A Yong frowned and asked, "Da Ming, weren't you guarding Cui? Didn't you see how Cui hit the stone?"
Da Ming rubbed his forehead and shook his head. "I didn't see clearly. The centipede scared Cui and Shu Yue badly. I only saw them both fall to the ground shouting. I didn't see if Shu Yue pushed anyone, and Shu Yue's arm was also injured and bleeding at the time."
A Yong's frown deepened as he listened. "You males can't even look after one female. You're really something!"
Everyone could hear the anger and sarcasm in his voice. They all knew very well that the child in Cui's womb was very likely A Yong's. Now the child was gone, and his mate was injured. A Yong was so angry he wanted to beat them all, but it wasn't the right time, so he had to let it go.
Da Ming sighed. "A Yong, I know you're angry, but the child is gone. Cui can't take this blow. We should think about how to comfort her, and whether Shu Yue really pushed Cui..."
A Yong kicked the table irritably. "You were right there and didn't see clearly. How could we who weren't present know!"
"We can only ask Cui carefully about what happened when she wakes up."
The eight males looked at each other. They had no choice but to wait for her to wake up.
It wasn't feasible for everyone to stay by Cui's side. One would stay, and the others would go about their business.
Yin Xiao walked out of the house. No matter how much he tried to relax, a heavy stone still pressed on his heart, preventing him from feeling at ease.
He caught sight of a small figure out of the corner of his eye, his gaze changing slightly. He walked towards the figure.
Under a large tree, Yin Chuan looked at his brother worriedly. "Brother, is Sister Cui any better?"
Yin Xiao looked at his brother, who was almost as tall as him. Something flashed through his eyes, and he forced a smile. "Cui is fine. Xiao Chuan, you don't need to worry. How has your hunting practice been lately?"
Yin Chuan smiled. "Don't worry, Brother. Although I'm not the strongest, I'll definitely become an excellent beastman in the future!"
At sixteen, he wasn't an adult yet, but he could already go hunting with his peers, accompanying the adult beastmen.
At least he could support himself now and was no longer a burden to his brother.
Yin Xiao patted his brother's head with relief. He had things on his mind, so they didn't talk for long before parting ways.
Yin Chuan watched his brother's retreating back, the smile on his face slowly fading. He felt sorry for his brother. His brother used to be very cheerful, but now he often frowned and had a somber expression, never happy.
He didn't understand why, with life improving, his brother was becoming increasingly unhappy. Was it related to Sister Cui?
Yin Chuan sighed and returned to his dwelling. He didn't have a private house and lived in a dormitory with many others. Most of the residents were beastmen of similar age.
After becoming an adult and saving enough money, he could hire someone to help him build a house.
The next morning, Shu Yue picked off the small scabs on her arm. Thanks to the beastman's physique, it healed in two days, leaving no trace on her arm.
After breakfast, the children went out to play. Shortly after they left, A Yong and the others arrived with Miao Xiao Cui. They arrived neither too early nor too late, attracting the attention of many tribesmen.
Wen Te was in the yard. Before the hosts could ask, Miao Xiao Cui, upon entering, immediately accused, "Shu Yue, you tell me clearly, why did you harm me!"
Yin Xiao, standing behind her, frowned. Hadn't they agreed at home to ask gently? Why was Cui...
Wen Te's expression instantly turned cold when his mate was accused right at the entrance.
He blocked them at the door. "Stay right there! What do you want? Who harmed you?"
Wen Te's brows furrowed. The more he looked at Miao Xiao Cui, the more displeased he became. If it weren't for saving her, how would his Yue Yue have been injured? Not only were these people ungrateful, but they were also coming to accuse them?
Hearing the commotion, Shu Yue quickly came out of the room. The tone was too unfriendly!
As soon as she came out, she heard Miao Xiao Cui's grief-stricken accusation, "Shu Yue pushed me, she caused me to lose my child. Who should I seek retribution from if not her!"
Miao Xiao Cui's voice was quite loud. The tribesmen who were already watching the excitement gathered around. Upon hearing such a matter, they became even more interested, listening with pricked ears.
Shu Yue's eyes widened in shock at these words. "Miao Xiao Cui, are you sick? I helped you save your child and detoxify you without asking for any reward, and now you're biting me back?"
"Your mate was present at the time. Your child was lost because of the poisoning, what does it have to do with me!"
Da Ming, from the crowd, quickly said, "Shu Yue, we are here today to clarify the truth. Cui is too emotional, and her words are a bit agitated. Please don't take it to heart for now. Can we go inside and talk it over properly?"
After speaking, Da Ming pulled Cui's arm again. "Cui, you're too agitated. Didn't we agree to ask what happened? Calm down!"
Wen Te didn't show them any pleasantries, his gaze sharp as he stared at them. Fortunately, he was home today, otherwise, he didn't know how his Yue Yue would have been bullied... Hmph!
Miao Xiao Cui forcefully shook off Da Ming's hand, her eyes red, and questioned, "Shu Yue, do you dare to do it but not admit it?"
"It's true you detoxified me, but my child wasn't lost because of the poisoning at all. It was because you pushed me!"
After finishing her angry words, Miao Xiao Cui turned to face the tribesmen watching the spectacle. She lifted her clothes, revealing a large area of bruising on her back. Although the bruising wasn't as exaggerated as it was at first after two days, it was a mix of blue and yellow, not pleasant to look at, but it could prove something.
Shu Yue also walked around to look. When she saw that there were indeed marks, she was amused and angered. "Miao Xiao Cui, how can you be sure that I did this?"
"Also, I have no enmity with you, why would I want to cause you to lose your child? I have children of my own. Don't tell me it's out of jealousy. In terms of the number of children, I have no reason to be jealous of you!"
Anyone with eyes could see that this was impossible. Shu Yue was a White Spirit Beast. Why would she need to be jealous of a female who had trouble getting pregnant?
No one would believe such a reason or excuse.
But Miao Xiao Cui had already decided it was Shu Yue, and said coldly, "You're not jealous of me, you just can't stand to see me doing well!"
"Do you dare to say you didn't push me that day?" Miao Xiao Cui stared at her intently.
Shu Yue also had a cold expression. Recalling the events of that day, she had indeed pushed her, but she didn't know why she had hit her back, or why she had pushed her. Didn't Miao Xiao Cui have any clue?
Wen Te unconditionally stood by his mate's side. Yue Yue was innocent from the start!
He disdained arguing with Miao Xiao Cui, but looked at Da Ming with a cold gaze. "Da Ming, did you see clearly that day? Was it my mate who pushed your mate?"
"This... I didn't see clearly." Da Ming answered truthfully.
Wen Te's eyes were sharp, and the corners of his mouth curved into a mocking arc. "You're accusing my mate without seeing clearly? I remember that day you begged Yue Yue to help your mate save her child. You wouldn't have forgotten the reason why, would you?"
