"Ginger tea, serve the cubs!"
The patriarch's solemn expression couldn't hide the joy in his eyes, and his loud voice immediately silenced the noisy beastmen below.
The altar, located in the center of the tribe, is a platform made of dark, large stones, its surface smooth as a mirror, reflecting dappled light.
Several stone statues of beast gods were placed around the altar, but each beast god looked different, and it was unknown who carved them.
Each one has a human upper body and an animal lower body, holding strange magical artifacts in their hands, and solemnly gazing ahead, as if silently protecting this land.
At this moment, the center of the altar was covered with clean animal hides. Following the clan chief's instructions, Jiang Cha poured the cubs from the basket onto the hides and gently lifted them by their ears to arrange them one by one.
"Be good, don't run around, or you won't get any treats later!"
She gently tapped each of the cubs' heads, whispered a warning, and then stepped back a little.
Their lingering gazes followed Jiang Cha's figure. They even wanted to chase after her after she left, but after Jiang Cha made a gesture of swinging her fist from side to side, they all sat there obediently and didn't move.
The people from the foreign tribe stared wide-eyed in utter shock at the sight of the eight cubs.
They are all of the same breed, with similar colors and the same scent; they are clearly from the same litter.
The chieftain made sure they could all get a closer look, and once they had seen enough, the priest came over to pray for each cub, hoping they would all grow up safely and contribute to the strength of the Dashushan tribe.
The clan leader's face was beaming with a smug smile, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes became even more pronounced as the smile spread.
After the prayer ceremony, it was time for a barbecue feast for everyone.
Fearing that the cubs might get hurt, the clan leader sent Jiang Cha to take away the drowsy cubs.
He was genuinely pleasantly surprised that they could cooperate so well without causing any trouble for so long.
"Chief Rat Mountain!"
Suddenly, a tall man appeared in the crowd. His appearance seemed to freeze the air around him. The beastmen made way for him without any hesitation. His gaze swept across the crowd, and everyone who met his eyes felt a strange fear.
This is the innate majesty of the raptor-like beastman.
"You are...you are the leader of the brown wolves?"
The wolf tribe is also divided into many sub-tribes, and the brown wolf is the raptor tribe closest to Mouse Mountain.
The clan leader's face paled instantly. They had always kept their distance from the raptor-like beastmen, and this time they hadn't even invited them. How could they have come knocking on their door on their own initiative?
"Hmm, Kovi, a seventh-tier combat power wolf king, has come to the clan chief to do some business."
Kovi clapped his hands, and soon a dozen or so people carried over two wild boars.
"A seventh-tier wolf king! How powerful!"
"That must be a wild boar weighing over a thousand pounds! I've never seen one this fat before!"
"The Rat Mountain Tribe is so lucky to have managed to get the Wolf King to do business with them. What did they see in them?"
"Idiot, what else could it be? Think about what we came here for today."
"Pshaw, so what if she gave birth to eight cubs? I heard she was a barren woman before. Could she really have one child and then another? I don't believe she's that lucky!"
“............”
The surrounding tribes are mostly small, ordinary orcs. Their first reaction upon seeing the orcs of the Raptor Tribe is to retreat several meters.
Because some raptor-like orcs prey on weaker orcs, they are extremely ferocious and warlike. They also abduct ordinary females to take back to their tribes to mate. Their powerful genes cause the females to give birth to their offspring, which means that even though they are warlike and suffer heavy casualties, their offspring are not fewer than their own.
When have I ever seen such a polite beastman who even comes to my door to deliver gifts? It's truly a rare sight!
The chieftain's mouth watered at the sight of the two large, fat pigs, but he remained rational and licked his lips before asking, "May I ask what kind of business the Wolf King is looking to do?"
I want her!
Kovi's eyes were sharp as he pointed decisively at Jiang Cha, who had just placed the cubs into the basket.
"Although she has given birth to so many children, she used to be a barren woman. No one can guarantee that she will be able to get pregnant again. You might as well go for the Holy Mother!"
The clan chief looked at Jiang Cha, who was carrying a cub and had no expression on her face, with a probing gaze. After seeing that she did not react, he said, "Of course, the price is not the same for the Holy Female."
Looking at this powerful and handsome male, Zhou Ruanruan felt a surge of desire to conquer him. She blushed and stepped forward, "Chieftain, shouldn't you ask for my opinion on this?"
"It's just a coincidence that Jiang Cha gave birth to so many offspring. She probably won't have any more opportunities to reproduce in the future, so we might as well choose a holy female!"
"How foolish! The Holy Mother belongs to our tribe. Why should we just hand her over?"
"That's true. Let's give away the ginger tea that's no longer of any use. We have to keep the cubs!"
"Those two wild boars are huge! If we could keep them here, we wouldn't have to worry about surviving the winter!"
"........"
When Jiang Cha saw how the clan chief and the others treated her like a commodity to be bought and sold, even though she knew that Kovi wanted to take her away, a strange anger still filled her mind and wouldn't dissipate.
It wasn't until she heard the whispers of several females behind her that the flames of anger within her were replaced by coldness, and disappointment took root in her heart. She was utterly disillusioned with this tribe.
"No need, I only want her and her cubs."
Kovi had been trying his best to negotiate, but unfortunately, neither of the two people in front of him could understand human language.
Chieftain: "Wolf King, the cubs are absolutely out of the question. I can give you the female Jiang Cha, but I have one more condition: you must sleep with our Holy Female once."
He's planning to help Zhou Ruanruan upgrade her superpowers!
Zhou Ruanruan added, "If you wish to stay a few more days, that's fine too. I'm willing to bear your child."
The chieftain frowned slightly, then suddenly thought of something and smiled broadly, saying, "Wolf King, you are a high-level beastman. In our Beast World Continent, only the Holy Female has the opportunity to conceive among high-level beastmen. Ordinary females have no chance at all. If you want our Holy Female to bear your child, this bargaining chip is not quite enough!"
"I'm speechless. What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Don't you understand that I just want the female?"
Kovi could no longer keep up the act, and his volatile temper instantly resurfaced.
His massive size and deep, shimmering fur made the orcs instantly feel their own insignificance and powerlessness, as if all resistance was futile before this wolf king.
The wolf king's aura was like an insurmountable mountain, inspiring awe and a deep chill.
It puts an invisible pressure on all the weak orcs.
"So you are the Holy Mother?"
Zhou Ruanruan looked at the wolf king in front of her with a pale face, and she nodded weakly: "It's me."
