Chapter 217 The Companion Will Be the New Beast King
Ye Luoxing sprayed perfume on her body in advance to cover up the smell, so almost no orcs discovered that she was a female along the way, which made it easier for her to do things.
She walked in the center of the avenue, admiring the beast city from another perspective. Just as she had imagined during the day, she was in sharp contrast to the huge houses, beast-shaped orcs, blazing bonfires, tall arenas, etc. around her. She was like a drop in the ocean, and even the streets she walked on were extremely wide.
Even in the 29th century, these wide streets were used for cars, not pedestrians.
Ye Luoxing strolled slowly and low-key on the road. After blending into the beast herd in an inconspicuous identity, she heard a lot of news along the way, about this overlord competition, about the past of this beast city, and about the purpose of the nobles.
"I heard that in this dominance competition, the two high-level elders have to decide on their own partners? The most outstanding female among the last two partners will become the new Beast King of Midnight City. Is that true?" asked a passing giant bear.
His humanoid companion beside him looked up and replied, "It's spreading all over Beast City. The news came from the inner city, so it must be true. The previous Beast King of Midnight City has been dead for a long time. It's time for Midnight City to elect a new king."
When Ye Luoxing turned his head to look, they had already walked far away, and the news behind them was drowned out by the sounds of animals around them.
But she had not walked for long when she happened to hear a few male animals who were exchanging corals for flowers in front of a store, asking and discussing similar topics.
"What's going on in your Midnight City? Why haven't you got a new Beast King for so long? I remember there was a very outstanding female elder in the inner city? Isn't she going to take over the Beast City?" One of the male beasts took the flowers and directly asked the orcs in the Beast City who were displaying things in the house.
"Are you talking about Katiejo?" the male beast who was displaying objects asked in a deep voice.
"Yes! I think that's her name! I haven't seen her yet!" The male beast held a bouquet of flowers.
The male beast who was displaying things wanted to say something, but finally frowned and still didn't tell him the details. He just said, "I don't know either. This is the nobles' business. You can ask the noble beasts."
His voice became a little colder, and the male beast holding the flowers was obviously not happy about being confronted.
At this time, his companions pulled him towards the territory below, which was exactly the same direction as Ye Luoxing. As long as Ye Luoxing was not too far away from them and listened carefully, he could hear their conversation.
A companion said, "It's useless to ask these low-level beasts living in the outer city. They don't dare to speak nonsense."
The male beast holding the flowers was puzzled: "Why can't I talk about these things? I didn't ask anything else."
Another companion said, "They don't know what they can and can't say, and they're afraid of saying the wrong thing, so they just don't say anything."
There were five orcs in their group, walking leisurely, with white sea lion totems on their arms. When Ye Luoxing learned about their beast forms, her eyes lit up. If they were accidentally captured by the orcs, she would think she was going to swallow them.
"Do you know the reason?" The female beast holding the flowers looked at her companion on the right.
A companion on the right seemed to come to Polar Night City frequently and knew a lot. He deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Of course I know. You just came to Polar Night City for the first time after becoming an adult. You didn't know that the inner city of Polar Night City was in chaos. The Flamingo Tribe and the Bald Eagle Tribe were at loggerheads and were about to fight. This time, using your partner to select a new Beast King was a compromise."
"Is it that serious?" someone asked.
The male beast that often came to the Beast City continued, "The Bald Eagle Clan has settled in the Beast City for hundreds of years. For hundreds of years, all the Beast Kings in Polar Night City were female beasts of the Bald Eagle Clan. But after the Flamingo Clan came, the Beast King died not long after. The Beast King valued the female beasts of the Flamingo Clan very much, so he transferred the power to them."
"Since then, the Flamingo tribe has taken over the Beast City, and the Bald Eagle tribe has lost some of its power. Last year, the Beast City in the West went to war with the Midnight City, and the Beast King of the Flamingo tribe passed away. Unfortunately, the Beast King has no female cubs, so it is naturally difficult to choose the next Beast King who holds power. After all, the Bald Eagle tribe is a tribe in the North."
"If you are an orc of the bald eagle tribe, don't you want the beast king to be your own beast?" The male beast said these words continuously. His companions beside him nodded, and Ye Luoxing also nodded.
That makes sense. Power is important in any world, and the beastly world where the strong prey on the weak further stimulates the desire to win.
The orc holding the flowers suddenly asked again: "What does this have to do with Kadijo?"
This time, another companion patted his shoulder, looked at him helplessly and said, "Kati Qiao is a high-star female beast of the Flamingo tribe, and she has a good relationship with the male cub of the former Beast King, that is, Elder Bei. Under the current circumstances, she naturally cannot directly take over the Beast City. The Bald Eagle tribe will definitely not agree to this."
"Yes, and I heard that Katie Qiao wanted to go back to the south a long time ago, but she stayed here because the Beast King died. She didn't seem to like the fighting among the male beasts in the inner city and didn't want to get involved." A companion told the gossip.
The male holding the flower asked again, "Does the Bald Eagle tribe have any outstanding female high-stars?"
The male beast who often came to the Beast City explained: "It is precisely because the Bald Eagle tribe does not have outstanding high-star female beasts that the two tribes can fight. If the Bald Eagle tribe had a strong female beast who could take over the position of Beast King, they would probably have taken back the authority. After all, they are the tribe of the North, and most of the beastmen in the Beast City support the Bald Eagles."
His words made some information clear, and Ye Luoxing was able to understand the cause and effect.
His companions all nodded in agreement. "You're right. If females weren't involved, I would definitely favor my own tribe. And given the current situation in Beast City, as a beast from the north, I definitely hope that the Bald Eagle Tribe can take charge of Beast City. After all, those flamingos are foreign beastmen..."
"Now the female beasts are involved." The male beast who had been explaining spoke calmly.
"The elder of the Bald Eagle tribe plans to mate with the female Helig of the Far North Viper tribe. Helig is an excellent high-star female, and just as beautiful as Katicho. They are also the two best female beasts in Midnight City. I guess the mate that the Flamingo tribe has decided on is Katicho." The male beast thought.
He added: "Now, it depends on which female beast has more prestige to take over the beast city!"
His companions murmured, "The Vipers are also a tribe from the north. Before we met the two females, we from the north were better..."
"Of course, Katie Jo is also good..."
“…”
Phew, Ye Luoxing listened to their hurried additions, as if he was afraid of offending the females, and he added words so quickly.
And she stared at them for so long that they finally noticed her after she laughed.
The male beast holding the flowers suddenly turned its head to look over here, and happened to meet Ye Luoxing's gaze.
