Chapter 91: Moving to the Young Master's Side

~7 min read 1,286 words

On the other side, several females were still waiting for the last beastman.

The leading female, Ya, turned her head and said a few words to the other females, then went to look for the absent Rui.

"Rui, are you leaving? If you don't go, we'll leave first."

Rui's family also lived in a wooden shed, but theirs was relatively tidy; though shabby, at least it wasn't drafty on all sides.

It seemed she also knew she was indeed late; inside the shed, Rui was soothing her male, quickly packed up, and hurried out.

"Going, sorry, my Beast Husband is too clingy."

Ya, seeing the lingering red flush on Rui's face, knew what had just happened; the frustration of waiting so long eased a bit, but thinking that she knew they were all waiting for her yet still lingered here with her male, she felt…

Ya couldn't help but jab her, "Looks like your Beast Husband couldn't satisfy you last night; if that's the case, you should quickly find a few more Beast Husbands. Though you're a bit old now…"

Rui heard this, her complexion slightly changed, the fear in her heart made her instinctively want to look behind herself, but she held back at the last moment.

Thinking of the Snake Beastman who had merged into her household at an unknown time, she said in a very harsh tone:

"Ya, if you keep speaking like that I'll turn hostile; my Beast Husband is already plenty, and I won't look for other males in the future."

Hearing that, the male behind Rui who had also come out of the shed showed no surprise, only a flash of complexity flickered in his eyes.

Ya's face showed a hint of surprise, as if she hadn't expected that Rui, who had said before coming to Red Grass Valley that she wanted a strong eagle beastman, would now say such words.

But since they were all females and knew each other, the words spoken then might…

"Is that so?"

Ya smiled, looking as if she didn't believe a word of it; seeing this made Rui's heart skip a beat.

She immediately lowered her face and said, "Ya, I'm serious. I know you won't believe me now, but later you'll know I'm sincere."

Ya was startled, then gave Rui a serious glance and said, "Alright, alright, I believe you. I just don't know what sudden stimulus you received that made you say such a thing."

Rui thought of the Snake Beastman in the shed whose whereabouts were unknown, her tone a bit irritable, "Enough; we'll discuss this later; they are still waiting for us."

Ya let out a light hum and went ahead.

If it weren't for Rui's dawdling, could they have set off this late?

However, Ya never imagined that Rui's outing today wasn't at all to stroll the valley with them.

……

Yun Li spent the morning wandering with great satisfaction; however, the area of Red Grass Valley wasn't suitable for a nap.

Just as she fixed her eyes on Mu Qing's beast form, Ge, who had returned from hunting out of the valley, came over.

"This place isn't suitable for females and cubs; I've already told the Young Master; we can arrange for you to stay at the Young Master's side."

Ge had no awareness that what he said was problematic.

But Leng Xiao's questioning gaze made him quickly come to his senses: "Is it convenient for us to stay at your Young Master's side?"

Ge explained to them, "There's nothing inconvenient; the beastmen of our Patrol Team all live around the tribal chief and the Young Master. It's just that other places are already occupied; the few stone houses beside the Young Master are still vacant."

"I've asked the Young Master; he doesn't mind you moving over."

Leng Xiu, hearing this, couldn't help but glance at his female companion; anyone who heard the Silver Eagle Tribe chief this morning tell their male cubs to flirt with the females, and then in the afternoon someone asks them to move next to that male cub, would have this reaction, I suppose.

However, this place truly isn't good; they had planned to look for another place in the afternoon.

"Alright, you! This time you've done us a great favor."

"There's a lot of mosquitoes here; A Li and the cubs didn't sleep well last night."

Speaking, Leng Xiao patted Ge and embraced him.

Ge wasn't used to a male being so close to him, but this male was A Li's Beast Husband.

So he said nothing, only, "Will you move now or …"

"Move right now!"

Leng Xiu slapped the table and said, "Mu Qing, you and Leng Xiao take A Li and the cubs to go with Ge first. I'll stay behind to find someone to help move all these things over."

Having just finished lunch while weaving bamboo baskets, Mu Qing put down his work, nodded, and said, "Alright."

"A Li"

Seeing Mu Qing call her, Yun Li lazily replied, "Heard."

The afternoon heat was unbearable; she was so hot she didn't want to say a word.

Walking to Ge's back, Yun Li finally said a word of thanks to Ge, but perhaps her attitude was too cold; when Ge saw her approach, his previously relaxed expression vanished, and he tightened his face, saying:

"There's no need; the Young Master brought this up first."

Yun Li looked at him in surprise; Leng Xiao also gave Ge a particularly speechless look; then he said, "Right; my brother and I had business with the Young Master this morning, and we mentioned this in passing."

This time Ge looked at Leng Xiao in surprise, "What business did you have to see the Young Master? Nothing important; the Young Master is usually very busy."

He actually wanted to ask why they didn't go to him first but went to the Young Master; they can't just because the Young Master visited their home a few times that A Li would favor the Young Master.

Obviously, he had forgotten that Yun Li's family had said they'd help the females of the Flat Mountain Tribe.

"Naturally there was something important to discuss with the Young Master."

Leng Xiao felt he was a bit indifferent to A Li's matters; even if he's of age to seek a Mate Bond, he shouldn't brush off the females like that.

Ge frowned; Yun Li, noticing this, keenly sensed his displeasure and directly raised the topic, both asking a question and informing Ge that Leng Xiu and they had gone to the Young Master that morning about something important.

"Do you know when the Silver Eagle Tribe's trade with the Youbuluo will take place?"

Hearing her speak, Ge's attention was instantly diverted, but this question he found hard to answer.

He recalled that Yun Li had previously said they'd help stop this trade; if the Young Master hadn't let him leak the information to Yun Li's group, he feared he would have kept them completely in the dark.

"I don't know either; the exact time of the trade probably hasn't been set yet."

Leng Xiao's gaze turned slightly cold; Ge was lying.

Ji Xuan had clearly said the trade might happen within these days.

He is a follower of Ji Xuan; how could he not know the exact trade time?

Ge still didn't realize his lie was uncovered the moment he spoke.

Yun Li, for the second time, felt that Ge valued the Tribe more than her; it's not that such a male is bad; it's just that, in her selfish heart, she thought Ge didn't like her that much; that made her also less inclined to accept Ge's thoughts.
