My Co-renting Lady Boss

Chapter 2121: Chapter 2117: There’s Nothing Wrong with Suffering a Loss

"What are you showing off for? Isn’t it just a bowl of porridge you gave me? I’m new here, so I won’t bother with a beauty like you. Once you see what I’m capable of, I’ll make you call me daddy in bed."

Tang Ming thought to himself, but he kept his mouth shut, following closely behind Hu Mei’er as he observed the tribe in this Wilderness.

The tribe was very rundown, somewhat like the uncivilized people from history books, yet among these busy people in the wild tribe, their strength was quite formidable. Tang Ming even spotted a few burly men who were not weaker than himself.

"Hu Mei’er requests to see the Elder."

Hu Mei’er pushed open a gate made of fences and respectfully stood beside an old man with a white beard.

The old man with a white beard was different from the other people in the tribe; he wore plain clothes and leaned on a cane. He looked at Hu Mei’er and Tang Ming who followed behind her.

Great Elder Hu Tu coughed, "Come in. Is this the young man your Demon Hunting Team rescued last night?"

"Yes, Great Elder, I completed the task you entrusted to me. Mei’er will take her leave now."

Hu Mei’er turned and walked outside the yard, and Tang Ming’s gaze followed her figure as she gradually disappeared.

"Stop staring, even though Mei’er lost her husband, she’s not someone you can leer at. So, tell me, who exactly are you, and why did you faint in the Desolate Forest? Do you know, if it weren’t for the people of our Lingwei tribe finding you, you would have been food for the Desert Beasts."

Hu Tu’s voice was hoarse and deep, full of an ancient aura.

Tang Ming looked at his wise eyes and fell silent for a moment, "Do you believe me if I say I don’t know why I appeared here?"

Tang Ming didn’t want to deceive the one who saved his life.

Unexpectedly, Hu Tu nodded, "You’re not lying. But that’s not enough. If you want to stay in our tribe, you must prove you can bring benefits, not disaster."

"What do you mean by benefits? Food? I’m quite good at hunting, but old man, I won’t be staying in your tribe forever; I have very important things to do."

Tang Ming felt he needed to make things clear with Hu Tu, so at least they could part on good terms.

"Boy, do you know who you’re talking to? Show a bit of respect."

A burly man came in from outside, carrying a large wild boar on his shoulder.

The wild boar was thrown into the yard with a thud.

Gradually, several more burly men came in from outside carrying dead Desert Beasts. Seeing Tang Ming and the burly man on the brink of conflict.

Great Elder Hu Tu coughed, "Xiao Wu, I’m just an old fool. What’s respect or lack of respect?"

Hu Tu walked up to Hu Wu, then pointed to the wild boar on the ground with sharp tusks, "See this thing? My requirements aren’t high, two tusked wild boars, and you’ll have repaid our Lingwei tribe for saving your life. How does that sound?"

"Alright, it’s settled then."

Tang Ming nodded and left Hu Tu’s yard, watched by the Demon Hunting Team of the Lingwei tribe.

Hu Tu watched Tang Ming’s departing back and coughed again, "The usual rule, divide the food into three parts. One part is stored, one is sent to cook, and the last part goes to Master Lingwei."

"Dad, this boy doesn’t have the aura of an Immortal Cultivator and isn’t the legendary Demon Cultivator. Judging by his body, he’s more like a Desert Beast that’s taken human form. I said to kill him yesterday, but you wouldn’t let me. Look at how arrogant he is."

Hu Wu’s knife slashed at the head of the tusked wild boar, its head fell with a sound, and blood flowed out. The cook quickly ran over to catch the dark red boar blood in a vessel.

"What do you know? Judging by that boy’s dress, he’s not ordinary. Yesterday’s Desert Beasts’ rampage with flashes of lightning and thunder, and he just happened to faint in the Desolate Forest. Maybe last night’s event was stirred up by him."

Hu Tu’s words startled Hu Wu, and the several burly men standing behind him burst out with fierce fighting spirit.

The demon hunters in the Wilderness yearned to become stronger and worshiped powerful beings.

If Tang Ming really was the one who caused such a celestial phenomenon, then he must be a very formidable presence.

Such a person remaining in a small tribe like Lingwei is odd; not staying would make more sense.

And Tang Ming’s attitude also indicates that he’s not a weakling.

"I can’t sit still; I have to test his strength."

Hu Wu turned around and headed out of the yard.

An elder from the Demon Hunting Team, holding a smoking pipe, came to Hu Tu’s side, "You’re letting Hu Wu mess around. If that boy really is linked to the celestial phenomenon, Hu Wu is likely to suffer greatly this time."

"Suffering a bit isn’t a bad thing; he’s suffered too little, and that’s why he’s grown into this personality. It’s better he suffer now than suffer after climbing the Immortal Mountain."

Hu Tu sighed deeply, and the elder nodded thoughtfully.

After Tang Ming left Hu Tu’s yard, he realized the old man didn’t arrange a place for him to stay.

After circling the Lingwei tribe, he eventually returned to the stone house where Hu Mei’er lived.

Hu Mei’er’s place could be said to be the most rundown in the entire Lingwei tribe.

The woman had disheveled hair, her head lowered, sorting through dried herbs. Seeing Tang Ming return, she lifted her head, "Why are you here?"

"Just checking on you. Girls should dress up nicely. You’re so pretty, why are you so messy?"

Tang Ming leaned on the fence at the doorway, looking at Hu Mei’er.

Hu Mei’er glanced at Tang Ming in surprise; ’pretty’ was the first compliment she received.

"Hahaha, what did I hear? Someone actually called Hu Mei’er, that demoness, beautiful. Boy, you must’ve only seen half of Hu Mei’er’s face."

Hu Wu and his Demon Hunting Team surrounded the entrance to Hu Mei’er’s house.

Tang Ming raised an eyebrow; indeed, he’d only ever seen half of Hu Mei’er’s face, and she always only showed half of her face.

Could it be that her other half is really ugly?

Seeing Tang Ming’s gaze on the other half of her face covered by her hair, Hu Mei’er lowered her head in panic and pushed the door open to retreat into the room.

"What are you all doing here?"

Without the chance to admire the beauty, Tang Ming turned to look at Hu Wu.

Hu Wu’s mouth curved slightly, his face showing a cold smile, "Boy, if I’d known you were so arrogant, I wouldn’t have saved you. Your Uncle Wu is here to teach you a lesson, so you understand who gave you this life. You have to respect your elders and repay kindness."

"So, you’re Hu Wu, right? You saved me, and I’m grateful, but your mouth with all its ’old man’ and ’my father’ is quite annoying. Since you saved me, I’ll guide you in Martial Arts to show my gratitude."

Tang Ming flashed in front of Hu Wu.
