When she was done catching them all, she would come down and tie a pair of male and female pheasants with vines and put them aside. She would take these back and see if she could raise them. When the time came, she would obtain some eggs; she could also eat them. It would be even better if she could hatch the chicks!
As for the other three, they were all smashed to death by her. Two were thrown into the space, and one was hung on a vine. She returned to the tribe with a full load of goods.
She had come out for a walk today and had gained a lot. She was in a good mood. The small flowers on her bracelet were blooming, and the fragrance lingered.
As she walked out of this forest, she came face-to-face with a tribal female named Milo. She was followed by a mate.
She saw her come out of the woods with an extremely ugly expression. When Milo saw the pheasant in her hand, she was even more furious. She screamed and rushed forward.
“Tang Guo! You’re shameless!”
Tango was baffled. She protected the goods in her hands and easily sidestepped Milo’s scratches. “What’s gotten into you, Milo?” she asked coldly.
“Tang Guo! You’re shameless! Just because Chief Bai Ye doesn’t want you and refuses to form a contract with you, you’ll steal someone else’s partner! You vicious female, you’ll be punished by the Beast God!”
Milo looked like she was about to break down. As she accused and yelled, she came at Tang Guo again, her hands clawing at her face.
Tang Guo was holding onto the vine with one hand, and her other hand was empty. At this moment, she dodged to the side to avoid Milo’s grab. Then, she pressed her hand down and accurately grabbed Milo’s shoulder. With a flick of her hand, Tang Guo threw her down hard.
Startled and afraid she might be hurt, Milo’s mate, Archie, rushed to catch her and held her firmly in his arms.
Milo had not expected Tang Guo to be so skilled. Shocked, frightened, and aggrieved, she buried her face in Archie’s chest and wept uncontrollably.
Connecting the dots to what she was saying, Tang Guo could almost guess what was going on. She suddenly felt incredulous. Was this Milo brainless?
She couldn’t be bothered to explain and walk away.
Then Archie suddenly blocked her way.
Tang Guo raised an eyebrow at him. “What do you want?”
Archie had listened to Milo’s instructions. Naturally, he now had to follow her decision.
The commotion also attracted the attention of the tribesmen. Many of them gathered around. Someone asked, “What the hell is going on?”
Milo wiped the tears from her face behind the crowd, then suddenly pointed at the pheasant in Tang Guo’s hand. “Tang Guo stole my family’s catch!”
As soon as she said this, the crowd burst into an uproar. The people around them pointed at Tang Guo.
“She’s getting lazy. She refused to collect it herself, but now she’s stealing other people’s meat!”
“That’s right. If she’s willing to harvest, she can go to the center of the tribe to exchange for meat. Tsk, she’s getting lazier!”
“Tsk, the leader hates her to death now, so he doesn’t give her meat to eat!”
“Tsk tsk, such a female should get out of the tribe!”
“Yes, that’s right. Get her out of the tribe!”
Tang Guo looked at the angry onlookers and was speechless. They didn’t even know what was going on and had the cheek to criticize her!
Did they have any brains?
Unable to control her strength, she snapped a section of the cane in her hand and flung it at Milo.
“Pa”
The crispness of the voice startled Milo. Once again, Archie stood protectively in front of his mate, staring at Tan Guo with troubled eyes.
Why was this human female different from before?
The crowd was also silent. They all looked at Tang Guo in a daze. They felt that she had a very scary aura that suddenly made them afraid to speak.
“Be mindful of what you say.” Tango had strolled up to Milo as he spoke.
Milo, who’d seen her strength and thought she was going to hit her again, was so terrified she ducked behind Archie.
As a male, Archie naturally could not bear to see his mate bullied, so he squared his shoulders and stood in front of Tang Guo.
Tang Guo glanced at them disdainfully. Did they think she had nothing better to do?
The wild pheasant in her hand was struggling with all her might. She glanced at the onlookers and waved the vine. She asked coldly, “You’re all orcs. Can’t you smell that this wild pheasant doesn’t have their aura?”
“Just because she said she owns it, you believe it? Where are your brains?”
“Slandering me for stealing? Who gave you the cheek to do so?”
She was staring at Milo as she asked the last question. Her face really was frighteningly cold.
For a moment, the onlookers were speechless. They had to admit that she was right, and they had been wrong about her from the start.
So the people who had been accusing Tang Guo looked at Milo and Archie strangely.
The savage primitive tribes were that direct. Their looks of contempt and suspicion were undisguised.
Milo felt guilty being looked at like that. “T-then I was wrong. This isn’t my family’s prey. But you’re a human female. Tell me, how did you get this pheasant?”
Tang Guo nodded and said, “As long as you know your mistake. How I caught the pheasant is none of your business.”
