12: Chapter 12 Nobody Wants the Clan Chief

"Tang Ruan!"

Lang Lie was quick to react and caught her.

Tang Ruan shook her head, forcing herself to stay conscious.

This feeling of her battery suddenly running out was most likely hypoglycemia.

She leaned into Lang Lie's arms, dazedly giving instructions before passing out.

"If I don't wake up... feed me honey water, feed me..."

After that, she lost consciousness.

In a half-dream, half-awake state.

Tang Ruan felt something soft land on her lips.

She instinctively wanted to resist.

Suddenly, she realized the person was clumsily prying her lips open... and sending a burst of sweet nectar inside.

The sugary sensation made her whole body feel comfortable, and she drifted off into a daze again.

When she opened her eyes again, the magnified round face of Potato was before her.

"Tang Ruan, you're finally awake!"

Potato pulled her up from the ground and clamped her into an embrace.

"Tang Ruan! You're finally awake, wuwu..."

Tang Ruan almost choked.

"Let... let go... cough! You're strangling me..."

"Oh, oh!"

Having barely saved her life from Potato's embrace, Tang Ruan suddenly thought of something.

"When I was unconscious, did you feed me honey water?"

Potato: ...

Potato's face suddenly turned bright red, and his small eyes blinked, looking like he wanted to say something but held back: Would it be better to pretend that she fed it to her...

Tang Ruan understood in a second.

Although they were best friends, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation was still very awkward.

To avoid further awkwardness, Tang Ruan didn't continue asking.

Little Potato suddenly threw himself into Tang Ruan's arms.

Hugging her, he cried bitterly: "Tang Ruan, no matter what happened, we are still best friends!"

Tang Ruan: ...

It was just a kiss, there's no need for this...

While Tang Ruan was unconscious, the Marmot Beastmen had fetched many animal skins from somewhere to help her make a thick bed.

Since she transmigrated, she hadn't slept on such a soft bed.

After eating a little, Tang Ruan lay back down.

She slept until evening and finally felt "fully charged."

Tang Ruan walked out of the cave, full of energy.

Suddenly, her footsteps paused, and she withdrew the foot she had stepped out with.

Outside the cave stood a dense crowd of wolf beastmen.

Each one was furrowing their brows, looking exhausted.

Seeing her, they immediately went up to meet her.

"Witch Doctor, you're awake!"

The one who spoke was Lang Yu's father, a white-haired beastman leaning on a cane.

"The Witch Doctor is awake!"

"Awake!"

"That's great!"

They were much taller than the Marmot Beastmen.

Tang Ruan, used to the Marmot Beastmen who were about her height, was startled and stumbled.

"Don't be afraid."

Lang Lie flashed from somewhere behind her and steadily supported her.

The wolf beastmen hurriedly stated their purpose.

"Yes, yes! Witch Doctor, we are here to thank you!"

One beastman placed the prey he was carrying on the ground.

"From now on, we are one family; whoever bullies you bullies us."

Another beastman also put down a chicken.

Tang Ruan recognized it as her chicken.

Tang Ruan: ...

Lang Lie walked around to her front and said solemnly: "I represent the entire tribe to apologize to the Marmot Tribe for last night's actions!"

As he spoke, he bowed to the caves in every direction.

Tang Ruan knew the Marmot Beastmen must all be hiding in their caves, eavesdropping.

"These represent our apologies."

The crowd dispersed, and a pile of wild fruits half the height of a person was stacked on the open space, many of which were rare fruits only found in the forest.

The trees not far away were also hung with prey.

At first glance, it was a bit scary.

"You don't need to apologize to me the most."

Tang Ruan thought of last night, when Lang Chi wanted to use the Marmot cubs to operate.

She had no right to forgive on behalf of others.

"I know," Lang Lie's icy eyes flickered, "so we plan to move out."

Hearing this, the Marmot Beastmen who were originally hiding in the caves and eavesdropping poked their heads out.

"Move where?" Tang Ruan asked subconsciously.

She regretted it as soon as she asked; what did it have to do with her!

Although she discovered last night that most of the wolf tribe were old, weak, sick, or disabled, and were very pitiful, only the most foolish people would sympathize with the enemy!

"I don't know..." Lang Lie smiled bitterly, "but there will always be a place for us to stay."

Hearing that the wolf tribe was really leaving, the excitement of the Marmot Beastmen could not be hidden.

"That's great! We can move back in!"

"They are finally leaving! Bless the Beast God!"

"Bless the Beast God."

"Why not stay!"

Suddenly, a loud voice interrupted the excitement of the Marmot Beastmen.

"Chief..."

"Chief, what are you saying?"

Potato's mother walked out of the cave.

She went straight to Lang Lie.

A faint, almost imperceptible smile curled at the corners of her mouth, "You can stay. But, you can only stay on the other side of the stream."

On the other side of the stream was the forest where poisonous insects infested.

Hearing this, the Marmot Beastmen clapped and cheered!

"Chief is brilliant! Bite them to death!"

"But they have insect-repellent belts. Look at the prey they brought; it was hunted in the forest. If I knew Tang Ruan had an insect-repellent belt, I would want to try going into the forest too."

"Forget it! With your short arms and short legs, don't forget the Chief's Beast Husband..."

"Shh!"

Potato's mother looked at Lang Lie provocatively.

"How about it? If you can stay, then stay. If not... then please leave my Dongdong Valley."

She raised her head, firmly meeting the wolf's gaze.

The Marmot Tribe was certainly no match for the wolf tribe, but they were no match for other tribes either.

The wolf tribe could find this place, and other tribes would find it in the future.

The wolf tribe's chief was still a reasonable person. If they met unreasonable ones, they would have been exterminated long ago.

It would be better to use them. Let them become the guardians of Dongdong Valley.

What's more, there was Tang Ruan...

"Alright!" Lang Lie agreed readily, "But please give me a few days."

"No problem!"

Lang Lie took a deep look at Tang Ruan, wanting to say something but holding back.

He turned and left with the wolf tribe.

As soon as they left, the Marmot Beastmen swarmed out.

Even before the wolf tribe arrived, they had never seen so many good things!

"The fur of this prey is really good; it can be made into clothes."

"Mom, I want to eat stewed meat with potatoes tonight!"

"Wait until your big sister Tang Ruan is better; Mom doesn't know how to make it."

Watching the happy Marmot Beastmen, Tang Ruan let out a breath. That's great!

"Tang Ruan, this is your chicken, right?"

Hongshu picked up the chicken from the ground, handed it to her, and smiled, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth.

"However, it seems to be dead."

Tang Ruan felt as if she had been shot in the chest.

A devastating blow.

Her old hen that she had raised for three years, aaaaaah!

Tang Ruan glared fiercely at Hongshu: Isn't it just that I kissed your wife? Look at you being all sarcastic!

Hongshu: ...

Suddenly, Tang Ruan stumbled.

She was hugged from behind.

She turned around.

She saw Xingxing, who was half a person tall, sticking to her like a little gummy candy.

"Witch Doctor, why aren't you going back with the Chief?"

Tang Ruan: ...

Tang Ruan pried open his little hands, "Because I am not a Witch Doctor, nor am I your tribesman."

Xingxing's face showed a confused expression, and he scratched his messy hair.

"But you have already... with the Chief..."

"Xingxing!" Lang Yue's voice came from afar.

Xingxing let go of Tang Ruan and ran towards his mother.

"Mom, if the Witch Doctor doesn't want the Chief, does that mean the Chief has no one who wants him..."
