Pampered Beasts: Beautiful Actress, Many Children, Many Blessings

Even after fetching water from the stream, they demonstrated sand and gravel filtration technology on the spot, allowing Xixi, a modern person, to witness the wisdom of ancient times firsthand!

So, after the males visited one after another, the unfinished house in Xixi gradually became fully furnished, and even the firewood, water, food, and snacks in the house were all prepared in abundance.

At least in Xixi's opinion, these supplies can guarantee her survival for at least a week, even with her current increased appetite!

Her attitude shifted from initial wariness to later inquiry, then to delight, and finally she sat at the doorway, snacking, smiling at the newcomer and greeting them, "You've arrived?"

Just as she was pondering which of the skilled, kind, and handsome males who had come to fawn over her today were good at their crafts and wondering if she should try to accept one or two, a warm exclamation suddenly came from outside the courtyard, "Why are you here? You're so old... Don't go in! Li Hui, Li Bai, Li Huang, stop him!"

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of a heavy object falling, followed by a painful groan from the male.

"I'll spare you today because you're juniors, but if you dare lay a hand on me again... humph... you'll lose your arms!"

Before he could finish speaking, the courtyard gate was pushed open from the outside!

This was the first time the courtyard gate had been completely opened since Fat Orange left. Although several males had come before, they all entered by crouching down, and even when they did enter, their attitude was extremely humble.

But this one used so much force that Xixi even thought the door was going to be torn down!

Against the sunlight, Xixi could only see three people stacked in a triangular shape, but could not make out their faces.

She tentatively asked, "Who are you?"

"Ha! Little female, you don't recognize me after only a month?" The newcomer was none other than Fang Lao, one of the three giants of the public female cave, the second-in-command of the lynx tribe, who had waited for Xixi for seven days, only to be stood up again, and was finally tricked once more just when he thought he had caught a turtle in a jar!

With the beastman attacked and the defensive line broken, Nuannuan rushed in and used her body as a shield in front of Xixi, saying, "With me here, you won't hurt Xixi!"

"Ha! Stop me? What makes you think you can stop me? Your bunch of good-for-nothing beastmen? Or your status as the granddaughter of the witch chief? Nuannuan, don't think that just because you're female, I won't dare to touch you!" The old man's threat was very direct. He sat on the two-person platform, looking down at the other party with a strong sense of oppression.

"You...you dare to touch me? I'm a female!" Nuan Nuan was shocked. In the tribe, being female is like having a get-out-of-jail-free card. There are clear rules against killing females. Even if there is any conflict, it is a matter between males. They would never directly attack a female.

"Ha! How stupid!" Old Fang sneered, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.

He jumped off the two men carrying him, then stepped behind them, signaling them to make their move.

Upon receiving the order, the two stepped forward without hesitation and effortlessly lifted Nuannuan up like a chick. They could kill her anytime they wanted!

At that moment, Xixi noticed that the courtyard gate had been closed at some point!

With such a commotion inside the courtyard, and Nuannuan's angry roars one after another, there wasn't a single person outside asking any questions. It's likely that Nuannuan's beast husbands were either dead or injured and couldn't speak!

She quickly stepped forward, "You came here to find me, why make things difficult for her? Have you thought this through? If she really dies here, can you really escape?"

"Why can't you escape?" the old man asked rhetorically, his eyes full of disdain, appearing arrogant and overbearing.

Now that she had been given a chance to speak, there was still room for maneuver. She gradually calmed down and began to analyze the situation: "My neighboring place with her was specially arranged by the chieftain and the shaman. Before leaving, Fatty Orange specifically asked Nuan Nuan for help, so if anything happens to Nuan Nuan, I will be held responsible!"

"Hmph! Instead of worrying about whether they will blame you, you should worry about whether you are still alive!" The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and a pressure descended, but there was no killing intent.

The oppressive aura made it hard for Xixi to breathe, yet she revealed a strange smile.

Xixi's smile made Fang Lao feel challenged. His expression darkened, and his imposing manner intensified. "What are you laughing at?"

"I laughed. Old Fang is so old, yet he's still playing around with romance, even going so far as to commit suicide for love!" Under this pressure, Xixi felt it was becoming difficult to breathe, but she stubbornly refused to bow her head. Nuannuan, who was standing to the side, had already fainted and was thrown to the ground by two of her subordinates.

"A double suicide?" The old man looked puzzled, but he quickly figured it out. He came to find Xixi for the same reason as last time in the public female cave: to seek spiritual comfort. And to get spiritual comfort, he couldn't kill Xixi. Otherwise, if she died, he probably wouldn't live long either!

"You're quite adept at using the same tricks!" he gritted his teeth, even making a squeaking sound from the force he used.

"Hehe, you flatter me, you flatter me. Who can blame me when this method works so well?" Xixi smiled like a fox. As long as he still needed her help, he couldn't really do anything to her!

So she pointed to Nuannuan on the ground and said, "So, I suggest you take her back properly and say it was a misunderstanding. I'll also talk to Nuannuan later and tell her not to make a fuss. It'll be better for everyone!"

"Send it back? Misunderstanding? I think you still don't understand the situation!" He sneered. "Aren't you just afraid of being implicated? But what if you and she disappear together?"

Xixi's heart sank. She felt that she might have underestimated Fang Lao. It was said that after the lynx chief fell ill, he became the second most important person in the lynx tribe. Perhaps he had long harbored the intention to take over. Now, Nuannuan was probably walking into a trap!

Kill Nuan Nuan, then kidnap her, and even... possibly get rid of Nuan Nuan's beast husband!

At that time, even if the chieftain, the shaman, and others have some doubts, they will have no concrete evidence. Morally speaking, they will be unable to overthrow the old man. However, if they directly declare war, it will probably play right into the old man's hands!

Now that Fang Lao has declared war, it is neither legitimate nor justifiable. Whether it was the chieftain, the shaman, or others who declared war first, or Fang Lao who declared war on the grounds of being slandered in order to seek justice, they can all be considered to have a legitimate cause!

As for her, there is a high probability that Fang Lao will hide her in a place unknown to anyone, making her a tool for his emotional comfort. Perhaps one day, when he no longer needs her, he will kill her as easily as he killed Nuan Nuan!

Thinking of this, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

But then she remembered that he hadn't immediately killed Nuan Nuan; he had even warned her repeatedly to leave.
