“Little sister, are you alright? Did she hurt you? Second brother will avenge you!”

Hu Qinggao turned around, his worried eyes falling on Hu Jiaojiao.

Hearing his words, Hu Jiaojiao confirmed that this was indeed the original owner’s second brother, Hu Qinggao.

She smiled and shook her head. “Second brother, I’m fine. She didn’t even touch me.”

Hearing this, Hu Qinggao’s furrowed brows finally relaxed a bit. He turned back and coldly flung Xiong Hua away.

“Get lost! If you dare touch my little sister, I’ll chop off whichever hand you use!” Hu Qinggao threatened fiercely.

Even though his handsome face was as beautiful as a jade crown, and even when angry, it didn’t make him look the least bit scary.

However, the fierce look in his eyes still made Xiong Hua shrink back.

Just then, someone shouted, “The Tribe leader is here!” The beastmen immediately parted to make way.

Hu Jiaojiao had never seen the clan leader before and curiously looked in the direction of the voice.

A middle-aged male with thick eyebrows and a square face, looking stern, entered the crowd. Despite his age, his back was still straight, and his hands were clasped behind him, exuding an air of authority.

“What’s going on?”

The Tribe leader scanned the chaotic scene of beastmen with a deep voice.

“Hu Jiaojiao set my house on fire! She killed my cub! Hu Qinggao is even covering for her! Tribe leader, you must seek justice for me!”

Seeing the Tribe leader arrive, Xiong Hua acted like she had found her savior and hurriedly complained.

“What proof do you have that my sister started the fire? Did you see it with your own eyes?” Hu Qinggao’s handsome face was full of undisguised anger.

Even though he didn’t know the truth, he stood by Hu Jiaojiao without hesitation.

“It was definitely Hu Jiaojiao! Who else would do such a thing? My poor Bear Ball, so young, was burned to death by this vicious female! Waaaah…”

Xiong Hua clung stubbornly to her accusation, wailing while wiping away tears.

The Tribe leader looked sternly at Hu Jiaojiao. “Hu Jiaojiao, is this true?”

“Tribe leader, I’ve been wronged…” Hu Jiaojiao boldly denied it without flinching. “If I had set the fire, how could it be that even water couldn’t put it out? Tribe leader, there’s no way I could have such power!”

The surrounding beastmen started to agree.

They had never seen fire that couldn’t be extinguished by water. The fire had started so suddenly, and it was too strange. How could Hu Jiaojiao have such abilities?

Seeing everyone side with Hu Jiaojiao, Xiong Hua became desperate.

She pointed at Hu Jiaojiao and cursed, “You’re lying! It was definitely you! You were jealous of Xiong Qiu (Bear Ball) being stronger than those little brats and wanted to burn him to death! My poor cub…”

Hu Jiaojiao scoffed. “Your Xiong Qiu looks like a pig. Anyone who didn’t know better would think his father was a pig beast…”

“You—you!”

The tribe leader frowned and scolded softly, “Enough.”

“Everyone, stop arguing. Put out the fire first and check if Xiong Qiu is really inside.”

Since the tribe leader had spoken, Xiong Hua didn’t dare act out anymore.

Dozens of beastmen worked together to douse the flames. It took about half an hour before the fire was finally put out.

After the fire, the wooden house was reduced to ashes.

Xiong Hua rushed over, grabbed a handful of ash, and started wailing, “My cub, Xiong Qiu, you died so Miserably…”

The surrounding beastmen watched coldly.

Seeing Xiong Hua’s shameless behavior, no one spared her any sympathy.

Watching this, Hu Jiaojiao couldn’t help but feel emotional, as if she was seeing the original owner’s life in the tribe.

“Ew! Where’s that stench coming from?”

“Oh my god, why does it smell so bad? Who pooped here?!”

Suddenly, murmurs of disgust spread through the crowd.

A group of beastmen, pinching their noses, looked around in disdain, not wanting to stand near anyone.

At that moment, a smelly, round figure rolled into view.

“Mom, I didn’t die. Why are you crying with a handful of ashes, saying I’m dead?”

Xiong Qiu had finally crawled out of a pit. After failing to catch the little brats, he came back to complain to Xiong Hua, only to see his mother crying when he returned.

Hearing the voice, Xiong Hua looked up to see Xiong Qiu standing there, alive and well. Her wailing immediately stopped.

“Xiong Qiu, you’re not dead? What happened to you?!”

It would have been better if she hadn’t asked. The moment she did, Xiong Qiu started gagging again.

“Ugh… Mom, waaah… Those little bastards bullied me! They made me eat poop! You have to avenge me! Beat those little bastards to death…”

He gagged and cried at the same time.

As he spoke, he tried to run over and hug Xiong Hua.

What? Poop?

Why does Xiong Hua’s cub have such strange preferences?

Upon hearing this, the surrounding beastmen looked on with strange expressions, feeling disgusted, and quickly stepped back several meters.

“Stop! Don’t come any closer…” Xiong Hua reached out in disgust, afraid Xiong Qiu would smear the poop on her.

“Waaah, Mom, even you despise me now…”

Seeing that Xiong Hua didn’t want him near, Xiong Qiu cried even louder, running towards her as he sobbed.

The two of them started a chase scene right in front of everyone.

Hu Jiaojiao watched in disbelief. What’s going on? She just gave the cubs an idea to teach Xiong Qiu a lesson, but how did he end up covered in poop?

As she wondered, she suddenly noticed a black shadow flying over their heads.

“Yao’er!” Hu Jiaojiao was startled, afraid Long yao might get hurt, and was about to run over to get him back.

But then she saw the little black dragon raise the tip of his tail, squeeze his eyes shut, and aim right at Xiong Hua’s plump face.

“Plop… Splash…”

A foul smell wafted over, and Hu Jiaojiao couldn’t help but cover her eyes.

She couldn’t bear to watch.

If not for the fact that Long Yao was her biological cub, she would have pretended not to know him…

After finishing his business, Long Yao wagged his little tail and flew happily back to Long Yu, raising his head in hopes of being praised.

His bright red beast eyes blinked eagerly, as if asking, “Big brother, how did I do? Was my aim good?”

“Well done, Little Five.”

Long Yu pinched his nose and reluctantly patted Longyao’s head in praise.

Just as he spoke, he noticed Hu Jiaojiao looking his way. He pretended not to see and turned his head.

Hu Jiaojiao: “…”

These two little troublemakers! She told them to go home, but they stayed behind to launch a sneak attack.

Still… they did a great job!

“Ahhh!” Xiong Hua’s shrill voice pierced the sky, “Who did this? Who did this?! Come out now!”

Xiong Hua wiped her face in a panic, but the more she wiped, the more it spread. She was so furious that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

Although females were precious, even if Xiong Hua was annoying, the beastmen in the tribe wouldn’t hurt her.

The beastmen who had been angry with her earlier felt completely satisfied seeing her in such a sorry state.

“Mom, it was that little brat Long Yao!” Xiong Qiu quickly tattled.

Finally wiping her eyes clear, Xiong Hua heard it was Long Yao’s doing and became even angrier, charging toward Hu Jiaojiao, claws bared.

“Hu Jiaojiao, I’m going to kill you!”
