Leisurely Life in the Beast World - Chapter 181

“What’s going on? Does it have something to do with the Green Mountain Tribe?” Ji Nuan asked, puzzled. She couldn’t think of anything else that could be causing trouble in the tribe at the moment.

Ge Tai looked a little uncomfortable, while Tu Yaoyao swallowed the dried fruit in her mouth and immediately grabbed Ji Nuan’s arm. “Ji Nuan, you won’t believe this! Today, the beasts from the Green Mountain Tribe went to speak with Uncle Ge Xing. They said they wanted the Watson Tribe’s protection!”

Ji Nuan nodded. “I know about that. I even ran into Chief Sa Ka’er’s two cubs and Sa Duo’er’s mate earlier at grandmother’s place.”

Tu Yaoyao’s jaw dropped in surprise. “You’ve already met Sa Duo’er and Sa Miu’er? Then you must know everything!”

Ji Nuan shook her head. “I met them, but they didn’t tell me anything. What do you mean by ‘everything’? What’s going on?”

Tu Yaoyao’s lips puckered into a pout, her round eyes filled with frustration. “That Chief Sa Ka’er dared to tell Uncle Ge Xing that he wanted Ge Tai to become Sa Duo’er’s mate. And not just any mate—her first mate! But here’s the craziest part, I heard from the tribe that she already has four mates!”

Ji Nuan’s mouth fell open into a perfect “O.” Imagining Sa Duo’er’s slender frame, she couldn’t help but shudder. “That female is way too bold!”

The little rabbit’s cheeks puffed out in anger. “Exactly! But you should’ve seen her face when she looked at Ge Tai—she looked so…” Tu Yaoyao’s voice dropped to a whisper, “pervy!”

“Yaoyao!” Ge Tai called out in embarrassment, his voice low as if trying to salvage some dignity.

Ji Nuan couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty, shrinking her neck slightly. The term “pervy” had come from her. During their journey back from the trading assembly, Ji Nuan had used it to describe how Lu Te stared at her, and it seemed Tu Yaoyao had remembered it all too well.

She patted Tu Yaoyao’s shoulder comfortingly. “Don’t worry. Uncle Ge Xing won’t let Ge Tai be forced into becoming Sa Duo’er’s mate. You have to trust him.”

Ge Tai hesitated, his lips moving as if to say something, before finally speaking. “The problem is… my mother really likes that whimpering female.”

Ji Nuan looked at him in confusion. “Whimpering female?”

Ge Tai nodded seriously. “Yeah. That female talks while constantly wringing her hands, swaying her body like she’s ill. She hums and haws before every word, like she’s trying to drive beasts crazy.”

(A cultured beast indeed! You’re describing someone who’s coy and overly affected, right?)

Ji Nuan burst out laughing, almost spitting out the dried fruit in her mouth. The vivid description was so spot-on that she couldn’t help but give Ge Tai a thumbs-up.

“Nai Ma probably doesn’t know about Sa Ka’er and the Green Mountain Tribe’s dealings with the Tumang Tribe. Once she finds out, do you think she’d still agree to this?”

Ge Tai’s eyes lit up. “You’re right! Even though my mother scolds and beats me and my father all the time, she really does love us. If she learns what Chief Sa Ka’er did, she definitely won’t let me become Sa Duo’er’s mate.”

(Kid, do you realize how casually you just exposed your family’s power dynamics?)

Tu Yaoyao also perked up, happily grabbing some of Ge Tai’s dried fruit and stuffing it into her mouth. Her puffed cheeks made her look even more adorable!
