The Absolute Beast Husband, I gave birth to an entire family tree

Chapter 64: Lifting the slave contract?

"No, this smell comes from you."

"This smell... is a scent specially designed to attract wild beasts. No wonder so many wild wolves and tigers suddenly appeared."

After saying these words, Aiqi's face turned pale, and more cold sweat broke out from his back.

"How could this be?"

"Someone wants to harm me. It's Catherine. She wants to kill me and silence me."

Michelle looked at him meaningfully, "Isn't it normal for her to want to kill you? After all, you helped her perjury, and with her as a handle, only the dead can keep secrets."

Aiqi was shocked and confused.

"However, she wants you to die, but I can make you live. It's up to you how to choose."

Ai Qi's fox eyes turned quickly, and he stammered: "Princess Michelle, please save me. If you help me this time, I will tell the truth. I don't dare to slander you anymore."

Seeing that he was really scared, Michelle stopped nagging. "Tell me, who leaked the rice planting technology to you."

Aiqi answered all questions, "I said...it was Catherine...she taught me how to grow rice, and she also gave me the rice seeds."

In fact, Michelle had already guessed this answer, but when she heard it with her own ears, she was still shocked by Catherine's stupidity.

After getting the answer she wanted, Michelle did not take Aiqi back to the Phoenix tribe, but took him to a cave, letting him live temporarily and asking Natsu to bring him food every day.

As long as he doesn't seek death and runs away, Catherine won't find him.

Next, Michelle visited nearby tribes and told them the news that she would teach rice planting techniques.

Nothing is free in this world.

The tribe that chooses to study must hand over a territory bordering the Phoenix Clan and promise to hand over 30% of the annual rice harvest to the Phoenix Clan.

The next day, when Catherine came to find Edge, she found that he was not there, and she felt uneasy.

So she quickly returned home and told Naven the news.

"Father, Aiqi is missing."

Naven frowned after hearing this. "Why is it so good that it's missing? Have you looked carefully?"

"I've searched all around, Father, could he have been taken away by Michelle? If he tells the truth, I'll be doomed."

Catherine panicked, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Naven frowned, "Then let Michelle's crime be confirmed. If that doesn't work, let the slave bear the responsibility."

Catherine nodded after hearing this, and there was no other way now.

The prison of the Phoenix Clan.

In the dirty cell, a naked, upright male sat on the ground.

The cell window revealed faint sunlight, which shone on the male's handsome face as if covered with a layer of sacred light.

His delicate thin lips had a layer of dry skin from not drinking water for a long time.

But even this made Catherine stunned.

It's like an uncarved jade that suddenly sheds its gray skin and shines brightly, becoming more and more dazzling.

It's a pity that he is already Michelle's slave.

Catherine gathered her thoughts and walked slowly into the cell.

"Jeral, are you okay?"

Jellal's blue eyes slowly opened, his eyes clear and light, "I'm fine."

"Sister, she doesn't know why she came to see you, but don't worry, I have already told you that those guarding males will not harm you."

Jellal moved his lips but said nothing.

Seeing this, Catherine looked worried and said: "Rice cultivation technology is very important to our tribe. The person who leaked it has not been caught yet. Everyone thinks it was Michelle who did it."

"She didn't do it."

The expression on Catherine's face froze, and she showed a wry smile, "Of course, I also believe that it was not her who did it. Now that Aiqi is missing and there is no evidence, the elders will definitely punish her."

"Michelle is my sister. I can't bear her being punished. Why don't you take the blame for her? You can also take this opportunity to terminate the master-servant contract. My sister can also save her life." Rice is very important to the Phoenix clan. Revealing rice technology is equivalent to Yu touched the lifeblood of the Phoenix clan.

Even if Lisa wanted to protect her, the tribe elders and people would not spare the culprit.

Jellal naturally understands these.

"I'm just making a suggestion. After all, there's no better way than this, right?"

"Jeral, please think about it carefully first, I'm leaving first." Catherine left with an embarrassed look on her face.

Time passed quickly, and on the last day, Michelle had not found any evidence to prove her innocence.

Facing the pressure from the elders and clan members, Michelle remained silent.

But Catherine was feeling complacent on the sidelines. Michelle was really doomed this time.

"Sister, I know you don't dare to admit it for fear of being punished, but it's been so many days and you still haven't found any evidence. Even if I want to believe that you are innocent, sister, I can't justify it."

The elder of the Phoenix tribe looked solemn, "Lisa, Michelle is your female cub. She has made such a big mistake, what are you going to do with her?"

"Yes, you can't handle her lightly just because she is your female cub."

Food is very important to primitive tribes, not to mention this core secret.

Michelle raised her head and said with no fear in her eyes, "I didn't do this."

After saying that, she stared directly at Catherine, who turned her head away with some guilt and did not dare to look at her.

At this time, the leader of the Fox Clan walked into the conference hall.

He was furious, especially when he saw Michelle, he expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Michelle, the method you teach about growing rice is totally fake."

"Our rice seedlings can't grow at all and are all dead. How dare you deceive the Fox Clan."

"Today, in front of the Phoenix clan leader and elders, you must return the reward for those twenty prey."

Everyone was stunned after hearing this.

Especially Catherine was panicked, but she reacted quickly.

"Sister, please tell me one thing. Did you deliberately tell the leader of the Fox Clan the wrong method? Even though the Fox Clan is in a competitive relationship with us, you can't do that."

Michelle ignored Catherine and nodded slightly, "The leader of the Fox Clan will return the twenty prey, but not me."

Then she shouted outside, "Bring it in."

As she finished speaking, Natsu led a male in.

When Catherine saw the male's face clearly, she took a few steps back in shock and clenched her hands unconsciously.

Edge.

Michelle actually found him, and she had a bad feeling in her heart.

Edge knelt on the ground and lowered his head.

Michelle looked at him condescendingly, "Aiqi, I know you are dedicated to the Fox Clan. As long as you tell the truth, I can teach the Fox Clan real rice planting techniques."

Ai Qi raised his head in surprise, "Princess Michelle, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course, as long as the Fox Clan hand over 30% of the rice harvest every year, I will hand over the technology to you unconditionally. What do you think, Chief of the Fox Clan?"

The fox clan leader’s fox eyes narrowed slightly, “Okay.”

Before he came, he had received news that Michelle had spread the rice planting technology, and the conditions for teaching were a piece of territory and 30% of the harvest.

So after the rice planting failed, he came to the Phoenix Clan as soon as possible.

Aiqi took a deep breath, his eyes extremely determined. "It was Catherine who taught me how to grow rice. This matter had nothing to do with Princess Michelle from beginning to end. It was she who asked me to slander Princess Michelle."

As soon as these words came out, Catherine's expression changed drastically.

She was furious, "You're talking nonsense. When did I tell you this?"

"Sister, even if you want to shirk responsibility, you can't throw dirty water on me."
