Billionaire’s Journey into the Beast World, Suitors Compete to Be Fed by Her! - Chapter 56

“You want to burn me to death? Go ahead. Let’s see if you have what it takes.”

With that, Mi Yue took out an electric stun gun from her system space and pressed the switch without hesitation, the crackling sound of electricity filling the air.

The sound startled the Tiger Tribe members present, they had forgotten something crucial.

Mi Yue was blessed by the Beast God, wielding the power of lightning. How could mere mortals like them hope to contend with her?

“Shaman Yue, Lord Xing Chi bullying a little female is a fact. You are, after all, a member of the Tiger Tribe. If he bullied one of our little females, shouldn’t you intervene? You are the guardian deity of our tribe!”

The Tiger Tribe chief repeatedly reminded Mi Yue of her identity, clinging stubbornly to the issue of Xing Chi.

“Oh? If Xing Chi truly bullied a little female of the Tiger Tribe, then I certainly wouldn’t let him off.”

“But did he really bully a little female of the Tiger Tribe?”

Mi Yue then rolled up Xing Chi’s short sleeve, revealing a very distinct mate mark on his skin.

Because of the hurried return, Xing Chi hadn’t had time to change clothes and was still wearing a black short-sleeved shirt. The sleeve had concealed the mate mark on his arm, creating this ‘perfect’ misunderstanding.

“Look at this. Did he really bully a little female?”

“So, Lord Xing Chi already has a mate?”

“How could a male who already has a mate possibly bully another little female?” Not only was it psychologically impossible, but if it were true, his mate would quickly find out.

There were still a few intelligent people in the Tiger Tribe.

The mate mark was a slap in the face to everyone present. They had firmly believed the little female and placed all the blame on Xing Chi.

But was this accusation true or false?

“Xing Chi actually has a mate mark?”

“What’s going on here? Could it really be a misunderstanding?”

“Little female, speak up, did Xing Chi really bully you?”

“Why ask her? There must be a misunderstanding. With a mate mark, how could Xing Chi possibly do such a thing?”

“What? You actually have a mate mark?”

The Tiger Tribe chief was equally shocked, this possibility had never crossed his mind.

“Wait… I think I smell Shaman Yue’s scent.”

A sudden exclamation from a male in the crowd stunned everyone.

“Shaman Yue’s scent? You mean the scent on Xing Chi is Shaman Yue’s? How is that possible?”

“Wait, isn’t Shaman Yue male? Hold on, Shaman Yue, he…”

The Tiger Tribe members all turned their gazes toward Mi Yue, only then realizing in shock that Mi Yue was actually a little female.

The chief hadn’t even processed the mate mark revelation when he was struck dumb by the fact that Mi Yue was a little female. For a moment, he was at a loss for words.

What was happening today?

One thing after another was spiraling beyond his plans.

As the chief, he naturally had his own cunning. He subtly turned his head and blinked at a male standing beside him, who immediately understood.

“Shaman Yue, you’ve deceived our Tiger Tribe for so long. What punishment do you deserve?”

The male stepped forward, pointing at Mi Yue and shouting.

“Me?” Mi Yue looked at the male.

“Isn’t that the case? You’ve been pretending to be a male, deceiving all of us in the Tiger Tribe, and monopolizing the position of Shaman Yue. Moreover, a dark-haired little female is inherently inauspicious, the great drought our tribe suffered must have been because of you!”

“All this time, we’ve been deceived, kept in the dark.”

“This little female disguised herself as a male to become the shaman, bringing such disaster upon us that we had to migrate, losing many tribesmen along the way. It’s all her fault, she deserves to die.”

“So, all of this was caused by the shaman? No, we shouldn’t call her Shaman Yue anymore, she’s a murderer.”

“Tribesmen, this little female has brought us so much suffering. Should we just let it go?”

“We must seek revenge, avenge our fallen families.”

Amidst the males’ rallying cries, the Tiger Tribesmen advanced menacingly toward Mi Yue, intent on harming her.

Xing Chi frowned slightly. Seeing this, he stepped forward and stood protectively in front of Mi Yue, his expression dark as he unleashed the imposing aura of a Blue-tier male.

“Ah!”

A stifled cry rang out, it came from a male who had attempted to ambush Mi Yue. He had already grabbed her arm, but under the sudden pressure of Xing Chi’s aura, he was completely suppressed, gradually kneeling before collapsing to the ground, unable to rise.

“Wait, Lord Xing Chi!”

The Tiger Tribe’s Chief, sensing danger, quickly stepped forward from the crowd.

“Lord Xing Chi, my tribesmen acted too rashly. They were just too angry after being deceived for so long.”

“I understand that Shaman Yue disguised herself as a male to survive, but I must also consider the grief of those who lost family members during the migration.”

As he spoke, the Tribe Chief wiped his sweat, his mind racing to find the right words.

He hadn’t expected a Blue-tier male to be this powerful, without even lifting a finger, just his aura alone was enough to crush them.

“What do you want to say?” Mi Yue eyed the Tribe Chief suspiciously, sensing his ulterior motives.

“But if we can all reconcile, Mi Yue, as long as you and Lord Xing Chi agree to join the Tiger Tribe, I promise we’ll overlook your deception about being a male and a shaman.”

The Tribe Chief smiled amiably, presenting what he thought was a perfect solution.

Mi Yue crossed her arms, a mocking smile playing on her lips. “What a clever scheme. You’re going to great lengths just to keep Xing Chi in the Tiger Tribe and secure a Blue-tier male.”

“Too bad, I won’t be bringing Xing Chi into the Tiger Tribe, and neither I nor Xiu Ka will stay here any longer.”

Exposed, the Tribe Chief’s expression darkened further at Mi Yue’s refusal.

“I’m doing this for the good of the tribe and for you! Don’t twist my words!”

He averted his gaze, his discomfort evident.

Though furious, he dared not act recklessly against Mi Yue.

With Xing Chi, a Blue-tier male, by her side, even the entire Tiger Tribe’s males combined might not be a match for him.

The Tribe Chief wasn’t willing to gamble, nor did he dare provoke a Blue-tier male.

The two sides had completely torn off all pretenses. However, recalling that they still needed to stay with the Tiger Tribe to conceal their presence, Mi Yue took out a multicolored crystal bead from her storage pouch and tossed it to the Tiger Tribe’s chief.

“We’ll need to rest here in the Tiger Tribe for a couple more days. Consider this multicolored crystal bead as payment.”

“This is… a crystal bead?”

The Tiger Tribe chief stared at the bead in stunned silence.

A crystal bead, this was a crystal bead!

He had never seen one before. Just this single multicolored crystal bead could trade for an entire month’s worth of prey for the entire Tiger Tribe.

They toiled tirelessly hunting in the forest, yet this tiny bead could fetch them a month’s provisions. The world of those in power was truly unfathomable.
