Chapter 2: Rites of Passage

Lin Xia raised his head sharply when he heard this, and nodded heavily: "Hmm." ”

Bai Yingying stopped talking, only lowered her head and focused on biting the piece of meat in her hand.

After Bai Yingying finished eating, she found that Lin Xia had already left.

And he didn't eat the piece of meat at all, and he put it on a clean hide.

“...”

Bai Yingying looked at the direction of the curtain steadily, and after only struggling for a second, she picked up the meat on the animal skin and ate it.

The orcs eat a lot of food, and the ones they ate just now are not enough for her to fill her stomach.

The orcs of the Orc Continent are all carnivores, and they must eat enough meat every day to obtain nutrients.

Bai Yingying ate all the raw meat, and then she felt alive.

After scooping a sip of water from the cistern with a wooden scoop, she slowly leaned against the wall and returned to the stone bed to lie down.

Perhaps because of the large amount of energy she had consumed, she only felt so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, so she put aside the strange feeling and covered the animal skin to sleep.

This sleep, I slept directly to the next day.

She woke up the moment Lin Xia entered the cave and the sunlight shone in.

Lin Xia held a few fresh fruits in the animal skin, "Yingying, I'm bringing you breakfast." ”

Bai Yingying couldn't help but sigh that he couldn't move to send fruit to the original owner every day, but the original owner didn't eat it at all.

It is estimated that seeing that the original owner's face was too bad, Lin Xia took the risk of going out hunting with her friends, but it was cheaper for her.

Bai Yingying lowered her eyes and looked at the fruit without speaking.

Lin Xia misunderstood, he sat on the edge of the bed, and comforted him gently: "Don't be nervous, I think your fertility value is definitely not low." ”

What the heck?

Bai Yingying raised her eyes, her eyes full of doubt.

Lin Xia lowered her eyes and didn't look at her at all, she blushed to herself, and said expectantly: "It's just... Don't forget to pick me..."

Bai Yingying was stunned, and then remembered the memory of the original owner.

Yes.

Today is her 18th birthday coming-of-age ceremony, and it is also the day when the female orcs assess their fertility.

In the Orc Continent, females have no hunting ability and are weak, so they are scarce.

Females, in particular, who are highly fertile, are even rarer.

Because there are many males and few females, polyandry is practiced.

But this is only for females who have high fertility.

They have many suitors and can choose their husbands to support themselves.

Lin Xia was afraid that his own talent was low, and after Bai Yingying measured that his fertility was high, there would be more suitors, so he would not choose him.

"They all said I was weak and ugly, and I didn't look able to have children. Definitely not a good female. Bai Yingying said slowly.

Her beast-like hair is pure white, which is an unpopular color in the Orc Continent, and white means conspicuous, which is not conducive to survival.

In addition, she is a premature rabbit and is naturally weak, more delicate than other females, and difficult to feed.

Her father and three older brothers all had accidents one after another because they were hunting to feed her.

Therefore, her relatives hated her, and the orcs of the tribe did not like her.

Even some wandering foreign orcs disliked her as weak and ominous.

The other females, even if they are not adults, are all stars and moons, but no one cares about her.

Since she was a child, only the neighbor's brother Lin Xia liked her.

Sure enough, her self-deprecating words made Lin Xia angry.

"Nonsense!"

Lin Xia's handsome face instantly turned red, "You are the best female in the tribe!" You are kind and gentle, and you have never disliked my low talent..."

His ears grew redder and redder under Bai Yingying's gaze.

"I don't care about the name of the First Beast Husband, as long as you choose me. I, I just want to, I just want to be yours, to be your beast husband..."

In the end, they all stammered.

Bai Yingying was shocked by his straightforward confession, and her scalp tingled when she heard it.

The first beast husband? That's what she understood, right?

Sure enough, this is a world even more magical than the end times.

She hurriedly interrupted, "It's not early, let's go..."

Lin Xia replied in a low voice, touched his hot cheeks, turned around to lift the animal skin curtain, and motioned for Bai Yingying to go first.

The two left the small cave.

The tribe they belong to is called the Rabbit Hunting Tribe.

It is a medium-sized tribe in the Sunset Mountains.

They are of average strength, but they are highly fecund, and there are often females with excellent fertility value, which are favored by the strong men of other large tribes and sent for marriage.

Backed by large forces, coupled with the ability to live, it gradually developed into a medium-sized tribe.

Bai Yingying and Lin Xia walked in the tribe and were frequently noticed and discussed.

The female coming-of-age ceremony is second only to the annual ritual ceremony.

Therefore, the females who held the coming-of-age ceremony today are all females born in the same year, and it is not Bai Yingying's birthday ceremony alone.

The rabbit hunters have a population of about 5,000.

More than 300 males were born in the same year, but only 35 females.

But this amount is enough to be proud of the surrounding tribes.

Bai Yingying is the least favored female in the clan.

Other females are fed more or less since childhood, because there are many males who want to mix with each other.

When she was a child, she was fed jerky by some small males, but as she grew up, only Lin Xiaken continued to feed her.

"Look, this little female of the Bai family hasn't seen her for a few days, and she has lost a lot of weight, and she feels like she's about to die."

"If you die at a coming-of-age ceremony, how bad it will be!"

Their discussion was very small, but Bai Yingying and the two still faintly heard something.

Bai Yingying didn't care at all, but Lin Xia felt uncomfortable and clenched her fists.

He said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense! The female is the treasure of every tribe, and if you dare to curse indiscriminately, I will tell the shrine maiden! ”

"Haha, I'm laughing to death. Lin Xia, how fertile do you really think Bai Yingying is? However, your garbage talent is just right for her. ”

This person was obviously afraid that Lin Xia would go to sue the witch, so he threw down this cruel sentence and left.

"You!" Lin Xia angrily raised his feet and went to chase.

Seeing that Lin Xia was angry, Bai Yingying stopped him in time.

Fighting is a waste of physical strength, which means wasting food.

Moreover, in the last days, she had heard too many insulting words, and this level of innocence could not anger her at all.

Bai Yingying held Lin Xia's hand and pulled him away.

And at this moment, all of Lin Xia's attention was on Bai Yingying's hand holding him.

He lowered his head and stared at the intertwined fingers, the corners of his mouth rising wildly.

The two of them quickly walked to the square, where many orcs were already waiting.

Everyone gathered together to chat in twos and threes, and the whole square was full of people, which was indeed very lively.

In Lin Xia's encouraging eyes, Bai Yingying walked alone to the position where the females were waiting for the coming-of-age ceremony.

There were already more than twenty girls standing here, all of different hair colors.

The common ones are earthy yellow, gray, black, white, and even flowers, which makes Bai Yingying's heart cry magical.

You don't need to dye your hair, whatever color the beast's body is, your hair will be whatever color you have, it's amazing.

When the girls saw her coming, they just glanced at her, then turned their eyes away and continued to talk to the people around them.

There is only ignorance, no imaginary yin and yang weirdness and abuse.
