Tuer's face was covered in wrinkles, his teeth were sparse and yellowed, his eyes were cloudy, and his pupils moved slowly, giving him an aged appearance. He looked even older than Monet from the Yushan tribe.
He looked Guo Xiaoxiao up and down, nodding in satisfaction. She was truly beautiful, even more so than they had described. In all his years, Tuer had never seen a female like her.
"Little female, my name is Tu'er. I've heard about your situation. Welcome to our White Stone Tribe. Yesterday, many males came into your tent. Did you pick a few you liked? I originally wanted you to be with our chief, but he really isn't interested in females."
"Select warriors from several tribes. You'll receive excellent treatment in the White Stone Tribe. We are the strongest tribe in the Southern Continent. Our chieftain, Ian, is protected by the Five-Star Ring Beastmen, ensuring our tribe's eternal peace. I guarantee that the White Stone Tribe will never be invaded by beastmen."
Guo Xiaoxiao was annoyed, but she didn't show it on her face. It seemed that the orcs delivering the goods yesterday was like signing up; now the real show was about to begin.
"You've locked up my male, when are you going to release him? My male is very fierce, I can't choose other males without his permission."
Tur still had a smile on his face.
"No matter how fierce a male is, he cannot go against the female's wishes; that's against the rules. If he's unwilling to even choose a few males, it means he needs to be disciplined."
She already has five husbands. If she were to choose a few more, she'd probably be the one being disciplined. How could she dare to discipline them? Guo Xiaoxiao said.
"Could you let me meet my male partner first? I need to discuss it with him."
Tuer knew what Guo Xiaoxiao was up to; her male snake beast was very powerful, and Ian had instructed her never to release it.
Although he can't transform into a beast if he suppresses his abilities, ordinary beastmen would definitely be no match for him if he were released.
"You chose the male; you don't need to discuss it with him. I'll arrange for you to meet after you've made your choice."
Guo Xiaoxiao: "Why not now? I just want to take a look to make sure he's safe. Are you afraid I'll run away?"
She truly wanted to run away, to rescue Carlos and escape together. Any orc capable of knocking Carlos unconscious must be incredibly powerful; she couldn't confront them head-on, so she decided to slip away stealthily.
Tur: "He's safe. He's your male. We won't hurt him. Trust me. The White Stone tribe is very disciplined, and we treat females the best. You can go to the other tents and see the females' living conditions. Meat, fruit, and wild vegetables are piled high in every tent."
Guo Xiaoxiao believed Tuer's suggestion of flowers, even if it was from any tribe; that wasn't the key point. She wouldn't choose any male.
Five already, five already, there's not even enough room to line them all up!
Guo Xiaoxiao: "You don't need to worry about my affairs. Please just tell me where he is. I just want to see him for a moment, just one glance. Can't you please do me a favor?"
Tur shook his head: "I think you should mate with a male from our tribe before seeing him."
The orcs who witnessed Guo Xiaoxiao's spellcasting told Tuer everything about their fight. Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he still took precautions, just in case. The world was never peaceful.
Tuer declared, "Little female, your male will not leave you. Don't worry, he won't get hurt. If we wanted to do something, we wouldn't need to go to such lengths to capture him. All we've done is to ensure you can stay safely in the White Stone Tribe."
Guo Xiaoxiao bit her lip. "Do I have to choose a male? What if I don't want to choose?"
A female who doesn't mate with a male and produce offspring is considered useless to a tribe, even though the orcs treat the females exceptionally well.
There exists a balance between males and females. When a female can no longer contribute to the tribe's interests, and can neither transform into a beast nor kill wild animals, who will protect her?
Every tribe is like this. The reason they treat you so well is simply to have you bear children so that the tribe can prosper. If the females stop having children and mating, and no new generation appears, the tribe will inevitably decline.
Old ginger is spicier; Tuer maintained a mild demeanor on the surface.
"Don't you like any of the orcs who came yesterday? Just say so, and I can help you choose other orcs. However, since you've joined the White Stone Tribe, you can't choose a male; it's part of the joining process."
In the beast world, an unwritten rule states that if a female abandoned in the wild is found by a male, he has the right to be the first to mate.
A new female joining a tribe must choose five males to be considered a full member, regardless of how many males she has had before.
Guo Xiaoxiao recalled that during her time in the Yushan tribe, if it weren't for Mikel protecting her, she would have been forced to choose a male.
She was all alone now, and unable to resist being forced, so she decided to stall for time, feigning compromise with arrogance.
How many orcs are there in your tribe? Do you have any with four-star rings?
Four-star rings are a very high level, and tribes rarely produce more than a few. Don't be fooled by Guo Xiaoxiao's males; they're all five-star rings, reverse-star rings, or inherited beastmen—she's taken all the good ones. Most of the rest will spend their entire lives stuck at two-star rings.
Tu'er looked troubled; their tribe did not have a four-star ring.
Apart from Ian, who is a five-star ring inheritor orc, the highest level among the others is three-star ring.
"Could you lower your standards a bit? I can help you choose a single male from our tribe with a three-star ring. After all, you're a high priest, and those with lower rings aren't good enough for you. I won't recommend any two-star orcs."
Guo Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, since they thought I was a female who knew witchcraft, would it work if I pretended to be a ghost to fool them?
She coughed and became solemn.
"No, my male must be a four-star. I swore an oath to the Beast God that if I don't choose a four- or five-star orc, I will have my Great Shaman powers taken away and be reduced to an ordinary person."
She continued speaking in a serious tone
"You all know I know witchcraft, right? I paid a huge price to learn it; it's my greatest honor. I can't ruin my abilities just by choosing a male."
Tuer was skeptical; he had only heard rumors and didn't know the full extent of Guo Xiaoxiao's abilities.
The Great Witches have been extinct for many years, and no human or beastman with witchcraft has appeared in the Beast World since. When he heard them say that a new female had witchcraft, he was quite excited, but then he thought that was not right. Where did the female learn witchcraft? Does she have the ability herself?
A cloud of doubt rose overhead, and Tu'er's expression turned solemn. He pondered deeply: with a great shaman in their tribe, their White Stone tribe would become the strongest tribe on the desolate continent.
But is it real or fake?
Tours said
"I've heard legends that a great shaman once existed in the Beast World, but I've never actually seen him. Since you are a great shaman, could you demonstrate your abilities so I can witness them?"
