Chapter 264 Teammates Who Hold Us Back

The branch behind Qi Heng always makes those disheartening decisions, making the orcs outside feel extremely uncomfortable. The other orcs are furious with them, and their Spirit Fox Tribe receives no goodwill whatsoever throughout the entire Beast God Continent as a result.

Perhaps, in previous collaborations with other small and medium-sized tribes, those tribes, due to their own weakness and fear of the powerful Spirit Fox Tribe, had no choice but to eagerly seek the Spirit Fox Tribe's protection and assistance.

This obsequious attitude gradually fostered a self-righteous way of doing things in the Spirit Fox Tribe. They seemed to believe that they were the masters of the Beast God Continent, and that other tribes should grovel before them.

However, Ruan Xiyue's appearance completely shattered this illusion.

She possessed immense strength and majesty; her unassailable aura instilled an invisible pressure in all orcs who approached her.

She would never allow any orc to desecrate or trample on her in the slightest.

Qi Heng knew Ruan Xiyue's capabilities well, and he understood the consequences that would ensue if his relationship with her were affected.

That's why he cares so much about Ruan Xiyue's opinion of him. He longs to gain Ruan Xiyue's trust and love because he knows that only in this way can he secure a place among Ruan Xiyue's many outstanding beast husbands.

Qi Heng was extremely frustrated by this, and his heart was filled with pain and helplessness.

He couldn't help but think of his uncles and cousins ​​who had previously married into other tribes. Under pressure from their families, they had to give up their love and happiness to cater to the interests of their families.

He is now facing the same dilemma; he feels like a bird trapped in a cage, unable to fly freely.

They demanded that Qi Heng use all his charm to make Ruan Xiyue fall in love with him.

Yet they're doing everything they can to hold him back!

Other males' families, at the very least, are like Qin Ye's family, respecting their children's choices, not interfering with their new lives, and not causing trouble for their children.

Some are better, like Cong Xian's mother, who would occasionally show Ruan Xiyue warmth and care, bringing them closer and making Ruan Xiyue feel the warmth of family.

In an even better scenario, like the Treasure-Hunting Rat Tribe behind Li Miao, they would present high-class betrothal gifts, communicate with Ruan Xiyue in a humble and polite manner, treat her as an equal, and respect her opinions and choices.

However, Qi Heng's family is completely different.

They seem to have treated Qi Heng as a tool, willing to sacrifice Qi Heng's happiness for their own benefit.

Qi Heng felt the words of an older brother he had heard before, words that pierced his heart deeply: "They always know how to precisely humiliate me, making me unable to hold my head up again!"

Qi Heng was preoccupied with his own thoughts, while Dong Songlin was furious. He wished he could shove the orc's head into his chest and teach him a lesson.

Ruan Xiyue, on the other hand, was utterly speechless.

After seeing Cong Wen and Luo Qizhao off, she looked at Xia Weier, tilted her small head slightly, and said with a hint of doubt and helplessness in her eyes, "I really don't understand the Spirit Fox Tribe."

Xia Weier knew what Ruan Xiyue meant. He sighed softly, then shrugged and explained helplessly:

"Actually, it's easy to understand their mentality. When my mother was alive, the Beast King sent the most luxurious and wonderful things to the Spirit Fox Tribe through various means."

"Initially, the Spirit Fox Tribe was a large tribe that was cautious and timid. They were well aware of their own strength and status, so they were always humble and cautious. Otherwise, they would not have been able to occupy such a large area after becoming a large tribe."

"As a result, the Beast King's affection for my mother grew deeper and deeper, and he kept sending them all sorts of precious gifts and resources."

Later, after my mother passed away, and the Beast King continued to treat them with special favor, they became blinded by this pampering and gradually grew arrogant and conceited.

"They developed a misconception that if they were willing to condescend to communicate with other tribes, the other tribes should kneel down in gratitude, be humble, and treat them with utmost respect."

"Then, many small and medium-sized tribes, out of fear of the power of the Spirit Fox Tribe, did indeed do as the Spirit Fox Tribe wanted."

Xia Weier shrugged, a hint of sarcasm in his voice, and said, "This makes them think they're even more powerful! They think the entire Beast God Continent would immediately descend into chaos without their tribe!"

"Then, under the influence of this illusion, they became more and more arrogant and completely forgot their original intentions."

"Their elders and clan leaders all speak words of humility and deference, but their actions are often contradictory and contradictory!"

"It's a bit like what you described as a poor dog suddenly becoming rich, a nouveau riche with no morals."

Ruan Xiyue nodded, indicating that she understood. She then recounted her experiences and said:

"Originally, I wanted to see their attitude, but actually, when I returned from Bright Moon Beast City, they showed up in time and helped me, which touched me quite a bit!"

"As a result, the orcs they sent next made me think they weren't very bright. From what they said, I could clearly tell that they wanted to control and manipulate the Lion and Cheetah tribes, rather than treat us as equals."

"It's actually quite normal for larger interest groups to do this, but they don't even bother to pretend, at least not with a show of humility."

“I am very clear that if I let them get away with it at this time, and make them think that I am easy to talk to, then I will have to keep being easy to talk to from now on!”

"Adding to the issue of the Life Stealing spell, I thought I had to let them cool off for a while longer. I also offered 30,000 orcs to help build the city as a test."

"At first, I thought that if they felt guilty about what happened to my cubs and were willing to make amends, we would have to see how sincere they were."

"I didn't expect them to send 30,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people. It's amazing that they were able to select so many orcs. They even thought they could use this to put me in a superior position!"

"The Spirit Fox Tribe's bizarre tactics really make me feel that they are very divided. They want to suppress me, but what they are showing is not strength, but disgusting tricks. What an interesting tribe."

Xia Weier raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "Did you take a liking to Qi Heng back then because he was the best-looking among that batch of males sent over?"

Long Ze chuckled lightly, a hint of cold mockery in his eyes, looking on as if he were watching how Ruan Xiyue would explain herself.
