Chapter 8 Conspiracy loudly
Ling Chengen pulled Ling Xiao a little further away, thanked the other tribe members, and said with a smile, "Father, you should quickly divide the prey. As for whether Chongzhen should stay or leave, let him decide for himself."

Looking at his eldest daughter who wasn't worried at all, Ling Xiao was a little confused about her thoughts: "Aren't you worried that he'll just go back with the Yaoluo tribe?"

Ling Chengen tore off a large piece of the roast chicken that had been prepared earlier and handed it to him: "So what if he goes back? It's not like I'll lose a piece of meat without him. It's late, Father, hurry up and finish this so we can have dinner."

Ling Xiao, a little dazed, pinched the meat and threw it into his mouth. He was still wondering whether Chong Zhen should stay or leave, but he was instantly overwhelmed by the delicious taste in his mouth and immediately turned his head to look at Ling Chengen, who was squatting by the fire and busy.

"Is this barbecue? Why does it look different from the barbecue you made before?"

Ling Chengen said helplessly, "Can't I even make some progress?"

Ling Xiao sniffed the oily scent on his fingertips in shock, nodded, and said, "You've not just made some progress, you've been directly possessed by the Beast God, haven't you?"

"Yes, yes, yes, the Beast God has possessed me, hurry up, I'm hungry."

Ling Chengen didn't want to continue talking about this topic. She was really hungry. The chicken she ate at noon felt like it was barely filling her teeth. She had been busy for so long and still hadn't been able to eat dinner. She was really going to lose her temper soon.

Ling Xiao stopped worrying about Chongzhen's problem and started drooling over the fragrant roasted meat next to him. He clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go and divide it right away."

Their tribe brought back quite a lot of prey today, and with the batch sent over by the Yaoluo tribe, it's going to be a bit complicated to sort them out; it'll take some time.

At this moment, Ling Xiao just wanted to eat the delicious roasted meat as soon as possible, and he led the tribe's warriors to divide the prey on the spot.

Not far away, on a rocky beach by the stream, the Chong family father and son sat together, talking in hushed tones.

Looking at Chongzhen's re-bandaged leg wound and pale face, Chongguang said guiltily, "Zhen, it's your father's fault for causing you to become like this."

Chongzhen leaned back on the rock, a thin layer of sweat beading on his forehead from the pain, but his expression remained calm as he said, "Father, this is not your fault, it was my own choice."

"Moreover, although Ling Chengen's words are very sharp, what she said is indeed true. Staying in the Shilin tribe is the best choice for me, both for myself and for the tribe."

“If they trade me for prey, the children and elders in the tribe will go hungry, and even if I survive, my leg may not heal.”

Chongzhen sleeps for long periods during the day, but he is not completely unconscious.

The wound on his leg had become infected and ulcerated. The shaman of the Stone Forest tribe first removed the rotten flesh from his leg and used his wood-based supernatural abilities to complete the basic treatment before applying the medicine again.

Although the Yaoluo tribe also has two orcs with wood-type abilities, one is a ten-year-old cub and the other is an elderly witch doctor.

I only learned the basics of healing techniques for the cubs, which is far from enough.

The old shaman of the Yaoluo tribe, lacking a lineage, developed healing techniques that were only moderately effective.

In addition, the witch doctor's powers were very weak. Faced with such a life-threatening injury, even after exhausting his powers, he could only temporarily keep him alive.

The witch doctor's powers have not yet been restored, so he is unable to perform a second treatment.

Chongguang was still unwilling to give up. Chongzhen was his most proud son. Not only was he good-looking, but he was also the smartest. As he grew up, he had already become the strongest fighter in the tribe.

If it weren't for the encounter with a horde of vicious beasts a few days ago, Chongzhen wouldn't have almost lost his life while covering his people's escape.

“Chongzhen, come back with us. You are the future of our tribe.”

Chongguang's back was somewhat hunched. He was his only child. If he stayed in the Shilin tribe to be Ling Chengen's beast-tamer, what future would he have?

Chongzhen lowered his eyelashes. After a long while, he looked back at Ling Chengen, who was squatting by the fire in the distance, and the Stone Forest tribe beastmen who were busily dividing their prey. A bigger plan slowly formed in his mind.

“I will not go back.” Chongzhen’s gentle voice became extremely firm at this moment. He reached out and held Chongguang’s hand. “Father, I have an idea.”

“I met Ling Chengen today, and she’s not as vicious as the rumors say. Besides, becoming her beast husband isn’t so unbearable compared to what I’ll be doing later. Let me give it a try.”

Chongguang listened intently to his plan, his expression growing increasingly hesitant. Finally, he asked uncertainly, "What you're saying... will it work?"

Chongzhen raised her eyes, her slightly upturned eyes still tinged with a sickly red, but her black pupils became extremely bright: "It can be done. Even if it's just for the sake of the cubs in the tribe, I will try."

Unable to dissuade the stubborn Chongzhen, Chongguang could only dejectedly lead the tribe's warriors back to the tribe under the cover of night.

Once the rocky beach had calmed down, Chongzhen looked back at the three jubilant fathers and daughters not far away, and then touched the wound on her leg.

When he looked up again, someone was already standing beside him. Ling Chengen looked down at him quietly and said calmly, "You have quite a few ideas, wanting the Yaoluo tribe to merge into the Shilin tribe."

Chongzhen looked up, her pupils shrinking slightly: "You heard that?"

Ling Chengen gazed intently and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you. My special ability is mental power. If I want, I can detect any movement within a certain range."

"Mental power?" Chongzhen stared in shock at her clean, sharp jawline. "I've never heard of such a superpower before."

The superpowers on the Beast Plains are divided into five categories: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Metal-type abilities are relatively rare. Orcs living near mines are more likely to obtain metal-type abilities bestowed by the Beast God. They have strong attack power, but also consume a lot of energy.

Wood-type abilities are relatively rare, and they can be categorized into two directions: healing and attack. Most beastmen with wood-type abilities develop towards the attack direction, while only a few with inherited wood-type abilities develop towards the healing direction.

However, the inheritance of medical skills is extremely rare in the Beast Plains, especially in their Northern Beast Plains.

He possesses earth-based abilities, which are not strong in attack but have decent defense. However, his ability level is not high, currently only level six.

Ling Xiao's fire-type ability has always been said to be level 10, but after this tribal war, they speculate that Ling Xiao's true ability is close to the maximum level.

Seeing his puzzled expression, Ling Chengen directly used his mental power to access his mind and casually greeted him.

A thunderous voice resounded in Chongzhen's mind. He subconsciously raised his hand to cover his forehead and felt a sharp pain.

Ling Chengen could only immediately withdraw his mental energy and chuckled, "Your mental domain is very weak. I haven't even said anything yet, and you're already starting to have a headache."

After saying that, Ling Chengen scooped him up and said smugly, "Alright, go ahead and think about it. My father and the others are waiting for you to have dinner together."

Chongzhen pressed his body against her back, his arms around her shoulders, and asked in a low voice, "Since you heard it, I won't hide it from you anymore. Do you think it's feasible for the Yaoluo tribe to merge into the Stone Forest?"

Ling Chengen carried him steadily forward, saying unhurriedly, "Whether it's feasible or not depends on how hard the Yaoluo tribe tries."

"What do you mean?"

Ling Chengen countered, "If you were in my position, and a small tribe that had nothing and was a burden wanted to be protected and incorporated to receive more resources, would you easily agree?"

Do you think I'm the beast god worshipped by your tribe? So selfless and loving?

Chongzhen locked her neck with his arm: "Is there absolutely no possibility?"

“Yes.” Ling Chengen tilted his head slightly and said with a smirk, “But why should I tell you the answer? Think about it yourself! Anyway, you can’t do anything right now, and you’re just lying around all day. You can think about it when you have nothing to do.”

"I have only one principle: I don't accept useless trash around me."

Chongzhen looked at her clean earlobes and her full, red lips in the firelight, and lowered his eyes slightly.

"The beastmen of the Yaoluo tribe are small in stature and are at a natural disadvantage in hunting. No matter how much they train, they can't be as brave and skilled in battle as the beastmen of your tribe."

Ling Chengen placed him on a rock, reached out and pinched his chin, forcing him to look up at him.

She leaned slightly closer, her lips curving into a smile, and whispered like a demon descended to earth.

Warm breaths wafted onto his nose and lips in the cool spring night.

Her eyes held an unfathomable depth and danger, yet they instantly captivated him, leaving him speechless and unaware of his presence.

"Is your brain made of elm wood?"

"Everyone has something they are good at in this world."

"Combat effectiveness is not the only criterion for judging whether a person is useful."

"Do you understand now, you silly fox?"

It's been a long time since I've written a romance novel, and I've finally found some atmosphere by the end of this chapter.
