"Female, you're so beautiful, do you need a beast mate?"

"You, a mere blue-rank beastman, do you deserve to have such a beautiful female?"

"Female, you smell so good!"

"That's right, how about I be your beast tamer? I'm a Yellow-Rank Beastman!"

The orcs jostled and shoved, chattering and trying to find out more about her. Some even went so far as to physically try to take her hand.

"All of you, step back!" a deep voice rang out.

An old orc emerged from the largest stone house in the center, his body hunched and his steps faltering.

His face was etched with wrinkles, revealing the marks of time; his long, disheveled, gray hair and cloudy eyes were striking. He was thin and wore tattered animal skin clothing, covered in repairs, clearly mended many times.

The old orc's fingers were thin and bony. He bent down slightly and turned his gaze to the male orcs surrounding Chu Xinyao. His voice was authoritative: "What are you doing? Don't frighten our distinguished guest."

“Beautiful female, hello, I am the village chief here. May I ask where you come from? Why are you alone in this remote village?” The old orc turned to Chu Xinyao and smiled.

He appeared kind and approachable, yet a shrewd glint shone in his murky eyes. And when he appeared, although he stopped the orcs, the male orcs' encirclement did not stop at all.

Those gazes lingered on her chest, waist, and legs, as if they wanted to devour her whole.

Chu Xinyao slapped a hand that was trying to touch her waist. "Get away!" she shouted angrily.

[This is not a place to stay for long!] Long Tingting reminded him in his mind.

[Yes, I know.]

Chu Xinyao grabbed her bundle and waved it around at the orcs, trying to get them to stay away from her.

The orcs were not afraid of her attacks, but the animal hides wrapped with food belonged to powerful beasts in the Vira Forest, and moreover, they carried the scent of high-ranking orcs.

Male orcs are extremely sensitive to this scent; with just a wave of their hand, they can almost feel a majestic giant tiger pouncing on them.

Several low-level orcs were involuntarily frightened and took a few steps back. They were also mocked by the other orcs around them, which immediately disrupted their formation.

Seeing an empty spot among the orcs, Chu Xinyao took a few light steps and leaped onto a nearby tree before anyone could react.

"You people are so rude! I don't want you to be my beast husbands." Her pretty figure appeared and disappeared on the treetop, exuding a charming and innocent air.

The old orc slammed the wooden stick of his cane on the ground, signaling to the others.

Such a beautiful female, if we catch her, we can first have a few offspring for his son, and then sell her to the temple, and our family will become rich.

Chu Xinyao leaped lightly from treetop to treetop, like a nimble kitten. Her eyes were mischievous. Why would she choose these ugly and deformed things instead of the beautiful and powerful Tiger Roar?

The beastmen roared, and several of the more agile male beasts transformed and began climbing the tree. But Chu Xinyao was too nimble, and they could only watch helplessly as she climbed.

Seeing this, the old orc's eyes flashed with cunning. He knew that brute force would not work; he had to outsmart him.

"Beautiful female, why do you want to run away? The male beastmen in our village are known far and wide for their strength, and don't underestimate them just because they don't have much potential. There are even more powerful male beastmen in our village. My son is an orange-rank beastman." The old beastman tried to lure Chu Xinyao with sweet words.

Chu Xinyao smiled dismissively; she wasn't going to fall for it. "You people are too rude, I don't like it, bye-bye." With that, she turned and prepared to leave the tree.

Seeing him about to leave, the old orc said with a ferocious expression, "Grab her for me. Whoever catches her will get to sleep with her for one night."

Chu Xinyao's eyes widened as she looked at the old orc who had ordered her capture. A flash of anger crossed her eyes; she hadn't expected these orcs to be so shameless.

[Dude, who are these people?! I want to beat them to death.]

She aimed at a lynx beastman who was climbing up and kicked him hard. The lynx beastman couldn't dodge in time and was hit squarely. Unfortunately, Chu Xinyao's strength hadn't been enhanced. The lynx beastman only felt a fragrance coming towards him and was gently pushed in the chest. Then, he was overjoyed. It seemed that tonight was going to be his good night.

[What are you dawdling for?! Run!]

Long Tingting was furious. This woman was really something. Didn't she know her own strength? If this lynx beastman hadn't been so thin and lacked combat experience, if she had just grabbed that beautiful leg when it kicked up, Chu Xinyao would have been completely at their mercy.

Chu Xinyao obediently stepped back. Her body was incredibly light, and after her speed increased several times, she leaped down from the tree like a gentle breeze and headed straight for the edge of the village.

The beastmen watched in astonishment as Chu Xinyao disappeared from sight; they had never expected this seemingly weak female to possess such astonishing speed.

The old orc angrily brandished his wooden club, ordering his men to give chase, but they knew it was too late.

Chu Xinyao sped along, feeling a lightness she'd never experienced before. "Boss Long, this Swiftness item is truly amazing! I've been running for so long, and I don't even feel it..."

Before she could finish speaking, Chu Xinyao felt her steps become heavy, and her body lost its previous lightness, as if she had fallen from the clouds to the ground, with gravity binding her again.

"Ah!" Chu Xinyao exclaimed in surprise, her foot slipped, and she lost her balance.

The muddy ground was covered with a thin film of water, making it look like solid ground, but it was actually a slippery trap. As soon as Chu Xinyao stepped on it, mud and water splashed everywhere, and her body involuntarily leaned forward, eventually falling into the mud pit in a sorry state.

Mud splashed all over her, her animal skin skirt was covered in mud, and her hair was a mess. Chu Xinyao struggled to climb out of the mud puddle, somewhat annoyed. It was truly a case of too much joy turning to sorrow; she had just been about to praise the wonders of the Swift Fruit, and the next moment she was in this disheveled state.

"Boss, what's going on?" The dirty little face was full of questions.

Long Tingting said, "You've been using it too frequently. Your body can't handle it. You've been running for more than two hours. Your body needs rest to recover."

Chu Xinyao brushed the mud off her clothes, her voice tinged with a hint of helplessness, "Well, it seems I'm still too weak." Thinking that she was now quite far from the orcs, she finally felt relieved.

Looking around, I searched for a place to wash. Just then, I spotted a clear stream not far away, its water babbling, looking perfect for washing.

Unsure if there was any danger, she cautiously walked towards the stream, afraid of encountering another accident.

Reaching the stream, her mud-covered figure was reflected in the water. She had always been aware of her striking beauty, and indeed, it had brought her many advantages in the past. However, in this barbaric and backward Beast God Continent, being too beautiful might not be a good thing.

"Boss, I think the females in this Beast God Continent are all rather ordinary-looking. Am I too conspicuous?" Chu Xinyao said, somewhat worried.

Long Tingting was somewhat surprised, her tone tinged with amusement: "Conspicuous? Perhaps. But on this continent, no, on any continent, power reigns supreme. Your beauty may bring you benefits or trouble, but as long as you are strong enough, those troubles will naturally be nothing to fear."

Chu Xinyao smiled bitterly. If Long Tingting said these words, it wouldn't sound out of place at all, but she... She knew her own limitations; she was nothing more than a weakling. Before, she could at least be a decorative object. But now, if she remained a decorative object, she would most likely be fought over by these male beastmen who had never seen a beautiful woman before, and might even become the possession of one or more people.

"Boss, you're right, but with my strength, I can barely protect myself, let alone become powerful," Chu Xinyao sighed and said helplessly.

Long Tingting was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Strength is not innate; it can be acquired through continuous effort. As long as you have perseverance, you will eventually have the opportunity to become a strong person in this world." This was a belief she had always held firmly, and it was also the reason why she was able to become a powerful being in such a harsh and dangerous environment as the apocalypse.
