Chapter 32 The Beast Shows Up
She felt like a little deer running around in her heart, thinking:
What? I can live that long? Does that mean I can be like an immortal elf, forever youthful and beautiful? Then I can be the little fairy of the tribe forever!
What’s more, your future partner will no longer be those old men with lost teeth and drooling, but a handsome and charming man forever!
As soon as this idea came up, Xia Yueke was like a chicken with its blood injected, and started shouting with excitement.
She thought excitedly: "Now that's the case, I have to think carefully about what kind of partner I should choose. Should I choose someone who runs fast like a cheetah, or is as strong as a lion? Or someone who is as smart and clever as a fox? Haha, there are so many choices!"
That’s right, Xia Yueke had already gotten used to the affectionate look between Wu Ya and the two beast husbands.
Wu Ya was like a little princess who was spoiled to the skies. Those two beastly husbands were always around her, giving her a beautiful wild flower from time to time. Their attentiveness made Xia Yue feel sick of it.
Then they started praising Wu Ya one after another, and those corny words gave Xia Yueke goose bumps.
So she thought that the reason she did not lose her memory and reincarnate was because she suffered too much in her previous life, and this life was to compensate her!
Xia Yueke readily accepted the requirement of choosing several partners. After all...it's what her heart desires!
Duzi looked at Xia Yueke who was suddenly so happy, his face full of confusion.
He scratched his hairy head and muttered:
"Keke, what are you so happy about? Don't you still have to choose a partner? What's there to be happy about? Are you scared silly?"
Xia Yueke rolled her eyes at him, as if she was looking at a clueless little fool, thinking to herself:
Hey, Duzi, Duzi, your little head really doesn't understand my happiness! It's like you thought you had to take bitter medicine for the rest of your life, but it turned out to be sweet candy. How can you not be happy? Humph!
Now Xia Yue was finally relieved. As soon as the big stone in her heart fell to the ground, her appetite was like a flood that had been opened, and everything she ate tasted delicious.
In just two days, she felt like a blown-up balloon, gaining a lot of weight. Her little body was so round that she seemed a little wobbly when she walked, like a cute little ball of fur rolling on the ground.
The big day of choosing a partner has finally arrived.
Early in the morning, when it was still dark, Wu Ya rushed into Xia Yueke's nest in a hurry, as if she was going to a war.
She immediately woke up Xia Yuke who was still sleeping soundly.
Then Wu Ya started her "big project".
She held a special small comb with fine and dense teeth. Wu Ya used this comb to comb Xia Yueke's hair, again and again, until every strand of hair was combed smooth.
After combing the hair, Wuya produced a gorgeous little red flower from nowhere.
Wu Ya carefully put the flower on Xia Yueke's head, looked left and right, and adjusted the position several times, for fear that it would be worn a little crookedly.
After all this trouble from Wu Ya, Xia Yueke turned into a super beautiful little fox.
Xia Yueke moved closer to the water and looked at her reflection in the water. Her eyes were like two azure blue gems, clear and bright.
The pink and tender little nose kept twitching, and the red mark on the head looked like it was painted on.
With the addition of that little red flower, Xia Yue is now the most dazzling female cub in the tribe.
After finishing all this, Wu Ya clapped her hands proudly, as if she had completed a great masterpiece.
She said with pride, "My Coco is indeed the most beautiful! Today, you can choose any male beast you like. As a female beast, I will fully support you!"
When Xia Yueke heard this, she screamed with excitement.
Wu Ya picked up the chubby Xia Yueke, Chu Qingchen and Qiu Xing followed behind, looked at the three little guys, smiled at each other, and then set off together towards the square to choose their partners!
They came to the square. Colorful animal skins were hung all over the branches, swaying gently in the breeze. The ground was decorated with intricate and beautiful patterns made with colorful stones.
The tribesmen gathered around the square, their faces filled with excitement. Everyone was looking forward to the grand event of choosing mates for the two female cubs.
Xia Yueke was pulled to one side of the square by Wu Ya. She looked at the lively scene with curiosity in her eyes.
The other female cub next to her was called Mia. She stood there shyly, with her head lowered, occasionally stealing a glance at the lively scene around her, and rubbing her small paws nervously on the ground.
She kept her eyes down, not daring to look at the young male beasts around her who were eager to try.
When the elder announced the start of the partner selection ceremony, her heart beat faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.
Occasionally she would raise her head slightly and glance quickly around.
When a young male beast displayed his prowess, she would steal a glance at him from under her eyelashes.
Looking at those strong or agile figures, an imperceptible light flashed in his eyes, but he soon lowered his head shyly and rubbed the ground gently with his claws, as if to relieve the tension and panic in his heart.
When a male animal looked at her, she shrank slightly like a frightened deer, and her breathing became rapid. She didn't know if there was the one she liked among the many choices.
Her female beast, Enri, was giving her instructions.
"Mia, you must choose a partner with the highest level of beastmark today, understand? That way, he can protect you in the future!"
Mia nodded her fox head to show that she understood.
When Xia Yuke heard this, she curled her lips slightly. What? Shouldn't she be allowed to pick the one she likes?
The tribal elder stood on the high platform in the center of the square, cleared his throat, and a loud voice rang out:
"My fellow tribesmen, today is an important day for choosing mates for our two female cubs. This is related to the continuation and development of our tribe."
The tribesmen in the audience quieted down and listened attentively.
The elder continued:
"According to tradition, if the young male beasts are interested, they can step forward and demonstrate their strength and courage."
After these words were spoken, many young male beasts were eager to try.
The male beasts were all dressed up in all kinds of fancy clothes, and their appearances were really strange and bizarre.
Some male animals combed their fur high, like a small black hill on their heads, probably to make themselves look more powerful, but in Xia Yueke's eyes, it looked like a funny big broom moving.
Some male beasts have all kinds of shiny stones and bones hung all over their bodies, making a constant "ding-dong" sound when they walk, just like a moving grocery store.
Xia Yueke was put on the ground by Wu Ya. As soon as she appeared, many pairs of eyes looked over at her.
The eyes of those male beasts were staring intently, like a hungry wolf seeing a fresh, fat lamb.
