Chapter 10 Visitors on the Snow Mountain
The two male orcs were robust and handsome, while the other was a graceful young man with snow-white hair, a smooth and fair face, and sculpted features.
His eyes were expressive and deep, golden, exuding a unique ethereal beauty and handsome charm.
The other one was slightly older, but with handsome features, he was still in his prime.
The crowd stirred again, mostly with gasps of surprise from the female orcs.
"Look, it's a snow owl tribe!"
"Wow, that male is so handsome!"
"I really want him to be my beastly husband!"
"What are they doing here? Are they here to find partners too?"
...
The ceremony paused, and Xia Hua stood awkwardly. The clan chief immediately went to greet her, smiling broadly, and said:
"Oh, it's Brother Haoyi! What brings you here?"
"Rare visitor!"
The two stepped forward, and the clan chief warmly grasped Hao Yi's hand, his face beaming with a smile.
"Hehe, Brother Yin Zhen is still as dashing as ever, still so robust."
Hao Yi also moved closer, vigorously patting the clan leader's back muscles while exchanging polite greetings.
The two were clearly old acquaintances. Indeed, the Silver Moon Wolf Clan and the Snow Owl Clan, the northernmost snow mountain tribe, had been on good terms for generations, and each chieftain was a good brother who had hunted together.
Yin Zhen's gaze unconsciously drifted towards the stunningly beautiful Hao Bai, his expression complex.
"Is this your nephew Haobai? He must have just come of age! Not bad, not bad! He's grown so much."
"Chief Yin, I send my father's greetings to you!"
"Grandma Jiang, my father asked me to give you his regards!"
Hao Bai clasped his hands and bowed, then turned to bow again to greet the witch doctor Jiang Jin, appearing humble and polite.
Jiang Jin smiled and nodded without speaking. Yin Zhen smiled and continued, "..."
"Alright, alright, let Brother Haoran come down the mountain for a visit sometime. It's been a long time since we old buddies have gotten together."
Hao Bai nodded, and Hao Yi, who was beside him, spoke up, revealing the purpose of their trip.
"Brother Yinzhen, look, Haobai is my eldest brother's youngest son, and he's reached the age to get married."
He doesn't fancy any of the females in his tribe; he insists on coming to your tribe to find a mate.
"My elder brother couldn't refuse, so he asked me to bring you down the mountain to ask for your help."
Hao Yi felt a little awkward and forced a smile. He didn't quite agree with Hao Bai's choice either.
However, no females in the Snowy Owl tribe have become pregnant in the past two years, leaving everyone anxious.
"This is wonderful news! Our Silver Moon Tribe is extremely grateful for Nephew Haobai's formidable talent at the fourth-tier purple level!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely help him choose the most fertile female, and she will definitely get pregnant and give birth within a year!"
Yin Zhen was beaming from ear to ear. Although he had guessed the purpose of their trip, he was overjoyed at the thought of Haoyue's talent and good looks.
"That's good, that's good!"
Hao Yi smiled obsequiously, and the two complimented each other. Hao Bai also had a big smile on his face, but his eyes unconsciously drifted towards Mu Yunyun.
His gaze swept over her, and he saw that her skin was like jade, her eyes were like water, her lips were slightly parted, and her figure was elegant and graceful. Her beauty made him lose his composure for a moment and almost forget to breathe.
Finally, his gaze fell downwards to Mu Yunyun's calves, which were covered by white animal hide, and he was both surprised and delighted.
Snowy owls have excellent eyesight, as they say.
Hao Bai's handsome appearance also caught Mu Yunyun's attention. He was indeed a handsome man, on par with her family's Wolf Fang, and his talent was as high as the fourth-level purple.
She really liked her looks and figure; it's no wonder that everyone loves beauty.
The thought of having a fluffy, snow-white, big clumsy bird to pet and to fly in the air as a mount filled her with uncontrollable excitement.
Wolf Fang also noticed her unusual behavior and, following her gaze, discovered that his Yunyun was staring at another male.
His brow furrowed slightly as a tremendous sense of crisis rose within him, and a tingling, numb feeling made him very uncomfortable.
Before Mu Yunyun could speak, the duck started broadcasting the message in a very sensible way.
[Friendly reminder: The snow owl beastman in front is very suitable for mating; it has strong talents and excellent genes. The host may consider acquiring it.]
Speechless, utterly speechless!
She launched into a string of witty remarks at the mallard.
"My goodness, you think you can just take him down like that? What am I supposed to do with him? I was just looking around, what bad intentions could I possibly have?"
"Besides, I'm an outsider female. Just by looking at this male, I can tell he's not simple. Look at how enthusiastic the chieftain is."
"Look at Xia Hua on the stage and Zhen Mei off the stage. Their eyes are fixed on each other, as if they can't wait to snatch each other away and have their wedding night together."
"My face is covered in dark spots, I'm skinny, and I don't even know how fertile I am! What do I have to offer to compete?"
[This duck doesn't know either, but don't be discouraged, host. You're naturally blessed with good luck, you'll definitely succeed. This duck will take its leave now, good luck!]
Mu Yunyun's face turned ashen. She was certain that the damn system was just messing with her, deliberately misleading her without giving her any special advantages!
If she had known she was pregnant last night, at least she would have had an advantage in the fertility test. But alas, she could only leave it to fate!
After some discussion, the clan chief and the shaman continued to preside over the coming-of-age ceremony, while Hao Bai and the other stood aside and watched.
...
"Summer flowers, moderate fertility!"
Jiang Tong loudly announced her fertility grade, and Xia Hua looked dissatisfied. Clearly, she wanted the highest grade, or even the best grade.
When it was Lan Ruo's turn to be tested, she was quite calm and could accept any amount.
"Lan Ruo, superior fertility!"
Jiang Tong was a little excited and shouted even louder, smiling at Jiang Jin.
Lan Ruo herself was also very surprised. The Beast God had blessed her, and she actually had superior fertility.
The crowd gasped in surprise. The last time someone tested positive for superior fertility was last year when Zhen Mei had over 40 beastmen seeking her out as mates, of whom she only selected about 30.
Lan Ruo will receive the same treatment this year.
Hao Yi nudged Hao Bai with his elbow and said happily:
"So, what do you think? This female has excellent fertility and is quite pretty. Do you like her?"
Hao Bai remained expressionless, his gaze fixed on Mu Yunyun, and said calmly:
"Second Uncle, let's take another look."
"All right!"
Lan Ruo stepped off the testing platform, beaming with joy, while Xia Hua beside her was consumed by jealousy, her face practically screaming, "Why is she the one who got the top grade, and not me?"
...
After that, two more people were found to have moderate fertility and three people to have low fertility. Soon it was Mu Yunyun's turn.
Suddenly, the entire venue fell into an eerie silence, everyone staring intently, waiting quietly for the result.
Mu Yunyun gently placed her hand on the sacred stone. A flash of white light appeared, and the witch doctor frowned slightly. She had an answer in her heart and whispered it to Jiang Tong beside her.
Upon hearing the answer, Jiang Tong was also taken aback, her face showing difficulty, and she said loudly:
"Mu Yunyun, inferior fertility!"
Like a bolt from the blue, Mu Yunyun felt a sudden darkness before her eyes and almost lost her balance, but Jiang Tong kindly pulled her up.
Oh no! They really have inferior fertility!
She had no intention of having any fertility, after all, she had the cheat code of having a child-giving pill, but now, heaven knows how she will trick her beautiful beast husband into coming to her.
Wolf Fang rushed to her as fast as he could, gently hugged her, and showed her that she was alright.
An uproar erupted in the audience, with everyone exchanging bewildered glances and engaging in heated discussion.
Hao Bai was also a little puzzled, wondering to himself, how could the female chosen by the Beast God have inferior fertility?
Zhen Mei screamed almost maniacally, pointing at Mu Yunyun and saying:
"Hahahaha, I knew she was inferior. Wolf Fang, how about that? You chose the wrong one!"
Wolf Fang looked at her speechlessly and said indifferently:
"Regardless of Yunyun's fertility, I have no regrets about choosing her! Even if we have no children, I will have no regrets!"
As he spoke, Wolf Fang gazed at his little female with deep affection.
Zhen Mei was so angry that her athlete's foot was about to flare up. She frantically pounded on the chest of the beastly man next to her. The beastly man was afraid of her tyranny and dared not resist.
"Yes, Wolf Fang has such strong talent, yet he gave up his superior fertility and chose inferior fertility instead!"
"But Mu Yunyun is so gentle and beautiful. Even if she has low fertility, I still want to be her beast husband."
"Wolf Fang is so devoted and brave, even in this situation he's still protecting the female!"
...
The huge square was bustling with people talking all sorts of things, except for Zhen Mei, whose face was ashen, and the clan leader, whose face was also long.
I thought it should at least have moderate fertility, so as not to waste Wolf Fang's talent, but now it seems that I was wrong.
The witch doctor waved his hands and spoke, and the crowd instantly fell silent.
"Regardless of a female's fertility, she is a noble female and no one is allowed to make unwarranted comments!"
"Anyone who makes any more inappropriate remarks will be punished according to clan rules!"
The witch doctor was highly respected, even more so than the clan chief, and from then on, no one dared to speak of him again.
The ceremony continued, and the male beastmen began to line up. The females who had been tested were lined up, and the unmarried males chose one, and then the females made the selection.
Mu Yunyun wanted to leave immediately, but the clan chief and the witch doctor both dissuaded her, telling her to at least complete the procedures.
Helpless, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue.
Suddenly looking up, her eyes met Hao Bai's burning gaze and a captivating smile.
What?! Could there be a chance?
