180: Chapter 180: Coming to Find Me?

Chapter 18: Looking for me?

Zhuo Ling let out a sigh of feigned hesitation, a flicker of calculation flashing briefly in her eyes. "I really want to help you all too..."

She trailed off, pausing just long enough for effect. "If you truly dislike her, the best way is indeed to make her leave. It's just that I can't think of a good idea for how to do it right now."

She intentionally softened her voice. "Besides, I think her saying she'd feed you to Piranhas was definitely just a bluff to scare you. We are precious Females; how could the Clan Leader possibly hurt us for the sake of an outsider?"

The surrounding Females looked at each other, seemingly swayed by her words.

Hu Na suddenly chimed in, "But she was right; that Stone House really was reserved for the Young Clan Leader's future Female."

The moment the words left her mouth, she realized she had misspoken and hurriedly tried to fix it. "Zhuo Ling, I didn't mean to..."

"It's alright,"

Zhuo Ling suppressed her displeasure and forced a gentle smile. "The Clan Leader doesn't like me, but Jin Yi and I love each other. Once he becomes my Beast Husband, I will definitely protect you all and won't let anyone bully you."

These words put the Females at ease and made them even more certain that Zhuo Ling was Jin Yi's choice.

Zhuo Ling schemed privately; as long as she used these Females' hands to drive Bai Wanwan away, Jin Yi would still be hers.

She didn't dare make it too obvious, but guiding these simple-minded Females was as easy as turning over her hand.

Inside a Stone House, Jin Cang, the Clan Leader of the Golden Lion Tribe, was listening to the Elder's report on resources when he suddenly frowned. "Jin Yue, you're injured?"

Jin Yue stepped out from the shadows, his expression grim. "The Clan Leader told me to keep an eye on those Outsider Beastmen. Last night, I saw that Snake Beastman acting suspiciously, so I followed him, and as a result..."

"You were injured by him?" Jin Cang raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of surprise. "You have a Yellow-Tier Talent."

Jin Yue's face flushed red. "I was too careless."

"Go back and recover from your injuries," Jin Cang leaned back against the stone chair covered in beast skin. "There's no need to watch them anymore."

Jin Yue looked up and forced himself to speak. "But their strength is formidable, and their purpose for coming to our Golden Lion Tribe is unclear."

"Continuing surveillance after being discovered will only be counterproductive."

Jin Cang glanced at him, his large palm stroking the coarse beast skin. "If she really is a Sacred Female, causing her resentment would be bad instead."

That Female named Bai Wanwan bore some resemblance to the Sacred Female of rumors.

Even if she wasn't, the fact that she could give birth to two Mutated Beasts was enough to prove her fertility.

Thinking about how Jin Yi had yet to have a Pairing Ceremony, Jin Cang couldn't help but sigh.

Forcibly tearing him and Zhuo Ling apart back then had indeed created a rift between father and son.

But that Zhuo Ling... Jin Cang narrowed his eyes. She was too calculating and had poor fertility; she wasn't worthy of Jin Yi.

The scent of blood on Jin Yue hadn't dissipated yet. Knowing his injuries weren't light, Jin Cang waved his hand. "Go down and recover."

After Jin Yue left, the Elder, who had been silent until now, couldn't help but ask, "Does the Clan Leader really intend to match Jin Yi with that outsider Female?"

Jin Cang smiled. "Uncle Elder, what do you think of her?"

"I'm getting old and my eyes are failing me; I can't see through her. But the Males around her are none of them simple."

"Exactly," Jin Cang nodded. "Could an ordinary Female make those arrogant Males crawl beneath her jiao sa skirt?"

"But the Young Clan Leader might not listen to you," the Elder pointed out the most crucial issue.

"There's no need to tell him for now." A sharp glint flashed in Jin Cang's eyes. "Someone, prepare some resources and have Jin Yi deliver them to the Female named Bai Wanwan."

At this time, Jin Yi was in his own residence, listening to his subordinate's report about Bai Wanwan.

"You're saying she already had a grudge with Zhuo Ling back in the Black Dog Tribe?" Jin Yi's long fingers lightly tapped on the stone table.

"Yes, Young Clan Leader. It's said that Zhuo Ling lost some clothes, which were eventually found at Bai Wanwan's doorstep. But Bai Wanwan directly gave her a more precious piece instead."

Jin Yi chuckled softly. She was quite a formidable and clever Female.

Just then, two beastmen walked in carrying boxes.

"Sent by Father Beast?" Jin Yi raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, Young Clan Leader. The Clan Leader wants you to personally deliver these to Female Bai Wanwan."

Jin Yi stood up and walked to the wooden boxes in a few strides.

Opening the lid, he found three shimmering jiao sa skirts inside, along with various precious gemstone jewelry.

"Heh," Jin Yi let out a light laugh. "Father Beast is being quite generous."

Previously, he had deliberately forced Zhuo Ling to have a Pairing Ceremony with other Males just to make him give up his feelings.

Now, however, he was treating another Female with such high regard.

Just what was the background of this outsider Female that she could make his Father Beast so attentive?

Not only did he let her stay in the largest Stone House, but now he was even having him deliver these precious resources.

Any single item in the wooden box would require many kills to trade for.

Father Beast really was generous, giving two boxes all at once.

Masking the expression in his eyes, he closed the lid. "Since it's an order, fine, I'll make the trip personally."

He wanted to see for himself what was so special about this Female his Father Beast valued so highly.

Bai Wanwan and Shi Hua had been eating fruit and chatting.

As expected of a Large Tribe, in just an hour or two, Bai Wanwan had already seen three very beautiful Females and four exceptionally handsome Males.

Of course, they couldn't compare to the ones in her home, but having passed through several Tribes, she still marveled at the overall standard of the Golden Lion Tribe.

Her throat feeling a bit dry from talking, Bai Wanwan picked up the water on the table and took a sip.

After finishing, she let out a lazy yawn. "Shi Hua, I'm going inside to sleep for a bit..."

Before she could finish, Shi Hua grabbed her hand, her tone excited. "Sister, don't sleep, look quickly!"

Bai Wanwan perked up and looked ahead.

Huh?

Isn't that the Young Clan Leader or whatever?

"He's so good-looking. I'm afraid only your Beast Husbands can compare to him, Sister."

Bai Wanwan stared intently at Jin Yi's face. His phoenix eyes and high bridge of his nose were perfectly proportioned, giving him a stunning, high-class, and striking appearance.

"Sister, he seems to be looking at us too..."

Shi Hua's voice carried a hint of bashfulness; a Male who was too handsome made her a bit afraid to look directly at him.

"Mm, you're right, he is looking at us." He wasn't just looking at them; he was walking toward them.

"Ah?"

Shi Hua immediately looked forward and saw Jin Yi getting closer to them step by step.

The sunlight hit his handsome profile, highlighting his noble temperament and making him even more daunting to look at.

Only Bai Wanwan watched him without even blinking.

Jin Yi walked over, meeting her gaze. He was used to being watched by Females, but this was the first time a Female had looked at him so directly without dodging.

There was no shyness in her eyes, only what seemed to be appreciation.

In the blink of an eye, Jin Yi had arrived in front of the two.

Shi Hua was speechless, her breathing even becoming a bit hurried.

Bai Wanwan curled her lips into a smile, looking at that handsome face magnified at close range. "Are you here looking for me?"
