Su Ruoxia first unceremoniously abandoned them and went far away, seeking refuge with the "wealthy," and then "gave" them to herself.
Anyone in their place would be resentful.
Of course, they hated Su Ruoxia more, but the problem was that Su Ruoxia had disappeared, and only she was in front of them.
No wonder Lin Ye and Bing Yan were so excited to talk to her; besides being angry about the "transaction," they might also have vented some of their anger towards Su Ruoxia on herself.
Xiao Jinyue sighed.
Sure enough, she didn't like the Protagonist when reading the book, and now it was even worse, she was going to be the opponent of the Protagonist, which was even more annoying.
"I see, but Su Ruoxia didn't tell me about their situation, I know almost nothing about them, and I've only met Lin Ye and Bing Yan once so far, can you tell me about them?"
Tong Sang and the other three looked at each other, their faces showing a strange expression.
Xiao Jinyue had just said that she was deceived by Su Ruoxia, which was why she accepted the four beast husbands, and they naturally didn't believe it.
But now seeing that Xiao Jinyue really knew nothing about them, it didn't seem like a transaction.
How could anyone accept beast husbands without even knowing their situation?
Could it be that she was really deceived, and it wasn't her intention?
This guess made their attitudes improve a bit, and the one called Wu Li nodded, "Yes, we're going to wash the beast hides by the river, come with us, and we'll tell you."
"Thank you, you are truly beautiful and kind." Xiao Jinyue showed a smile.
This straightforward praise made the female beastmen feel much better, and they found her more pleasing to the eye.
Walking to the river, Xiao Jinyue didn't bring any beast hides, and simply helped them share some of the work.
But she was just pretending, and didn't really put in any effort to rub and wash, but instead used a Spirit Art under the cover of the river water, making the beast hides clean as new.
And under their introduction, Xiao Jinyue also learned about the situation of her four beast husbands.
Besides Lin Ye and Bing Yan, whom she had met, the other two were Huo Yu and Shan Chong.
Huo Yu was from the Golden Eagle Clan, and Shan Chong was from the Ape Clan.
In terms of race, the strength of the four people was actually not bad, but the problem was that they all had some problems.
Huo Yu was blind, unable to fly, and even unable to hunt.
Shan Chong's martial strength was still there, but he was disfigured, ugly beyond compare, to the point that just one look would make people want to have nightmares.
Although male beastmen valued strength more than appearance, the premise was that he could not be handsome, but he couldn't be too ugly!
Being as ugly as Shan Chong, no matter which female, they couldn't bear it.
"As for Bing Yan and Lin Ye... Lin Ye, it's not known if it's an illness or an injury, but in short, his body is very poor, and he can't fight. And Bing Yan, he is healthy, but his martial strength is very low, only slightly stronger than the females."
"Yes, the weakest male in the Tribe is stronger than Bing Yan!"
"I have to say, the female Su Ruoxia's luck was indeed a bit bad, even if she closed her eyes and randomly chose in the Tribe, the people she might have chosen would be stronger than those four. No wonder she said she would leave and didn't care about the four of them at all."
Tong Sang and the others didn't agree with Su Ruoxia's actions either, but if the situation were put on them, they probably wouldn't be able to like those four either.
Xiao Jinyue, however, was still relatively calm after hearing this.
One was blind, one was disfigured, one was weak, and one was injured.
Sure enough, the Protagonist in the book had complained that the four of them were weak and ugly, and it seemed quite fitting.
"Jinyue, were you really deceived by Ruoxia? You didn't know they had problems beforehand?" The round-faced female beastman asked, leaning her head.
Her name was A Cai, and she was only 17 years old, not yet an adult.
"I didn't know."
"That's right, if you had known, you probably wouldn't have accepted them at all." A Cai nodded.
"Yes, of course I wouldn't."
Right on the bank of the small river, a strong figure had just arrived, and the position he was standing in was just beside a tree, the tree trunk and branches blocking most of his figure.
His hand was pressed against the tree trunk, his knuckles clenched, as if enduring anger.
"I won't accept them, not because I dislike them, but because I'm new here and haven't prepared to take in beast husbands." Xiao Jinyue added.
"Eh? You mean, you don't dislike them?" Another female named Ya Ya was puzzled.
"These things are not their choice, what's their fault? Moreover, they saved Su Ruoxia's life, even if there's a fault, it's Su Ruoxia's actions that are the problem." Xiao Jinyue said, "I will tell them that when the month is up, I will set them free, whether they want to find another Master or be free, it's up to them."
"Jinyue, you are really a sensible person, if you really like them, it's good to treat them seriously, after all, they... it's not easy to find a better Master." Tong Sang sighed.
Although the four beast husbands were indeed in poor condition, they were taken in twice and then had their contracts broken twice, and their reputations as males were bad, making it even harder to find a good home in the future.
It's really bad luck.
"Everyone has their low points, as long as they get through it, they will always find a Master who appreciates them and likes them." Xiao Jinyue said.
She saw that the other four had almost finished washing, so she also stopped her actions, and handed them the beast hides that were soaked in river water and washed clean by Spiritual Energy, "I've washed them too, what do you think?"
"Wow, so clean!"
"Yes, I saw that you weren't using much force just now, and I thought you wouldn't wash them clean, I was going to wash them again myself, but I didn't expect hehe."
"Thank you, Jinyue."
The branches of the riverbank swayed, and the person who had just been standing there had already walked away.
"You're welcome, we are all Tribe Members, and after today, we are friends."
"That's right, friends!"
As they were about to get up and return to the Cave, they heard a unique whistle.
The whistle was not sharp, but very long.
"The Hunting Team is back, that's great, let's go and welcome them, and we can also get the meat we're supposed to get." Ya Ya said.
It turned out that this meant the Hunting Team was returning.
Xiao Jinyue had never seen this kind of scene before, and couldn't help but be interested, so after they sent the beast hides back, the five of them went together.
The entrance to the Tribe was surrounded by huge stones and tree stumps, the back part was the mountain where the beastmen lived, the front part had trees and a river, and also a piece of open space used for activities and gathering.
At this time, the males who had returned from hunting were standing in the open space, and the prey they had caught was piled up in the middle.
Tong Sang and the others were still chatting and laughing on the way, but when they got closer, their smiles faded.
"Something's wrong... is someone injured?"
If everything went smoothly and they returned with a full load, the returning Squad would also happily share the prey with the Tribe Members.
But it wasn't like this now, the atmosphere was gloomy, and their faces were heavy.
