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

Chapter 32 Oath of Status
Ling Chengen, who had already returned to the Stone Forest tribe, was unaware of Bai Qingyu's lies. She had too many things to do and couldn't care less about the little thoughts between the two men.

Wu Zhuo landed on the ground, carrying Ling Chengen's large pot with one hand. Before he could ask what to do next, he heard Ling Chengen instruct him: "Help me put the pot over by the stone stove. Be careful, if that thing gets broken, we won't be able to cook anything."

Wu Zhuo, who was originally quite carefree, suddenly became much more gentle, carefully placing the pot on the stone stove. He even squatted down to carefully check whether he had knocked a hole in the dark, grimy thing.

Ling Chengen walked towards his cave and immediately saw Chongzhen sitting at the cave entrance, basking in the sun. Several light stones were charging at his feet, and he was leaning lazily against a large rock, his injured leg stretched out, his eyes closed, dozing off.

Ling Chengen glanced at him twice, then looked at the medicinal herbs that had already been sorted beside him. He realized that this fox was actually very meticulous and diligent. He was not a slacker and could be considered as a long-term subordinate.

Just as she was about to step into the cave, Chongzhen, who was leaning against her, suddenly spoke up: "How did the cooperation go?"

"Success will come naturally."

"Then, congratulations."

Chongzhen slowly opened his eyes. His pupils were illuminated by the rising sun in the east, reflecting a peculiar glow that disappeared in an instant.

"I also want to thank you. If you hadn't made the initial suggestion, we wouldn't be working together now."

Ling Chengen turned to look at his face and said, "To be honest, you're very quick-witted, and I'm actually quite interested in you."

"What kind of interests?" Chongzhen raised her hand to shield her eyes from the glaring sunlight, her affectionate eyes slightly narrowed. "I'm still injured, so I can't serve you."

Ling Chengen's lips twitched, and he said speechlessly, "I'm not that desperate."

Watching her furious retreating figure, Chongzhen suddenly chuckled, propped her head up with one hand, and said listlessly, "How boring. She ran away after just a few words. She's so thin-skinned. How did she manage to create such a sensational story about chasing after a male beastman before?"

A short while later, Yu Shaochen came out looking exhausted. He sat down on a rock next to him, slumped in a corner like a cat, and sighed deeply, looking utterly hopeless.

"Why are you sighing?" Chongzhen told him to sit down to the side so he wouldn't press down on the medicinal herbs.

Yu Shaochen immediately transformed back into his beast form, his two white triangular ears drooping down. He said weakly, "Su Weihua is really too difficult to deal with. He's already injured like this, how can he still cause so much trouble?"

Since waking up this morning, he first made up Su Weihua's bed, changed his animal skin skirt, helped him change his dressings, and fed him food and water... He was busy like a spinning top, but every time he wasn't paying attention, this person would hit his head against the stone bed under him.

"I told you, just ignore him and let him die."

Chongzhen felt some sympathy for Su Weihua, but not much.

“You’re not his parents, nor his child, so there’s no need to be so nice to him. If he doesn’t want to live, don’t stop him. A young male orc who has completely lost his will to live is better off dead.”

“But my wife wants to save him.” Yu Shaochen looked up at Chongzhen, whose profile was somewhat indifferent, and muttered softly, “Are you jealous of how well my wife treats Su Weihua?”

"Me? Jealous?" Chongzhen turned her head and looked straight at Yu Shaochen, snorting coldly. "He's a disfigured and disabled cripple who doesn't even know if he'll be able to take care of himself in the future. What's there to be jealous of?"

Yu Shaochen tilted his head and said suspiciously, "But I just feel like you're jealous."

“That’s just your imagination,” Chongzhen said confidently.

Chongzhen touched her cheek and suddenly laughed, "Besides, I'm not like you, just wanting to rely on Ling Chengen for a peaceful life. I have no intention of having children with her."

“You’d better remember what you said today, I’ll tell my wife,” Yu Shaochen suddenly interjected.

Chongzhen paused, then turned and glared at him: "I only want the Yaoluo tribe to be incorporated into the Stone Forest, and to help her people live a better life in the future. Romantic love... is too superficial."

Looking at Chongzhen's firm and confident expression, Yu Shaochen slumped back onto the stone, his small beast form spreading its limbs into a large "X" shape, and slowly closed its eyes.

"You are the young chieftain of the Yaoluo tribe, and now that you've married into the Shilin tribe, aren't you going to consider your former tribesmen? Doesn't that seem a bit heartless, like you're siding with outsiders?"

Chongzhen countered, "What if it were you?"

Yu Shaochen slowly swayed his tail twice and whispered, "Actually, I'm very bad. I don't like the Wuyang tribe, and I'm not the young chieftain. I have no responsibility or obligation to support the hundreds of beastmen in Wuyang."

"If my wife knew these things, would she dislike me?"

Chongzhen turned to look at the reddish-brown plush toy, and remained silent for a moment: "Are you not doing well in Wuyang?"

Yu Shaochen opened his round eyes, stared straight at the azure sky, and said slowly.

"Actually, I can't say whether it's good or bad."

“I am an orphan, a homeless orphan. After being picked up by my adoptive father, I wandered with him for several years. Then he took me to Wuyang.”

“In his first year in Wuyang, he found a partner, and then I lived with him for about half a year, and they had a baby.”

“My adoptive mother didn’t like me, so before she gave birth, she kicked me out of the house on the grounds that she couldn’t afford to raise me. I could only live in a tree in a relatively remote part of the tribe, where I built a tree nest for myself.”

“At first, I had a very difficult time because, unlike the Shilin tribe, the Wuyang tribe does not distribute the hunted prey to each household after the hunting team goes hunting, ensuring that everyone has something to eat.”

“I was less than ten years old at that time, and I had to find food myself. The Wuyang tribe distributed food about once every two weeks, and the rest of the time, I had to rely on myself.”

"Luckily, I am a small orc, and my need for meat is not high. I can fill my stomach by finding some moss, berries and leaves. Otherwise, I wouldn't be alive now."

"My life only became much easier when I suddenly gained wood-type abilities in my teens."

“There are very few superhuman beastmen in the tribe, so my adoptive parents came to find me again and often took away the berries and plants that I had worked so hard to grow from my home.”

“Every time they come to our door, they say that I am their baby’s older brother. They don’t have any special abilities and are not as strong as me. My adoptive father raised me for so many years, and they hope that I can repay them in this way.”

Chongzhen was a little surprised: "So you just let them come to your door again and again and take away your food rations, without daring to say a single harsh word?"

Yu Shaochen nodded: "I know I'm a coward, but there's nothing I can do about it. I'm really bad at fighting. Don't let my level four wood-type ability fool you. Even if it's a beastman without any special abilities, as long as they're a little bigger and more agile than me, I'm basically always the one who gets beaten up."

Hearing him say that, Chongzhen felt a little sorry for him.

"Looks like you've got quite a bit of experience getting beaten up."

Yu Shaochen nodded: "I was beaten a lot when I was a child. My adoptive father had a bad temper, especially before he found a partner. Every year around the breeding season, he would get angry over some trivial things and then beat me."

“He’s actually quite lazy. When I lived with him, I sometimes had to find food for him…”

Chongzhen suddenly frowned and said, "You're just stupid, don't you know how to run?"

Yu Shaochen tilted his head and said, "You are the young chieftain of the Yaoluo tribe, and you've never been a wandering beastman, so you wouldn't understand. It's very difficult for wandering beastmen to survive, especially for a small beastman like me who is very young and has no ability to protect myself..."

“Back then, I couldn’t sleep peacefully at night whenever I was away from my adoptive father.”

"Because I live in a tree nest, large owls will silently prey on me at night, and other large birds and beasts will attack me during the day; even if I sleep in the burrow I dug myself, many wild animals with a particularly good sense of smell will find my cave."

This time, Chongzhen remained silent for even longer.

"How miserable!"

Yu Shaochen suddenly smiled: "I think I'm quite lucky. Weak stray cubs would die quickly in the wasteland, but I survived and even lived to awaken my superpowers."

"Although my adoptive parents treated me badly, and the people in the tribe only wanted to sell me for a peaceful life, no one expected that fortune and misfortune would be intertwined, and I would meet an extremely powerful wife."

"Although my wife decided to raise me because of my special ability, I can understand her decision."

"After all, without deep emotional ties, self-interest is the motivation." "Moreover, my wife doesn't mind that my superpower is useless, so my future won't be too bad."

After listening quietly, Chongzhen couldn't help but exclaim, "You really are very lucky."

"Besides, you're not as stupid as I thought; you seem to see things quite clearly."

Yu Shaochen sat up from the rock, having fully recovered his energy. He clenched his fist in front of his chest and tried to defend himself, saying, "I'm not stupid, I'm just a coward."

"Forget it, I'm not going to talk to you anymore, you cunning old fox. I need to hurry up and build the treehouse. Otherwise, when my wife goes out, I'll have to stop working to take care of Su Weihua."

Chongzhen looked at Yu Shaochen, who was like a diligent little bee, with a thoughtful expression.

This cowardly little panda... it's impossible to say he's annoying, because his character is truly impeccable. Although he's straightforward with his emotions, he always takes care of those around him in his actions.

But if you were to say you like him... he also felt a bit disgusted that this little panda was too overly kind-hearted, regardless of whether the person was good or bad, or whether it was worth it or not, he had the same attitude towards them all.

Sigh, I really don't know how to treat him.

……

Inside the cave.

Ling Chengen looked at Su Weihua, whose head was wrapped up like a rice dumpling, and wanted to laugh for a moment, but when he met Su Weihua's wolf-like eyes, he tried to suppress his smile.

"Still thinking about killing yourself?"

Ling Chengen stood by the stone bed, looking at his demonic face, and let out a shallow sigh.

"Since you can't even commit suicide now, why don't we talk?"

Su Weihua's voice was like a broken bellows; her words were actually quite hard to understand.

Ling Chengen lowered his eyes to observe his agitated expression and the body that was bleeding from the struggle, then raised his hand and rubbed his right earlobe.

Before you came to our house, I didn't actually know much about you.

Ling Chengen glanced back at the cave, then went outside and brought in a stone. He sat on the edge of the bed, crossed his legs, and spoke slowly.

"But this shouldn't be our first meeting, and you've long been a prize set by my father, so I won't waste any more words."

"I'm keeping you alive and intending to heal you, mainly because of your abilities and your potential."

“Your father is the current chief of the Snow Wolf Tribe, right? You were crippled and disfigured. This kind of thing would never have happened without his tacit approval.”

"So, I don't think you still have any feelings of filial piety towards him."

"He harbors a grudge against our Stone Forest tribe, so sooner or later, our two tribes will have to fight each other."

"You might be able to take revenge yourself then."

“Dream on.” Su Weihua suddenly uttered two words viciously.

"Even if I were an abandoned dog, I would never help you harm my people."

Ling Chengen was a little surprised by his words; he hadn't expected him to defend the tribe that had hurt him.

"Then what was the reason you didn't try to kill yourself before my father brought you back?"

He turned his head away and didn't answer.

Ling Chengen pondered for a moment: "Your mother is in his hands?"

However, she quickly rejected the idea.

He looked up at her from outside the cave and said, "His mother died a long time ago."

Chongzhen gave her a general explanation of the unique aspects of the snow wolf race.

The orcs of the Snow Wolf tribe strictly adhere to monogamy.

Therefore, the loyalty of the Snow Wolf Beastman to his partner is beyond question.

However, this statement is not absolute.

In reality, the orcs of the Snow Wolf tribe only seek a new mate after their partner has completely died.

Su Weihua's father, the chief of the Snow Wolf tribe, had two wives.

This man had two children with his ex-wife, who died young.

During her second pregnancy, she unfortunately died in childbirth, but gave birth to a very weak female offspring.

Chongzhen ignored Su Weihua's murderous gaze and calmly analyzed the situation with Ling Chengen.

"So, his sister, who was born in a difficult childbirth, must have survived and is now in the hands of their clan chief, becoming a tool to blackmail him into suffering."

"Chongzhen, there's no need to show off how much information you know!"

"Get out-"

"cough--"

Su Weihua was extremely angry at Chongzhen for submitting to Ling Chengen so early.

What a spineless wretch!
When the four tribes formed an alliance to attack the Stone Forest tribe, he had dealt with this cunning fox and knew that he was a shrewd and quick-witted orc.

Therefore, without realizing it, he discovered a lot of inside information.

He didn't care at the time because he knew that the Yaoluo tribe was insignificant, at most just pawns. Even if they had information about the Snow Wolf tribe, they wouldn't dare to do anything to them...

Unexpectedly, the arrogance of the past has finally led to today's betrayal.

Chongzhen snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Who are you telling to get lost?"

"Su Weihua, your brain isn't working properly, I can help you clear your head."

"This is my home!"

Ling Chengen watched as the two of them started arguing for no apparent reason, and was speechless for a moment.

Hearing such an arrogant statement, she turned around and looked at Chongzhen with a puzzled expression.

Chongzhen looked back into her eyes, raised her chin defiantly, and arrogantly retorted, "Am I wrong?"

"I'm your first beast mate! This is your cave, not my home. Or is it the home of some cat or dog outside?!"
