Chapter 496 Beastman Continent (8)
Just as Chiki was feeling down because she was different from her father and sister, she heard her sister's voice.
"Sister, awakening spatial power isn't something you can do easily."
"It's either spatial power or your natal space, which is located in your abdomen. Quickly check if you have it." Wangyou thought of the two fleshy lumps on Qianmu's back and then of the White Tiger. The White Tiger is also one of the divine beasts, so it might really be there.
“Yes, listen to Wangyou and experience it,” Qianhe agreed, because that’s how he discovered it.
Chiki began to examine it with some skepticism, and sure enough, she soon noticed the difference and tentatively put the bamboo cup inside.
"It really works, I can see it, but it's not as big as my sister's."
"That's great, we have everything now."
As winter approaches, the hunting teams no longer go out hunting, so the people in the tribe organize themselves to collect firewood or hunt small game nearby.
Wangyou and Qianmu took Qianhe directly to the place where they had encountered the herd of bison. With Qianhe's super combat power, the three of them returned with a full load.
In their free time, Wangyou and Qianmu told Qianhe about what had happened in the tribe after he left. So, Qianhe didn't think about taking the people in the tribe to find food or anything. Hunting teams were organized by the tribe, and Qianhe never went to any personally organized hunting teams.
Wangyou plans to visit the little monkeys again before winter.
When they arrived at the orchard, they found that the fruit on the trees was gone; the monkeys had already collected all the fruit.
The golden monkey had grown a bit and even showed Wangyou the staff technique he had been practicing recently. Although it lacked spirit, it had already taken shape.
Then, the little monkey gave Wangyou a handful of bright red fruit to try, but looking at the little monkey's expression, Wangyou felt like it was trying to play a prank.
"Little monkey, you're being naughty. What's wrong with this thing?"
The little monkey suddenly opened its eyes wide, not expecting that Wangyou actually knew. It then danced around, mimicking the reaction after he finished eating.
"Thank you!" Wangyou thought this stuff might be useful as a condiment.
She then had the little monkey take her to the place where she found it. There were only a few plants there, so she simply transplanted them all into her space.
After that, Wangyou went back with Qianhe Qianmu.
Time flies, and the first snow soon fell.
Large snowflakes fell, each one big enough to cover the entire Forget-Me-Not area.
With the arrival of the first snow, the temperature plummeted. Thick stone slabs blocked the cave entrance, preventing the cold wind from getting in, and with nothing else to do, everyone began to hibernate.
But Wangyou always felt very sleepy and wanted to sleep. Qianhe told her that it was time to hibernate, although he didn't know that dragons also hibernate.
Chizuru used to hibernate, and she can still manage now, but she doesn't really want to go out.
In the end, little Chiki took the blame for everything because her father and sister were asleep.
There was no shortage of food in Qianmu's natal space, so apart from eating and taking care of personal matters, Qianmu spent all her time cultivating.
His father and sister are hibernating; he needs to become strong to protect them.
Although for safety reasons, both of them went back to their own spaces to sleep.
Qianmu usually eats in her own natal space, but she cultivates outside.
Therefore, the cave was bare and empty, so it didn't matter if outsiders wandered in.
Gana brought several beastmen several times, but they all came up empty-handed, and eventually stopped coming altogether.
Winter goes and spring comes, and time passes year after year. In the blink of an eye, it's time to reach adulthood.
This is a big day for the tiger clan, because today all the female tigers will choose their mates.
However, this has nothing to do with Wangyou; she can just watch the excitement.
Although she was the most beautiful female in the entire tribe, her fertility was zero, so the males would not choose her.
Wangyou didn't care about that, but Qianmu had shown extraordinary combat power in recent years, and there were quite a few females who wanted to choose her as their beast husband.
However, Chiki probably witnessed Chizuru's difficult life as a beast-tamer from a young age, so he politely declined any advances from females.
So, on this day when females dress up and males display their strength, the brother and sister sat on small stools, eating sunflower seeds and watching the spectacle from below the stage.
It has to be said that this was the first time Wangyou had ever looked closely at the people in the tribe, because the beastmen in the past would never have bothered to clean themselves up.
Most of the time it's messy and sloppy, which is why Wangyou doesn't like to get along with the people in the tribe.
Today was a good day; the males had unusually cleaned themselves up, and the females did the same, though the only thing they had in common was their bronze skin.
Although females on the Beastman Continent are pampered, few are fair-skinned, probably due to racial genetics. Therefore, people like Wangyou and Qianmu are exceptions.
No, let's forget about the oddball right now, because Qianmu has been running and hunting in the wild a lot in recent years, and has successfully tanned himself a bit darker.
However, she still stood out from the crowd, while Wangyou never got tanned no matter how much sun she basked in, even though she hadn't tanned any less than Qianmu.
The high priest on the platform mumbled a long string of words, making Wangyou drowsy. She was originally one of the people on the platform, but since she had neither the ability to conceive nor any intention of finding a beast husband, she simply decided not to go up.
It wasn't that no orcs, lusting after her beauty, confessed their feelings to Wangyou, but without exception, they were all rejected by her and were chased and beaten by Qianmu for several days. After that, no one dared to provoke her anymore.
"Brother, are you really not going to choose a female? Don't you want any cubs?"
"Forget it, just thinking about what my father went through when he was a child makes me feel horrified."
"If you're worried about that, that's fine. I'll terminate the contract for you later. I've already stockpiled quite a few of those fruits."
"Forget it, I shouldn't find someone to have a baby right now. I feel like I'm about to sprout wings."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you, brother?"
"That's great! After holding back for over a decade, it's finally coming out! Hatching eggs is easier than this!"
"You're talking about hatching eggs? Who boiled the eggs and then hatched them?"
"Brother, don't mention such unpleasant things, or I'll beat you up!"
"Don't mention it, look up there." Chiki wisely shut up.
The adult females in the tribe have begun to choose mates, but the males can agree or refuse. After all, everyone wants to choose a good female, as this is a major life event.
As Wangyou looked around, she noticed that no one was choosing a male beastman because he was too thin, while the female was the one surrounded by the most women, Qingqing, who had the highest fertility.
"Brother, do you know who that is?"
"That's Qingyan, Qingqing's younger brother. He's too thin and weak; no female will like him."
"A third-tier orc, so weak, no wonder they're unpopular."
“Little sister, Qingyan is quite good-looking. Although she’s a bit weak, our family can afford to raise her.” Qianmu suddenly had a whimsical idea. Otherwise, other families would have females on both sides, while his little sister had none. Wouldn’t that be too unfair?
