Just then, Cizhu looked over. She remembered her mother's instructions and maintained a polite smile throughout her coming-of-age ceremony.

"My God! She smiled at me! She must have taken a liking to me, I'm going to go for it!" A tall, thin man rushed over, introducing himself and hoping to make an impression on his future wife.

Looking around Xixi, this situation is not uncommon. More than half of the males are surrounding the females, while the females always keep a smile on their faces, neither too close nor too far, just like a scene of fans chasing after celebrities.

The biggest star is obviously Nana, the rumored granddaughter of the shaman!

However, Nana always held her chin up arrogantly, ignoring the people around her, her gaze sweeping over the crowd as if searching for something.

At this moment, Xixi is also looking for someone.

Unfortunately, she looked around but couldn't find it.

Before the coming-of-age ceremony began, she used her sleeve as a cover to take out slices of smoked meat from her spatial storage and chewed them in small bites.

After taking a couple of bites, she looked up at Pupu and asked in a low voice, "Have you had breakfast yet? Would you like some?"

Pu Pu was startled, and subconsciously shook her head, then quickly nodded.

As an ordinary orc with low combat power, he only eats one meal a day and has no concept of breakfast. His last meal was eaten yesterday before he set off, and he was already starving.

Even so, how could a male eat the food of a young female? It should be the male feeding the female!

Xi Xi blinked, unsure whether the other person was going to eat or not. Just as she was about to ask again, she heard people whispering nearby.

"Huh? What smells so good? It smells like smoked meat!"

"Smoked meat? That belongs to the Chief Priest. Being able to get a bite during the winter is already a great blessing. How dare you even dream of it!"

"Look, isn't that bacon that the little female is holding? Even though it's sliced ​​thinly, the aroma and the texture are absolutely amazing!"

As they were discussing this, they noticed Xixi looking over and couldn't help but ask her directly.

"Little female, is that the shaman's smoked meat you're eating?"

Xi Xi felt a chill run down her spine, sensing that the visitor was up to no good, and turned away without wanting to speak.

The male didn't press the matter, but his cousin Cizhu rushed over, "Xixi, isn't this the smoked meat from the Witch's Head Cave? How did you get this? Could it be... that you stole it?"

The word "steal" was emphasized so strongly by the magnetic bead that one couldn't help but feel that she was absolutely right.

The way everyone looked at Xixi changed. Females should wait for males to feed them, and they should never steal, especially not stealing from the chief witch. That would be a heinous crime!

Just as Xixi was about to retort, a commotion arose not far away.

"Heavens! This early in the morning, Zhan Lu actually hunted a Ferocious Horned Camel all by himself! This is a level three adult magical beast, which usually takes more than a dozen people to kill. Zhan Lu actually hunted it all by himself? He truly deserves to be the number one warrior of our Giant Rat Tribe!"

"Huh? Wait a minute, why is he going that way? Isn't that Xixi, the daughter of the superior fertility of the Hamster Clan?"

Xi Xi watched as Zhan Lu returned carrying a huge creature. The creature was already lifeless, with an open wound on its neck and abdomen, as well as multiple wounds on its back and legs. It was not killed in one blow, indicating that the two had been fighting for quite some time.

Fortunately, although Zhan Lu was a little tired, he was not injured, and his eyes shone with pride.

Standing before Xixi, he watched the little female eating the smoked meat he had brought yesterday, a smile playing on his lips.

"Eat more, there's still some left. I'll take it to the witch chief later and ask her to make it into smoked meat for me."

He spoke lightly, but those around him couldn't help but gasp.

Looking at the smoked meat in Xixi's hand, he couldn't help but understand where it came from.

But wasn't Zhan Lu Nana's chosen first beast husband? How could he be asking the Chief Witch for things to feed other females? Isn't this a blatant slap in the face to the Chief Witch and to Nana?

Before the crowd could even begin to discuss, a gong sounded, and the chief shaman stepped onto the stage. His gaze lingered on Zhan Lu for a moment, then he glanced at Xi Xi with a probing look. Without saying much, he announced loudly, "The coming-of-age ceremony begins!"

"Please invite this year's new females to the stage for an assessment of their fertility!"

Xixi didn't dare to delay. Under the cover of her sleeve, she stuffed the smoked meat she hadn't finished eating back into her space, and then followed Cizhu onto the stage.

Once on stage, Cizhu didn't make any small movements. She even smiled at everyone around her and gave her a smile in return, though the smile didn't reach her eyes.

Suddenly, a sharp gaze shot over, and Xixi subconsciously looked up, only to meet the eyes of a strange female.

Xixi thought for a moment, and judging from the attitude of the people around her, this person should be Nana, the granddaughter of the chief witch. She returned a friendly smile.

But the other person rolled their eyes, turned their head away angrily, and refused to look at her again.

Xi Xi was stunned, but after a moment's thought, she realized that Zhan Lu had drawn hatred into her life!

One magnetic bead was already quite troublesome, and now there's another one, Nana, who is also the granddaughter of the tribal chieftain.

Isn't this girl's identity just like that of the crown princes of those dynasties in my previous life? She's going to inherit the throne in the future. If she offends someone like that, how can she live peacefully in the tribe?

Especially at this moment, Zhan Lu arrogantly threw the fierce horned camel to the ground, looked triumphantly at the witch chief, raised his eyebrows at his father, and finally looked at himself with affection, without giving Nana a single glance the whole time.

Xi Xi couldn't help but feel a headache coming on; this guy was actually openly making her the target of hatred!

She glanced at the females on the stage out of the corner of her eye and saw that everyone was looking at her with some hostility, which made her feel numb.

Why did she feel that this person was more composed yesterday?

This guy is clearly an idiot!

"Alright!" The shaman's voice rang out, interrupting Xixi's thoughts.

"All new females, please step forward one by one and place your hands on the Beast God totem. The Beast God will tell us about your respective fertility!"

Soon a female stepped forward, and she walked to the edge of the altar, reaching out to touch the beast god totem on the altar. In the blink of an eye, a very faint red light flashed above the altar.

"Inferior fertility!"

"Waaah... No! Impossible!" The female was clearly unable to accept it and collapsed to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

The males who had originally surrounded her scattered like birds and beasts, all switching allegiances.

Reality is cruel: males seek mates for two reasons: procreation and emotional comfort.

Emotional comfort can also be provided by visiting the female's cave. A female with low fertility and a very low probability of giving birth is not worth their trouble in trying to please and serve.

Influenced by the first female, the second female's raised hands trembled slightly, but then a pink light enveloped the altar, and the shaman shouted:
