Chapter 78: Selecting a New Clan Chief

Selecting a New Clan Chief

Rusui lowered her head timidly, not daring to look at Xichong's fragile gaze, "... Yes."

Her voice was weak as she defended herself: "I'm sorry, I... I really had no other choice at the time."

"If I didn't do that, you would have... died."

"Achong... I don't want to lose you."

Xichong gritted his teeth, preventing the tears that had already welled up in his eyes from falling; the anger he was about to feel was instantly suppressed by Rusui's words.

"Mate..."

His voice choked with emotion, and he pulled Rusui into his embrace, his proud brows drooping, filled with tenderness.

"No... it is not your fault."

"Thank you for still being willing to save me."

The Mate and that Mermaid were enemies, yet she had been able to persuade her to save him; the Mate must have suffered a great deal as well.

He stood powerlessly before Chaosheng and said with resignation: "Strip me of my ability."

"From now on, the Mate and I will be Wandering Orcs."

Who would have thought they were truly a pair of Sea Beastmen with such deep affection for each other.

Chaosheng sighed silently; since it was like this, then let it be done as agreed.

She extended her right hand, her fingers rotating slightly, and the seawater swirled continuously with the airflow; Xichong felt something detaching from his body.

The purple Witch Power inside Xichong shattered his ability, slowly drawing out these scattered remnants of power.

"Ah!"

Chaosheng withdrew her hand, and Xichong collapsed to the ground, exhausted; Rusui hurried forward to check on him with concern, "What's wrong?"

"Achong, are you alright?"

"Does it hurt a lot?"

As Xichong's ability vanished, Rusui's ability disappeared along with it.

But now, she no longer had the heart or energy to care about that.

"I'm fine."

"I just have no strength left."

Xichong shook his head at Rusui, his face haggard and pale, and he slowly stood up with Rusui's support.

So, this is what it feels like to be an ordinary Beastman?

He raised his eyes, his gaze falling upon Baini, who looked full of pride and satisfaction.

The Beastman he had competed with for nearly twenty years.

From now on, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to be his opponent.

But it didn't matter; he still had his Mate who was devoted to him.

Xichong looked at Rusui with deep affection; Rusui held Xichong's hand tightly, her tone low, "Let's go."

"Alright."

Before leaving, Rusui took one last deep look at Chaosheng.

She would keep that secret buried in her heart forever.

She thought that she was selfish too; she didn't want Achong to carry the burden of hatred from now on, seeking revenge against a female he could never successfully take revenge upon.

Let her be the only Beastman who had wronged Sister Xizhi.

And so, Rusui took Xichong and left.

"This... this..." The Whale Shark Elder looked conflicted, spreading his hands as he looked at Chaosheng in a dilemma, "You drove our Clan Chief away."

"What are we supposed to do with our Whale Shark Tribe now?"

The former Clan Chief's bloodline was either dead or gone.

Could it be that a new Clan Chief must be chosen?!

Thinking of this, the Whale Shark Elder couldn't help but feel excited; now, besides him, who else in the tribe was qualified to be the Clan Chief?!

Chaosheng exhaled slightly, her indifferent gaze glancing at the Beastman standing alone in the corner, "Isn't there still him?"

"Isn't he your Clan Chief's foster son?"

"And he is also Xizhi's Beast Husband; if the wife dies, the husband succeeds, that works too."

Upon hearing this, Xihang, who had been hanging his head in silence, suddenly looked up, peering through his messy hair at the female whose beauty was soul-stirring.

What did she say?

Was she talking about him?

Chaosheng slowly shifted her gaze away, her eyes filled with interest, "Let's decide it this way."

"Ah?!" The Whale Shark Elder was startled for a moment, then looked indignant, his face flushed red with anger, "This... how can this be allowed?"

"He is a Walrus Beastman, how can he come to be the Clan Chief of our Whale Shark Tribe?!"

"What kind of sight is this?!"

The Whale Shark Elder said, unable to accept it; once his anger flared up, he forgot the terror of the female before him and was full of disapproval for this proposal.

A glimmer of dark light flashed in Chaosheng's eyes, and she looked at the Whale Shark Elder with a half-smile, "Do you think that letting a Walrus Beastman be the Whale Shark Clan Chief means he is superior to the Whale Shark Beastmen?!"

The Whale Shark Elder did not reply, seemingly tacitly agreeing with this statement.

Chaosheng nodded slightly, her voice melodious and light, "Then let me ask you, does your Whale Shark Tribe have any Beastman with a higher ability than him?"

"It seems there isn't."

Chaosheng feigned a scan of the surrounding Beastmen; all of them lowered their heads, and not a single Beastman dared to step forward to say his ability was higher than Xihang's.

Chaosheng nodded with satisfaction, "Since that is the case, it shows that your Whale Shark Tribe is indeed not as good as the Walrus Beastman."

"Then what is the problem with letting the strongest Beastman be the Clan Chief?!"

"But..." The Whale Shark Elder still wanted to argue a bit more.

"Hmm?!" Chaosheng narrowed her eyes, looking at him threateningly, "Do you still have something you want to say?!"

"Sheng, this is so troublesome, I want to go home!" Baini said impatiently, his restless gaze falling upon the Whale Shark Elder, as if he were sizing him up to see if he would be tasty as prey.

"Right, don't delay for too long." Yinxu also chimed in, his peripheral vision sweeping coldly toward the Whale Shark Elder.

The Whale Shark Elder shuddered from these three intensely oppressive gazes, "I... I have nothing left to say."

"Good."

"Since you have no objections, then that is how it will be."

"We are heading back now."

Having resolved this mess with the Whale Shark Tribe, Chaosheng was also tired.

She said to Baini and Yinxu, "Let's go, we're going home."

On the way home, Yinxu and Baini stopped to hunt for food.

With a fish stuffed in his mouth, Baini asked with slight curiosity: "Sheng, why did you let that Beastman be the Whale Shark Clan Chief?"

"Do you know him?"

"I've seen him once before." Chaosheng explained indifferently, "I naturally have my own considerations for letting him be the Clan Chief."

"Since the Whale Shark Tribe likes to stir up trouble so much, then I'll create some internal conflicts for them."

"While they are busy with infighting, they naturally won't have the time to bother me."

"Oh!" Baini nodded, suddenly realizing, and said, "So that's how it is."

"Sheng is truly clever."

"Come, Sheng, you eat too." Baini leaned in affectionately, feeding the most succulent part of the fish to Chaosheng's lips.

"Okay." Chaosheng opened her mouth slightly, savoring the tender fish fillet, concealing the emotions in her eyes.

Her business with Xizhi had unintentionally implicated him.

Since she caused him to lose his Mate, then she would return the position of Clan Chief to him.

With it, the Whale Shark Tribe might have a bit more confidence in the future.

After taking a deep breath above the sea surface, Yinxu returned to the seabed.

Watching the intimate posture of the two, a trace of darkness flashed through his deep brown eyes, his pleasant voice slightly low, "I'm back."

Baini, who was currently asking Chaosheng for a hug, suddenly raised his head, sparks of fire spitting from his eyes as he looked at Yinxu.

So annoying, he's come to disturb him and Sheng again.

"Alright." Chaosheng gently pushed away Baini, who was clinging to her, and flicked her gorgeous, shimmering tail, "Let's go home."
