Chapter 115 So what if we go mining?

Why do the men in her family kneel down all the time?

Nan Zhisui also became anxious, "How can this be your fault? They deserved to die. We were just defending ourselves. If I hadn't fought back in that situation, I would have been too much of a coward."

Fox White shook his head. "If I were the one who did it, the City of Ten Thousand Beasts would only come to me, not you. It's because of my incompetence that you were implicated."

The male orcs present roughly understood what had happened in Stone Village earlier.

Xuan Jin leaned lazily against the stone wall and said, "If others bully you and Hu Qi and the female master doesn't stand up for you, you should be crying."

Lanxing said, "Brother Fox White, no one is at fault in this matter."

Nan Zhisui asked, "I buried the scene and the body... How did the City of Ten Thousand Beasts find out?"

Lanxing explained, "Sister, I heard that hundreds of years ago, the Beast God gifted the High Priest a sacred white deer. This sacred deer is skilled at tracking and can replicate a certain degree of the past. Whenever a female dies, the priests of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts will take the sacred deer to search for the truth. Moreover..."

Lanxing's voice grew softer and softer, "The Holy Deer is very good at tracking. Once it locks onto someone, that person can't escape."

Nan Zhisui said, "So, it's no use me running away? They'll catch me no matter what, right?"

“It’s not that bad,” Xuan Jin said calmly and deliberately. “In this world, a male killing a female is a capital offense. But it’s different for females; the punishment isn’t as severe.”

Nan Zhisui asked, "What is the High Priest's level of power?"

"It is said that he is already the Nine-Striped Beast King."

Nan Zhisui heard of the village chief with nine stripes for the first time. "A nine-striped beast king? There are still nine-striped beastmen in this world?"

Fox White explained, "Yes, awakened beastmen can cultivate. One to three stripes make them beast warriors, four to six stripes make them beast generals, seven or eight stripes make them beast kings, and nine stripes make them beast emperors."

Lan Xing also said, "I've also heard the elders of the Merfolk mention it. The High Priest of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts is not an ordinary beastman, but the First High Priest under the Beast God."

Fox White frowned and said, "If he really comes to the East and suppresses the East, that would be terrible."

In the five eastern regions, the strongest fighting force consists entirely of seven-striped beast kings; there are no nine-striped beasts. Moreover, the number of seven-striped beast kings is not large.

If the powerful Beast City were to suppress them, the orcs in the east would suffer a great blow.

Fox White said, "It was my fault to begin with. I will go to the City of Ten Thousand Beasts to take full responsibility."

Nan Zhisui said, "Hu Xin and Hu Zi, those two females, bullied you and Hu Qi like that. What's wrong with me killing them? I don't believe that the City of Ten Thousand Beasts is so unreasonable!"

Fox White looked at Nan Zhisui with a complicated expression.

She was clearly a female, yet she seemed to know little about the privileges she possessed.

Fox White explained, "In this world, females can harm males at will, and the most they'll be punished with is having some of the tribe's resources withheld. But conversely, females cannot be killed at will. If a female is harmed, the male will be severely punished."

Nan Zhisui asked in shock and confusion, "So, even if females bully you, you can't fight back?"

Lan Xing said, "A certain degree of retaliation is acceptable, but it will come at a considerable cost. However, killing a female is absolutely unacceptable."

Xuan Jin said, "Females are rare in this world; each birth is extremely difficult. Because of this, whenever a female is born, the priests of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts will go there according to the guidance of the Beast God. They will give the female a fruit to eat. After she eats the fruit, the high priest can check her survival status."

"If a female dies, a priest will come immediately to investigate the cause of death. If it is a natural death, that's fine. If it is an accidental death, it will definitely be investigated."

Xuan Jin said slowly and deliberately, "The sacred deer of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts is very powerful. Every time, it can find out the cause of death of the females."

In this world, no matter how many evil deeds a female has committed, she cannot be killed. Otherwise, it's a capital offense.

Nan Zhisui was so shocked that she fell silent.

In a world where population imbalance occurs, it's understandable that the less populated side would be protected.

But is it really appropriate to grant so many privileges?

This is no longer a simple matter of female superiority and male inferiority.

"Won't the orcs rebel?"

Xuan Jin looked into her beautiful eyes and explained, "It was because the High Priest wielded absolute power and established many unreasonable rules. Countless males were punished for trying to protect themselves and were sent to the wasteland to mine and be tortured. Gradually, a special group called the Rebel Army secretly formed in this world to resist the High Priest."

"Rebel army?"

Xuan Jin didn't want to spread the topic, so he rested his head on his hand, looking at Nan Zhisui and then at Hu Bai.

If we were to kill Fox White directly, we could eliminate one competitor, but the little female would probably suffer for a long time.

so troublesome.

Xuan Jin said, "Actually, the current situation isn't too bad. After all, the punishment for females in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts isn't too severe. The little females can just bear the punishment."

Lan Xing suddenly said, "You're making my sister take the blame herself?! No way!"

Fox White also said sternly, "No way!"

Xuan Jin raised an eyebrow: "Why not? Do you really intend to let Hu Bai die?"

Fox White argued, "It was my fault to begin with, how can I let the female master take the blame? I'd rather die!"

Xuan Jin smiled mockingly: "You think I don't want you to die?"

Lan Xing said, "We absolutely cannot let my sister be punished by the City of Ten Thousand Beasts!"

"Ah."

Xuan Jin said, "Anyway, at worst I'll just be mining in the eastern wasteland. It's not a big deal."

Fox White and Lan Xing looked at Xuan Jin, who withdrew his hands. "Why are you looking at me? Haven't you ever mined before?"

Fox White asked, "Have you been there?"

Xuan Jin placed his hands behind his head as a pillow.

What's so strange about a cold-blooded serpent beastman occasionally wandering around the eastern wasteland?

“The little female is too weak. She might be able to escape from a beast warrior, but she’ll have a hard time against a beast general. Not to mention, there are many beast kings in other places outside the east. Are you really planning to pamper her forever? It wouldn’t hurt for her to take on some responsibility for the family occasionally.”

Fox White and Lan Xing fell silent.

Nan Zhisui sensed something was wrong and still wanted to struggle a bit more.

"Can't you protect me?"

The three males in the cave all looked at her. They nodded and then shook their heads.

Seeing that Hu Bai was still kneeling, Nan Zhisui quickly helped him stand up.

Fox White then explained, "When we're around, we will indeed do everything in our power, even risk our lives, to protect you. But there are always unexpected things that can happen."

"Yes, sister, the beast world is dangerous, both on land and underwater. You definitely need to have the ability to protect yourself."

Nan Zhisui: "..."

It's over. Even Hu Bai and Lan Xing have been persuaded by Xuan Jin! Looks like the physical torture is definitely in store!
Xuan Jin glanced at her terrified expression, a smile creeping onto his face.

It's quite interesting how the little female is so lazy yet has to find a way to become stronger.

"Then it's decided. No matter how things develop next, we'll focus on intensive training for the little females for now."

Nan Zhisui asked tragically, "Ah?"

“The people from Beast City won’t arrive so quickly. I’ll let you go today; you can rest now.” Xuan Jin hissed at Nan Zhisui. “Hu Bai and Lan Xing are too soft-hearted; they’re not suitable to train you. You’ll start training with me tomorrow.”

Nan Zhisui immediately lost her temper and went berserk!
"Fox White!! Lanxing!!!" She reached out her hands to them. "I don't want to, please help me..."
