A vile, ugly, and fat female? A chaotic scene of six beastly husbands vying for her favor.

Chapter 147 Internal Friction

Seeing this, Ling Yu quickly ran over as well.

Why did they suddenly start fighting?
When she arrived, Shen and Xiao had just been pulled apart by Lie and Xuan, one on each side, but they were still glaring angrily at each other, their eyes blazing with fury.

"Why are they fighting? We're all from the same clan."

"Yeah, they used to be really close, like brothers. How did things turn out like this in the blink of an eye?"

The clansmen discussed it amongst themselves.

Lie looked at the two of them and asked in a deep voice, "Chen, Xiao, tell me, why are you fighting!"

Xiao glared at Shen and snorted, "He hit me first."

"Shen?" Lie frowned and looked at Shen.

Shen's clenched fists cracked as he glared furiously at Xiao: "Yes! I hit you first! You deserved to be hit!"

"I already said it was a misunderstanding! Besides, what does this have to do with you! Why do you need to stick your neck out here?" Xiao said through gritted teeth, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth where he had been punched.

"Misunderstanding my ass! You're still trying to deny it! I'll beat you to death!" Shen struggled angrily, about to strike again, but Xuan held him firmly, frowning and advising, "Shen, calm down!"

"Salt is no good at all! You've all been fooled by him!"

Chen shouted loudly to the crowd.

Xiao retorted angrily, "Don't talk nonsense! You're the one who's hiding something!"

Everyone was completely baffled.

Lie's face darkened, and he shouted, "Alright! After all this talk, you still haven't explained what's going on."

"Chen, you started it. Tell me. Why did you hit him?"

All eyes were on Shen's face.

He lowered his head, clenched his fists, and seemed somewhat hesitant.

After a long silence, he finally mustered the courage to say angrily, "He stalked Yao and spied on her while she was taking a bath!"

Before everyone could process the news, Xiao loudly retorted:
"I didn't peek!"

"You're still trying to deny it! I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake?" Shen roared angrily, "Why were you following Yao all this time? What else could it be but ulterior motives?"

Xiao's face flushed red with anger, and his eyes darted quickly to Yao in the crowd.

Everyone else looked at Yao as well.

Ling Yu stood beside Yao, looking at her curiously, wondering what was going on.
Yao blushed and lowered her head, not daring to meet other people's gazes.

"I, I just, I just..." Xiao clenched his fist, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"Just what? Tell me, or are you just stalling for time because you can't come up with an excuse!" Shen said angrily.

"Now that all the clansmen are here, I'd like to see how you can still try to deny it!"

Everyone looked at Xiao, their eyes filled with suspicion.

Seeing her brother being suspected, Ah Ying felt bad and couldn't help but defend him:
"My brother isn't a bad person! He wouldn't do anything bad!"

"You should be able to tell from your interactions with him that my brother is a very nice person..."

Ah Feng also said pitifully, "Brother Chen, my Uncle Xiao isn't a bad person..."

Seeing the two females like this, Shen's tone softened a bit.

“I believe you are good people, but if you don’t explain why, then you are bad people who have designs on females.”

With everyone watching, Nitrate finally couldn't take it anymore.

He clenched his fist and whispered, "I, I, I found a beautiful piece of jade in the forest and wanted to give it to Yao."

"I didn't know she was going to take a shower, so I followed her, hoping to drop her off somewhere where no one was around."

"But when I got there, I saw her taking a shower."

"I was about to leave when Shen happened to see me..."

To prove it, Xiao pulled out a crystal-clear jade stone from his clothes, and his face turned completely red.

"You gave her the jade, so you..."

Shen stared at Xiao in astonishment, his eyes filled with a complex and unpleasant expression. "Why didn't you answer when I asked you earlier?"

Xiao glanced at the stares of the crowd, his face flushed, and he whispered:
"I don't want anyone to know that I gave Yao jade."

"I'm afraid of her; she'll be unhappy."

In an instant, everyone realized that Xiao liked Yao.

Yao blushed and didn't dare to look up.

Lie looked at Chen suspiciously: "Chen, what were you doing there? Did you just happen to run into them?"

"Exactly, neither Shen nor Yao pursued the matter, so why are you so angry?"

"You wouldn't happen to like Yao too, would you?"

The tribespeople looked at Shen with curiosity.

Shen's face flushed red, and he was eager to retort, but when his gaze fell on Yao in the crowd, he gritted his teeth and shouted:
"Yes! I like Yao!"

"Today I wanted to find Yao to express my love and ask her if she was willing to form a bond with me, but I ran into Xiao peeking at me and mistakenly thought he wanted to bully Yao, so..."

For a time, the initially heated argument gradually took a subtle turn.

Shen glanced nervously at Yao. Ever since they were in the Misty Forest, he had been deeply attracted to Yao; she was gentle, kind, and considerate, and often took care of them, the males.

He couldn't say anything while he was on his way to his new home.

Now that he has arrived in his new home and everything is going in a positive direction, he has finally mustered up the courage to speak out.

However, it was discovered that nitrate...

With the misunderstanding cleared up, he should have breathed a sigh of relief, but upon learning that Xiao wanted to give Yao the jade stone, he became even more agitated.

Does that mean that Xiao also has feelings for Yao?

No!

He met Yao first, and he absolutely cannot let Xiao take her away.

"Xiao, I'm warning you, Yao is mine! Forget about it!"

He stared intently at the nitrous oxide before him and spoke forcefully.

Xiao was also angered and retorted, "Why is Yao yours? Who are you? Yao hasn't agreed to your contract yet, has she?"

"You!" Chen was furious and about to make a move.

"I will absolutely not give Yao to you!"

Nitrogen was determined to meet them head-on, refusing to admit defeat.

The two were about to fight when Lie frowned and coldly shouted, "Enough! Haven't you had enough?"

In the eyes of the tribe, Lie always maintained order with great dignity and fairness.

Along the way, whenever there was a dispute...

Everyone would assume that they would seek Lie's judgment, which was similar to his time in the Jin tribe. He possessed a strong and authoritative aura.

It makes people believe it without them even realizing it.

Wei also possesses a convincing aura, but the two are different. Being with Wei is more like a gentle breeze. He takes care of everything, is gentle yet tactful, and everything is well-organized, leaving no room for criticism.

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

Both Xiao and Chen suppressed their anger and calmed down.

"Both of you love Yao, but this is not something that can be resolved by your fighting. You must respect Yao's choice."

"It is a woman's freedom to choose whom she chooses to form a bond with."

"Did you show any respect for females when you were arguing like that?"

He questioned in a stern voice, his already serious face now even more imposing.

Nitrate and sediment both fell silent.

After a moment, the two looked at each other.

"sorry."

The apology he offered at the same time immediately extinguished the conflict between the two.

Ling Yu stood in the crowd looking at Lie with admiration in her eyes.

Even she was greatly shocked when Lie was able to say such respectful things about females.
