Trapped in Beast World: My Husbands Are All Animals! Novel

---- Chapter 64 Piecing the Clues Ardenia turned to her mates and continued, "We'll lie in wait for the target. When the time comes, I'll take care of them myself" Halden was taken aback by her fierceness, but that made him like her even more. "Ardenia, are you..." Calder trailed off. He lowered his head, quietly admiring how protective she was -protective of her people, protective of the tribe. It made him feel warm inside. Vesper said, "I've got this!" Ardenia rolled her eyes. "What are you talking about? | told you guys to wait.

/'ll be the one to strike." Acold, sharp glint passed through her eyes. Julia hurt her father badly, and she wasn't about to let this slide. "Pay attention, all of you. I'll stay with my father tonight. If Julia makes a move, I'll let you know," Ardenia said. With that, she waved her hand and strode toward Quincy's ---- cave. Tobias didn't speak. He simply observed from the shadows quietly, his gaze following Ardenia. He couldn't help but think she had changed completely. When Ardenia arrived at Quincy's cave, she realized Julia was gone. Those left behind were all unconscious.

Ardenia quickly checked on Quincy to make sure he was fine, then immediately gave chase. Ardenia moved quickly, her long hair swaying behind her as she followed Julia's lingering scent. Tobias, who had been hiding at the cave entrance, coiled his snake-like tail and swept her into his arms. "| know where she went," he said. Ardenia looked at him, puzzled. Had Tobias been quietly waiting for her all night? Impressive. ---- "Let's go!" she said naturally, looping her arms around his neck and adjusting herself in his hold until she found a comfortable position.

Then, she met Tobias' emerald, seductive eyes. "Hurry up. I'm ready to tear into her!" she teased. Tobias froze for a moment, a mix of surprise and delight in his eyes. He couldn't believe she felt so comfortable around him now. "Are you not afraid of me anymore?" he asked, swaying his tail slightly. Under the night sky, his black scales shimmered. Ardenia once claimed that she hated snakes, making him hesitant to make any bold moves. That was how Vesper, that show-off, got a headstart. "Why would | be?

Aren't you my husband?" Ardenia blinked innocently, a kind of charm that was impossible to resist. Tobias's pupils shrank, and the tips of his ears flushed red. He hurriedly changed the subject. "Stephan is barely a Level 7 therian. My little female, tonight I'll let you see what I'm really capable of!" ---- "Okay," Ardenia replied. Perhaps her quick answer had caught Tobias off guard. He stared blankly at the female in his arms, then suddenly lowered his head and kissed her. He pretended to stay calm as he turned around and gave chase.

Tobias moved incredibly fast, holding Ardenia as he rushed along the small path behind the mountain. What surprised Ardenia was that even at such high speed, Tobias didn't make a sound. "She took a hidden shortcut!" Even though Ardenia had expected this, she was still furious. Because of Julia's careless remarks, Quincy had almost died. The therians who headed to the city for trade were captured, and their prey was stolen. Ultimately, Julia had caused them such a big loss. "If you're running for your life, of course you'd sneak around," Tobias said.

He had heard everything they discussed earlier, and he found it suspicious. After thinking it through, he continued, "She was supposed to return only next month." ---- Tobias didn't spell it out, only subtly hinting at Ardenia. Every time Julia visited the Fierce Lion Tribe, Quincy had to beg her again and again to come back. But this time, she returned much earlier just to target Ardenia. Combined with Julia's completely different attitude toward Ardenia and Iris, it wasn't entirely impossible that Iris might be her biological daughter. "You don't need to beat around the bush.

| know exactly what you're trying to say." Ardenia paused, then continued coldly, "When | questioned Nick earlier, it was obvious that Julia smeared my father with lies and caused this disaster. | won't let this slide." "Smart. But there's one more thing you missed out," Tobias replied. She glared at him. "Do you really need me to spell it out? That my dear mother cheated behind my father's back? I'd already suspected as much when she came back stirring up trouble.

In fact, I'm starting to think Julia may have had a hand in poisoning all of you." Asmall wolf tribe with four or five Level 8 therians might not ---- seem remarkable, but tribes like that were rare across the Beastworld. During winter, tribes frequently fought over resources, so suspicion was inevitable. "Are you saying that Julia might've been involved too?" Tobias looked shocked. After all, she was still part of the Wolf Tribe. But the fact that Stephan dared to attack so brutally meant this wasn't a simple matter. "Yeah, but it's only a guess," Ardenia replied.

"We need to catch Julia first before we can make our next move."
