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

Chapter 90 Entering the Misty Forest
Ling Yu's mind was in turmoil. Countless questions flooded her mind, and she was forced to accept the fact that her father had died.

Whether it was due to the original owner of the body or not, countless moments of her past interactions with her father flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern.

When she was learning to walk as a child, her father stood in front of her with a smile and said lovingly, "Yu, come to your father."

When she grew taller, her father marked the top of her head on a big tree, patted her head, and said with a smile, "You've grown taller again."

All of this felt so real, as if she had experienced it herself.

In a daze, she seemed to see the gentle woman beside her father.

The face was incredibly blurry, yet it felt strangely familiar, as if I'd seen it somewhere before, yet it also felt completely foreign...

"Words! Words!"

Unbeknownst to her, she vaguely heard Lie calling her anxiously. Then, she was plunged into complete darkness and lost consciousness.

When I woke up again, it was already daylight.

Ling Yu opened her eyes. Li was standing beside her, and said with delight, "Yu, you're finally awake! That's wonderful!"

She propped herself up and asked in confusion, "What happened?"

"Sister Yu, you fainted last night." Qiu handed her some water.

After drinking some water, Ling Yu remembered what happened last night and quickly stood up: "Where is Father?"

“Over there.” Pear pointed in the direction ahead, where several males were digging a pit, and her father’s body lay on the ground next to them.

"Yu, don't be sad anymore, don't hurt yourself," she comforted softly.

Everyone was saddened by the passing of the clan leader, but no one wanted to show it too obviously in front of Yu, for fear of making her even more heartbroken.

A wave of sadness washed over Ling Yu. She took a deep breath and nodded. So many of her people had come to this point because of her.

She must shoulder the responsibility.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." By the time she walked over, the pit had already been dug.

Lie looked at her, his deep eyes revealing worry: "To prevent wild beasts from smelling the scent and coming over, we need to bury the chieftain."

Ling Yu nodded, her eyes still red.

She knelt down and looked deeply at her father again, as if engraving his image in her heart. After a long while, she whispered, "Bury him."

Next, the whistle and several males carried the violet to the pit and began to fill it with soil.

As Ling Yu watched, tears welled up in her eyes again. She forced herself to suppress her emotions, turned her face away, and dared not look any longer.

Lie walked up to her, pulled her into his arms, and let her press against his chest to vent her inner pain.

He didn't say anything, he just stayed quietly by his side.

After a long while, Ling Yu finally recovered and looked at him hoarsely, saying, "Thank you."

Lie ruffled her hair: "Eat something, we're going into the Misty Forest soon."

"Ah."

Lingyu erected a stone tablet in front of her father's grave, inscribed with the words "Father's Grave," before going over to eat with everyone.

At this moment, she suddenly noticed that Shen was also there. If Shen hadn't rushed over to deliver the message last night, they wouldn't have had a chance to prepare for the battle, and they would definitely have been caught off guard by the people sent by Jiang.

Moreover, Shen saved her life from the white eagle's clutches.

However, sitting quietly among the crowd, he looked somewhat reserved and out of place.

Ling Yu thought for a moment, then stepped forward and asked, "Chen, you went against Jiang to help us, so you can't go back to the tribe. We need to cross the Misty Forest to find a new place to settle on another continent."

"Would you like to come with us? Or do you have other plans?"

Everyone shared this sentiment, since Shen had helped them defend against the enemy yesterday and had become a thorn in Jiang's side; going back would mean certain death.

Shen looked at Ling Yu with a complicated expression and said, "I threw a torch at you and said such hurtful things to you back then, and you were still willing to take me in?"

"Chen, you've saved my life twice, why wouldn't I want to?" Ling Yu said earnestly, "With you joining us, our safety as we enter the Misty Forest will be greatly enhanced. I just don't know if you're willing?"

“I’m willing!” Shen said without hesitation, “Following you is much better than following Jiang.” “Perhaps you don’t know, but after you left, Jiang started to divide the tribe into ranks, and his confidants enjoy higher treatment in the tribe.”

“Those of us who used to be close to Chief Jin were required to go hunting. The meat they brought back was distributed among them first, and the rest was given to us. If we failed to hunt, we would be punished.”

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but frown.

Ling Yu sneered inwardly. Such a small tribe, and they've already started practicing autocracy? She thought that leaving Jiang Liu as a 'bomb' would make him quickly lose the support of the people and get his comeuppance, but she didn't expect that he would be so impatient and court his own doom.
Jiang thought that by driving them away, he would be the ruler of the tribe. Little did he know that as a leader, he bore far greater responsibilities than just power.

"He's gone too far, everyone must be unhappy!" the whistle asked angrily.

Shen gave a bitter laugh: "What's the use of not wanting to? There are more people who listen to him, and those who don't will be beaten, starved, or expelled from the tribe."

"What?!" The whistle and the two males stared wide-eyed in anger. "Hasn't our tribe always followed the rule of friendly sharing? How could he do this?"

They couldn't help but exchange glances, thankful that they hadn't stayed in the tribe.

Here, although the future is uncertain, everyone lives in harmony, cares for each other, and is not afraid of death; while living in the tribe, being oppressed by people like Jiang, one lives in fear and suffering.

"Chen, do all of Jiang's subordinates agree with what he's doing?" Ling Yu asked tentatively, inadvertently exchanging a glance with Liu.

Liu smiled, a knowing look on her face. Only he knew what she wanted to ask.

Shen shook his head and said somewhat incredulously, "No, it's not that. Fu, one of his men, spoke up for everyone. But it's quite strange. Fu used to be completely obedient to Jiang, but yesterday, Fu kept contradicting him."

Ling Yu nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this answer.

When two forces are vying for power, they both need to win the hearts and minds of the people. Whoever treats their people well will gain more support, and the beneficiaries will be their own people.

This is just the beginning; later, Jiang and Fu will have an open confrontation.

At that time, Jiang's fate will be even worse.

"Let's not think about that anymore. We should get going."

She noticed it was getting late and knew she needed to hurry on her way.

Li accompanied her on the way today. It was obvious that the beastmen had chosen him, and everyone had tacitly agreed.

Ling Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully this chaotic scene didn't happen every day.

Upon entering the Misty Forest, everyone noticed that the trees and plants here were much taller, and the howls of wild beasts could be heard from time to time in the distance.

"Everyone, don't get separated, stay with us."

Lingyu followed the relatively safe path on the map. There were no swamps here, just trees and bushes.

Wild rabbits would occasionally pass by, and the males wouldn't be idle either, catching some small animals and throwing them into bamboo baskets.

"I thought the Misty Forest would be terrifying, but it's not so bad after all," Pear said with a smile as she walked and looked around.

Ling Yu smiled and said, "We still need to be careful."

This is just the outer perimeter, so it's not that scary. Going deeper in is much more dangerous.

They arrived at a small riverbank at noon.

Let's take a break and wash off the bloodstains we had on us last night, otherwise we'll smell worse as we walk.

To avoid getting scattered and ensure safety, the males went into the river to wash first.

After washing, Lingyu, Li, and Qiu went back into the river to clean themselves thoroughly. They were exhausted from walking for the past two days, and the water seemed to wash away their fatigue and make them feel relaxed.

Lingyu also took out shampoo from her backpack and applied some to Li and Qiu's hair.

"Huh? Yu, what's this?" Pear asked in surprise.

Qiu touched her hair, got some shampoo on her hands, smelled it, and said, "It smells so good." She then stuck out her tongue to lick it.

Ling Yu quickly grabbed her and said with a smile, "It's shampoo. You rub it on your hair to make lather, then wash it in water and your hair will be clean."

"Is this something from your world? It's amazing."

Pear and Autumn were excitedly lathering their hair.

The three of them had just finished washing their hair and were almost done with their clothes when, as they were about to get ashore, Pear suddenly screamed, pointing tremblingly at the bushes on the opposite bank of the river, "There...there are people over there!!"
