Chapter 171
"Xiao Ruo, when the clothes arrive later, have everyone pick out their own to wear. I own a ready-made clothing shop, and there are plenty of clothes there. Don't be polite," Wang Jin said.
"!" Xiao Ruo widened his eyes in surprise. That… was not what he meant.
And what is a ready-made clothing shop?
Xiao Ruo was puzzled, but the people in the pavilion acted very quickly. Before long, a ger led the group to go wash up.
The members from the Danmu tribe who came this time were all beastmen, and they were not used to being led to bathe by a ger. Each of them appeared both shy and restrained. Wang Jin found this amusing and couldn't help but prop his chin in his hand, watching their awkwardness.
Nevertheless, they all eventually went to bathe.
In the courtyard, only some guards remained, along with Pan Shulin, who was under guard, and Wang Jin.
Wang Jin looked down disdainfully at Pan Shulin kneeling on the ground. His good mood instantly vanished upon seeing the venomous, snake-like glare in Pan Shulin's eyes.
He stood up and circled Pan Shilin, pondering in his heart how to deal with this person in a way that would be worthy of the original owner and himself.
"Should we throw him into the sea?"
Yuan Heng had just entered the door when he saw Wang Jin's troubled expression. He quickly offered the suggestion. Hearing this, Wang Jin lifted his gaze to look at him.
"Have you arranged everything for those beastmen?"
Yuan Heng nodded and said, "Tonight, the leaders of their tribe—the few good friends I know—will come over for a meal."
Upon hearing this, Wang Jin blinked and said, "Then shouldn't we ask Uncle Shan to prepare some dishes?"
"We still have some at home," Yuan Heng replied.
They discussed these domestic matters as if no one else was present. Though it was an extremely ordinary conversation, the atmosphere flowing between the two of them was exceptionally harmonious, so pleasant that anyone watching would feel warmed by it.
Pan Shulin's expression grew increasingly dark. What he hated most was seeing the ger in front of him live comfortably.
Feeling the impact of that sinister gaze, Wang Jin felt extremely uncomfortable. Yuan Heng also noticed Pan Shulin and subtly shielded Wang Jin in his embrace.
"Ger, shall we deal with this person as previously discussed?" Yuan Heng asked again.
Wang Jin said, "Of course we should. Not only that, we should add two more days, and settle the account for sending people to murder me this time as well."
Hearing this, Yuan Heng frowned tightly. "He targeted you again this time?"
Only then did Wang Jin realize he had misspoken. He hurriedly closed his mouth and said nothing more, but Yuan Heng's face turned ashen, his entire body emitting a cold, piercing aura like ice daggers directed at the kneeling Pan Shulin.
Wang Jin reached out, wanting to tell the man in front of him that he was fine, but the powerful aura was so intense that even he felt discomfort. Wang Jin had a premonition that if he spoke now, the man would surely become even angrier.
He simply stopped talking. The man then stepped forward, grabbed Pan Shulin, and led Wang Jin out the door.
Afterward, Wang Jin personally watched as Yuan Heng, who never usually bothered with gers, threw Pan Shulin into the seawater. He found a piece of driftwood, tied Pan Shulin to it, and then tied the driftwood to the shore with a rope...
Finding his noise annoying, he also gagged his mouth...
Wave after wave crashed against Pan Shulin, washing over him until his face turned pale. His thin frame trembled violently from the force of the waves. He wanted to struggle but was tied up tightly. When the waves hit him too hard, he even tried to sink, but the driftwood held him firmly on the surface of the sea...
Wang Jin found this quite satisfying to watch, though after a while, he lost interest and followed Yuan Heng back.
When they returned, Xiao Ruo and the others had already changed into new clothes. The clothes fit very well, and the beastmen from the Danmu tribe looked much more handsome than before.
Wang Jin praised them repeatedly, until the newcomers' faces were flushed red. Yuan Heng watched this, a trace of jealousy appearing in his eyes, his light amber-colored pupils fixed on the crowd with displeasure.
The group felt as if they had returned to the Danmu tribe, back when they went to see Wang Jin with Yuan Heng glaring at them vigilantly from the side.
Their faces paled, and they hurriedly found various excuses to slip away—except for Xiao Ruo...
"......" Yuan Heng stared fixedly at him, as if looking at a corpse. The words "go away" were practically written on his face.
Xiao Ruo's fingers trembled, his smile stiffened on his face, and his legs instinctively wanted to run. Yet, he steeled himself and sat down beside Wang Jin.
"Jin… Jin ger… this is…" Xiao Ruo swallowed hard and pulled out a small, fluffy, furry bracelet from his embrace.
It was yellow and extremely cute.
Under immense pressure, Xiao Ruo handed the bracelet to Wang Jin and quickly explained, "Mu ger asked me to give this to you."
"A-Mu!" Wang Jin was overjoyed. He took the bracelet, looked at it, and tried it on his own wrist, finding it a perfect fit.
"Mu ger gave birth to a little beastman. This is made from the little beastman's fur. He asked me to bring it to you to share the good news and to express his apologies. He said that since the little beastman was just born, neither A-Yuan nor he can come to see you."
"......" This thing is made from A-Mu's son's fur...
Wang Jin's hand trembled: Could a normal infant have such long and plentiful fur? And it's yellow...
This yellow looks just like the fur of the yellow tigers from the Danmu tribe...
Does that mean... the child was born in his beast form?
Then what about... the one inside my own belly?
Wang Jin took a deep breath and stiffly clutched his stomach.
"What's wrong, ger?" Yuan Heng was constantly attentive to Wang Jin. Seeing him holding his stomach, he immediately grew nervous and sat closer. "Is your stomach uncomfortable? Is the baby in your belly bullying you?"
"...Be... belly... baby in your belly?" Xiao Ruo looked at Wang Jin's stomach in surprise.
