Perhaps deep down, Yi Yuan did not want to move out of his home in his heart, so he deliberately spent his coming-of-age ceremony on the battlefield.
It was not until the night of the bloody silver moon that Yi Yuan returned to his home, which he had not been to for several years. His body and mind subconsciously relaxed, and he almost fell asleep.
But the sister-in-law in the stone house next door called Yi Yuan.
Yi Yuan has an attachment and closeness to his sister-in-law Lan Wei like a child to his mother. Lan Wei replaces the role of Yi Yuan's mother, and naturally also gains the same feelings that Yi Yuan has for his mother.
After not seeing each other for a few years, Yi Yuan missed Lan Wei a little.
This longing and closeness made Yi Yuan not realize that he should not enter his sister-in-law's house at night when everyone in the city was celebrating and there were no other orcs at home.
Even grown-up children avoid their mothers, let alone Yi Yuan is not Lan Wei's child.
Lan Wei is more than twenty years older than Yi Yuan, but she doesn't look old. Orcs will lose their ability to reproduce and begin to age gradually after they reach the age of one hundred.
Moreover, Lan Wei was also a third-level orc, possessing the same powerful Wood-type ability. She even looked younger than Yi Yuan, who had been exposed to the wind and sun on the battlefield.
But the successive births made Lan Wei look a little haggard.
Yi Yuan expressed his concern and worry, but he couldn't persuade Lan Wei not to have so many children.
"It would be great if you were my child." Lan Wei stroked Yi Yuan's young and handsome face with a smile on her lips and an inexplicable expression.
Yi Yuan knew that if he was his eldest brother's child, things would not be so complicated.
Yi Yuan could only remain silent, and Lan Wei touched his head again and again, just like when they were little.
The warm atmosphere did not last long. Lan Wei asked Yi Yuan a question that frightened him.
"Yuan, do you want to be my partner?"
The Tiger Tribe uses a single word in their name as a very intimate term of address, either to a close family member or a dear lover.
When she was young, Lan Wei often called Yi Yuan like this, along with her children.
But this time, it was clearly different.
Yi Yuan was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He looked at Lan Wei stupidly, his face expressionless.
Lan Wei smiled calmly and touched Yi Yuan's face soothingly, without the slightest embarrassment. "It seems that you have made your choice."
He handed the honey water in his hand to Yi Yuan and said, "Drink it."
Yi Yuan subconsciously took it and drank it, just like when he was a child, he always liked to get close to Lan Wei to drink her honey water, and Lan Wei always smiled and handed him the bowl, saying, "Drink it."
This is almost a muscle memory for Yi Yuan, developed since his happiest years.
Snap——
The pottery bowl shattered, and the God of War didn't even have the strength to hold the bowl steady.
"Why, you are not my child?"
Yi Yuan heard Lan Wei's choking voice and felt a warm hand gently caressing him. Yi Yuan knew that it was Lan Wei's hand.
Yi Yuan could feel blood coming out of his mouth and nose. He was not unconscious, he just couldn't move.
“Snap—”
"You bitch, you can't bear to let him go! You really like him, don't you? He grew up drinking your milk, do you have any shame..."
Bang, bang, bang...
Yi Yuan could tell that it was the sound of fists hitting the body, and Lan Wei's crying was getting weaker and weaker.
Yi Yuan wanted to stand up and protect Lan Wei. No matter what, males cannot attack females.
But Yi Yuan didn't know what he had eaten. His body was completely motionless and he couldn't even open his eyes...
Yi Yuan could only listen to Yi Ze's crazy curses, "So many females died in childbirth, why didn't you die! Why didn't you die!"
"You've been looking down on me for a long time, haven't you? You have to rely on a newborn tiger cub to become the clan leader, a golden-threaded black tiger. Oh, you like it very much, right? Don't you see what you look like? After giving birth to so many cubs, don't you know how broken you are?"
Yi Ze's voice sounded like crying and laughing, with an indescribable madness.
Yi Yuan didn't understand why Yi Ze used such vicious words to hurt his partner. Wasn't the child Lan Wei gave birth to his?
Yi Yuan tried desperately to control his body and wanted to stand up to stop this farce, but it was of no avail. Yi Yuan could not move even a little bit.
"How can a slut like you be worthy of being the king of our clan..."
"No, I am the king. Under my rule, the Golden Silk Black Tiger unified the Sun and Moon Grasslands. I will be the greatest king of my tribe!"
A soul-tearing pain suddenly emanated from the beast pattern, as if it was about to be torn away from his body.
Yi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. At least, Yi Ze didn't hit Lan Wei again. As long as the orcs came, this farce would be over.
The battle with the Old Wolf King actually caused Yi Yuan to suffer serious injuries. After all, it was a cross-level battle, and the Old Wolf King was about to break through to the ninth level.
Yi Yuan was about to break through to the eighth level, but this injury prevented him from breaking through for at least ten years.
But Yi Yuan did not feel regretful. Instead, he thought it was a good thing. When his brother brought him home, he had just broken through the fifth level, and had just broken through the sixth level not long ago. He really shouldn't have broken through at this time.
But now it seems that it is far from enough for him to break through. It turns out that his seven beast patterns are also an eyesore to Yi Ze.
Orcs mostly respect strength, so it was naturally extremely difficult for Yize, who was only at the fifth level at that time, to take over his father's position.
Yi Yuan has witnessed his brother's hardships since he was a child. When he was young, he hunted more prey for his family. Later, when he went to the battlefield, Yi Yuan also wanted to make it less difficult for his brother.
He also has to earn back his brother's share of military merit on the battlefield. He is the God of War, so isn't it reasonable for the God of War's brother to be the king of the tribe?
But he didn't expect that his original intention to help his brother would become a stumbling block for him?
Listening to Yi Ze's constant cursing and accusations, Yi Yuan actually wanted to tell him that he really misunderstood. He never participated in high-level meetings, nor did he interact with priests and elders. He hadn't been home for several years, so how could he have the time to contact people to rebel against him.
But Yi Yuan couldn't get up or open his eyes. He only felt his body being dragged and then tied up.
Then there were noisy shouts and cries of killing in the distance.
Yi Ze seemed to have been suppressed for too long and kept chattering about how long he and Iris had been planning this perfect scheme.
He said how much he loved Iris, and how pitiful they were, loving each other but unable to be together...
And all of this was caused by him. He was the one who killed Iris's father and brother...
etc……
Iris...isn't she the old wolf king's daughter?
Yi Yuan's heart began to collapse from this moment on.
To be honest, Yi Yuan was not really angry that his brother killed him for the throne. From his brother's point of view, he, the "natural king", was indeed an eyesore.
According to the elder brother, he raised his younger brother with great effort, but in the end, the younger brother turned against him and blocked his way. He really deserved to die.
Yi Yuan, who was used to thinking from other people's perspectives, was not really angry. If his brother had said it directly, he could even have died perfectly on the battlefield and pave the way for his brother.
