Chapter 88: Unlucky Original Owner

    

e careful and safe when carrying out his mission. After hanging up, she waited for her department head's questions.After Yang Bin returned, it was her turn. But as an assistant, she didn't know anythi..."This is a case of nestling affection!"

After Yànjiā recovered from her injuries in the Lion Tribe, she slowly integrated into the tribe's life. When she learned that her original body was Sāng's betrothed, she tearfully apologized to her original body and said that it was because she didn't know before, plus Sāng was her savior, so she made a fuss. From now on, she would keep her distance from Sāng.

After obtaining Yan Jia's promise, the original owner felt relieved. After all, people in the beast world were straightforward and didn't beat around the bush. They simply didn't bring up the matter again.

Besides, Yan Jia is cute and well-behaved, with a completely different appearance from the original owner's spirited look. This easily arouses the beastmen's protective instincts, so Yan Jia is very popular in the tribe.

Soon after, Yan Jia discovered two edible foods while participating in a collective harvest: potatoes and sweet potatoes. Both were highly filling and could satisfy the appetites of the female beastmen, which also solidified Yan Jia's position within the Lion Tribe.

Before her original self realized, her future partner Sang had fallen in love with Yan Jia. However, because of the original owner's existence, he dared not openly break the promise of the bond. If he did so, he would be scorned by all the male lion-shifters in the pride.

And the understanding Yan Jia also discovered Sang's thoughts, she was deeply touched, feeling that she had not chosen the wrong person. So she decided to seize her own happiness, and then there was this plot where the original owner almost died in a beast's mouth while picking fruit, making way for Yan Jia.

When Sang learned that the original body had left the team and disappeared, he had missed the best time to track it. When he arrived, all he saw was a pool of blood, and there was no trace of the original body left. This made Sang heartbroken, but at the same time, he felt a sense of relief. He felt that this was all arranged by the beast god.

Sang only brought back one beast skin boot from the encounter, proving that the other had returned to the embrace of the beast god. After this, Sang fell into a period of despair, but Yan Jia was by his side, comforting him and helping him through the darkest moments. Their hearts gradually drew closer, and in the end, they naturally formed a bond.

When Sang and Yan Jia's second beast cub was born, their original form, with a ferocious and hideous visage and one severed arm, returned to the tribe.

Originally, she was bitten on the arm by a black panther, bleeding profusely and fainting from pain. She was rescued by a lone male beastman and taken away from the Lion Tribe while she was unconscious.

This wandering beastman is a member of the Black Serpent clan. He is naturally cruel and was driven out of his clan for harming the female beastmen within it.

After leaving his clan, he wandered the public domain. He was drawn by the pungent smell of blood that day and managed to save his original self in time.

Especially after confirming the other party was a female orc, he immediately left the Lion clan's territory after stopping the bleeding from her broken limbs. The black panther that injured her was drained of its blood, used to cover his tracks. Male orcs have very sensitive noses.

Falling into the hands of a cruel individual, the original owner could only describe her situation with one word: "pathetic." She became nothing more than a tool for childbirth. The original owner was unwilling to be treated this way and longed to escape.

But every time she ran, she wouldn't get far before being dragged back. After several rounds of this, Du lost his patience and directly attacked the original owner, breaking one of her legs and disfiguring her face, turning her into a hideous monster.

Thus, after growing up with her only child, she returned to the lion pride with the help of her own children. However, what greeted her was the happiness and fulfillment of Sang and Yanjia. Even though she claimed that she had been framed by Yanjia and put in danger, the lions did not believe her.

Because Yan Jia greatly improved the living conditions of the female beastmen in the Lion Clan during her time there, she discovered many previously undiscovered foods in the forest and, using known seasonings, cooked delicious and palatable meals. Her status was second only to the shaman.

Her original, calm and happy life was hers. It was this sudden appearance of a female that made her unable to return home and turned her into this ghastly sight. So, that night she ordered her black serpent sons to attack the lion pride's territory.

>>> All of this could have been anticipated by Yan Jia, who alerted her partner Sang to the actions of the original body's family in advance. He then led their tribe to surround and kill them, completely cutting off any hope of the original body returning to the lion clan.
