The Ultimate Beast World Glow-Up novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178 The Bait 

So if they wanted the tribe to see Jewel’s true face, they had to use extreme measures. 

Rosalie volunteered to act as bait, and everyone voted against it. 

In the end, to force Jewel to reveal herself, the others still compromised. 

But someone had to stay close and protect Rosalie at all times. 

Rosalie rested comfortably in Micah’s arms through the night. Near dawn, she sent both of them away. 

They did not really leave. They moved to hidden spots to watch over her. 

Jewel had slept poorly that night. When she looked in the mirror the next morning, she screamed. 

Across her pale face were several red pits, looking exactly like claw marks from some animal. 

She had slept deeply and noticed nothing. With no idea who did it, she could only rage in frustration. 

She kicked open the woodshed door and saw Rosalie sleeping soundly inside. That only made her angrier. She grabbed a basin of cold water and splashed it over Rosalie’s face. 

Rosalie snapped awake, the killing intent in her eyes sharp and real as it shot toward Jewel. 

Jewel pointed at her own face, close to breaking down. “Did you do this to me?” 

Rosalie pulled her emotions back and replied coldly. “So threats didn’t work, and now you switched to kidnapping?” 

Only then did Jewel notice how tightly Rosalie was bound. With the ropes tied so firmly, it could not have been her doing. 

Jewel raised her foot to kick Rosalie, but Rosalie said calmly, “Are you sure you want to hit me? 

“I’ll tell you how to grow rice. You let me go, then leave this place and never come back.” 

Jewel froze, suspicious. “You’re not playing tricks again, are you?” 

Rosalie glanced down at the ropes on her body and sighed. “You’ve tied me up like this. I’m at your mercy. What are you afraid of? 

“I don’t want to drag this out anymore. If you want it now, take me to the rice shop and I’ll teach you.” 

Jewel hesitated, but the temptation was too great. In the end, she agreed to take Rosalie there. 

The rice shop had been closed for a long time. The milling tools were still inside. 

Jewel reacted like her tail had been stepped on. She exploded. “What nonsense are you talking about? 

“They’re just my slaves. How could they be my husbands?” 

“Is that so?” Rosalie replied lightly. “Then having no husband at all sounds pretty sad. Is it because you think you’re ugly?” 

Jewel shot Rosalie a glare. The injuries on her face were not serious and would heal soon. As for a husband, she already had the best candidate. 

Thinking of him, she lifted her chin proudly. “Don’t think only you can have a powerful husband. I have one too.” 

Rosalie raised a brow and glanced at Sixto, whose face was swollen and bruised. 

Jewel snapped back, “Of course not him. My husband is the strongest beastman in our tribe. Only he is worthy of me.” 

“Then why didn’t he come with you?” Rosalie asked calmly. 

She guided the conversation step by step, and Jewel was already getting carried away. 

A flash of embarrassment crossed Jewel’s face before she lied smoothly. “He’s waiting for me at home.”
