The bean sprouts in the beastly world are trying to steal the beastly husband again!

After hearing this explanation, Nan Yue lost her curiosity.

No matter how high the status and how capable this priest is among other orcs, in her eyes she is just a charlatan when it comes to such metaphysical things.

Naturally, it couldn't arouse her extra interest.

Xuanwei led her slowly to the gate of White Lion City and said:

"Blue Ringed Orc Xuanwei, bring the females here to spend the cold season."

The white-haired priest narrowed his eyes and stared at Nan Yue on his arm for a long time without saying anything.

"Xuanwei, could it be that this priest doesn't want us to live in White Lion City?" Nanyue asked in a low voice in Xuanwei's ear.

"It's okay. If White Lion City doesn't work, I'll take you to another orc city. Don't worry."

Xuanwei's mouth corners slowly raised, giving her a reassuring expression.

Nan Yue opened her mouth and wanted to say that if it didn't work, she could just stay nearby and wait for Hu Ke and the others, but she swallowed the words back.

Now is not the time to talk about this.

"Was this female kidnapped?" the priest asked, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Nan Yue naturally saw it as well, and quickly hooked her arms around Xuan Wei's neck.

"No! I stole him! He's my mate!"

After these words were spoken, Xuanwei pursed his lips and the corners of his mouth slowly rose, but the guards of White Lion City were shocked and whispered.

"Did you hear me right? Females choose stray orcs?"

"Even a weak and infertile female would not choose a stray orc. This female must be threatened!"

"Of course! You can see there's a fox mark on her neck, but there's almost no fox scent on her. She must have been taken away by a stray beast!"

......

The voices of discussion reached Nan Yue's ears, and she wanted to refute it, but when she thought about it carefully, it seemed that she was indeed abducted by Xuanwei.

This... is so embarrassing!

"She doesn't have your beast mark on her." The priest's eyes sank slightly. He felt that Xuanwei had snatched more than one female!

Otherwise, why doesn’t Nan Yue have his beast mark on her body!

"We haven't become a couple yet." Xuanwei said lightly, "But it will be soon."

The priest pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "You can only live in the outer city of White Lion City. Sorry, there is no mark of the beast, and we in White Lion City do not want to take this risk."

"Once you have the mark of the beast, you can come to me again. I will arrange a house for the female in the inner city."

Nan Yue was completely confused. What's the difference between the outer city and the inner city? There are so many rules.

However, she was tactful enough not to say anything and waited for Xuanwei's decision. After all, as a stray animal, he knew more about the world than she did.

"Thank you. I will deliver the food and hides on time. I hope White Lion City can also take care of my partner during the rainy and cold seasons."

Xuanwei nodded.

The priest said nothing more, but waved his hand to signal Xuanwei to follow.

"Xuanwei, what do the outer city and the inner city mean?"

Nan Yue hugged Xuan Wei's neck, looked around and asked.

The wall of White Lion City is completely different from the tribe’s wall which is only two meters high.

The wall of White Lion City is ten meters high. Every stone is square and looks very solid. After entering the city, there are no caves or the like. There are only rows of bamboo houses standing neatly.

The male orcs also looked towards Nan Yue, but after seeing Xuan Wei, they quickly turned their heads away, their faces turning a little pale.

Xuanwei threw the little beast onto his shoulder, then touched Nanyue's cheek with one hand.

"I'm sorry to have wronged you. The outer city is usually where outsiders and single males live. It is also the first line of defense for the entire city. The inner city is where females and cubs live."

To put it simply, it's the same as the female fox tribe living in caves and the single males living in bamboo houses.

It's just on a larger scale.

Nan Yue shook her head: "I don't feel wronged. With such a high wall, there won't be any danger."

At this moment, the priest looked at Xuanwei and said meaningfully: "Stray Beast, do you know how much pressure your existence will put on your partner?"

"I know." Xuanwei replied.

The priest shook his head and said nothing more. After all, it was already difficult for a stray orc to treat a female well, and the group could not be forced into a desperate situation.

Nan Yue frowned, somewhat displeased.

Why are these two people playing charades? There's nothing they can't talk about openly.

Soon, the priest brought the two to a bamboo building near the lake.

"Here, it's quieter and closer to the water source." The priest said, and then he thought of something else and continued: "The prey is cleaned outside the city. The water source here is not flowing."

Xuanwei nodded, and the priest left without any hesitation.

Nan Yue looked at the two-story bamboo building in front of her and was quite satisfied. She shook Xuan Wei's neck and said:

"Let's live in the cabin first and move in after the bamboo house is cleaned, okay?"

But for a long while, Xuanwei didn't respond.

She raised her eyebrows and looked at Xuanwei, only to see that Xuanwei was staring at the bamboo house, wondering what he was thinking.

"Hey! Big python!" Nan Yue yelled.

Xuanwei finally came back to his senses, "Yeah, I'm here."

Nan Yue: "Did you hear what I just said? And what are you thinking about?"

Xuanwei placed the cabin next to the bamboo house, carried her in, hesitated for a while before speaking: "Nanyue, do you know what the consequences are for actively choosing a female stray orc?"

"What are the consequences?" Nan Yue smiled.

"Being rejected by other females, both the tribe and the orc city will pay special attention to you."

Xuanwei said this, his eyes fixed on Nanyue. He was very afraid, very afraid to see retreat in Nanyue's eyes.

But Nan Yue said that if they like tribes and cities, they must face these.

After hesitating for so long, he still wanted to give her the choice.

Nan Yue was stunned, and immediately understood what the white-haired priest meant. In short, if she and Xuanwei were together, other females would look down on her...

"Is it important?"

Xuanwei: "What?"

Nan Yue smiled again: "Is it important? Other people's opinions are not important. Just live your own life well. To me, even if he is an extremely bad beastman, as long as he treats me well, I have no right to say he is a bad beastman."

"Similarly, if someone is a good orc to others, but is mean to me, then he is a bad orc in my eyes."

"When an orc is alive, he doesn't need to care too much about what others think, as long as he is comfortable."

Xuanwei's eyes slowly began to light up, and he hugged Nanyue tightly, his body trembling slightly.

He had already prepared himself to be abandoned again, but the result seemed different from what he expected.

He buried his head in Nanyue's neck and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Nanyue..."

suddenly.

There were noises and shouting outside the wooden house, and the beast mark on Nan Yue's neck became hot.
