Chapter 101: The Truth Comes to Light

The Truth Comes to Light

"You really did harm Chaosheng!"

Qiqi shrank into Lumi's embrace, shaking her head incessantly, her eyes full of panic, "I didn't, you... please don't listen to her nonsense."

"I really didn't do such a thing..."

Qiqi tried hard to appear completely innocent; she understood the Leader's character, for although she was usually very tolerant of them as females and never punished them for minor mistakes.

But if she were to find out she had been so reckless, she feared that even she would not protect her.

Thinking of this, she knelt down on the ground without hesitation, looking pitifully at Heixi, "Leader, you have to believe me!"

"How could I believe such a thing."

Heixi sighed slightly, looking helplessly at Chaosheng, "Chaosheng, I think there must be some misunderstanding here."

"Qiqi is not that kind of child..."

"What misunderstanding could there be?" Baini knitted his sword-like brows, his handsome face cold and grim, looking at Qiqi as if looking at a dead beast, "Wasn't what Sheng said clear enough?"

"This female has tried to harm Sheng time and time again; do you still intend to shield her?"

"I didn't, I didn't!"

Qiqi shook her head in a panic, her heart thumping; she couldn't admit it, she couldn't admit it—if she admitted it, she would truly be finished!

Heixi glanced at Baini, then at Qiqi, standing aside in a dilemma, looking at Chaosheng with a pleading expression.

Chaosheng smiled lightly at Heixi, then in an instant, when her gaze fell upon Qiqi, it turned cold and sharp, "Fine, you won't admit it, will you."

"Then let me ask you all." Chaosheng looked at the surrounding Black Butterfly Shell Beastmen and said slowly, "Has Xizhi ever been to the Black Butterfly Tribe?"

"And after Xizhi came, did she suddenly marry these two Male Beastmen?"

Chaosheng suddenly raised her hand to point at the two Male Beastmen watching the show on the side, although no beastman had introduced their identities to her.

But combining their intimate behavior with Qiqi and those words, it was easy to deduce their identities.

The two beastmen used by Xizhi to exchange for the secret of the Yu Sheng Flower.

Chaosheng closed her eyes slightly, a glimmer of sharp light flashing in her eyes, "Don't you find it strange?"

"Xizhi has no relation to her, so why would she gift her two excellent males?"

"Isn't it because the two of them are engaged in some shady transaction?"

"You're spouting nonsense!" Qiqi raised her head, looking at her with a ferocious expression, her large, dull eyes staring fixedly at Chaosheng, "You made all of this up!"

"I am simply on good terms with Clan Leader Xizhi; she likes me, and seeing that I only had Wushi as a Beast Husband, she pitied me, so what is the problem with her marrying Lumi and Qicong to me?"

Heixi already had a vague suspicion in her heart, but seeing Qiqi crying so pitifully, she really couldn't bring herself to punish her, "Chaosheng, look."

"This... is all your speculation; it wouldn't be appropriate to convict Qiqi based on this alone..."

"Hah!" Baini let out a cold scoff, his gaze icy as he looked at Heixi, "Every word Sheng said is reasonable; do you still dare not acknowledge it?"

"And Xizhi is on good terms with you?"

"Who in the entire Polar Sea doesn't know that Xizhi considers herself the most outstanding female in the Polar Sea, with eyes higher than the top; how could she be on good terms with an ordinary female like you?"

"If you're going to make up lies, you should at least make them realistic."

"You..." Qiqi glared at Baini, but remembering his status and strength, she lowered her head again and said stubbornly, "Clan Leader Xizhi is indeed on good terms with me."

"Lumi and Qicong were also married to me because she saw that we were fated."

Chaosheng parted the seawater slightly and swam gloomily toward Qiqi, looking at this familiar yet strange female with a scrutinizing gaze, "Fine, you won't admit it, will you?"

"Then let them tell it."

She then glanced at Tuyi, signaling for them to speak.

"Come on, you speak!"

Baini lifted Tuyi up, the force in his hand carrying a hint of threat.

If he didn't speak properly and caused Sheng to lose face, he would not let them off.

Tuyi winced in pain from being dragged; after the force subsided, he glared fiercely at Baini before saying in a low voice, "We are Wandering Orcs who accidentally entered the Polar Sea."

"There is too little food here, and it's hard to catch; we couldn't find anything to eat at all."

Tuyi lowered his brows dejectedly and said listlessly:

"That day, Tusan was clamoring for food, but Tu'er and I couldn't find anything for Tusan to eat."

"Then we just happened to run into her..." Tuyi pointed at Qiqi, who was kneeling on the seabed, "She said that in the furthest corner of the Polar Sea, there were many treasures hidden; those treasures were very valuable, and if we took just a little, we could exchange them for a lot of good food."

"Then she also told us that if we couldn't find anyone to trade with, she would be happy to trade with us."

"And so, we followed the path she pointed out and went to Chaosheng's home."

By the end, Tuyi lacked confidence; he truly realized his mistake.

He shouldn't have gone to steal blindly without finding out the details.

Even if he were to steal, he should have found out clearly and looked for a beastman who was weak and lacked support.

Who knew what kind of beastmen these were!?

After being stung by the three of them using their life-saving methods, there was only a small red mark on the back of the hand, and there were no other reactions at all.

Chaosheng curled her lips into a smile, her gaze deep as she looked at Heixi, "Leader Heixi, the matter should be very clear now, right?"

"This female in your tribe instigated these three little brats to come and steal things, and what they stole happened to be Baini's dowry!"

"Could it be that you are determined to go against the Jingju Tribe?"

"N-no." Heixi was stunned, a drop of cold sweat falling from her wrinkled forehead and merging into the seawater.

A married Male Beastman's dowry was a very important matter to him, almost directly determining his status in the home.

She looked at Qiqi in shock; how could she dare to let beastmen steal Baini's dowry?

Never mind the Jingju Tribe, even if they just drove Baini, this little tyrant, crazy, their Black Butterfly Tribe would be finished.

"It's good that you didn't."

Chaosheng absentmindedly stroked the purple hair at her chest, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over the kneeling Black Butterfly Shell female, "So, is the truth clear enough now?"

"You can't possibly say that I colluded with these three little Beastmen to slander her, can you?"

"No, that is not what I meant."

Heixi took a deep breath, and in the blink of an eye, she made her decision, "Qiqi!"

"How could you dare to do such a thing?"

Heixi walked toward Qiqi; seeing this, Chaosheng turned to the side, making room for Heixi, and stood to one side, quietly watching their performance.

Heixi lowered her head to stare at Qiqi, the kindness on her face vanishing, replaced by bitter heartbreak, "You... how could you dare to do something like this?"

Not only biting the hand that fed her, but also insisting on provoking the most powerful female in the Polar Sea.

Now, even she could not protect her.

"I..." Qiqi lowered her head; she was now also full of regret.
