"So, you want me to steal her Beast Husbands and tear them apart from the inside?"

Feng Qingqing gave the man a strange look. She never expected that someone who appeared so respectable could have such vicious intentions.

"Didn’t you want to steal those good-looking men for yourself before? Isn’t this exactly what you wanted?"

He produced a handkerchief from somewhere, wiped the spot she had touched, and continued, "If you succeed, you’ll also get the method for Beastification. So, do you agree or not?"

"But I don’t think I’m that charming." Feng Qingqing frowned, thinking of their attitudes toward her.

"You’re quite self-aware. But I have something that can help you."

A pouch suddenly appeared in Jiang Li’s palm. He handed it to Feng Qingqing and continued, "This. Keep it on you, and it will make male Beastmen unconsciously fall in love with you."

Feng Qingqing took it dubiously. "Alright, I’ll give it a try."

"If I succeed, don’t forget what you promised."

Jiang Li nodded confidently. "I won’t."

In just a few words, he had stirred up considerable trouble for Chu Liangyu. It had to be said that Jiang Li was truly a difficult person to deal with.

The blizzard gradually subsided, seeming as if it might stop. The people of the Xihe Tribe couldn’t help but show relaxed smiles.

"The snow has let up. It’ll be much easier for us to walk now."

"Yeah, the Elder said we should arrive in another three days."

"I wonder what the new tribe will be like. I hope it’s better than the old one."

"It will be."

As they spoke, the group’s pace didn’t slow in the slightest. In fact, it seemed to speed up a little.

They were full of anticipation for their new home, and their previous grievances had long since vanished.

And so, they traveled swiftly for three days...

As it happened, just as Chu Liangyu and her companions returned to the riverbank in the overgrown forest, the sound of noisy chatter reached their ears.

"Are you sure this is the place?"

"Feng Qiwu wouldn’t dare joke about something like this. Let’s just keep going."

The towering Elephant Clan people formed a line at the front to clear a path. At a glance, it looked like a small mountain was moving toward them.

Her Guardian Spirit kept rubbing against Chu Liangyu’s hand. She soothed it slightly and said, "They’re our own people. Let them pass."

’Right.’ Without anyone to guide them from the air, the group could only wander aimlessly through the overgrown forest.

The little creature immediately began to glow. The weeds, as if they had received a command, parted to the sides, clearing a clean, unobstructed path for the crowd.

They didn’t know why this was happening and grew vigilant out of instinct.

By then, Chu Liangyu had already emerged from the water and was standing quietly at the path’s exit, waiting.

Hu Qiumu and the other two were leading the way at the front, and they spotted Chu Liangyu at first glance.

"Female Master!"

"Female Master!"

"Female Master!"

The three calls of "Female Master"—one excited, one happy, one aggrieved—made Chu Liangyu’s serene expression freeze.

’What has gotten into these three?’

Under her detached gaze, the trio’s ardent hearts gradually cooled.

The three of them looked at each other, sensing that something was off.

Whether it was the pride in her eyes or the powerful aura she now exuded, she was a far cry from the person they remembered.

It seemed that every time they met her, she gave them a different feeling. And... she was increasingly making them feel as if she were the bright moon in the sky, while they were mere fireflies of the mortal world.

This huge disparity made them feel exceptionally conflicted. Even someone as blunt as Xiong Xianhui spoke with a new note of respect, "Female Master, can you take us to the new tribe to get settled now?"

The Chu Liangyu of today no longer needed to rely on their pitiful sympathy to ensure her own growth, so she paid little mind to the change in them.

She nodded. Her voice, neither loud nor soft, reached every person’s ears. "Follow me."

"The houses have already been built for you. You can discuss it amongst yourselves and move in directly."

They hadn’t expected their clan chief to be so thoughtful. Blushes crept up their faces, and as they watched Chu Liangyu’s back, their eyes seemed to well up with tears.

It was truly worth braving the blizzard to get here. This trip was worth it.

Yu He, knowing this was a chance to make a good impression, immediately added, "In our spare time, we also prepared some winter food. You won’t have to worry about having nothing to eat for a while."

"Really? That’s wonderful!"

"We were right to follow the clan chief!"

Two decisions Chu Liangyu had made on a whim had indirectly helped her win the people’s hearts. This was something she hadn’t expected.

As it turned out, Yu He’s big mouth had perfect timing. The corners of Chu Liangyu’s eyes crinkled with a smile, and she praised him, "Not bad."

Yu He stared at Chu Liangyu in disbelief. This was the first time she had ever praised him!

With a cough, a blush gradually crept onto Yu He’s face, making him seem like a completely different person from the scheming Mermaid he was.

"Here, take this back."

Rummaging through her Storage Bracelet, Chu Liangyu found his Life Scale and casually tossed it to him.

The move was so sudden that Yu He instinctively caught it without even seeing what it was.

When he finally saw what was in his hand, he was overwhelmed by a sense of unreality.

"You’re really willing to give it back to me?"

This was the very thing he had been longing to get back, but now that he had it, he wasn’t as happy as he’d imagined.

Chu Liangyu shot him a look as if he were an idiot.

The thing was already in his hand, yet he was still asking her about it. She couldn’t even be bothered to answer.

Even though Chu Liangyu had been away, the tribe remained neat and orderly. Despite several days of heavy snow, there was no snow buildup in the village.

The massive procession was inevitably a bit loud, and those who heard the noise from inside their houses came out.

"Sister Liangyu, you’re finally back! I missed you so much!"

The moment she saw Chu Liangyu, Xiong Jiaojiao cried out and clung to her.

"Yes, I’m back. And I have something for you." Pausing, Chu Liangyu glanced at the crowd behind her and added, "Arrange the housing among yourselves. If you don’t understand something, you can ask Yu He."

After saying this, Chu Liangyu pulled Xiong Jiaojiao into the house.

"Here are the clothes I promised you. See if they fit."

"Anything from Sister Liangyu is sure to fit."

After changing into the clothes, Xiong Jiaojiao immediately stopped feeling the cold.

The pale yellow dress complemented the young girl, making her look lively and nimble—as pretty as a butterfly.

"Yes, it suits you very well."

Xiong Jiaojiao happily twirled around a few times. It took a long while for her to calm down.

"Oh, right. Sister Liangyu, I have something to tell you."

The cheerful little girl’s expression suddenly turned serious. Chu Liangyu said "Oh?" and prompted, "What is it? Go ahead."

Pausing for a moment, Xiong Jiaojiao chose her words carefully. "Two days ago, three cubs suddenly appeared in the tribe. They were covered in wounds and said they were your cubs, so I’ve been taking care of them."

"I asked more questions later. I think it’s your tenth Beast Husband."

’It’s Ye Han. So not only did that guy fail to die, he actually has the nerve to come here and vex me.’

’But... since they’ve delivered themselves to my doorstep, he’d better not regret it.’
