Chapter 106: Chapter 108: Shouldn’t You Compensate Me? (Xiao Ye’s Jealousy)

"I’m telling you guys, Su Luoluo slept with three Beastmen all night!" a Beastman gossiped animatedly in the tribal square.

"No way! For someone like Su Luoluo, having even one Beastman is a stretch. Three? Your lie is just too obvious."

"It’s true! Why would I lie? When I went to notify Su Luoluo about the Holy Fire, I saw Fu Feng, Mo Xuan, and Lizard all walk out of her room with my own two eyes."

"Tsk, tsk. You really can’t judge a book by its cover. To think Su Luoluo could handle three of them all by herself!"

"So does that mean Su Luoluo has consummated her union with a few of her Beastmen now?"

"I doubt it. Nantu still seems pretty reluctant to get close to her. And Xiao Ye was sent away on business by the leader, so he couldn’t have consummated their union either."

"That’s a real shame for Xiao Ye, then!"

The part of Xiao Ye’s heart that longed for Su Luoluo stopped dead in its tracks, and a darkness began to creep in.

’Those three are really going at it. Aren’t they worried Su Luoluo won’t be able to handle them?’

At the thought of those three taking advantage of his absence to be with Su Luoluo, a storm of emotions raged within Xiao Ye.

He had already been sour enough about Su Luoluo being with Luan Ting.

And now it was three of them at once.

’She really must have endless energy.’

Gritting his teeth, Xiao Ye strode through the tribe. His normally slow gait quickened significantly, and losing patience, he simply teleported, flashing past everyone.

The group, deep in their enthusiastic gossiping, saw a purple figure flash by. They blinked. "I didn’t just see things, did I? It looked like something flashed past."

"I saw it too. It was purple. Looked a bit like Xiao Ye."

"Well, now we’ve got a good show to watch," someone in the crowd said.

The crowd grew restless, eager to follow and watch the drama unfold. But soon after, a bone whistle sounded. "Everyone, gather in the square to welcome the arrival of the Holy Fire."

Hearing this, the group had no choice but to give up and head toward the square.

When Xiao Ye arrived at the Wild Kitchen, he found it deserted. He then teleported to Su Luoluo’s room but saw no sign of her there, either.

Just as he was about to set off to find Su Luoluo, the piercing sound of the bone whistle rang out, and he could only give up for now.

In the tribe, whenever something important happened, the bone whistle would be blown to summon everyone to the tribal square.

As a member of the tribe, Xiao Ye was no exception. He followed the crowd to the square.

In the distance, many people spotted Su Luoluo and began to murmur, recalling the recent gossip. At the same time, some noted with surprise:

"Is it just me, or did Su Luoluo get prettier after her trip to Heavenly God Mountain?"

"You’re right, I noticed it too. She’s slimmed down a lot. Her thick waist and thunder thighs are gone."

"Now that you mention it, Su Luoluo’s got a pretty great figure. No wonder those three couldn’t restrain themselves the moment she returned."

When Xiao Ye heard this, his gaze grew even more intense.

Su Luoluo was the one who brought back the Holy Fire this time. Therefore, according to custom, it was her duty to light the tribe’s sacred flame.

Following Su Yang’s instructions, Su Luoluo held a torch and walked slowly from a distance.

On the stage in the center of the square, a giant torch had been placed. It was set up by the Wolf Clan Tribe to welcome the Holy Fire.

Once the torch was lit, it would become the tribe’s Holy Fire, and everyone would have to revere and worship it.

Dressed in a white beast skin, Su Luoluo slowly approached the central torch. Everyone in the tribe watched her with solemn expressions.

Su Luoluo held her breath and used her torch to light the large torch on the center of the stage.

Back on Heavenly God Mountain, the flame had nearly failed to catch, so Su Luoluo was being extra cautious this time.

She secretly channeled more of her Fire Ability to sustain the torch’s flame.

In the crowd, Su Nuannuan saw Su Luoluo appearing to struggle, and a smirk touched the corners of her lips.

’So what if she brought back the Holy Fire? Only the one who can light it is blessed by the Heavenly God.’

’Su Luoluo was struck by heavenly lightning before. If she fails to light the Holy Fire this time, it will prove she’s an ill-omened person, unprotected by the Heavenly God!’

Su Nuannuan’s eyes glinted with dark light as her gaze fell heavily on the person on stage.

’This time, they’ll have to banish Su Luoluo for sure!’

’Once she’s gone, those six Beastmen will be mine.’

Su Nuannuan stared intently at the stage, not missing a single detail, terrified she would miss any moment of Su Luoluo’s humiliation.

Yet, to her utter surprise, the torch burst into flame.

Seeing this, her body stiffened, her face a mask of disbelief.

’How is that possible? I sprinkled water on that pinewood torch beforehand. How could Su Luoluo still light it?’

’Maybe I didn’t use enough water?’

’To avoid being discovered, I secretly sprinkled some water on it early this morning. It wasn’t a lot, but the sun isn’t even out yet. There’s no way the torch could have dried so quickly!’

When Su Luoluo was using her Fire Ability to light the torch, she also noticed that the firewood was a bit damp.

But she quickly used her Water Ability to draw the moisture out from the torch’s surface.

Thus, the torch was dry once more, and it quickly burst into flames.

Seeing the torch lit, Su Yang raised his hands to the heavens, knelt, and shouted:

"We thank the Heavenly God for bestowing the Holy Fire upon our tribe! We will treat it with reverence. May the Heavenly God forever bless us with thriving descendants and boundless fortune, and grant us abundant food and healthy bodies!"

Hearing this, the Beastmen below the stage all knelt and shouted in unison, "We thank the Heavenly God for His blessings and protection!"

Su Nuannuan hadn’t yet recovered from her shock, but she knelt on the ground along with everyone else.

Her head was bowed, but her heart was filled with resentment.

’Why is this happening? How did Su Luoluo manage to get out of this?’

’The poison I smeared on the beast skin last time didn’t affect her at all either.’

’Could it be because she has a superpower?’

After his shout, Su Yang looked happily at the crowd below and announced, "I have more good news for everyone today! This Holy Fire was lit by Su Luoluo on Heavenly God Mountain. The Heavenly God will surely bless our Wolf Clan!"

Hearing this, the Beastmen below looked delighted.

Only someone blessed by the Heavenly God could be chosen by the Heavenly God to light the Holy Fire.

For Su Luoluo to be chosen meant she was blessed by the Heavenly God.

"Luoluo is amazing!"

"Luoluo is amazing!"

"Luoluo is amazing!"

...

For a moment, the crowd erupted in cheers, all looking at Su Luoluo.

Su Luoluo hadn’t realized that successfully lighting the Holy Fire carried such significance.

She didn’t know if it was true, but she was still happy to be seen as a bringer of good fortune.

She nodded and smiled at the people below.

Most of the gazes were friendly, save for one that was vicious and sinister.

Su Luoluo glanced at it and quickly looked away. She didn’t need a second look to know it was Su Nuannuan.

Just now, while lighting the flame, she’d seen Su Nuannuan staring at her, a gloating smile in her eyes.

’She must have tampered with the torch.’

’Su Yang is a meticulous person. He wouldn’t make such an obvious mistake. Someone must have sabotaged it.’

Su Luoluo pursed her lips. ’Su Nuannuan only knows how to pull these kinds of dirty tricks. It’s so boring.’

A fresh wave of hatred washed over Su Nuannuan as she watched the crowd cheer for Su Luoluo.

’If my face hadn’t been ruined, this honor today should have been mine.’

After the lighting ceremony ended, Su Luoluo started wandering around the Wild Kitchen.

She’d seen raspberries the other day and had been craving cake ever since. She could build a small earthen oven to bake one.

Unfortunately, the soil near the Wild Kitchen wasn’t very suitable, so she had to search farther away.

After finally finding the right kind of soil in a patch of woods, she squatted down to take a closer look.

Her body was embraced from behind, and a warm body pressed against her back. A low, husky voice said, "Su Luoluo, don’t you think you should compensate me?"

"Xiao Ye, what are you talking about?" Su Luoluo was taken aback.

Xiao Ye’s hand trailed along Su Luoluo’s jaw before suddenly seizing it. Pressing close to her ear, he said in a chilling voice, "On Heavenly God Mountain, it was Luan Ting. Back here, you didn’t even spare Fu Feng, Mo Xuan, or Lizard. Su Luoluo, did you use my absence to sleep with every single one of them?"
