After dinner, the Dragon Clan asked everyone to go out for a meeting.
The meeting place was in an open space not far from the cave. Yu Wanwan followed behind and found a place with higher ground to stand.
Soon, the dragon clan leader and elders came out surrounded by a group of dragons.
The patriarch and elders stood on the platform. The patriarch coughed lightly and began to introduce himself.
The patriarch of the dragon clan is called Wu Heng. He looks to be in his fifties, with a little gray hair, but he is still strong and in good spirits.
"This blessing ceremony is different from previous ones. We need a female who can preside over the ceremony. This female will not only receive blessings, but will also be qualified to communicate with the Beast God."
As soon as these words were spoken, the females became agitated, and the open space, which had been quiet just a moment ago, became noisy.
Yu Wanwan watched silently.
As an atheist, she actually felt that blessings were already mysterious enough, and she even had to communicate with the Beast God.
This is obviously more mysterious.
However, the beastmen all believed in the Beast God very much, and even Bai Jing and his companions were no exception.
Since Yu Wanwan has come here, she should integrate into their culture and accept their blessings.
But Yu Wanwan is not interested in hosting and has no intention of competing.
Clan leader Wu Heng asked everyone to be quiet and said in a deep voice, "The presiding female must pass three tests: writing, sacrificial dance, and hymn. The female who comes in first will be qualified to communicate with the Beast God."
A female said loudly, "What about writing and dancing? Except for those from Beast City, we don't know how to do it. This is too unfair!"
Advanced things like writing, dancing, and hymns are only circulated among the high-ranking nobles in Beast City. Females from the tribe have no chance of coming into contact with them.
Many females present had the same idea as this female.
If the tests were these three, they would have no chance from the start.
This is an opportunity to communicate with the Beast God. How can they be willing to let it go?
The females started arguing again, all dissatisfied with the three tests set by the dragon clan.
The few females who were staring at Yu Wanwan yesterday seemed somewhat happy.
A female flattered the female who was surrounded yesterday, "Yanlan, I remember you can read, right? Then this opportunity to communicate with the Beast God must belong to you!"
Yan Lan was also very happy in her heart, and raised her chin proudly: "Of course, these females from remote villages are no match for me."
The females who fawned over her were envious.
Yanlan is the highest-ranking female who came to the Beast City this time. Her partner is powerful and her family is a high-ranking noble. She herself has a good fertility ability and already has a litter of cubs and even a precious female cub. She is simply a winner in life!
It would be such an honor if I could preside over the sacrifice this time!
The females are jealous and their teeth are itching.
They quarreled for a while longer.
Chief Wu Heng said, "Don't worry, females. Everyone will have a chance. We will arrange classes for you to learn sacrificial texts, dances, and hymns. At the end of the class, there will be an assessment. The female with the highest score will be qualified to communicate with the Beast God."
Hearing that classes 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 the female who could communicate with the Beast God.
"Starting tomorrow, we will rotate the classes of writing, dancing, and hymns every day. We will have one class a day, and we will have one day off every three days. Everyone can leave the island or rest."
Wu Heng then spoke in detail about the arrangements for the blessing ceremony, and then nodded to the elder standing aside.
Wu Heng stepped aside and left the rest of the time to him.
Yu Wanwan yawned, feeling a little tired of listening.
"I'm Qinglu, an elder of the Dragon Clan. This time, I'm mainly responsible for your food and daily life. If you have any questions, you can come to the Qishan Grotto to find me, or send someone to pass on a message..."
Hearing the man's low voice, Yu Wanwan raised her eyes and looked.
Elder Qinglu looked like a male in his thirties, with long hair that reached his hips, slightly upturned eyes, and an elegant and handsome appearance.
But his tone was very serious and his expression was very formal when he spoke. When Yu Wanwan saw him, she was reminded of her university professor, an old man in his fifties who wore a Zhongshan suit and rode a bicycle all day long. He always carried a book with him wherever he went and seized every fragmented moment to study.
This elder Qinglu looks like a thirty-year-old uncle, but he exudes the temperament of an old scholar in his fifties, and is a little too mature and steady.
Thinking of her college life, Yu Wanwan couldn't help but look at him for a while longer. Qinglu suddenly looked over with a sharp gaze. Yu Wanwan was startled and quickly lowered her head, not daring to raise it for a long time.
After finishing the conversation, everyone started to walk back. Someone called her name. Yu Wanwan turned around and saw Su Hui standing not far away.
"Wanwan, are you used to what you had last night?"
Yu Wanwan nodded and said, "Su Hui, just now, Clan Leader Wu Heng said that we can have one day off after three days of classes. On that day off, could you please take me to find Bai Jing and the others?"
Su Hui thought about it and decided that he didn't have anything to do in three days, so he agreed directly.
The two of them went back.
Su Hui was walking on the road and saw three males gathered together in front of him. They were all males of the dragon clan.
"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."
