With that, Lang suppressed his murderous aura, slowly lowered his tail, and looked at Yan Xi, but without the joy he had just shown, "Why now?"

"Because..." Yan Xi glanced at Rabbit Father and the others, "Because today is the day when the Rabbit Tribe sends tribute to the Gray Wolf Tribe and the Golden Tiger Tribe. We will delay their journey if we stay here."

"Oh, I see." Lang's tone was drawn out. He looked at Xiao Xiao and raised the corners of his lips. "So, she is a tribute, right?"

Yan Xi thought to himself that this was not good, "...Yes, that...Lang, let's go quickly so as not to waste their time."

Xiao Xiao is the heroine, so nothing will happen to her and she will definitely escape.

He had to take Lang away quickly. His intuition told him that things would get very bad if he didn't leave.

Lang held his hand in his backhand, lowered his head and asked him, "Your legs became like this to protect her, so what happened?"

Seeing that he was not giving up, Yan Xi panicked even more and stuttered a little, "No, nothing, it's just... I just wanted to protect my friend."

However, the more he downplayed it, the more it aroused Lang's anger, as well as the strong possessiveness deep in his heart. He couldn't help but expose his sharp nails and then retracted them abruptly. He suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Xiao Xiao coldly, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Xiao Xiao took a few steps back, alarm bells ringing in his heart, "I didn't want to be sent away as a tribute. They wanted to break my legs to prevent me from escaping, but he suddenly appeared and said he would replace me as a tribute, so I got injured because of it. That's what happened."

"Become a tribute in your place?" Lang repeated word by word. Yan Xi could hear the gnashing of teeth in his voice. He became inexplicably scared and quickly lowered his head to look at his toes.

Seeing him like this, Lang's anger reached its peak, and his heart felt like it had fallen into a glacier, so cold that it hurt.

Lang squeezed Yanxi's hand and asked, "Why? We already mated yesterday. You are my rabbit now, my partner. Why are you doing this?"

"What? A wolf and a rabbit mating?!" Someone in the crowd exclaimed in shock.

As we all know, tribes never mate easily due to different species. Even if they do, it is forced. For example, only tribute rabbits will mate with gray wolves and golden tigers, but these rabbits are usually eaten immediately after mating, so no rabbit will be stupid enough to mate with gray wolves.

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao looked at the two of them in surprise.

A real-life version of the Little White Rabbit and the Big Bad Wolf?

Two males...

Ancient people...really knew how to have fun.

Yan Xi felt his scalp tingling under everyone's strange gazes.

It’s over, it’s completely over.

He covered his face and wished he could crawl into the hole immediately.

Yan Xi took a deep breath, resisting the pressure, and slowly looked up at Lang, who was on the verge of a rage. Her voice was a little soft because of her guilty conscience. "I, I don't mean anything else. She is just a very good friend of mine. I don't want to lose her as a friend, so can you help me? I am willing to leave with you."

Maybe because he felt that he was too shameless, Yan Xi spoke very softly at the end, as soft as a mosquito or fly.

As expected, Lang increased the strength of his hands. Yan Xi felt pain, double pain, and he almost cried out. However, Yan Xi bit his lips and looked at him eagerly.

Lang looked at his pitiful and helpless appearance, and a nameless anger suddenly emerged, but at the last moment, he forced himself to suppress it, feeling angry and soft-hearted.

He immediately laughed out of anger, "Yes, of course, why not?! I want this female rabbit, and you can give the Gray Wolf Tribe one less."

Hearing this, Lao Bai frowned and looked at Rabbit Dad.

Rabbit's father understood what he meant and leaned over to whisper, "This big gray wolf seems to have some connection with the royal family of the gray wolf tribe. He might be able to make the decision."

Lao Bai's brows relaxed, and he glanced at Rabbit Father and Yan Xi. Suddenly, he understood and ordered, "Let this rabbit go with them."

The rabbit soldiers retreated and made way.

Xiao Xiao hesitated and didn't dare to take a step.

He could see that the big bad wolf named Lang was hostile to her. If she followed him, would she be able to come back alive?

But if she was sent to the Gray Wolf Tribe or the Golden Tiger Tribe, the danger there would be even greater and the chance of escape would be very slim, but... she could find a way to escape halfway.

So which one should she choose?

When she was struggling, Yan Xi winked at her and encouraged her to come over.

As soon as he made the gesture, he was unexpectedly pulled behind by Lang.

"What? You don't want to?" Lang looked at Xiao Xiao expressionlessly.

"I... probably am willing." Xiao Xiao smiled awkwardly and walked up to him.

Before she could stand firmly, Lang kicked her into the hole in the ground, and then jumped down holding Yan Xi.

During this time, Yan Xi heard Xiao Xiao's screams and... the sound of bangs.

“…”Hiss…so miserable.

Yan Xi closed his eyes and pretended not to see or hear.

Suddenly, he felt a pain in his waist. Lang pinched his flesh and said rudely, "Don't worry about her, or I'll skin her and pull out her tendons in front of you and make you eat her."

“…” Damn, so cruel.

Yan Xi quickly opened his eyes, "No, no, eating the flesh of our own kind will make you sick."
