Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 127

The first day of the exchange event mainly involved exchanges between tribes. It was originally just a simple barter system, but the Giant Tiger Tribe found itself surrounded by others eager to trade for pottery. Word had spread about the benefits of the pottery, so tribes rushed to exchange for items. Pottery jars and pottery vats could hold water and store food, and pottery pots could be used to cook soups and meats. The emergence and improvement of these tools were very important to the entire Beastman Continent.

They originally expected to finish trading the pottery quickly and let the tribemen from the surrounding tribes disperse early. However, the arrival of Lin and Ken stirred things up. They claimed that they were here to return the prey they had borrowed last year, but this was a simple matter that could have been handled by the members of the Giant Fox and Giant Snake Tribes. The presence of the tribe leaders added an ambiguous layer to the situation.

Chief Kun said to Lin and Ken directly, “If you’re only here to return prey, we’ve already received it. If there’s nothing else, you can leave. We still need to trade pottery and other items, can’t you see how crowded it is?”

Lin was holding back the angry Ken. He smiled at Kun and said, “Giant Tiger Chief, we’re not just here to return prey. We also want to propose an alliance with you!”

Kun asked with doubts, “What do you mean? What kind of alliance do you want?”

Lin pulled out Lian, who had been hiding in the crowd, and said, “This is our tribe’s Lian. He has always liked Lei Lu from your tribe, so I thought, since Lian likes him and even our tribe’s beastmen want to pursue Lian but can’t win his favor, I was wondering if we could let Lian join the Giant Tiger Tribe and pair with Lei Lu?”

Wu Xiaoyin watched Lian who appeared unstable, thinking that this situation was hard to salvage. Now all his escape routes were blocked. He glanced at the nearby members of the Giant Fox Tribe. He noticed that they were angry but silent. Other than Lin being the chief, many were still picky and obsessed on finding the strongest mates. Just like Lian, he had ignored the beastmen from his own tribe. Now, Lin’s blatant declaration of Lian’s feelings for Lei Lu while rejecting his suitors from his own tribe made it difficult for Lian to pair up with other beastmen in the future.

The Beastman Continent was simple and direct, yet persistent and enduring. Beastmen believed that they could win over females, but only if the female wasn’t already devoted to another. Some affections lasted a lifetime, and even if other beastmen tried their hardest, it might yield no results. Thus, beastmen often didn’t set their sights on females who had someone in their hearts.

As for Lian’s previous admirers, it was because Lian did not show any clear affection towards any beastman. Even the past attempts to please Lei Lu were more of a test than genuine interest. Now, Wu Xiaoyin scanned the crowd. He saw the defeated expressions of beastmen who were either angry or heartbroken as they looked at Lian.

When Lei Lu heard this news concerning himself, he stood in front of Lin and Lian while holding Xiao Xiao. “He’s just a female. Even if he stays in the tribe, he poses no threat to you. Besides, how this plays out depends on the tribe chief. Your eagerness to solve potential problems is really embarrassing.”

“Most importantly, don’t involve me. Otherwise, the internal conflict of the Giant Fox Tribe could escalate into a problem between tribes, which I’m sure isn’t the result you wanted.”

After saying this, Lei Lu gave Lin a deep and threatening look that spoke volumes.

At this moment, Kun stepped in to mediate and said, “Alright, since you’re here to return prey, you can leave now. If you still want to trade pottery, you need to hurry. We’ve already traded with the Giant Bear Tribe, Giant Wolf Tribe, and Giant Lion Tribe, and the pottery is limited!”

Hearing the Giant Tiger Tribe chief’s words, everyone rushed to trade with the person who kept the pottery. They were eager not to miss out. Ken glanced at the departing Lin and the changed Lian. He swept his gaze over the crowd before leisurely leaving, seemingly unconcerned about his uncle Qi and brother Xin from the Giant Tiger Tribe.

Wu Xiaoyin thought that tonight’s bonfire gathering wouldn’t pass easily. Lian’s situation was part of it. After eating lunch in Lei Lu’s arms and taking a nap, the evening’s bonfire event would soon arrive.

The atmosphere among the crowd was mixed with joy and a hint of strangeness, especially when they accidentally caught sight of the Giant Fox Tribe and Giant Snake Tribe. Disdain and caution appeared in their eyes.

Wu Xiaoyin, Xiao Kai, Ah Lu, and Datta gathered around a bonfire, enjoying the warmth and ambiance of the night. Even the usually boisterous Xiao Kai and Ah Lu quietly savored honey-roasted meat and uniquely flavored braised giant tooth beast meat.

After discussions among the tribe chiefs of the Giant Tiger Tribe, Giant Lion Tribe, Giant Leopard Tribe, Giant Wolf Tribe, and Giant Bear Tribe, Lin and Ken faced challenges from their respective tribes’ beastmen, with life and death on the line.
