Marrying the Soft-hearted Villain

Because of many accidents occurring at once, and considering that they were pretty close to the Winter Bear tribe, the eagle simply decided to turn into his human form.

This was the first time Ruan Qiuqiu saw Tian Xiu’s human form –

His appearance was that of an upright man with a determined and righteous temperament. His looks were not those of a boyish man in his early twenties, but rather those of an older man with a mature appearance.

“Xiong Yuan, Xiong Duoduo, what the hell is going on?” Tian Xiu pointed at the strange cub in Xiong Yuan’s hands, his brows twitching.

“…” Hearing Xiong Duoduo’s name, the corners of Ruan Qiuqiu’s lips rose unconsciously, and the hand that pushed Mr. Big Bad Wolf’s “wheelchair” clenched secretly as she desperately held back a smile.

The demon Xiong Guo Guo was seventeen or eighteen years old, so such a name did not really match his age*.

But she quickly lowered the corners of her lips, took a deep breath, and concentrated on listening to the two bears’ explanation.

Grandma Ruyi waved, “It’s getting dark, talk while walking.”

All the demons agreed and followed suit. Ruan Qiuqiu, who was pushing Mr. Big Bad Wolf’s wheelchair, heard Xiong Yuan grit his teeth and say, “That old black python did it.”

” Old black python?” Just as Ruan Qiuqiu was about to ask, she found that Tian Xiu had already beat her at it, so she kept silent and continued pushing the wheelchair quietly.

“It’s an old black python demon who has lived for more than 300 years.” Xiong Duoduo explained, “His strength is in the early stage of the fourth rank. He has been living in the far south before, but suddenly moved to our tribe half a year ago.”

Xiong Duoduo added with a dignified tone, “At first everyone thought he was a good demon and went to visit him, but who would have thought we’d see many bruised cubs in his yard.”

Ruan Qiuqiu paused and frowned.

Xiong Duoduo gritted his teeth, “The old python also seemed to have suffered some injuries. At that time, he told us that their family was attacked by a fiend…”

“And you believed it?” Grandma Ruyi asked coldly, “Don’t tell me you also sent a lot of herbs out of pity for him?”

When Grandma Ruyi’s voice fell, Ruan Qiuqiu was rather helpless to find that a touch of embarrassment and shame appeared on Xiong Duoduo’s face.

Xiong Duoduo was at a loss when Grandma Ruyi pointed unceremoniously at the stupid things they had done. He rubbed his head embarrassingly, “That’s right…”

He seemed to want to prove that he wasn’t that stupid, and hurriedly added, “But later we found out that something wasn’t right, so we stopped giving herbs to him.”

Ruan Qiuqiu: “…” Although the bears of the Winter Bear tribe stopped delivering herbs, the black python demon, who was used to such benefits, would not let go of such an easy-to-kill tribe so easily.

Besides, the fact that he suddenly moved near the Winter Bear tribe was strange in itself.

“Later, the cubs in the black python demon’s yard became less and less for some unknown reason. When we found out and wanted to rescue the cubs, the beast tide came…” Xiong Yuan added, his voice full of self-blame.

Ruan Qiuqiu was silent. It was evident that because of the beast tide, the Winter Bear tribe demons’ hands were tied up as they were too busy trying to protect themselves. Besides, the black python demon was a fourth-order demon, so even if they wanted to deploy some members for the rescue, they were powerless to do so.

“What about what just happened right now? Why does the magic rock only explode when it is in contact with bear demons?” Grandma Ruyi continued to ask.

Hearing this, Xiong Yuan showed a blank expression. After a while, he suddenly realized, and a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, “Before we left, the black python demon visited the patriarch once and said that he wanted to live in the back mountain.”

“The patriarch did not agree, so isn’t this just because he holds a grudge against our tribe?”

Ruan Qiuqiu asked Xiong Yuan, “Is your patriarch also a fourth-order demon?”

Xiong Yuan nodded, and his eyes flashed with surprise, “How do you know? Our patriarch is at the peak of the fourth rank, he’s so powerful!”

Ruan Qiuqiu: “…” She suddenly felt a little speechless.

If all of the tribe members were to be weak, the black python, who was merciless enough to abuse his cubs, would not hesitate to take action.

The black python demon most probably got the news that the back mountain of the Winter Bear tribe had a boundary enchantment and was rich in spiritual energy, so he moved over.

Truth be told, the Winter Bear tribe had a good geographical location but was pitifully small in number. The back mountain held a lot of spiritual energy, which was extremely tempting. For such a tribe to remain unscathed until now, it could be seen that the prowess of the patriarch was not something to be trifled with.

After all, the strength of the Lion clan patriarch in the Wind Lion Tribe Ruan Qiuqiu used to belong to was only in the early stage of the fourth rank.

There was probably some reason why the patriarch’s grandfather did not clean up the black python.

*Xiong Duoduo, or 熊多多, is the name of a bear in a children’s book. 多多 is also a nickname for toddlers (between 3 and 5 yo). So that’s why ou fl thought that an 18 yo boy (bear) and such a name don’t really click together.
