Animal World: The pregnant cat can't stand it anymore

Chapter 15 Leaving the Cat Rock Tribe
There was no condition to take a shower when going out hunting, and Yun An was all dirty. He was worried about Shen Luo going out alone, so he quickly took a shower and went with her to find the patriarch.

While he was taking a shower, Shen Luo went to the cave next door to find Mu Lian to ask some questions.

Although Mulian was shocked that Yu was a merman, she did not show any disgust towards him in front of Shen Luo.

"A Luo," Mu Lian sighed, "I was already an adult when the mermaids were exterminated. A lot of rumors spread at that time. At first, it was said that the mermaids had offended the Beast God, but gradually it became that if you get close to the mermaids, you will be rejected by the Beast God."

"But then I think it's not right. The Beast God is a god respected by all orcs. We are all his people and his children. How could he bear to hurt his own children?"

Mu Lian said a lot to Shen Luo, and it was not until Yun An came to find her that Mu Lian waved goodbye to Shen Luo.

She knew that Shen Luo's family might not be able to continue living in the Maoyan tribe.

As soon as he came out of the cave, Shen Luo keenly noticed some unfriendly and even vicious gazes.

Some orcs even rushed up to her and asked her why she wanted to choose a mermaid as her husband.

Yun An was afraid that the visitor would hurt Shen Luo, so he quickly pulled her into his arms.

Shen Luo came out of his arms and said to the visitor with a cold face: "What does it have to do with you who I choose as my beast husband? Yu saved the cubs of the tribe, but you want to execute him because of some unreliable rumors. How can this be justified in the world!"

After saying that, Shen Luo pulled Yun An and turned away. They went directly to the clan leader.

There was a cave in the tribe which was used for meetings. When Shen Luo entered, he saw the tribe leader Shi Hulu, the witch doctor Mai Yi and some old orcs in the tribe discussing something.

The Maiyi witch doctor was standing and talking to the Shihu tribe leader, and it looked like they were having an argument.

Shen Luo's arrival interrupted their argument. Mai Yi turned to look at Shen Luo, "Ah Luo Sheng Ci, why are you here?"

"Maiyi Witch Doctor," Shen Luo still respected her very much and greeted her first.

Then he said to the chief: "I want to hear how the tribe will punish the tribe member who saved the cub."

After hearing this, Chief Shihulu felt a little embarrassed.

Although Yu is a merman, the fact that she saved the cub was witnessed by everyone.

"A Luo Saintess," the chief of the Shihu tribe said after careful consideration, "I don't want to punish your beastly husband, but he is a merman..."

"So what if it's a mermaid?"

Shen Luo interrupted him, "As far as I know, the tribe has not suffered any losses due to Yu's identity, but Yu saved the tribe's cubs. Is the tribe repaying kindness with enmity?"

“Just because there is no loss now doesn’t mean there won’t be any in the future,” an old male sitting in front of a stone table patted the table. “The mermaids are disliked by the Beast God. If we associate with them, he will dislike us. What if our Maoyan tribe is implicated? I don’t want to be wiped out by lightning!”

Shen Luo curled the corners of his lips in a mocking manner, "It is said that the mermaids will bring trouble to the tribe, but I heard that when the thunder and lightning fell from the sky, the mermaids did not bring trouble to any tribe."

"The Bishui Lake used to belong to the mermaids. The mermaids did not occupy the entire lake. They allowed orcs from other tribes to catch fish and drink the water. They also saved many tribesmen who fell into the water."

"They treated you kindly, but you want to kill the last of their bloodline!"

Shen Luo said sarcastically: "You said that associating with mermaids would be rejected by the Beast God. The Beast God is a kind god. How could he reject his children because of such a small matter?"

"Besides, I am a holy female. Only tribes favored by the Beast God can have holy females. Before I was found to be a holy female, I had already formed a partnership with Yu. If the Beast God disliked mermaids, how could he have allowed me to go from having low fertility to becoming a holy female?"

Shen Luo tried to attribute the credit of her finding out the superior fertility ability to Yu. The tribe was determined to execute Yu, and she and Yun An alone could not save him.

Only if the tribe leader believes that Yu will not bring disaster to the Maoyan tribe, will he let Yu go.

Of course, this is only temporary. Shen Luo plans to go somewhere else with Yu as soon as he is released.

Chief Shihu hesitated. It is undeniable that many tribes living here have benefited from the mermaids, and the Maoyan tribe is no exception.

The average talent and ability of the mermaid orcs is much higher than that of other tribes. However, they do not bully other orcs for this reason. Instead, they help others everywhere.

This was the point of dispute between Mai Yi witch doctor and Shi Hulu tribe leader.

She is over seventy years old, but she still remembers that when she was a child, she left the tribe for fun and was chased by stray orcs. It was the mermaid who saved her.

The mermaid didn't ask her to repay the favor, but she could not forget the life-saving grace and Mai Yi always kept it in her heart.

Seeing that Chief Shihu was hesitant, Mai Yi took the opportunity to say, "Chief, since you are in a dilemma, why not release Jiaorenyu and not let him stay in the tribe?"

The old male who had just spoken retorted, "What about the cub that the Saint Female is carrying? Its father is a merman, and it is very likely that it is also a merman. It is okay to release the Mermaid Island, but we have to..."

"...want to expel me from the tribe as well."

Shen Luo took over his words.

The old male hurriedly shook his head, "That's not what I meant. The Saint Female must stay in the tribe."

"Chief," Shen Luo ignored him and spoke directly to Chief Shi Hulu, "I remember that if I want to leave the tribe, I just need to tell you."

The tribe will only unite in the face of natural disasters such as the rainy season and snowy season. If the orcs are not on good terms with each other, they will not help each other at all.

The original owner was a nobody in the Maoyan tribe. He had no natural abilities, and his fertility was low. He couldn't even catch a rabbit.

If Mulian hadn't helped her from time to time, she would have starved to death in the cave long ago.

"Holy Lady, you want to leave the tribe?!"

All the orcs present could no longer sit still. They were talking at once, and some even directly asked Shen Luo not to leave.

The holy female will give birth to cubs with more powerful talents, and they are reluctant to let Shen Luo go.

Shen Luo nodded calmly, "Yes, I want to leave the tribe."

"No," someone said hurriedly, "You are the holy female given to the Cat Rock Tribe by the Beast God. You are responsible for bearing cubs for the Cat Rock Tribe. How can you leave?"

“Chief, I have never received any favor from the tribe, so I don’t need to do anything for the tribe, and the tribe cannot force me to stay.”

Speaking of this, Shen Luo wanted to have a chat with them.

"It stands to reason that the tribe would provide for females of average fertility, but I am of high fertility and have never received any food from the tribe."

"Let me guess. You just think that my two beast husbands are not cat beastmen, so you are unwilling to provide me with food."

The cubs are generally of the same race as their father. Although the cubs born by Shen Luo belong to the Maoyan tribe, their race is not "cat tribe" after all.

Most of the people in the Cat Rock Tribe are cat orcs, and they do not want orcs of other races in the tribe to become too powerful.

Shen Luo didn't care about it before.

She had no intention of finding a beast husband in the Cat Rock Tribe, so she did not need food from the tribe.

Likewise, when she wanted to leave, the tribe had no reason to keep her.
