Chapter 977: Chapter 982: Shift the Blame onto Someone Else
As he spoke, Wen Jue waved to the tribe members who were gradually gathering around, "It’s fine, everyone go back, we’ll celebrate when everyone has returned."
The tribespeople were very cooperative, dispersing slowly and orderly.
When almost everyone had left, Yin Kuo’s figure, still standing there, stood out conspicuously; Gaiyin noticed him immediately.
Su Tang explained with a smile, "This is Yin Kuo, Chief of the Silver Wolf Tribe. I was teleported near their tribe earlier, and fortunately, they took me in, which is why I was able to come back so quickly."
After hearing this, Gaiyin looked at Yin Kuo with a serious face and nodded to him, "Thank you for taking care of Tangtang all this time. Now that you’ve come to our Paradise, we’re family from now on. If there’s anything you need help with, just say the word!"
The Silver Wolf’s eyes twinkled, and he smiled faintly, nodding in response, "I will."
The two beastmen locked eyes with each other, creating an indescribable atmosphere.
Su Tang was anxious!
She feared that if Yin Kuo slipped up and accidentally blurted out the incident of her suspecting Yin Kuo had feelings for her and how she got embarrassingly proven wrong.
That would really be a massive social death scene!
If Gaiyin hadn’t suddenly returned, she might still be sitting in the living room, awkwardly scratching the floor with her toes.
Her gaze shifted and she saw Aunt Hongguo walking toward them but preparing to turn back after hearing Wen Jue’s words.
"Aunt Hongguo, come here for a moment!" Su Tang’s eyes lit up as she waved at Hongguo, then looked mysteriously at Yin Kuo, "Didn’t you just say you didn’t know who to ask? Just ask Aunt Hongguo, she can answer any questions you have."
As they were talking, Aunt Hongguo had already walked over.
Pushing Yin Kuo in front of her with a brilliant smile, Su Tang said, "Aunt Hongguo, this newcomer needs your help with some things, please take him with you."
Aunt Hongguo laughed heartily, "Sure, come with me."
Watching the two leave, Su Tang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When she turned around, she saw Gaiyin looking at her with a plaintive expression.
"What, what’s wrong?"
Gaiyin was steeped in jealousy, like a grumbling husband, "Why were you staring at him the whole time?"
Su Tang’s brain froze for a moment, but she quickly recovered, "Just, just showing concern for the new tribe member?"
Gaiyin’s face still drooped unhappily, clearly unsatisfied with Su Tang’s answer, his face screaming, ’I’m not happy’!
Su Tang: ...
This, this is just preposterous.
She had spoken the truth, yet he did not believe it.
Who would have thought that a scenario right out of a Mary Sue plotline would one day happen to her?
What would Gaiyin do next?
Insistently question her about what her relationship with Yin Kuo really was? Or simply grab a sword to chase after Yin Kuo for a real man-to-man showdown?
Ah, the curse of her relentless charm.
Su Tang touched her chin in thought.
While she pondered on how to perfectly handle this situation, she was completely oblivious to Gaiyin’s increasingly dark expression beside her.
Ye Qiao suddenly spoke up, "Cub, haven’t you noticed that Tangtang is wearing a new dress today?"
Hearing this, Su Tang looked up and saw Ye Qiao winking at her nonstop.
In that moment, Su Tang had an epiphany!
Question: What is the best way to shift attention?
Answer: Throw the blame onto someone else.
Su Tang put on a stern face and withdrew her hand from Gaiyin’s grasp, "I’m wearing a new dress today and you didn’t even notice, how could you be so inconsiderate!"
Gaiyin: ???
