Chapter 650: Beast World: Raising a Wife 25

Not only his gaze, but also the temperament he deliberately disguised.

But Bai Mo's outstanding demeanor comes from his excellent looks and innate gentleness, for his whole body is snow‑white yet he wears pure black beast‑skin.

But Hua Wan now deliberately imitates, not to mention being mismatched; the plain‑colored beast‑skin hides even the advantage of his beast‑ear and tail markings.

To others it might seem like a change, but to Jin Chen it's practically an eyesore.

"Mo Mo, he's really ugly today."

Jin Chen furtively bent over and nibbled Bai Mo's ear.

But after he glanced several times at Hua Wan, it seemed to be regarded as a stunning or other favorable look, making Hua Wan straighten his waist, smile, and greet Jin Chen.

Only then did he look at Bai Mo, slightly lifting his chin, lowering his eyes as if feeling superior.

"Bai Mo, most of the tribespeople are here today; I have something to ask you."

"Please speak quickly, thank you."

Bai Mo returned a polite smile.

Hua Wan didn't mind his current attitude, staring at his ice‑blue, clear eyes and speaking loudly.

"As I said yesterday, I can now receive the Beast God's will; in my dream I learned that you are the culprit of this disaster."

Bai Mo: "……"

He merely wasted time coming over.

Hua Wan smiled brightly amid their contemptuous gazes, slightly raised his arm, and pointed to the several Sub‑Beasts behind.

"After I found out, I looked again at the deceased females and discovered they share several common traits."

"First, their bodies all bear the same marking, which resembles the silver mark on your brow."

"Second, they were on good terms with you before, and almost all of them were among those who first chose to farm alongside you."

As he spoke, he glanced at Bai Mo, his eyes accusatory: "So, can't these two points prove anything?"

"The Beast God's will tells me you are cursed; your existence will bring a curse to the tribe, not only to females, perhaps next to Asher and the males."

Those few Sub‑Beasts nodded timely, as if giving Hua Wan proof.

Bai Mo's face turned cold, and he unconsciously touched his brow.

Jin Chen also lost his pleasant expression; if it weren't for 0731 shouting in his mind to stay calm, Hua Wan would already be torn apart.

Nonsense.

He glanced around, casually picked up a stone axe, and in Hua Wan's slightly fearful gaze, he chopped it onto the wooden post on the table.

"If you can't produce evidence for what you said today, you'll go lost together with Tuoluote."

Jin Chen's tone turned extremely fierce, confronting Hua Wan in front of everyone.

Hua Wan was so frightened by him that he couldn't even step back, only staying calm with someone's support.

"How can you say that about me? I can certainly produce evidence!"

"Don't believe me? Go look at the markings on the arms of the two corpses in the ancestral hall yourselves!"

He pointed to the ancestral hall behind him, seeming confident, already having judged Bai Mo guilty.

Thus many people crowded into the ancestral hall to look, and Jin Chen also took a glance.

Bai Mo gave Hua Wan a cold stare and suddenly asked, "You say you can receive the Beast God's will?"

"What a coincidence; the last person with such talent was my Amu. I once watched how she communicated with the Beast God's will—why don't you prove it to me as well?"

The priest and chieftain exchanged glances, also looked at Hua Wan, and urged him to produce evidence.

Previously, Bai Mo's Amu didn't need to prove anything, because she was, under the public eye, blessing the Leopard Tribe's warriors when everyone saw a light enveloping her whole body, within which faint ancient beast roars murmured, making people fearful.

Hua Wan, however, refused his request, only saying, "Since you've seen it, you should know that one cannot always enter communication."

"But I have another way to prove it."

He lifted his head high, his eyes confident and superior: "The Beast God's will has granted me a new ability; I can drive away forest animals without tools, making them fear me."

As soon as Hua Wan finished speaking, the tribespeople who had entered the ancestral hall to view the corpses all came out, their faces fearful, looking at Bai Mo with apprehension and dread.

Jin Chen frowned deeply, walked to Bai Mo's side, and said, "Mo Mo, they really do have markings on their arms, similar to the silver mark on your brow."

"I haven't…" "I know, I certainly believe you."

Bai Mo thought Jin Chen also didn't believe him, and was about to explain anxiously, but Jin Chen embraced him and whispered in his ear, "Let's investigate slowly; first let's see what Hua Wan really intends to do."

Only then did his heart relax.

Bai Mo hummed, linked his arm with Jin Chen's, and was not particularly afraid of this news.

As long as Jin Chen believes him, that's enough.

A tribesperson walked up behind Hua Wan, already half‑believing his words, after all the marking's appearance was truly uncanny.

"If you can prove what you just said—that you can drive away wild beasts—we'll believe you."

"Yes, that's really terrifying!"

"Hua Wan, hurry up and prove it—could this really be a curse? What should our tribe do?"

The tribespeople chattered incessantly, their gazes at Bai Mo growing more reckless; overwhelmed by fear, they seemed to have forgotten how Bai Mo had once saved them.

Only the few families Bai Mo had saved, and those on good terms with Jin Chen, believed them.

Hua Wan was quite pleased with this scene; under the gaze of countless stars he readily agreed, saying he could now go to the nearby forest edge to prove it.

What happened next simply refreshed everyone's cognition.

At the junction of the rear mountain and the forest, everyone gathered there waiting, only to see Hua Wan walk forward alone for a while.

Then he raised both arms, made a strange gesture, and afterward an uncanny scene occurred.

The birds in the trees, the snakes coiled around the trunks, and even the distant hares and beasts, as if stimulated, suddenly fled far away, stirring up a clamor of noise.

【My goodness, just two days without focusing on the beloved main character, and it's turned out like this!】

Jin Chen's face grew solemn, his gaze fixed on Bai Mo's cuff, yet he also found no hidden tool.

But it's even less likely to be the so-called Beast God's granted skill.

At least he didn't feel any fluctuation of any other power.

"This this this!"

"My Beast God! Could it be that Hua Wan is truly the inheritor of your will?"

"So then... Bai Mo's curse is also true?"

Everyone turned and stared at Bai Mo, eyes filled with terror, whispering.

"What should we do? Should we drive him out?"

"I'm really scared; if he doesn't leave, will we die?"

Bai Mo looked at them, his gaze sweeping over, then landing on Hua Wan.

He saw Hua Wan's face lit with an obvious smile, and he simply didn't understand.

"Bai Mo! Your curse is simply too terrifying!"

Suddenly a female shouted loudly.
