed as he looked at Wu Yue seated on the Cloud Treader's back; his gaze could not be more blatant.

Wu Yue nodded: "Put them away."

Even if these things were given to East Mulberry and Hemp Auspicious, they couldn't keep them.

Especially now that tribal competition is about to end, the phenomenon of looting items will only worsen; tribes without strength will not only lose the supplies they painstakingly prepared, but may even lose their lives.

She looked at the East Mulberry and Hemp Auspicious Clan Chiefs, who seemed to have sighed in relief; seeing her accept the items, they also seemed to sigh in relief.

"I will have Teng Qian organize these items; I will take half, and the remaining half I will keep here, and give them to you when I return."

East Mulberry and Hemp Auspicious were startled upon hearing this, and quickly said: "Lady Wu Yue, our lives are saved by you; how could we ask for that half of the items? We cannot take it."

"No need to say more; I will only take half of these things."

She then directly changed the subject: "What do you plan to do next?"

East Mulberry and Hemp Auspicious Clan Chiefs exchanged a glance and gave a bitter smile: "We can no longer continue participating in the competition, and the forest is becoming increasingly dangerous, so we are preparing to return."

Originally we thought their strength in Lin River Forest would put them at the top among males, but we didn't expect that here even a random tribe could press us and rub against us; this truly made both feel uneasy.

Moreover, the tribe members who came this time are all the tribe's hopes; we cannot let them fail here.

The next day, after Wu Yue and company had rested for a night, they parted ways with the members of the two tribes.

In the following time, Wu Yue and company, after looting the items of several tribes, also turned around and began heading toward the exit.

At that moment, on the mountaintop outside the forest, the Long Curly Hair Beastman had already brought his own people and a group of wounded Or Vine Tribe beastman warriors back to the Medicine Shaman's tent.

The Medicine Shaman seated at the head had a pitch-black face, looking at the beastman warriors strewn about the ground, his anger surged.

"'This is how you serve me? Not a single hair of theirs was harmed, yet you all end up dead or injured—what use are you?'"

Panting, he sat on the beastskin mat at the head, gazing at the wounded for a long time, then finally waved his hand and released a thick surge of shamanic power to heal their bodily injuries.

The Long Curly Hair Beastman sat aside, chewing on fragrant roasted meat, until all the Or Vine Tribe beastman warriors had left, then he looked at him.

"'Shaman, we've finished disciplining your tribe's useless stuff; now should we talk about compensation?'"

The Medicine Shaman was startled, a stiff smile cracking his old face: "What compensation?"

The Long Curly Hair Beastman's finger, stained with meat juice, pointed behind himself: "You haven't noticed that my squad is missing a person?"

The Medicine Shaman's old face stiffened; damn, this old fogey can't even count his own tribe's people—who has the time to count how many you brought over?

Yet his face showed deep concern: "Actually a tribe member is missing? I don't know which tribe is so bold as to dare injure your tribe member."

The Long Curly Hair Beastman snorted coldly: "Isn't it just the Snow Moon Tribe you wanted to clean up?"

Thinking of this, his expression also became somewhat solemn: "The person who was captured was seized by my father himself to be my slave; his combat strength is very strong."

If I cannot bring back sufficiently valuable items, my father will certainly come in person to inquire.
