Chapter 520: Chapter 521: The Target of All
Baiyu suddenly became the target of everyone’s blame, yet he had no idea and looked at Hai Qin with great grievance.
"Chief..."
Seeing this, Hai Qin immediately understood that Baiyu must have caused the trouble. He raised his hand high and gave a heavy slap on Baiyu’s face.
"Don’t call me the chief! How can I have a tribesman like you?!"
Baiyu was sent flying by the sudden slap. He fell onto the snowy ground, his cheek visibly swelling up.
Upon witnessing this, the rest of the tribe couldn’t help but shiver and collectively take a step back, avoiding the chief’s wrath.
Baiyu looked at Hai Qin with a dazed expression, "Chief, Chief?"
Seeing that Baiyu still hadn’t realized his mistake, Hai Qin became even more infuriated!
He lifted his foot, ready to kick this disgraceful creature, absolutely disgusted at the sight of him!
Wen Jue arrived just in time to hold him back, "Calm down first, let’s find out what happened."
Hai Qin glanced at Wen Jue, finally deciding to lower his foot. He glared at Baiyu and said in a stern voice, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry and roll over here to explain what happened!"
Baiyu scramble-crawled to Hai Qin’s feet and started crying, "Chief! I’ve been wronged! I didn’t even touch the tiny female, she just suddenly rushed over and bumped into my protective barrier and fell down! I didn’t push her!"
The Mermaid Beastmen, living under the sea, have cultivated a superpower in response to the uncontrollable dangers in the ocean depths which instinctively allows them to activate a small protective barrier when in danger.
This ability to release barriers has long been integrated into the blood and bones of the Mermaid Beastmen. When Yuanyuan unexpectedly pushed Baiyu, he perceived danger and automatically activated his protective barrier.
But he never expected that this defensive barrier would cause such a catastrophe.
Another wave of rage swelled in Hai Qin’s heart, "You’re justifying your actions now? Don’t I know what you’re like? You surely upset her with your rude words, why else would she push you? Do you know that she’s a pregnant female? A pregnant female!"
Upon hearing this, Baiyu felt even more wronged!
"How was I to know she was pregnant? She didn’t tell me, otherwise, I would’ve never upset her... "
After listening for a while, Wen Jue nodded and began to analyze the situation clearly, "So, the cause of this incident was your disrespectful words. The young female from the Taoist tribe wanted to drive you away. She suddenly attacked you and you instinctively released your protective barrier, which made her fall, right?"
Baiyu nodded in despair. Despite his nose stopping bleeding, his face was still covered in blood, one side of his face swollen. He was crying pitifully, making him look very miserable.
Wen Jue continued, "You both are at fault in this situation. It’s just that the young Taoist female paid a larger price. If the cub can be saved, that would be fine, but if it can’t..."
Wen Jue didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone present understood what he was implying.
Hai Qin felt even worse!
The Holy Lady of the Tao Yuan tribe had allowed them to stay out of goodwill, but now such a mishap had happened. They came to build good relations, not to create conflicts.
Hai Qin sighed and turned to Wen Jue, "So what do we do now?"
