Two days later.
On a hot afternoon, Bai Yingying and her two companions were taking care of the cubs in the cave.
Ji Huo hurried back from outside.
Ji Feng put Xiaohua down and quickly stepped forward to ask, "Brother, how is it?"
"Zhu Gang is too patient. He has been hiding in the cave and has not come out. The surrounding area is heavily guarded, so it is not easy for us to sneak in." Ji Huo said solemnly.
It was hot at noon, but there were still many guards.
He worked under the scorching sun for a long time but didn't find any opportunity.
Bai Yingying has fully recovered, and they plan to take action in the next two days, but Ji Huo has been exploring for two or three days in a row, and Zhu Gang has been very cautious and has not left the cave at all.
"Zhu Gang can't be so low-key. This must be something Zhu Dali specifically instructed." Chi Zhen's eyes flashed. "We have to think of a way to get him out..."
Bai Yingying smiled slyly, "What do you think, if I tell the clan leader that I'm willing to continue being Zhu Gang's partner, what will his reaction be?"
She behaved very submissively in front of the clan leader, as if she was afraid of offending him. In addition, given Zhu Gang's personality, he might not tell the clan leader the details.
I think the patriarch believes her, but whether he believes her or not still needs to be tested.
"Good idea!" Ji Huo clapped his hands and laughed when he heard that.
Ji Feng didn't understand and pouted, "Yingying! I don't like Zhu Gang and refuse to start a family with him."
"Stupid Afeng." Bai Yingying reached out and gently tapped his head. "Of course I was trying to trick the clan leader so that he would release Zhu Gang!"
A gleam flashed in her eyes, "Perhaps, I can add more fuel to the fire."
After a few people agreed, they planned to go to the patriarch first to test his attitude.
Ji Feng and Chi Zhen have already been engraved, and they are not willing to show up for fear of arousing suspicion.
Under Ji Huo's protection, Bai Yingying went to the clan leader's cave in person.
After lightly expressing her envy of the Zhu family's power and her admiration for Zhu Gang himself, she proposed that they continue to be together.
The patriarch had no doubts and agreed happily.
He even personally escorted Bai Yingying out of the cave.
There are always people watching outside the clan leader's cave, so news naturally spreads quickly.
Another day passed.
After lunch, Bai Yingying went to the witch doctor's cave calmly, asked Ji Huo to wait outside the cave, and went in alone.
Lan Lan was busy, but when she saw her, she rushed over and yelled, "Shameless rabbit spirit! What are you doing here again? Isn't it enough that you killed Brother Yong?"
At this time, people were coming and going in the cave.
Bai Yingying lowered her eyes, pretended to be afraid and took a few steps back, saying timidly, "I'm here to find Sister Amei."
"You're looking for my sister?" Lan Lan couldn't believe it, her eyes widened. "How dare you come to my sister!"
It was obvious that this was not the first time Lan Lan had met Bai Yingying, and she had not gotten away with it the last time. However, she did not notice Bai Yingying's obvious acting. She just thought that Bai Yingying knew she was in the wrong and was showing weakness.
"I'm here to apologize to her." Bai Yingying said in a low voice.
Lan Lan was so angry that her chest hurt. She yelled, "You apologize? Is your apology going to help?"
She made a lot of noise on her own, and the family members who came to the cave to see the patient or accompany them all looked at them and started pointing and talking.
Lan Mei was worried that the matter would get out of hand, so she didn't dare hide anymore and quickly stepped out to hold back the impulsive Lan Lan.
"Alan, don't be so fierce." She smiled softly at Bai Yingying, "Sister Aying, right? Can we talk somewhere else?"
She was gentle and kind, and with just a few words, she immediately calmed Lan Lan, who was on the verge of a rage.
Most of the females Bai Yingying had met were frank and simple-minded. Now she knew that she had met a truly scheming female orc.
That's good. Bai Yingying was afraid that she was a female who followed the rules.
The three of them walked into a cave filled with medicinal herbs.
Bai Yingying looked at the furnishings in the cave unscrupulously, but did not speak.
Lan Lan was anxious and quickly stood in front of her to block her view. "What are you looking at? People from small places are just ignorant. These are all dried medicinal herbs, they are very precious. Don't touch them, okay?"
The rabbit hunting tribe naturally also dries herbs, but the caves get damp in the summer, making storage difficult. But the herbs here are so well preserved. I wonder how they do it?
Bai Yingying pushed her away impatiently, "Did I touch you? You're talking too much nonsense."
Seeing that Lan Lan was about to explode, Lan Mei quickly comforted her, "Alan, they are busy outside, why don't you go and help first, I will be there soon."
Lan Lan stamped her feet, looking reluctant, "Sister!"
"Listen to your sister. When has your sister ever let you down?" Lan Mei said meaningfully.
Lan Lan's eyes lit up and she smiled inexplicably. She glared at Bai Yingying fiercely and left the medicine room.
Lan Mei put away her smile and said calmly, "Sister Aying said she came to apologize, but it seems she doesn't have any sincerity."
"I'm not here to apologize." Bai Yingying raised her eyebrows, a hint of disdain in her eyes, "I just came to see what Agang's sweetheart looks like."
After she finished speaking, she looked Lan Mei up and down and said, "Oh, nothing special."
Lan Mei's expression remained unchanged as she said indifferently, "You saw me just now. If you just wanted to see me, why did you follow me in?"
Bai Yingying's face immediately lit up with exaggerated jealousy upon hearing this. "I know that Gang made such a scene last time just to avoid marrying me. Humph, I'm determined to be with him. I'm telling you, Lan Mei, you better give up on the man I, Bai Yingying, like! Otherwise, don't blame me for taking action against you!"
"So you're here to provoke me." Lan Mei's eyes flashed with contempt, and the corners of her mouth curled up. "Bai Yingying, you don't seem to understand Agang. No one has ever been able to change his mind. Even if you persuade the clan leader, you may not succeed."
She raised her chin, revealing a hint of pride: "Agang and I have been childhood sweethearts and have a deep relationship. If the clan leader doesn't say a few words or I don't want him anymore, he won't give up."
"Forget childhood sweethearts. There are dozens of young females of the same age as him in your Lan family alone. Are you all in a relationship?" Bai Yingying glared at her. "Agang and I are a couple recognized by our elders. You're just a couple with superior fertility, and you're still coveting the clan leader's beloved son. Aren't you overestimating yourself?"
This remark touched a sore spot for Lan Mei. Her expression changed slightly, and she could no longer hold herself back. She sarcastically said, "Haha. You can give birth, but didn't Gang still want you? He even went so far as to let Zhu Yongqiang marry you?"
“Bang!”
Bai Yingying's eyes flickered slightly, and she slapped Lan Mei in the face. "I'm saying this now. If you dare to seduce Ah Gang again, I'll smack you in the face!"
After she said that, she left the cave angrily without giving Lan Mei any chance to react.
Lan Mei was stunned by the force of Bai Yingying's hand. Her head was buzzing and even her ears were ringing.
By the time she reacted and looked up again, Bai Yingying had already left.
She stared at the door intently, hatred in her eyes. Ignoring the burning pain on her face, she simply put her hand over her belly and muttered to herself, "If I can just hold on a little longer, as long as I can successfully get pregnant, the clan leader won't separate Gang and me anymore."
