Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 126

At this moment, Lian looked more haggard than he had two years ago. Wu Xiaoyin looked at Lian’s pale face and visibly thinner frame and asked, “Why are you here? Is there something wrong?”

Lian looked unwaveringly at Lei Lu, wearing a pitiful expression, hoping to evoke Lei Lu’s sympathy. He fluttered his eyelashes and lowered his head. Wu Xiaoyin felt goosebumps on his body and thought, he’s still a man, he should have some backbone!

All Wu Xiaoyin heard Lian say was, “Lei Lu, do you know that my father… and my dad…”

Wu Xiaoyin saw that Lian was only speaking half of the sentence, leaving everyone guessing and not knowing the exact meaning. Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Kai jumped in. “Hey, hey, hey. Who are you crying for? There’s no shoulder here for you to lean on!”

Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, tears began to fall down Lian’s cheeks. What a talent!

Lian gently wiped the tears from his face and said timidly, “I didn’t mean to cry. My father passed away last harvest season, and my dad couldn’t handle the blow and followed him. Every time I think of them, it makes me sad, so…”

Not wanting to bring up parents, though there isn’t a specific phrase for it in the Beastman Continent, Xiao Kai’s kind heart held back the words he wanted to say, even though he knew Lian was just using his father’s name to draw Lei Lu’s attention.

Wu Xiaoyin noticed Xiao Kai’s awkward expression and Kos’s confused look, and he tried to ease the tension. “Now that we know about this, there’s nothing we can do. This is an internal matter for your tribe, we can’t interfere.”

Lian still ignored Wu Xiaoyin, his gaze fixed on Lei Lu. Lei Lu was growing a bit impatient with Lian’s stare and replied bluntly, “What Xiao Xiao means is what I mean.”

Lian looked hurt. Just then, Li came over with Ah Lu. Seeing Lian’s state, Ah Lu understood what had happened and said, “Lian, this isn’t a small matter. We really can’t do anything. We can only wait for the decision of the tribe chiefs.”

Seeing that all the attention of tribe members from other tribes was on the Giant Tiger Tribe camp, Wu Xiaoyin thought it was best to resolve this matter quickly to avoid being dragged in by Lian, especially since he wanted to steer clear of Lin, the black-hearted fox. “You know we can’t do anything about this matter. You’re just looking for a strong support, hoping to leave the Giant Fox Tribe. But you can find anyone else, just not Lei Lu. You should go. There are plenty of good males waiting for you to choose from!”

With that said, even Lian’s thick skin was rattled by Wu Xiaoyin’s bluntness. His thoughts were revealed to everyone. Lian looked around at the beastmen’s odd gazes and then noticed Lei Lu’s unwavering attention on the female named Wu Xiaoyin. He gritted his teeth and ran off.

Xiao Kai looked at Wu Xiaoyin with admiration and said, “Xiao Xiao, you’re amazing. Lian usually acts all weak, but this time, he couldn’t put on a show! Hmph!”

Ah Lu on the side chimed in, “Yes, yes, Xiao Xiao is so impressive!”

Thus, these two silly females became lifelong friends because of this “common enemy”.

Wu Xiaoyin turned to Li and Ah Lu and asked, “What brings you here?”

Li shrugged and replied, “I originally wanted to come and tell you that this year’s animal meat is ready. But more importantly, it’s about the Giant Snake Tribe and the Giant Fox Tribe. Since you already know, we’ll get back to our work now. We’ll take our leave first.”

Wu Xiaoyin watched Li dragging Ah Lu, who was chattering with Xiao Kai, away. The two females acted as if they were parting for life. Li and Kos were the villains in this scenario. Wu Xiaoyin couldn’t help but smile.

Lei Lu, who had been watching Xiao Xiao, noticed him smiling at other males. As Xiao Xiao’s male, he couldn’t stand it and immediately turned Xiao Xiao’s head so that he only had eyes for him.

Wu Xiaoyin was a bit speechless and patted Lei Lu’s head. He said, “I was just amused by Xiao Kai and Ah Lu. Don’t think too much into it.”

Lei Lu said righteously, “I’m not thinking too much. Right now, Xiao Xiao should rest.”

Wu Xiaoyin looked at the bright sky and wanted to argue, but before he could speak, Lei Lu interrupted. “After flying around all day, you must be tired. It’s time to rest.”

Wu Xiaoyin internally grumbled that he wasn’t the one responsible for the journey. He was just being led along, so how could he be that tired?

However, Wu Xiaoyin’s inner thoughts couldn’t be heard by Lei Lu. By the time Xiao Kai and Ah Lu were forced to part and wanted to find Xiao Xiao to complain, they discovered that he was nowhere to be found. Xiao Kai thought of Bin who was occupied with Kola, Lei Lu who had taken Xiao Xiao away, and Ah Lu who had been pulled away by Li. Looking at Kos, who seemed as stupid as a giant rabbit, Xiao Kai felt frustrated and unable to find anyone to vent to. He stormed off with Kos chasing after him.

The first day of exchange officially began!
