I listened carefully, and my heart sank like a stone. It turned out that Xiang Xiaoli and Xiang Yueming were flirting.
"Xiao Li, when are you going to give my brother a child?"
"Oh, it's not that I don't want to, but I'm just too busy right now. I don't have time to have a baby."
"Then when will you have time?"
"Oh, once my brother is gone..."
I couldn't bear to listen any longer and covered my ears. They had already planned to wait until Xiang Yueming was dead before letting me have children. They had never regarded me as a person! My heart felt completely cold.
Since I had no more attachments, I decided to leave. I walked out of the cave and resolved to find the clan leader to dissolve the contract.
"Leader, I want to leave the Elephant Clan and dissolve the contract."
The leader merely glanced at me and asked, "Are you sure?"
I nodded firmly, "Yes, I'm sure."
After a moment of silence, the leader finally nodded, "Alright."
I felt a weight lift off my shoulders as I walked out of the leader's cave, my heart feeling much lighter. However, at that moment, I overheard two Elephant Clan warriors talking.
"I heard that Ji Yu went to see the leader today to dissolve her contract."
"Of course! A woman like her was abandoned after giving birth to a bunch of stillborns."
"But speaking of which, those Rabbit Tribe women have such warm fur."
"Yeah, yeah! If only we could get a few more rabbit pelts."
"Why don't you go borrow one from the Young Patriarch?"
"Good idea!"
Hearing those words made me feel utterly nauseous.
So they had been using the skin of my Rabbit Tribe all along for their schemes!
At that moment, Xiang Yueming appeared before me with a group of warriors.
He glared at me fiercely and said, "Ji Yu, you have stolen the sacred artifact of the Elephant Clan. According to tribal law, you must be punished!"
With that, he dragged me to the square and forced me to kneel.
He took out the dagger I had once used and waved it in front of my eyes.
"Kneel! Bow your head and admit your mistake!"
I refused to submit, and he pulled out another dagger along with a long whip.
He said coldly, "Do you know what this is? This is the sacred artifact of the Elephant Clan!"
I struggled to speak, "I have never stolen any sacred artifact."
Xiang Yueming snorted coldly, "Do you dare to argue?"
He signaled to the warriors beside him, and two of them immediately produced chains to lock around my neck.
They dragged me to the square and forced me to kneel again.
Xiang Yueming waved the dagger in front of me: "If you don’t admit your mistake now, I will cut out your tongue!"
Looking into his cold eyes made me feel nothing but disgust.
I pulled out the grass mat beneath me and said icily, "Xiang Yueming, I have never stolen your sacred artifact."
Xiang Yueming sneered, "Still trying to be defiant?"
With that, he lunged at me with the dagger.
Just then, a warrior stepped in front of him: "Young Patriarch, please calm down."
Xiang Yueming slightly restrained his anger: "Ji Yu, I will give you one more chance—kneel and admit your mistake!"
I looked at him coldly: "Not a chance!"
Xiang Yueming shouted angrily, "Take her to the center of the square!"
The soldiers immediately dragged me to the center of the square and locked a chain around my neck. They relentlessly whipped my body, causing me to faint several times from the pain.
The agony in my lower abdomen was particularly intense. I struggled to speak, "Why are you treating me this way?"
