Chapter 612: Chapter 615: The Sanctimonious St. Ya
As soon as Gaiyin finished speaking, Shengya’s gaze turned to him, her tone somewhat serious. "Gold Elemental? But as far as I know, isn’t the gold elemental superpower unique to the White Tiger Clan? You say you come from Taoyuan, what kind of tribe is Taoyuan?"
"I am indeed a white tiger beastman, but nowadays the entire White Tiger Clan resides in Taoyuan. Taoyuan is not a tribe, it is a city-state, and many tribes have moved there."
Upon hearing Gaiyin’s explanation, not only did Shengya not relax her brow, but on the contrary, it deepened. She said with irritation,
"A new city-state? Established by what kingdom? Don’t you White Tiger Beastmen have any backbone? Isn’t your superpower enough to sustain yourselves? You’re not here to persuade me to join, are you?"
Shengya scoffed, without waiting for Gaiyin to explain, she continued, "Ha, let me tell you, don’t even think about it. The Xi Ming Deer Clan will never bow to anyone!"
The females who were originally silently surrounding them like an invisible wall boiled with fervor at Shengya’s words.
They chanted in unison, "Clan leader is mighty! We won’t bow to anyone! Clan leader is mighty! We won’t bow to anyone!"
For a moment, Shengya held her chin high with arrogant pride, her queenly aura in full effect, as if she was enveloped by a halo.
Seeing her like this, Gaiyin had no intention of explaining anything about Taoyuan to her. People like her who are full of themselves are not worth the breath, no matter what they say.
So everyone just quietly watched Shengya’s performance.
Seeing them silent, Xi’en thought they were angry and hurriedly came down from the rock, walked to the center of the lawn, and knelt on one knee.
"Ahm, you’ve misunderstood. They were entrusted by Clan Chief Jihu and came to bring us salt."
Only then did Shengya’s gaze shift to Xi’en, but when she saw his chopped off hair, her pupils contracted sharply, "What happened to your hair? What exactly happened? Don’t you know that you’re about to..."
Shengya stared at Xi’en, thoroughly disappointed.
Su Tang couldn’t help but roll her eyes. It took so much time for her to notice his hair was gone? Also, isn’t Xi’en her cub? Shouldn’t she first ask if he encountered any danger or something? Why is she so focused on the hair first?
Xi’en hung his head low, so no one could see his expression, but from his voice, he seemed full of remorse.
"I’m sorry, Ahm, it’s all my fault. I ran into the Jackal Wolf Beasts Group while I was out. My hair was so long that it was grabbed by one of the beasts. To save my life, I had to chop it off. I owe my survival to them, who helped fight off the Jackal Beasts."
Su Tang glanced at Xi’en from within Gaiyin’s arms.
She didn’t know why Xi’en lied. When they found Xi’en, he was almost dead just outside the Poisonous Fog Forest in the canyon.
But everyone tacitly remained quiet, no one pointed out Xi’en’s lie, they all quietly watched Shengya.
Shengya’s face twisted slightly, but perhaps because we are all strangers, she managed to suppress it.
She forced a smile, "I see, well, make sure to thank them later on, after all, they saved your life."
Xi’en lowered his head even further, "Yes!"
Shengya’s qi steadied a bit, she raised her hand, "Alright, go sit down, what does it look like, kneeling here?"
