Chapter 30: Second Beast Husband

He had waited a long time, but still didn't get Yun Li's answer.

"A Li?"

She looked at Yun Li doubtfully, only to see him propping his chin with his hand, looking at her with a hint of curiosity.

"You said I have three beast husbands busy with the tribe, so why do I still need to go out with the gathering team? Or are all the females in the tribe now supposed to go out to help gather food?"

"Of course not."

He looked a bit embarrassed, "I just thought you wanted to cultivate so you could go out and play, and since you're idle at home anyway, maybe you'd be willing to go with the gathering team."

"If you're not willing, then forget it."

He just wanted Yun Li to take the lead; if a female with three Qing Rank beast husbands went out with the gathering team, then persuading other females would be easier.

But Yun Li clearly didn't want to go out and adventure at this time, and He immediately felt torn inside.

If she doesn't go, then wouldn't I have to go with the gathering team myself?

After all, if even the Tribal Chief's Wife refuses to go out at this time, then other females, fearing danger, would certainly not want to venture out either.

Then her first beast husband Mang would surely object; he definitely wouldn't want the tribe's males to fall short of their food target because the females weren't cooperating to help gather food.

So before leaving, He still made a final effort: "A Li, I suddenly remembered something—didn't Mu Qing ask us to check how your life in the gathering team was going?"

I went and asked before, and found out you hadn't been doing well there; it turned out not only Lv not only Lvcao but also Chuncao had bullied but also Chuncao had bullied you.

Although Mang and I, bound by tribal rules, cannot heavily punish females who haven't committed major offenses, we can still assign them to the gathering team that travels farthest yet yields the least.

Before, it was because Mang and I were too busy to look after you; from now on we guarantee we won't let this happen again.

He finished speaking on his own, hoping to see a hint of emotion on Yun Li's face.

But to her disappointment, after listening Yun Li did show a genuine smile on her face, yet she didn't give the response He wanted.

"Thank you."

Yun Li knew all too well what fate awaited those few females; without Mu Qing and Leng Xiao willing to take their beast husbands hunting, their households were already struggling, and to help ease the family burden they almost had to go out every two or three days.

This was far from before, when they had their own males supporting them and only needed to go out two or three times a month.

And now He was assigning them to another gathering team, making their lives even harder.

Thinking of this, Yun Li really couldn't help but want to laugh.

But since Mu Qing and the others weren't willing about the gathering team, she decided to stay at home for a while.

When she eventually formally mates with Leng Xiao and the two of them, she'll then mates with Leng Xiao and the two of them, she'll then she'll then decide whether to make a few rounds with the gathering team.

He left, feeling unwilling.

After that day, He never appeared before Yun Li again, and Mu Qing and the three of them also often went on to see how things go and decide whether to make a few rounds with the gathering team.

【27】 After that day, He never appeared before Yun Li again, and Mu Qing and the three of them also often went out early and returned late; but no matter how busy, someone would always rush back at noon to make her lunch.

As the tribe's atmosphere grew increasingly tense, Yun Li grabbed Leng Xiu, who was about to make her lunch, and asked:

"Do you want to become mates with me at noon today?"

They've been living here for almost half a month, yet their relationship with her is still nominal only.

Leng Xiao was so anxious he almost wished a flood would come right away, so they could all hide in the cave where Mu Qing used to rest outside the tribe, thus avoiding having to stare at their females all night and get worked up.

Leng Xiu was surprised that Yun Li would choose to mate with him first, thinking to himself, "I thought you would pick Leng Xiao as your second beast husband."

Yun Li fell silent for a moment, then looked at him somewhat speechlessly and said, "These past few days it's been you who's been making my lunch."

It was obvious his younger brother simply couldn't compete with his older brother.

Leng Xiu hadn't expected this matter to lead him to become Yun Li's beast husband first, and he couldn't help but feel a twinge of pity for his foolish younger brother.

You should know that Leng Xiao hasn't come back at noon these past few days, merely because he's been busy trying to surprise Yun Li.

Although Yun Li had clearly misunderstood something, Leng Xiu wouldn't be so foolish as to explain it clearly now and then hand over the present opportunity.

He put his arm around Yun Li's waist and whispered, "Shall we go inside now?"

Yun Li nodded, but before proceeding she still asked, "Is there enough time?"

"Not enough, but I can return later."

Leng Xiu said as he lifted Yun Li and walked toward the house.

"Mm..."

The female let out an uncomfortable muffled hum; Leng Xiu lowered his head to kiss her brows and eyes, and only after she fully grew accustomed to his presence did he slowly begin.

The atmosphere inside the house grew hotter and hotter...

That night, after Leng Xiao returned and discovered that Yun Li had already mated with his older brother, he insisted on mating with Yun Li immediately, no matter what.

"Tomorrow won't work."

Leng Xiu unhesitatingly pushed him away from Yun Li's side and spoke the words of refusal on her behalf.

"'Why? You're not A Li; A Li, you've already taken my older brother, so why would you immediately take me too? I can also make A Li happy.'"

Leng Xiao, a wolf beastman, at this point clung to Yun Li like a clingy dog, actually embracing her and acting coquettish.

Yun Li laughed helplessly and patted his head, "Your older brother is right—tomorrow really won't work."

Leng Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "Have you been soul-hooked by my brother? But I'm not any worse than him."

Upon hearing this, Yun Li's face flushed to the point she almost slapped him, saying, "Then you should wait even more—don't you know my body can't handle it?"

In that regard Leng Xiu is no worse than Mu Qing; indeed, because he understands more, her body has suffered quite a bit.

Add another Leng Xiao—does he want to make it impossible for her to get out of bed?

Leng Xiao froze, first glaring fiercely at his brother, then meekly rubbing against Yun Li: "I'll just wait two more days, but after two days you'll have to need me, or else I'll sooner or later be bullied to death by those two."

Even Mu Qing was angered into laughter by Leng Xiao's shameless words, saying, "We're bullying you—want us to try bullying you a bit right now to see?"

Mu Qing and Leng Xiao—one is genuinely proper, not saying one thing to your face and another behind your back; the other is falsely proper, loves to put on airs, and enjoys scheming behind the scenes.

Therefore, neither of them can match Leng Xiao's straightforwardness and his tendency to cling to Yun Li.

Don't think Yun Li listens more to Mu Qing and Leng Xiu on major matters; at home, many small things are Yun Li listening to Leng Xiao's gossip.

So if those two really tried to bully him, Yun Li would be the first to refuse.

Leng Xiu also crushed the wood in his hand, his tone gentle, "He really deserves a beating."

Yun Li hurried to stop him, "If you have something to say, say it nicely; and you, when there's nothing going on, don't spout nasty remarks that provoke people—are you really not afraid of getting beaten?"

Leng Xiao snorted, "Let them beat me; if I get hurt, I'll have an excuse to stay home. Besides, I don't feel like going hunting."

There are three males in the household; now only he has no status, and he's about to die of anger.
