Jiang Cha was sunbathing at the entrance of the cave, getting drowsy and sleepy.
But a group of uninvited guests arrived from afar.
To be precise, there were six or seven females who seemed to have ill intentions.
"Hey, isn't this the Stone Maiden Ginger Tea?"
"I heard you're pregnant, but there's never been a record of a woman with barren skin getting pregnant on the Beast World Continent. You're not lying, are you?"
"I've heard there's a fake pregnancy drug in the Beast World Forest. You didn't take one of those drugs to fool the High Priest, did you?"
Jiang Cha rubbed her eyes and squinted to see that the leading female was the clan leader's daughter, Liuli.
She is quite pretty, but she can't hide the malice in her eyes.
She seemed to loathe herself; the hatred seemed to come out of nowhere.
The other six females are also not very fertile; five of them have not conceived yet, and they are all Liuli's lackeys.
In Jiang Cha's memory, these people had ridiculed her quite a bit.
Just because she lost her parents and only had a younger brother who was a burden, but possessed a beautiful face and a stunning figure, they maliciously speculated that Jiang Cha often seduced their males.
In the past, I would only say a few sarcastic remarks to her when we bumped into each other on the street, but I never did anything like this before, running up to her doorstep and cursing her out.
"Whether it's fake or not, we'll know in less than half a month, what's the rush?"
Jiang Cha yawned lazily.
Suddenly, Liuli pulled out a stick from behind her and pointed it at her fiercely, saying, "What if it's fake? Wouldn't you have enjoyed half a month for nothing? Wouldn't the resources my father gave you have been wasted?"
Another female chimed in, "That's right, it would be a complete waste to use it on you."
"If that's true, do you know what kind of punishment you'll face for intending to harm the tribe's offspring?"
Jiang Cha instantly recalled the tribal rule: any orc who harms a cub to death will have their hands crippled, be permanently expelled from the tribe, and left to fend for themselves.
Liuli naturally thought of that clan rule as well. She trembled, then a red glint flashed in her eyes as she gripped the stick tightly in her hand. "So what if you are really pregnant? More than half a month ago, your partner was nothing but a good-for-nothing. The children you give birth to will still be a litter of good-for-nothings!"
"Alright, what's the point of you saying all that to me?"
Jiang Cha pointed at the females who had not yet had offspring, "You might as well let them go back and sleep with their own partners more often, and not come out and disturb other people's lives."
Seeing that she was unmoved by reason, Liuli's anger burned even brighter. "They are my good sisters, and it's none of your business to lecture them!"
The other females, who had initially looked rather displeased, immediately chimed in to support her.
"Yeah, what's with your attitude?"
“Our Sister Liuli is just thinking about the tribe. After all, there has never been a case of a stone woman getting pregnant in the Beast World Continent, so it is only natural that we suspect you.”
"We don't believe it anyway!"
"..."
Jiang Cha's head was throbbing from the noise. She said coldly, "Believe it or not, if you have any complaints, go find the clan leader and the priest. Don't make a scene in front of me!"
She's the clan chief's daughter; what's wrong with her helping her father?
Liuli was so angry that she took a few steps forward, picked up a stick, and wanted to hit someone.
The females behind them were terrified when they saw this, and their faces turned pale.
They thought Liuli was just using the stick to scare them, but they didn't expect her to actually use it.
The woman opposite is a pregnant female.
Although they only suspect it at the moment, if she really is pregnant, wouldn't hitting her with that stick kill the unborn child?
They couldn't bear to look at such a horrific scene and immediately closed their eyes.
Just then, Lin Bai appeared and blocked the wooden stick. He frowned and warned, "Even if you are the clan chief's daughter, you cannot beat a pregnant female at will."
He is male, and in the tribe, males are not allowed to get involved in conflicts between females, otherwise they will be punished.
Actually, he knew about these females as soon as they appeared, and he had been paying attention to their argument. He noticed that Jiang Cha was not losing ground, so he did not intervene.
Now that he sees the other side bringing out the stick, he can't possibly remain indifferent.
With a "snap".
Lin Bei's face instantly became red and swollen.
It turned out that Liuli had let go of the wooden stick and slapped him across the face.
The crisp sound of the slap instantly silenced the surroundings.
In their tribe, male orcs are not allowed to fight female orcs.
After all, female orcs are very weak, and if they lose control of their strength, they could easily kill their opponent.
Even after being slapped, Lin Bei remained motionless, protecting Jiang Cha. His gaze was fixed on Liu Li, and despite the burning anger in his heart, he refrained from retaliating.
He knew.
In fact, half of the patriarch's daughter's anger was directed at him.
It was because he refused to become her mate and her tenth beast husband.
And she refused twice.
Once last year, and once this year.
He could understand that she harbored resentment.
But the worst thing they could have done was to take their revenge on Jiang Cha.
He dragged his partner down with him.
When Jiang Cha saw that Lin Bei had been hit, she immediately got up to check on him. The red handprint on the boy's face was very obvious, and there was also slight swelling. The force of the hit was not light.
She pursed her lips with a touch of heartache; the boy could endure it, but she couldn't.
Jiang Cha quickly stepped forward and kicked Liu Li, knocking her to the ground.
She said coldly, "Don't go crazy here, or don't blame me for being impolite."
