Chapter 157 will have a next time.
"Besides, there's nothing much to do anyway, so having you by my side is perfect for taking care of me. That way, if I have any problems, you'll know immediately."
Xia Gu felt that she really needed a woman to take care of her, Xue Lan was always busy with many things, and so was Eric.
Xue Qing is currently focused on cultivation, wanting to advance to the next level, and simply doesn't have any time to spare, so only Xiao Bai can stay by her side.
Xuan Li was very happy after hearing what Xia Gu said, which was indeed something to celebrate for him.
When night fell, Xia Gu slept soundly beside Xuan Li, but suddenly a series of shouts and curses came from outside.
Xia Gu was instantly awakened. She was a little confused. Xuan Li, who was next to her, also slowly woke up.
"Why is it so noisy outside? Why don't I go take a look? Xiaxia, you stay here and don't go out. If there's any danger outside, I can let you know immediately."
After Xuan Li finished speaking, he put on the animal skin and prepared to leave, but Xia Gu shook her head because she wanted to go out with Xuan Li.
"Forget it, let's go out together and see what's going on. That way, I'll have a better understanding of the situation."
Xuan Li knew he couldn't stop Xia Gu at all, so he could only nod. Anyway, Xia Gu's fighting power was already so strong that she shouldn't let him get hurt.
They rushed to the noisy place, only to find that it was the place Xuan Li had arranged for Li Xun.
Li Xun's lodging is a very warm thatched hut, but right now Li Xun is being dragged by a male, looking very disheveled, and Li Xun is even begging for mercy.
"Please let me go. You've never treated me well. Why should I be your wife? I just want to leave. I just want to leave with my cubs. I can't take it anymore. I want my cubs to live. I have to leave you."
Li Xun looked utterly panicked, which was heartbreaking to see, and she was still roaring.
Xuan Li immediately stepped in front of Li Xun, stopping the male from continuing to harm her.
"Who are you? Why did you come to our tribe? Didn't you hear what Li Xun said? You should get out of here right now."
Regardless of what happened, Xuan Li had already guessed what was going on inside, so he only wanted to help Li Xun, and this was also at Xia Gu's behest.
"Oh, it's Xuan Li. You wouldn't have taken a fancy to Li Xun, would you? Is that why you're doing this? Isn't your woman that goddess? You shouldn't be meddling in these other people's business. You should let me take my wife back. She still has a child with her. Without me, her beastly husband, how can she live outside?"
This male is unruly and determined to take Li Xun away; he's currently looking for all sorts of reasons.
“I cannot let you take her away. All I see is you hurting her. Under these circumstances, I absolutely disagree.”
Xia Gu couldn't hold back any longer and walked straight up to the male, firmly stating those words.
Upon seeing Xia Gu's appearance, the male seemed to still have some reservations, and he quickly bowed to Xia Gu.
“Goddess, my name is Jin Long. This Li Qian is my wife. I have to take her away. My wife has mental problems, which is why she brought the child out. If I don’t take care of her, who knows what she will do to my child.”
Jin Long spoke these words respectfully, presumably knowing Xia Gu's abilities and therefore not daring to provoke her.
“You’re lying. Every single second I’m with you, you beat me. I can’t take it anymore. I don’t want to keep putting up with this. One day you’ll beat me to death.”
Upon seeing Xia Gu appear, Li Xun quickly uttered these words, hoping that Xia Gu would accept her, which would at least make things a little better.
"I promise I won't hit you again. I hit you because you were out of your mind. I just wanted to wake you up. Since you've said that, I will definitely not do those things again."
In front of everyone, Jin Long finally softened his temper and begged Li Xun to go back, but Li Xun still looked completely disbelieving.
"Neither of you are calm. Can we discuss this matter again tomorrow during the day? Besides, given your current situation, I really don't want to hand Li Xun over to you anymore. The decision regarding Li Xun's situation should be made by Li Xun herself, not by you."
Xia Gu could only drive Jin Long away in this way. Even if a fierce conflict broke out, what could it do? Moreover, a fierce conflict could easily lead to various criticisms of this tribe from other tribes.
That's all we can do to ease the situation a bit, and we'll figure out the best way to handle it later. As for the rest, there's no need to say anything more.
A hint of resentment flashed in Jinlong's eyes, but what could he do since Xia Gu had already said that? It seemed he could only accept it.
"Alright, I'll come back tomorrow. Please let Li Xun stay here for one night. I'm really asking you for help, Goddess."
Jin Long quickly regained his composure and left. Seeing this, Li Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Li Xun returned to the thatched hut and saw that her cubs were still sleeping peacefully, which put her at ease.
"Thank you so much, Goddess. If it weren't for your help, I would have been taken away by him, and I would have been beaten to death."
Thinking about this made Li Xun tremble all over. After all, this matter was so terrifying to her, and having experienced it so many times, she had long since become stressed.
"Alright, you definitely won't be bullied by him here. It was just an oversight today. Once there are more people in the tribe, I'll have people start patrolling and make sure no strangers get in."
"So you ran away because he kept hitting you and disrespecting you? If that's the case, you shouldn't have gone back, you shouldn't have been soft-hearted."
Xia Gu could guess that Jin Long would put on an act and beg Li Xun to come back, which would mean an even more terrible hell awaited her.
“I don’t want to go back. Every time he kneels down and begs me, he says he won’t hit me again, but it’s the same every time. He never tells the truth. He even says that I have a problem with my brain, but I don’t have a problem at all.”
Li Xun buried her face in Xia Gu's arms and cried, looking utterly pitiful.
