Chapter 3

“You’re really strange. My beast betrayed me and teamed up with others to try to kill me. How is my punishment cruel? But you… you care so much about my beast. Could it be that you are the leader behind plotting against me?”

“Fox Tribe Young Lord.” A tall man stood in front of Luka. His eyes looked like he wanted to tear Luka apart.

Shan frowned and said, “Don’t bully my wife like this.”

“Shan, get out of the way. Following such a cruel woman won’t end well for you. I have medicine here that can break your contract with her beast.” Shan and Xino were brothers.

Xino naturally wanted Shan to return to their tribe and help build it together.

Luka didn’t say anything and just calmly looked at the two brothers.

Shan firmly said, “I am my wife’s beast.”

…

Xino was frustrated. Luka raised an eyebrow and said directly, “Your Holy Maiden Tribe threatens us like this. If a female in the tribe does something you don’t like, you give medicine to her beast, so she loses the beast’s protection and is left to fend for herself. That’s really kind.”

After Luka’s sarcastic voice, people nearby started whispering.

Even some females in the Holy Maiden Tribe frowned when they saw Bella not far away.

“Holy Maiden, what do you mean? Why does the leader always talk about giving others medicine? What if one day we make you unhappy, will you also give medicine to our beasts?” one female asked.

Whether human or beast, no one could ignore matters involving their own interests.

Females in this world were weak. Even a small beast could easily be killed.

Making a contract with a beast gave them some power, protection, and safety.

If that right was taken away, it would be a deadly blow to them.

Bella said, “I didn’t… I only want everyone to be happy. Earlier I just spoke without thinking.”

“Whether it was a slip of the tongue or not, you understand yourself. Also… because of you, I suffered. So… give me the southwest land. And pay one hundred furs and ten ores as compensation.”

“Never.” Hearing this, Xino’s face darkened. “You’re asking for too much.”

“I don’t know if it’s too much. You almost killed me. Shouldn’t you compensate? Does the Holy Maiden Tribe only ask others for compensation, but when it’s their turn, they just refuse…”

“You…” Bella’s eyes turned red. “I only wanted…”

“Shut up.” Luka gave a cold look, clearly showing disgust. Everyone was hurting others, but not themselves.

“You…” Shan was furious seeing someone bully his female like this and attacked Luka.

Shan stood in front and blocked the attack.

Luka didn’t move, watching the two fight and the other side’s mocking smile.

“Looks like… the Holy Maiden Tribe wants to fight with us. Then I can only join other tribes to attack.” Luka’s face was cold. “After all… you broke the agreement first.”

“No…” Bella’s tribe had been attacked before, many beasts had died. She did not want this to happen again.

“I only… Luka, I didn’t mean that. I admit I was wrong about the medicine, but the beasts were oppressed for many years. I only want to give them fairness,” Bella said sadly.

“Your pity for them is your problem.” Luka smiled and said, “Prepare to send those things to my tribe.”

Not far away, Shan was pushed back and fell hard.

His huge lion form slammed heavily toward Luka. The people nearby were shocked.

Luka saw Xino’s cruel intention. He was trying to use Shan to kill her.

She sneered and skillfully threw Shan away, but because of how she eased the force, he didn’t fall too hard.

Everyone there was a bit surprised. Luka smiled and looked at Xino, “No wonder you’re so submissive.”

That sentence made Xino’s face turn very dark. He wanted to start a fight, but Bella held him back, “Stop fighting.”

Bella didn’t want any conflict right now, and she didn’t want anyone to get hurt.

Luka glanced coldly at Bella, who was acting like a saint. Being kind is a good thing, but sometimes people who are too kind end up ruining others more easily.

After getting what she wanted, Luka didn’t stay.

She left with Shan and the beastmen by her side.

As for Bella’s side, if she wanted to cause trouble by standing against the females, then Luka could only wish her good luck.

Because not everyone can just let things go, watching their rights being taken away quietly.

If this matter is not handled well, it could easily cause trouble.

If Xino keeps saying these things in front of everyone, it’s like slapping all the females in the face.

A tribe is strong because it has many females. More females mean more beastmen.

When Luka left, she looked at the females nearby and said, “If you’re not afraid of trouble in this tribe, but one day you upset someone else and your own beastmen are stirred up to cut ties with you, you can come to our Fox Tribe.”

“Fox Tribe’s young master…” Xino’s face looked ugly.

Luka didn’t care and said, “Think about it… you have a choice.”

She didn’t say more but felt a dangerous presence secretly. That feeling… probably came from Bella’s number one husband.

But… so what if he is number one husband?

If he came at her, she would beat him up until he looked like a snake.

…

But for now, some changes had to be made. She remembered many things would happen later in the story. If things didn’t change, the Fox Tribe might not last.

Becoming stronger was the most basic and necessary thing.

On the way back, Luka sat on Shan’s back, looking up at the nearby forest. There were cold, dark eyes watching her. She sneered.

Then quickly looked away.

The other side didn’t make a move now, probably not wanting to cause trouble with Bella. But… no rush.

After returning, Luka got some tools and started making weapons. There was no iron yet.

This was still the semi-stone age, but finding iron ore was easy for her.

“Oh right, after the land is transferred, send people to guard it well…” With those ores, the tribe’s beastmen could level up.

But… if females also had power, even if beastmen broke their contracts, it wouldn’t matter. Unfortunately… Bella had medicine that could give females strength, but she never gave it to females. She only gave it to beastmen.

She said females might not be able to handle it, but no female had ever tried. Because she succeeded herself, she believed no one else could.
