Chapter 75 High-Class Females
Chapter 75 High-Class Females
Because the mate mark is colorless, it's impossible to tell whether it's a white tiger or a black-striped yellow tiger. However, the stripes on the white mate mark are much lighter in color. Both tigers look very fierce, and the snake-like creature sandwiched between them looks a bit comical.
Lin Ni was dressed and about to go out when she looked up and saw an ancient character "six" flash across Yao's forehead. She was stunned: "Yao, you've leveled up again!?"
Yao nodded: "Yes, because Lin and Bai became high-level females after they became partners, I also leveled up."
"I'm a high-level female now?" Lin Ni thought to herself, "The Tiger Beast Tribe only has one high-level female, Yi. Am I a little too powerful?"
Bai and Ye appeared outside the room: "That's right, Lin is really amazing! You're the second high-ranking female in the tribe!"
Linni asked uncertainly, "Then, will others be able to tell?" In the past, as a mid-level female, many single beastmen had appeared around her, and she was afraid that if everyone found out, the consequences would be unimaginable.
They exchanged glances; clearly, any advanced human (levels seven, eight, or nine) could tell.
Then Bai said, "So what if you can tell? It's okay. I'm level eight now. With me and Feng here, low-level single beastmen won't dare to come over. They're not good enough for you and won't bother. At most, only a few level six or seven single beastmen will dare to come and provoke us. Feng can just beat them up then."
Linni glanced at him: "Is it okay?"
Bai said matter-of-factly, "Of course I can. If he won't fight, I will! There are only ten level-eight orcs in the Tiger Beast Tribe. They won't dare to mess with me."
Lin Ni nodded: Strength makes you tough!
Night said, "Let's go, or we'll really be late."
Yao smiled and said to them, "You two go with Lin. I leveled up twice in one day, so to avoid any misunderstandings, I won't go."
Lin Ni and the other two looked at him and agreed, so they nodded and set off. On the way, she thought to herself: "My partners are pretty powerful now: level six Yao, level seven Ye, level eight Bai, and level nine Feng. I shouldn't be afraid anymore, right?"
Bai had already been intimate with Lin Ni that afternoon, so he generously let Ye carry Lin Ni down the mountain.
As Ye walked, she asked, "Lin, can you see our levels?"
Lin Ni nodded and said, "Yes! You'll see it after you pray under the stone tablet for the first time."
Ye looked down at her and praised, "Lin, you are really amazing. I have never heard of a female being able to see the level of a male! Moreover, we males can only see each other if we are of the same level or lower. If the level is higher, we can't tell. We can only guess by feeling."
Linni: "Can't I? But when I was an intermediate female, I could see your levels. It would appear whenever I wanted to see it. You have the number seven written on your forehead."
Ye asked hesitantly, "Is that symbol representing level seven a character?"
Linni nodded affirmatively: "Symbols." Linni then remembered that the Beastman Continent had no written language. "The symbols you're talking about are, in my opinion, characters. The white ones have an 'eight' written on their heads. The females have 'three' and 'six' on their heads. The characters on the heads of the high-level females and Feng are the same, both being 'nine'."
Bai said, "So these symbols are characters."
As the three talked, they quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain, where they saw a tiger-beastman waiting for them by the roadside. He said that Feng had asked him to lead them to a spot. Ye followed him to a campfire and sat down. This time, their spot wasn't closest to the Tiger Gate, but rather on the second circumference.
The three of them had just sat down when Feng came over. He smiled at Lin Ni and said, "The party is about to start. I'll play the drums and then come over to sit with you."
Linni nodded: "Okay."
Feng nodded to Ye and Bai again, then turned and left. Lin Ni watched him ascend to the top of the stone corridor, not standing in the spot where he had played the drum last time, but instead in front of the largest drum in the very center. He then began to play the drum, his earnest and powerful demeanor truly captivating.
As usual, after a five-minute-long, rousing drumbeat that got the blood pumping, the entire square fell silent. Yang Chulai stood beneath the Tiger Gate, his loud and impassioned voice echoing throughout the square: "Have all the Tiger Beast Tribe members arrived?"
All the tribespeople present let out a wild, beast-like roar: "Here—!"
Yang continued, "Today is the fourth bonfire party of autumn. The busy trade fair is over. Now let's bring back the fattest prey from the towering mountains! Let's hunt even more prey in this bountiful autumn! Let's fatten up well during the cold winter so that we can have more cubs next spring. Let's work together for the growth of our tribe!"
All the orcs present roared again.
Yang raised his hands high and shouted, "Beast God, protect me! Beast God, protect me!"
The members of the Tiger Beast Tribe stood up and shouted, "Beast God, protect us! Beast God, protect us!"
Feng and the other eight men started drumming again. The deep, rhythmic drumbeats resounded once more, and everyone held hands, singing mysterious songs as they danced around the campfire. Lin Ni and the other two joined in, spinning and dancing to the drumbeats.
The entire bonfire party was just as lively and full of primitive tribal charm as when Linni first attended. After Feng finished dancing the blessing dance, he came over to eat barbecue with Linni. Since Ye and Bai were already sitting on either side of Linni, Feng sat next to Ye.
Feng, who rarely saw Yao and Lin Ni together, asked curiously, "Why didn't Yao come to the bonfire party?"
Linni knew that orcs had excellent hearing, so she didn't want to reveal the real reason in front of so many people. Instead, she said, "He said he was a little tired from hunting today, so he's resting at home."
Feng: When did he go hunting today? Knowing there must be another reason, he stopped asking and started tearing the roasted meat for Linni.
There were no newly adult females this time, nor any new females joining the tiger beast tribe. However, after everyone had eaten their fill, they proceeded with the beast fighting. During the fight, two groups of males came together to court Lin Ni, and Feng directly stated, "Lin only considers single beastmen of level seven or above."
One of the males said, "Feng, as one of the leaders of the tribe, you can't keep the female here and prevent her from finding a mate."
Feng gave him a cold look: "Did I say no?" He pointed to Bai, who was already level eight, next to him: "Isn't this the partner she found later? Didn't you see that Yan, who was level six, didn't even mate with her? If you want to find an excellent female, you have to improve yourself first!" Feng glanced at the orcs who were secretly watching around him and raised his voice slightly: "Don't go near Lin if you're not level seven. If she's unhappy, I'll make sure you go hungry all winter!"
