Pampered Beasts: Beautiful Actress, Many Children, Many Blessings
Chapter 3 On Acting Skills: Sister is a Professional
Especially since there are so many males here. All of them who serve as guards, whether from the hamster clan or the giant rat tribe, are eligible single males. Each of them hopes to find a good female during this coming-of-age ceremony, which is the most important event in their lives.
There's no need for her to stubbornly resist in a situation where she's bound to lose, ultimately ruining the goodwill of these men.
So, she shrank her neck, pretending to be timid, and looked at the person in front of her with her big, watery eyes, appearing innocent and pitiful. She nodded emphatically, "Mmm!"
The girl's clear voice, carried by the wind, made Zhan Lu's heart tremble.
He is 25 years old this year, which is considered old for a single male. He has participated in the escort mission every year since he was 18, watching one female after another come and go on the altar, but he has never felt any attraction. But at this moment, his heart was moved uncontrollably.
Like a seed, it sprouted wildly from the soil and grew into a towering tree in a short time.
He understood that he wanted her, and only her!
But not yet. He has to bring the team back intact. He has to wait for her coming-of-age ceremony to choose her beast husband, and then openly and legitimately...
He suppressed the pounding in his heart, his gaze involuntarily shifting slightly, and saw the withered branch she was still holding in her hand, which was still burning with flames!
He was startled and snatched it away, his voice unconsciously rising slightly, "For all beasts, fire is an extremely dangerous thing. How could a little female play with fire?"
"I..." Xixi was about to explain, but her voice was cut off as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Yes, first you played in the water and then you played with fire. Little sister, you are really too playful. How can you be a good mother like this? How can you shoulder the heavy responsibility of giving birth to children?" With her cousin's status, it couldn't be easier for Cizhu to scold Xixi.
Because of her words, some of the males in the crowd who had initially thought Xixi was cute began to waver.
Yeah, what's the use of being cute?
They are males who choose their wives, and they only have this one chance in their lives, so how can they be so willful?
We definitely need to choose someone mature, like Xixi. She's fine as a girl next door to pamper, but she's not qualified to be the wife.
"But don't you find it strange? The shaman said that our giant rat tribe's clan fire went out last winter, and we were planning to borrow fire from the neighboring hyena tribe after this coming-of-age ceremony. Where did Xixi get the fire?"
In the Beast World, fire is dangerous, but also necessary. However, fire is usually only controlled by the chief priest to ensure that the tribe can survive the winter.
Last winter, a month-long blizzard extinguished the clan fire of the Shuoshu tribe, and many of its members froze to death.
This is something many people know; it's not a secret at all.
"Could it be that the hamster clan is hoarding fire and refusing to hand it over to our chief shaman?" a guard from the hamster tribe asked.
The relationship between the Shuoshu tribe and the Cangshu clan is equivalent to that between a country and a prefecture. Whatever good things the prefecture has, it must be supplied to the country.
Moreover, this happened at a time when the clan fire was extinguished and many clansmen died tragically. If the fire was indeed secretly kept by the Hamster Clan, then they would surely bear the wrath of the entire Giant Rat Tribe.
This is a much more serious matter than the young female playing with fire.
Pu Pu quickly defended Xi Xi, "Last winter, our Hamster Clan also lost a large number of members due to the lack of clan fire. If we really had this fire, how could there be such a high rate of freezing to death?"
"Yes, yes!" As a fellow member of the hamster clan, Magnetite couldn't remain uninvolved and had to help explain, "This fire must be a wildfire!"
"Is that so?" Everyone looked at Xixi, wanting to get the final answer.
Of course not, I started the fire myself!
However, Xixi cannot say that. After all, if she did, why couldn't she make a fire last winter, and let so many of her people freeze to death?
No matter how you look at it, this is a dead end!
But Xixi is unwilling to accept that the blame is entirely due to the wildfire.
So, without batting an eye, she lied and said, "No! This is a spark that the Beast God bestowed upon me today!"
Everyone: "!!!"
"The Beast God actually bestowed fire upon the little female!"
"Could it be that Xixi is actually the messenger of the Beast God? Specially sent to protect our Big Rat Tribe?"
"No, even if the Beast God were to choose a divine messenger, he would only choose the Holy Female. How could he possibly choose a young female who hasn't even undergone her coming-of-age ceremony as his divine messenger? Wait... Could it be that the young female Xixi is actually the Holy Female chosen by the Beast God?"
Magnetic Bead: "......" How did things get so out of control?
Along the way, the group carefully escorted the fire and the female back to the Big Rat tribe.
During this time, Xixi felt the gazes of Cizhu and another female falling on her face from time to time, as if they were talking quietly about something.
The voice was too soft to hear clearly, but Xixi could guess that it wasn't anything good!
Finally, when assigning temporary caves.
They were paired up and each had their own room. Originally, as cousins, Cizhu should have shared a cave with Xixi, but Cizhu chose Lijiao instead. As they passed each other, Cizhu even whispered a threat: "We'll see!"
With her innocent and bewildered eyes wide open, Xixi asked in a clear and loud voice in front of everyone, "What are you waiting to see?"
Then, her eyes instantly welled up with tears, "Does my sister have something good to show Lijiao but won't let me see it? Is she still angry because I was playing around today? Waaah... Xixi really didn't mean it!"
As she spoke, she hugged her knees, squatted down, buried her head, and sobbed, repeating between sobs, "Xixi...Xixi knows...she was wrong, she will...never...play in the water...again!"
This performance was full of emotion and natural, with smooth movements and sounds. For Xixi, a working professional, it was child's play, but for the beastmen of the ancient beast world, it was an overwhelming victory.
"It's not a big deal, is it necessary to keep harping on it?"
"Exactly! It's just an accident while taking a bath. Once you're paired up and have a male to look after you, nothing will go wrong again!"
"I remember that the idea of taking a bath together was originally proposed by her cousin. How come she was the one who ended up with the trouble and got scolded? Even when we got to the caves, she was tricked!"
Xixi's reaction was clearly unexpected by Cizhu. Could it be that she had damaged her brain after falling into the water and had forgotten all of this? Otherwise, how could she not refute them at all, and even admit her mistake by following their fabricated lies?
Injured... wait!
How could she fall from such a height without a single injury? Not a broken arm or leg, not even a scratch. This is too unusual.
It was only then that the magnetic bead suddenly noticed these details.
Upon closer inspection, she realized that the coarse linen clothes Xixi was wearing were a style she had never seen before!
"Where did you get this garment? You were clearly wearing a heavy animal robe when you went out, so why did you change into this other garment?"
