The wicked female is extremely fierce, but she's pampered by her seven beast husbands.

Chapter 16 Forest Panda
The spoils that Ling Xiao demanded from the Wuyang tribe were not their young chieftain.

The young chieftain of the Wuyang tribe already has a partner who is more than ten years older than Ling Chengen, so Ling Xiao ruled him out from the start.

However, the Wuyang tribe has a wood-type superhuman beastman who is about the same age as Ling Chengen, named Yu Shaochen.

Yu Shaochen's beast form is a forest panda. Including his tail, his body length is only about one meter. He is the smallest beast form among the beast husbands that Ling Xiao chose for his eldest daughter.

Ling Chengen calmly jumped over the traps set up around the Wuyang tribe and chatted casually with Wu Zhuo beside him: "Do you know this Yu Shaochen?"

"Of course... I don't know him."

Wu Zhuo scratched the back of his head and said with some surprise, "The chieftain is really something. The Wuyang tribe is just a small orc tribe, even worse than the Yaoluo tribe. What good stuff could they possibly have?"

The two stepped on the tree trunk and jumped down from the tree, which was more than ten meters high, and landed in the territory of the Wuyang tribe.

As soon as they landed, two orcs wearing animal skin skirts and with bright feathers stuck in their heads leaped out of the bushes, their long, sharp wooden spikes pointing straight at their backs.

Ling Chengen and Wu Zhuo didn't even turn their heads; they simply sidestepped the attack from behind.

Wu Zhuo rushed forward alone and knocked the two of them to the ground.

Ling Chengen squatted on a fallen tree trunk, playing with a rough wooden gun, and asked, "You are the orc warriors in charge of guard duty, right? We are from the Stone Forest Tribe. I have come to collect the people you promised to hand over."

Wu Zhuo released his grip and jumped to Ling Chengen's side, looking down at the two small Wuyang tribe warriors.

One of the orcs got up from the ground, looking somewhat resentful, but under the oppressive aura emanating from Wu Zhuo and Ling Chengen, he could only say in a huff, "The chieftain instructed that he can go with you at any time. He is currently living in the treehouse behind the tribe. I will take you there."

Having probably encountered two setbacks before, the process of bringing the person this time went incredibly smoothly, making Ling Chengen feel a little unaccustomed to it.

The orcs of the Wuyang tribe led them around the tribe from the outside, fearing that their aura would frighten the females and cubs in the tribe.

Wu Zhuo curled his lip in displeasure, feeling that the Wuyang tribe was treating them like plagues.

The three of them arrived near a dense bamboo forest. The orc led them through the winding paths inside the bamboo forest for several minutes before finally stopping at a giant tree that was nearly a hundred meters tall.

Ling Chengen looked up at the giant tree with its swollen canopy covered in blue-purple flower spikes, and then, by slightly lowering his eyes, saw a very tall treehouse through the gaps in the branches.

The orc leading the way looked up and shouted, "Young Master Yu, your wife has come to fetch you."

The three of them stood under the tree for two minutes, and Wu Zhuo was getting impatient. He stepped forward and said, "Should I go up and pull him down? This Yu Shaochen is a small land beast, right? Why is he living in a treehouse tens of meters high? Does he want to die quickly enough when he falls?"

Ling Chengen kicked his shin and glared at him: "Take it easy. We finally found someone who isn't crippled, injured, or missing. They're not going to die in a little while."

Wu Zhuo thought for a moment about the young clan leader of Snake Mountain, and then fell silent.

Compared to that irresponsible, trashy snake-like orc, the Wuyang tribe, this little panda of the forest, isn't actually that bad.

Ling Chengen was very patient, looking around at his surroundings as he waited.

The place where Yu Shaochen lives has a really nice environment.

Compared to the area where the Wuyang tribe orcs lived, this place was much safer and quieter, surrounded by flowers and grasses, and low shrubs covered with sweet berries.

Seeing that Ling Chengen was looking at the nearby bushes and the bamboo forest that was tens of meters tall, the orc took the initiative to introduce them.

"Shaochen is one of only two wood-type beastmen in our tribe. Unlike other wood-type warriors, he is not good at fighting and his ability level is not high. He mainly uses his ability to grow arrow bamboo and berries. All the plants here were grown by him."

Ling Chengen nodded, but didn't respond to his words. Instead, she suddenly turned to look at the trunk of the giant tree. Her gaze locked onto one spot.

After a long while, a reddish-brown, round-faced panda slowly peeked out from behind the tree trunk, its round, black eyes looking timidly at the three people on the ground.

Wu Zhuo muttered a curse under his breath, then quickly covered his mouth and looked at Ling Chengen beside him.

But his inner emotions were incredibly complex.

No wonder he swore; the chieftain really understands the weaknesses of females, finding such an adorable creature to be his sister En's beast mate.

Even if Sister En is a tough and ruthless woman, she can't resist such an adorable little panda!
It's all over, it's all over—

If he looked at her a few more times, he would be so charmed by this adorable little devil that his heart would skip a beat.

"Come down."

Ling Chengen was hardly like a female; she remained expressionless in the face of such an adorable creature, speaking calmly to the little panda in the tree.

The little panda was incredibly obedient. It slowly twisted its body and climbed down from the tree, landing behind the trunk and transforming into human form. It then took out the animal skin skirt from the tree hole, put it on neatly, and finally came out.

The boy who emerged from the shade of the trees had short, slightly wavy chestnut hair and skin so white it seemed to be on a different level from theirs. His eyes were round with pure black irises, but one glance at them would draw all your attention to his quiet, bright eyes.

She wasn't as tall as Wu Zhuo, but she was still a little over 1.7 meters tall. She looked extremely elegant and beautiful, like a dreamy tree spirit from Western mythology.

"Is everything ready?"

Ling Chengen only glanced at it twice before snapping back to reality. He looked up at the sun, estimating that it was getting late and it was time to prepare for hunting and lunch.

Yu Shaochen nodded, then suddenly stopped and turned back: "Wait a minute."

He lowered the leather bag from the tree hole with a rope, but he hadn't taken it out yet.

Ling Chengen followed him directly and saw him squatting in front of the tree hole, his face full of effort, pulling at the large bundle inside the tree hole. He said speechlessly, "Why is your bundle so big?"

"Is it big?" Yu Shaochen squatted on the ground, scratched his ear a little embarrassedly, and said in a very soft tone, "I have a lot of things at home. Since the Shilin tribe is very far from here, I thought I would move everything over there at once to save time from running back and forth."

Ling Chengen grabbed his shoulder with one hand, lifted him aside, and smashed the wooden doorway with a slap.

She quickly enlarged the tree hole to twice its original size, then bent down, grabbed a corner of the bundle, and pulled the large package out without much effort.

Yu Shaochen watched her actions in shock, silently rubbing his shoulder which was a little sore from being grabbed, and dared not utter a sound.

His wife's strength is really... amazing!

Another day of envying large orcs.

Why is he the only cowardly little panda?!
Ling Chengen tossed the package into his arms: "Can we go now?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a thud was heard.

Ling Chengen looked up and, good heavens! That curly-haired kid had actually been flattened by his own bundle!
The area under the tree became eerily quiet for a moment.
