Shi Tianming then smiled and said, "Of course, these people who offer tribute all have one goal: to return to the Holy Domain. This is the only chance for the exiled. If their tribute is selected and the adults are satisfied, they can become citizens of the Holy Domain again. So I want to cooperate with you."
Upon hearing this, Yueyue looked at Shi Tianming and couldn't help but doubt, "Is this true?" Not far away, Ximing and Da Yi walked over. Ximing looked at Shi Tianming and said, "What he said is true. The Holy Domain has such a rule, but the selection is very strict. Why do you think Haitang is suitable?"
"She's beautiful, and a good person too." Looking at Haitang, Shi Tianming said, "I've been with many women, and there are some who, even if they deliberately make themselves look ugly, can still be recognized as top-quality at a glance. She is one of them." Haitang has a good figure, and even if she tries her best to hide it, her temperament still reveals that she is a beauty.
Upon hearing this, Haitang's lips twitched. She looked at Yueyue standing beside her, and Yueyue looked at Shitianming and said, "No." She couldn't let her sister take the risk. At that moment, Shitianming looked at Yueyue, took a sip from something at his waist. It was wine, and Yueyue could smell it. Shitianming swallowed hard.
"No? Then it will be very difficult for you to go to the Holy Domain. This is a legitimate way to sneak in, and... since you all have to go to the Holy Domain, once you get in, your woman will still be snatched away by others after she has been castrated. In that case, why not become tribute? At least there will be fewer people snatching her away, because those tributes are for important people."
Looking at Haitang and Yueyue in front of him, Shi Tianming said coldly. What Shi Tianming said made a lot of sense. Yueyue understood, but she still couldn't agree. Ximing looked at Yueyue and wanted to speak, but then he thought of something and fell silent. This was Haitang and Yueyue's business and had nothing to do with him, so he should stay out of it.
At this moment, Haitang looked at the silent Yueyue, then at Shitianming, and said, "Okay, we can cooperate, but I want to know how you were expelled?" Haitang said, and after seeing Yueyue's expression, she reached out and grabbed Yueyue's hand. Yueyue looked at Haitang's gaze and understood.
Haitang's gaze told Yueyue that she should handle the matter herself. Although Yueyue was a little worried, her long-standing trust and respect for Haitang made her quickly compromise and let Haitang deal with the matter herself. At this moment, Shi Tianming looked at Haitang and Yueyue's reactions and suddenly understood something.
Haitang and Yueyue seemed to be in a romantic relationship, but something felt off. At least Yueyue listened to Haitang on many things, because just by looking at a single gesture, Yueyue didn't say much. This showed that Yueyue was very tolerant of the female Haitang, but when it came to her own affairs...
“We’re cooperating, and you know we’re going to the Holy Land, but we don’t know why you’re going to the Holy Land? That’s not fair. Besides, if we’re cooperating, we should be completely honest with each other,” Haitang said. Upon hearing this, Shitianming looked at Haitang and then at Yueyue, who was standing silently to the side.
“I’ll listen to her. We can exchange some information, so in this situation, we need to be honest with each other.” Yueyue looked at Shi Tianming and said. Yueyue’s distrust of Shi Tianming was even stronger than Haitang’s. She felt that this man was strange and needed to be guarded against.
Upon hearing this, Shi Tianming nodded and looked at Yueyue, saying, "I am from the Lion Clan tribe, the Lion Clan tribe of the Holy Domain. The Lion Clan tribe of the Holy Domain is a large family, and within this large family are many smaller families. Of course, these are all collateral branches. I am the young patriarch of a small family, but I have been expelled now."
Shi Tianming's background is actually both melodramatic and pitiful. His mother was originally a princess. After marrying his father, his father soon brought back many females. In this era, there was no such thing as a concubine, only female slaves. However... the fact that these female slaves rose to power is disgusting.
Shi Tianming's father fell in love with a female slave and began to seduce his own wife. After his wife was taken away, he then targeted Shi Tianming, the young clan leader, in order to secure a position for his female slave's son. Under such framing and rejection, and through his own father's schemes, Shi Tianming was not only disfigured as expected, but was also driven out by everyone.
When Haitang heard this with Yueyue, she looked at Shi Tianming and suddenly felt that Shi Tianming's fate was truly tragic. His end was something no ordinary person could possibly have. Shi Tianming, looking at Haitang and Yueyue, asked, "Then where are you? Where did you come from? Why are your belongings more exquisite than those of the Holy Domain? Are you from an ocean tribe?"
"Ocean Tribe?" Haitang was slightly taken aback when she heard this, while Shi Tianming nodded. However, when Shi Tianming looked at Haitang and Da Yi and the others, he shook his head.
“You are not from the Ocean Tribe. The Ocean Tribe does not have this kind of aura. Moreover, you are from the Tiger Tribe. You should be from the Lizard Tribe.” Looking at Yueyue following Lizard Ming, Lion Sky Cry spoke up at this moment, “Impossible... How could the Tiger Tribe have such good things outside? The Lizard Tribe is about the same.”
As he spoke, he looked at Haitang's wrist. The thing on her wrist was the most exquisite, shiny and looking a bit strange. This thing was a weapon made of steel. Haitang had never taken it off since she put it on. To others, it was obviously just an ornament, because such a weapon had never appeared before. Of course, it was also very beautiful as an ornament.
“We come from a very far place, where there is a tiger tribe. It is said that… our ancestor was a female who had transformed into a beast,” Haitang said. When Shi Tianming heard this, he was slightly taken aback. He knew about this, but he couldn’t help but frown.
"Impossible. Only a few hundred people escaped. Some were injured or killed on the way, so there should be even fewer left. How could they have such good resources?" Lion Sky Ming didn't believe it. In fact, Lion Sky Ming knew about that incident, which had shocked the entire Holy Domain, and the death of that female beastman had not yet subsided.
Even now in this sacred realm, there are still females who want to secretly transform into beastmen, but they fail every time. Some females hate being enslaved by these beastmen, so they want to become stronger. Of course, this is not allowed. In the sacred realm, having such thoughts is a heinous crime.
Upon hearing this, Shi Tianming chuckled and said, "Impossible. You're joking with me. Fine, it doesn't matter if you don't tell the truth. I just want you to cooperate."
Lion Sky didn't trust what Begonia and Moon were saying, but it didn't matter... He only wanted a chance to return to the Holy Domain, and he didn't care whether the people he was cooperating with were telling the truth.
Upon hearing this, Haitang glanced at Shi Tianming. This man was really strange. She had told Yueyue the truth. Oh well... if he didn't believe her, he didn't believe her. But she could consider the cooperation.
