Chapter 551 Heavy Punishment
"very good."

Bai Wanwan nodded, then suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to Xin Feng beside her, feigning ignorance, "Xin Feng, I remember that the tooth marks and claw marks left by different beastmen when they hunt are different, right?"

These words, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirred up ripples among the onlookers, the orcs.

Many orcs then realized what was happening, their expressions changed, and they began whispering among themselves.

“Yes, that’s how it is. I’ll go take a look…” Xin Feng immediately understood her meaning and walked towards the hanging deer in a few steps.

Bai Zhi's expression changed instantly, and she immediately tried to rush over to stop them, her voice shrill: "What are you doing? This is my prey! What right do you have to touch it?"

The last trace of gentleness on Bai Wanwan's face vanished, replaced by an undeniable authority. She said coldly, "You don't have to touch it. But without an inspection, I can't prove your 'innocence.' So, based on the current situation and Qian Hong's accusation, I can only conclude that you stole someone else's prey and attempted to deceive them. According to tribal rules, you too must be punished."

"What gives you the right?" Bai Zhi's eyes reddened with anger, her voice sharp. "Just because of a single word from you?"

Bai Wanwan chuckled lightly, her laughter carrying a condescending indifference: "It's up to me, and more importantly, it's up to me. Now, either let Xin Feng inspect, or you leave the Tiger Clan tribe right now. Your choice."

She knew that now was the perfect time to establish order and rules so that things would be easier in the future.

For these primitive orcs who worship strength and are used to solving problems with their fists, a gentle heart-to-heart talk might only make them think you're easy to bully.

To get them to truly follow the rules, we must first establish sufficient authority and instill a sense of awe in them.

Otherwise, the chieftain would always be preoccupied with these trivial matters and wouldn't even have time to spend with her, which would greatly affect her quality of life!

"Even if you are the chieftain's wife, you can't bully females like this! Everyone, please judge!" Seeing that she couldn't win the argument with Bai Wanwan, Bai Zhi turned to the surrounding beastmen for help, trying to incite their emotions.

However, Bai Wanwan just smiled and glanced at her, then slowly said, "What should we do? Besides being the wife of the clan chief, I am also the shared wife of four red-rank males."

The phrase "four red-rank" struck the hearts of every orc like a heavy hammer.

For a moment, the arena fell silent. Even the tiger-clan beastmen who had been somewhat agitated just moments before fell completely quiet, their gazes towards Bai Wanwan filled with deep awe.

One Red-Rank expert is already legendary, four... that's a power and authority they can't even imagine!
Seeing this, Qian Hong cleverly stepped forward to stop Bai Zhi, who was still trying to cause trouble: "Holy Mother is handling this fairly. I agree with Holy Mother Bai Wanwan's decision. Why are you afraid of the inspection? Is it because you took the things?"

"No, you're talking nonsense."

But Qian Hong took the opportunity to block her, and Xin Feng took the opportunity to step forward and carefully examine the fatal wound on the deer beast's neck.

One of Bai Zhi's male beastmen saw Xin Feng approaching his prey and, in a moment of panic, tried to push Qian Hong away, but was blocked by Yan Lie, who had appeared out of nowhere, and Qian Hong's other beastmen, who were already glaring angrily. He was unable to move.

This delay gave Xin Feng enough time to see things clearly.

He stood up, facing all the beastmen, his voice clear and steady: "The fatal wound on this deer's neck was caused by the talons of a raptor, and the tear marks are consistent with the characteristics of bird-beastmen. I do not know these two females, nor do I know if any of their beastmen are bird-beastmen. But now the truth is here—whoever has a bird-beastman as their beastman is the true master of this deer."

The truth is revealed!

Bai Zhi's face instantly turned ashen, her lips trembling, unable to utter a single word. She was a native tiger-beastman, and almost all of her beastmen were tigers; where would a bird-beastman come from!

Qian Hong breathed a sigh of relief, a smile spreading across her face, and said loudly, "That's right! This deer beast was specially hunted back for me by my owl beast husband!"

Bai Wanwan turned her gaze to Bai Zhi, whose face was ashen, and asked in a calm tone, "Now, is there anything else you want to say?"

Knowing she couldn't deny it any longer, Bai Zhi, enraged and embarrassed, stomped her foot and shrieked, "It's just a deer! What's so great about it? Take it! Take it, who cares!"

She felt utterly humiliated, and after saying that, she turned around and tried to push through the crowd to leave.

"Wait a moment." Bai Wanwan's cool voice rang out again.

Bai Zhi turned around impatiently, her tone extremely sharp: "What else is there?"

"Making a mistake doesn't mean you can just return the item and pretend nothing happened."

Bai Wanwan looked at her and said, word by word, "You need to sincerely apologize to Qianhong for your theft, as well as your slander and sophistry just now. In addition to returning the deer, you also need to compensate her with a deer of the same size as punishment. If you do it again in the future, the punishment will be doubled."

"What?!" Bai Zhi screamed in disbelief. "You want me to apologize? And you want me to pay her back with a deer? All I took was one of her deer, what's the big deal?"

"I won't..."

Before Bai Zhi could finish speaking, the few males standing next to her who wanted to make a move were instantly pressed to the ground by a tremendous force before they could even see who made the move. Their cheeks were pressed tightly against the mud, looking disheveled and unable to even struggle.

Taking this opportunity, Bai Wanwan's sharp gaze slowly swept over all the orcs present, her voice clearly carrying to every corner:
"Everyone has seen it! The Tiger Clan is growing stronger and stronger, and in the future, more orcs like Qianhong will come here to settle down. Do you want our clan to be like this every day, arguing endlessly over a piece of prey or some trivial matter, even resorting to violence? Today she lost her deer, tomorrow it might be your salt bricks or his animal hides that are missing... Is this the kind of life you want?"

The beastmen looked at each other, finding the spectacle amusing, but the thought of such a thing happening to them made them all shake their heads.

Nobody wants to be on guard all the time and worry about these things.

"So please remember the rules I'm setting today!"

Bai Wanwan's voice suddenly rose, "From today onwards, in the Tiger Clan tribe, anyone who takes another's belongings without permission will be required to return them, apologize, and make compensation if discovered. Those who refuse to repent will be expelled from the tribe! I hope everyone can supervise each other and work together to maintain the peace and order of our tribe!"

Her gaze finally settled on Bai Zhi, who was slumped on the ground: "So, are you going to offer compensation, or leave the Tiger Clan?"

leave?

Do not……

She heard that things were in chaos outside.
