The elders also said that snakes are inherently rebellious and are very prone to killing their own parents, so they must be strictly controlled from a young age.

If they cannot be controlled, they are driven out of the tribe and left to fend for themselves.

Both he and Yunxi were driven out of the tribe in this way.

The difference is that he left the tribe when he was eight years old, while Yunxi was still a snake egg when he left the tribe!

On the one hand, Yun Dongjia hated his former tribe, resenting their expulsion of him when he was young and their cruel torture of him during his childhood. On the other hand, he agreed with his elders' words and stubbornly believed that snakes were born rebellious and could not be made into anything without being beaten.

Seeing her fourth uncle's matter-of-fact attitude, Xixi knew that reasoning with him was pointless; some ideas were so deeply ingrained that they were impossible to change.

Well, how she gets along with her beast husband is ultimately up to her. As for what others say, listen to what is useful and ignore what is not. It's best not to be influenced by them.

Yunxi, on the other hand, was deeply moved when he saw Xixi arguing with her godfather for his sake. He secretly vowed to treat Xixi even better in the future!

However, Yunxi still kept a trick up his sleeve. He didn't dare tell Xixi that his godfather's actions were actually not wrong. After all, the snake-beastmen's scale armor had extremely strong defensive capabilities. If it wasn't peeled off, it wouldn't be able to hurt them at all, and they might even suffer a counter-injury.

Even after their scales are removed, these snake-beastmen are naturally insensitive to pain, so if the touch is too light, they will not feel any pain.

Most importantly, the snake-beastmen have extremely strong self-healing abilities, and can recover from non-fatal injuries very quickly, which is something that other beastmen, especially cat-beastmen, cannot match.

But seeing the pained look in Xixi's eyes, he suddenly couldn't bring himself to speak. This feeling of being cared for and loved was intoxicating, making him unwilling to confess.

He thought that if one day he really annoyed Xixi and she wanted to punish him, he would take the initiative to peel off his scales to avoid accidentally hurting her.

He will then confess that he will accept whatever punishment Xixi may impose on him!

For now, let's let this matter fade away and remain a beautiful misunderstanding.

At this moment, the lynx tribe members discovered that the "Yun" character, who usually came and went in a hurry, had actually settled down.

It wasn't a temporary stay; they asked the chief for a proper courtyard, and just like that, more than twenty wandering orcs settled in openly on the street not far from Xixi Courtyard.

Because there was plenty of time, all the goods brought this time were snapped up, even the refined salt that had previously been difficult to sell due to its high price was sold out.

Some of the peddlers even joined the temporary guard team to help the lynx tribe resist the beast tide.

Meanwhile, Xixi’s “Spiritual Comfort High-End Club” reopened, and Yun Dongjia led all the “Yun” staff to show their support.

To support Xixi and promote the strength of the "Yun" brand merchants, the spiritual support event was moved from the small courtyard to the main road where the stalls were previously set up. All the merchants printed their names and combat power levels on their chests, and as if afraid that others would not know, they would puff out their chests whenever they met someone, making sure that people saw it.

This is also because after seeing that Yunxi had found a female and was doing quite well, these lonely, wandering beastmen, who had been alone for many years, inevitably started to have their own thoughts.

However, having been away from the tribe for so long, their behavior inevitably became somewhat out of line. Xixi watched helplessly, but could only let them cause trouble.

Fortunately, with Yun Xi around and Yun Dong's special instructions, there was not much disturbance within a three-meter radius of Xixi.

With everything ready, Yun Dongjia silently prepared herself mentally before finally forcing a smile and sitting down. "Hehe, daughter, thank you for your trouble!"

After saying that, he leaned closer and said, "We're related, right? Don't worry, Uncle will definitely support you. Don't tire yourself out, just sit for a while!"

Xi Xi, not understanding the situation, thought he was just concerned about her and worried that she might get tired, so she smiled and said, "Fourth Uncle, don't worry, I have more experience in this than Cai Cai, I'll definitely arrange it perfectly for you, without leaving any room for any madness!"

Yun Dongjia opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but there was no need. He had lived to this age, which was enough. Besides, if they were really all eliminated, given Cai Cai's efficiency, wouldn't they sit there for three days and three nights? No, three days and three nights probably wouldn't be enough. When would this ever end?

But seeing Xixi's serious expression, he suddenly couldn't come up with any excuses and could only nod reluctantly.

"Please transform into your beast form and lie on the stone table." Xixi pointed to the stone table in front of her, gesturing for the other party to come up.

Yun Dongjia looked up at the sky, then at the group of brothers behind him who were eager to watch the drama unfold. He was at his wits' end and tentatively asked, "Daughter, can we just leave it at that? You know, my beast form is a snake, which looks pretty scary. It wouldn't be good if we scared our friends from the lynx tribe!"

The key point is that he's lived most of his life, and to expose his beast form in public, lying on the stone table like an exhibit, is incredibly embarrassing!

Although Xixi can also soothe the mind in human form, it is not as efficient as in beast form, and there are some places where she cannot go deep.

Most importantly, she couldn't bring herself to hit that stern elder's face. This increased psychological pressure, making it impossible for her to concentrate.

Therefore, Xixi is very insistent on this point and refuses to back down.

Left with no other choice, Yun Dongjia gritted his teeth and had to nod hard.

But at the very moment of transformation, he suddenly remembered:

Wait a minute, those two kids who went to try it out at Cai Cai's place said that both human and beast forms were available there, and most of the beastmen chose human form!

That's right, those two kids also received mental comfort in human form, so why is it different for him?

But having already taken human form, he couldn't change back to talk, so he could only coil his head inside his body, deciding to deceive himself by thinking that if he couldn't see people, they couldn't see him either.

Just as he was still struggling with whether or not to change back to his original form, whether his ugly beast form would scare his daughter, and how he should coil up to avoid looking too awkward, he heard Xixi's calm voice from above, "Alright, Fourth Uncle, you can change back now."

Is this good?

How long has it been? Only half an hour, right? Wasn't it supposed to take five hours?

Oh, right. He was embarrassed, and Xixi must have been embarrassed too. It's good that the time was shortened this way.

Of course, they're all on the same side, so he definitely wouldn't ruin his own daughter's performance. Regardless of the actual effect, he would definitely say "good" the moment he turned back!

But the moment he turned back, Yun Dongjia felt a lightness all over his body, as if the Mount Tai pressing down on his head had disappeared instantly. That sense of clarity made him want to roar to the sky.
