Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 124

Xin clutched the plum blossom in his hand as Feng carried him back to the tribe. Watching Feng’s figure fade into the distance, Xin glared at Le and said, “Your suggestions were useless. Lei Lu didn’t even glance at me when he saw I was hurt.”

Le looked at Xin, who was venting his frustration on him, and replied gently, “Isn’t it because we interrupted their hunting? You know how aggressive males can be during a hunt. Their instincts in animal form take over.”

“But Lei Lu didn’t even look at me. I’ve liked him for so many years, and now he’s completely captivated by that Xiao Xiao. I don’t even know what he did to make Lei Lu ignore all the other females,” Xin said angrily.

Le patted Xin’s shoulder reassuringly and said somewhat enticingly, “You still have a chance. You see, Xiao Xiao still has three harvest festivals before he reaches adulthood. Only after the third festival will Lei Lu have a chance to pair with Xiao Xiao…”

Caught by Xin’s glare, Le quickly swallowed his words and shifted the topic. “So you still have over two years. There’s plenty of time for Lei Lu to notice your good qualities.”

Xin said uncertainly, “But really? I’ve done everything I can to attract Lei Lu’s attention, but he doesn’t even have me in his eyes.”

Le pretended to be troubled and said, “Actually, there is a way. If Xiao Xiao were out of the picture, wouldn’t Lei Lu be able to see you?”

“Do you really think I’m that stupid? I may act impulsively, but I’m not completely without sense. Don’t think I don’t see what you’re up to!” Xin replied, looking at Le with disdain as his intentions became clearer.

Le became slightly panicked but quickly composed himself. He took a deep breath and said, “What are you talking about? I have no ulterior motives. I’m just trying to help you. This doesn’t benefit me at all, right?”

Seeing Le’s slight change in expression, Xin said, “I wasn’t sure before, but why are you so eager for me to attract Lei Lu’s attention? Logically speaking, I like Lei Lu, and my focus is on him. Even if Xiao Xiao were gone, if Lei Lu doesn’t like me, it wouldn’t matter. I dislike Xiao Xiao, but I can’t let my emotions get out of control. What’s your real intention in wanting me to get rid of Xiao Xiao?”

Le never expected that the usually spoiled Xin would see through his thoughts. After taking a deep breath, he replied, “What nonsense are you talking about? I have no agenda. There’s no benefit to me in this. If you won’t listen, then I have nothing more to say.”

With that, Le walked away in the direction of his home.

Xin squinted at Le as he walked away and spat, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. You can’t even hide your intentions properly!”

Days passed under the scorching sun. Eventually, Lei Lu found corn at its mature stage. However, its location was awkwardly situated between the Giant Tiger Tribe and the Giant Lion Tribe.

Both tribes originally regarded this grassland as a neutral zone. Now that this staple food was discovered, they had to sit down and negotiate. Since Datta from the Giant Lion Tribe and Lei Lu from the Giant Tiger Tribe were familiar with each other, they peacefully agreed to split the corn evenly, much to everyone’s delight!

While everyone busily prepared large quantities of giant rice, giant cabbage, giant potatoes, giant sweet potatoes, giant carrots, giant radishes, giant watermelons and other foods for long-term storage, they celebrated that this year’s harvest season wasn’t affected as last year’s had been. The Giant Tiger Tribe welcomed the Harvest Festival and Exchange Day.

For this year’s exchange day, thanks to Wu Xiaoyin’s shameless and charming attacks, Lei Lu slowly carried Xiao Xiao on his back and followed the tribe chief to the center of the continent.

After three days of “rollercoaster” rides, Wu Xiaoyin looked toward a nearby valley and noticed various types of beastmen gathered there, including lions, leopards, wolves, bears, snakes, and foxes. Everything was there except for tigers!

When Wu Xiaoyin was settled in Lei Lu’s arms, he was greeted by two familiar faces. Datta and his male Walker. Datta shared all his findings. “I think something suspicious is going on with the Giant Snake Tribe and the Giant Fox Tribe. Did you know that Ken from the Giant Snake Tribe and Lin from the Giant Fox Tribe actually killed their tribe’s previous chief to become the new tribe leaders?”

Wu Xiaoyin looked at the spirited Lin and Ken in the distance and asked, “Datta, how do you know they killed their own tribe chief?”

Lei Lu squinted, took a deep breath, and said, “It’s because their scent has changed.”

Wu Xiaoyin was even more confused, his eyes wide. “What? I don’t understand at all.”

Datta explained calmly, “It’s because their bloody scent has changed. Previously, beastmen had the blood scent of their prey, but now, if you smell them closely, you can detect the blood of beastmen on them.”

Wu Xiaoyin was surprised and asked, “Then how can they appear here so casually?”
