Transmigrating to the Beast World: The Furry, Hentai Boss Begs for a Pregnancy
Chapter 8 This... is actually the goddess's power?
Although Xia Gu was focused on fighting the priest, she didn't miss the sinister look on the chieftain's face.
She lowered her eyes and summoned the system.
"Will I get 200 basic energy stones as long as I complete the side quest?"
Before the priest arrived, the system that was lying in the corpse finally started a side quest for Xia Gu.
She was required to resolve the conflict within fifteen minutes; if she failed, there would be only one outcome—
To obliterate.
This side quest was requested by Xia Gu, so the punishment was unprecedentedly severe.
[Host has been detected to be in mortal danger. Please focus on the battle.]
Instead of replying directly, the system reminded her that the current crisis was imminent and she could not afford to be distracted.
Xia Gu coldly curled the corners of her mouth, then suddenly raised her palm and used energy to condense a flame even larger than before.
The flame collided with the whirlwind emitted by the priest, unleashing tremendous power with a bang that sent the orcs on either side flying.
"Trying to harm the goddess, is this the priest of your mountain tribe?"
Xia Gu raised her voice, causing the priest, who had been imposing for many years, to suddenly tremble.
He instinctively wanted to kneel down before Xia Gu, but then the image of Shirley covered in blood flashed through his mind. His eyes reddened, his fists clenched tightly, and his gaze toward Xia Gu was filled with hatred once again.
"Enough with the nonsense! So what if you're a goddess? You've harmed my granddaughter; your crime is unforgivable!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the priest suddenly slashed his palm, and a stream of blood flowed into his staff.
The clan chief witnessed this scene and his expression suddenly changed.
Oh no! This is his trump card! If it succeeds, Xia Gu will be dead.
But the clan chief did not want to openly antagonize the priest, and at this critical moment, a thought flashed through his mind.
He suddenly shouted, "Priest, wait! Xia Gu is a goddess, and she has a destiny bestowed upon her. Your rash actions may disturb the gods and bring about an ominous sign!"
Upon hearing this, the golden light emanating from the priest's staff paused slightly.
He turned to look at the clan chief, his voice carrying an undeniable authority, "My granddaughter is in such imminent danger. If this disturbs the gods, I will apologize to them!"
The clan chief feigned composure and continued, "Priest, please calm down. I do not intend to obstruct you. However, as a goddess, how can we decide Xia Gu's fate? Why not place the goddess under house arrest with me for now, and hold a grand sacrificial ceremony tomorrow to ask the gods for her fate? What do you say?"
The priest sneered, knowing this was the chieftain's delaying tactic.
After a moment, he snorted coldly, "As the leader of our mountain tribe, Chieftain, do not speak up for her again!"
"This……"
The clan chief thought that the priest, who respected the gods the most, would put aside his hatred upon hearing these words, but little did he expect that the priest would truly be determined to kill him.
Xia Gu stood still, her gaze resolute, listening to the conversation between the two without being moved.
At this point, some orcs, fearing the priest's impending aura, quietly retreated into the distance.
Xia Gu narrowed her eyes and jumped out of the encirclement before the priest's array could be formed. She saw the golden light, accompanied by a tornado-like whirlwind, rushing towards her and causing severe damage wherever it went.
Just as the whirlwind was about to touch Xia Gu's skin, she suddenly dodged the attack with incredible speed.
At the same time, Xia Gu swung her hand back, and a dazzling burst of firelight erupted from her palm, colliding with the tornado and producing a deafening roar.
In an instant, all the orcs were terrified by the flash of fire.
This... is actually the goddess's power?
The high priest was no match for the goddess!
What a terrifying pressure.
Those orcs who previously harbored desires for Xia Gu now dared not approach her at all, fearing they might desecrate the goddess, and all scurried out of the cave.
Little did they know that this counterattack had almost exhausted all of Xia Gu's accumulated strength.
Just now, she completed the side quest and used up the 200 newly acquired basic energy stones at the last moment; otherwise, she would have been seriously injured in the battle against the priest.
No one noticed Xia Gu's slightly pale face and her slightly trembling right arm.
The priest of the mountain tribe was indeed a tough nut to crack.
When facing Shirley, Xia Gu didn't even use a fraction of her strength, but the enemy in front of her was a symbol of authority and punishment in the mountain tribe, and could not be resisted without giving it her all.
At the same time, the priest was terrified, but he forced himself to remain calm.
This seemingly fragile and vulnerable female actually managed to damage his very core!
With just one action, one counterattack, he tasted the metallic taste of blood in his throat.
To avoid being discovered by the chieftain and other orcs, the priest desperately swallowed the blood, his eyes turning bloodshot.
If the beastmen knew that he, a member of a mountain tribe, had been injured by a female, how could he ever face his tribe again?
After the firelight subsided, the priest slowly withdrew his staff, his eyes still gleaming with resentment.
He knew that if he were to take forceful action again at this moment, it would likely damage his prestige in the tribe and even cause greater turmoil within the tribe.
The clan chief, as an observer, had a calculating look in his shrewd eyes.
I never expected the goddess to be so powerful. Not only was she able to withstand the priest's fatal blow, but she also managed to put the priest at a disadvantage.
It seems she has been hiding such amazing strength all along.
If the goddess could be taken to his side...
This will undoubtedly become a great asset to him within the tribe, allowing him to contend with other forces...
Everyone had their own ulterior motives, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
Just then, Xuan Li suddenly rushed over and ran breathlessly to Xia Gu.
"Are you okay?"
He went to find water for Xia Gu, but worried that the water was too cold, so he warmed it up outside for a while. Then he saw a bright fire inside the cave and knew something was wrong, so he immediately rushed back.
He thought Xia Gu would be seriously injured and almost wouldn't be able to explain to Brother Lan, so he was prepared to atone with his death.
Exhausted, Xia Gu weakly reached out her hand to him, "Where's the water?"
Xuan Li stared wide-eyed. "I...I got lost on the way."
He was in such a hurry that he didn't have time to think about anything else, and he never expected that she really wanted to drink water.
The situation gradually reached a stalemate.
Xia Gu glanced at the priest, knowing he was still unwilling, but dared not make any further moves. So she took the initiative to speak: "Priest, Sherry brought her beastman to confront me. She also agreed to a duel with me, and if she lost, she would be at my disposal. She was simply outmatched, and I was only trying to protect myself. Aren't you being unreasonable?"
However, the priest was clearly unwilling to give up.
He was trembling with rage. He hadn't expected Xia Gu to make such a pretext. "You! You were too ruthless and didn't leave my granddaughter any way out!"
"Oh?" Xia Gu remained calm, sneering, "Is Shirley dead?"
"shut up--"
The priest roared angrily.
Xia Gu curled her lips into a smile. "Since she's not dead, how can you say I didn't leave her a way out? If she hadn't harbored malicious intent, how could she have ended up like this?"
Sharp teeth!
The priest was speechless, choked by Xia Gu's words. He angrily waved his sleeve and turned to the chieftain who had followed him, saying, "Chieftain, I request that the goddess be imprisoned in the slave cave for three days as punishment. Shirley lost her child because of her and will never be able to have children again. She is so cruel; shouldn't she pay the price for her actions?"
