CHAPTER 97: CHAPTER 89 TAI SENG AND SILVER WOLF TRIBE_1

Si Yan and her companions were captured by the Silver Wolf Tribe beastmen. She Ying was bound like a tightly wrapped dumpling, while Dongchi, being younger, was tied more simply.

A Silver Wolf beastman unceremoniously prodded Si Yan. "As a female, why are you with these cruel and sinister snake beastmen?"

What’s wrong with snake beastmen? All four of my cubs are cold-blooded snake beastmen, each cuter and warmer than the last. What right do you have to insult them?

Si Yan replied unhappily, "Why should I tell you?"

Seeing her impudence, the Silver Wolf beastmen became even less courteous. One of them moved to strike her but was stopped by another Silver Wolf beastman.

"Young Master Yin Hong."

Yin Hong looked down. "She is not a snake beastman. She’s a female. Were you about to hit a female?"

The Silver Wolf beastman’s face flushed crimson instantly, and he stammered in shame, "I... I’m sorry."

Si Yan stood up and walked toward Yin Hong but was blocked by other Silver Wolf beastmen.

"What’s wrong with snake beastmen?" Si Yan asked.

The surrounding Silver Wolf beastmen let out a series of disdainful sneers.

"Even though you’re a female, you associate with snake beastmen. You’re probably no good either."

Si Yan flared up. "Such prejudice, making sweeping generalizations! Then I’ll say that not a single Silver Wolf beastman is good, and any beastman who associates with them is no good either!"

Hearing this, the Silver Wolf beastmen became even more enraged. "You! Our Silver Wolf Tribe is loyal and honest! How can you compare us to the sinister and brutal cold-blooded snake beastmen!"

Yin Hong, the Silver Wolf male, slowly sat down not far from Si Yan. "Female. Don’t you know?"

He pointed at Dongchi, Nan Mo, and She Ying. "Cold-blooded snake beastmen—their blood is cold. They are naturally selfish and indifferent, only doing things that benefit themselves. In the Beast World, even though a female can have many Beast Husbands, no female would willingly mate with a cold-blooded snake beastman. The females of snake beastmen are all snatched from other tribes!"

Si Yan: "..."

Yin Hong spoke with disdain and hatred, "No female likes cold-blooded snake beastmen. They cannot obtain a female’s favor, so they plunder females from other tribes. Three days ago, a precious female was stolen from our tribe by cold-blooded snake beastmen."

Females were exceedingly rare, the most important and precious resource of any tribe.

No tribe could tolerate such an incident.

Yin Hong continued, "Don’t you think this world will only be peaceful when all cold-blooded snake beastmen are gone? Therefore, all beastmen in the Beast World want to eradicate the cold-blooded snake beastmen to protect the world’s females. Is this wrong?"

Dongchi’s mouth twitched.

This prejudice... he had been subjected to it since birth. Snake beastmen were disliked; life for him and his three brothers had been incredibly hard. No dignity, no love. If Si Yan hadn’t been a female, and if the tribe hadn’t distributed food to females for free, his four brothers could hardly have survived. If it weren’t for their mother...

Dongchi slowly raised his head, looking at the most important female in his life.

Suddenly, Si Yan let out a cold laugh.

She said to Yin Hong, "Not all cold-blooded snake beastmen in this world are bad. By the same token, not all Silver Wolf beastmen are good."

Her four cubs were all so gentle, sensible, hardworking, and adorable. They were the best cubs in her heart. Yet even cubs like them were wrongfully framed and abused in the Yanxiang Tribe, despite having done nothing heinous.

Her mood soured.

Yin Hong raised his head, his silver eyes sweeping towards her. "Female, are you blind?"

A violent rage surged within Dongchi. His expression grew chillingly cold, looking terrifyingly fierce.

"Stupid dog, who are you talking to? Watch your mouth!"

A multitude of hateful gazes from the Silver Wolf beastmen shot towards them. Si Yan shielded Dongchi with half her body.

Dongchi looked at the figure protecting him and forcefully suppressed his rising temper.

He shot a chilling glare at the males.

Once he grew stronger, he wouldn’t allow any beastman to insult his mother. Whoever dared to insult his mother, he would rip out their tongue!

Si Yan, seeing the atmosphere suddenly tense, asked, "We haven’t seen the female of your tribe. This matter has nothing to do with us."

A Silver Wolf beastman’s eyes reddened. "The female who was taken is my sister! We tracked you three snake beastmen here. It must be related to you!"

They felt as if a huge pot had dropped on them from the sky—they were being utterly and unfairly framed.

All three cold-blooded snake beastmen were seething with anger.

She Ying, in particular, looked even more livid.

"Take them back to the tribe!" Yin Hong bellowed.

"ROAR! ROAR!" The Silver Wolves roared furiously.

Fortunately, this group of Silver Wolf beastmen only wanted to find their tribe’s female, not to take their lives.

They bound them, led them away, and starved them, but they didn’t intend to kill them.

After a long trek under the scorching sun, Si Yan felt dizzy from the exposure to the wind and heat.

Dongchi watched Si Yan, his face etched with worry.

"We have a female with us! We need to rest!" Dongchi shouted.

A Silver Wolf beastman glanced at Si Yan’s condition and, finding it troublesome, ran to Yin Hong to report, "Young Master Yin Hong, that female really looks like she can’t take it anymore."

Yin Hong glanced briefly at Si Yan. "Only snake beastmen would want such a dark and thin female. However, she’s endured longer than I expected."

Her physical stamina was almost comparable to a Green Crystal-rank beastman of their Silver Wolf Tribe. It was indeed impressive.

Yin Hong waved his hand. "Rest here."

The members of the Silver Wolf Tribe found shade to rest and fetched water from a nearby stream.

Dongchi called out anxiously, "My mother needs water! Give her water! Give her water!"

Yin Hong didn’t make things difficult for them. He used a leaf to scoop up water and had a beastman feed it to her.

Si Yan drank hastily, choking a few times, then said, "My children and my friend also need water."

Yin Hong said mockingly to Si Yan, "I gave you water because you’re a female. It won’t be so easy for those three cold-blooded snake beastmen if they want water."

Then, Si Yan watched as two Silver Wolf beastmen verbally humiliated Dongchi, Nan Mo, and She Ying before finally giving them a minuscule amount of water.

Si Yan’s spirits were low. She Ying sat resting quietly, while Dongchi found an opportunity to lean against Si Yan.

"Mother, don’t be angry," Dongchi said, seeing her displeased expression, knowing she was upset for them.

He whispered comfortingly, "The fact that they gave us water already makes them better than most beastmen."

With a pale face, She Ying said, "Madam, the Silver Wolf Tribe is more straightforward than other tribes. Being in their hands is much better than being captured by other tribes."

Although these Silver Wolves already seemed unfriendly, compared to other tribes, they were indeed considered decent. Moreover, other snake beastmen had recently abducted one of their females. Their current level of restraint was already quite remarkable.

Si Yan fell silent.

They still considered the Silver Wolf beastmen good despite such treatment. The plight of the snake beastmen was even worse than she had imagined.

「...」

Within the Silver Wolf Tribe, in a cave filled with restrictive seals, a young and handsome Silver Wolf beastman was being detained by his own kin.

"Young Master Tai Seng."

A circle of beastmen surrounded Tai Seng.

They appeared extremely respectful towards him, yet there was an underlying sense of coercion.

The young Silver Wolf beastman was furious. "I’ve told you countless times, I am from the Yanxiang Tribe! I want to return to my tribe! I’m already contracted! I have a Mistress! I have nothing to do with the Silver Wolf Tribe! My Mistress is still waiting for me! Let me go back!"

Facing Tai Seng was an elderly female, Yin Xiu, the witch of the Silver Wolf Tribe. "Young Master Tai Seng, you carry the bloodline of the former Clan Leader. You are the only beastman in our tribe to awaken a Special Ability in the last five hundred years. You are our Young Master."

Tai Seng was beside himself with anger. "I’ve said it a thousand times! I belong to the Yanxiang Tribe and have absolutely no connection to the Silver Wolf Tribe!"

After finding Nan Mo, he had unexpectedly clashed with the Silver Wolf Tribe. The beastmen from the tribe had kidnapped him after discovering his Special Ability. After being brought to the Silver Wolf Tribe, he was forcibly separated from Nan Mo. He was now the only adult male in Si Yan’s family. With him detained here, what would Si Yan and her four pups do?!

An old Silver Wolf beside Yin Xiu said disdainfully, "The Yanxiang Tribe is so weak. How can it possibly compare to our Silver Wolf Tribe?"

Yin Xiu’s staff thumped heavily on the ground as she declared decisively, "You are the grandson of the former Clan Leader. The noblest blood of the Silver Wolf Tribe flows within you, and you have awakened our tribe’s god-level Special Ability."

"How could you possibly have no relation to the Silver Wolf Tribe!"
