Chapter 291 The public is furious

Jin Yi stood quietly by the stone wall, watching.

I don't know what Zhu Xiu said, but the smile on her face was brighter than the morning light.

For a fleeting moment, he wished he could be like Zhu Xiu, and have that focused and unreserved smile of hers.

"Young patriarch..."

A young male voice interrupted his thoughts, "The chieftain wants you to come over now."

Jin Yi forcibly averted his gaze, no longer wanting to look at those glaring images.

"Let's go."

As he turned around, he caught a glimpse of her leaning close to Zhu Xiu's cheek and gently placing a kiss on it.

Her kiss... he had received it before.

It smelled so sweet that it was intoxicating. Just thinking about it made him feel a surge of heat that almost overwhelmed his self-control.

He wanted to rush over to her and confess his feelings, to become her lover and be treated with such tenderness and sweetness by her.

Suddenly, he quickened his pace, as if some ferocious beast was chasing him from behind.

The male behind him immediately caught up and followed in his footsteps.

When he entered the council chamber, the atmosphere in the stone house was extremely solemn.

Jin Cang sat on the main seat covered with animal hides, the wrinkles between his brows deeper than ever before.

"The bears attacked our hunting party again this morning," Jin Cang said angrily. "Three males were seriously injured, and all the prey was stolen."

Jin Yi walked in silently and overheard these words.

His jawline is taut, and this happens every day.

The bear tribe's invasion has escalated to the point where it is no longer possible to control.

This is already a sharp blade hanging over the heads of the Golden Lion tribe, affecting the survival of every member of the tribe.

"Where is the male we sent to talk to them?" Jin Cang asked.

“They’ve been driven back.” The old male standing to the side sighed. “The Bear Clan doesn’t care about the Bear Clan beastmen we’ve captured. They’re determined to oppose us.”

Snapped!
Jin Cang slammed his hand heavily on the armrest, his face full of rage.

He endured again and again for the safety of both orc races.

However, the consequence of enduring it was that the bears repeatedly took advantage of the situation.

Silence fell over the stone house...

Jin Yi slowly stepped forward. "Clan leader, if we continue to tolerate them under the current circumstances, we will only face a survival crisis."

"you're right!"

Jin Cang's eyes became incredibly sharp, and he practically spat out the words through clenched teeth.

"Jin Yi, organize males of Yellow Rank and above, and lead them personally to fight back against the Bear Clan's orcs."

Jin Yijun's face hardened with a cold, sharp edge. "How does the clan leader want us to retaliate?"

A moment later, Jin Cang gave a resounding answer.

"Kill them all!"

Jin Yi's breath hitched slightly. When he was a child, his father always taught him that a true leader should seek to resolve disputes peacefully, rather than resorting to violence to establish authority.

But right now, the survival of the tribe is indeed a pressing issue.

Whether it's the father beast or him, there's only one path left to take.

"it is good."

He agreed in a deep voice...

Every day, Bai Wanwan could hear the cries of the hungry cubs in the tribe, and the females cursing their beastmen for being incompetent and unable to bring back more food...

There is already widespread discontent within the tribe.

Bai Wanwan didn't try to appease any of the orcs; she simply prayed that things would go smoothly this time, allowing her to successfully harvest a large quantity of potatoes. Supported by Xin Feng, she carefully examined the potatoes.

Although the weather has cooled down a bit, it is still hot.

She was initially very worried that the stems and leaves would wither.

But after a few days, with timely watering, these potatoes seemed to have survived.

Xin Feng noticed her worry and comforted her, saying, "You're all growing well, don't be nervous."

Bai Wanwan nodded, turned her head and smiled at him, "I feel more at ease if I watch it twice a day, besides, I don't have anything to do."

Xin Feng took her hand and helped her to sit down in the shade of a tree.

“I know you’re blaming yourself for this crisis, but the conflict between the Bear Clan and the Golden Lion Tribe has a long history. Wanwan, we can help as much as we can, but if we can’t, don’t blame yourself.”

Xin Feng had a small heart. If the Golden Lion tribe encountered a crisis, he couldn't save them. He only hoped that his females could live well.

He didn't want her to go through all that trouble for these orcs, especially since she was pregnant.

"Yes, I'm just doing my best. Don't worry, if the bear clan really threatens us, then we'll leave."

Xin Feng felt relieved and told her, "Then you sit here for a while. I'll go water the plants and then go home."

"Well, you go."

Bai Wanwan sat under the shade of a tree with her cubs, and could see the male figures busy in the field with just a glance.

Although the outside world is chaotic, here, it is a peaceful and serene place.

Xin Feng quickly watered the entire plot of land.

He was afraid of the heat and bent over, so he moved very quickly and returned to her side after watering her.

“It’s getting hot, let’s go home. Jin Yu can come over and take a look later, you don’t need to come by yourself.”

Jin Yu is Shi Hua's newlywed beast husband, and he moved in a couple of days ago.

Now I take care of Shihua and the babies, and also help them out when they're too busy.

"Don't be nervous. My belly is bulging, but it doesn't affect my walking. In fact, walking more is good for your health..."

The main problem is that medical conditions in the beast world are limited, so many females who are pregnant basically stay at home to give birth.

It's rare to see someone like her, pregnant yet still out and about every day.

If a wrestling match is likely to result in a miscarriage, the tribal shaman can treat some external injuries, but if a miscarriage occurs, the only recourse is to pray to the Beast God.

May the mother and child be safe; otherwise, they will have to go to see the Beast God.

The two chatted about trivial matters as they slowly walked home.

But as soon as they turned the corner, they saw a group of orcs charging menacingly towards them.

Bai Wanwan looked at their eyes, as well as at Jin Yuan and several other females who were huddled at the back of the crowd.

She had a vague feeling that these orcs were coming for her.

Xin Feng's senses were even sharper, and he shielded her almost the instant the orcs appeared.

"Bai Wanwan, it's all because of you that the Bear Clan and the Golden Lion Clan have fallen into this mess. Do you know how many of our people will starve to death this snow season because of you?"

The orcs that charged were both male and female.

Their faces were contorted with rage, as if they wished they could bite Bai Wanwan to pieces and swallow her whole.

Xin Feng's gentle features were now frosty. "Stop! If you take another step forward, don't blame me for biting your throats!"

Immediately, someone in the orc horde shouted, "It's all because of you that our Golden Lion tribe has suffered such a disaster!"

"Get out!"

"Get out!"

The crowd was outraged, their eyes blazing with fury.

Xin Feng shielded Bai Wanwan tightly behind him, wary of every orc from the Golden Lion tribe.

Bai Wanwan patted his shoulder, "Xin Feng, don't worry, I'll talk to them."
