"Xin Yue is joking. It's a consensus among beastmen that offspring born from intermarriage will inherit the bloodline of the one with the higher bloodline. Your Gale Wolf bloodline is higher than that of the Golden Lion, and my clan accepted that at the time. The offspring you gave birth to is only of the Gale Wolf bloodline. Our two clans jointly control Gale Ridge. The fact that you and Wuya have feelings for each other is a good thing that strengthens the relationship between our two clans."

The implication is that our Golden Lion Clan offered the marriage of our young clan leader, and we accepted that all his children would be Gale Wolves, which we felt was unfair.

As for Jin Changyuan's bloodline, it was the original owner who forcibly reversed it with forbidden drugs in order to please her love. Jin Wuyai and the Golden Lion Clan were not innocent in this matter. They lured and bewitched the original owner to take that drug. Of course, the main responsibility still lies with the original owner. She herself did not want to take it, and no one dared to force her.

"There's no point in dwelling on the past. I'll bear the consequences of my own actions. Clan Chief Jin, there's no need to cling to this emotional card. Tell me about your other cards." Bai Xinyue coldly defined that marriage.

Perhaps Jin Wuyai was clever; he knew that even if he didn't die in Silent City, he wouldn't live much longer. For both the Golden Lion Clan and Jin Changyuan, a dead Jin Wuyai was more valuable than a living one.

He chose to perish together with Manlu, thus leaving himself a good reputation after death.

"Xin Yue, since our two clans will still live together in Gale Ridge, the marriage alliance can continue. Feel free to mention any man from my clan that you fancy."

The Bai chieftain slammed his fist on the table in anger: "Bullshit! You bunch of stinking lions, you really dare to dream? Back then, none of you were good enough for Xinyue, and now, even if your entire clan were tied together, you wouldn't be worthy of a single finger of hers!"

"Chief Bai, don't be in such a hurry." Chief Jin smiled easily: "Back when our Golden Lion Clan settled in Gale Ridge, our ancestors had an agreement that intermarriage between the two clans was the rule."

"Rules?" Bai Xinyue asked. There was indeed such a rule, but it had always been common clansmen who directly married, and the original owner was the one with the highest status.

"Clan Chief Jin, I'm not one for long-winded talk. Let's just make things clear from the start, so that my rules will be the only rules that matter in Gale Ridge from now on!"

The Golden Lion Clan members were taken aback by her sudden increase in aura. The Golden Clan Chief subconsciously looked at the White Clan Chief and the High Priest who had just entered.

The Bai chieftain raised his chin, his face full of pride, as if to say: Look, this is my granddaughter, isn't she amazing?

The high priest was more restrained than him, but his eyes were full of satisfaction.

"The ancestral agreement is not to prevent intermarriage among clansmen, but it does not say that the clan chief's lineage must engage in marriage." Bai Xinyue tactfully settled the matter.

"That,"

"The Golden Lion Clan may continue to live in Gale Ridge, but all matters must be reported to the Gale Wolf Clan."

"You want to take over the Golden Lion Clan?" The Golden Clan Chief narrowed his eyes, and his aura as a clan leader suddenly surged forth, making the air in the entire front hall thicken.

Bai Xinyue became interested, a smile tugging at the corner of her lips as she stared directly at him. A dozen breaths later, the Jin clan chief's face paled, and he gripped the armrest, suppressing the metallic taste in his throat.

That's an insurmountable gap!

The power of pure-blooded orcs!

At this moment, Bai Yan and Jin Wuxin appeared in the front hall. Bai Xinyue's imposing aura subsided, and the smile on her face changed from faint to a genuine smile.

"Brother, you're here. Please sit down. How have you been feeling these past few days?"

"It's very good. The medicine prescribed by Wu Si is excellent. I feel much better these past few days," Bai Yan replied with a gentle smile.

"That's good. Don't worry about it. Just focus on having fun and being happy every day. I'm sure I can cure you."

"Okay, I'm very happy now." Bai Yan said to his sister after glancing at Jin Wuxin who had sat down.

Bai Shanqing not only came by himself, but also brought his pregnant wife and Bai Cheng.

Bai Cheng looked indignant and arrogant. Bai Shanqing carefully supported his young wife. The young Mrs. Bai first glanced around at the people in the hall, a smug look flashing across her eyes, before she immediately switched to a look of fear and trepidation.

"My husband is worried about me. I apologize for disturbing everyone." Her voice was soft and sweet, with just the right amount of shyness. As she spoke, she carefully glanced at Bai Cheng.

Bai Cheng's face paled even more, his chest heaving violently, and he opened his mouth to speak.

"Bai Cheng!" Bai Yan called out his name.

"What? Can't I speak?" Bai Cheng's tone was aggressive.

Bai Xinyue, who had been watching the scheming woman's performance with great interest, frowned and said, "Bai Cheng, wasn't the lesson from last time enough?"

Bai Cheng choked, fear flashing in his eyes. He swallowed hard, forcing himself to shout, "I...you...I'm your brother too! Why are you only nice to our eldest brother?"

"Do I need your approval to be nice to whomever I want?"

"no,"

"Alright, you can deal with your little tantrums later. Don't embarrass yourself in front of outsiders. Stand behind your older brother."

Although Bai Cheng's mother led the original bishop astray, Bai Cheng himself is not fundamentally wrong. Bai Xinyue doesn't like him and won't put on a show of brotherly discord in front of outsiders. If she wants to teach him a lesson, there are plenty of ways to do so.

"On what grounds?"

"Um?"

Bai Cheng felt a chill run down his spine at the sound of the voice. He instinctively moved to stand behind Bai Yan, trying his best to hide his muscular body behind Bai Yan's thin frame.

Bai Shanqing's wife's eyes lit up: "Oh dear, Cheng'er really listens to Xinyue."

"Quiet!" Chief Bai glanced coldly at the couple.

Bai Shanqing straightened his back instantly.

"Clan Chief Jin, please excuse my rudeness. There are always a few ignorant children in the family. Is there anything else? Please continue."

Chief Jin composed himself and said, "Since Xinyue has said she doesn't want a marriage alliance, then our Golden Lion Clan will develop the iron mine together. After all, that mountain originally belonged to us and is close to our old clan territory."

"No way," Bai Xinyue refused outright.

"Don't be so quick to refuse. Our two races have been getting along well for so many years, there are many things we can talk about," the Golden Lion Clan priest said, trying to smooth things over.

"Since Chief Jin is so insistent on this marriage alliance," Bai Xinyue's tone softened, and just as they all looked over, she turned her gaze away, "My father, with his superior bloodline, hasn't taken a concubine yet. Why don't you, the Golden Lion Clan, select one and send her over?"

"What?"

"No!"

Surprised was Chief Jin, and it was Bai Shanqing's beloved wife who said no, but no one took her words seriously.

"Clan Chief Jin is not satisfied? Well, my father is getting old after all. Then," Bai Xinyue paused, "Jin Wuxin and my elder brother, isn't that a perfect match? The beast clan has always had this tradition. This is exactly what Clan Chief Jin wanted, a marriage alliance within the clan chief's lineage."

The Bai chieftain and the high priest's lips twitched a few times, but they didn't say anything.

"Bai Yan," the Jin clan chief began hesitantly, a hint of disdain in his voice.

Snapped!

Bai Xinyue placed her cup on the table, her tone cold: "Clan Chief Jin, watch your words. Is my elder brother not worthy of an ordinary beastman from your Golden Lion Clan?"

"I did not mean that,"
