Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 68

Seeing that his repeated attempts to charm Lei Lu were ignored, Lian became frustrated and decided he could no longer endure it. He turned around and left. Before leaving, he finally looked up at Wu Xiaoyin in Lei Lu’s arms, his eyes mixed with determination and disdain. It seemed that no matter what, he believed he would ultimately be the one to become Lei Lu’s female.

Lian walked away, followed by a large group of admirers.

Wu Xiaoyin, who was being carried by Lei Lu, observed how Lian held his head high. It was a stark contrast to his previous attitude around Lei Lu. He couldn’t help but marvel at Lian’s acting skills, which were truly unmatched in the beastman continent, surpassing even the level of Qi from the Giant Tiger Tribe!

Upon arriving at the place where herbs were stored in the Giant Fox Tribe, Lei Lu glanced around and pointed at several items he needed. He said to the beastman guarding the herbs, “We’ll take however many of these you have. Someone will come to exchange them with animal skins later.”

Under Lei Lu’s imposing presence, the fox beastman guard didn’t dare to cause any trouble. However, he had to obey team leader Lin’s orders, so he relayed Lin’s words to Lei Lu: “This year, the trading price for our herbs has risen to ten giant bull skins or twenty giant rabbit skins, or it can be five giant deer skins for a bag of herbs.”

Hearing this, Lei Lu replied, “Have Lin come over, I think we need to talk.”

Sensing Lei Lu’s rising intensity, the beastman quickly ran to Lin’s tent. Soon, Lin appeared before Lei Lu, a smirk on his face as he asked, “What’s the matter? Is there a problem with the herb trade?”

Lei Lu looked at Lin and said, “Why has the price of the herbs increased so much? Last year, it was only six giant bull skins for a bag of herbs, right?”

With a smile, Lin responded to his words, “That’s because harvesting herbs is more difficult this year. When the harvest season began, prey damaged many of the herbs in our usual picking area, so the quantity has decreased. Naturally, this raises the number of animal skins required for exchange.”

Wu Xiaoyin listened to Lin and couldn’t help but think that the Giant Fox Tribe people were quite cunning. The white lotus had just mentioned that this year’s herb harvest seemed abundant, how was it now that Lin was saying there was a shortage?

So Wu Xiaoyin spoke up, “But the previous female didn’t say it that way.” Then he pointed to the distance where the white lotus was and continued, “I heard that your herbs this year are actually in greater quantity than last year.”

Seeing where Wu Xiaoyin was pointing, Lin realized that Lian had likely shared the specifics about the herbs with Wu Xiaoyin and his group. After all, Lin knew that since Lian saw Lei Lu three years ago on Exchange Day, he had taken a liking to him. He even disregarded his own status. However, this was not advantageous for his competition to become the next tribe leader. If he could pair up with the tribe leader’s only female, he would be the next tribe leader for sure. Yet, Lian didn’t like him. Despite his efforts to show affection and favor, this female kept his eyes on Lei Lu.

With this in mind, Lin stubbornly refused to back down and replied, “Although Lian is involved in herb picking, he is not aware of the exact quantities. Our tribe’s herb picking area has been damaged by prey by more than half this year, that’s a fact. If you don’t believe me, you can ask anyone in our tribe and they’ll confirm what I’m saying is true.”

Wu Xiaoyin saw Lin’s attitude of “It’s up to you to buy it or not. Anyway, this is the price”. He certainly wouldn’t accept any additional skins. Who made Wu Xiaoyin a money-loving man? Even though this world lacked money, animal skins were equal to money!
