Chapter 100: A Human Male

Hei Ze’s expression darkened. “The aura is too weak for me to tell,” he said after a pause.
Bai Ye leaned closer to the dark girl and sniffed her carefully. “It’s a human,” he said. “A male.”
Tang Guo’s breathing stopped. So, someone else had transmigrated?
Hei Ze was also stunned. “A human male? How could he hurt my sister like this? My sister is a black wolf female beast!”
“We’ll know if it’s true when we get Ximei.” With that, Tang Guo secretly activated her wood-type superpower to control the seed in Ximei’s stomach.
Did she think she would be fine if she ran?
As long as the seed was still in her stomach, as long as she wasn’t dead and she was afraid of death, she could make her run back obediently.
Hei Ze’s subordinates searched the entire Black Wolf Tribe but did not find any outsiders. “Only the newly dug cave of the White Wolf Tribe hasn’t been checked.”
“Go and investigate!” Hei Ze hated her to death now. He would skin anyone who dared to hurt his sister!
Tang Guo stopped him in time. “No need. Ximei is back. Just ask her.”
“She’s back?”
Hei Ze was very surprised. The people he had sent out said that Ximei had run out of the Twilight Forest. She had run so far. If she continued, it would be difficult for his people to catch up with her.
‘So why did she come back?’
He suddenly thought of the black seed.
He took a quiet breath and said nothing more.
Sure enough, after waiting a little longer, Ximei scrambled into view.
As soon as she saw Tang Guo, she burst into tears and snot. She lay on the ground in front of her and begged, “Tang Guo! Help! Please spare me. I’ll never run again! I really won’t run again!”
Tang Guo asked her calmly, “Then why did you run?”
“I…” Ximei hesitated. She was secretly observing the expressions of Hei Ze and Tang Guo, not sure if they knew, so she was debating whether to tell the truth.
Tang Guo warned her lightly, “You only have one chance. If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll make you into fertilizer!”
Shuddering, Ximei met Tang Guo’s cold, intimidating gaze and knew she wasn’t lying. This terrifying female could really do anything!
She didn’t dare hide anything else. “It wasn’t me who hurt Hei Mei! It really wasn’t me. It was a human male. I didn’t know him, but Hei Mei knew him!”
“She’s been protecting him. She’s the one who used the wolf skin of the black wolf tribe to hide his human presence. She’s helped that human male hide in the tribe for a long time!”
“I found out the secret by accident. He was going to kill me. He had something very strange on his hands. It was dark and scary to look at!”
“It was Hei Mei who saved me.”
Until now, the seed in her stomach had not moved. It was obvious that she was telling the truth.
Tang Guo looked at Hei Ze. “Have you never realized that there’s a man with your sister… a male?”
Hei Ze looked terrible and shook his head. “The cold season is here. Everyone was busy hunting and preparing for winter. There was another attack by the man-eating eagle orcs. I really didn’t have time to care about her.”
Tang Guo raised her eyebrows and asked Ximei, “Did you just say that this human male has been hiding in the tribe for a long time?”
Ximei nodded frantically. “Yeah, yeah!”
Tang Guo pursed her lips. She had a wild guess. Perhaps the last time the man-eagle orcs had attacked, they hadn’t simply wanted to snatch territory and food.
But that was just a guess. She had to verify what it was.
At that moment, Ximei told him everything she knew. Then she begged fearfully, “Boohoo, spare my life. I don’t want to die!”
Tang Guo didn’t really want to kill her. After all, she was a female.
But she looked at her strangely, then at Hei Ze, then at Bai Ye. Then her gaze returned to her and she asked,
“It’s been so long, but you haven’t formed a contract?”
Ximei was stunned. Then she felt even more wronged. In fact, she felt so wronged that her entire face flushed. “I-I didn’t not want to form a contract…”
She was a female, after all!
In the Beast World, weren’t females chased and fawned over?
Why was she so despised when it came to her?
It was fine with Bai Ye, but why did these males of the Black Wolf Tribe have to avoid her?
Was she that bad?
The thought made her burst into tears. She felt so wronged!
Tang Guo’s meaningful gaze landed on Hei Ze. “Did your people bully her? And you refuse to take responsibility?”
Hei Ze shouted, “No! How is that possible!”
He emphasized, “My people don’t marry outsiders!”
Bai Ye suddenly spoke up, too, to emphasize his point. “She’s not suitable for the Back Cliff Tribe either.”
Tang Guo spread her hands at Ximei and said, “Then leave. We can’t accommodate you here anymore.”
Ximei felt as if she’d been struck by lightning. “Then—then why did you call me back?”
Tang Guo said, “Oh, just to know the truth. Now that we know, you can leave.”
