I assume the beastmen of the tribe have already told the Clan Leader about me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Shi nodded, his expression full of scrutiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi stood there openly, not shying away from his gaze in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yan Shi clearly didn’t approve of Qiao Xixi’s status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’When the Shaman gets back, I’ll have to ask him about this properly.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since the Clan Leader already knows who I am, shouldn’t you release my cubs?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Shi didn’t answer her. Instead, he asked, \"You killed one of my tribesmen. How do you explain that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi recognized the male gray wolf beastman holding her cubs as one of the males who had previously accused them of stealing the Deer Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They attacked first. The Clan Leader should know this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re the ones who clearly stole our Deer Beast first! How could the Shaman let a female Wandering Beast like you become the Priest?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yi’s words were heated. Yan Liu had been his brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The tribe’s beastmen and the Beast God have already acknowledged my position. If you’re dissatisfied, you can take it up with the Beast God.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mention of the Beast God, Yan Yi’s expression froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t dare show the slightest disrespect to the Beast God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clan Leader, Xixi is amazing. We all acknowledge her status, so please don’t make things difficult for her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Qiao Xixi in a difficult position, Mi Lan quickly stepped forward to speak for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mi Qi also stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right, Clan Leader. You can’t bully the Priest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xing and Baobao, who had been hiding behind their mothers, slowly shuffled out as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clan Leader, p-please let Qiao Lie and the others go. He’s the strongest cub in the tribe now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Shi hadn’t expected these Wandering Beasts to be so capable. They had only just arrived, yet they could already get the tribe’s own beastmen to speak up for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not wanting to upset his tribesmen, he told Yan Yi to release Qiao Lie and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yi was displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clan Leader, but they...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough. Even if that’s the case, they are just two cubs. If you want to deal with someone, it should be the male who killed Yan Liu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yi gritted his teeth but had no choice but to obey and release Qiao Ang and Qiao Lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi went forward and took her two cubs by the hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you okay? Are you hurt?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two cubs shook their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the Shaman and Jin Ling arrived at the sacrificial altar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clan Leader, you’re all back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Shi nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for looking after the tribe while I was away, Shaman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exchanging a few pleasantries with Yan Shi, the Shaman turned his gaze to Qiao Xixi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clan Leader, this is our Priest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Shi said expressionlessly, \"I’ve already met her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing Yan Shi’s cold attitude, the Shaman changed the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clan Leader, let’s hold the ceremony first. Everyone is waiting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Shi nodded. \"For today’s Sacrificial Dance, you should be the one to perform it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This statement represented his current disapproval of Qiao Xixi’s status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shaman was in a difficult position. Before he could speak, he heard Qiao Xixi say, \"I don’t know how to do it yet. I’ll let the Shaman perform it on my behalf.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did the Shaman nod and walk onto the sacrificial altar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Xi had some beastmen bring over colorful leaves of all kinds to cover the hunted prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shaman stood amidst the prey, waving his arms and legs as he performed the Sacrificial Dance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the Shaman wasn’t a very good dancer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi watched, finding it all a bit abrupt and stiff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Sacrificial Dance was over, they began to distribute the prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Xi brought a large piece of tender meat to Qiao Xixi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Priest, this meat is too heavy. Let me help you carry it back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Qiao Xixi was about to thank him, Jin Ling took the meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need. We can carry it ourselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Xi frowned. \"You still have to carry the trees.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Ling had, after all, brought back quite a few Grass Fruit trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a change in expression, Jin Ling hoisted the meat onto his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can come back for the trees later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he looked at Qiao Xixi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xixi, let’s go back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi nodded, turned, and left, leading the cubs by the hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Yan Shi had arrived at the Shaman’s home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The astonishment in his eyes was plain to see as he stared at the Salt Crystal in the Shaman’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This really is a Salt Crystal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shaman smiled and nodded. \"Yes, it is. The Priest is the one who discovered it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Shi was skeptical. \"She’s just a female Wandering Beast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As far as he knew, it was extremely rare for a female to serve as a Priest, even in the large tribes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She most likely found out about it from somewhere by accident. It doesn’t mean anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Shaman didn’t think so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Priest ceremony has already been completed, and Qiao Xixi has been acknowledged by the Beast God. Clan Leader, you shouldn’t be so prejudiced against our Priest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But that male who follows her killed Yan Liu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m also heartbroken about Yan Liu’s death, but I just asked Jin Ling. It was Yan Liu and his group who attacked first. They were in the wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Shi didn’t accept this explanation. He had only agreed to release Qiao Lie and the others earlier because he didn’t want to provoke the dissatisfaction of his tribesmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shaman knew that ever since Yan Shi’s mate was abducted and brutally killed by a male Wandering Beast years ago, the Clan Leader had hated all Wandering Beasts with a passion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that he hadn’t attacked Qiao Xixi and her group today was already a sign of his restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clan Leader, the Priest can help our people prosper. You should let go of your prejudice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll have someone watch them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shaman knew that Yan Shi wouldn’t truly accept them from the bottom of his heart until he could completely trust Qiao Xixi and her group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t try to stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as the Clan Leader doesn’t harm or disturb them, it’s fine. I’ve already spoken to Hong Xi. I hope he will become Qiao Xixi’s beastman mate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Shi’s expression changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shaman rubbed his nose, looking a little embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hong Xi has already agreed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Shi slammed his fist on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wooden table shattered on impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph. You’d better have an explanation for Mi Li.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mi Li was Yan Shi’s daughter, and the Shaman had always wanted Mi Li and Hong Xi to become mates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the Shaman was actually going back on his word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Shi was furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Shaman didn’t regret his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a father who wanted the best for his child, he hoped his son could be with a better female.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Shi returned to his stone house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Mi Li saw Yan Shi, she threw herself on him and burst into tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, you’re finally back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mi Li was Yan Shi’s only cub. He had always doted on her and had never seen her cry so heartbrokenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mi Li, what’s wrong? Were you bullied? Tell Father, quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1368,"2026-06-10T05:17:12.767Z",1,"novelbin.me","0174a247bfd985dc03b53d99234cb1450b43a60480d197b1cd701edc55b1cd32","i-transmigrated-as-a-villainess-to-raise-babies--chapter-41","i-transmigrated-as-a-villainess-to-raise-babies--chapter-39",293,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-transmigrated-as-a-villainess-to-raise-babies--cover.jpg"]
