Before the next day, news that Su Tang had paid off Lang Kui's prey had spread throughout the entire tribe.
Many females, having eaten and drunk their fill and with nothing else to do, gathered under the ancient trees in the middle of the valley with their newly weaned cubs and started discussing the matter.
"Isn't this Atang weird? She almost caused her whole family to die before, but recently, for some reason, her mother won't let her mate with Lang Kui anymore. She's been keeping to herself and living a secluded life. I heard she's already paid back all the prey Lang Kui gave her before!"
"Really? Wolf Kui has given her quite a few prey! How could Ah Tang's family of good-for-nothings and lazybones be so capable?"
Many females did not believe it.
With so much prey, even they would have to save up for many days to gather enough!
How could it be that A Tang family of unreliable orcs!
“I saw it with my own eyes, and Wolf Kui admitted it himself!” said a female who happened to be passing by the scene, gesturing exaggeratedly as she spoke.
"You didn't see it! That prey was... this big! And it was still bleeding, the blood smelled fresh, it must have tasted amazing!"
The orcs of the Gray Wolf tribe eat raw meat; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they live like animals eating raw meat and drinking blood.
For orcs, beast blood is also an excellent tonic.
"Are there really prey that big?"
"Are the males in Atang's family really this powerful?!"
The females were immediately filled with envy.
Their partners might not catch a prey that big all year round!
But some looked disdainful and were skeptical.
"It's only been a short time, less than a month, and she's already paid back the prey that Lang Kui gave her. I bet A Tang saved up by not eating or drinking so she wouldn't mate with Lang Kui and could pay him back!"
An older female immediately retorted, "What do you mean they don't eat or drink? They eat meat every day, several meals a day!"
"Haven't you noticed that Ah Tang's younger brother's face has gotten quite round lately? He used to have such a pointed face and monkey-like cheeks."
She heard the news from her own cub.
Ever since Xiao Fu distributed jerky to the cubs last time, news of Xiao Fu's lavish lifestyle has spread throughout the tribe. As the news spread, it went from eating jerky to eating meat all day long, spending all his time eating and sleeping.
Those days were absolutely wonderful!
The mothers of these cubs didn't believe it at first, but after hearing the news today, they realized that what their cubs said was actually true!
“It’s not just her brother,” another female added. “Their whole family has gotten fatter than before. And that Tang looks even fairer and more delicate than before. The last time I saw her, her face… tsk tsk, it looked like you could squeeze water out of it!”
What kind of face can you squeeze water out of?
That must mean they eat a lot of oily and greasy food regularly!
I've never seen a beggar with such tender skin.
The females were filled with envy. How could a female who had escaped have such a good life?
First, she caught the eye of Wolf Kui, who not only sent her a large amount of prey, but now she lives outside the tribe and is living a more comfortable life than they do.
For a moment, they couldn't think of the meaning of their staying in the tribe.
Upon hearing this, Wolfman scoffed, "Hmph! So what if you're so great!"
"What do you know? Those good-for-nothings in her family can catch prey? Those are all caught by wandering beastmen, and have nothing to do with A-Tang's family."
“She does all sorts of crooked things, getting mixed up with wandering orcs. That little bitch female is no good at all. Don’t be envious. One day when the wandering orcs go berserk, her whole family will die at their hands.”
Wolfman knew better than anyone what the males in A Tang's family looked like.
They'd rather lie down than sit, and rather sit than stand. If such an orc could actually catch prey, that would be a miracle.
The females were all speechless upon hearing this.
"So that's how it is..."
"There's no good ending to hanging out with wandering orcs. This Tang is really foolish."
"What are you talking about? I heard that the stray beastman isn't Ah Tang's mate at all. Her mother has taken in a stray beastman as her cub! My partner heard it with his own ears when he went there with the chief last time!"
In their opinion, not a single person in this family is mentally sound.
Not only the females, but the males in the tribe were also spreading the word about Sutang.
Knowing that the wandering orc was not Su Tang's mate, and that Su Tang had rejected Lang Kui and was now living a prosperous life, they all began to have designs on Su Tang.
After all, there isn't another female as beautiful and pleasing to the eye in the tribe.
Now they don't have to support Ah Tang's family of vampires anymore. There aren't many good partners like that!
Many males were eager to pursue Su Tang and bring her back to the Gray Wolf tribe. If they succeeded, it would be a great achievement, and the chief would reward them.
In the end, none of them actually went to see Su Tang.
The reason was simple: they had all heard that Lin Xia had taken the stray beastman home as her cub.
If they were to become partners with Su Tang at this time, let alone receive a reward from the chief, they would probably be kicked out of the tribe by the chief!
After all this commotion, the males all felt that Su Tang was a burden, and no one wanted to be her partner.
After all, no matter how good life is, getting involved with wandering orcs is a disgrace and will result in being expelled from the tribe.
Su Tang, who was now free of debt, was unaware of the ups and downs in her reputation within the Gray Wolf Tribe. If she had known, she would probably have been grateful that these orcs hadn't caused her any trouble.
She was roasting sweet potatoes with her whole family in front of the fire!
Such a large sweet potato couldn't be contained by a regular fire. We had to dig a hole, burn a fire inside for a while until the firewood was glowing red, and then bury the sweet potato inside.
After waiting an hour or two, the aroma of the sweet potatoes when they are dug out is absolutely amazing.
When roasted properly, the outermost thin skin can be peeled off to reveal the sweet potato flesh inside, which is where Su Tang loved to eat the most when she was little.
The charred side is also very fragrant. The soft and tender sweet potato flesh can be broken open and tastes even better than meat!
While Su Tang was enjoying a delicious meal, Lang Man wasn't idle either.
After gossiping about Su Tang, the females quickly shifted their focus to her wolf, Kui. It was the time for orcs to find mates, and many females, knowing that there was no possibility between Kui and Su Tang, started to set their sights on Kui.
Wolf Kui's strength is quite good among the younger generation in the tribe. Following him, one can at least have no worries about food and drink. Now he has also gained the leader's appreciation, so his future is even more promising.
Females don't care about looks. As long as they're full, they all look the same with their eyes closed.
Anyway, they won't only have one partner, so they can just find another good-looking one later.
Therefore, Lang Kui became a highly sought-after prize in the eyes of females.
Females of suitable age, whether they have partners or not, all come to inquire about Lang Kui's situation.
Wolfman was overjoyed. Regardless of whether Wolf Kui was willing or not, she happily searched for a partner for her Wolf Kui. Once the deed was done, even if that little bitch Tang regretted it, she wouldn't have a chance!
