Yunwen slowly put down the fox on her body, stood up, and said, "Okay, let's do it."

I was about to stop her, but Lingshang grabbed my hand. I couldn't help but look at her. She whispered in my ear, "During this time, the hyenas didn't know that Sister Yunwen was in the ant cave, nor did they know that it was Sister Yunwen who subdued Mei Sanniang and saved everyone. During the time when Sister Yunwen was absent, Bailu basically took over the management of all the hyenas' logistics affairs, and it was Bailu who bravely fought in the front when defending the city. Isn't that magical thing made of iron sheets the most important thing to stop the rats? Therefore, Bailu's status in the hearts of the hyenas is not low."

That does make sense. Hyena people only believe what is in front of them, and are mostly unaware of Yunwen's efforts and contributions behind the scenes. Bailu took advantage of Yunwen's absence to build up some prestige for herself, and used it as a bargaining chip to compete with Yunwen, so as to force me to recognize her status.

During this period, Yunwen agreed to the competition not out of impulse. On the contrary, she wanted to use the competition to regain the prestige she had lost in the hearts of the hyenas, so that all the hyenas could sincerely acknowledge her return and status. If this matter is not discussed clearly, if she orders the hyenas to do things in the future, her prestige will not be clear. Wouldn't that be unfair and unreasonable?

So Bailu called out to all the hyena people, asking them to stop dancing and return to their seats. Yunwen then communicated with the hyena people in the same way that all things communicate, explaining the rules of tonight and asking them to use charcoal to draw what they wanted the competition to be like. This was actually a declaration of their requirements for their future mistress, and which aspect they hoped she would excel in.

So the twenty-five adult hyena people all drew pictures of their own contents on the stones with charcoal, and removed some that were difficult to understand. There were about eight or nine stones left. The contents of the competition included three lines on the top of the oval, representing potatoes and heat, which is cooking. Some were simple lines drawing two people hitting each other, and recommended a fight competition. The most popular one was dancing, and the patterns were basically the same, a stickman line with a bent elbow, which looked like dancing.

It seems that their biggest requirement for the mistress is to be able to conquer them with the most primitive dance moves.

By the bonfire, Yunwen and Bailu were preparing themselves. I listened to Lingshang's words and didn't want to persuade Yunwen anymore. But when she looked at me, I would mouth the words to her, "Come on!"

Dance can best exude personal charm. At the same time, the dance posture can give the hyena people the greatest impression. Dance with power will leave a strong image, dance with tenderness will leave a gentle image, dance with simplicity will leave a down-to-earth image, dance with charm will leave a beautiful image. Many languages ​​can be seen from dance. This is what the most primitive humans are best at using for communication. Now it is indeed the most appropriate way to use it for competition.

But none of us knows which image or dance posture the hyena people value most, so there is no trick here.

At this time, the two female hyenas were mumbling a lot, and Yunwen translated it for us: "They said, they sing and we dance, and they will choose whoever dances best."

The night that should have been relaxing, at this moment began to become tense again. I knew that Bai Lu would take action after eavesdropping on those conversations hiding in the dark corner, especially when Ling Shang mentioned that the arrangements for consummating my marriage and getting married in the future would be under the charge of the so-called queen, which completely aroused Bai Lu's jealousy.

So, Lingshang and I sat near the campfire and watched. At the same time, the hyenas began their ghostly howls. It can be said that their voices were not pleasant to hear, as their throats were structured like hyenas, so the sounds were basically similar to those of hyenas in the animal world. The sounds they made included long whines and thin calls similar to those of geese and ducks. When the sounds rose and fell, it was impossible to catch the so-called rhythm, and they were suppressing their throats, which was particularly harsh. If it weren't for the competition, I would have stopped them.

But the rules have been set, and I can't stop them. I just don't know what kind of dance moves can be performed under such noise? It's good enough that I didn't get scared.

Once you are on the stage, there must be a winner and a loser. Yunwen and Bailu are now standing among the hyena people, on both sides of the campfire, listening to the unpleasant sounds coming one after another. They also have to start preparing for their dances. What surprises me is that neither of them feels uncomfortable. They both stand there and feel the music.

I can understand Yunwen, the Yangshen Wood in her body can let her interpret the language and emotions expressed by the hyenas, but how can Bailu feel these things? It was not until I saw her eyes turn red that I realized that for this competition, she used the blood pupils of the high priest and the witchcraft of life and death to intervene in the thinking of the hyenas and directly obtain the information in their brains.

But Yunwen was also using her magical powers after all. If I stopped Bailu, it would seem unfair, so I could only let her do what she wanted.

At this time, Ling Shang, who was sitting next to me, leaned close to my ear and said, "Zhou Lang, guess what the hyena man is singing right now?"

"What are they singing? I'm tone-deaf. I can't understand normal songs, let alone such abnormal ones. I feel like I just hear a group of ghosts crying." I said, scratching my neck.

"Homesickness, longing for my hometown. Although I cannot understand their language, I can understand their emotions. After all, I was once an ordinary fox, and we lived in the same forest. I can understand many of their tones." Ling Shang said.

Homesickness? Since Lingshang has figured out the meaning, Yunwen and Lingshang must have understood the topic. How will they perform in their dance? I watched intently.

At this time, I saw Bai Lu first start dancing. I saw her stretching her body, sometimes flexible and sometimes restrained, relying on some ballet postures to show her elegance and emotional expression. It can be seen that her posture is showing our glory today, riding a horse, punching and wading, curling up into the shape of a house, showing the stability of eating, with a high posture, graceful dancing and strong expressiveness. This made me worry about Yunwen. This performance was excellent and also gave the answer to the proposition.

At this time, Yunwen opened her eyes, and she began to sway her body. The difference was that she moved with the sound, rising and falling, sometimes like a flower and sometimes like a tree. Her performance was not like the standard ballet style. Instead, she looked like many folk animals in China. However, she was different from Bailu. She seemed to dance for the music. There was no fixed narrative, but she swayed, turned, jumped, and changed lightly, imitating all kinds of birds, flowers and plants. Her dance was as graceful as a fairy and lively like an elf running in the mountains, happy and natural.

If there was no topic, this dance would be excellent, but unfortunately it did have a topic, and maybe she didn't see it. I thought maybe the winner had already been decided, and unfortunately Yunwen lost because she went off topic.

I couldn't help but worry about whether this would have any impact on her, but since she had already accepted the challenge, she had to accept defeat. There was nothing wrong with that, and she had no choice but to bear it.

Not long after, the hyena man's voice stopped, and the two girls also stopped dancing. They each took a breath. Yunwen looked at me, full of confidence, but I could only give her a forced smile to encourage her. Now the victory or defeat is not decided by me. The rules say that the hyena people will decide, so it can only be decided by public opinion, so I can't help her.

The rules had been set beforehand, so the twenty-five hyenas each took a stone and walked forward. They would throw stones next to the one they thought jumped the best, and this continued until all twenty-five had thrown stones. Whoever had the most votes would win.

I couldn't help but get nervous. After all the stones were put away, Lingshang and I went to each end to count our votes. Whoever had more than thirteen votes would win. So I counted the stones on Bailu's end, fearing that she had too many. But after counting for a while, I was shocked. She only had six stones.

"Sister Yunwen has nineteen, so Sister Yunwen wins." Lingshang on the other end announced the result.

I was very surprised. The result was totally different from what I expected. What was the reason? Bai Lu stomped her feet in anger and left. I looked at Yunwen. She was still confident and energetic. This time, I smiled at her sincerely, not forcing it.

But I still don't understand why she, who was off topic, beat Bai Lu in dancing...
