Hu Qiumu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "My pleasure."
However, both of them knew that it was just a joke, so they didn't take it to heart.
While they were talking, they had already arrived at the hall. Although Feng Qiwu and Yu He seemed a little unreliable, they worked much faster than Chu Liangyu had guessed.
At this moment, everyone who should have arrived had already arrived, and when they saw the door being pushed open, everyone looked over.
They all looked at the fox in her arms with some curiosity, but no one was so tactful as to ask.
Chu Liangyu calmly sat down on his own chair and asked, "Did you bring the female here?"
"Hello, Chief. It's me."
A female with a haggard and sallow face walked out from the corner. Although these words were spoken to her, her vision was unfocused and her eyes were lifeless.
Chu Liangyu frowned and softened his tone: "I'm not here to punish you today, don't be afraid."
"I just want to ask you, why did you kill your beastly husband?"
Hearing that she would not be punished, the female's eyes regained some vitality as she had hope of survival.
However, after Chu Liangyu asked the question, no one spoke for a long time, and the atmosphere in the hall became a little solemn.
"You female, can't you hear the chief asking you a question?" Elder Jin's face wrinkled into a ball, half of his body standing up. "I can't even fart for a long time, it's frustrating."
"We still have a long time to wait. Elder Jin, there is no need to rush."
This hot-tempered elder was still the same as always. Chu Liangyu couldn't help but feel helpless, but he also knew that he had no ill intentions, so there was no blame in his tone of voice.
Everyone's gaze fell on the female again. Her lips moved, opening and closing, but no sound came out. After a long moment, she finally said, "My name is Cao. I didn't say anything just now because I was worried you would think what I said was unreasonable. But now I understand. If I don't say anything, those in the tribe who are in the same situation as me will have even less desire to resist."
"I know that males are the strong laborers of the tribe and are even more important when going out hunting. Without them, we females might starve to death, but..."
When she spoke of this, Cao's voice suddenly choked up. "But what you don't know is how we females survive. Hunting us for cubs is a form of exchange, so we shouldn't complain. But males can't take advantage of us without restraint!"
"They didn't even let me go during those days when I was bleeding. If they continue like this, I'll die sooner or later. I hate them. I hate their greedy eyes that look at prey, so I killed them all."
It is unreasonable to have more females than males, not to mention that not every male can control his desires. Often at such times, the weaker females become victims.
Even though the Beast God once stipulated that females should not be harmed, this kind of thing between husband and wife was not considered real harm after all.
There are many people who have encountered this situation, but most tribes ignore it. If Cao had not killed her own beastly husband, it would not have caused such a big commotion in the tribe.
Putting aside whether her behavior was right or wrong, it is a bit strange that she could kill her five beastly husbands by herself.
Elder Xiong's eyebrows knitted together, and he couldn't help but ask her, "How could a female like you have the guts to kill your own beastly husband? Do you have an accomplice? Tell the truth."
"I have no accomplices. I just diligently studied the physical techniques that the leader taught us every day, and then I took advantage of them and me... sleeping when I attacked them."
Elder Xiong hissed in disbelief and said subconsciously: "How is this possible!"
The others who hadn't spoken looked at each other, and soon murmurs of discussion were heard in the hall.
Originally, everyone in the tribe thought that the physical skills could only help them increase their physical strength, but they didn't expect that it would give them the ability to kill males.
But why is this kind of physical skill only taught to females and female cubs? The leader is obviously biased and is deliberately guarding against the males!
"This female has killed so many males. Even if we don't let her pay with her own life, she still needs some punishment. How about locking her up and giving her fifty lashes?"
They were so engrossed in their discussion that they forgot about Chu Liangyu and even forgot to ask for her opinion.
Chu Liangyu's several beast husbands had the same status as the great elders in the tribe, so they were naturally qualified to discuss things together in the hall, but they did not speak a word from beginning to end.
In this kind of relationship between male and female, if the wrong words are said, their female master may not say anything but will actually be angry.
But the situation at the scene was new, and it would be unacceptable if they didn't come out to help maintain the situation, so a few people opened their mouths and were about to say something to remind them of Chu Liangyu's existence.
But before they could say anything, something flew out in front of everyone's eyes, until it broke the door of the hall and a cold wind rushed in. Only then could they see clearly what it was.
It turned out to be the elder who had just said he would punish Cao. He was now lying on the ground with blood coming out of his mouth, and the person who attacked him was Chu Liangyu who was sitting above him.
When everyone looked over, she had just put her hand down and was stroking the fiery red fox in her arms again, with a faint smile still on her face, as if nothing had happened.
The elders present couldn't help but swallow their saliva and sat back in their seats, fearing that they would be the next ones to be knocked out.
Being embarrassed is a small matter, but if you lose your life, it would be a big loss.
"I said at the beginning that I'm not here to question you. Are you guys ignoring my words?"
Chu Liangyu looked kind on the outside, but his tone of voice was not polite at all and even had a hint of coldness.
"I dare not."
"Leader, you misunderstood. That was just the elder's opinion. It has nothing to do with us!"
"Yes, yes, it has nothing to do with us."
Chu Liangyu suddenly laughed: "So that's how it is. I thought you all couldn't understand me. If that's the case, then let's continue."
"Just now Cao mentioned that the beast husband forced her. I'm sure there are many other examples in the tribe. How do you think we should handle this matter so that the males in the tribe won't dare to force them at will?"
Chu Liangyu saw the eye contact among the group of people, but no one spoke for a long time. She also knew that her action just now had made them wary, so she said, "Don't worry, I'm not that cruel. Just say it."
It was just as Chu Liangyu thought. After she finished speaking, someone said, "This kind of thing can't be controlled by any system, but if the females have their own strength, the males won't dare to force them."
"Yes, yes, what Elder Hu said makes sense."
Chu Liangyu looked in the direction of the voice and saw a familiar face, the former patriarch of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, the current chief elder, and Hu Qiumu's beast father.
Chu Liangyu smiled and nodded slightly at him: "What the elder said just now gave me an idea."
