The female glared at him. "How can they be the same? He's so outstanding, and you're not even half as capable as him. How can you find a male like him? Find me another one?"
"Our Eagle Clan leader is also very good and can even heal illnesses."
"Humph, he's so cold and uninterested in females. I'd freeze to death if I got close to him."
"Here they come, the tiger tribe leader is here with her little female." They fell silent and looked to the other side.
In front of the altar, Bai Yuwei took Shen Qi's hand and stood in the center of the altar according to the instructions of the high priest.
The altar was made of a round stone with two shallow cracks in the middle, crisscrossing horizontally and vertically like a cross.
"The pairing ceremony begins. The two of you clasp your palms together. When the altar is activated, silently say in your heart that you agree to become a couple."
Bai Yuwei moved his fingers a few times and suddenly they were wrapped around her hands.
Shen Qihui held his hand, and the stone platform under his feet immediately started to move. The cross in the middle slowly flowed out spiritual energy and emitted a trace of blue light.
Shen Qi looked into his amber eyes and silently said those four words in her heart.
Bai Yuwei grinned and recited silently like her.
The blue light under my feet became brighter and brighter, and after a few seconds, it disappeared.
Shen Qi felt a faint heat somewhere on her forearm. She lifted the animal skin and saw a golden light coming out of her arm, but in an instant, the light faded.
What was left was the shape of a tiger's head, like the Baiyuwei tiger beast, and now it was reflected on her hand, just like a colorful tattoo.
Bai Yuwei saw her own beast form reflected in her hand and said proudly, "Qiqi, isn't my beast form handsome?"
"Hmm... a little silly."
"Silly? What do you mean?"
"It's okay, let me see yours." Shen Qi was very curious. She didn't have a beast form, so what shape would be left.
Bai Yuwei spread his arms and concentrated his mind.
Shen Qi looked at him with a strange look in his eyes, leaned forward, and saw the things printed on his arm, frowning slightly.
What is this? Glittering gold... a few hairs?
Um? ? ?
"Qiqi, is this your beast form?"
Although females rarely have animal forms, there are animal symbols after they form a pair, and the female's animal form will also appear on the male's arm.
Qiqi’s animal form...is too weird.
A few golden hairs can be blown away by a breeze.
Are there any other beast-like races on the mainland?
"Hmm... sort of." Shen Qi's mood was also complicated. She also had a beast form? Or a few golden furs?
After hearing the high priest's reminder that it was over, the two men came down from the stage.
The next moment, the partner marks in their hands lit up for a few seconds.
Suddenly, I felt that the spiritual power in my body was surging and rising.
Bai Yuwei looked at the spiritual energy emanating from his hands, and his level instantly rose from level four to level five!
Shen Qi also felt that the spiritual energy in his body became richer.
The high priest was surprised to see the changes in Bai Yuwei. Could partnering increase spiritual power? He had performed so many partner rituals, but this was the first time he had seen such a phenomenon.
Shen Qi's eyes were filled with contemplation. Was it a mission reward? A bonus to their abilities after becoming a couple...
Bai Yuwei withdrew his spiritual power and looked up, only to see Si Jingzhan holding a jug of wine and pouring it into his mouth not far away.
He raised his lips and was in front of Si Jingzhan in an instant. "I'm in a good mood today. Give me a can. Let's drink to our heart's content. It's so boring to drink alone."
Unexpectedly, Si Jingzhan just glanced at him indifferently, put away the wine jar, snorted coldly and left.
Bai Yuwei: ???
How did he become so weird?
Within the Tiger Tribe——
The tiger beasts all knew that their leader had been promoted to the fifth level, and they all congratulated him.
"Our clan leader is truly amazing. He's actually reached the fifth level."
"Yeah, we Tiger Tribe should have caught up with many tribes!"
"But how come the clan leader was promoted successfully just by finding a partner? Other couples don't get such a good thing when they find a partner."
"Our clan leader is gifted with extraordinary talent, so he can reach the fifth level."
"Did you see that just now? When the tribe leader was mate-forming, the little female's arms were so white. I guess they wouldn't be that white even if I died for three days."
"I saw it too. The little female's face is so dark, but her hands are so white."
When Bai Yuwei heard them talking about Qiqi, a sharp flash flashed in his amber eyes as he glanced over.
When they saw this, they all shut up tactfully.
——
Shen Qi packed up the herbs and went to the Eagle Clan.
When the orcs of the Eagle Tribe saw her, they all knew that she was the female leader of the Tiger Tribe. Seeing her looking around, they came up to her and asked, "Little female, what are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for your clan leader."
The two orcs looked at each other and took him to Si Jingzhan's residence.
Shen Qi saw at a glance that he was holding a wine jar, and there was another pot next to him that had been finished.
Si Jingzhan didn't even raise his eyes, "What's the matter?"
"I came to say thank you."
When Si Jingzhan heard the pleasant voice, he paused holding the wine jug. His deep purple eyes looked at her, then glanced at the object in her hand. "What are you thanking me for?"
"You saved Bai Yuwei, and the Eagle Tribe orcs you sent returned safely to the Tiger Tribe. These are the herbs I collected, and you should be able to use them in the future."
Si Jingzhan responded coldly: "I have plenty of medicinal herbs here."
Shen Qi was choked by his tone, "Since you don't want it, then I'll take it back, but thank you too."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and just as she took a step, her hand was pulled by a strong force. She looked down at the hand that was holding her.
Si Jingzhan: "Although I don't need herbs, you can repay me with other things."
Shen Qi turned around to look at him, "What can I do for you?"
"Stay in the Eagle Clan for two days."
Shen Qi was stunned for a moment, "Why?"
"Several females in the Eagle Clan have severe body rot. The powder I made can only provide temporary relief, not a complete cure. I need your help."
"Okay, but the treatment will take two days?"
Si Jingzhan's voice was hoarse, and after a while, he responded, "Then leave after you finish saving them."
Unable to see his expression, Shen Qi nodded, "Okay, take me to see it."
She followed Si Jingzhan to the other side of the Eagle Clan. Several females were lying in the cave. As soon as she stepped in, she smelled a rotten stench.
Shen Qi covered her nose with her hands and saw Si Jingzhan also frowning.
Walking straight over, she saw that their skin had rotted in several places, and the foul smell came from there.
[Mission: Find mugwort and heal the wounds of the female in front of you. Due to uncleanness, she is plagued by worms at night and her flesh is rotting. Reward: 300 points]
Erosion insects, are these insects so harmful? A healthy body was gnawed and rotten by the rot insects.
Shen Qi looked at their painful expressions and shook her head.
"Host, the bites of leeches are easily transmitted to females with low resistance. Please complete the task as soon as possible to prevent the infection from spreading to more orcs."
"Reward for the rescue mission: [High Altitude Cushioning]. Jumping from a height of 150 meters grants you a rapid cushioning ability, preventing you from taking damage upon landing."
