Chapter 18 Beast City
A Yao knew very well how terrible the task she was about to do was and that her own life might be in danger.

It is not an exaggeration to say that one is carrying a huge burden.

She gave up going back to the nest.

What A Yao didn't know was that the snake and the leopard had already embarked on a long journey to become villains.

Going further and further away.

Hei Lu's relationship with A Yao also reached a freezing point. Now the two of them had been traveling together for four or five days without saying a word to each other.

Occasionally, Black Deer would hunt food for the girl as usual, but A Yao would not eat his food and simply treated Black Deer as a background.

[System: Host, we are getting closer and closer to the Beast City. Do you really want to try? The beastmen there are very strong, and we can no longer hide our marks.]

A Yao: "It's okay. We don't need to rush this mission. We have to go to a place with more people and stronger strength to protect ourselves. As for the mark, I will find a way."

The girl's sudden braking scared the black deer so much that its feet stopped due to inertia, leaving two grooves on the ground.

A Yao looked unhappy, and actually he didn't want to ask Hei Lu for anything.

"Do you know the priest?"

Hei Lu nodded. It had been many days since he heard A Yao talking to him, and he felt secretly happy.

"I know one, but his temper is a little strange. Aren't you afraid?"

Ah Yao's face showed his determination to change his fate, and he said firmly: "Don't be afraid."

What is more important than staying alive?

There is really no comparison between the tribe and the Beast City. Not only does it have towering city walls and a good sanitary environment, but there are also many orcs on the streets of the city trading their items and food with each other. They dress more formally, and it is very crowded and bustling.

A Yao took a look and saw that although the orcs here lived in simple houses made of wood and mud, they were much better than the dirty and messy cave nests.

It’s a bit like the suburban villages in my previous life, which were considered prosperous.

The girl looked around curiously, and Black Deer kindly explained to her: "Although the Beast City is not as grand and prosperous as the Royal City, it is many times better than the environment in the small tribe. If you are willing to follow me, I will take you to the Royal City."

A Yao did not answer Hei Lu's words.

Ever since I entered the city, I heard a lot of male orcs talking about me.

"She looks like a petite female, with no marks on her."

"Stop staring at me, it's disrespectful!"

"I don't know what the prototype of the little female is, but it smells so sweet."

"Stop talking, the male orc following the little female has released his mental power, and my legs are out of control."

The girl listened carefully to their gossip and found that there was not a trace of malice in it.

"Silly Tongzi, what's going on? Why are they treating me in a subtle way?"

[System: Sister Yao, you asked the right person. The beastmen who can live in the beast city are all strong people with spiritual power. They also have their own social development. Female beastmen here are even rarer and more scarce.]

[System: Sister Yao, you used to stay in tribes or wilderness where you had never seen the world. The females in the beast city were of high status. You see, they didn't dare to speak too loudly when discussing you. Here, females are as noble as the heads of ancient families with three wives and four concubines. Even if they get close, they dare not scare you.]

As Hei Lu walked, he found that A Yao was staring at the air again. He took a few steps to the front of the girl, leaving only his broad back blocking the sight of the group of people who were still looking at A Yao, his face a little gloomy.

I discovered this female myself, there is no way that she could have been snatched away by someone else.

The black deer walked in front of A Yao, leading the way for her, and finally stopped under a lush towering tree.

There are many branches on the tree, which are coiled into the shape of a nest.

He leaned down and instructed A Yao: "The priest of this city is a male orc from the crocodile tribe. I have known him for a long time, but his temper has always been up and down. He has a higher status than the city lord here. Don't speak to me as casually as you do to me." A Yao pouted and responded in a low voice.

The small figure jumped up in an instant and came to the door of the tree house with tangled branches. He knocked on the door frame twice before walking in.

There is a little bit of damp fishy smell, not strong, very light.

What came into view was a gentle-looking man, with a gorgeous gold ring on his chest inlaid with many gems, and long dark gray hair that fell naturally on his shoulders. He did not look as fierce as A Yao had imagined, but rather looked very harmless.

The ornaments on the priest's body made a pleasant crisp sound, and he finally looked up at A Yao.

The priest of the Beast City is named Muhui, a male albino crocodile with terrifyingly strong mental power.

Mu Hui smiled gently at A Yao, seeming to appreciate the politeness of the little female.

He stopped carving the stone slab, stretched out his hand and pointed to a wooden stool, indicating A Yao to sit down.

"You are the female who was brought out of the tribe by the elk, right?"

"There is a little spiritual power fluctuation in your body, but you don't have a partner. No wonder the elk brought you to me."

A Yao sat obediently on the tree stump, staring at Mu Hui with curious eyes. When the priest looked up, there was a strong sense of oppression, and he was not as gentle as he seemed just now.

The girl's voice was clear and cold: "Yes, Master Priest."

Mu Hui was staring at the girl's clear and stubborn eyes leisurely, but he was a little distracted.

"What an incredible female you are. Tell me, what do you want from me?"

A Yao became happy at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"I want the High Priest to give me a mark, a fake mark."

Mu Hui suddenly stood up, his golden eyes trembling, and looked at A Yao in disbelief.

He thought that if the female didn't look so young, Mu Hui would really take it as an invitation from the female. Imprinting is the only sign for a male to prove that he and the female have become partners.

Ah Yao couldn't help but rub his head in fear, and asked curiously: "Master Priest, is this difficult to do?"

Mu Hui knew that his current posture was a bit indecent, so he sat back on the cushion on the ground.

He explained: “It’s not difficult, but do the elk know you’re going to do it?”

Ah Yao now found the words related to black deer offensive and quickly interrupted Mu Hui.

"Of course he doesn't know. What does it have to do with him?"

Mu Hui looked at the fearless girl and found her particularly adorable. He never thought that a big shot in the royal city would be defeated by a young female.

A series of footsteps came closer and closer. Mu Hui walked to the tree stump where the girl was sitting and carefully looked her up and down.

There was no greed in those golden pupils, but instead there was a hint of oppression.

All the tremendous mental power surged towards the girl. Now she felt as if something was binding and entangled her body, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Mu Hui's voice is very attractive, but A Yao can't tell whether it is good or bad now.

"You know, everything in the City of Beasts is based on my preferences. Even when the city lord discusses things with me, he has to consider the cost. I have to admit that you are brave enough to come up and look me in the eye. But my dear little kitty, I helped you. What can you give me?"

[System: Sister Yao! Sister Yao! This crocodile's mental power is too strong. You should pretend to be weak, otherwise it will be a bit strange! ]

　Let me give you a gentle one first, so that you girls don’t feel that there are no good men!
