Chapter 111: Reaching Consensus

Exactly!

Go, go, go, you're not welcome here!

Ya and the others don't want to hear what Rui says; she's already deceived them once, and they won't let her fool them a second time.

After just driving Rui away, the other two females, recalling Rui's gaunt expression, couldn't help but say to Ya:

"Rui seems to have had a hard time in Youbuluo; will we end up like her?"

When that was said, Ya, whose thoughts had been unsettled by that pair of brothers, fell silent at once.

…

"Yun Li, are you sure you want to bring out these two skills just to exchange those four females back?"

You Ruo wore a warm smile, and the look in her eyes toward Yun Li was full of amusement.

If the Silver Eagle Tribe learned that Yun Li was bringing these two things solely to trade for a few females, who knows if they'd be so angry they'd pound their chests and spit blood.

Of course, if she knew, the Silver Eagle Clan Chief, fully aware of the condition under which Yun Li was willing to offer those two skills, still shirked and was thinking of using the Meixiong scheme to make Yun Li hand over the items.

One fears that the Silver Eagle Clan Chief's gaze would be so shallow, trying to bind Yun Li to the Silver Eagle Tribe; recommending Meixiong's promotion is indeed a good method, but it's unclear when to act, and it's odd—though they could have secured those two skills first, they instead go around in circles with others.

Now, it's fine: they haven't gotten what they want yet, but Youbuluo has already gotten it first.

When the rainy season arrives, Youbuluo will probably rely on these two skills to earn a full pot.

"I naturally have more than just this condition; I also hope that Youbuluo will no longer treat females as tradable items, and that such behavior will cease in the future.

If Youbuluo can manage that, I may have more of what you desire here."

Yun Li's purpose has always been clear: to stop the trade of women at its source, preventing it from becoming a cruel reality.

"Is that all? It sounds not hard to achieve. But Youbuluo now has a surplus of single males.

If they never get females, I can't guarantee what those long‑single males will do once they go out."

You Ruo said, nodding as if very troubled, then as if she had thought of something, "How about this: you do me a favor. I, in turn, won't ask for anything else from you.

From now on, whenever it involves female trade, I will not only refrain, but I can assure you that the Beast Husband of Youbuluo will, upon seeing such an incident, step in to stop it."

"What favor?"

Yun Li furrowed her brows, not knowing what plan was forming in her mind.

"Don't worry, this won't put you in a difficult position; I just want you to stay here a few more days."

When You Ruo said that, Mu Qing and Leng Xiao, who had been standing behind Yun Li, instantly turned their gazes toward her, their looks at You Ruo carrying a hint of coldness.

Seeing this, Ke Si also cast a cold stare.

The Priest sitting nearby said with a smile, "Our clan chief is only keeping you for a few days; there's no need to be so tense. After all, the females you wish to take have recently gotten along well with the males of our Tribe.

So even if you intend to leave, shouldn't you ask the females themselves whether they are willing to go?"

Hearing that, a flash of surprise crossed Yun Li's face, but she quickly shook her head toward the two Beast Husbands behind her.

"You let me stay here a few more days, fine, but what's your purpose? Those two skills aren't very complex; a single day is enough to teach you both.

The You Tribe Chief might as well speak plainly."

The females' upright and calm demeanor caused a flash of surprise in You Ruo's eyes.

But her desire to keep Yun Li wasn't out of ulterior motives; it was genuine…

Thinking of those females, the smile on You Ruo's face faded.

"Yun Li, the favor I want you to help with concerns several females of our Tribe."

As mentioned before, Youbuluo does have a portion of outsider females.

Among them are those who voluntarily entered Youbuluo seeking a better life, those taken in when they had nowhere else to go, and a portion consisting of captured eagle females and females sent by their own tribe in search of Youbuluo's protection.

These outsider females mostly harbor prejudice against Snake Beastmen, but after a long stay in Youbuluo they gradually become accustomed to life there.

Even if some females, relying on their gender, occasionally cause trouble, as long as it doesn't involve matters of life and death, Youbuluo remains quite tolerant of them.

Yet even with such leniency, a few females have caused upheavals and refuse to stay in Youbuluo.

You Ruo wants Yun Li's help to persuade those few females, because their males, for this reason, would rather have their own females continuously hurt themselves than let them leave the Tribe.

Upon hearing that it was such a favor, Yun Li immediately refused.

"I'm an outsider in this matter; how can I persuade them? Their lives are theirs; if they don't want to live properly with their Beast Husbands, can a few words from me make them willing to stay in Youbuluo?"

"You don't have to reject so hastily; since I think you can be of help, there must be a reason on my side.

Or if you have other conditions, feel free to state them; as long as it's within our power, we can satisfy you."

You Ruo thought that since Yun Li was willing to trade such important skills for a few unfamiliar females, it showed that this female's heart was still soft.

Just a few words could save several soon‑to‑break Beast families, so she didn't think Yun Li was unwilling to help.

But the earlier conversation also revealed that this seemingly soft‑tempered young female was actually very calculating; even if she truly wanted to help, she wouldn't agree so readily.

After all, since her arrival she had always been at a disadvantage in negotiations, so when a chance finally arose to turn the tables, how could this clever female not seize it?

Sure enough, as You Ruo expected, Yun Li, upon hearing this, stopped refusing, bowed her head in thought for a moment, then lifted her eyes and said to You Ruo word for word:

"We require you to draft a contract, writing everything discussed today into three copies. If you later breach the contract, we will make it public.

You Tribe Chief, do you accept this condition?"

"Contract?"

You Ruo glanced at the Priest, whose brows furrowed slightly, then he shook his head at You Ruo.

Even the Priest didn't know what a contract was, so You Ruo had to turn her gaze to Yun Li and begin asking what she meant by a contract.

"I've heard that the Silver Eagle Tribe has a literate Beastman among you; perhaps you could summon him.

This contract I speak of requires written proof, a seal as evidence, and a third‑party witness; once we reach mutual understanding, the contract will serve as proof of our transaction.

If anyone later violates this transaction, it will be tantamount to tearing up the contract."

When Yun Li finished speaking, they all fell silent at once.
