Chapter 159 The Rule Breaker (Bonus Chapter 13 for the Ancient Tickets)
“I have already sworn an oath to the Beast God, what are you so nervous about? I don’t understand.” Li Miao still acted as if he didn’t think he had done anything wrong.
Qin Ye and Cong Xian arrived in the living room when Jiu Chen and Li Miao came downstairs.
Jiu Chen felt extremely disgusted by Li Miao's indifference.
Although he and Ruan Xiyue's other beast husbands didn't have particularly good relationships, none of them reached the point where he disliked them.
However, it would be best if this Limou didn't mate with his little female after giving birth. He genuinely disliked Limou!
What he disliked was that the other person lacked a sense of propriety, did things that crossed boundaries, and acted as if it was no big deal.
This made him deeply disgusted with these orcs and their attitude!
Long Ze and Qin Ye are both orcs with a strong sense of boundaries. Although Xia Weier hasn't had much contact with Jiu Chen, Jiu Chen knows that Xia Weier's inherent pride prevents him from doing anything that would damage his reputation.
Even if Cong Xian overheard someone's private conversation, he wouldn't go over and ask you directly.
Only Li Miao, who was eavesdropping on other people's conversations, didn't think he had done anything wrong. He even went over to offer his opinion and asked what was going on.
This was something that made Jiu Chen extremely uncomfortable!
There was an unspoken rule that everyone agreed that what Ruan Xiyue said when she gathered everyone together was something that everyone needed to know.
Alternatively, one of the beastmen might openly invite someone or inform others that the other party needs help before the matter is discussed openly.
Even if they accidentally overheard each other's secrets in private.
It's just something we tacitly understand; we won't bring it up in the open or ask others for details.
What they disliked about Li Miao was that he completely disregarded the rules and did whatever he wanted.
Without any sense of propriety, they trespass into other people's uncomfortable areas and then dance wildly on them, acting as if to say, "I heard you all, I swore to the Beast God. What's there to be uncomfortable about?"
This is what makes them most uncomfortable, like a fishbone stuck in their throat, a thorn in their back, or sitting on pins and needles!
“If you can follow our rules, you can stay here. If not, please leave!” Jiu Chen said bluntly.
Li Miao shrugged: "As far as I know, you're not in charge of this family, are you?"
Qin Ye stepped forward: "Then, in your eyes, do I, as the number one beast husband, have the right to make decisions?"
Li Miao raised an eyebrow at Qin Ye and spread his hands: "The First Beast Husband has the right to make decisions, but I think we should listen to the Holy Mother Xi Yue, right? Since she allowed me to stay, I will definitely wait until she fulfills her promise to me before leaving!"
“She promised to have my babies! So you have no right to kick me out. Besides, I don’t think I did anything wrong, and your reaction is too extreme.”
Li Miao's few words left Qin Ye and Jiu Chen speechless, as if they were holding their breath in their chests.
Xian then spoke up: "If you don't plan to spend more time with us in the future, then please do as you please."
Cong Xian turned to Qin Ye and Jiu Chen: "Don't set your expectations too high. He won't stay with us for long. It's just a matter of enduring for a while."
You are judging him by the standards and perspectives you expect him to have for the rest of his life.
Therefore, you feel that he is breaking the established rules in this home, which makes you somewhat uncomfortable.
But if he won't be living with us for long, there's no need to demand that he abide by the established order between us based on the premise that we'll be living together for a long time. Isn't that right?
Qin Ye and Jiu Chen were silent for a moment, then nodded and walked into the kitchen together.
Qin Ming looked at Cong Xian's father and whispered to Qin Ying, "See? Cong Xian's father is so handsome! I want to be a beastman that handsome when I grow up!"
Qin Ying scratched her head: "But I think Li Muxiong is even more handsome! He's so free-spirited. And he can even keep his three fathers so angry they can't even vent their anger!"
Ruan Gang scoffed: "Are you sure they were just speechless because they were blocked from saying a word, and not because they were simply ignoring him?"
Ruan Ling sighed, "I feel like Mother has taken all the handsome men as our fathers. When I grow up, won't I be all alone in my old age?"
"What, don't you like the beast-taming cubs that your mother arranged for you with Aunt Luo Yurou and Aunt Chu Jiayun?" Qin Ying asked.
Ruan Ling rolled her eyes: "Who would like a male who cries as soon as I bully him! He's not even as good as my third brother! Last time I was playing around with my third brother, I hit his little ding-ding, and he was in so much pain! But he didn't cry in front of me!"
Ruan Gang stared blankly at Ruan Ling. The adorable little iron-eating beast was about to cry from embarrassment and anger, but he held back and turned away to curl himself into a ball.
Qin Ming looked at Qin Ying: "My sister's marriage will be a problem in the future."
Qin Ying sighed, "Then we, as her older brothers, must become stronger! Whoever our sister takes a fancy to, we'll snatch her away if we have to, to make her her beast husband! Otherwise... with her personality, who would dare to take a partner!"
As the four little ones spoke, the ear-piercing cries of "Brother, brother, brother! Brother, play hide-and-seek with us!" kept emanating from the cub enclosure behind them.
Qin Ming shook his head: "Childish! My younger brothers and sisters are so childish! Sigh—"
Qin Ying suggested, "Why don't we have a competition? Whoever bites Cong Xian's father's ankle first will be the boss!"
Qin Ming dashed out.
Qin Ying and Ruan Gang shouted behind him, "You shameless scoundrel! We haven't even said 'start' yet!"
As Ruan Ling watched her three brothers rush out, she said, "You call others childish! I've never seen a male more childish than my brothers!"
Meanwhile, Li Miao still didn't think there was anything wrong with him. He continued to wander around the house without any discomfort, looking at this and listening to Jiu Chen and Qin Ye's conversation.
Although Jiu Chen and Qin Ye spoke in hushed tones and would even fall silent if they sensed he was eavesdropping, he felt no shame whatsoever.
He was living a very comfortable life at home, while the other three husbands became increasingly taciturn.
The peaceful days didn't last long. Before the sea salt business between the Lion Clan and the Cheetah Clan was even finalized, the beastmen of the Spirit Fox Tribe arrived in a large force.
Qi Heng looked exhausted, but when he saw Ruan Xiyue, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
“Thirty thousand male orcs went directly to the new orc city to establish it. I came to see you! I missed you.” Qi Heng put his arm around Ruan Xiyue’s waist and pulled her directly into his arms.
Li Mu raised an eyebrow and asked the orc beside him, "Who is he?"
The lion-like beastman beside Li Miao glanced at Li Miao and said, "Him? Isn't he the sixth beast husband of the Holy Consort Xi Yue, who hasn't even tied the knot yet?"
