Chapter 6
Chapter 6 — After Rebirth, Khue Mat struggled to endure suffering, I just smiled
Today, I was arranging herbs when Thuong Viem suddenly walked in. In his hand he held a set of clothes. It was a long dress made from an unknown white fur, soft and smooth to the touch, with a faint silver glow under the light.
"Three days later is the Beast God Sacrifice. The leaders of all the tribes will come to Long Thanh."
He gave me the long dress.
“Wear it.”
【Gifting things again? This time it's the clothes?】 【Beast God offering... the leader of all the tribes...】 My heart fluttered. In the past, the two clans reconciled at the Beast God Sacrifice. To Nhiem also poisoned me at the Beast God Sacrifice dinner party. In this life, the Beast God Sacrifice comes earlier. But To Nhiem couldn't wait and wanted to go to Long Thanh. This is truly a God-given opportunity.
“Okay.”
I received the long dress, it felt warm to the touch.
“Thank you.”
Thuong Viem said "yes" and turned around to leave, but stopped.
“That day, walk by my side.”
His voice was very low, carrying a bit of dominance that did not allow refusal. I was stunned. Walk beside him? With what identity? Adviser? Or… something else? I looked at his tall, straight back, and my heart suddenly beat faster. 【Calm down, Lam Tieu, you're thinking too much. He's just afraid that a "rare talent" like you will be snatched away by another tribe.】 I took a deep breath, suppressing the vibrations in my heart.
“I know.”
The news about the Beast God Sacrifice quickly spread throughout the beast continent. Of course, the Snow Rabbit Clan also received the invitation. When Elder Tuyet Nha announced that he would bring a few young beastmen to Long Thanh to participate in the ceremony, To Nhiem knew that her opportunity had come. She immediately found Elder Tuyet Nha, with tears in her eyes, expressing that she was worried about Lam Tieu's safety in Long Thanh and wanted to go with her to visit her. Elder Tuyet Nha looked at her "sincere" eyes and thought that Lam Tieu was someone saved by their tribe, so it was reasonable to send this "friend" To Nhiem to visit. So he agreed. To Nhiem was happy like crazy. She seemed to have seen herself dressed in splendid clothes, standing on top of Long Thanh, receiving the admiring gazes of all the beastmen. But Lam Tieu is only worthy of kneeling at her feet, like a dog begging her for forgiveness. Before the departure day, she specially washed her dirty and torn one-piece over and over again, and also used flower petals to dye her nails. She looked at her haggard but still beautiful reflection in the puddle, smiling a smile that was certain to be captured. Long Thanh, here I come. Thuong Viem, I'm here. Everything that belongs to me, I come to take it. 【Chapter 7】 On the day of the Beast God Ceremony, Long Thanh became unusually bustling. Beastmen from various tribes gathered here, bringing their best tribute. I wore the long white dress given to me by Thuong Viem, standing on the highest watchtower of Long Thanh, looking down at the noisy animals below. The material of the long dress is Thien Son Tuyet Ho feathers, which are hard to find, soft and keep warm. Thuong Viem stood next to me. Today he changed into a neat black outfit, making his tall and majestic body stand out even more.
“The Snow Rabbit Clan has arrived.”
He suddenly opened his mouth. I followed his eyes. A group of sleighs pulled by several giant Snow Rabbits slowly entered Long Thanh. The leader is elder Tuyet Nha. But Behind him, a familiar figure was poking its head around. It's To Nhiem. She was still wearing that faded, washed dress. Among a group of beastmen wearing precious fur around her, she looked especially destitute. Her eyes were like radar, constantly searching the crowd. When she saw me on the watchtower, she froze. Then, her eyes stared at the long white dress on my body, and the angel-like man standing next to me. The fire of jealousy in her eyes burned brightly. 【Impossible… this is impossible!】 【That trash Lam Tieu can wear such gorgeous clothes! The man next to her... is Thuong Viem?!】 To Nhiem's nails dug deep into her palm. In the letter she received, didn't Lam Tieu say that she lived in anxiety and that her food was hard and difficult to swallow? But the scene before her eyes was clearly that of a princess pampered to the heavens! She has been deceived! The enormous humiliation and anger instantly stunned her mind.
“Lam Tieu!”
She screamed regardless of everything, her cry was pitiful, attracting everyone's eyes.
"You are a fraud! Why did you deceive me!"
She screamed and wanted to rush towards the watchtower, but was stopped by the Dragon Clan guards. Elder Tuyet Nha's face turned pale. He quickly pulled To Nhiem back.
"Miss To Nhiem, calm down! This is Long Thanh!"
“I can't calm down!”
To Nhiem shook his hand away, pointed at me, crying and denouncing the surrounding beastmen:
"Everyone look! This woman, she deceived her good friend, deceived the kind-hearted Snow Rabbit Clan!"
“It's clear that she lives in luxury in the Dragon Clan, yet she wrote to tell me that she lives very miserable, making me worry about her!”
“She is a liar, selfish, and a fraud!”
To Nhiem's performance was very successful. The beastmen around me started whispering, their eyes looking at me also became disdainful and disdainful. After all, in this world, betraying friends and benefactors is an extremely shameful act. Elder Tuyet Nha's face also showed disappointment and hurt. I looked at To Nhiem below like a mad dog, my heart turned cold. Thuong Viem frowned, as if he wanted to order her out. I reached out and placed my hand on his arm.
“Don't rush.”
I said softly.
“Let her talk.”
【The more you say, the more mistakes you make. Die faster.】 I just want everyone to see her ugly face. I just want to make her fall to pieces at her most proud moment. We step down from the watchtower step by step.
