I Was Here First

The next day,

The beautiful woman came out of the house.

He was dressed in the attire of the Great Miao Chief the Black Li Stockade, exuding a dignified, solemn, and elegant air.

His steps were a little unsteady, and he looked somewhat tired.

It looked like she hadn't slept well last night; there were still faint dark circles under her eyes.

Just as I stepped out the door,

The beautiful woman was slightly taken aback.

Because she saw her daughter,

He stood outside the door, right in front of her, seemingly having been waiting for a long time.

My daughter is in very poor spirits and looks extremely tired.

It looks like I didn't sleep well last night; the dark circles under my eyes are very heavy.

And the expression on his face was even stranger.

Feeling wronged, resentful, resentful, and bitter.

What is it?

The beautiful woman glanced at her daughter and said.

"Mother..."

Ma Die raised her head, her expression complicated.

"Did you get anything out of the interrogation last night?"

Upon hearing her daughter's words, the beautiful woman remained expressionless.

"No, that man from the Central Plains is very stubborn."

Ma Die continued, her face cruel, "How about I hand him over to my daughter for interrogation? I guarantee I'll pry his mouth open."

"Need not."

How could the beautiful woman miss her daughter's little trick? So she refused without hesitation.

Ma Die didn't expect her Mother to refuse so decisively, but she was still unwilling to give up and said:

"Mother, please give him back to your daughter."

The beautiful woman narrowed her eyes slightly, not answering her daughter's question, but instead asking in a cold voice.

"I remember I told you to stay home and reflect on your actions last night, and await your fate, right?"

Ma Die trembled slightly. She knew her Mother was angry, but she still pleaded:

"Mother, I found him in the mountains. You've been playing with him all night, you must be done playing with him, right? Please give him back to me, I'm begging you."

It would have been better if I hadn't mentioned it; the more I did, the angrier the beautiful woman became.

Who was messing with whom last night?

If you hadn't brought that man back to the village, I wouldn't have been played with by him all night.

How do you know you played all night? Were you outside my house last night?

The beautiful woman seized upon the flaw in her daughter's words, and her dignified and graceful demeanor finally crumbled.

"Well..."

Ma Die was speechless for a moment.

"You're getting bolder and bolder, and you're becoming more and more unruly."

A flicker of panic crossed the beautiful woman's eyes. If her daughter found out what had happened in the room last night, where would her authority as the Great Miao Chief be? Where would her dignity be?

So, forcing himself to remain calm, he asked, "What else did you see last night?"

Ma Die quickly shook her head and said, "No, Mother, no, I only eavesdropped outside for a while last night before leaving. Even if I had the courage of a million, I wouldn't dare to peek."

After hearing her daughter's words,

The beautiful woman finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This matter must never be known to a third person, not even her daughter.

Thinking about what happened last night,

The beautiful woman's legs were still trembling.

That man was terrifyingly strong.

He's not even human!

If she hadn't sacrificed herself to appease the tiger's anger and agree to its demands,

It is estimated that Black Li Stockade is doomed to disaster.

But unexpectedly, her daughter...

This rebellious woman, who nearly brought about the extermination of her clan, still has her mind filled with thoughts of men.

They didn't understand her good intentions at all, and they didn't know how to prioritize the overall situation.

She was very disappointed in her daughter.

However, what the beautiful woman didn't know was that...

Her daughter was equally disappointed in her.

Ma Die was filled with anger. She hadn't expected her Mother to be so greedy. Playing all night wasn't enough; she actually wanted to continue playing.

Like the intensity last night,

I reckon it won't be long before her man is completely ruined.

Keep in mind that she hasn't even held his hand yet.

But she dared not speak out against her anger.

In Black Li Stockade, among the Black Miao Tribe, her mother is the heaven, and her words are divine pronouncements; no one dares to disobey or resist her.

Before she inherited the position of leader of the Black Miao Great Miao Chief,

She could only ever submit to her mother, bowing her head and obeying her every command.

Because her mother had more than one daughter.

Although she is the young master of the Black Miao, she could lose everything she has in an instant with just one word from her mother.

In the face of power,

Even family ties can become insignificant.

Ma Die seemed to have finally come to her senses and given up, at least in front of her Mother.

"Mother, I was wrong."

Seeing that her daughter had finally repented, the beautiful woman was very pleased. She then placed her hand on her shoulder and said gently:

"Forget about him. Your Mother will find you the strongest, bravest, and most handsome young man in the tribe to be your husband."

Upon hearing this,

Ma Die was almost laughing in anger.

The men in the Black Miao are all crude, barbaric, and ill-mannered; how could they possibly be worthy of her, a beautiful and intelligent Young Miao Chieftain?

You took all the good stuff and left me with nothing but junk.

You really are my good Mother.

But Ma Die didn't dare to say these things out loud; instead, she had to put on a shy and embarrassed expression.

"Thank you, Mother. Mother 're so good to me."

But then her expression suddenly changed, because she saw a scar on her Mother's wrist, which was hidden in her sleeve.

The scars were deep and very noticeable.

It looked like it had been whipped.

Then she remembered the intense and rapid sound of whipping in her Mother's room last night, and her heart trembled.

At the same time, the beautiful woman noticed the scars on her wrist and immediately and discreetly withdrew her hand from her daughter's shoulder.

"Mother, your hand..."

"It's nothing, I accidentally hurt myself with the whip last night."

Ma Die didn't believe her Mother's explanation.

You must know that her Mother's long whip skills had reached an unparalleled level, and she was famous throughout the Miaojiang for her prowess. How could she possibly hurt herself?

Ma Die suddenly felt a strong curiosity about what had happened last night, and regretted leaving so early and only eavesdropping without daring to peek.

"In a few days, the Three Miao will discuss the important matter of the Beast God High Priest. You must stay obediently in the village and not go out to cause trouble."

The beautiful woman's expression turned stern, and her tone carried a warning.

"Also, you're not allowed to go to my room, and you're not allowed to see him, or I won't let you off the hook."

Ma Die knew who her Mother was talking about, but she couldn't believe that her Mother had already made him her own, forbidding anyone else from touching him.

Too despicable.

So shameless!

Too selfish

That's too much.

Even the children in the village know the importance of sharing good things, yet the Mother is so wary of even her own daughter.

And she was the one who arrived first.

Even if she felt resentful, depressed, and indignant, Ma Die could only endure it all.

"My daughter knows."

Ma Die then took her leave.

Watching her daughter's departing figure, the beautiful woman sighed deeply.

Then he glanced back at the house behind him.

He muttered to himself, "I will absolutely not let you harm my daughter or my people, absolutely not."
