The Beast King's Little Wife

“I saw it! I saw our ancestors! Our ancestors truly have spirits! So the so-called legends are real. I always thought they were just lies told to us by the elders and the rituals. But now it's real. I'm guilty, I was wrong…”

As A-Ye spoke, she was about to kneel down.

Lin Dujuan grabbed her arm. "Explain to me, what's the difference between seeing the idol and not seeing it? Are there other people who can see it?"

Ah Ye, panting, struggled to kneel and kowtow before finally speaking.

"We are said to only the sacrificial Sam and others who can communicate with the ancestral gods. This requires a powerful spiritual soul. Our village's Sam seems to only be able to see a blurry image of fire; nothing else."

Hearing this, Lin Dujuan understood a little.

"In other words, only people like Sam who advocate sacrifice can see such things as seeing idols. Ordinary villagers can't see them at all. However, I am an odd one out."

In truth, she now strongly suspects that she sees those strange spirits because she is an outsider. Therefore, could she speculate that the ancestors of the orcs here were beings who came from elsewhere?

Of course, this was just a fleeting guess. It was actually the sorrowful feelings of her ancestors that gave her this idea.

“You don’t know how great our ancestors are in our hearts. They made unimaginable sacrifices to protect our village. Our ability to settle down here is also closely related to their sacrifices. It is said that our village was once attacked and surrounded and driven away by wild animals. But thanks to our heroic ancestors, we were able to survive here.”

Okay, this group is equivalent to revolutionary martyrs. People always have a deep-seated respect for martyrs. Lin Dujuan is no exception.

"However, it is said that our ancestors had a lasting wish. Apparently, they came from another world, though it is unclear exactly where. But they brought with them a prosperous economy and some excellent technologies. Unfortunately, with the defeat of our village's ancestors, all these technologies and books were lost. It is said that if we can find these inherited books, our village can dominate the world."

Lin Dujuan's eyes widened.

"Such amazing technology and information?"

Aye nodded solemnly.

"Indeed, our ancestors were formidable beings. Unfortunately, the Tiger Clan were just a bunch of children back then and had no access to those records. After our ancestors went out to eliminate the invaders, the children grew up slowly through their own perseverance. Eventually, they developed into the Tiger Creek Village we know today. In fact, most of our villagers are descendants of the original Tiger Creek Clan. However, some of them are scattered members of other tribes."

Lin Dujuan was aware of this as well. Tiger Creek Village was inhabited by a tiger species.

Most of the people here are descendants of tigers.

Those who have descended from the tiger clan make up about 60% of the village's population. Another 20% have formed families with people from outside the village, resulting in a less pure bloodline for their descendants. The remaining 20% ​​are simply people who have wandered from other tribes.

However, having stayed in the village for a long time, they have developed a strong sense of community and consider themselves members of the Huxi tribe.

"Okay, let's go back."

On their way back, Lin Dujuan started picking wild vegetables again. Aye spotted a wild rabbit ahead and decided to sneak up and chase it.

Seeing a clump of fresh wild vegetables not far ahead, Lin Dujuan went forward with great interest to dig them up.

However, as soon as they parted the grass, they were met with a pair of deep blue, cold eyes.

"Fox, please stop appearing and disappearing like this, you're really acting like a petty person."

Seeing the elegant four-tailed fox lying there, Lin Dujuan was furious.

“Female, you have seen the idol.”

Huang Lili spoke in human language without showing any remorse for disturbing others.

"Why should I tell you if I can't see it?" Lin Dujuan snorted and turned to go somewhere else.

Seeing the spot where that dead fox had been, she didn't even want to dig up any vegetables anymore.

"It's best not to tell anyone that you've seen the ancestral statues. It won't do you any good if word gets out."

Lin Dujuan paused in her steps.

He turned around and stared intently at the fox behind him.

"What do you mean? Why can't others know?"

The fox's mouth slowly turned up, revealing a hint of mockery.

"If you want to die, I can't stop you."

Lin Dujuan was even more furious.

"I'd like to hear the story behind this!"

Huang Lili didn't seem to intend to hide the truth.

A complex emotion flickered across those deep blue eyes.

"Once upon a time, there was a child from the Beast King City with noble blood. When he was born in beast form, he could understand what others were saying. He could even understand the words of other races."

However, precisely because of this talent, he heard a lot and thus learned many secrets.

Lin Dujuan carefully examined it.

After confirming that the creature wasn't talking nonsense, he patiently listened to what it had to say next.

However, just as she was about to listen, the fox tilted its head and said, "Female, if you could carry me away from here, perhaps I could have a pleasant conversation with you about many things."

Lin Dujuan stared in disbelief. She turned and walked away.

Shameless—that's exactly what this vixen is like.

Seeing her leave without a word, Huang Lili had no choice but to give up.

It followed closely behind.

"Well, one day, that guy overheard some priests talking about this world. Apparently, a long time ago, several very powerful beings came from outside. They knew all sorts of forging, refining, and crafting techniques, and found all sorts of different stone materials. Because they possessed advanced weapons and considerable technology, this group quickly established themselves in this world after entering..."

Lin Dujuan's steps faltered slightly. It seemed, perhaps, that she was referring to the Huxi tribe.

The Huxi people have developed to such a rapid extent.

"Because their technology, vision, and other qualities aroused envy, the tribes here began to harbor malicious intentions. Many large tribes secretly conspired to annihilate this advanced tribe. It was their encirclement and invasion that forced this tribe to retreat to remote mountains and forests to live a life of sustenance. However, the people of the ten major tribes did not give up. So they sent even more elite individuals to try to annihilate them and find out about this tribe's advanced technology..."
