What does the Beast God look like?
Lai Shiba let out a self-deprecating laugh from his throat, hoarse and bitter.
Yu Li looked at Fu Ying quietly with his gilded eyes and pursed his lips. He knew that Fu Ying was talking to him as well.
"Even if you don't accept it, I will follow you. If you take my belongings, then we are in the same group!" Lai Shiba took a deep breath and did not choose to stand against Fu Ying. Instead, he immediately expressed his sincerity.
He wanted to be with her. Besides wanting a strong female to bear offspring for him, what he wanted more was to become stronger. As a wandering orc, he knew very well that being strong was the most important thing. As long as he could become stronger, what could he not get?
"In the same group?" Fu Ying raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Lai Shiba's burning eyes, and suddenly chuckled.
This Lai Shiba is more aware of the current situation than imagined.
An eight-star beastman would rather give up his freedom than not follow her.
She could see clearly what he was thinking.
"Female, I've etched these words into my bones! I promise I'll obey you in everything from now on. I'll beat up whoever you tell me to beat! I can be your follower! A long time ago, the Beast God Priestess of the Orc Continent had many followers around her. If I can't be your male, I'll be your sharpest claw!"
Lai Shiba's expression was sincere, and his voice was so deep that it seemed to be crushed out from his chest.
Hearing this, Yu Li half-closed his eyes and sneered at Lai Shiba: "Followers also need to form a pact."
"Make a contract?" Fu Ying was slightly surprised. She had never heard of such a follower. What was the Beast God Priestess?
Yu Li lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes.
He raised his eyes to look at Fu Ying and whispered, "In the Orc Continent, there were once messengers and witches who followed the Beast God. They had many followers. The witches were unwilling to form a contract with a male as a partner, so there was a follower contract, which is different from a partner contract."
"The only restriction is that followers must never harm the females they follow. Males who sign a follower contract are forbidden from choosing other females for the rest of their lives. It's so harsh that, over time, this contract fell out of use."
As he spoke, Yu Li glanced at Lai Shiba. He didn't believe that the latter was willing to sign a following contract with Fu Ying.
Fu Ying pondered for a moment. This Orc Continent is really full of restrictions. What exactly is the Beast God like?
Lai Shiba looked at Fu Ying with determination: "Female! I am willing to sign a following contract with you!"
This female is beautiful, strong, and soft-hearted. She is loyal to Yu Li, a male who is not her partner. Even though he is just a follower, he is still very close to her and can become an orc under her protection, right?
Orcs seek profit and avoid harm, but they can also distinguish between good and evil. He believes that following her is the right choice.
"You..." Yu Li's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Lai Shiba in disbelief.
Lai Shiba didn't look at him, but just stared at Fu Ying. After a moment, he knelt on one knee, crossed one arm across his chest, and pressed his fist against his heart. He said in a deep voice: "I, Lai Shiba, am willing to follow the witch Fu Ying and become the bone knife in your hand. Even if I fall into the eternal night, I will never abandon you!"
As his voice fell, the eight-star pattern on his forehead suddenly began to flicker, waiting for Fu Ying to sign the contract.
Yu Li looked at Lai Shiba, who did what he said, with a dazed look on his face.
Even he was unwilling to give up his partner's position so easily and become her follower, which meant that he could only stand behind her forever, always be inferior to her partner, and could never touch her.
Although he knew that Fu Ying was worth it, did Lai Shiba know?
This ragged wandering orc didn't hesitate at all.
Fu Ying also lowered her eyes to look at Lai Shiba. The snow-white girl on her shoulder raised her eyes, and her dark eyes fell on Lai Shiba.
In just a moment, it withdrew its gaze, curled up on Fu Ying's shoulder, and quietly absorbed the spiritual energy around her.
Lai Shiba felt that every moment of waiting was stretched to an infinite length, as if time had stood still. His heartbeat was roaring in his ears like a drum. He was afraid of being rejected, but also afraid of taking a wrong step and wasting his whole life.
I don't know how long I endured this agony before a lazy and charming voice suddenly sounded: "Lai Shiba, get up."
Lai Shiba suddenly raised his head, still kneeling on one knee, and met Fu Ying's narrow and beautiful eyes.
There was no expression on her face as she looked at him calmly. She did not have the complacency of an eight-star beastman following her, nor did she have the disgust of a toad beastman coveting her. She was indifferent, as if this was just a trivial matter.
"Female..." Lai Shiba's Adam's apple rolled with difficulty and he murmured.
Fu Ying lifted up his fingertips slightly, a breeze blew by, and Lai Shiba was lifted up uncontrollably.
He stumbled a bit before stabilizing himself.
"I don't need followers." Fu Ying's voice was very soft and indifferent.
"The most precious thing in this world is freedom. Lai Shiba, you are the wandering wind, free and unfettered. Why give up what you already have for a tiny profit? Such a deal is not worth it."
Fu Ying gently lifted the loose hair on the side of her cheek and tucked it behind her ear. She looked at Lai Shiba with a look that was both mocking and pitying.
These employees of the "Book Management Bureau" work hard every day, abandoning their dignity and having no freedom, just to retire and live a comfortable retirement life, which is like a dream of drunkenness and dreams.
Afterwards, the unhappy memories are erased, leaving the mission memories, and the person is rehired and restarted, repeating the cycle over and over again, just like a puppet with a new set of programs, serving the Administration for the rest of his life until he dies in the small world.
She attaches so much importance to this retirement life because to her, it is like the last time.
When she is cleansed of her own emotions and is rehired, is she still considered a "Fuying"?
Oh, by that time, what wakes up is just a new program with the same skin.
The Orc Continent is a matriarchal society, and the rules set by the Beast God have their own reasons. Females are born noble, and males are willing to submit. What is circulated in these contracts is the survival law of this continent for millions of years.
But she doesn't like it.
Most males in the Orc Continent are loyal, and the constraints of the partnership contract only account for a small part. Unfortunately, because of this constraint, they will be shackled for their entire lives, and even compete with many males for a female.
After some males form a bond, they may soon be rejected by the female and forgotten in the dust. They will not have the chance to bear offspring or even enjoy the female's gentle voice.
Just like the seven males who were bound by "Fuying", they were harmed by the greed of the females. They hated the females to the core and wanted revenge, even at the cost of their own lives. How pitiful and sad is that?
As for following the contract, it is even more ridiculous.
She didn't like Lai Shiba and would not take him as her partner, but that didn't mean she was willing to enslave or drive him around.
"I am a person who loves freedom by nature."
"Having more people around me is just another kind of shackle for me, isn't it?"
