Chapter 609
Since they weren't looking for trouble, Wen Xin decided to ignore the brother and sister for the time being and had Little Tiger Mother take her to see the dregs of the medicine.
Meanwhile, a group of beastmen, eager to watch the drama unfold, had gathered in front of Little Tiger's mother's house. They had all heard the argument inside the cave, but most of them didn't believe that Tiger Sister would harm Little Tiger.
After all, they are of the same race, and what would Tiger Girl be after?
But Wen Xin is an outsider, not of our kind, and her intentions are bound to be different. Most of the beastmen in the White Tiger tribe will only suspect that she is framing Tiger Sister and trying to bring disaster to their tribe.
Wen Xin ignored the gazes of the orcs and rummaged through the dregs in the stone pot. Bupleurum, Isatis leaf, Platycodon... these were all herbs that could treat colds and fevers in children, and their medicinal properties were quite mild. The amount of soul fragments used was also small.
Even if it can't cure Xiaohu's illness, it's impossible for it to poison him.
Um?
Wen Xin suddenly stumbled upon a small section of unfamiliar vine, and something flashed through her mind, triggering a memory.
This is a type of vine found deep in the Great Wilderness Mountain, near the cliff on the back side. It is highly poisonous; even a small amount ingested can cause necrosis and gradual death in orcs. However, the flowers that grow on the vine can be used as an antidote.
Wen Xin showed the small section of vine to Little Tiger's mother, "The truth about your son's poisoning has been found. Someone threw it into the pot while you were brewing the medicine."
Little Tiger Mother stared at the vine in horror, "This wasn't in the herbs you gave me."
Why are there residues in the pot?
Wen Xin glanced at her. "So, you still think I'm the one who harmed your son?"
How could that be?
Little Tiger's mother was a little dazed, but when she saw Bai Yan helping Tiger Girl out, she was instantly enraged. She rushed over and grabbed Tiger Girl by the neck, yelling, "Why did you poison my Little Tiger? Why? What did Little Tiger and I do to offend you?"
Tiger Girl's eyes rolled back as she was pinched, and she almost suffocated.
She pushed the little tiger girl away in disgust. "What are you doing? You believe everything she says?"
Tiger Mother sneered, "When I was brewing the medicine, no one but you came near me. And ever since Wen Xin came to our tribe, you've been looking down on her. You even spoke ill of her to me this morning... I understand now, you're using me to deal with her. Tiger Sister, how can you be so heartless?"
Wen Xin watched the show with her arms crossed, thinking that this little tiger mother had finally grown up and it was really not easy.
At this moment, a female orc who didn't get along with Tiger Girl suddenly exclaimed "Huh?" and pointed at the vine, saying, "A few days ago, when Tiger Girl ran away recklessly and was brought back by the chief injured, wasn't she holding this kind of vine in her hand?"
Upon hearing this, Tiger Girl would say that these vines only grow on the cliffs near the Demon Cave behind the Great Wilderness Mountain, thus confirming that Wen Xin came from that place, and even the evil spirits couldn't do anything about it.
She glared angrily at the talkative female orc, wishing she could slap her.
The female orc wasn't afraid of her and just rolled her eyes at her.
At this point, Wen Xin had become a mere spectator.
All the orcs questioned Tiger Girl with hostility: "Why did you poison Little Tiger?"
Bai Yan sensed the anger and dissatisfaction of the tribespeople and dared not protect his sister in front of everyone. He sternly rebuked her, "It's one thing for you to be willful all the time, but how could you do such a thing?"
Tiger Girl's face turned ashen, and she moved her lips to argue, "I...I did all this for the White Tiger Tribe."
Little Tiger Mother felt like tearing her apart. "For the White Tiger Tribe? It's clearly because you were jealous of the outsider female and wanted to harm her, that's why you poisoned Little Tiger. I think you're the vicious demon."
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth off! I'm the sister of the White Tiger tribe chief, how could I possibly be a demon?"
Tiger Girl continued to yell arrogantly, showing no remorse whatsoever.
Bai Yan was so angry at his brainless younger sister that he almost had a cerebral hemorrhage.
He is indeed the leader of the White Tiger tribe, but the tribe is not a place where he has absolute power.
People won't take it too seriously if you frame a female from another tribe, but poisoning your own tribe's offspring is a completely different matter.
Tiger Girl, oblivious to the gravity of the situation, continued shamelessly, saying, "I was guided by the Beast God to eliminate evil spirits. Even if it costs Little Tiger his life, it would be his honor."
Little Tiger's mother was so angry she almost fell backward. "Then why don't you use your own life?"
"How dare your lowly brat compare to me..."
"Tiger Girl, shut up!"
Bai Yan slapped her across the face, his expression extremely unpleasant. "Do you know what you're saying?"
Tiger Girl was stunned by her brother's beating. When she came to her senses, she started making a scene, "Brother, why are you protecting that vixen again? I'm your sister! Brother, how could you do this to me?"
Wen Xin, who was happily enjoying the melon, raised her eyebrows and used the word "again" to capture the essence of the moment.
So, it really is a rebirth trope.
However, even though this tiger girl has been reborn, why does she still look so... stupid?
Is this a lonely rebirth?
Well, if her brain was already as stupid as a pig, and she can't be reborn with a new brain, it's no wonder she's not smart.
But, a vixen?
Does this mean that foxes also have a bad reputation in the beast world?
We're all animals, so why the discrimination?
Bai Yan's face was full of anger as he pointed at his sister, "You poisoned Xiao Hu and you still have the nerve to say that?"
Seeing that Bai Yan was truly enraged, Tiger Girl began to panic. Thinking back to her miserable experience of being driven out of the White Tiger Tribe in her previous life, she shuddered.
No, she couldn't afford to fall out with Bai Yan again and let that lowly woman Wen Xin have her way.
"Brother, I led the way today, which is why we were able to hunt so many prey. Don't you believe I'm a divine messenger chosen by the White Tiger Beast God?"
Bai Yan's expression froze for a moment, and the anger on the faces of the other beastmen who had followed him out that morning subsided slightly.
In orc society, they unconditionally worship their beast god, and when it comes to the beast god, what does killing matter?
Sometimes, during famines and natural disasters, tribes also engage in various bloody sacrifices.
As long as it's what the Beast God needs, slaughtering any number of orcs is worthwhile.
If Tiger Girl is truly the messenger of the White Tiger Beast God, then her poisoning of Little Tiger would become justifiable.
However, it's highly unlikely that Wen Xin would allow this Tiger Girl, who poisoned and framed her and was full of malice towards her, to truly live up to the title of Divine Messenger.
The enemy should be pressed down into the ground so that she can't even crawl out.
"Was it because of the Beast God's instructions that you were able to lead everyone to hunt so many prey, or is it because you are a demon from the depths of the Great Wilderness Mountain and are very familiar with the area?"
Wen Xin effortlessly labeled Tiger Girl as wicked, then, without giving her a chance to refute, slowly said in a gentle, smiling voice:
"Don't forget, she went deep into the Great Wilderness Mountain before, and evil spirits can possess orcs."
