At this moment, everyone was in an extremely awkward situation.
Wolf Night felt deeply guilty that the chieftain had been indiscriminately injured by Yu Ling because he had refused to get up from the ground. He had already transformed back into his beastman form and helped the wolf chieftain to his feet. Even the most dignified man in the tribe wouldn't be in such a position...
Especially since his wolf friends were all awake, the chieftain had completely lost face among the young werewolves.
"Um, I didn't mean to..." Yu Ling didn't dare to breathe loudly, and his originally perked-up ears drooped down. After all, this was not the original world of cultivation. In a world without magic, he couldn't possibly take on an entire race by himself.
He truly never expected that the chieftain of the wolf tribe would look so 'simple and unadorned,' and his attire contained absolutely nothing that indicated his identity; he had simply gotten into a fight and, without warning,...
The chieftain of the wolf tribe was physically strong, but he was caught off guard by the fall and was momentarily stunned. He wasn't seriously injured, but his face looked terrible. He thought about all the happy things in his life but couldn't manage a smile.
He stretched his joints and mumbled:
"Hiss—are you really a rabbit-kin beastman? You're incredibly strong."
"I'm sorry, Chieftain, I was being rude," Yu Ling replied sheepishly. "Are you alright?"
Hey, what a question for the rabbit! He did get kicked a little, but even if something really happened, he has to pretend nothing happened!
"I'm fine. I originally wanted to see what prey Wolf Night caught for his coming-of-age ceremony, but I didn't expect to see a bunch of good-for-nothing brats! Sigh, I was careless for a moment and got hurt by you, little rabbit. If we really fought..."
Yu Ling quickly replied, "Then I definitely can't beat you!"
Hmm, the little bunny is on the right track!
"Alright, you know that's good."
The chieftain of the wolf tribe, deliberately straightening his back, addressed the wolf clan members,
"And you bunch of disgraceful bastards, get out of here!"
The pack of wolves lying on the ground vanished in an instant, and several that were supposed to be patrolling and on guard duty quickly took their positions, fearing the chieftain's reprimand.
The wolf clan chief still wielded considerable influence. After dealing with the wolf clan, he turned to the wounded Wolf Night and Jade Ling and said, "This isn't the place to talk. Rabbit boy, didn't you come to find me? If you're not afraid I'll take revenge, let's go inside and talk."
Upon hearing this, the chieftain clearly no longer cared about what had just happened. Yu Ling and Lang Ye then followed him into the wolf tribe's territory. If they truly wanted to punish him, they could have simply refused them entry; the threatening forest in the dark would have been enough to give him a hard time.
The wolf tribe was much larger than the lion tribe where the original owner had been. Perhaps it was because wolves preferred to go out alone. Yu Ling looked around and found only a few hundred female wolves and young wolves like Lang Ye scattered around the tribe. However, judging from the sky, the other adult wolves who had gone out hunting should be returning soon, and it should be more lively then.
"Please sit down."
The chieftain's house was made from local materials and was rather simple, with just a few piles of soft hay for seating. It was incomparable in terms of refinement to the dwellings that the female protagonist in the Lion Clan had renovated, but it was more than enough to accommodate the three beastmen, even if they were in their true forms.
"I'm sorry, Chieftain. He saved me from the jaws of death, but I was ashamed and pretended to be stupid, so I didn't keep my promise and caused this commotion."
Wolf Night lowered his head and admitted his mistake, his attitude was good. Although the wolf clan chief was slightly surprised, he gained a new understanding of Yu Ling, this violent rabbit. Seeing that the two of them were sitting in a row, the chief asked Yu Ling:
"The rabbit clan has always hidden in burrows, rarely venturing out even to forage for food or avoid predators. Why have you, a little rabbit, come to our wolf clan alone? Is something wrong?"
"Ahem, Chieftain, you are indeed very insightful. I do have something I would like to discuss with you, but it has nothing to do with the Rabbit Clan."
Yu Ling didn't want to recount the embarrassing events of the original owner getting lost and asking for shelter. Instead, referring to the side quests issued by the system, he quickly fabricated a series of non-existent stories in his mind. He first pretended to be mysterious and said...
"Do you...believe in the existence of the Beast God?"
Beast God?
Why bring up the legends told by the older generation out of the blue?
If this question had been asked before Tu Yuling displayed her strength, the clan leader would definitely have started to kick her out. However, the soreness in his back told him that this rabbit was not simple, so the clan leader nodded against his will.
Yu Ling: Oh, so there really is a fool who believes in this stuff? Then he'll start making things up!
"Ahem, the Beast God, as everyone knows, is the common ruler of all our beast races..." Yu Ling began his performance, "He possesses incomparably powerful strength and extraordinary wisdom, and is the greatest and most powerful being in the world. He is elusive, has no fixed form, yet he is always protecting us."
In Yu Ling's mouth, all sorts of myths and legends came out of her mouth without hesitation. The Beast God became a god comparable to the creator, mysterious and powerful, who also protected the peace and tranquility of the world of beastmen and would help the destined beastmen solve any insurmountable difficulties, including natural disasters.
The chieftain asked, "But why have I never seen the 'miracle' you speak of?"
That's a great question!
“That’s because almost all the orcs no longer worship the Beast God, which is why I’m here,” Yu Ling said with a compassionate expression. “I’ve come to spread the faith in the Beast God. As long as you offer your sincere faith, the Beast God will protect every one of his believers.”
The clan leader was already stunned by Yu Ling's performance. Could this rabbit have gone mad from believing in the Beast God? The story was exciting, but it could only fool the cubs. These days, people worship the Beast God for peace of mind; it's absolutely impossible to place one's hopes on such a thing.
But he roughly guessed Yu Ling's intentions. It was just the rabbit tribe, not joining a hunting party. Finding a position under his nose wasn't unacceptable. The wolf tribe did indeed need a new priest, so he figured he could just play along and appease the child. Therefore, he responded with a serious expression:
"You're right, child. So how should I cooperate with you?"
Yu Ling: Er Sha has taken the bait!
"Ahem, I happen to be a priest, and I can spread the faith of the wolf clan."
"Okay, then I'll leave the rest to you!"
The clan chief and Yu Ling were having a great time acting, while Lang Ye listened in disbelief. One of them dared to say it, and the other actually believed it!
