Chapter 1137: Ostracizing Maya
“I… I am also a female of Saint Nazaire…” Maya stuttered in a rather timid manner.
Leanna laughed and crossed her arms over her chest. “So what? We are complete females and have first rights to enjoy the resources of this tribe. You are just a wretched half-beast female, but you dare to try and snatch our rights from us?”
Since Nina’s death, it had been a long time since anyone in Saint Nazaire had spoken about complete females versus half-beast females.
Because of Gu Mengmeng’s relationship with Sandy, the tribe was very open-minded towards half-beast females. So all the 16 valued females had been very restrained in their behavior over the past year. They had never picked on Sandy or Maya before.
But this sense of superiority had been inculcated in them since birth—it was impossible to completely erase it within a year. Strutting around brazenly in front of half-beast females really came rather naturally. Every complete female could do it easily. And especially for these 15 ladies who were the First Beauties of their former tribes—their sense of superiority would be even more pronounced. Every one of them were elite figures from the very top echelons of society.
“Gu Mengmeng said that in Saint Nazaire, half-beast females are not inferior to complete females. We are all the same…”
Maya’s facade seemed to be on the verge of cracking. She clenched her fists tightly by her side, sharpness seeping into her voice.
Leanna acted like she had heard a joke. She lifted her chin and looked down at Maya. “Oh, so you are trying to use your status as one of the oldest members of Saint Nazaire to show how close you are to the Great Messenger? You think you can just make use the Great Messenger’s name to suppress us?”
“I don’t mean it that way.” Maya felt that things were getting out of hand. Weren’t things just fine yesterday? What had happened since then? Her males had gone out hunting early this morning and all had come back full of injuries. Only after some probing did she finally find out that they had been bullied by the males of the 16 valued females. Not only had their hunted game been snatched away, they had all been beaten up.
Although Saint Nazaire had a witch doctor, males would generally not seek out Lea for their injuries. Hence, they could only grin and bear the pain.
Maya couldn’t understand what was going. That was why she had purposely come to the stream to ask what was going on—only to discover that these females were also targeting her for no apparent reason.
All this was happening too suddenly. She just could not understand the reason behind this abrupt change.
Leanna did not have the patience to waste her breath on Maya. She stepped back. “Where are your males? Are they around?”
“You… what do you want?” Maya looked at the 16 valued females clustered in front of her. Her heart pounded.
Leanna said, “I don’t wish to see you here. Get lost now or have your males come out to spar with ours. The winner gets to stay.”
The moment Leanna’s words were spoken, the 16 valued females signaled their partners with their eyes. They all swarmed over.
In the Beast World, females would have at least two family members by her side at all times: her first partner and the family’s most powerful male.
These two did not need to go out hunting, and would always keep by their female’s side, to ensure her comfort and safety.
Just like Bode and Collin in Sandy’s household, as well as Ralph and Ian in Mandy’s family.
So the males who had come forth were more or less all third and fourth-level beasts. While Maya was only accompanied by her second-level wolf, Nissan. How could he be a match for them?
“You…” The rims of Maya’s eyes turned red. She stomped her feet and turned to run off, looking extremely pathetic.
The 16 valued females burst out laughing on seeing Maya flee. One of them asked Leanna, “Do you think she will go complain to the Great Messenger?”
