Everyone looked unhappy. Guo Xiaoxiao stood at a higher position behind the stone platform and spoke to them from above.
"Today is everyone's coming of age, and I don't want to make the atmosphere too awkward. Don't you all want to get closer to me? How about this, we'll divide into groups of 10 people each, and have them come to me one by one."
"That way, there's no need to fight over it, and everyone can get close. Isn't that great?"
The orcs' expressions softened, and they looked at each other, indicating that this method was quite good.
This required the help of Cangjue and Arthur. The five of them helped distribute the teams, and the other orcs who had come to watch the orcs' coming-of-age ceremony also assisted. It had been a long time since it had been this lively; it was a large gathering. They didn't worry too much about the details.
"The assignments are complete. Now let's begin. Everyone, please be quiet. This is a solemn moment."
After Monet finished speaking, he handed the stage to Guo Xiaoxiao, who was completely embarrassed and didn't know how to start, seeing everyone staring at her.
Not knowing what to do, but unable to back down now, she gave Mickson a wink, and Mickson lit the wood in front of her table, which sparked.
Under the burning flames, that's how it is. A girl stood in front of the table and turned around mysteriously.
Then he picked up a small stick, pointed it at the sky, and shouted.
"We are all here today to celebrate your coming of age. We hope that you will all be healthy, happy, and blessed forever."
"Thank you all for coming to my coming-of-age ceremony. I hope you will all have a happy and fulfilling future. Please give me a round of applause."
A sparse chorus of applause erupted from below.
Guo Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, it was finally progressing smoothly. Then she continued...
"Once you all come of age, you will become warriors of the tribe, fighting for it. You will all be brave and strong orcs. The Beast God is watching over you from the heavens forever. I will convey your thoughts and dreams to the Beast God, and he will fulfill his promise."
"To protect you forever, to protect his people forever."
"Please close your eyes and pray sincerely."
Not only the orcs participating in the ceremony, but also the orcs visiting the site, and even the female orcs who overheard these words from the upper floor of the cave, all closed their eyes and began to pray and make wishes.
Guo Xiaoxiao spoke with a powerful and resolute voice, operating everything like a goddess.
Oh right, they went on to say that they were going to divide them into groups of 10.
"Please, the first group, come over and make your wishes first. Just say them to me, and I will convey them to the Beast God."
Upon hearing this, the beastmen crowded around Guo Xiaoxiao, almost to the corner of the table.
Guo Xiaoxiao gave a reminder.
"Alright, that's enough. Stay right here and don't come any closer. If you keep coming, even the Beast God will find you annoying. You need to respect the Beast God, understand?"
Upon hearing this, the beastmen obediently closed their eyes, clasped their hands together, and made their wishes.
What are their wishes usually? Guo Xiaoxiao thought about it and guessed that they probably wanted to find a partner, or to have children with a partner, or to become stronger and raise their star ring as high as possible.
Males in this era like to get married, but there's nothing wrong with that; they generally mate for life and remain faithful to that female.
If you put them in modern times, they would probably be highly sought after. But it's different now, since they would all be female and there would be no competition.
Given the orcs' qualities—handsome, considerate, gentle, and devoted to you wholeheartedly—it would be better to become a modern person and steal them away.
Guo Xiaoxiao looked at Carlos standing next to her. He had a faint smile on his face, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Guo Xiaoxiao sometimes wondered if Carlos and the others would still like her if they were in modern times, because there are so many beautiful women now, all kinds of shapes and sizes, and plenty of them with good personalities.
She couldn't guarantee the answer, but she didn't want to test human nature, which is the most vulnerable to temptation. If a beautiful and attractive woman suddenly appeared and showered a man with attention, I don't think anyone could resist.
But that's impossible; it's impossible to go back to the modern era. Let it be.
"Alright, the first group has finished and can go home. That's all. The second group can continue."
The next two people rushed over to Guo Xiaoxiao's side and began to make wishes with their hands clasped together. Some wishes were made for a very short time, while others were made for a very long time. It was not appropriate to urge them.
They don't usually have birthdays; they only celebrate this once in their lives. What else can you say about them?
The entire ceremony took more than 40 minutes. Finally, it was the last group's turn. This group included A-Yi, who had delivered watermelons last time. Guo Xiaoxiao remembered his face.
The sentiment behind sending a watermelon is not something easily forgotten. Guo Xiaoxiao even exchanged a smile with him. It wasn't that she wanted to give him special treatment; she just smiled to show her familiarity with him.
Ah Yi immediately began to make a wish, silently reciting it in his heart.
"I hope the Beast God will grant me a female, as beautiful as Guo Xiaoxiao. It would be wonderful if that female had only me. Of course, I know that's impossible, but I also hope you can hear my voice."
"I want future females to be able to rely on me. I will take meticulous care of them, and we will have many offspring. Every year, they can have a litter of my offspring, and we will live a happy and harmonious life together."
"I need to upgrade my current one-star ring to a two-star ring as soon as possible, so that I will have enough strength to protect my females."
It was just that simple and unpretentious. After making his wish, A-Yi opened his eyes and left contentedly.
Guo Xiaoxiao saw that there were no more people in line behind her.
