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

Chapter 162 Return Gift? Awkwardly Accepting It

Xiang instinctively wanted to take another bite, but when she noticed the stares of everyone else, she blushed with embarrassment.

She stiffly put down her chopsticks, stubbornly saying:

“I’ve eaten better food than this, but I’ve never tasted anything like this mushroom and chicken stew.”

Ling Yu saw through her thoughts and smiled nonchalantly: "If you like it, you can eat more."

"Oh... thank you."

Xiang nodded sheepishly, deliberately avoiding the chicken stew with mushrooms that she really wanted to eat another bite of, and instead picked up the stir-fried eggs with scallions from another plate.

The moment you put the egg in your mouth.

She was so amazed by the deliciousness that her eyes widened again. How could eggs be cooked so well? It was fragrant and tender. She had never seen this so-called scallion before, but it tasted surprisingly good.

This time, she tried her best to control herself and quietly put a few more pieces of food into her bowl.

Her subordinates, however, were not as reserved as she was.

The five males hurriedly picked up the food, but they weren't used to using chopsticks and wished they could just grab it with their hands.

Seeing this, Ah Ying handed her a spoon.

"Use this," she said with a kind smile.

The males were immediately embarrassed. They were considered brave and skilled hunters in the tribe and were quite concerned about their reputation in front of the females.

I never expected to be so embarrassed this time.

Without a second thought, they quickly shoveled food into their bowls and began to wolf it down, talking as they ate:
"Delicious! So delicious! This is the best meal I've ever had."

Xiang couldn't help but secretly kick them under the table, giving these five men a look, trying to save face for her tribe.

As a result, these five people were kicked several times without even noticing.

They started eating like crazy.

Seeing this, the people of the Yu tribe did not compete with them and said proudly, "These are all taught to us by our Yu chief. It's normal that you haven't eaten them before."

"These dishes are much more delicious than ordinary food that is simply roasted over a campfire."

“We eat like this every day, and there are still many other dishes we haven’t made yet. If you like them, eat more.”

Everyone felt exceptionally happy, satisfied, and proud.

Even while eating, Xiang's subordinate couldn't help but ask, "How exactly is this dish made?"

The scout said generously, "See our big iron pot for cooking? Iron conducts heat faster than stone. We use rendered animal fat to stir-fry our dishes and add all sorts of seasonings."

"Oh dear, it's hard to explain to you."

"You should enjoy it."

Those five males weren't usually responsible for cooking, so they just listened in and didn't take it to heart.

There was only one thought in my mind: It's delicious!
Xiang glanced at Ling Yu without showing any emotion, thinking to herself: These dishes were all thought up by this female, she's quite impressive.

"Those strange houses in your tribe, the vegetable gardens, and the chicken and rabbit farms—were all ideas conceived by your chief?"

She looked at everyone and couldn't help but ask.

Everyone nodded: "That's right, our leader is incredibly powerful and knows everything."

For a moment, Xiang looked at Ling Yu with even greater shock.

No wonder this female can become the clan leader and be respected and loved by so many clansmen.

It turns out that everything in the tribe was thanks to her.

No wonder those six handsome beastmen liked her.

She took a deep breath and secretly noted down everything she saw in the Yu tribe, planning to go back and tell her brother if he could do the same.

I have to say, this place is much better than their tribe.

After the meal, Xiang and his five men ate until their bellies were round and their mouths were greasy, but they were completely satisfied.

Xiang could no longer feel any contempt for the tribe in front of her.

She looked at Ling Yu somewhat awkwardly and sincerely thanked her, "Thank you for your hospitality this morning. Yes, we underestimated your tribe. I hope you don't mind."

"Of course not, our tribes are neighbors, and we should help each other more in the future."

Ling Yu smiled and said that maintaining good relations with the surrounding neighbors is also good for the tribe itself, since there are other tribes outside of this tribe.

No one can guarantee that there won't be tribal conflicts in the future. "Aying, bring the things over here."

Xiang looked over with some confusion.

Ah Ying led three tribesmen away, and soon returned with five bamboo baskets, which were filled to the brim with many things.

Three smoked chickens, three roasted rabbits, a large piece of meat, a large jar of tea, and a large jar of honey...

Xiang looked at Ling Yu in surprise: "This...this is?"

"In return, since you brought gifts, I naturally can't let you go back empty-handed. These are some tokens of our tribe's goodwill."

Ling Yu spoke calmly and confidently.

Xiang stared blankly at the delicious food in the bamboo basket, all of which she had tasted that day, and the other party was actually willing to give it to her.

But the key point is, when I came here myself.

It was a condescending gesture, given to them out of a desire to help the poor and give alms, and now that they are returning the favor, she feels both ashamed and awkward.

I want it, but I can't bring myself to do it.

"No, no need. Our tribe has plenty of food, and we can handle these things too..."

Before he could finish speaking, his subordinates rushed forward, smiling broadly as they took the bamboo basket, and eagerly said:
"Yes! We want it!"

"It smells delicious! Our tribe would never make such delicious food. It would be impolite of us to refuse their offer."

"Hehe, thank you, Chief Yu. You are such a kind and generous chief. Your tribe will definitely get better and better."

The males carried the bamboo baskets on their backs and offered a few words of flattery.

Xiang bit her lip awkwardly, cursing inwardly at these five disgraceful people who showed no respect for their tribe.

But in the end, she didn't forcefully refuse.

Lingyu escorted them for a distance before her tribesmen led them out of the tribe's territory.

The remaining tribespeople stood there and began to discuss animatedly:
"That felt so good! I really got my revenge today!"

"When they first came to the tribe, they were so arrogant, as if our tribe had nothing to eat. They looked down on us and acted like they were giving us charity."

"As it turned out, they were the ones who had never seen anything before. They were incredibly surprised by anything from our tribe."

"Especially that female, she pretended to be indifferent, but she was actually already convinced, haha!"

Li couldn't help but complain to Ling Yu, "That Xiang keeps glancing at your six beast husbands while she's talking, her eyes are so... well, you know."

"They don't look like good people! We shouldn't have given them the gifts."

Yao nodded in agreement:
"Xiang Kanyu's gaze towards the beastmen was indeed a bit excessive."

"It's best to avoid dealing with them in the future."

She has a very keen eye for detail.

I noticed that the way the lovers looked at each other before was exactly like that—full of adoration, infatuation, and possessiveness.

However, he was clearly jealous of Ling Yu.

Ling Yu smiled without minding: "Our eyes are on her body. We can't control who she looks at. It's enough that the beastmen care about me."

Perhaps it was the beastmen who gave her enough confidence that prevented her from having wild thoughts.

After all, her six beastly husbands remained as passionate as ever every night.

She now increasingly agrees with the saying that if a relationship was originally good but later becomes increasingly insecure, it is likely that the other person has crossed boundaries and failed to provide enough security.

If that's the case, it's better to let go of a relationship you can't hold onto.

Each returned to its original position.

Li and Yao thought about it and agreed, nodding, "That's true. Your beast husband is deeply devoted to you and loves you to the core. It's impossible for him to like someone else. No matter how you look at Xiang, he's just being delusional."

Ling Yu smiled and nodded.

When she looked up unintentionally, she saw Liu's lips slightly curved, his gaze fixed on her intently, as if he wanted to devour her.

These past few days, Liu has been watching her from afar.

His eyes were filled with possessiveness and desire, especially his sharp, deep snake eyes, which gave off a sense of tension as if he were being stared at by a wild beast.

She blushed involuntarily.

Counting it up, there are only two days left until Liu's wedding, no wonder he's been staring at her so much lately.
