Chapter 15: Hard work destroyed, Mia beaten
Bai Yuan was the first to arrive. Looking at the basket that had been licked to pieces by the flames, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.
Tomorrow is the day to go hunting, but the food baskets they had prepared with great difficulty were destroyed.
Bai Yuan sniffed, but all the males and females had been to the square today, and the smells were too mixed and intertwined, making it impossible to tell who set the fire.
He was careless.
He feels sorry for the hard work of all the females.
Other orcs arrived one after another. Bai Zhaoyan had just fallen asleep when Lang Ye woke her up, "Bai Zhaoyan."
"All the baskets we made today were burned."
Hearing this, Bai Zhaoyan sat up in shock from his dying illness, "What?"
In just a moment, she guessed who did it, "Go and take a look."
Lang Ye stood at the entrance of the cave and nodded. "The smell in the square is too mixed. I can't smell the murderer."
Bai Zhaoyan sneered. Who else but Mia could do such a thing?
Since she has no shame, don't blame yourself.
The two rushed to the square, and all the people in the tribe had already arrived. The females looked at the baskets they had worked so hard to weave being burned to ashes, their eyes filled with heartache.
Mia stood beside the beast husband, the firelight reflected in her eyes, and a mocking smile played on her lips.
Aren’t you all willing to listen to Bai Zhaoyan?
She burned all the baskets. She wanted to see how proud Bai Zhaoyan could still be.
The next second, a figure dropped from the sky and hit her on the head.
Bai Zhaoyan pushed the person to the ground, sat on her waist, and slapped her left and right, hitting her face repeatedly.
"Fuck you, you look like a decent person but you are not doing anything right. I, your aunt, will beat you to death today."
The sound of slapping was deafening. No one present had expected this scene and stared at it in a daze.
What a ferocious female.
Ye Zheng, Cen Ran and Lang Ye felt a sudden pain on their faces when they heard the slap.
Bai Zhaoyan is still so irritable. Fortunately, I didn’t get beaten these days, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
Mia was stunned by the blow, her cheeks aching. She immediately came to her senses and tried to struggle, but Bai Zhaoyan grabbed her hair fiercely and said, "I don't care about your little tricks, but who gave you the guts to touch my things?"
"Ah!" Mia cried out in pain, her voice filled with tears. "Bai Zhaoyan, are you crazy? Why did you hit me? It wasn't me who did it."
Not willing to be outdone, she scratched Bai Zhaoyan's face with her nails in an attempt to disfigure her.
The two females refused to give in to each other, but Bai Zhaoyan was stronger after all, so she could easily control Mia and leave her unable to fight back.
Bai Yuan sighed, "Zhao Yan, get up first. I know you're angry, but there's no evidence to prove it was Mia's fault."
"Lang Ye, why don't you pull Zhao Yan up?"
Hearing this, Lang Ye stepped forward and grasped Bai Zhaoyan's raised arm, "Bai Zhaoyan, that's enough. If you hit her again, she'll die."
Bai Zhaoyan refused to listen.
Lang Ye didn't let go either, "Zhao Zhao, be obedient."
Hearing that he changed his address, Bai Zhaoyan looked at him in surprise.
Under her gaze, Lang Ye realized how intimate it was when he called her name in a hurry. His face flushed and he looked away, clearing his throat and saying, "Get up first."
Cen Ran's eyes flashed, and he stepped forward to hold Bai Zhaoyan's arm, his voice gentle and sweet, "I'll help you up."
Bai Zhaoyan then put down his hand and got up from Mia, looking left and right.
It’s strange, why are her two beastly husbands so nice to her tonight?
Mia lay on the ground wailing, unable to even get up, and none of the three beastly husbands had the tact to help her.
One of the beastmen, Vince, looked at Bai Zhaoyan in condemnation, "Why did you hit Mia? The leader didn't even say it was Mia who did it. Apologize to Mia."
Nuoya also stepped forward, "That's right, Zhaoyan, you're too excited. Mia is a female in the tribe after all. How are you going to explain to her beastly husband if she gets hurt?"
Mo Wang stepped forward, standing between Vince and Bai Zhaoyan, protecting Bai Zhaoyan behind him.
Bai Zhaoyan felt warm in her heart as she looked at his back. She walked up to him, took his hand and squeezed it, indicating that she was fine.
The two looked at each other, her eyes reflected the tiny and bright light and his reflection. Mo Wang was stunned for a moment, and the only sound in his ears was the deafening heartbeat of his own.
[bite--]
[System: Mo Wang's favorability +20, host's health +20 days.]
Lang Ye looked at the two people's tightly clasped hands, and a low pressure enveloped his body. Bai Zhaoyan's hands were white and small, and it looked easy to hold hands.
Why didn't she hold her hand?
Bai Zhaoyan separated Mo Wang's five fingers and interlocked them with his. "What's wrong with me hitting her? Shouldn't she have been hit?"
"All the females except Mia are participating in the basket making today." She pointed at the females standing aside. "Ask them and their bestial husbands if they would ruin their hard work."
The other females shook their heads repeatedly, of course they were reluctant to do so.
"Aren't you and your family of four the only suspects in the entire tribe? Do you still need evidence?"
Vince choked and looked at Mia, who was lying on the ground.
Mia felt guilty for a moment, then shook her head repeatedly, tears streaming down her face, "It's not me, it's really not me. Bai Zhaoyan, you slandered me, you have bad intentions."
Bai Zhaoyan laughed out of anger, rubbed her wrist, and was about to rush forward again, "You don't admit it, right? I'm going to beat you until you admit it today!"
"No." Mia shuddered, ignoring the burning pain on her face, and quickly got up and hid behind Vince.
Cen Ran calmly held Bai Zhaoyan's other hand and said, "Don't be impulsive."
The basket is already ruined, and getting angry will do no good.
Bai Yuan looked at the chaotic scene and acted like a leader. "It's my fault for not keeping an eye on the square."
"No matter who did it this time, whether intentionally or unintentionally, I don't want this to happen again. We are all from the same tribe and should help each other instead of fighting among ourselves."
"If you do it again, you will be kicked out of the tribe."
"Now everyone go back and get some rest tonight before heading out hunting tomorrow."
The final word.
Mia felt as if she had been pardoned and ran away quickly, fearing that Bai Zhaoyan would catch up and beat her up again.
Bai Zhaoyan wrinkled his nose as he watched her fleeing, then looked at Cen Ran, trying to break free from his hand, "Why are you holding my hand for no reason?"
Are they that familiar?
Cen Ran's eyes widened. "Then why are you holding Mo Wang's hand?"
"Mo Wang is my beastly husband, why can't I lead him?"
Cen Ran said confidently, "I'm also your beastly husband, why can't I hold your hand?"
Bai Zhaoyan choked, then reacted and looked at him teasingly, "Oh~ It seems you've thought it through. Are you ready to be my partner?"
Hearing this, Cen Ran thought of the last time in the forest when she forcefully kissed him. His cheeks flushed and he violently shook her hand away, "No."
Ye Zheng, who had been watching the show silently, said coldly, "Childish."
