Chapter 246: Chapter 247: Seeking Love
"Chief, Uncle Lini and the others have brought back a lot of Sabertooth Beasts from their hunt, you should go see for yourself!"
Gaiyin and Su Tang exchanged a glance.
There wasn’t much to see here anyway. Whether it was shaping the Mud Embryo or digging the cave, both would take some time.
So, she nodded at Shield Mountain and said, "Take me there!"
Shield Mountain immediately took the lead with gusto.
Not far off, he turned around with a grin, boasting proudly, "Chief, Sacred Lady, it was I who found the lair of the Sabertooth Beasts! I then informed Uncle Lini, who led the tribesmen to capture all the Sabertooth Beasts!"
Su Tang gave a charming smile, "Is that so! You’ve done a wonderful job! Uncle Lini wouldn’t have caught so much prey without you!"
After being lavished with praise, Shield Mountain suddenly got little embarrassed.
His face turned red and he scratched his head, "Ac...Actually, I didn’t do much..."
Observing Shield Mountain’s innocent boyish charm, Su Tang found it amusing and felt like teasing him a bit.
Just as she was about to speak, she caught Gaiyin looking at her with a sorrowful expression out of the corner of her eye.
Slightly disappointed, Su Tang closed her mouth.
After walking for about three to five minutes, Su Tang caught sight of the towering figures of Xiongda and Xionger in the distance.
Xionger, in particular, had a Sabertooth Beast slung over his shoulder and was turned away from them, seemingly talking to someone!
Su Tang was curious, and Shield Mountain chuckled mysteriously.
"Hahaha, Xionger must be courting Liu Ye! With winter around the corner, he definitely wants Liu Ye to bear him a cub!"
"Cough cough...cough cough!"
Su Tang was startled by Shield Mountain’s comment.
Courting...
Were all Beastmen so bold?
Or did she interpret it wrong?
Gaiyin soothed Su Tang after her coughing fit, and gave Shield Mountain a stink eye.
Shield Mountain: ???
After recovering, Su Tang suspected that she might have misunderstood, since, in all of her time here, she’d never seen anyone publicly display their affection.
Hei~
So, by ’courting’, Shield Mountain might mean it in a literal sense.
But it was surprising that Xionger had a thing for Liu Ye.
But then again, ever since Liu Ye’s acne scars had started to heal, revealing his handsome face, the Beastmen of the tribe were showing their interest in him.
Even though Liu Ye’s face had healed, he was still timid and reticent, always skirting around the Beastmen. Over time, the Beastmen lost interest, and only Xionger continued to pursue him.
Stirred by the gossip, Su Tang felt an itch in her heart, like a cat pawing at her, she suddenly wanted to know what Xionger was saying to Liu Ye.
So, she quietly hunched over and sneaked up to a bush about ten meters behind Xionger. Just when she was about to move forward, she heard Liu Ye shout.
"Chief! Where is Tangtang? Isn’t she with you?"
Su Tang quickly turned her head, slapped herself inwardly for being so engrossed that she’d forgotten the big tiger, Tiger.
As Gaiyin had already revealed himself, Su Tang felt awkward crouching, so she stood up from the bush, somewhat embarrassed.
She waved at Liu Ye with an awkward smile, "Hi~ I’m right here."
Liu Ye blinked in confusion, "Tangtang, what were you doing crouching there? I thought you got lost again. Chief was looking for you."
Su Tang couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of her mouth.
What does he mean ’again’?
As if she often gets lost.
