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

Chapter 57 Pear Also Disappeared

Ling Yu was so overwhelmed by the kiss that she felt dizzy.

She returned the kiss defiantly, trying to gain the upper hand, but Xuan quickly subdued her until her body went limp like water and she collapsed into the man's broad, hard embrace.

"I'll remember what you said."

Xuan's rough fingers rubbed Ling Yu's slightly swollen, bright red lips, his deep voice carrying an undeniable authority:

"You must also remember my words: don't wander off, and protect yourself."

Ling Yu nodded, blushing.

After a brief moment of tenderness, Xuan got up and left.

He is also responsible for patrolling the tribe. To ensure that no more females go missing, the males have started taking turns to check the patrols.

Ling Yu pondered this thoughtfully.

She suspected that someone was behind the disappearances, and it couldn't have been caused by wild animals eating them. Later, the missing females all stayed in their own places.

Disappearing without a trace can only mean one thing.

They were taken away.

In the animal kingdom, where there are far more males than females, females are resources, and resources are naturally coveted.

Just then, my father suddenly returned.

His aged face showed signs of fatigue. Seeing Yu sitting there blankly, he stepped forward and sighed, "Yu, the tribe has lost another female. You must not go out again during this time."

“Father, I understand.”

Lingyu filled a ceramic cup with water and handed it to her father.

He finished making the pottery pots and cups she had asked Wei to make last time, and even had Shao personally deliver them to her.

The father took the water, drank a sip, and said lovingly:
“You’re much less of a worry than before. Your father has been busy with tribal affairs lately and hasn’t been able to pay much attention to you. You don’t blame your father, do you?”

Ling Yu shook her head.

She had never met her father in modern times. Her father was the first person to make her feel fatherly love, even though he didn't have much time to spend with her.

But every time he came back, he would bring some animal meat and fruit.

Sometimes I would pick some fresh flowers for her and place them near the stone bed.

This silent fatherly love.

She always felt it genuinely.

Recently, because of the missing female, her father has been so busy every day that he doesn't even have time to eat. How could she bear to blame him?

"Father, you've worked so hard these past few days."

She said it sincerely.

The father shook his head with satisfaction. "It's not hard work at all. On the contrary, it's you who brought so many advanced tools and methods to the tribe. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Wei recently found some people to work on farming. Did you tell him about it?"

Ling Yu felt a little nervous.

Does Father mean he's starting to doubt her too?

"Uh……"

She hesitated, unsure of what to say.

Father smiled and said slowly, "Your mother was right all along. You are the chosen one of our tribe, destined to bring prosperity to the tribe."

"Mother?" Ling Yu suddenly became curious about this mother.

When her father woke up from the poisoning last time, he learned that she knew medicine and mentioned her mother. At that time, she felt that her father was hiding something.

This time, the topic of her mother came up again, and she mentioned that her mother said she was a woman chosen by heaven.

These words seem to imply that her mother had foreseen her arrival.

These changes will be brought to the tribe.

"Father, what kind of person is Mother? Why did she say that I would bring prosperity?"

The father's expression changed slightly, and he sighed, "These are what your mother said before she passed away. As for what kind of person she was..."

He shook his head, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes.

"Let's not talk about it anymore, let's not talk about it anymore."

The father smiled bitterly: "In short, Yu, do whatever you want to do. Your father will always be there for you."

These sincere words almost brought Ling Yu to tears.

Is this what it feels like to have a father?

She suppressed the urge to cry and nodded, her voice choked with emotion. However, she vaguely guessed that her father seemed to know some secrets about her, but he was unwilling to say more.

But he was protecting her.

Her father chatted with her for a while, then told her to go and rest.

The next morning, after Ling Yu woke up, she habitually went to find Li, who lived in a nearby cave. Before she even reached the cave entrance, she saw Lie and Li, along with Li's three beast husbands, standing together with serious expressions, talking about something. Ling Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Without thinking twice, she rushed over. "What's wrong? What happened?"

The beastmen of Pear looked extremely grim, their expressions pained.

One of them clutched his head in grief and said in a low voice, "Pear... Pear has also disappeared!"

One sentence made Ling Yu's heart clench.

Pear was her first friend in this world, and she had told herself yesterday not to wander off and to stay in the tribe.

How could they have disappeared?

When Lie and Li saw her coming, they both looked slightly surprised.

"How did she disappear? Where did she go last night?"

Ling Yu asked anxiously.

The three beastmen were so heartbroken they couldn't speak. One of them was so desperate that he wanted to rush out to search, but was stopped by the other two.

“They said that last night, Pear and two beastmen were resting in the cave, and when they woke up, Pear was no longer there.”

Lie said in a deep voice, his tone calm.

Ling Yu frowned. Were there two beastmen present, or were they missing?
what happened?

Could it be a ghost?
Did you hear any noises last night?

She looked at the two beastly men.

The beastmen shook their heads in anguish: "No, we don't know why, but last night we slept very soundly and didn't make a sound."

"When I returned to the cave, they were still asleep."

Another beastman added in a deep voice.

Ling Yu thought to herself, "No ordinary person could sleep so soundly, especially two people like this. There must be something strange about it!"
She immediately went into the cave to check for clues.

"What are you looking for?" Li asked, somewhat confused.

Lie and the three beastmen also came in, looking at Ling Yu's actions with suspicion.

They all assumed that the female, upon hearing of Pear's disappearance, would either cry from worry or hide in fear.

Unexpectedly, he was so calm and composed.

Lie and Li's eyes unconsciously followed Ling Yu, showing some curiosity about what she was about to do.

"Check the cave for anything else. I suspect someone went into the cave last night and took the pears away."

Ling Yu searched while speaking in a low voice.

Other things? Lie and Li exchanged a glance, neither quite understanding.

Given the previous disappearances of females and the lack of leads after so many days of searching, they were not in a hurry to send people to continue the search.

Instead, they chose to listen to Ling Yu and observe from inside the small cave.

The beastmen were at a loss.

We could only search inside the cave to see if there was anything we had never seen before.

Suddenly, Li called out in confusion.

"What's this?!"

He pointed to some powdery substance on the ground, next to a small piece of charred twig.

Lie and the beastmen walked over, all frowning in confusion.

"Tree branches? We've never burned these kinds of tree branches in the cave..."

Ling Yu quickly pushed past the group and said urgently, "Let me see."

Li Weiwei stepped aside to let her pass.

Ling Yu immediately picked up the branch. The moment her fingers touched it, she instinctively activated her plant-based supernatural abilities to begin detecting it—

Hypnotic tree! Branches with hypnotic effects.

Immediately afterwards, the area where the branches grew gradually came into her mind.

Ok?
This type of tree mainly grows in the eastern part of the Yang tribe; it is absolutely not found in our tribe.

"Li's disappearance is definitely related to the Yang tribe!"

She had a guess in her mind and said in a deep voice.

The three beast husbands, Lie, Li, and Li, turned to look at her simultaneously, their eyes filled with doubt.
