The silence following Mu Lihua's entrance didn't last long.
Outside the tree house, the sound of hurried footsteps and murmurs grew into a roar of confusion.
Hu Yan dragging the Tribe Leader's mate through the dirt had sent shockwaves through the entire tribe.
To the tribe members, this was a violation of every social rule; a male beastman was never supposed to be so violent with a female, especially one who was technically his mother-in-law.
"What is happening?" an elder beastman shouted. "Hu Yan, let her go! Have you lost your mind?"
"Is the Witch Doctor's mate trying to kill her own mother?" another female cried out in horror.
A crowd of dozens had gathered, trailing behind Hu Yan all the way to the Tribe Leader's house.
They stood in a dense circle, demanding answers.
