Her face, with its sharp features and powerful presence, was styled by Chi Yansheng, who even styled a few strands of her hair to make it look light and airy.

Her clean, fair face appeared even more dazzling under the heavy ink makeup.

As she moved, her steps still carried the steadiness and vigilance unique to wolves, unlike the light and graceful movements of a peacock.

The magnificent skirt and tail feathers swayed with her movements, but unlike a flowing feather robe, they added a sense of solemnity and ceremony to her steps.

"Sister Yan Sheng, isn't this a bit too flashy...?"

As intense gazes converged upon her, Ling Yunxi, who had previously maintained a calm and composed demeanor, now appeared somewhat flustered.

"No, I think it's just right. I didn't even have time to do your Peacock Clan makeup yet!"

"You'd look even better with that makeup! But you're already very pretty, no wonder my two younger brothers..."

She shrugged slightly and covered her mouth with a laugh as she said this.

[Ding! Chi Yanling's dislike value has decreased by 10. There are 50 points left to complete the mission.]

As soon as the system notification appeared, Ling Yunxi knew that these people had also arrived today.

Before I could even feel happy, I heard the system notification sound again.

[Ding! Xuan Yize's aversion to the host has dropped to 0. Congratulations, host, you have completed your first conquest objective. You are rewarded with a storage ring.]

A storage ring?

Ling Yunxi, who was about to say something, suddenly brightened up when she heard the good news.

Ling Yunxi excitedly looked down—

Suddenly, a dark and unremarkable ring appeared on her ring finger, where she had rolled up her skirt.

With this storage ring, she won't have to worry about not being able to carry it or being too conspicuous when she goes to collect spiritual herbs.

I just don't know how much it can hold.

Ling Yunxi was already eager to try it out.

But for now... we still need to deal with the current situation.

When she came to her senses, Ling Yunxi followed Chi Yansheng to the camp of the female peacocks.

Even though she was standing at the very end, she could easily attract the attention of many male peacocks on the opposite side.

To her surprise, she discovered that many of the peacocks standing opposite her were the young male peacocks who had helped her prepare the ingredients the day before.

Unlike yesterday, when they were covered in dirt from carrying ingredients, today they were dressed up nicely, full of energy, and had bright, sunny faces.

Each male's innocent and youthful appearance exudes a vibrant energy unique to youth.

At that moment, they looked at each other with immense surprise, as if they were seeing a familiar face they knew only.

They strained their eyes to look at the corner where she was.

Ling Yunxi nodded slightly and responded with a smile.

Upon receiving Ling Yunxi's response, they were instantly energized, their faces lighting up with excitement.

Many of the males seemed to be showing off to the other males nearby, saying:

I know her!

I know her too. I've even had a drink she made herself, and it was so delicious!

Chi Yanling, who was standing in the same group of male peacocks, noticed this scene the whole time and frowned slightly.

He clenched his fist, feeling a mix of emotions he couldn't quite describe.

When he saw Ling Yunxi come out, a hint of surprise flashed in his sapphire blue eyes. He suspected that she had come for him.

After all, back in the wolf clan, Ling Yunxi had expressed her feelings for him passionately, and even plucked her tail so that he wouldn't be able to show it to other female peacocks.

Although it was pulled out, it's healed now...

On the one hand, she was worried that she would choose another male at this celebration.

But now, he seems to have an answer.

She didn't look in his direction at all the time...

Thinking of this, Chi Yanling's eyes dimmed.

He didn't understand what was wrong with him. He still loathed her, but his heart, which was at odds with his will, was fighting against his thoughts.

He felt his feathers were definitely ruffled, and he really wanted to go back and groom them right now...

After only a moment, Ling Yunxi's gaze shifted—

She noticed that the food they had prepared that morning was being served one after another.

She didn't understand how the peacock tribe's food appreciation process worked, but she observed it secretly.

Almost at the same time.

Ling Yunxi noticed that among the beastmen guests about to enjoy the food were several beastmen who had previously refused to mate with her—

Chu Junchen, son of the Lion King; Huang Yujing, younger brother of the Crimson Tiger King; Fu Huiyi, son of the Black Panther Clan Chief; Jiang Wangchuan, son of the Fox Clan Chief…

Her pupils contracted slightly, hoping that they wouldn't know she had made it when they tasted it.

Although there was no deep-seated hatred between them, she had left a rather bad impression on them in the past.

She didn't want to lose the reward she might receive because of this.

"Now that everyone is here, the ceremony shall begin—"

"The high priest of the Peacock Clan shouted."

Immediately afterwards, several peacock orcs came among them and performed a ritualistic dance. Then, several more peacocks flew in from the sky and cried out loudly.

After the performance ended, Ling Yunxi turned around and saw that the male peacock opposite her had somehow transformed into its original peacock form.

They vied with each other, displaying their magnificent tail feathers towards the female peacock opposite them—

The tail, which had not yet opened, trembled like a huge, folded feather fan, first with a rapid and powerful high-frequency vibration.
