Oh No, Daddy Sent Me To The Beast World!-Chapter 20: Why are you speaking as if you can take my male?

Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Why are you speaking as if you can take my male?

The moment those words left Lin Huahua’s lips everywhere became silent. Every tribe member thought that she had finally lost it.

Some of them even though of going to inform their king about his daughter’s situation but most of them did not dare just in case they were wrong.

"So the rumors were true?" One of the village females whispered to another one by her side.

And that one who was surrounded by her males shook her head and said "You dare to believe this vicious female’s act? Something tells me this is all a show for Wei Ranshu all over again" The woman said with a bit of detest in her voice.

Even her males quickly nodded in approval.

No one could believe that their princess had finally decided to accept her males. Because the Lin Huahua they remembered treated her mates like burdens, and she acted like the mating bonds were chains forced on her, so she openly rejected them, ignored them, beat them, and then ran off chasing Wei Ranshu like her life depended on his attention.

So when she called Feng Yiren "my male" so naturally, it sounded like the world had flipped upside down.

Su Yanrong stared at Lin Huahua like she was looking at a stranger wearing the princess’s face.

"What do you mean?" Su Yanrong demanded, because her pride would not allow her to accept what she was seeing.

Lin Huahua’s smile stayed sweet, but her eyes turned sharper, because she enjoyed watching Su Yanrong struggle.

"What I mean is very simple," Lin Huahua replied calmly, because she wanted the crowd to hear her clearly. "Why are you speaking as if you can take my male?"

Su Yanrong’s chest tightened.

She wanted to scoff, but the crowd’s attention made her hesitate.

Her males also stiffened, because they did not like seeing their precious beautiful female humiliated, and they did not like seeing her focus on another male.

One of Su Yanrong’s mates stepped forward slightly, standing beside her like a guard, and his gaze locked on Feng Yiren with hostility.

In his mind, he thought that the fox must be trying to steal their female, because males often misunderstood other males as threats even when the true problem was their female’s wandering eyes.

Feng Yiren noticed those glares, and his fox instincts reacted instantly.

His ears perked and angled toward the hostile males, his tail puffed slightly, and his body shifted into a ready stance.

Fox beastmen were clever, but they were also predators, and when threatened, Feng Yiren could become sharp and dangerous very quickly.

Lin Huahua watched the tension rise, and she found it ridiculous, because this was not even a real "stealing female" situation.

Su Yanrong’s mates were glaring at Feng Yiren as if he wanted Su Yanrong, but Feng Yiren looked like he would rather chew dirt than touch her.

Su Yanrong tried to regain control by leaning into the tribe’s memories of the old Lin Huahua.

She sneered, "You say ’my male’ now, but who are you fooling? Everyone knows you never wanted them. Everyone knows you only wanted Wei Ranshu. You chained these men to you like pets, then you ignored them."

The crowd stirred, because even though the words were disrespectful, many people had whispered those same thoughts before.

Some tribe members pitied the males bound to the princess. Besides they were all strong, handsome and powerful males yet she never cherished them.

Some believed it was unfair that high-ranking beastmen were locked to a female who hated them.

Some had secretly resented the princess for wasting mates that other females would treasure.

Su Yanrong was taking advantage of that resentment, because she wanted the crowd to support her, or at least doubt Lin Huahua.

Lin Huahua’s smile faded slightly, because the insult was not just toward her, it was toward her mates, and she did not like that.

Feng Yiren tensed beside her, because those words poked his insecurity.

Even now, with Lin Huahua changing, Feng Yiren could not fully trust it, because years of being treated badly trained him to assume he would eventually be discarded.

Feng Yiren’s jaw clenched, and he could feel the bitter thought rise in him, he kept thinking that maybe Lin Huahua would dump him again.

Feng Yiren hated that thought and feeling like that. He remembered nights he cried in secret because Lin Huahua would punish him to the point that even healing would become extremely hard for him.

So naturally he could not fully trust Lin Huahua yet, but still he would never stand by and watch this version of Lin Huahua get insulted.

Then Feng Yiren’s mouth moved before his brain could stop it.

"Shut up," Feng Yiren snapped, and his voice carried the sharpness of a fox who had reached his limit. "It does not matter if my female wants me or not. I want her."

Those words hit the crowd like thunder, because they were bold and shameless and possessive in a way that made people’s hearts race.

The tribe members stared at Feng Yiren, because they did not expect him to say it so loudly.

Su Yanrong froze, because the rejection stung her pride.

Lin Huahua’s cheeks heated instantly, because even though she was trying to look composed, she was still a girl who had lived her whole life being pampered, and a male declaring he wanted her like that made her heart flutter in an annoying way.

This shameless fox! Even pa could not make me get a boyfriend for the 18 years I have lived and now you dare to claim me without asking?

Lin Huahua could only pout but still she did not deny it.

She felt embarrassed, but she also felt strangely pleased, because Feng Yiren was not hiding behind coldness like before.

The crowd began whispering again.

Some females looked envious.

Some males looked frustrated.

Some of the older tribe members looked shocked.

Su Yanrong’s mates, however, looked furious, because Feng Yiren’s words sounded like provocation.

One of Su Yanrong’s males stepped forward, his voice rough with jealousy.

"Feng Yiren," he said, "why are you acting smug? You are lucky that a female even has you, yet you still reject another female like this. Would you rather be stuck with a female that does not even like your presence?"

The male’s words were meant to shame Feng Yiren into "accepting" Su Yanrong, because in the beast world, many males believed any attention from a female was a blessing.

However, the problem with that logic was that Feng Yiren did not want just any female.

Feng Yiren’s fox instincts were picky, proud, and territorial.

If he liked someone, he liked them deeply, and he did not want to be treated like a tool to fill a female’s bed. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

The crowd murmured agreement, because many males had no mates and felt resentful.
