Even his own father didn't believe him. How sad was this?
Lin Xiao walked in front of Ya Heng, stood still and looked at Bai Yun, ”On what basis are you hitting him?”
”Because I'm his father.” Bai Yun frowned.
”Father, why are you not treating him as your son? He's already an adult, and you can't interfere with his choice. Even if you're the clan leader, you don't have the right.” Lin Xiao said without hiding anything.
Bai Yun looked at the female in front of him and said, ”Then let's make a bet. If you ask for the tribe's help during the rainy season, you will have to accept the males we arranged for you as wives and children after the rainy season.”
This was such a vicious condition. Lin Ya was so scared that he cried, ”You can't do this, you can't …”
Kagel said angrily, ”Patriarch, you can't do this!”
”You don't have the right to speak here. You need the protection of the tribe, so you have to pay the price!” The High Priest said loudly.
Ya Heng was about to step forward, but he was stopped by Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao stared at the High Priest and said, ”If we survive this, you are not allowed to cause trouble with us.”
”Sure, I'll see what you guys can do!” After Bai Yun promised them, he turned around and left.
Lin Ya's eyes were filled with tears as he watched Lin Xiao walk away. He grabbed Lin Xiao and said, ”Lin Xiao, I don't want to be someone else's partner. I don't want to.”
Lin Xiao patted his shoulder and said, ”Trust me, it's okay. I want them to have a look this time. We are not at his mercy.”
Ever since Bai Yun left, Ya Heng's mood had never been high.
Although he tried his best not to show it, Lin Xiao could still see it.
Similarly, Lin Ya had been in a daze ever since they left.
He even went out and sat in the yard without moving.
When Lin Xiao went out to see him, he was crying. He walked over and sat beside Lin Ya. ”Don't be afraid, I will protect you.”
”Yes.” Lin Ya tried his best to wipe his tears away, but the more he did so, the more tears flowed.
Lin Xiao started to feel that Lin Ya was like a little girl other than his gender. He was sensitive, timid and needed to be protected by others. As a man, he wanted to protect Lin Ya.
”Calm down here, I'll go cook.” Lin Xiao patted Lin Ya on the shoulder and entered the room.
Just as he was fetching water and cooking, Kagel approached him and whispered, ”Lin Ya is very pitiful. If something goes wrong this time, the Patriarch will really give him to other beastmen.”
Lin Xiao looked at Kagel in disbelief, ”Why are you giving it to others?”
”There is a rule in the tribe that females must choose their partners when they reach their age. If their partners die, they must accept the distribution in the tribe to other males, and that is, if they don't give birth to the little orcs for a long period of time, they will also be separated and redistributed to other males.” Kagel didn't look too good as he said that.
Hearing that, Lin Xiao's expression turned even worse. ”What the hell is this?!” Is he even f * cking human? ” He had just finished cursing when he realized that these people weren't human after all.
Seeing Kagel looking at him and completely not understanding what he was saying, Lin Xiao then explained, ”I mean, how can this be? Do you not care about the other party's wishes? ”
”Because there are very few females and their survival rate is very low, that's why it is like this. If it wasn't for the fact that you are a female, you might not have been able to live here.” After saying that, Kagel quickly covered his mouth and cursed himself for letting his mouth slip.
But Lin Xiao heard it. Previously, Ya Heng said he didn't like black-haired people here, so he had doubts about why he was left behind as well. It was because he was the so-called female in their eyes.
