Chapter 35: Things Are Difficult to Handle

  Yao's female voice let out a terrified scream, followed by pained moans. She stared at the small ball of fluff standing in front of Mo Yi'er as if she had seen a ghost. "Ah... he... he bit off my fingertip! Ah... it hurts!"

  "Roar~"; The little ball roared and he actually dirtied his own mouth! Is it better to use his paws to directly break it off?

  This roar was extremely ferocious, and Yao Nu, who had just shouted loudly, was so frightened that she quickly shut her mouth in terror.

  Mo Yu'er only reacted now, her small fluffy ball had directly broken off Yao Nu's finger. She hurried forward to check Yao Nu's injury: "How is it? Quick, quick, stop the bleeding, can this finger be reattached..."

  "Get out of here! It's your beast that hurt me!" Yao Nu violently bumped into Mo Yier who was rushing over to check on her injuries. She had always been jealous and resentful of Mo Yier, and now that she was injured, her hatred for him only intensified.

  Chu Fu helped Mo Yier up from the ground, and this sudden turn of events was also unexpected by him. Just as he was about to call for someone to treat Yao Nu's wound, he saw Mo Yier suddenly pounce forward and press down on Xiao Huang Qiu, who was about to harm Yao Nu again. "Alright, alright, don't hurt her anymore." Mo Yier was indeed worried, she knew that Xiao Huang Qiu was trying to protect her, but this was a bit too much.

  "Woof woof!" The little ball of fluff barked twice and finally obeyed Mo Yier's words, but the thunderous bark made Yao Nu's tears flow freely, filling her heart with even more fear.

  The people around the mountain cave heard the commotion and rushed back, because it was too intense just now, even the women who were practicing archery came running over, and saw the fingers on the ground and Yao's hand covered in blood, they were shocked. Xī Fǎng Nī hastily asked: "Yao, what's going on? Why did your finger fall off?"

  "Hurry up and stop the bleeding!"; Mo Yuer's voice was hoarse as she spoke. Yao Nu's words made her unable to feel any sympathy for her, but at the same time, she couldn't ignore her since she got hurt because of herself. "Sang Zhen, go find some silk cloth and burn it into ash to stop the bleeding."

  "Right, right, go quickly!" Kasa said with a hint of urgency, having just witnessed the whole incident from not far away. Anyway, Yao Nu was a woman of the tribe!

  Sang Zhen hurriedly ran away. Silky Ni still wanted to ask what had happened but was glared at by Chu Yan and didn't dare open her mouth again. Yao Nu knelt on the ground, her left hand pressing hard on her bleeding right finger, her face pale, big tears rolling down, so pitiful! "Leader, it was him who hurt me, you must drive this beast out, our tribe can't keep such a monster."

  "Roar~" The little furball roared again, and the girl's body shrank back a bit, but her eyes remained firm.

  Mo Yu'er's head hurt: "Yao Nu, you'd better shut up. If you say anything else, I may not be able to stop Xiao Rong Qiu."

  "Hmph, it's all because you let him bite me!"; Sang Zhen didn't dare to look at Xiao Rongqiu, but instead glared at Mo Yier with a fierce gaze, as if saying that Mo Yier had allowed Xiao Rongqiu to harm her. The people of the tribe were momentarily stunned, looking at the small and harmless Xiao Rongqiu, thinking how could he have harmed Yao Nü?

  "Enough, Xī Fǎng Nī, take Yáo Niáng back to the cave!" Chu Huǒ ordered. Xī Fǎng Nī hastily dragged the unwilling Yáo Niáng into the cave. The others looked at Xiǎo Róng Qiú and Chu Huǒ with complex gazes, seemingly trying to figure out what was going on. After all, one of their own had been injured in front of the tribe's cave, something that had never happened before.

  Mo Yu'er let out a sigh and said: "Sorry, it was my little furball that hurt Yao Nu, I'll take better care of him in the future."

  The tribespeople were in an uproar, with some even casting disapproving or hostile glances like small balls being thrown. In the eyes of the tribespeople, the little ball was just an animal, but Yao Nu was a fellow tribesperson who had lived together with them for so many years.

  The little fluffy ball, acting as the golden lion, was extremely sensitive to this hostility, and it bared its teeth at the woman who was hostile towards him, showing threat.

  "My goodness, Mo Yier is going to bite me too!"; Zuo Zao didn't have any ill intentions towards Mo Yier, but she usually got along better with Yao Nu, so naturally she had some hostility towards the little ball of fluff that hurt Yao Nu.

  "No, he won't bite you." Mo Yu'er said soothingly and then hugged the little ball of fur into her arms. "You be good now, can't hurt our people again, or I'll get angry."

  The little furball sensed a hint of anger from Mo Yi'er and quickly retracted its fierce appearance, as if it was being spoiled, and burrowed into Mo Yi'er's arms.

  "But he's already taken Yao Niang, kill him!"; Zuo Zhen said unwillingly, not wanting to let Xiao Rong continue to stay behind.

  Mo Yu's body tensed up, she took a step forward, glanced at Zuo Shuang and then at Chu Yan: "If you want to kill him, first kill me." After finishing speaking, she turned around and left, walking towards the edge of the water pond.

  "Mo Yu'er..." Chu Yan hastily wanted to chase after her, but Yao Nu had already rushed out of the cave and thrown herself to the ground, tightly hugging Chu Yan's legs. "Leader, you must get justice for me! My fingers are gone, my fingers are gone, waaah~!" Yao Nu cried very sorrowfully. Just now when Mo Yu'er was in front of her, she had shown mostly hatred, but only now did she think about the reality that she would become disabled in the future.

  Chu Yu thought of kicking Yao Ni away with one foot, but then remembered that she had just been injured, so he stopped and asked Sang Zhen and Xi Fangni who were following behind: "How's her hand?"

  "It's already bandaged, but later on, one finger will be missing." San Zhen replied very calmly. Although she had been listening to Yao Nu saying that Mo Yi Er's little ball of fluff had bitten her finger, in her heart, she was very clear that Mo Yi Er's little ball of fluff normally never harmed people of their clan, so this time there must be some reason for it.

  "Alright! You can take a good rest now, you won't have to work for a while." He said, and then turned to leave.

  "Yao Nu retorted: 'Leader, what do you mean by this? My fingers are all broken and it's just going to be like that?! You've been deceived by Mo Yi Er! She's not a divine woman, she's a demon, a demon! Ka Sa Old Leader, say something! I was born under your watch, Old Leader!'"

  Kasa's face was full of wrinkles and knots as he hesitated. If the other person wasn't Mo Yier, he would have killed the little ball of fluff without hesitation. But since it was Mo Yier, he couldn't just ignore his own tribesman. He was the old chief of the tribe, and he loved the tribe and every single one of its people. The young and strong tribesmen were all born and raised under his watchful eye, and he had a special affection for them. But Mo Yier had only been in the tribe for less than a year, and despite her many contributions to the tribe, she still didn't have the same emotional connection with him. So Kasa hesitated. "Chu Huo, wait a minute, let's talk about how we should handle this situation."
