Chapter 87: Divorce
Divorce
"At other times, Mother doesn't want to bother you with these matters, fearing you will worry about them."
After listening, Baini irritably turned his head away, a surge of frustration stifled in his chest, "Then what does Mother intend to do now?"
"Is there no way to help Big Brother?"
"Sigh!" Qi Zhe let out a sigh, saying with full melancholy, "How could the matters between a Beast Husband and his Mate be so easily resolved?"
"Even if the Leader steps in to resolve it, that can only solve the problem for a moment; it cannot cure the root cause."
"We Male Beastmen must keep our eyes open when marrying a Female, carefully choose a reliable Mate, and try our best to avoid such things."
Bailang thought about how he had been an adult for some time and would soon need to prepare to choose a Female to marry, and his mood suddenly plummeted, "Big Brother didn't come back this time because he was kicked out."
"He... was beaten by that Female until he couldn't take it anymore and ran back."
"I saw it at the time, his whole body was covered in injuries."
"It really makes me furious!"
"How could she dare to treat Big Brother like that?"
"Bang!"
Baini could no longer hold back, fiercely lashing his tail, which happened to strike a coral reef; the coral reef, receiving such a massive impact, instantly shattered and collapsed.
The other three Orcas stared dumbfounded at the debris on the ground, a voice flashing through their hearts: It's over!
Sure enough, before long, a blockheaded young Orca swam over. Baian looked at them trembling with fear, "Mother said, since you aren't staying quietly outside, go over and help Big Brother come up with some ideas."
"Brother Baini, Mother also knows you've come."
So don't even think about running away.
Baini had no intention of running away at all; he looked at the seawater in mid-air with deep eyes, "Then it's just right to go and see."
Baini and his several brothers all transformed into human form, deliberately lightening their movements, and cautiously swam inside.
As soon as they entered, the Beastmen inside all lowered their heads, black eyeballs deeply sizing them up.
The stifling and suffocating atmosphere made Baini's mood grow even heavier.
He looked at his Mother sitting above, and his Big Brother lying half-reclined beside her.
His snow-white skin was covered in red and purple marks, with some places even slightly tinged with blue; his gaze was empty, and his face held dead, silent despair.
Sweeping his eyes around gently, Baiqi and the other two half-sisters were all there.
When Baipei saw Baini, her eyes softened for a moment, "Baini, you've come."
Baini lowered his head and answered obediently, "Yes."
Baipei watched him, feeling much comforted, but her tone remained fierce with murderous intent, "That Huyang is truly daring and reckless!"
"Bullying Lili again and again!"
"This time, we must make them learn a lesson!"
"Don't really think they can disregard our Jingju Tribe."
After Baipei finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room was so low-pressure that one could hear the breathing; everyone was afraid of saying the wrong thing at this time and being caught in the Leader's crossfire.
Baini glanced at Baili, who had hollow eyes and a face full of despair. A thought rushed into his mind, and he gathered his courage to speak, "Mother."
"I think since the Haihu Tribe dares to bully Big Brother, we naturally must take revenge."
"But for the sake of Big Brother's future, I think why don't we just let Big Brother separate from that otter Female."
Baipei narrowed her eyes, a trace of confusion flashing across her stern face, "What do you mean?"
"Are you saying Huyang should divorce Lili?"
"No, that's not what I mean." Baini shook his head, "I mean to let them separate."
How should he express it?
He remembered that once when Sheng was chatting with him, she mentioned that if a Male and a Female could not go on together, he should divorce her.
Yes, divorce!
"Divorce, it means letting the two of them separate, so neither owes the other anything."
"Divorce?" Hearing this novel term, Baipei pondered for a moment, also grasping the meaning of the word, and then looked at Baili, "Lili, do you want to separate from her?"
"Sep... separate?" Baili slightly opened and closed his dry, pale lips, and his lifeless eyes gained a glimmer of light, "Can I separate from her?"
"But..."
He thought of those Male Beastmen who had been divorced by Females; almost all of them lived miserably for a period of time before dying in a wretched state.
Moreover, after being divorced by a Female, one could not marry another Female.
No Female would accept a Male who had already been bonded with another Female.
Thinking of this, Baili timidly lowered his eyes and kept his mouth shut in silence.
Baipei looked at his appearance and sighed slightly; she didn't blame Lili, it was she who hadn't seen that Female Beastman clearly.
If she had known Huyang was this kind of person, she would never have married Lili to her, but now it was too late to say anything.
Baipei scanned the other Beastmen and nodded slightly, "What do you think?"
"Mother, I think it's inappropriate."
The one who spoke was Baini's third sister, Bai Lin. She said with full disapproval, "Where in this world is there any logic for a Male and a Female to divorce?"
"There is only the Female divorcing the Male."
"Besides..." Bai Lin rolled her eyes, a trace of calculation flashing through, "If Big Brother leaves Huyang, what will he do afterwards? Surely no Female will be willing to have him, so wouldn't he have to stay in our Tribe for the rest of his life?"
Upon hearing this, a trace of obvious displeasure flashed across Baipei's face, "Even if Lili stays in the Tribe for the rest of his life, I can afford to support him."
"Of course..." Baipei looked at the silent Baili with heartache, "If Lili is unwilling, I will not force him."
"Big Brother, say something!" Baini looked anxiously at the scarred Baili, "Do you want to suffer humiliation and live there for the rest of your life?"
Baili blinked, his sore eyes brimming with more moisture, "Baini, you are not me, you simply cannot understand me..."
"My... my Mate is different from your Mate."
Baili looked at the vigorous Baini, lowered his head with an ugly expression, his eyes dimming; his Mate must have taken very good care of him.
Although Mother was busy, she was quite good to her Beast Husbands and children.
Baiqi had also loved Lianxun desperately before, willingly becoming an ordinary and mediocre female for his sake.
And the female that Baini found was even more outstanding...
Only he had been blinded by a female's temporary sweet words and married such a rotten female.
"Big Brother, we will all help you..." Baini looked at him worriedly; he felt choked by these words, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Reason told him that Big Brother should separate from that vicious female, and that living as a Beastman alone or finding another female to take care of him would be better than living with such a female.
But Big Brother did not seem willing...
What should he do?
Suddenly, he paused abruptly; how about going back and asking Sheng?
Sheng was so smart, she must have a way... right?
Baini always had an inexplicable confidence in his Mate, feeling that she could handle anything.
