Chapter 318: Chapter 316 Eat, Sleep, Repeat…
Auro asked Ashley, “Did the Clan Leader truly say that?”
“Yes.” Ashley looked at Auro’s wounded leg and took out a small bamboo tube from the sheepskin pouch she carried, “The ointment inside here is very effective in activating blood circulation and diminishing bruises.”
When tribe members were injured, they would seek treatment from the Witch Clan, and because Ashley was the granddaughter of the witch, Auro didn’t refuse the medicine she offered, “Thank you, Ashley, and please say hello to the witch on my behalf.”
“Uncle Auro, you’re welcome.” Ashley’s expression changed again, becoming extremely grim as she said to Galian, “There’s still a way out if you go to the Female Cave, and that’s where you were supposed to go.”
As she finished speaking, a few of the tribe’s males who came with her proceeded to drag the bloodied Galian away.
For a female who could not contribute to the tribe’s population, her value was even less than that of a pig or sheep. If she went to the Female Cave and found someone willing to take her in without expectation, she might have the chance to leave. If not, there was only one outcome for her, to die in the Female Cave.
“No— I don’t want to—Robby, I know I was wrong, I won’t go back to my own family in the future, and I will take good care of you, I won’t poison you anymore— Robby, you’ve seen my body, please save me—” Galian completely panicked, even confessing to the deed of having poisoned Robby.
Everyone was shocked to hear her, attempting to murder a Beast Husband!
In the tribe, that was an unforgivable and grave crime.
“Once you’re in the Female Cave, it doesn’t matter if he’s seen your body, being X’d to death is what you deserve.” The males handling her showed no compassion upon hearing her malicious words.
Sally was also taken aback, “Poison? What kind of poison?”
“I know.” Robby hung his head, unable to lift his gaze, “I found out when I was going through her things, it was Heitang Root.”
Robby, who regularly gathered herbs, recognized the item.
Ashley was shocked, “Just a small piece of Heitang Root can cause a male to be impotent for life.”
Sally frowned, “Is it really that powerful? Can’t it be cured?”
Ashley shook her head, “Currently, it cannot be cured, and this thing is also rare. It is said that the Snake Tribe has seen this root.”
“Please, Ashley, ask the witch to think of something. My brother is only twenty and still has no offspring,” Sally said to Ashley.
Ashley nodded, “Okay, I will ask my grandmother to see if she has any solutions.”
Auro was filled with regret; he shouldn’t have agreed to Robby’s request to marry such a venomous female.
He bowed in apology to the neighboring tribespeople around him. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝔲𝔟.𝔠𝖔𝖒
The neighbors all spoke in support of Auro, consoling him. Especially Aunt Bruxil, who felt even more ashamed, she should have told Auro about Galian’s deeds much earlier.
Ashley and Rona Resh didn’t stay long either; they had to report Galian’s actions to the Clan Leader and the witch. After exchanging a few words with Sally, they left.
As they were leaving, Sally asked Rona Resh, “Are you engaged?”
Rona Resh smiled shyly and said, “Yes, I am. To our very own Cain Shezadlin from the tribe. Be sure to come for the wedding feast.”
“Certainly, I will prepare a grand gift.” Sally was taken aback; this was different from before.
Cain Shezadlin, she remembered that he was killed by Demon Beasts when their old tribe was attacked.
…
Galian’s two younger brothers came to the Millet Family, asking for their sister.
Auro didn’t conceal the truth from them due to their young age, telling them everything about what Galian had done; they were capable of distinguishing right from wrong from the moment they turned human.
But Auro also told them that Galian loved them. No matter what she did, she never abandoned them, and if they ever lacked food or clothing in the future, they could come to him. In the end, he even gave them a bag of Red Coins.
The two children took the Red Coins and left. Later, I heard that they made a trip to the Female Cave, and then left the Rat Tribe, saying they were going to join other relatives.
Before long, Galian also escaped from the Female Cave.
The Clan Leader issued a warrant for her arrest, and notified several other tribes that whoever found Galian, dead or alive, he would pay 500 Red Coins.
Soon, Galian’s body was brought back. They said that when she was found, she had already been violated to death by a Wandering Beastman.
From the marks left on her body, it was probably someone from the Jackal Clan, who had recently expelled one of their own, named Hu Chai. He had dishonored his pregnant sister-in-law, resulting in the death of both mother and child. The Clan Leader of the Jackal Tribe issued an arrest warrant with a bounty of ten Crystal Coins, dead or alive.
Sally remembered that it was this same Hu Chai who had harmed Rona Resh at the full-month celebration that Ashley held for the children.
However, Ashley and Lin Lang weren’t married yet, and the children were not yet born; since Hu Chai was already being hunted, perhaps Rona Resh might escape this calamity.
Auro went to see the Clan Leader, and when he came back, he happily informed Sally and Robby that they were moving.
They were moving back to their old house in the mountain stream cave. Not only was it warm in winter and cool in summer, but it was also spacious, convenient for storing dried meat.
The wedding preparations for Lin Lang and Ashley, as well as Cain and Rona, had begun, with the four holding a grand ceremony at the Beast God Temple.
Ming Linyuan, apart from returning once in between to leave a mountain-like pile of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for Sally, had left again.
He kept clinging to Sally’s hand, reluctant to leave, but in the end, she had to kick him out.
Sally knew that he needed to retreat for Tribulation to advance to the Spirit Rank, and during the retreat, he definitely couldn’t be distracted by other matters.
Auro was unaware of Ming Linyuan’s cultivation matters, only feeling a bit worried because he didn’t come back very often,
“Yanyan, Xiaoming hasn’t come back for days.”
“He’s busy with his own affairs; he’ll come back once he’s done. By the way, Dad, I’m pregnant.”
‘Crash, bang!’ Auro dropped everything in his hands to the floor, “Yanyan, what did you say?”
Sally patted her slightly bulging belly, “Pregnant, and in less than twenty days, I’ll give birth.”
“This is major!” Auro panicked at once; what was it that females needed to do when they were pregnant? “Right, right, first go see the Witch Clan, have them check on you.”
“No need, Dad, I can manage on my own.” Sally said a few words, then felt hungry again. She walked to the yard, grabbed a strip of nearly dried meat hanging there, and started chewing.
“Where’s my brother? I have a few patterns for him. He’s clever with his hands, help me make a pair of boots.”
“Your brother has gone up the mountain to gather herbs, he’ll be back later. I’ll have him make them for you with the finest deer hide.”
“Mhm.” Sally chewed on the dried meat and began to feel sleepy again, “No good, I need to go back to my room to sleep.”
“Quick, go sleep, sleep more. I’ll go buy the finest deer milk for you, you mustn’t be picky now. Drinking this is best during pregnancy.”
“Got it, Dad.” After Sally went back, she fell asleep immediately.
While she was sleeping, a disheveled and filthy male entered the Millet Family home…
A Defense Barrier left by Ming Linyuan was at the entrance of the cave dwelling where Sally lived. Except for her, no one could enter; this included even Zulu and Robby.
The male was blocked by the Barrier, but through the half-open door, he saw Sally lying asleep on the bed, her tender and flirtatious appearance igniting a lewd and sinister light in his murky yellow eyes.
