A vile, ugly, and fat female? A chaotic scene of six beastly husbands vying for her favor.

Chapter 56 Let Me Kiss You Twice

Lingyu learned that after she taught some of the females how to make clothes last time, other females in the tribe also began to collect materials such as hemp grass, preparing to come to her to learn how to make clothes.

The missing female is named Qiu. She mysteriously disappeared while she was gathering materials with her companions on the outskirts of the tribe.

"Yu, maybe the female accidentally fell into some cave. All the males in the tribe have gone to look for her, so they should be found soon."

The female, who had explained the situation to her, spoke to her.

In the tribe, females rarely venture into remote areas. This time, in order to make clothes, some people have already harvested all the hemp grass in the vicinity.

That's why they'll go even further to search.

Some people in the tribe blamed Ling Yu for what she wore.

However, most people still think this was an accident.

I believe it won't be long before we find it.

Ling Yu originally thought she would find that person soon, but by the next night, Qiu was still nowhere to be found.

Most people guessed that she was eaten by wild animals.

"Hmph! It's all Yu's fault. She taught everyone to find hemp to make clothes, and people lost their lives trying to learn her skills. She's a real scourge!"

"I think it's because she picked all the hemp grass nearby that everyone had to go far away to look for it!"

"I thought this female had changed her sex, but I didn't expect her to still be so selfish!"

Ling Yu would often hear such comments while walking down the street.

She was also worried about the female and didn't want to get into any trouble with those people, but Pear and a few other females couldn't stand by and watch.

"What nonsense are you spouting! What does this have to do with language?"

"She made a mistake while teaching everyone how to sew?"

"Qiu's disappearance was an accident! Stop talking nonsense."

Those people glanced at them dismissively and left.

Li patted Ling Yu's hand worriedly: "Yu, don't overthink it. Because you taught everyone how to make clothes, now everyone in the tribe is wearing warmer clothes. You are a great contributor."

"Yes, those people are ungrateful! Heartless!"

Ling Yu smiled and said, "It's nothing, I didn't take it to heart."

She doesn't have the time or inclination to argue with those people.

"But is there still no news about Qiu?"

Pear and the other females shook their heads helplessly.

"We couldn't find even a trace of the body, which everyone found strange. People have gone missing in previous years, but at least we could tell whether they were injured or killed by wild animals."

"The males searched the area thoroughly, but still couldn't find it."

Pear sighed: "Qiu is also a pitiful little female. She's only thirteen years old. Her mother caught a cold and fell ill. Being a filial daughter, she wanted to gather some hemp grass to make clothes for her mother, but unexpectedly..."

“Her mother has been frantic these past few days. Everyone is saying that Qiu is probably gone.”

As Ling Yu listened to everyone's conversation, she felt a little heavy-hearted.

They thought the matter would eventually fade away, but two days later, two more females from the tribe went missing.

For a time, all the females in the tribe lived in fear.

No one dared to come out, and everyone stayed in their own homes.

In the evening, Ling Yu was grilling meat in the cave when she suddenly heard familiar footsteps behind her.

She turned her head and saw that the person who had come was Xuan.

He strode toward her, his usually handsome face showing signs of fatigue and exhaustion.

"did you miss me?"

He put his arm around her shoulder and played with her hair.

Ling Yu felt a sweet warmth in her heart as she sensed his unique aura. She nodded and softly hummed in agreement.

"Don't move, let me take a good look at you."

Xuan cupped her face in his hands, his gaze tracing her features deeply, and asked in a doting tone, "How much did you miss me?"

Ling Yu's face flushed bright red.

The man's ambiguous behavior from the start left her somewhat bewildered.

"Stop fooling around, what are you doing here?"

Xuan must be quite tired these past few days, working non-stop.

While hunting, they also had to search for the missing females, and they didn't seem as energetic and spirited as before.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Xuan Tengkong suddenly picked her up and carried her step by step toward the stone bed.

She immediately wrapped her arms around his neck nervously, her face flushed with surprise, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Let me kiss you twice."

The man's husky voice was direct and passionate. Ling Yu was held and sat on Xuan's lap. He lowered his head slightly, captured her lips, and kissed them gently twice. The kisses, slightly cool and chilly, landed on her lips.

This time, unlike the last time, it wasn't so domineering and arrogant; it seemed to carry a touch of tenderness and longing.

He stared intently at her, as if he couldn't get enough of looking at her.

Then, he let out a long sigh.

It nuzzled its head against her face twice, like a dog whining to its owner, seeking attention and comfort.

Ling Yu sensed that something was wrong with his mood, but did not break free.

Instead, her voice became much gentler.

"What's wrong? Not happy?"

Xuan pursed his lips, quietly gazing into her eyes, then hugged her tighter, burying his face in her neck and taking a deep breath before saying in a low voice:
"Another female has gone missing. We've searched everywhere... but we can't find them at all."

Someone else has gone missing? Ling Yu's heart skipped a beat.

If the initial incident was an accident, then the subsequent occurrences must have been intentional.

"Please don't get hurt, okay?"

Xuan held her hand tightly, his expression serious and somewhat flustered.

Then he nuzzled her hair with his head, as if only the scent of her could calm his heart.

In the past, he would have preferred this female to disappear as soon as possible.

But now...

More and more females in the tribe are disappearing. He couldn't imagine what would happen if Yu disappeared one day; he would go crazy.

He has never known what fear is since he was a child.

But this time, he actually started to feel afraid, afraid of losing this female.

Ling Yu saw deep worry in his eyes.

A warm feeling welled up in my heart.

No wonder he looked off.

It turns out, he was worried about her.

"I'll be fine, really. Don't worry."

She gently squeezed Xuan's hand back. This tough and strong man had actually shown this side of himself for her safety.

My heart has softened a little.

Xuan didn't respond, but held her tightly for a while.

Only then did he gradually calm down.

I felt a pang of regret.

As a male, he should provide females with more protection and a sense of security.

But he unconsciously revealed such a useless side to her.

Will she think he's unreliable?
But no one knew how panicked he was that even though they had already increased their vigilance, the females were still disappearing one by one.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Xuan sat up straight, gently stroking Ling Yu's hair, and said seriously, "Don't take what happened earlier to heart. Unless I die, I won't let anything happen to you!"

"I don't want you to die!"

For the first time, Ling Yu interrupted him with a firm tone.

She frowned, and even though she was in a passive position sitting on Xuan's lap, she grabbed Xuan's shirt and pulled him forcefully in front of her.

Their faces were very close together.

Her gaze was firm yet tinged with anger: "You mustn't say such things again! Whatever happens, we must face it together and solve it together."

Xuan looked at her in astonishment for the first time.

Her reaction seemed different from what she had imagined.

"Did you hear that?"

Ling Yu leaned closer, almost touching his lips, and said, word by word, "Don't say that again... Mmm!"

She was suddenly silenced by Xuan's lips, which stopped her from saying what she hadn't finished.

Xuan's gaze deepened as he looked at her, filled with a complex mix of emotion and desire. He cupped her face and kissed her more and more forcefully, as if he wanted to suck her dry, crush her, and swallow her whole.

My heart is filled with an overwhelming and uncontrollable love.

This little female...

It seems she cares about him even more than he imagined.
