Chapter 31 I Don't Like Your Tribe
“Yuanyuan…”
He reached out and tried to grab at the air, but only managed to grasp at thin air before slowly collapsing to the ground.
“Yuanyuan…it’s Mom’s fault. Mom didn’t protect you well.”
Dad frowned, picked up the signed contract on the table, turned and walked towards the door. "You stay here and don't even think about running away, or you'll regret it."
………
"Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan, what's wrong?"
We've reached the vicinity of the rock wolf tribe.
Huya lifted her off Feng's back.
Yuanyuan suddenly opened her eyes, her eyelashes still wet with tears. Her mind was still foggy. She had just been crying in her mother's arms in the villa, so how could she smell the fragrance of grass and trees as soon as she opened her eyes?
Huya squatted down in front of her, gently touching her forehead with his palm, his face full of worry, "Did you have a bad dream? Just now on the wind's back, you kept crying and calling 'Mommy'."
Yuanyuan then took a closer look at her surroundings. Unlike the Black Tiger Tribe, this place was full of tall, dense forests and trees.
There are nothing but rocky mountains and rocks here.
They were standing halfway up the mountain, looking down at the foot of the mountain where there was a green expanse, or more accurately, a grassland.
The rocky mountain stands in the middle of the grassland, and it is also the gathering place of a rock wolf tribe, who live in the stone caves on the mountaintop.
"Which tribe are you from? What are you trying to do by trespassing on our Rock Wolf tribe's territory?"
Just as they were about to go up, a sharp shout came from behind them.
Huya shielded Yuanyuan behind him, maintaining a polite smile. "I am Huya from the Black Tiger Tribe. This is the wind of the grassland tribe. We mean no harm."
What are you doing here in our tribe for no reason?
The dozen or so tribes, large and small, in this forest rarely visit other tribes, except for a few that are on good terms with each other.
Huya wasn't angry when questioned. He explained, "This is a little messenger sent by the Beast God to help your tribe raise cubs, as instructed by the Beast God."
"The Beast God's Messenger?" The leading beastman, Alang, scoffed, his gaze sweeping over Yuanyuan's pale face, where there were still traces of tears. He didn't believe it at all.
"This little female? You think she's an envoy?"
"Then I'm still the Beast God!"
"Hahaha…"
They had just returned from exchanging salt with the sea creatures and were unaware that the Beast God had sent an envoy to deliver the cubs.
It just seems outrageous.
A tall, thin orc next to them said something even more outrageous: "Is it because your tribe can't afford to raise them, so you're sending them over to us to raise?"
"It's not impossible for us to raise them; our tribe is quite capable of adopting cubs. But you can't use the name of the Beast God to deceive people."
"That's right, the messenger of the Beast God? I've never heard of the Beast God having any messengers in all this time."
"If you said it was just a minor witch, we might believe you a little."
The orcs echoed each other, but no one believed them.
Yuanyuan's mind was filled with images of her mother covered in injuries; the scene from her dream kept flashing before her eyes, and she had no mind to do the mission.
They didn't believe her, and she didn't want to help anymore.
"System, I want to go home! I'm not doing this mission anymore! Send me back now!"
The system was also very angry. It didn't expect that the orcs of this tribe would be so tactless as to make its precious host cry.
[Yuanbao, don't cry. You can't go back yet. You must find the herbs and successfully exchange them for the fertility pill before the portal will open.]
Upon hearing the system's voice, Yuanyuan's tears fell even harder. "Why can't we go back?"
My mother is in danger; I need to go save her.
The system's voice softened, carrying a hint of coaxing, "[Yuanbao, be good. If you don't want to help them, then don't. Let's switch to another tribe.]"
You can visit a grassland tribe.
"No, I want to go back to my mother now."
Yuanbao, don't worry. Even if you go back to your mother, you can't help her much.
If you focus on completing the task, I'll try to contact the people at the Forestry Bureau and guide them to your mother. Is that alright?
"Can...can you really contact Uncle Gu and the others? Will they be able to find Mom?"
[Definitely!]
[We've already located your mother's position. Just focus on finding the herbs and getting the fertility pills. I'll pass the message on to them so they can rescue your mother. Isn't that more useful than you going back and wasting your time?]
Yuanyuan bit her lower lip, pondering the system's words repeatedly.
I'm only five years old. If I go back, all I can do is cry.
If the system could contact Uncle Gu, Mom might actually be saved.
I don't know why, but she trusts Uncle Gu a lot.
She sniffed and wiped away her tears. "Then...then you have to keep your word!"
I'll trade some herbs for fertility pills, you absolutely must help the police find Mom!
This organization absolutely does not lie.
The system immediately assured that it couldn't bear to see its sweet and soft little host cry.
"I'll start coordinating with them now. You go to the grassland tribe and do your mission first."
...
When Hu Ya saw that her eyes were swollen from crying, he thought she had been frightened by these people.
He quickly squatted down to comfort her.
"Yuanyuan, they don't respect you and they don't deserve your help. Let's go!"
"Yes, yes, yes, go to our grassland tribe, we will definitely not be as bad as them, and will give you the best hospitality."
Feng Hekun took the opportunity to promote his tribe.
“The female orcs in our tribe love their cubs very much. You’ll definitely get the best care when you go there.”
The leading rock wolf beastman frowned, looking at Yuanyuan's red and swollen eyes from crying, and felt a strange sense of guilt.
He said some harsh things, but he didn't really mean to bully her.
Her tone softened a bit, "Alright, alright, stop crying."
"If you really want to visit the tribe, come with me, but you'll have to tell our chief first."
The tall, thin orc next to him wanted to interject, but was glared at and swallowed his words.
"No, no need, I don't like your tribe."
"Uncle Feng, is it far from here to your tribe?"
"It's not far. If we go there tonight, we'll arrive first thing tomorrow morning. We can look for anything you need first."
Yuanyuan looked up at Huya, who immediately nodded, "Uncle will listen to you. If you want to go to the grassland tribe, we'll go."
The leader of the rock wolf beastmen, Alang, was taken aback. He hadn't expected them to leave so suddenly, but he didn't stop them: "Fine, go wherever you want."
As long as it's outside their tribal territory, they can't interfere.
"Leave now?"
Yuanyuan nodded; she wanted to finish her task as soon as possible so she could go home and see her mother.
It transformed into a beast-like form and crouched down in front of Yuanyuan. "You and the young master sit on my back, hold on tight to the feathers and don't let go."
Hu Ya first lifted Yuan Yuan onto Feng's back and told her to hold onto the feathers behind her neck. "Don't worry, Uncle will catch up with you soon."
The wind was in a good mood today, and with a flap of its wings, it said, "You two, transform into human form and come up together, hurry up."
And so, Huya and Kun climbed onto his back together.
It flapped its wings and flew away.
The orcs of the Rock Wolf tribe had a vague sense of foreboding, but they did not stop it.
I watched them leave helplessly.
The tall, thin orc, Ah Hui, leaned closer, his voice tinged with uncertainty: "Brother Ah Lang, are we just going to let them go like this? What if that little girl really is the Beast God's messenger, and our tribe..."
