Chapter 198: The picture shows the dagger
"What did you and your Holy Mother do? Equality and mutual assistance? You think you can get those orcs who rely on you to 'trade' with you? Ha—" The Beast King's lips curled into a light smile, his laughter full of undisguised contempt and disdain, as if he were watching two huge jokes.
"Am I wrong to say you're all stupid?" The Beast King suddenly flicked his sleeve, his robes fluttering as he looked down at Xia Weier with an air of absolute authority.
“I just dispatched a high-ranking guard team. Their current task is to protect your female companion and my royal grandson.”
“During the winter beast tide, the weather is freezing cold and dangerous. I will never allow my grandson to travel such a long distance to the Holy City at such a time.”
“But! If your females have such weak control over the surrounding tribes, I will never allow my grandson to grow up by her side!”
"You are beyond my power to change; you've been completely ruined! The ninth one is mediocre and unfit for any great responsibility! But since the Beast God has bestowed upon the Bright Moon Rabbit Clan a cub with ancestral blood, who is also a continuation of my bloodline!"
"This is clearly the Beast God's favor upon me! Next year, I will do everything in my power to make you willingly send the imperial grandson to the Holy City!"
"Xia Weier, even if you're stubborn to the end, you have to admit that the cubs with the ancestral bloodline are only truly safe by my side!"
"If I were more ruthless, I would have taken control of all the offspring born to you by your females!"
"I advise you not to act like a spoiled little cub anymore! You're no longer a cub! Your uncles and elders in the Moon Rabbit Clan are all eyeing my throne as the Beast King!"
"You don't know, do you? If they find out that you, as a female, have given birth to a cub with atavistic blood, do you think you, as a female, will still have a peaceful life?"
"If you let your foolish female raise a cub with atavistic blood, that child will only grow into a soft-hearted, cowardly fool! Do you really want your son to be like that?"
Xia Wei'er clenched his teeth tightly, the muscles in his face trembling slightly with anger, and said, word by word:
"You may look down on my past cowardly appearance of not fighting or grabbing! But I will not allow you to insult my femininity!"
I will never let you bring our cub to the Holy City! If you push me too far, I'd rather kill him with my own hands!
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around abruptly and strode away from the main hall.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty hall, gradually fading into the distance.
Only the Beast King remained standing in the hall, his gaze as deep as an abyss, and no one could see what he was thinking at that moment.
As Xia Wei'er stepped out of the main hall, he immediately gave orders to his guards, his voice filled with an undeniable urgency: "Pack your things now, we're going back tomorrow!"
While Xia Weier was arguing fiercely with the Beast King, Ruan Xiyue happened to contact Xia Weier.
As soon as the call connected, she heard the Beast King's shrill voice spouting nonsense, calling her stupid!
After hearing the Beast King's humiliation, Ruan Xiyue remained silent, and the air seemed to freeze at that moment.
"Wife, I'm sorry." Xia Weier's breathing was heavy and rapid, as if he was desperately suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
Ruan Xiyue took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound more relaxed, and teased, "Finally decided to come back? You were avoiding me for quite a while."
Xia Weier pursed his lips slightly, his expression complicated: "Hmm. I've thought about it. If another version of me appeared, he would definitely deal with the external threats first, and then think about possessing you exclusively."
“During this time, I have been pondering your description of him repeatedly. He has an almost obsessive possessiveness towards you.”
"However, I had a detailed conversation with the guards sent by the Holy City to hand over the affairs of the Great Bamboo Lemur Clan to you, and I found that he would first eliminate any external threats before revealing his almost perverted possessiveness towards you."
"It's alright, it's all your fault anyway. What I'm bothered about is that your beast king father called me stupid! It made me laugh out loud!"
"How can I compare to him? When he makes a move, he's surrounded by a whole bunch of high-level orcs! What do I have around me? Just a few of you high-level combatants!"
"The Red Fox Tribe is still eyeing me and my cubs covetously! The tribes around me are all medium-sized tribes, and the one with the largest animal population is the Deer Tribe, with nearly seven thousand beastmen!"
"I can make them all serve me and follow my lead the moment I step in. What makes me so great? Because I'm arrogant?"
"I'm so angry! Calling me stupid? Your beast king father is a lunatic!"
"Shouldn't I first offer them benefits to keep them interested, make them understand that following me means they'll have food to eat and can have offspring of their own bloodline, before gradually making demands?"
"I'll offer them a favor once, and expect them to risk their entire clan's lives on my shoulders? Who would agree to that? That's insane!"
Xia Weier was already very angry, but when he heard Ruan Xiyue puffing up her cheeks on the other end of the line, he could immediately picture Ruan Xiyue's almond-shaped eyes glaring angrily, her red lips puffing out as she opened and closed her fair cheeks.
Suddenly, he wasn't angry anymore; he even felt like laughing...
Hearing Xia Weier's barely suppressed laughter, Ruan Xiyue became even angrier: "Were you laughing? Are you mocking me?"
Xia Weier couldn't help but let out a flirtatious chuckle, but he immediately denied it, saying, "No, I just think my energetic wife is so cute."
"Cute my foot! Ugh—I'm so angry! Come back right now! Your father said I'm stupid, so if you're so capable, don't acknowledge me, the stupid child born of you and me!"
"Hmph! They look down on us and want to steal our baby! They're old, play around, and still dream big! Humph!"
Xia Weier's smile never faded, but after talking with Ruan Xiyue for a while, his anger had completely disappeared.
"Okay, honey, I'll be right back! I'll be bringing back a batch of slaves and some skilled orcs who can smelt iron."
"Wife, don't be angry. The Beast King made you angry, so... how about you grab his son and take your anger out on him?"
"You can vent your anger however you want, okay?"
Ruan Xiyue blinked, coughed lightly, and muttered softly, "It's not impossible... then you'd better come back soon! Humph!"
Ruan Xiyue ended the call with Xia Weier, took a deep breath, and decided she couldn't let the Beast King look down on her!
Her idea of rallying support from those around her became even clearer.
Ruan Xiyue immediately tapped her earring again, connecting with Cong Xian, who was far away in New Beast City.
"Ah Xian, are you busy right now?"
Having avoided the areas infested with orcs, Xian arrived at the newly built watchtower and ascended the spiral staircase.
"I'm not busy, what's wrong?"
"I heard from Jiu Chen that the Black Dog Tribe and the Tanuki Tribe said they would consider the marriage alliance. Have they given you a reply yet?"
"Not yet. The Honey Badger tribe has sent a thousand orcs to help, but there's been no movement from the Sloth tribe. I heard they set off a month ago... but... that tribe of theirs... it's hard to say... I wonder if they're still on their way?"
