The speaking sub-beastmen was quickly nudged in the arm by someone beside him and immediately stopped mid-sentence.
Realizing he had misspoken, he became somewhat awkward and embarrassed.
“Ahem, we always thought Tiye was interested in you.
A few days ago you said you wanted to eat Braicow’s meat, and the next day Tiye went out hunting…”
Aruya was recognized in the tribe as the most beautiful sub-beastmen besides Ouri.
With his figure and early maturity period, which represented strong reproductive ability, his actual popularity was no less than Ouri’s.
Tiye had never expressed affection toward any sub-beastmen, including Ouri.
Instead, Aruya had maintained some level of contact with him, and there were even rumors that he was pursuing Tiye.
However, now it seemed that they had all been mistaken.
When Tiye came over earlier, he had not even spared Aruya a single glance.
Many sub-beastmen felt secretly regretful, while also unable to suppress a bit of quiet amusement in their hearts.
Aruyahad always been arrogant, relying on his youth, beauty, and strong reproductive ability.
He often tried to seduce powerful beastmen who already had their hearts set on someone else.
He was extremely annoying to many of them.
Aruya who is unaware that the sub-beastmen who were speaking politely to him were actually criticizing him in their hearts snorted coldly.
“That sub-beastmen?
Tiye would like him?
That sub-beastmen is so dark, so thin, so small.
At first glance he is clearly malnourished and underdeveloped.
He still wants to compare with me?
I’m afraid he probably can’t even bear a single cub!”
He was probably just some abandoned sub-beastmen that Tiye casually picked up from outside the tribe.
An abandoned sub-beastmen still wants to compare with him?
What a joke!
The other sub-beastmen, upon hearing this, all felt that it made sense.
A newly arrived sub-beastmen who was dark and thin in the tribe was looked down upon by the other sub-beastmen, and instead, they even carried some hostility toward him.
On the other hand, the beastmen’ attitude was clearly much more friendly.
The more sub-beastmen the tribe had, the greater their chances of no longer remaining single!
The new arrivals of sub-beastman always attracted attention first.
The news somehow spread quickly.
In just a short time, all the beastmen in the tribe already knew about Si Bai’s existence.
“Shaman Tilo, I need to take some medicinal ointment!
The best kind!
The very best kind!”
Tiye immediately transformed into his tiger form and carried Si Bai as he rushed forward in a straight line, heading directly to the largest earthen wooden house at the foot of the mountain.
The originally quiet shaman’s house was instantly disrupted by loud shouting that completely changed the atmosphere.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
“Open the door quickly!”
From inside, a mature and steady brown-haired beastmen walked out.
He rubbed his temples, looking extremely helpless.
“What is it?
What’s going on?”
It really felt like Si Bai had become more and more unruly lately.
What was all this noise early in the morning?
“My little sub-beastmen is injured.
Although the wound has already scabbed over, it might still leave a scar.
I came here to get some ointment to apply for him.”
“Oh?
I see.”
Upon hearing that a sub-beastmen was injured, Tilo immediately became serious.
His temper disappeared in an instant.
Seeing that this brat Tiye was holding an unfamiliar foreign sub-beastmen in his arms, Tilo, as someone experienced, could already guess seven or eight parts of the situation.
This little sub-beastmen was dark and small, clearly from a poor and weak tribe, probably someone who had been malnourished since childhood.
Truly a pitiful child.
“Good timing.
I just happen to have some ointment provided by Lord Bayar.
It was originally meant for the hunting team.
I can give you some.”
The moment the words “Lord Bayar” were heard, Tiye’s expression immediately turned respectful.
It was a deep, instinctive reverence, admiration, and trust.
Without hesitation, Tiye exchanged a few beast coin for a portion of ointment and carefully applied it all over Si Bai’s wounds.
“Baibai, I will take you to meet our tribe leader.
If you want to join the tribe, there are still many procedures to complete.
Come up!
I will take you there!”
Tiye was extremely enthusiastic, while Si Bai was completely stunned.
Seeing that the little sub-beastmen was moving too slowly, he simply transformed into his tiger form.
His tail swept around, accurately wrapping around Si Bai’s waist and lifting him gently.
With great excitement, he carried him and sprinted at high speed toward the largest and most imposing stone house in the center of the tribe.
Inside the stone house was where the tribe leader lived.
The space was quite large, but at a glance there was only a bed, a large wooden table, and several large beast hides hanging on the walls, fixed with beast bones.
The tribe leader looked very friendly and welcoming.
“Welcome to the Badarian Tribe.
There are currently no vacant rooms in the tribe.
Of course, if you are willing, you can stay together with other sub-beastmen…”
Before he could finish the sentence about “living together in the communal courtyard house,” he suddenly felt an extremely strong gaze.
Looking up, he saw Tiye standing behind the little sub-beastmen, making frantic eye signals until his face was almost twitching.
The two beastmen instantly understood each other without words.
The tribe leader gave a knowing smile and coughed lightly, quickly changing his words without any disturbance.
“There are no vacant rooms in the tribe at the moment.
However, Tiye’s house is quite large.
If you are willing, you can temporarily stay with him…”
Tiye’s eyes lit up instantly.
“I agree!”
Si Bai: “…”
The tribe leader briefly explained some matters about the tribe to Si Bai.
At the end, he emphasized one thing repeatedly.
“Two days later, on the tribe’s Moon Rite Ceremony, you and the other newly arrived beastmen must go to Lord Bayar for bloodline registration!
You must not forget!”
