Huangjiang said happily, "We exchanged a lot of wine at the City of Ten Thousand Beasts this time, and everyone ate and drank to their hearts' content!"
The male beasts cheered, "Drink!!! Drink!!!"
Si Yan picked up the bowl, took a small sip, and narrowed her eyes slightly.
The rice wine tastes just like the one she brewed herself.
On the day of divine favor, the beastmen of the Green Sand Tribe gathered around the campfire, eating and drinking heartily.
They played and frolicked from day to night.
Those were truly carefree and happy days.
As night fell, Qiu Mei excitedly said to Si Yan, "Si Yan, Si Yan, something exciting is about to happen."
"What?" Si Yan had drunk quite a bit of alcohol, and her head was spinning; she could barely see anything.
"The most important part of the day of divine favor is when the leader brings out the Love Stone."
"Love Stone? What is that?"
Qiu Mei recounted, "Legend has it that long ago today, the Beast God came to our Green Sand Tribe. After helping the Green Sand Tribe overcome a calamity, he gave us a stone, which is the Love Stone."
"This stone is a treasure of our tribe. It is said that when a loving male and female touch the Love Stone at the same time, the stone will emit a bright light."
"So every year on the day of divine favor, the chief would bring out the Love Stone, and only the male who touched the stone with the female and emitted a bright light could become the female's true male."
Si Yan exclaimed in surprise, "So amazing?"
Qiu Mei began to tell a story.
"That's right. I heard my mother tell a story about a couple who seemed very much in love, but when they touched the Love Stone, it didn't light up at all. Everyone thought the Love Stone was malfunctioning. A few days later, the female broke off her relationship with the male. Later we found out that the female had accepted the male to get revenge, and the male didn't actually like the female; he was only with her for some benefit. How dramatic!"
"And another thing, there was once a male and female pair who had a particularly bad relationship. They accidentally stumbled upon the Love Stone, which then shone brightly. At the time, the orcs in the tribe thought the Love Stone had malfunctioned. It turned out that the female had a crush on the male, but because of the accident, she assumed he didn't like her. However, she subconsciously tried to get his attention by arguing with him. The male also secretly had a crush on the female, but she treated him so badly that he thought she hated him. However, he couldn't bear to ignore her, so he argued with her every day. Later, the Love Stone resolved the misunderstanding, and the two got along very well. After mating, they had five or six litters, producing a total of twenty offspring."
Si Yan's lips twitched: "That's amazing..."
Wang lowered his head and chuckled softly, "Yanyan, would you like to come with me to try the Love Stone?"
The sudden male voice made Si Yan's heart tighten, and she hurriedly said in a panic, "No, no, no, don't!"
She'd only just met this male; she wasn't about to test the love stone. It definitely wouldn't light up!
Qiu Mei looked at Si Yan and Wang with bright, sparkling eyes. Si Yan knew that look was the look of someone drooling over someone.
Qiu Mei was very excited: "Si Yan, why don't you go try it later? Go try it with Wang! I feel like it will light up, good luck!"
Si Yan: "..." I don't want to cheer.
The males, including Huangjiang, very devoutly brought out a stone.
Si Yan looked over expectantly, but she wasn't the only one; the other beastmen were also craning their necks to look.
Si Yan was too short to see and was getting anxious.
She suddenly felt a familiar, strong arm lift her up in its arms.
Before she could even gasp in surprise, she felt herself being lifted onto the man's shoulder.
Aaaaaaah!
She actually sat on one of the male orc's shoulders like a child!
Si Yan was in a complete panic. In her haste, she didn't know how to maintain her balance, her feet kicking wildly and her hands reaching out haphazardly.
"Relax," Wang said. "You won't fall."
Si Yan finally relaxed, and after relaxing, she actually felt that she was sitting very steadily.
Hesitantly, she reached out her right hand and gently embraced Wang's head.
Looking to the side, she saw that Qiu Mei had also climbed onto the shoulder of another male beastman. She was chatting and laughing with the male; Si Yan had seen him before, and he seemed to be her mate.
Wang was very tall, and since she was sitting on his shoulders, she could easily see the scene inside.
The Love Stone that Huangjiang brought out is a crescent-shaped stone, pitted and uneven, and looks no different from the stones by the roadside.
Is it really that amazing?
Huangjiang laughed loudly and said, "Are there any brave orcs who want to come up and try the Love Stone?"
Qiu Mei immediately raised her hand: "Me, me!"
Si Yan watched as Qiu Mei and the male beneath her stepped forward together.
The pair didn't seem very nervous. Si Yan watched intently, and just as Qiu Mei and the male touched the Love Stone together, the Love Stone indeed emitted a burst of light.
Qiu Mei shouted with joy, and then she hugged her male.
Or rather, her Masao.
After Qiu Mei left the stage, she excitedly spoke to Si Yan.
After responding with a smile, Si Yan continued to look at the Love Stone with great curiosity.
There aren't many females in the tribe, so it's always the females who go first. If she finds a male she likes, she goes with him. If not, the interested males take turns trying one after another.
Some females couldn't find a single shiny male, while others could find several shiny males.
Huang Ying also went up; she had seven shining males.
Si Yan: "..."
She can actually hold seven males in her heart. That's incredible.
Just as everyone had finished their measurements, the cat dragged the little wolf in again.
The little wolf was very unwilling. "Neko, what are you doing? I don't want to test that thing!"
The cat then said, "I don't need you to repay my kindness. As long as you test the Love Stone with me, all the grudges between us will be wiped clean!"
The beastmen joined in the chant, "Go! Go! Go!!"
Little Wolf: "If I test the Love Stone with you, can all our grudges really be wiped clean?"
The cat nodded again.
Little Wolf: "Okay, I'll go then."
The cat's expression turned sad again.
He just wanted to wipe the slate clean with her.
Does he really not like her at all?
The wolf and the cat stood on either side of the Love Stone.
The little wolf said, "Cat, you are a good female, but I am not. My ambition is for the entire beast world. I have no intention of forming a mate in this lifetime."
The cat gritted its teeth again. "Being my mate doesn't mean you have to give up the beast world."
Little Wolf: "Enough with the nonsense, let's test it."
As he spoke, the little wolf placed his hand directly on the acacia stone.
The cat is genuinely a little sad.
Well, if we're truly not meant to be, then so be it. There's more than one male in the world.
Thinking of this, the cat also placed its paw on the acacia stone.
