Wente, utterly confused, urged, "Explain yourself more clearly!"
Reiter then selectively recounted their acquaintance. "I fell for her the moment I saw her, but she was very indifferent, never speaking to me, always wanting to leave the tribe. I had to use forceful means to keep her."
"I got her body but not her heart, so I thought of tricking her into staying devotedly..."
"How did you trick her?"
"Ahem," Reiter coughed unnaturally.
"I lied, saying that dragon beasts have a secret technique that senses their mate's location, letting her know she could never shake me off. For this, I even tracked her for several days before she believed me." Thinking back to those times he watched the female go to the restroom, he really wanted to...
Shuxin being devoid of desires didn't mean she was shameless. Anyone stalked and spied on by a pervert, at any time and place, would likely be driven to madness, even a saint!
Wente's expression was hard to describe. He sincerely commented, "You truly have no shame."
Reiter's face flushed strangely. He had no other choice but to do that. If Xiner were like other females, he would have followed the normal steps of pursuit...
"Ahem, I was also afraid of pushing her too far and causing her to do something drastic, so I stated the conditions for mating. But as you know, she doesn't even know if she has feelings for me, so why would she make a phantom beast garment for me?"
"Therefore, I had to collude with my father and the shaman to tell a lie. Once she conceived my cub, I would then complete the ritual."
As a male, he knew he had wronged Xiner greatly, but he loved her too much. Just possessing her body wasn't enough; he wanted her heart to belong to him completely!
Finally, he said solemnly, "Wente, you must keep this a secret, and don't tell your female. As long as we don't speak of it, Xiner won't know. I suspect she's not a female from the Beast Continent at all. She doesn't speak the beast language and knows nothing of common knowledge."
Though blinded by love, he still possessed basic rationality. Sleeping together every day, how could he not notice some discrepancies? It was just a matter of not telling outsiders.
Wente, leaning towards his own kind, tacitly agreed to keep the secret. However, "Are you sure? Yueyue and your female are sisters. Yueyue has parents, though they are dead. But everyone in the Wuda tribe knows about them.
He then added with some confusion, "Also, I've never heard anyone from the Wuda tribe mention Yueyue having a sister. I always thought Yueyue's parents only had her as their only child."
If only he had inquired more about Yueyue's parents from his father earlier.
"Is that so?" Reiter fell into thought. His feelings wouldn't be wrong. The fear on Xiner's face when she first saw a beast transform into its beast form, he couldn't have misread it!
"Tell me, how did you and your female meet?"
"We..." Speaking of their meeting, Wente recalled.
"Yueyue was in a very bad state then, intent on ending her life. I kept watching her... Later, she slowly accepted me." He was incredibly grateful for his impulse to go out and train, otherwise, he wouldn't have met Yueyue~
Reiter, listening to his account, fell into deeper confusion. "As expected of sisters, she's quite similar to Xiner when I first met her. Could it really be due to the death of their parents?"
But that wasn't right. Even if she was traumatized by her parents' death, she shouldn't be unable to speak!
His expression suddenly turned solemn. "Wente, I've discovered something very strange!"
"Shu Yue and Shu Xin are biological sisters; it's evident from their appearance. But how did Shu Xin arrive at the Warrior Tribe, and even falling from the sky!"
Wente was astonished. "From the sky? Suddenly fell from the sky?"
Reiter nodded. "Yes, on the day of the Yellow Moon Festival, right after the shaman finished the sacrifice, she fell from the sky. I happened to be in the river washing off poison that day, and Xin'er fell onto me..."
The impact didn't hurt, but it was...
"Ahem, I can confirm there was absolutely nothing flying overhead at the time. When we returned to the tribe, my father told me the shaman had divined a messenger of the beast god. I always thought Xin'er was that messenger."
"..." Wente felt as if the beast god was playing a joke on them. One in the Wuda tribe, and now a suspected one in the Warrior Tribe too?
"Brother, I haven't told you yet, but when I was in the Wuda tribe before, the Wuda shaman also divined a messenger of the beast god, and the Wuda tribe had such an outsider female."
He then told Reiter about Miao Xiaocui. Reiter asked, "What did she teach you?"
Wente replied, "Basket weaving. The bamboo baskets were taught by that female. I heard she could also do arithmetic, but my arithmetic was taught by Yueyue."
"？What is arithmetic?" Reiter was completely bewildered.
Wente gave him examples, and Reiter immediately understood the importance of arithmetic. Then, a new question arose, "Let's not mention the beast god's messenger for now, but how did your female know it?"
"This..." Wente suddenly lost his words. He had never considered this question before. He only knew Yueyue knew many things but hadn't thought deeply about it.
Seeing him like this, Reiter felt instantly balanced. He said meaningfully, "It seems your female also has many secrets."
Wente shook his head, not wanting to delve deeper. "Everyone has secrets. I only know she is my mate, and she is now carrying my cub, which is enough."
"..." Reiter felt a pang in his heart!
Yes, secrets weren't important at all. This Wente kid was now reaping rewards with both a female and a child!
A winner in beast life! He didn't want to admit he was a bit jealous!
"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. Yueyue is still waiting for me. Come to my cave tomorrow morning; I need your help with something."
Reiter's mouth twitched. "What help?" Why was this kid becoming so demanding!
"You'll know tomorrow." With that, he flew away.
He shouted from behind, "Wente, you're flying the wrong way!"
Wente stopped in mid-air and said irritably, "Didn't you say you were coming out to find eggs to eat? I need to go find them quickly. If I go back empty-handed, Yueyue will question me. With my abilities, it's unbelievable that I haven't found an egg for so long. If Yueyue asks me the reason, I'll tell her the truth."
Reiter, hearing this, was stunned. "Can't you just make up an excuse?"
Wente looked at him with the gaze one reserves for a scumbag. "I won't lie to Yueyue. She's very smart; even if I lied, she would see through it." The implication was that he would never do something so foolish!
Yueyue was already pregnant; he couldn't make her angry.
Before leaving, he advised Reiter again, "Brother, I think it's best if you quickly confess to Yueyue. Deception won't win a female's true heart!"
With that, he hurried off to find eggs.
