Chapter 86: Finding Bai Hanye

Finding Bai Hanye

"Sheng!"

With long, sturdy legs striding out, Yinxu walked into the cave step by step, tossing the prey he had caught aside, his cold, stern face showing obvious excitement.

He hurriedly lifted the light veil, ignoring Changye who was guarding the side, and said to Chaosheng, "Sheng, I have found Bai Hanye!"

"What?" Chaosheng was surprised for a moment, then stood up excitedly, her eyes blinking with joy, "You really found him?"

"Where?"

"Take me to see."

Chaosheng's surprise and excitement were tinged with a trace of worry, fearing that Yinxu might have recognized the wrong person and that it would all be for nothing.

She had to go and see for herself.

"Alright, but are you feeling better now?" Yinxu's worried gaze swept to Chaosheng's abdomen; he remembered that Sheng had just been injured, and he hesitated, "How about you rest for two more days?"

"That shouldn't be urgent."

"No! Right now, take me!" Chaosheng's voice was uncharacteristically firm; she wouldn't feel at ease until she had confirmed it herself.

Yinxu fell silent, his dark brown eyes flickering, and it was a long while before he compromised, "Alright then."

Never mind, he would just go with Sheng.

As long as he kept a close eye on things, nothing should happen.

"Hey, hey, what Baiye, where are you going?"

Changye looked at them, completely baffled; he had been left out on the side and couldn't get a word in at all.

Only now did he manage to find a chance to ask.

Chaosheng glanced lightly at Changye, a look of hesitation in her deep purple eyes, "Changye, we won't be taking you this time."

"You wait for us at home."

Then she looked at Yinxu, "Let's go."

"Alright." Yinxu nodded slightly, his gaze flicking toward the dejected Changye, a triumphant smile curling the corner of his mouth, "Let's go."

After Chaosheng and Yinxu swam out of the cave entrance, Changye kicked his legs hard, then slumped against the Shell Bed, muttering, "What is this?"

"They won't even tell me!"

The feeling of being pushed out was very unpleasant, as if he were completely out of place in this home.

Changye looked gloomily at the cold cave, suddenly feeling that it was truly bone-chilling, and couldn't help but shiver.

He pressed against the Shell Bed, seemingly wanting to get closer to the Female Beastman in this way, and clenched his fists to cheer himself on.

It's fine, take it slow.

He had only just met the Female Beastman; it was normal for her to be reserved with him.

As time went on, the Female Beastman would slowly accept him.

After Baini had his fill, he lazily swam to the surface, performed a few nimble leaps, and then shook his body with satisfaction, stretching his long-dormant muscles and joints, splashing a large spray of water.

The small creatures nearby all scrambled away, fearing they might provoke this big guy.

He dove back into the sea and swam aimlessly, and before he knew it, he had swum to the Jingju Tribe again.

He flicked his tail and greeted them happily, "Bailang, Baiyu, Qi Zhe, where is Mother?"

The Orcas, who had been huddled together discussing something cautiously, stiffened at the sound, and only relaxed slightly when they realized it was Baini.

"Sigh! Little Ni, why are you back?"

"You scared us to death, really!"

"That's right, that's right..."

His black, round eyes turned, and he looked at the three of them and their sneaky behavior with suspicion, "What are you doing?"

"Where is Mother? Is she here?"

"Shh!" Bailang made a worried shushing sound, looking around in panic, and whispered, "Keep your voice down!"

Baini was even more confused, "What on earth are you doing?"

"Or is it..." Baini guessed, "Did something happen?"

After Bailang confirmed there was no other movement, he cautiously said to Baini, "Tsk, let me tell you."

"Big Brother is back, and that Mate of his hit Big Brother again."

"Mother is very angry right now."

"Don't go and provoke her, understand?"

Bailang winked at Baini, fearing that Mother would become even angrier in a moment.

"What?" Baini looked at them in astonishment. What did he mean by "again"? Did that mean Big Brother had been hit more than once? He hadn't known!

"What do you mean?"

"Isn't that sea otter Female Beastman quite good to Big Brother!"

"Sigh, forget it!" Baiyu let out a sigh, his voice heavy, "You don't know about these things yet."

Baili had married earlier than Baini.

That sea otter Female Beastman was the daughter of the Haihu Tribe Leader; although the Haihu Tribe wasn't very powerful, that Female Beastman looked honest and simple, and she treated Baili well.

Only then did Mother agree to let Baili marry her.

Who knew that even Mother could misjudge someone.

After that sea otter Female Beastman married Big Brother, she was indeed good to him at first, showing concern for him all day long.

Who knew that as time went on, she would start to reveal her true nature.

Perhaps that sea otter Female Beastman had grown tired of Big Brother, or perhaps she no longer had the patience to keep up the act, and she began to take in Beast Husbands one after another.

That would be one thing, as it is common for females to be fickle.

But the Beast Husbands that the sea otter female took were all good-for-nothings, coaxing the sea otter female every day to fleece things from her for their own Tribe.

Eldest Brother couldn't stand it and went to dissuade her, which earned him the resentment of those few Beast Husbands, who whispered in the sea otter female's ear all day long, making her increasingly unable to stand Eldest Brother.

"How preposterous!"

After hearing this, Baini angrily flicked his tail fin, sloshing a layer of seawater.

"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down!"

Bailang looked at him with a warning, hoping he wouldn't make a scene and disturb their mother, who was currently angry.

"Let's go over there to talk."

Bailang led Baini behind a coral reef, and after confirming that their mother shouldn't be able to hear their conversation, he sighed heavily and added with sympathy, "Actually, Eldest Brother was driven out twice. Mother went to their Haihu Tribe to demand an explanation at the time, and only after receiving that sea otter female's guarantee did she feel at ease letting Eldest Brother continue to stay there."

"But... but..." Bailang was so angry he couldn't speak, his head aching, "But who would have known! That sea otter female's credibility is just like the ocean waves; you hear a splash and then it's gone."

"After Mother left, she just went right back to how she was."

"Those few Beast Husbands of the sea otter female are also no good; they slander Eldest Brother every day, spreading rumors that he... he is involved with females from other tribes."

"It has made the sea otter female now firmly believe that Eldest Brother has wronged her, and she torments Eldest Brother every day."

"Then..." Baini felt very uneasy listening to this, a large stone pressing down on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe. He didn't even know Eldest Brother had gone through such things, and he complained, "Why didn't any of you tell me?!"

Baiyu was not annoyed, looked at Baini, and explained to him, "After you got married, you only returned to the Tribe those few times, and most of the time you ran into Eldest Sister's affairs."
