Chapter 268 A Grand Transaction
Jiu Chen frowned; he had thought of the same thing as Long Ze.
He suppressed all his jealousy and discomfort, and said in a deep voice, "Are you planning to find her someone else besides Qi Heng and Li Miao?"
Long Ze nodded: "Yes, do you have any orcs from the Black Dog Tribe and the Tanuki Tribe that you find appealing?"
Jiu Chen was silent for a moment, then said, "The current young chief of the Black Dog Clan was attacked when he was young. He was later rescued by the beastmen of the Iron-Eating Beast Tribe."
"He had a natural affinity for the Iron-Eating Beast Tribe. Their tribe took in many of the Iron-Eating Beast Tribe's beastmen."
"The beastmen of the Tanuki tribe... are even more domineering than me. The beastmen of the Tanuki tribe like to have several brothers marry the same female and then monopolize that female."
Long Ze raised an eyebrow: "So, this is your reason for not caring about their marriage alliance?"
Jiu Chen's already cold face grew even colder. He chuckled at Long Ze, "Don't act like you're so generous. Your area of expertise and mine are irreplaceable. Many times, we have to handle things ourselves."
"That way, your wife will have free time. Her heart will then lean towards the male who is with her!"
"If you had no selfish motives, you wouldn't be advocating for her to find more partners now!"
Long Ze did not refute, because Jiu Chen was right.
He really didn't want Ruan Xiyue to find any more beast husbands.
Although holy females usually have more than ten beast husbands, Ruan Xiyue is different from those holy females.
Those holy women only use males as tools.
However, Ruan Xiyue had feelings for them, so Long Ze was unwilling to give Ruan Xiyue to other males.
“There’s nothing you can do about it. Even if you want to stop it, there’s nothing you can do. I… I won’t try to stop it this time. If the Treasure-Hunting Rat Tribe behind Limiao really wants to befriend her, I think we can let them pair up first.”
Long Ze seemed to be speaking to Jiu Chen, but more like he was advising himself.
Jiu Chen pursed his thin lips and nodded: "You take Yue'er upstairs to rest first. I'll stay here and watch over Xia Wei'er in case anything happens to him."
Long Ze frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then carried Ruan Xiyue upstairs.
Ruan Xiyue felt uneasy in Long Ze's arms; she seemed to be trapped in a strange nightmare.
In a dark gray dream, there was a voice, full of youthful energy. His voice was always hard to hear, as if his ears were covered, making Ruan Xiyue very uncomfortable.
Ruan Xiyue frowned, trying to hear clearly.
But it's like when you're swimming and water gets into your ears, you can't hear anything outside.
Ruan Xiyue wished she could get up and hop on one foot, pinch one ear and tilt it to clear out what she couldn't hear.
Unfortunately, no matter how anxious Ruan Xiyue was, she still couldn't hear clearly.
Unwilling to give up, she walked towards the direction of the sound, thinking that if she got closer, she might be able to hear it more clearly.
I don't know if this method worked or if I should just make sure she heard me clearly.
Ruan Xiyue heard an old voice pleading with perfect clarity: "Beast God, our Bright Moon Rabbit Clan has really tried our best, but perhaps we are too dull, our ability level can never exceed the Red Rank. Please, Beast God, give us some guidance."
After a long silence, the sound of kowtowing rang out. Then, an aged voice continued to plead: "Beast God, our clan will absolutely serve you! Our clan is willing to swear a blood oath to the Beast God, and our ancestors will always follow the Beast God's lead!"
A clear, youthful voice asked, "You can only make one grand wish. Are you sure it's not for yourself, but for your entire clan?"
The aged voice nodded: "Yes! That is my only wish."
The clear, pleasant voice said, "Your Moon Rabbit Clan may appear weak, but you are actually tough and strong. If you insist on having a high-ranking beastman, I can grant your wish."
"I know you want to cultivate the next generation of outstanding offspring to prepare for the century-long agreement. Your various races want to compete for the strongest warrior to be the leader of the entire continent, right?"
The aged voice dared not conceal anything, nodding in agreement, and then dissected its own journey: "Our Moon Rabbit Clan has always been a small group, dependent on the Snow Rabbit Clan. They always treat us as thugs, but never give us the opportunity to grow and develop. We do the most work, but receive the least. Our aptitude is quite good, but once our ability level reaches the gray level, we get stuck and can't make any further progress."
"I really hope that the Beast God can help our tribe!"
The clear, youthful voice said coldly, "Fine, in the future, 20% of the males in your tribe will definitely reach the high-level ability level. However, this will be in exchange for the potential of your other orcs. Are you willing?"
The aged voice hesitated again, conflicted: "This..."
The cool, youthful voice continued, "If you agree, your clan will surely produce an outstanding individual in the competition of the Hundred-Year Agreement, who will lead all the beastmen to become the Beast King."
The aged voice hurriedly replied, "No, no! I really had no intention of overstepping my bounds!"
Ruan Xiyue kept walking and walking. She could sense that the two people were talking nearby, but she couldn't sense or see anything.
As far as the eye could see, it was all pitch black, which was a little disappointing.
Just as the aged voice finished expressing its unwavering loyalty to the Beast King and its absolute obedience to his commands, the Beast God waved his hand.
He said in a clear voice, "Your various tribes made a pact a hundred years ago, wasn't it all to determine who was superior? From now on, you will obey this beastman as your emperor and follow his orders."
The man with the clear voice silenced the old man's argument with a single glance.
He continued, "I have granted your wish, but everything comes at a price."
"The physical strength and power I have bestowed upon you have doubled, and your physical resilience is comparable to that of the dragon race."
"However, if any beastman of your race has a high aptitude and breaks through to the human rank, the price you have to pay will be higher than that of other races. This beastman who breaks through to the top rank will possess the highest aptitude of his bloodline."
"Even if there are Earth-rank or Heaven-rank beastmen among his elders, the bloodline aptitude of those elders of the same clan as him will rapidly deteriorate. Do you agree?"
The aged voice remained silent for a long time: "Will it always be like this? Doesn't that mean our Moon Rabbit clan has no future at all?"
The clear, youthful voice casually waved his finger: "Not at all. It's just that the older generation has weakened, but the younger generation remains unaffected. Do you agree?"
