I Transmigrated as a Villainess to Raise Babies, and My Beast Husbands Are Fighting Madly Over Me! Chapter 40: Did Someone Bully You?

Qiao Xixi hurried to the sacrificial altar, where many beastn were already gathered.

Surrounded by the other beastn was the Hunting Team that had just gone out.

A tall, male gray wolf beastman wearing black beast hides and a beast-bone headdress stood out among them.

’He must be the Clan Leader of the Black Stone Tribe,’ Qiao Xixi guessed.

Her gaze shifted, and she saw Qiao Ang and Qiao Lie being held by Yan Li.

She walked quickly over to Yan Shi.

"You must be the Clan Leader of the Black Stone Tribe, right?"

Yan Shi looked at Qiao Xixi, his thick, gray eyebrows suddenly furrowing.

"So you’re the female Wandering Beast who beca our tribe’s Priest, Qiao Xixi."

Qiao Xixi nodded. "That’s right. I assu the beastn of the tribe have already told the Clan Leader about ."

Yan Shi nodded, his expression full of scrutiny.

Qiao Xixi stood there openly, not shying away from his gaze in the slightest.

"Mm."

But Yan Shi clearly didn’t approve of Qiao Xixi’s status.

’When the Shaman gets back, I’ll have to ask him about this properly.’

"Since the Clan Leader already knows who I am, shouldn’t you release my cubs?"

Yan Shi didn’t answer her. Instead, he asked, "You killed one of my tribesn. How do you explain that?"

Qiao Xixi recognized the male gray wolf beastman holding her cubs as one of the males who had previously accused them of stealing the Deer Beast.

"They attacked first. The Clan Leader should know this."

"You’re the ones who clearly stole our Deer Beast first! How could the Shaman let a female Wandering Beast like you beco the Priest?"

Yan Yi’s words were heated. Yan Liu had been his brother.

Qiao Xixi frowned.

"The tribe’s beastn and the Beast God have already acknowledged my position. If you’re dissatisfied, you can take it up with the Beast God."

At the ntion of the Beast God, Yan Yi’s expression froze.

They didn’t dare show the slightest disrespect to the Beast God.

"Clan Leader, Xixi is amazing. We all acknowledge her status, so please don’t make things difficult for her."

Seeing Qiao Xixi in a difficult position, Mi Lan quickly stepped forward to speak for her.

Mi Qi also stepped forward.

"That’s right, Clan Leader. You can’t bully the Priest."

Bai Xing and Baobao, who had been hiding behind their mothers, slowly shuffled out as well.

"Clan Leader, p-please let Qiao Lie and the others go. He’s the strongest cub in the tribe now."

Yan Shi hadn’t expected these Wandering Beasts to be so capable. They had only just arrived, yet they could already get the tribe’s own beastn to speak up for them.

Not wanting to upset his tribesn, he told Yan Yi to release Qiao Lie and the others.

Yan Yi was displeased.

"Clan Leader, but they..."

"Enough. Even if that’s the case, they are just two cubs. If you want to deal with soone, it should be the male who killed Yan Liu."

Yan Yi gritted his teeth but had no choice but to obey and release Qiao Ang and Qiao Lie.

Qiao Xixi went forward and took her two cubs by the hand.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

The two cubs shook their heads.

Just then, the Shaman and Jin Ling arrived at the sacrificial altar.

"Clan Leader, you’re all back."

Yan Shi nodded.

"Thank you for looking after the tribe while I was away, Shaman."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Yan Shi, the Shaman turned his gaze to Qiao Xixi.

"Clan Leader, this is our Priest."

Yan Shi said expressionlessly, "I’ve already t her."

Noticing Yan Shi’s cold attitude, the Shaman changed the subject.

"Clan Leader, let’s hold the ceremony first. Everyone is waiting."

Yan Shi nodded. "For today’s Sacrificial Dance, you should be the one to perform it."

This statent represented his current disapproval of Qiao Xixi’s status.

The Shaman was in a difficult position. Before he could speak, he heard Qiao Xixi say, "I don’t know how to do it yet. I’ll let the Shaman perform it on my behalf."

Only then did the Shaman nod and walk onto the sacrificial altar.

Hong Xi had so beastn bring over colorful leaves of all kinds to cover the hunted prey.

The Shaman stood amidst the prey, waving his arms and legs as he perford the Sacrificial Dance.

Perhaps the Shaman wasn’t a very good dancer.

Qiao Xixi watched, finding it all a bit abrupt and stiff.

After the Sacrificial Dance was over, they began to distribute the prey.

Hong Xi brought a large piece of tender at to Qiao Xixi.

"Priest, this at is too heavy. Let help you carry it back."

Just as Qiao Xixi was about to thank him, Jin Ling took the at.

"No need. We can carry it ourselves."

Hong Xi frowned. "You still have to carry the trees."

Jin Ling had, after all, brought back quite a few Grass Fruit trees.

Without a change in expression, Jin Ling hoisted the at onto his shoulder.

"I can co back for the trees later."

After speaking, he looked at Qiao Xixi.

"Xixi, let’s go back."

Qiao Xixi nodded, turned, and left, leading the cubs by the hand.

anwhile, Yan Shi had arrived at the Shaman’s ho.

The astonishnt in his eyes was plain to see as he stared at the Salt Crystal in the Shaman’s hand.

"This really is a Salt Crystal."

The Shaman smiled and nodded. "Yes, it is. The Priest is the one who discovered it."

Yan Shi was skeptical. "She’s just a female Wandering Beast."

As far as he knew, it was extrely rare for a female to serve as a Priest, even in the large tribes.

"She most likely found out about it from sowhere by accident. It doesn’t an anything."

But the Shaman didn’t think so.

"The Priest ceremony has already been completed, and Qiao Xixi has been acknowledged by the Beast God. Clan Leader, you shouldn’t be so prejudiced against our Priest."

"But that male who follows her killed Yan Liu."

"I’m also heartbroken about Yan Liu’s death, but I just asked Jin Ling. It was Yan Liu and his group who attacked first. They were in the wrong."

Yan Shi didn’t accept this explanation. He had only agreed to release Qiao Lie and the others earlier because he didn’t want to provoke the dissatisfaction of his tribesn.

The Shaman knew that ever since Yan Shi’s mate was abducted and brutally killed by a male Wandering Beast years ago, the Clan Leader had hated all Wandering Beasts with a passion.

The fact that he hadn’t attacked Qiao Xixi and her group today was already a sign of his restraint.

"Clan Leader, the Priest can help our people prosper. You should let go of your prejudice."

"I’ll have soone watch them."

The Shaman knew that Yan Shi wouldn’t truly accept them from the bottom of his heart until he could completely trust Qiao Xixi and her group.

He didn’t try to stop him.

"As long as the Clan Leader doesn’t harm or disturb them, it’s fine. I’ve already spoken to Hong Xi. I hope he will beco Qiao Xixi’s beastman mate."

Yan Shi’s expression changed.

"What did you say?"

The Shaman rubbed his nose, looking a little embarrassed.

"Hong Xi has already agreed."

Yan Shi slamd his fist on the table.

The wooden table shattered on impact.

"Hmph. You’d better have an explanation for Mi Li."

Mi Li was Yan Shi’s daughter, and the Shaman had always wanted Mi Li and Hong Xi to beco mates.

Now the Shaman was actually going back on his word.

Yan Shi was furious.

But the Shaman didn’t regret his decision.

As a father who wanted the best for his child, he hoped his son could be with a better female.

Yan Shi returned to his stone house.

As soon as Mi Li saw Yan Shi, she threw herself on him and burst into tears.

"Father, you’re finally back."

Mi Li was Yan Shi’s only cub. He had always doted on her and had never seen her cry so heartbrokenly.

"Mi Li, what’s wrong? Were you bullied? Tell Father, quickly."
