Chapter 450: The Beast World Heartthrob (15)
Is this too sudden?
Qiao Xi hasn't fully reacted yet.
Clarence looked at her with an especially sincere and genuine gaze: "It is our White Snake Tribe's good fortune to have met you."
He smiled slightly, and his narrow eyes were filled with warmth.
In it.
There seemed to be a lingering and gentle warmth, making the handsome young man in front of her look even gentler.
“You may not know how special you are.”
There was a subtle excitement and enthusiasm in Clarence's voice. He seemed to be very good at using his advantages to cover up his indifferent nature.
The insidious and cunning snakes are very good at deceiving people.
She said a lot of nice things, such as she was destined to be favored by God and was the chosen saint.
Qiao Xi didn't understand what he heard.
Intentionally match the rhythm of his conversation.
Clarence coaxed her with half-truths, and the little girl seemed to be fooled by the half-truths. She seemed to really believe him and returned to the White Snake Tribe with him.
Qiao Xi perfectly cooperated with Clarence's performance.
but.
When the other party proposed to give the White Snake Tribe to her, Qiao Xi politely declined. She naturally did not intend to accept it.
It’s better to say.
She hadn't taken Clarence's words seriously at first.
Even if accepted.
The 'Saint' was merely a puppet to be manipulated, and she would be bound to death within the White Snake Tribe. The real power still lay in Clarence's hands, and everyone knew this.
therefore.
Clarence expressed regret for Qiao Xi's refusal.
So, in order to express his respect for Qiao Xi, he had to publicly announce that he would venerate Qiao Xi as the Saint of the White Snake Tribe, with the same status as the patriarch.
nature.
The saint was very pretentious, and all kinds of rare treasures were presented to her by the members of the White Snake Tribe.
Looks like.
They seemed to have been prepared and expected this to happen.
The members of the White Snake Tribe were not opposed to accepting Qiao Xi.
On the contrary, they seemed very excited.
The members of the White Snake Clan, who were originally cold and taciturn, were privately discussing that the holy child chosen by Lord Teng Snake had arrived.
Oh, but the Holy Child has grown up.
She is still a female, so the patriarch said that her name should be changed to Saint.
Naturally, they had no objection.
For them, Qiao Xi's joining means that their ancestors of faith have chosen to support them. This is destiny and recognition of their inherited bloodline!
It’s the approval of Lord Tengshe!
They are qualified descendants!
Therefore, sending the Saint to fulfill the oracle now would make the White Snake Tribe even more powerful. They were so convinced that even Clarence noticed the falling snow when he was enshrining Qiao Xi as the Saint.
I was also genuinely excited.
Qiao Xi felt even more surprised. She seemed to sense some familiar power being transferred to her.
That is because the White Snake tribe believes in Teng Snake.
The true power of faith generated.
Because they believed that she was the saint chosen by Teng Snake, and there was no real Teng Snake.
so.
When the White Snake people also have a strong belief in Qiao Xi, the power of their faith in Teng Snake will be transferred to Qiao Xi and blessed.
It also added some golden light of merit to her invisibly.
It's quite amazing.
The stronger the faith, the stronger the power gained. Blessing can play a significant role in spiritual power, and can even be used to protect the body from the erosion of evil spirits and stick to one's original intention.
The more believers there are, the greater the power.
The White Snake Tribe was considered a large tribe, and gave Qiao Xi a small amount of blessing.
Clarence said as much when he came to pick her up personally.
"Of course you don't have to belong to the White Snake Tribe, but when you encounter difficulties, the White Snake Tribe will always have your back."
His attitude seemed very sincere.
Since the White Snake Tribe revered her as a saint, with a status equal to that of the tribe leader, it was natural that they should not only know the importance of the saint to the tribe themselves, but also publicly announce her importance to the tribe.
therefore.
When Qiao Xi had just finished participating in the White Snake Tribe's sacrifice.
She had just returned to the cabin that Clarence had prepared for her and hadn't even rested yet when she turned around and heard a member of the White Snake Tribe reporting to her outside the door.
"Lady Saint, the clan leader has already invited the other two clans and the smaller clans that have submitted to the tribe."
"……invite?"
"Yes, to celebrate your arrival, we also need to announce your identity. Plus, spring is approaching, and hunting territories will need to be redivided for the new year. This is a perfect opportunity to discuss this with the other two clans."
The white snake tribe member outside the door said respectfully.
Perhaps considering Qiao Xi's mood, he thought about it and spoke again.
"Don't worry, you are the saint of our tribe. Even if the Black Wolf and Grey Eagle tribes come, they will still give you face."
The implication is that.
Don't be afraid if someone you don't know comes, just rest assured. This is the territory of the White Snake Tribe, and no one will look down on her as a saint.
Qiao Xi understood the truth.
But...that wasn't what she was worried about.
Clarence took care of everything himself. Qiao Xi was in the cabin flipping through the books Clarence had sent her to relieve her boredom. She could understand the questions on them, as they were words she had seen in the magical world before.
And these books.
It seems that they were all written by great wizards.
After Qiao Xi came here and realized that there was spiritual power, she didn't use magic as frequently. Now when she read these books, she also found some clues when she looked back.
“Fade away…?”
The girl looked at the words with a serious expression and couldn't help but murmur softly.
Her slender, soft fingertips touched the yellowed paper, gently tracing the shallow traces left when the words were written.
This sentence.
It was not written in the Common Tongue, but in the language of Lemuria.
Qiao Xi frowned slightly.
There was a vague feeling of incongruity and familiarity, and he was a little lost in thought as he read the words. When Clarence quietly pushed open the door of the wooden house and came in, he saw Qiao Xi who was distracted.
The girl sat on the edge of the bed.
Her long hair, as pure and flawless as snow, fell gently behind her. Beneath her slightly furrowed brows were a pair of clear and bright almond-shaped eyes.
Inside the wooden house.
The dim light of the candlelight made her slender figure hazy, making her look even softer. Her sleeves were rolled up, revealing a small part of her fair arms. As she read a book, she also had an indescribable intellectual beauty.
In the invisible.
Clarence's pupils contracted slightly, and his heart seemed to be slightly touched.
Saint.
The pure and flawless perfect saint is the most precious gift bestowed by Lord Tengshe to their White Snake Tribe.
"You'll catch a cold."
Clarence walked to her side, took off his long robe, and covered Qiao Xi's delicate shoulders, which were only wearing a thin robe.
He stood behind Qiao Xi.
The man's palm was still in the motion of putting her robe on, resting on her thin shoulders.
From this perspective.
You can vaguely see the girl's fair and tender neck, and the hands on her shoulders, and you can also clearly feel her slender and fragile body under her thin clothes.
Compare them.
Qiao Xi's body was so cold that she had no body temperature at all. Even though Clarence knew that she was special, he still couldn't help but feel curious about this mysterious girl.
For the mystery of the unknown.
In addition to curiosity, what's more natural is the desire to explore.
"I'm not afraid of the cold."
Qiao Xi lowered her eyes and looked at the robe draped over her body. There was a faint, clear scent on it, which was the scent of Clarence.
The robe was only slightly warmer.
It doesn't have that scorching temperature.
"Your body is very cold, is it okay?" Clarence's respectful voice was filled with deep concern.
He seemed very worried about Qiao Xi's physical condition.
The man behind her leaned down slightly and inadvertently moved close to her face. There was no direct contact, but the distance between them was shortened in an instant.
Qiao Xi glanced sideways.
It just happened to meet those narrow peach blossom eyes that were full of worry, and there was undisguised concern on the man's handsome and slightly feminine face.
It's like.
Qiao Xi seemed like a very important person to him.
Such excessive concern.
For a moment, it is hard to tell whether he is sincere or just pretending.
"That's just my physique."
Qiao Xi frowned slightly as she looked at the person next to her, but the other person didn't make any moves to push her any further. So she just stepped aside and put some distance between them.
Clarence captured her subtle little movement.
The scarlet vertical pupils darkened for a moment.
However, this deep scrutiny and contemplation was soon replaced by his usual hypocritical fake smile.
"Then, if you need anything, you can summon me at any time."
The respectful words fell.
Clarence also stood up and distanced himself from her, and the cool scent of his that lingered around the girl also disappeared in an instant.
Clarence left.
The moment the cabin door closed, all traces of smiles vanished from his face, leaving only a deep, dark, coldness in his eyes, like a cold pond. Within them, a madness and obsession that was so intense that it was almost exhilarating began to ignite.
It smells so good.
The smell of 'faith' is too strong.
Just outside the wooden house, he was involuntarily attracted by the breath. The high-purity and rich breath was so tempting.
Make him hungry.
He was eager to eat Qiao Xi whole.
The Saint's aura is so pure and perfect.
This made him greedy and he was eager to absorb all the perfect and pure "faith" aura.
So much time has passed since Clarence lived until now.
I have never seen any exotic beast that can match the aura of the Saint.
The two are simply not on the same level.
Just a brief contact at such a close distance, the rich atmosphere of "faith" almost made him excited to the point of trembling and going crazy!
Clarence covered his face with one hand and laughed softly.
There was a suppressed and restrained chuckle in the low, hoarse, magnetic voice. A light of strong desire flashed across his deep, cold vertical pupils. Feeling the rich breath, he even couldn't help licking his fingertips.
Exposed sharp fangs.
Against his pale, slender hand.
Clarence closed his eyes slightly, intoxicated by the breath. After a long while, he slowly opened them. He suppressed all the crazy excitement in his eyes and waited a little longer. Now was not the time yet.
He has not yet fully gained Qiao Xi's trust.
We still need to wait a little longer.
When the prey begins to let down its guard and relax its vigilance against him.
He will taste the breath of 'faith' himself.
The White Snake Tribe ushered in a quiet night.
On the other side of the Black Wolf Tribe, August received the news sent by the members of the White Snake Tribe, and frowned with a puzzled look on his face.
Saint?
What is that?
Frankly speaking, August wasn't interested in the totems and beliefs worshipped by the White Snake Tribe.
The only thing he cared about.
This is the food that the Black Wolf Tribe should hunt today.
And regarding the invitation sent by the White Snake Tribe.
They wanted him to bring people to witness the ceremony of the White Snake Tribe's enthronement of this Saint, who held the same status as the Tribal Chief. Although August was not interested, he was personally invited by the White Snake Tribe.
To make friends for the sake of the three major tribes.
He will still give you face.
but.
He also felt that Clarence's brain was really kicked by a donkey. He chose a saint for no reason and let her enjoy the same status as the leader.
For Auguste.
This is asking for trouble. If it were him, he would not let anyone divide his status and rights. He would only have the most orthodox inheritance and succession as well as strong enough strength.
Only then can you deserve the respect and recognition of your fellow tribesmen.
He also had no idea what Clarence, that fanatical follower, was thinking.
At least.
Auguste could not understand why the White Snake tribe worshipped the totem.
The Grey Eagle Tribe also received the news.
They had sent people to take turns on duty on land, who were specifically responsible for delivering messages, and the orc the White Snake Tribe was looking for was the orc who was on duty today.
therefore.
When Aldrich received the news from the White Snake Tribe, after listening to the tribe's complete retelling, a dark light flashed across his hawk-like eyes.
I had some vague guesses in my mind.
But it has not been confirmed and is just a possibility.
"Are we going then?"
The tribesman who delivered the message did not wait for the chief to speak, and could not help but look up at Aldridge above him.
"go."
White Snake Tribe.
The Grey Eagle Tribe is their natural enemy. Every time they meet, their auras are incompatible, so they rarely communicate with each other.
but.
On the surface, everyone was one of the three major tribes, so they still had to give each other some respect. And Aldridge had almost gotten used to Clarence's oddball ways.
after all.
The people of the White Snake Tribe can worship a pattern for generations.
Now they have specially created some kind of saint.
Same status as the patriarch.
He even announced it to the world with great fanfare, as if he was afraid that no one would know about it. In Aldridge's opinion, this behavior was nothing short of a fool seeking trouble for himself.
but……
The White Snake Tribe is not a stupid race.
otherwise.
They would not have been able to develop into one of the three major tribes with their natural enemy.
You still have to give face.
Therefore, Aldridge also selected some tribesmen and prepared to go to the White Snake Tribe for a banquet.
They made a big fuss this time.
The small tribes that surrendered to the White Snake Tribe were flattered when they received the notice to attend the banquet.
Different from the small tribes that are subject to the other two major tribes.
Those small tribes all said so.
The members of the White Snake Tribe were very strange and always worshipped the patterns. However, those who submitted to the White Snake Tribe thought that the White Snake Tribe was quite good and that there would be a good harvest every year.
It is said that it is to thank Lord Tengshe for his gift.
They will be rewarded with exotic animal meat.
It is very difficult for these small tribes to hunt exotic beasts on their own, so they are even more grateful after receiving such a reward from the White Snake Tribe.
therefore.
The others who submitted to the two major tribes probably couldn't understand it either.
Why would they be grateful to the strange White Snake Tribe?
Even a little yearning.
When they received the notice to attend the banquet, they were extremely happy. If other small tribes received this notice, they would probably be worried, thinking that the two major tribes were asking them to pay tribute again.
That's why.
Many small tribes that had not yet chosen an object to submit to chose the White Snake Tribe.
therefore.
Although the White Snake Tribe was not the strongest, they had won the hearts of many weaker tribes. Therefore, they were able to hold their position as one of the three largest tribes despite the dislike of the Grey Eagle Tribe and the Black Wolf Tribe.
The members of the small tribe who attended the banquet were very happy.
You can come to the big tribe you long for.
You can also see the important people in person, as well as the protagonist of this banquet, the saint who will be on equal footing with the chief of the White Snake Tribe in the future.
They were very excited.
It was an honor for the White Snake Tribe to allow them to attend, but the small tribes that surrendered to the other two major tribes had never had such an opportunity.
therefore.
People from various small tribes rushed to join in.
After a duel within the clan.
Grabbed this precious spot.
The White Snake Tribe also put on a grand display, serving up all sorts of exotic animal meat. This gesture stunned even the Black Wolf and Grey Eagle tribes who were also present.
This is something that really takes effort.
According to the amount of exotic beast meat for this banquet.
I'm afraid it's enough to cover half a year's worth of food for the tribe. Even a big tribe would feel sad to lose half a year's worth of meat all of a sudden.
However.
The White Snake Tribe didn't feel any sympathy at all, but instead treated them with great care.
The moment you step into here.
Even Aldridge couldn't help but wonder if there was a trap or something strange going on here. The usually cold and wooden White Snake people were actually trying to force a somewhat stiff smile to welcome them.
You know.
The emotions of the members of the White Snake Tribe are only revealed when facing their totem beliefs.
For other tribes.
He usually doesn't show any expression at all and is known to be weird and difficult to approach.
The people of the Grey Eagle tribe saw their smiles.
They all felt a little uneasy and uncomfortable, and even Aldridge's expression became a little strange, especially when he saw Clarence, who was always moody, come out to greet him with a smile.
Such a weird and disjointed feeling.
It becomes more intense.
Did the White Snake Tribe really eat the wrong kind of meat? Are they crazy?
Even as slow as the Black Wolf Tribe.
They could all clearly feel that something was strange here. The people of the White Snake Tribe would welcome them, although they were not as shocked as the people of the Grey Eagle Tribe.
But still let them have one.
It feels like seeing a ferocious beast from ancient times.
It's a little creepy and feels a little weird.
So Clarence ignored the surprised looks of the two big tribesmen and led them to their seats.
It's very lively outside.
Qiao Xi sat on the bed in the room, holding her chin with her hand, and looked out the wooden window.
Clarence had arranged all this himself.
He said.
The people of the White Snake Tribe are very warm and hospitable. Although they are not very good at expressing themselves, they have good intentions.
Qiao Xi was skeptical.
So Clarence confirmed it himself.
Now it seemed that what he said was probably true. The people of the White Snake Tribe were not dissatisfied with the banquet. On the contrary, they were proud that their tribe would announce the Saint Girl to the outside world.
In their opinion.
As they become stronger, they should announce it to the world.
Let everyone know how powerful they are.
So this banquet was very luxurious, even to the point of extravagance.
Qiao Xi watched as well-preserved exotic beasts were dragged out, processed on the spot, and plates of fresh meat were served.
Inexplicable.
It seems like I also feel a little guilty.
She will catch some more exotic beasts for the White Snake Tribe later.
Qiao Xi was sitting there with her chin in her hand, doing nothing, watching Clarence busy outside.
The handsome young man always maintained a decent smile and chatted and laughed with Aldrich, the leader of the Grey Eagle tribe.
I don't know if he noticed her gaze.
Clarence over there.
He was originally talking to Aldridge, but at this moment he turned his head to look in the direction of Qiao Xi.
His gaze passed over the crowd and fell on the girl who was leaning against the window with her chin in her hand.
Qiao Xi was doing nothing in the distance.
As if she hadn't expected him to look at her at this moment, the girl was slightly stunned when their eyes met.
After reacting.
She smiled sweetly, her eyes curved, and playfully waved hello to Clarence. She also gave him a thumbs-up, praising him for his perfect work.
Clarence over there.
When he met Qiao Xi's gentle and smiling gaze, his eyebrows raised involuntarily, and his heartbeat seemed to skip a beat.
Qiao Xi has always been very wary of him.
When treating him.
It was also lukewarm, with no change in attitude.
And now.
The girl leaning against the window had gentle and clear eyes, taking in all the lively scenes.
There was a rare hint of a smile on her face, as if she genuinely enjoyed this lively scene.
Clarence felt a slight warmth in his heart.
He will not regret the decision he made.
But I'm still a little worried, but now, if Qiao Xi likes it, that would be great.
And the sight of the girl over there.
It also shuttles between the small tribesmen coming and going.
She looked at the small tribesmen in the form of half-orcs with curiosity, and her eyes even lingered on the squirrels with big fluffy tails.
People from the small tribe who came here.
They are all happy from the bottom of their hearts.
Looking at them being so lively and happy, Qiao Xi was infected by the atmosphere and naturally felt relaxed and happy.
Those who chose to surrender to the White Snake Tribe.
There are not only squirrels, but even rabbits.
A rabbit tribe in half-orc form.
Straight white or light brown ears pop out from the top of their heads, and they even have small, short, round tails behind them.
There's more to it than that.
Qiao Xi even discovered a small tribe whose original form was alpaca. The arrival of these small tribes made her change her opinion of the White Snake Tribe a lot, and her favorability towards it increased sharply!
So cute.
Woohoo, is this the furry paradise?
She was observing with great interest the small tribes that arrived one by one. Most of those who chose to submit to the White Snake Tribe were small tribes that evolved from docile and less aggressive small herbivores.
And these small tribes people.
Because they rarely eat the meat of exotic animals, they only have the opportunity to taste it when it is distributed by the White Snake Tribe.
so.
They don't absorb as much spiritual energy, so their evolution is naturally not as terrifying.
The average height of male members of the tribe is 1.8 meters.
The females who came here were generally around 1.7 meters tall, considered the weakest and most looked down upon in the Western Continent.
And this height.
For Qiao Xi, that was really a heartwarming feeling, and she felt a sense of belonging all of a sudden.
