Chapter 519: Chapter 520: You Calm Down First
Yuanyuan, who was carrying a cub, had a fall and bled profusely.
This news spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the tribe in no time.
Hai Qin heard about the commotion and shook his head regretfully, thinking that if it were a female from his tribe who was carrying a cub, he would have ensured her careful protection to prevent such an accident.
However, he had no idea that the accident he was referring to was indirectly connected to his tribespeople. He only came to know about this when told by Wen Jue, who had received the news first.
Hai Qin was greatly agitated. "What? That female cub was pushed over by a Beastman from my Mermaid Clan?"
Wen Jue calmly responded, "Calm down, I heard this from the Beastman of the Taoyuan. I’m not certain about the details. I came to you in hopes that you could contact your tribesmen and figure out what exactly happened."
"Don’t get angry," Hanna softly patted Hai Qin’s chest, "let’s ask them first. If they are really to blame, we can always punish them later."
The Mermaid Tribe hadn’t had a cub in ten seasons, and Hai Qin, as the tribal chief, took this to heart more than anyone else!
Based on his prior experiences, he was extremely protective of cubs, as well as females who were carrying cubs!
"Regardless of the circumstances," he roared, "it was wrong for him to lay hands on that young female! I will confront them right now!"
Upon finishing his declaration, Hai Qin stormed out of the house, seething with the desire to pummel the horrid Beastman responsible.
Hanna shook her head helplessly, "Aqin is always so impulsive. Brother Wen, could you please keep an eye on him? I’ll go to the Holy Woman of Taoyuan to check on the situation."
Wen Jue nodded, "Alright, don’t worry."
...
Yin Yu and Dai Song, supporting Bai Yu, were followed by a large group of female Mermaid Beastmen. They originally planned to ask the Taoyuan Beastmen where their tribal leader was.
However, because the news of them hurting Yuanyuan had already spread throughout Taoyuan, had it not been for the strict rules of Taoyuan, the Beastmen would have already taken matters into their own hands!
So, the Mermaid Beastmen could feel the disdain from all the Beastmen in Taoyuan. When they saw them, they glared fiercely, snorted, and left without waiting for any questions to be asked.
As a result, Bai Yu and the rest hit a dead end wherever they went in Taoyuan. They received numerous cold stares and were at a loss. When had they, the noble Mermaid Beastmen, ever received such treatment?
The only reason they hadn’t responded was their feeling of guilt. Although it was not them who had pushed the young female, they were inextricably connected to the incident.
Bai Yu bore an inner torment that threatened to explode!
Unfortunately, due to his blood phobia, he was weak and could do nothing but rely on Yin Yu and Dai Song.
The group aimlessly wandered around Taoyuan Valley like headless flies.
Just when they spotted some peculiar but appealing structures, before they could take a closer look, they saw their tribal chief heading towards them with a menacing look.
Upon seeing Hai Qin, Bai Yu could almost cry!
He felt as if he had seen a ray of hope. He wanted to throw himself at Hai Qin’s feet and pour out all his grievances.
Absorbed in his own imagination, Bai Yu failed to realize that Yin Yu and Dai Song had quietly let go of his arm, and the tribespeople behind them had retreated a few steps in unison.
