Mo Qiang stared at the woman who was sitting on a throne made of bones, feathers and stone. She then raised her head to look at Feng Jue who was looking everywhere but her! Mo Qiang was angry. No, she was furious, for these hundred and twenty hybrids, she even sold off her underpants and travelled three days to this forsaken place that did not have any other living form other than those thorny bushes outside.
Now the tribe leader was telling her that she had changed her mind again?! How could this be allowed?
Mo Qiang was speechless, her face had a disbelieving look on her face. Her shoulders slumped forward and the strap of her bag fell from her shoulder. She hadn't eaten well from the day she left the house and with the continuous sand storm happening in this dimension, Mo Qiang's hair was covered with sand, if she were to shake her head now, she could probably make a dune of her own.
After suffering this much torment, she was told that she could not take back those hybrids.
Though Mo Qiang wanted to rush up to the platform on which the woman was sitting and pull her black hair out of her scalp, Mo Qiang still smiled politely and looked at the tribe leader before saying, " Forgive me for being rude, Leader Feng of the Feather and dust tribe but can you at least tell me the reason of your refusal?"
Her underpants! They sold her underpants! These shameless people! Mo Qiang cursed in her head as she looked at the woman on the throne.
" Our tribe as you can see is surrounded by land and thorns. We don't have many food resources in this place, the prey that we hunt is used to feed the families living in the tribe," replied Madam Feng, she closed her amber eyes and solemnly spoke. " Because of this we have to go out of the tribe and think of a way to get precious ornaments from the humans because we signed a treaty that we will not harm humans despite the deep grudge we have against them, we can only rely on our convincing skills and get our hands on those precious ornaments."
" The tribe had three sections, one of the sections stays within the tribe to protect, the second section goes hunting and the third section goes out of the dimension to the human world and brings us precious treasure," explained Madam Feng. " Only when we set up an auction do we have a chance to earn money. We cannot bear to send any of the members of our tribe away. Caw."
" But you earn millions of gold coins! Why do you have to go out every day?" Mo Qiang could not help but ask as she raised her hand in the air.
" Do you think that millions of coins are enough, caw?" Madam Feng stated with a cold voice. " We stay away from the humans because of our differences and we are also treated with the same hostility by the humans, everything that we buy from the human world is twice as expensive for us. Forget about a fifty even if we have seventy million it would be not enough to cover the expenses."
She pointed to the hybrids who were covered in bandages and then said, " Do you see this? They are like this after coming from a hunt. The medicines that we bought for their recovery cost us more than ten million star coins and that too for one person. There are seven of them just think how hard it is on us. Thus the third section needs to go out and bring the shiny ornaments, if we don't sell those ornaments then we will die."
After speaking Madam Feng tapped on the button of her air con and then turned the temperature down such that the room would get colder soon.
