CHAPTER 405: CHAPTER 396 STICKING AROUND TO LIVE_1

"Indeed, there’s nothing to hesitate about." Tai Seng’s expression was grim as he spoke bluntly, "You can go now."

Lang Rong’s face changed, and she cursed loudly, "Bastard, I’m your mother!"

Tai Seng’s voice was cold. "Not anymore!"

He had clearly severed his ties with the Yanxiang Tribe. He couldn’t understand where they found the audacity to keep dragging him into their affairs, even going so far as to kidnap Si Yan.

Tai Seng wanted to say more, but Si Yan stopped him.

Si Yan asked, "The Yanxiang Tribe was doing just fine in the south, so why couldn’t you stay there? Why has the entire tribe migrated here?"

Lang Rong snorted arrogantly. "Why all the questions? We, the Yanxiang Tribe, wanting to merge with you is doing you a favor."

"Speak respectfully," Tai Seng said sternly.

Lang Rong suddenly realized she was being rebuked. "You!"

Behind Lang Rong, Xiong Nai stepped forward. She had originally been a plump female, but now she had lost a lot of weight.

She apologized, "Si Yan, our tribe’s land was taken over by the neighboring jackal beastmen. The jackal beastmen forced us out of the entire forest, and we had nowhere to go. That’s why everyone thought to seek refuge with you."

The male beastmen behind Xiong Nai were holding several small bear cubs. Xiong Nai exhaled and said, "Sorry to have troubled you."

Lang Rong said angrily, "Xiong Nai, what business is it of yours, always meddling!"

"Aunt Rong," Xiong Nai said, "we’re the ones asking Si Yan for help. Can’t we speak respectfully?"

Lang Rong was so angry her face turned red.

Si Yan spoke indifferently, "Delusional Domain doesn’t lack Green Crystal beastmen, so a merger is out of the question."

Lang Rong was stunned. "How can you not lack them? We have more than thirty Green Crystal beastmen and one Red Crystal beastman! We are very strong!"

"Are Red Crystal beastmen that impressive?"

She Ying walked over from afar, his face grim. He respectfully said to Si Yan, "Mistress."

Si Yan nodded at him.

She Ying glanced at the people of the Yanxiang Tribe, then revealed his Purple Crystal.

He said dryly, "You should recognize me. I’m the attendant of the Mistress and the Lord."

She Ying was as expressionless as ever. "I wonder if I alone can take all of you down. Shall we try?"

The beastmen of the Yanxiang Tribe were completely intimidated!

Good heavens, even the Mistress’s attendant is a Purple Crystal beastman?

Lang Rong was a bit scared. She said, "No, that’s not... My son Tai Seng is also a Purple Crystal beastman!"

"Don’t drag me into this," Tai Seng said, both angry and frustrated, his face flushed red.

Si Yan had no choice but to pat Tai Seng’s silver wolf head.

Besides, the big dog’s head reminded her of the Samoyeds she used to see in her previous life; it was truly satisfying to stroke.

Si Yan looked over at the people of the Yanxiang Tribe. Except for Xiong Nai, with whom she had some rapport and planned to covertly look after, she had no intention of helping the other beastmen.

Her time was precious; she had no time to keep arguing with them.

Not wanting to waste words, Si Yan concluded directly, "Delusional Domain doesn’t need to merge with other tribes. We will not accept the Yanxiang Tribe."

The light in the eyes of the gray wolf and bear beastmen dimmed upon hearing Si Yan’s words.

They had been severely beaten by the jackal beastmen, stripped of their food and homeland, and even several of their females had been taken.

Only these few beastmen remained. After finally arriving at Delusional Domain seeking refuge with Si Yan and Tai Seng, they were rejected.

They had been hungry for a whole day and were now homeless, uncertain if they would become wandering beastmen.

They didn’t know what to do now.

Lang Rong suddenly became anxious. "Si Yan, no, it’s not..."

Lang Rong turned to Tai Seng and bellowed, "Tai Seng, I am your mother! I endured such hardship carrying you and bringing you into this world! You say you don’t want me just like that? Are you not afraid of the Beast God’s punishment?!"

A corner of Si Yan’s mouth twitched.

There won’t be any punishment.

No matter what, He wouldn’t punish His own people.

"You all can leave," Si Yan said, then mounted Tai Seng’s back and departed.

Once Tai Seng was away from the Yanxiang Tribe members, he lost the initial excitement he had felt carrying Si Yan and seemed listless.

Si Yan asked, "Tai Seng, are you worried about them?"

"No!" Tai Seng’s fluffy head shook like a rattle drum.

"I just feel that I’ve caused you trouble. You shouldn’t have had to deal with these issues."

Si Yan tilted her head. "Aren’t you the one who has been taking care of me and the cubs all along? I’m not used to constantly receiving favors from others without giving something in return. I’ve always felt that I owe you."

Tai Seng’s head shook like a rattle drum again.

"No, you don’t owe me anything. On the contrary, I’ve been truly happy during this time with everyone."

Si Yan put aside the matters of the Yanxiang Tribe for the time being.

However, the beastmen of the Yanxiang Tribe did not just leave.

A gray wolf beastman said, "What should we do now? Do we still have the strength to find a new home?"

Another lamented, "If only we hadn’t forced Si Yan back then. After all, she is a female; we shouldn’t have forced a female to accept males. Now we’ve offended her deeply, and she has no intention of helping us at all!"

Lang Feng said with a cold expression, "The tribe raised her for so many years. What’s wrong with her bearing a few children for the tribe?"

"Let’s not even mention that Si Yan was a female of our tribe and should have borne the responsibility of procreation. And as for those jackal beastmen, when they snatched our females, did they ask if they were willing to accept jackal males? It’s still a direct demand, isn’t it?"

"A female is a female, after all," Lang Feng sneered. "Females don’t have to hunt or work. They only need to find a mate and bear cubs. Is that such a grievance?"

Xiong Nai spoke up unhappily, "What kind of twisted logic is that? It’s clear you just thought Si Yan was easy to control because her males weren’t around. And you fancied her because she’s pretty, so you had ulterior motives."

"You just didn’t expect her to actually leave the tribe with such determination and never come back!"

Lang Feng glared fiercely at Xiong Nai, and Xiong Nai’s Beast Husbands immediately stood in front of her.

"Lang Feng, even if you are a Red Crystal Beastman, don’t even think of bullying our Mistress!"

"Enough!" Lang Rong snapped.

At Lang Rong’s sharp rebuke, the gray wolf and bear beastmen finally fell silent.

Lang Rong said, "The land of Delusional Domain is fertile and vast. Even if we stay here, they might not find us."

"Besides, even if they do find out, it doesn’t matter. My son Tai Seng and she have a close relationship. The snake beastmen won’t do anything to us!"

Lang Feng asked, "Aunt Rong means..."

"We don’t need Si Yan’s approval!" Lang Rong declared. "We’ll just stay here and pick the most fertile spot to settle down!"

The faces of the wolf and bear beastmen changed.

Such a shameless act was a bit embarrassing.

But the beastmen of the tribe were indeed having a hard time. Especially those like Xiong Nai, whose cubs were still very young and had suffered greatly during their displacement.

At a time like this, besides being a bit shameless, they had no other choice.

Sure enough, the beastmen of the Yanxiang Tribe chose a spot with mountains and water.

The male beastmen started digging caves, clearly intending to settle down.

The snake beastmen who witnessed this felt extremely uneasy. The Mistress was so busy; they truly didn’t know if they should report this to her.
