The wicked female is extremely fierce, but she's pampered by her seven beast husbands.
Chapter 50 A Family Amidst a Messy Tale
Chapter 50 A Family of Dramatic Idiots
The captured young Snow Wolf tribe orc is named Said, and his beast form is a Quenantan Forest Wolf.
The Snow Wolf Tribe and the Cold Mountain Tribe are somewhat similar. Both are tribes established with wolf-like beastmen at their core.
The majority of orcs in the tribe are snow wolves, but they have also accepted some non-snow wolf orcs.
However, these orcs who were not purebred snow wolves could never occupy a leadership position in the tribe and were always in a state of being dominated.
The Quenyarsk Forest were once a large tribe in the eastern forests of the Northern Wilderness hundreds of years ago. Later, a conflict with a neighboring large tribe resulted in the loss of many orcs and their original habitat.
Therefore, since that battle, in most areas west of the central North Wasteland, any tribe that accepted wandering orcs could see orcs from the Quenan Forest Wolf Clan to some extent.
Even the Shilin tribe has quite a few.
Said's beast-like fur is dark brown, and its body is over three meters long. It runs very fast in mountainous and forest environments. Its main responsibility is to guard the territory of the Snow Wolf tribe and drive away dangerous elements that want to approach the tribe.
Therefore, he, who was the first to catch up with Ling Chengen and Bai Xi, also became the unluckiest one.
After Ling Chengen effortlessly pulled the arrow out of his left calf, he let out a painful howl before falling silent under the other man's intensely intimidating gaze.
“Since you don’t want to run anymore, let’s talk.” Ling Chengen flicked the blood off the arrow, casually put it back into the quiver, and stuck the bone blade in his hand into the ground in front of him. “I’m not interested in your life. I only captured you to find out some things.”
"If you tell the truth, I will naturally put you back after I finish asking the questions."
“But if you lie… I won’t kill you. At most, I’ll just replicate what your Snow Wolf tribe did to Su Weihua on you.”
Ling Chengen spoke calmly, but his words sent chills down Saide's spine.
"What do you want to know?" Said, his back against the cold blue rock, looked at her with a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Is it true that Su Weihua has a younger sister?"
Seeing that she didn't ask about the tribe's core secrets, Saide secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded and said, "It's true."
"The previous chieftain's wife gave birth to two children. One is Chief Su, and the other cub is female. However, the female cub was too weak. The shaman at the time said that she would not live to adulthood, so he advised the chieftain and his family to abandon the cub and throw her into the Red Rock Ravine to fend for herself."
"In the end, the young Chief Su took her back to the vicinity of the tribe and secretly raised her in a tree hole. By the time the chiefs found her, the cub was already several months old, so they took the child back to the tribe. However, the child was weak and sickly, especially after the chief formed a mate with another female, and they never cared for her again."
Said hoped that these trivial topics would distract Ling Chengen and buy him some time.
Ling Chengen was clearly getting impatient after listening to two parts. He rubbed the hilt of the bone blade with his fingertips, lowered his brows, and asked in a cold voice, "I'm not interested in how she survived."
"I just want to ask, how is Su Weihua's sister doing now? Is she still in the Snow Wolf Tribe? Where exactly is she living in the Snow Wolf Tribe?"
Ling Chengen's three direct and crucial questions caught Saide off guard.
He subtly pursed his lips, his gaze drifting unnaturally to one side before returning to his original position, calming his fluctuating emotions, and replied firmly, "The person is still in the tribe."
"But the situation is not good."
Ling Chengen, his eyelids drooping, pulled the bone blade stuck in the ground, his voice as soft and ghostly as a whisper: "Do you know that when people lie, they usually have some subconscious little movements?"
The moment she lifted her eyelashes, the bone blade pierced straight into Said's eye, stopping abruptly just one centimeter from his pupil.
Saide's pupils suddenly contracted, becoming as small as a grain of rice. His body tensed up, his head and back pressed tightly against the green rock. He was so frightened that he held his breath and dared not move an inch.
Ling Chengen tilted his head, looking at his terrified expression, and whispered with a devilish smile: "I'll give you a chance to rephrase your words. If you lie again next time you open your mouth, I'll gouge out your left eye."
Saide's jawline tightened, her Adam's apple bobbed twice with tension, and her fingers clenched together behind her back. She didn't even dare to blink until she sheathed her blade.
Ling Chengen slowly lowered the bone blade, the tip of which rested against his thigh.
“I don’t know where she is. When the young clan leader was imprisoned, she was planning to secretly release him, but the people in the clan discovered it.”
"The chieftain ordered her to be whipped thirty times and banished from the tribe."
"So whether she's alive or dead, I really don't know."
Ling Chengen twirled the bone blade in her hand. Fearing she might lash out in anger, Saide quickly said, "But I know who threw her out of the tribe."
He doesn't want to die here.
Although Ling Chengen said he wouldn't kill him, he would definitely torture him.
He is still young, with a partner and children at home. If he loses his eyes, or has his limbs and spine broken like the young chieftain... his family will be finished.
The mate will find another male orc, and his children will be abandoned. If he's lucky, they'll survive; if he's unlucky... they might not even make it through this winter.
Ling Chengen stood up and sheathed the bone blade back into his waistband: "Was that person also from the guard team?"
“Yes.” Saide closed his eyes, looked up at Ling Chengen, “The Snow Wolf Tribe shows no mercy to traitors. If I tell you who drove Su Duo away, I will be hanged tomorrow.”
Ling Chengen looked at his chest, which was heaving violently due to his emotional fluctuations, and his slightly pale lips: "So?"
“I’ll help you lure them out, but you have to help me leave the Snow Wolf tribe and stop them from hunting down my family.”
Ling Chengen stood beneath him, scrutinizing him from above, while also pondering whether to accept the condition.
Bai Xi sat cross-legged on a nearby rock, resting her chin on her hand, looking at her curiously: "I don't think his request is excessive."
Ling Chengen glanced at him sideways: "Do you think it's easy to get his family out of the Snow Wolf Tribe? You even have to help him solve the Snow Wolf Tribe's hunting problem. This after-sales service is going to take a while."
Her first thought was that it wasn't worth it.
Moreover, all this was done just to get an ambiguous answer. As for where Su Duo went after leaving the Snow Wolf Tribe, no one knows.
Bai Xi was also clever and teased, "But Su Duo is Su Weihua's younger sister, and he practically raised her from childhood. If you really don't take care of this, Su Weihua probably won't be willing to let you control him." Ling Chengen raised an eyebrow and said, "Given his current state, it's hard to say whether he'll ever recover."
"Then what about all the dangers you took hunting snakes and lizards for him, and all the times you asked witch doctors to help treat him? Was it just being overly kind? Wouldn't it have been better to just throw him out of the Stone Forest and let him fend for himself, and then you wouldn't have to worry about his sister's mess anymore?"
Ling Chengen sighed softly: "I just wanted to gamble on a possibility."
Her goal was not just to conquer the small area of Shilin. If you include the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, the population of Shilin is just over 500, which can only be considered a small to medium-sized tribe in the central region.
Therefore, population expansion is imperative so that she can attract more available manpower.
Of the three men in the family, Su Weihua is the most capable fighter if she is in good health.
She had assessed Chongzhen's strength; a level six earth-type character focused on defense, making him unsuitable as a general leading a team into battle.
Metal-type abilities are inherently more aggressive, and since Su Weihua is from the Snow Wolf Clan, her combat strength is only slightly inferior to that of the Tiger Clan.
As long as she can make him wholeheartedly obey her orders and become her most obedient weapon, what do these current costs matter?
Therefore, compared to Chongzhen and Yu Shaochen, her attention was actually more focused on Su Weihua.
After all, finding someone to replace Su Weihua is not an easy task.
First, combat strength alone can eliminate most orcs; second, this person must have a close relationship with her.
Moreover, you can't see into someone's heart. The probability of finding a strong general who can lead troops into battle and never betrays or complains is extremely small.
She had absolutely no hope for her terrible luck.
Instead of indulging in such unrealistic dreams, it would be better to wait for her to be reincarnated, perhaps as the daughter of a beast god, or a child of heaven.
Bai Xi didn't understand the gambling dog's thoughts, and only said thoughtfully, "So, are you going to agree or not? Don't dawdle. The beastmen of the Snow Wolf Tribe have a very strong tracking ability. If you delay any longer, they might really come looking for you by smell."
“Let’s do it.” Ling Chengen picked up Saide from the ground and asked, “I’m still not entirely at ease letting you go back like this. What if you team up with the Snow Wolf tribe’s orcs to set a trap for me? Wouldn’t I be finished?”
Saide tried to say something, but Ling Chengen casually tossed him a small black pill before he could even spit it out; the pill slid directly down his esophagus.
"What did you feed me?"
"What else could it be? Poison, of course." Ling Chengen released his grip, observing his constantly changing expression with interest. "Don't worry, you won't die anytime soon. As long as you complete the mission, I'll give you the antidote."
"Tonight, you lure him out. After I finish questioning him, I'll throw him back. As for how and when your family leaves the Snow Wolf Tribe, that's up to you. I'll send someone to pick you up."
Seeing her turn to leave, Said asked, "Are you just going to leave like this? What if the people in the tribe find out I'm not coming back?"
Ling Chengen: "Su Duo's news is more important to me than your life or your family's life."
Said: "..." The Snow Wolf Tribe's hatred for these arrogant and sharp-tongued tigers is not without reason.
“I’ll take him to the woods where you caught me today. How will we find you then?” Said helped Qingyan to his feet.
"I will naturally appear in front of you after you leave the Snow Wolf Tribe's guarded area." Ling Chengen didn't reveal too much to him. As for whether he believed her or not, that wasn't her concern. Anyway, if he really changed his mind at the last minute, she wouldn't suffer any loss.
Bai Xi turned around and looked at the several rapidly approaching figures below the hill: "The Snow Wolf Clan is here."
Ling Chengen jumped onto his back, and the two of them, one human and one crane, took off into the air in front of more than a dozen howling snow wolves, and eventually disappeared.
Ling Chengen used his bone blade to knock away an arrow, then looked down at the male orc holding a large bow with a cold gaze, raised an eyebrow and murmured, "Who's that archer?"
Bai Xi glanced down and snorted coldly, "Who else could it be but Su Weihua's younger brother, Su Liwen?"
"He was two years younger than Su Weihua. Ambeya was actually the former lover of Su Kang, the chief of the Snow Wolf Clan, but at that time Su Kang was not yet the chief of the Snow Wolf Clan, but just a marginal figure without any background."
"His former lover followed the arrangements of her elders and became mates with a powerful Quenyam forest wolf-orc, but not long after, the orc was killed by a bad beast while hunting, leaving behind Bea, who was pregnant at the time."
"Although Su Kang has always said that he only really reconnected with Bea's partner after her death, it is obvious to everyone that Sullivan is his and Bea's illegitimate son, because his beast form is very similar to Su Kang's, even the gray-brown cross-shaped white line on his chest is exactly the same."
"And Sullivan has none of the characteristics of a Queinian Timberwolves."
"When my father was talking about the Snow Wolf Tribe, he said that the death of that Quenan Forest Wolf Beastman was also very suspicious. Maybe it was because of Su Kang's scheme that he was attacked and killed by inferior beasts."
"Su Kang is very fond of Bea, his later partner, and also dotes on Sullivan, his nominal stepson. Even when the candidates for the young chieftain of the Snow Wolf Clan were being selected years ago, he clearly expressed his preference for Sullivan."
"However, Su Weihua's talent and strength far surpassed that of this illegitimate son, so in the end he still obtained the position of young clan leader."
"Su Kang and Su Weihua had a very bad relationship. This was not only because Su Kang abandoned Su Duo and immediately found a new lover after his mother died."
"Su Kang may have been influenced by something in his early years, and he is very concerned about his bloodline. In recent years, other tribes have been absorbing some powerful wandering beastmen, but the Snow Wolf Tribe has gone against the grain. The number of non-Snow Wolf beastmen they expel each year is even more than the number of beastmen they absorb."
"Su Weihua opposed Su Kang's approach, so the father and son had several conflicts. But Su Kang is still in charge of the Snow Wolf Tribe, so Su Weihua can only help arrange places for the expelled orcs, and can't do anything else."
"It is foreseeable that if Su Weihua successfully takes over the position of clan leader from Su Kang, Su Kang's previous ideas on governing the clan will definitely be overturned on a large scale. Therefore, Su Kang should have been dissatisfied with this eldest son for a long time, and may even have had the intention to kill him."
Otherwise, she wouldn't have allowed her clansmen to humiliate and bully her eldest son like this.
Ling Chengen sat behind Bai Xi, listening attentively to his gossip. He stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "Why does this routine sound so familiar?"
A scumbag who rose from humble beginnings to the top, a beautiful and delicate woman who was always coveted, and an innocent and pitiful wife.
A favored illegitimate son, a handsome, powerful, and tragic eldest son, and an abandoned, sickly daughter.
I don't know how to complain, but the Snow Wolf Clan Chief and his family have really mastered the tropes of melodramatic novels!
In this grand and lively melodramatic family drama, what is she?
An ordinary, handsome, strong, and tragic male supporting character who ends up being taken care of?
Damn!
