After the meal, the dragons asked everyone to go outside for a meeting.
The meeting was held in an open area not far from the cave. Yu Wanwan followed behind and found a relatively high place to stand.
Soon, the dragon clan's patriarch and elders emerged, surrounded by a group of dragons.
The clan chief and elders stood on the high platform. The clan chief coughed lightly and began to introduce himself.
The dragon clan leader is named Wu Heng. He looks to be in his fifties, with some white hair, but he is still strong and in good spirits.
“This blessing ceremony is different from the past. It requires a female who can preside over the ceremony. This female will not only receive the blessing, but also gain the qualification to communicate with the Beast God.”
Upon hearing this, the females became restless, and the once quiet open space was filled with noise.
Yu Wanwan watched silently.
As an atheist, she felt that blessings were already mysterious enough, let alone communicating with a beast god.
This is clearly more mysterious.
However, the beastmen all deeply worship the Beast God, and Bai Jing and his group were no exception.
Now that Yu Wanwan has come here, she should integrate into their culture and accept their blessings.
However, Yu Wanwan was not interested in hosting or anything like that, and had no intention of competing for it.
Chief Wu Heng silenced everyone and said in a deep voice, "The female presiding over the ceremony must pass three tests: writing, sacrificial dance, and hymn. The female who comes in first place will be qualified to communicate with the Beast God."
A female shouted, "What writing, what dance? Apart from people from Beast City, none of us know any of these. This is so unfair!"
High-level things like writing, dance, and hymns only circulated among the high-ranking nobles of the Beast City; these females from the tribes had no chance to come into contact with them.
Many of the females present shared the same thought as this female.
If the test consists of these three things, wouldn't they have no chance from the start?
This is a chance to communicate with the Beast God, how could they be willing to let it go?
The females started arguing again, all of them resisting the three tests stipulated by the dragon clan.
The females who had been watching Yu Wanwan yesterday seemed rather pleased.
One of the females flattered the one who had been surrounded yesterday, saying, "Yanlan, I remember you can read, right? Then this opportunity to communicate with the Beast God is definitely yours!"
Yanlan was also very happy, and proudly raised her chin: "Of course, how can these females from the poor and remote areas compare to me?"
The flattering females were filled with envy.
Yanlan is the highest-ranking female among those who came from Beast City this time. Her partner is powerful, her family is a high-ranking noble family, and she herself is very fertile. She already has cubs that died in their litter, and even a precious female cub. She is simply a winner in life!
What an honor it would be to preside over the sacrificial ceremony again this time!
The females were green with envy and jealousy.
They made noise for quite a while.
Chief Wu Heng said, "Don't worry, ladies, everyone will have a chance. We will arrange courses to learn sacrificial texts, dances, and hymns. After the courses, there will be an assessment. The lady with the highest score will be qualified to communicate with the Beast God."
Hearing that courses would be arranged and everyone would have a chance, the females became eager to try again. Everyone was looking forward to the blessing ceremony, hoping to become a female who could communicate with the beast god.
“Starting tomorrow, we will arrange classes in literature, dance and hymns on a rotating basis every day, one class per day, and a day off every three days, during which time everyone can go off the island or rest.”
Wu Heng then explained in detail the arrangements for the blessing ceremony before nodding to the elder standing to one side.
Wu Heng stepped aside, leaving the rest of the time to him.
Yu Wanwan yawned, feeling a little tired from listening.
"I am Qinglu, an elder of the Dragon Clan. This time, I am mainly responsible for your daily life. If you have any questions, you can come to Qishan Grottoes to find me, or have someone pass on a message..."
Hearing the man's deep voice, Yu Wanwan raised her eyes to look.
Elder Qinglu appeared to be a male around thirty years old, with long hair reaching his hips and his eyes being slightly upturned phoenix eyes. He was also refined and handsome.
However, he spoke in a very serious tone and with a very solemn expression. When Yu Wanwan saw him, she was reminded of her university professor, an old gentleman in his fifties who always wore a Zhongshan suit, rode a bicycle, and carried a book with him wherever he went, seizing every spare moment to study.
This Elder Qinglu looks like a thirty-year-old man, but he exudes the air of a scholar in his fifties, being overly mature and composed.
Thinking about her college life, Yu Wanwan couldn't help but look at him for a while longer. Suddenly, Qinglu looked over with a sharp gaze. Yu Wanwan was startled and quickly lowered her head, not daring to look up for a long time.
After finishing their business, everyone started walking back one after another. Someone called out her name, and Yu Wanwan turned around and saw Su Hui standing not far away.
"Wanwan, did you have a good night last night?"
Yu Wanwan nodded and said, "Su Hui, Chief Wu Heng just said that we can rest for one day after three days of classes. On the day of rest, could you please take me to find Bai Jing and the others?"
Su thought about it and realized that she didn't have anything to do in three days, so she agreed.
The two went their separate ways.
As Su Hui walked along the road, she saw three males huddled together ahead of her; they were all male dragons.
"If you ask me, the female I brought back is really beautiful and strong. She will definitely be the one to preside over the ceremony this time."
