Gaien had no idea that at the moment he turned away, a layer of gray haze seemed to cover Aoli’s eyes.
In that life-or-death moment, she had fearlessly saved Ning Luo and Gaien, yet the two of them, fearing they couldn’t defeat the beast, abandoned her on the spot.
She rushed forward to help Gaien not out of love, but out of a beastman’s sense of duty. Every beastman of the same tribe, upon seeing a companion being attacked and about to be killed by a wild beast, would charge in without hesitation to fight, regardless of life or death.
This was something Aoli had learned from the tribe’s pioneers. She liked strong males because strong males could protect the tribe and give the weak females a safe place to live.
When she saw that Gaien might die, the thought that came to her was: Gaien couldn’t die, he still had to protect the tribe. As a member of the tribe, even though she was a female, when a crisis came, she had to step up.
On the way back as Gaien and Ning Luo were escaping, they encountered a male beastman from the snake tribe named Vigo, who had once entangled with Ning Luo.
Vigo had always wanted to snatch Ning Luo back. This time, with Gaien injured, he easily took Ning Luo away. Gaien couldn’t defeat him and eventually fled back to the tribe to report the incident to the tribe leader, Black Wolf, who also liked Ning Luo.
At that time, because he was worried about Ning Luo’s safety, he completely forgot that Aoli was still fighting the wild beast. It wasn’t until they rescued Ning Luo and brought her back to the tribe that they heard the news that Aoli had been torn apart by the beast.
Gaien and Ning Luo felt guilty about it for a while, but soon forgot and never told the tribe the truth about what had happened.
Because of that, except for Gaien and Ning Luo, all the other members thought Aoli had gotten separated and had the bad luck of running into a beast, which eventually led to her being torn apart.
Snapping back to the present, Tang Guo glanced at Ning Luo, who was also looking at her, eyes slightly red, about to cry.
Tang Guo turned her head to the side. This was her enemy. There was no way she was going to help.
Ning Luo could tell Tang Guo had no intention of helping and felt incredibly wronged. All around her were fierce-looking women, their eyes filled with ridicule.
Just as Ning Luo was feeling helpless, another voice rang out: “What’s going on in the tribe, Aoli?”
Tang Guo also looked over and saw two strong men walking into the tribe. She wasn’t surprised at all, this was a key point mentioned in the plot. Even without her involvement, the storyline would still move forward.
Among these two beastmen, one was the tribe leader, Black Wolf, the tribe’s top warrior.
The other one, slightly shorter than Black Wolf but still very robust, had a simple and honest smile on his face, unlike Black Wolf who looked a bit stern. He was Ai Yi’s older brother, Aimo, and would later become one of Ning Luo’s mates.
Both Black Wolf and Aimo saw Ning Luo, and their gazes subtly changed.
In a tribe used to rough and rugged females, seeing someone as delicate and fresh-looking as Ning Luo naturally drew the attention of male beastmen.
Aimo couldn’t hide the curiosity on his face, while Black Wolf appeared much more composed. After asking Aoli what had happened, he gave her a few words of warning, then told everyone to disperse.
Ning Luo quickly thanked them. Aimo enthusiastically said, “If you ever run into trouble, you can come find me.” Even though Ning Luo was Gaien’s female, Aimo couldn’t care less. This female was just too beautiful.
