Just as the young clan leader of the Lihu Tiger Clan was starting to have crooked thoughts about how to get his hands on the stunning beauty who’d suddenly appeared in front of him, Lin Mo’s sword‑heart clarity had already picked up roughly what was going through that guy’s mind. What he himself was thinking about, however, was how to kill this thing.

The young clan leader of the Lihu Tigers stepped forward, ignoring Lin Mo’s earlier provocation, and asked the Devouring Clan’s chief, “Chief Tun, this young lady is…?”

The Devouring Clan’s chief introduced, “This young lady is a senior sister whom Yanyan once befriended in the Human Realm.”

Kun Yu and the Lihu Tigers’ young clan leader knew each other as well. Knowing the other’s personality, he hurriedly stepped up to warn him, “I advise this dumb tiger not to get any funny ideas. This lady is also an important guest of our Kunpeng clan.”

The Lihu Tigers’ young clan leader put on a look of feigned surprise and glanced at Kun Yu.

“Stupid bird, you’re here too?”

“I thought the one standing next to her was just someone’s attendant.”

Kun Yu snapped, “You really must be blind, tiger. With this innate aura of Young Master Kun, how do I look like an attendant?”

The young clan leader of the Lihu Tigers sneered, “Right, right, right, whatever you say, stupid bird.”

Kun Yu didn’t hear anything off in his words. He lifted his head proudly. “As long as you know I’m right.”

Lin Mo was speechless. This stupid bird’s IQ could really compete with Qu Ruyan’s.

No, actually, he was worse than Qu Ruyan.

At least Qu Ruyan could sometimes win a war of words without even realizing it.

This stupid bird could only take the hits.

“Senior brother… sister?” Qu Ruyan tugged at Lin Mo’s sleeve.

Lin Mo was very speechless. What kind of ridiculous form of address was “senior brother‑sister”?

“How does roast bird taste?”

Qu Ruyan blurted out something astonishing, her gaze turning strange as she looked at Kun Yu.

Kun Yu’s face changed instantly, and he hurriedly took several steps back.

Lin Mo shook his head. “Actually, I don’t know. But this one in front of us definitely can’t be eaten.”

“Milord…”

Kun Yu was deeply moved.

Qu Ruyan asked in puzzlement, “Why not?”

Lin Mo answered with a perfectly straight face, “If you eat him, your brain will fall out.”

Qu Ruyan touched her own little head. “Ah… forget it then. My brain’s already not very good as it is.”

The young clan leader of the Lihu Tigers smiled as he looked at Lin Mo. “Young lady, the Kunpeng clan has guarded the edge of the Demon Realm for years. Compared to my Lihu Tiger Clan, their clan’s conditions are far inferior.”

Lin Mo lifted her eyes and glanced at the Lihu Tigers’ young clan leader. “And what exactly do you mean by that?”

The Lihu Tigers’ young clan leader smiled. “You’ve heard about Yanyan’s situation, haven’t you, young lady?”

“I am Yanyan’s future husband, and you are Yanyan’s senior sister.”

“I’m thinking that after Yanyan marries into my clan, why don’t you come to my Lihu Tiger Clan as an honored guest? It would make us even closer as family.”

“The treatment our Lihu Tiger Clan offers will absolutely not be worse than that of the Kunpeng clan.”

Hearing this, Kun Yu rolled up his sleeves, ready to step up and start a fight. He roared, “Stupid tiger, you’ve got some nerve, trying to poach from my Kunpeng clan!”

Seeing this, the Devouring Clan’s chief’s face darkened. He hurriedly shouted to stop Kun Yu. “Kun Yu, this is my Devouring Clan’s territory. Don’t you dare cause trouble.”

Although in terms of status, there wasn’t much difference between the Lihu Tiger Clan and the Kunpeng clan, for the sake of his own clan’s future, if he wanted to obtain the bloodline carried in that swaddled inheritance, he had to accept the first child Qu Ruyan gave birth to.

Besides, right now he and the Lihu Tigers were still in a cooperative relationship, so naturally he had to side with the Lihu Tigers.

“You really have no sense of your own worth at all.”

Wearing the Blazing‑Fire Phoenix skin, Lin Mo revealed a look of disdain, like a queen loftily looking down on a worm.

The young clan leader of the Lihu Tigers was involuntarily cowed by that aura. He wanted to speak, but his mouth wouldn’t obey him.

Lin Mo continued, “Also, what makes you think you can offer me better treatment than the Kunpeng clan?”

At that moment, the Lihu Tigers’ young clan leader found he could speak again. Brimming with confidence, he said, “Young lady, just tell me what treatment the Kunpeng clan is giving you. My Lihu Tiger Clan will only offer better.”

Before Lin Mo could speak, Kun Yu hurriedly stepped forward. “Our Kunpeng clan has already submitted to her. Is your Lihu Tiger Clan going to submit to her too?”

The young clan leader of the Lihu Tigers narrowed his eyes slightly. “Stupid bird, do you take me for a fool, or is it your brain that’s not working?”

He simply didn’t believe the Kunpeng clan would submit to a Yao from the Human Realm.

His gaze returned to the peerlessly beautiful Lin Mo. “Young lady, I am sincerely inviting you to my Lihu Tiger Clan.”

He truly coveted Lin Mo’s beauty.

In all his years living in the Demon Realm, this was the first time he had seen a Yao with such breathtaking looks.

Especially since Lin Mo gave him a sense of nobility that was completely out of reach, it sent his desire to conquer soaring to the maximum. As long as he could first get Lin Mo to stay at his Lihu Tiger Clan, as the young clan leader, how could he possibly fail to win her over?

Lin Mo sneered. “You really think highly of yourself.”

He couldn’t be bothered to explain anything to this pitch‑black tiger demon.

“Besides, who told you Yanyan is going to marry you?”

The young clan leader of the Lihu Tigers’ expression sank. “Young lady, what do you mean by that?”

Lin Mo’s expression was calm. “Exactly what it sounds like.”

His own spirit pet—how could he possibly let her marry this kind of scum? Wouldn’t that be like watching his own spirit pet jump into a fire pit?

Lin Mo’s thinking was simple. Right now Qu Ruyan, in his eyes, was no different from a child.

She didn’t understand anything.

Even if Qu Ruyan really were to get married, it would only be after she truly grew up, had proper values, and could tell right from wrong that it could even be considered. As for when Qu Ruyan would truly be considered grown up—

That was for Lin Mo to decide.

The Devouring Clan’s chief hurriedly stepped up to smooth things over. “Young lady, even if you are Yanyan’s senior sister, you have no right to interfere with Yanyan’s happiness, do you?” Besides, Yanyan had already privately agreed to the Lihu Tigers’ young clan leader’s proposal, and the betrothal gifts were mostly delivered.

“For you to step out and stop it now is really rather inappropriate.”

“You’ve lived in the Human Realm for so long, young lady. Don’t tell me you’ve never heard the saying: better to tear down a temple than ruin a marriage?”

Lin Mo shot the Devouring Clan’s chief a cold look. “And what exactly are you supposed to be?”

“Yanyan’s marriage—since when is it your place to meddle?”

The Devouring Clan’s chief’s face turned very ugly. “Yanyan is of my clan. As the clan chief, why shouldn’t I meddle?”

Lin Mo sneered. “Just because you say she’s of your clan, she is?”

“She’s been in the Human Realm all these years. I’ve never seen you go looking for her.”

“Did you raise her? Did you teach her how to cultivate?”

The Devouring Clan’s chief was left speechless by the barrage.

The young clan leader of the Lihu Tigers spoke up at this point. “But Yanyan has already agreed to my proposal and accepted my betrothal gifts.”

Qu Ruyan asked curiously, “Senior brother‑sister, what does getting married actually mean?”

Lin Mo gave a simple explanation. “It means you have to follow that man for the rest of your life, and you have to have babies for him.”

Hearing that, Qu Ruyan shuddered. “Ah, then I don’t want to marry him.”

“I want to marry you, senior brother!”

Lin Mo: “…”
