Leisurely Life in the Beast World - Chapter 309

Mo Na pursed her lips. “When I left this time, Father specifically told me not to cause trouble and not to look for new males again.”

The old beastman silently scoffed in his heart, expressing strong disdain for Mo Na’s behavior. Because of you, apart from a few other large tribes like ours, the Sera Tribe has nearly offended every tribe in the Lamu Mountain Range. And now you’re saying this with no shame?

He cast another glance at her, noting her large cave almost overflowing with male companions. If the chief kept letting her gather more males like this, she might as well start her own tribe—one with just a single female.

“Heh.” A warm male voice sounded, his tone serious as he addressed Mo Na. “Nana, Father is right. Back in the Lamu Mountain Range, no tribe dared provoke us. But now, we’re in an entirely unfamiliar mountain range. The tribes here have probably never even heard of the Sera Tribe. We have to be cautious.”

Mo Na pouted, clearly dismissing her elder brother’s advice. Mo Peisi, among all her brothers, was the most cowardly. If she had her way, she wouldn’t want this useless brother to become chief at all. She had only come along because staying in the tribe was too boring for her.

Seeing Mo Na’s indifference to his words, Mo Peisi could only look at his willful sister with helpless fondness. Yet, none noticed the cold mockery hidden deep in his eyes.

When Chief Ge Xing and his group returned with news of the large territory, the Watson Tribe erupted with excitement. They quickly built bonfires in the central clearing, grilling meat and celebrating with great enthusiasm.

Ji Nuan, in high spirits, sat by the fire and glanced toward Ge Xing, who was grilling meat for Nai Ma. She called out, “Uncle, I never realized you were this capable.”

As she spoke, she gave him a thumbs-up, her little face brimming with admiration.

Ge Xing, basking in the tribe’s endless praise, felt as though he was on the verge of flying with pride. “Of course! That silly bear, Xiong Dan, is no match for me, hahaha!”

Meanwhile, Xiu Yan had reverted to his small, chubby cub form and was sitting obediently on a clean piece of beast hide by Ji Nuan’s feet. He gnawed on a piece of fragrant roasted meat, but upon hearing Ge Xing’s boast, he rolled his eyes dramatically.

“Awwooo?” A soft, baby-like sound came from nearby, causing Xiu Yan to feel a sudden sense of dread. Stiffly, he turned his head, and sure enough…

Little cub Xiu Qi was staring at him with wide, innocent eyes, looking utterly adorable.

And staring intently at the roasted meat in his mouth.

Xiu Yan, in the fastest motion of his beast life, stuffed the remaining bit of meat into his belly, then calmly licked his paws. Glancing at the chubby cub still sitting nearby, he seemed to say, Why are you still here? What do you want? Don’t you have food at home?

(Heaven knows how I managed to translate so much from just those soft little wails. Beast Language Level 10 certification, totally deserved.)

But then, the once-cheerful little cub’s lips began to tremble in disappointment. His small ears drooped sadly to either side of his round head, and his tiny tail stopped wagging. Tears began to well up in his big, round eyes.

Xiu Yan, now utterly bewildered, yelped, “Awwooo!!!” Stop crying! Don’t let anyone see this—they’ll think I bullied you!
