Chapter 41 The Only Level 8 Single Beastman in the Towering Mountains
Mei shook her head and said, "The food collected by the tribal hunting team is handed over to the tribe. We only organize all the tribe members to share the food every ten days, which is also a tribe-wide activity. The rest of the time, we hunt on our own, but everyone likes to form hunting teams of about ten men to hunt together. The women go to the Beast God Stele together every five days to pray for blessings, try to communicate with the Beast God, and pray for the Beast God's blessing. After that, the tribe will distribute salt, which is necessary for life. The rest of the time is very free."
Linni and Ye exchanged a glance. This was fine; they lived their own lives, occasionally getting together to chat—it was an ideal lifestyle. However, regarding the matter of choosing two male companions, Linni hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is there a timeframe for selecting two male companions from the tribe?"
Mei said, "I hope you can make a choice before winter. The day after tomorrow, you will come with us to pray at the Beast God Stele. In the evening, our tribe will hold a bonfire party, and there will be a beast fighting performance by the single men in the tribe. You should keep an eye out for it."
Linni nodded: "Thank you, beautiful!" As expected of the most powerful tribe in the towering mountains, the activities are truly plentiful!
Mei smiled at Linni, then patted Linni's hand: "What I did just now was what I need to do as the partner of the chief of the tiger beast tribe. Now I want to say a few words from my heart to you as the mother of Da Bai and Er Bai."
Linni suddenly tensed up, sitting up straight and looking at her. Seeing her expression, Mei smiled kindly, "Lin, don't be nervous." She glanced at the two white tigers that had been standing by her side before saying to Linni, "These are my two youngest cubs. They were exceptionally strong from birth, and we had high hopes for them from a young age. But we never expected that someone stronger than any other male beast would be stuck at this stage. They are the only two white tigers in these towering mountains, so there have been some negative rumors about them in the tribe. Their departure worried me for a long time. Now that they are willing to follow you, it's good. I don't intend for you to mate with them; I just hope you can let them continue to follow you, just as two obedient wild animals." As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
This was the first time Linni had ever seen someone from the Beastman Continent cry. This was a mother filled with love for her child, but Linni didn't know how to comfort her. She could only hold Linni's hand in return and say, "Don't worry, they saved me. I won't abandon them."
Mei wiped away her tears: "That's good. I'm relieved. Thank you, Beast God, for your protection! Lin, they are really well-behaved and sensible." The two white tigers rubbed their heads against their mother's arms and legs, looking incredibly docile.
Lin Ni couldn't help but reach out and ruffle their hair: "Both Atractylodes macrocephala and Bletilla striata are actually very powerful!"
"Atractylodes macrocephala and Bletilla striata?" Mei asked, looking up.
Lin Ni gave an awkward smile: "I meant Da Bai and Er Bai. I didn't know they had names before. I just made them up. Don't mind."
Mei chuckled and patted Lin Ni's hand, then went to rub the two white tigers: "Bai Shu and Bai Ji, these names are much better than the Da Bai and Er Bai names I came up with! Let's call them Bai Shu and Bai Ji! By the way, who is Bai Shu?"
Bai Shu raised his head and barked twice. Mei reached out and patted his head: "So you're Bai Shu!" She teased the two white tigers for a while, then looked up at Lin Ni and said: "You've already chosen Yan, you just need to choose another partner."
Linni glanced at Li, who had remained silent, fearing she might express disapproval. Actually, Linni had a pretty good impression of Yan. He resembled those studious students she knew in high school—serious, a little shy, and always by her side, eager to help with anything. Although she had a good impression, it was far from being the point of being lovers. That's why she hadn't agreed to become Yan's partner before, but if she had to choose, he would definitely be her first choice. But was it really a choice?
Li didn't look at them, but instead whispered something to Yan. It was unclear whether she heard her or not, or whether she agreed to be with Yan and her child.
Mei continued, "My first child, the tiger-beastman Feng, is the only level eight single male in the entire Chongshan Mountains. He will definitely be the most powerful beastman in the future. If you don't have any other male beastmen you like, then let him be your partner."
Lin Ni had heard of Feng, the only level-eight single male in the entire mountain range, for the second time today. She never expected to encounter someone trying to sell their son in the beastman world, especially one with such a prestigious reputation. She said directly, "He's so powerful, he probably wouldn't be interested in me, right?"
The man with the oval face and phoenix eyes who had been standing behind the beauty suddenly said, "I like him."
"Huh?" Lin Ni looked up at him, puzzled. He was still staring at her with those beautiful almond-shaped eyes. He smiled at her, revealing a row of neat, white teeth, and then lowered his eyes a little shyly. Lin Ni actually saw a blush on his handsome, wheat-colored face.
Mei smiled and said to Lin Ni, "My son has really high standards. Over the years, many women have liked him, but he ignored them all. I was just thinking of bringing him to meet you today, and I didn't expect that he would finally find someone he likes!"
Lin Ni was a little bewildered, unsure how to answer. Although she felt she already had enough men, she was still curious about this legendary genius. Then, belatedly, she looked up at the handsome man who was blushing and asked, "You're Feng?"
The handsome man with an oval face and phoenix eyes nodded: "Yes, it's a pleasure to meet you, Lin."
Lin Ni immediately felt embarrassed: "Hello, Feng!"
Li suddenly said from the side, "Alright, it's getting late. Since you've decided to join the Tiger Beast Tribe, let Yan take you to choose a place to stay. Yan's shabby cave is small and high up, and it's not convenient to live in."
Linni glanced at her, feeling a little afraid of her future mother-in-law.
Li said to Yan, "Once you've chosen a location, tell Rui so they can help you dig the cave as soon as possible to prepare winter supplies."
Yan nodded happily: "Okay, Mother. I'll tell you as soon as possible."
Li said disdainfully, "You don't need to tell me. I won't help you dig a cave. Just tell your father."
So that means he wants his father to help him dig? Lin Ni suddenly found this Li kind of cute.
After saying goodbye to Mei and Li, Linni sat on Yan's back to observe the territory of the tiger beast tribe and look for a suitable place to live, while Yao and the others went hunting with Feng.
