In the blink of an eye, Long Yin had changed her into a black cloak, which infuriated Eileen.
That white cloak was specially given by Long Yin for You Ran to wear on this special day, but he never expected it to be dirtied by this suddenly appearing wild female.
That's really disgusting!
Meanwhile, Eileen, who was standing to the side, saw that she was not going down!
She was extremely anxious, but she didn't dare to go forward and tell Mu Youran to leave.
If she dared to do that, not only would Long Yin not agree, but even the Beast King, who disliked You Ran, would not allow it.
Even if Mu Youran is not someone he likes, she is still his son's partner!
To embarrass Long Yin's partner in public is to embarrass Long Yin, and to embarrass Long Yin is to embarrass the Beast King!
Just then, golden rays of light suddenly appeared on the horizon, and the beastmen below shouted excitedly!
"The Great Shaman, it's our Great Shaman! He's finally here!"
"My goodness, the great shaman is amazing!"
At this moment, the Beast King led everyone to stand up, facing the golden glow ahead, which grew brighter and closer.
Such colors and scenery made You Ran's heart ache!
This scene immediately brought her back to the memory of that raging fire.
Watching your loved one slowly burn to a crisp, filled with despair, pain, and heartbreak.
Sensing the tension around him, Long Yin took her hand in his and whispered gently, "Don't be afraid."
Here, it wasn't just You Ran who was nervous; Eileen, who was standing next to her and saw that You Ran hadn't gone down, was also extremely flustered.
As a golden phoenix slowly approached, it landed steadily on the platform below.
She wore a white gauze dress, with red ribbons adorning her shoulders, which complemented the red and green belt around her waist.
As he moved, he drifted in the wind, like a banished immortal.
However, the black mask on his face made him look somewhat frightening.
Seeing Huang Yu appear here wearing a mask, Eileen immediately felt relieved. It turned out that the Great Shaman needed to wear a mask for the sacrificial ceremony.
You Ran saw that very familiar back view, and the way it moved was just like that person!
She stared at the scene in disbelief. Huang Yu was clearly dead, so how could someone who looked so much like her appear here?
Although the two look very similar, You Ran knows very well that this is not Huang Yu!
Because the beast form of Huang Yu is a peacock, not this golden phoenix.
Even so, faced with such a familiar figure, she still really wanted to know what kind of face was under that fierce black mask.
Huang Yu immediately noticed the intense gaze coming from the three people on the top floor.
He looked up at the high steps ahead, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw the red-clad female standing beside him.
A strong sense of familiarity washed over him, slowing his steps.
That sorrowful face and those sad eyes made his heart ache inexplicably.
Such unnecessary emotions shouldn't be present here.
He then shifted his gaze to the male standing next to You Ran.
He had heard of this male before; the one standing here must be the Beast King's precious son.
If she could become the Hidden Prince's partner, then she must only have the Hidden Prince as her partner. Presumably, the child in her belly is the Hidden Prince's.
It shouldn't have anything to do with me. I just noticed this female. Maybe it's just because she's too stunningly beautiful, and because among all the happy expressions, only hers is so passionate and so sad, which is why she attracted my attention.
Having figured this out, he withdrew his scrutinizing gaze and strode onto the altar!
"The sacrificial ceremony to Heaven begins..."
Eileen glanced at the two people so close yet strangers, and couldn't help but smile.
Mu Youran was completely dazed. That familiar back view, wearing clothes she had personally designed, made her feel more and more like her Huang Yu!
It wasn't until the sacrificial ceremony ended and the high shaman left the scene that she was helped back to the palace, and only then did she come to her senses!
She really wanted to see what kind of face was under the mask!
"Long Yin, why do you think the high shaman wears a mask when performing the heavenly sacrifice?"
Long Yin helped her remove the snow-covered cloak from her body and explained to her with a smile.
"This is a rule that has been passed down since ancient times. It is said that as long as the Great Shaman wears this mask and appears in the eyes of the God every year, he can become a familiar face. Hopefully, the God will bless us orcs with abundant wild animals and resources in the coming year because of our familiarity with him!"
Mu Youran understood; perhaps it really was just a resemblance.
He patted his unusually large belly, took out two blue crystals, and ate them.
While she can still run, she wants to do some things.
"Longyin, let's go out to the market and have some fun for a while."
"OK!"
Long Yin wished the whole world's beastmen would know that You Ran was his partner!
I pulled her out through a small door on the side. Although it was snowing heavily, the surrounding area was bustling with noise and very lively!
There are many shops around, but they are no different from those in Yunmengze. They mainly sell wild animal meat and hides!
There are now places that specialize in selling blue crystals, and there are also many pottery shops.
There are also several restaurants that specialize in barbecue.
"Look! The rat tribe is bullying the other orcs again!"
In the crowd, someone shouted something, and those who liked to watch the excitement swarmed and ran after them.
Upon hearing this, You Ran also ran after her.
She was quite curious to see how the rat tribe bullied people in Beast King City, daring to commit evil deeds right under the Beast King's nose.
"Hmph, Bailey, you either pay back the money today, principal and interest, or you take this house as collateral!"
"You should choose carefully."
Shuduoduo sat directly on the stool at the shop entrance, crossed his legs, and glared fiercely at the middle-aged male standing in the snow, begging for mercy!
"Young master, I really don't have that much. Please give me a few more days. Once I sell this batch of animal hides, I'll definitely be able to pay the interest!"
As soon as this was said, the lackey next to Mouse Duoduo swept the animal hides on the stall to the ground with one arm and kicked them hard!
"Who cares about this junk of yours? How much can you sell it for?"
"If you know what's good for you, you'd better mortgage the house right away. Otherwise, in two days, even if you were included, it wouldn't be enough to pay off the debt!"
The bystanders shook their heads.
"I wonder if Belli really didn't intend to borrow money from the rat tribe. You know, their interest rates are very high!"
"That's right. I heard that Bailey only borrowed one hundred seashells back then. Three years have passed, so he should have to pay back at least one thousand seashells."
The male standing next to him, arms crossed, couldn't help but sneer, "What's so special about that? I heard that with interest compounding, plus the principal, it's already worth two thousand seashells!"
"What?"
"This is way too dark!"
The orc who said this clearly lowered his voice, afraid that someone with ulterior motives would hear it, and it would be bad if the rat tribe held a grudge.
