Her words dropped like stones into water, spreading shock through everyone.
"What?"
"Kill her?"
"He's from our tribe!"
"How could he...?"
Murmurs and shouts mixed together, the crowd now burning with anger and disbelief.
Su Qinglan shrugged lightly, her tone calm and almost tired. "I thought that was the end. But then Xuan Long appeared… he saved me. If not for him, I wouldn't even be standing here today."
She looked toward Xuan Long, her eyes softening slightly. "He protected me from the beasts, chased off the danger, and brought me back safely to the cave."
Her words were simple, but every single person could feel the weight behind them.
The silence that followed was heavy.
Then suddenly, someone shouted from the crowd, "A beastman from our tribe tried to kill a female?!"
Another growled, "That's… that's evilness! No beastman can do that!"
"He betrayed his own kind! He's disgusting!"
