At that exact moment, Xuan Long slithered closer, his tail dragging Luo Chen and the crying Bai Lianhua behind him. The ground cracked under his weight. The sound of his movement scared them even more.
And just when it looked like the tribe was going to faint collectively...
Hu Yan suddenly leapt forward. He couldn't take it anymore.
His body changed in an instant, fur bursting out, and in one jump, a massive golden tiger landed in front of the tribe. His roar shook the air.
"Enough! Everyone calm down!"
The entire tribe froze.
Hu Yan's deep voice echoed again, loud and clear.
"He's not our enemy! He's my female's new mate!"
Silence.
Complete, heavy silence.
Every single beastman stared at him like their brains had stopped working.
Then they turned… and looked at Su Qinglan,
who was standing there, waving her hands nervously and shouting, "I told you not to attack!"
Their expressions were priceless, like someone had just dropped a boulder on their heads.
