Chapter 24 Crown Prince

Black Deer's real name is Lubei.

He is the first crown prince in the Beast King City. He has a noble status and a hobby of killing. Although he seldom shows up in public, he is a powerful killer feared by everyone in the city.

Every appearance of Lu Bei represents large-scale massacre and war. As members of the royal family, they all have a bit of the blood of the Deer God and are born with strong mental power. Moreover, his body is corrosive. As long as the huge beast form appears, the surrounding grass and trees will be reduced to ashes and all living things will suffer.

At that time, the Crown Prince fought with A Yao because his beast form was polluted and he lost his mind.

Lu Bei is deeply favored by the royal family. He inherited three parts of the body of the Deer God since he was a child. He has white hair and red eyes. This is a rare albinism in the deer clan. Although he is dark and evil when he transforms into his original form, he has the human appearance inherited from the Deer God.

And for any orc, being too god-like is not necessarily a good thing. It is easier to lose control and be polluted, and more irritable and less rational. They will suffer in the uncontrollable mental power of the beast god all their lives, and their self-awareness will be constantly drained, only to be exchanged for stronger strength.

It's a painful vicious cycle.

The reason why the crown prince escaped from his marriage was because he was proud by nature and didn't like being controlled by others. Moreover, she was just a female orc with spiritual powers. Did he need to be servile and fawning on her?

It's impossible!

So, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fought his way out of the encirclement and fled to a forest unknown to him to avoid the royal guards, until he lost his mind and was polluted by winter, and met his true female beast, A Yao.

A Yao could even fight him to a draw. Lu Bei certainly admired an independent and strong female orc, so he always followed A Yao wholeheartedly.

This newly-adult female tiger was full of mystery and unknowns, which made him feel incredible, and he gradually wanted to take A Yao for himself.

The old voice of the Deer King sounded in the Golden Palace.

"My son Lu Bei, why are you returning to the royal city now?"

"You have already been seriously polluted. Your father and your mother have already sacrificed a lot of territory in exchange for the females in the temple to come to the royal city to mate with you. How can you just walk away!"

Heilu was no longer dressed in rags as he always was when he followed Ayao around. He was now wearing a luxurious outfit with python pattern, embellished with gems and pearls. These things were extremely precious in the animal world, and it was estimated that only the royal family could be so extravagant.

The handsome face of the crown prince remained indifferent. "Father, I have found a female beastman with strong mental power in the beast city. She has even suppressed my corruption. She is much more powerful than the female I got from ceding land."

The Deer King was originally sitting on the golden chair, and when he heard Lu Bei's words, his body slipped.

"More powerful than the goddess in the temple?"

There was no one in the hall now, and Lu Bei carefully supported the limp body of the Deer King.

"That's right, father, she is a female stronger than the goddess."

The Deer King smiled and said, "Okay, okay, bring it here for Father to see."

The Crown Prince finally smiled.

"I didn't bring her back. She is now hiding in the City of Beasts, which is governed by the High Priest Muhui. She is still young and has just come of age. She doesn't know much about the rules. It will be easier for me to control her when she becomes my wife."

The Deer King was even more satisfied with his powerful son, who now knew how to control female orcs as his wives.

"Okay! Hurry up and take your future wife back to the royal city. The pollution can no longer affect your body..."

Lu Bei returned to his bedroom, now naked from the waist up, and lay down on the cold bed. He stretched out a hand and whispered to the air, "Ayao."

Now, he felt bad when he thought about how far away A Yao was from him. He had been with A Yao for so long, but A Yao always gave him a cold and distant feeling. He really wanted to marry A Yao as his wife, but he himself didn't know how true it was.

There may be exploitation, admiration, and true love...

I don’t know if the little liar misses me as much as I do after being away from me for so long?
Lu Bei smiled bitterly. A Yao, that little blockhead, would never take him seriously.

Our sister Yao has a strong ability to adapt and has become a familiar face in Beast City.

The girl rolled up her clean sleeves and stood properly.

She actually spread a piece of animal skin on the ground and placed all kinds of small things on it.

These are all useless junks that the system collects every day. "Come on, fellow beastmen, don't miss them if you pass by. There are nail clippers for manicure, cloths of various colors, and sweet and sour cheesecakes~"

[System: You are the only one who can make the most of rags.]

"Master Ayao, you are here again today. What is a nail clipper?"

"Master Ayao, your fabric is so beautiful. I have never seen it before. Can you exchange it for food?"

"Master Ayao, this snack smells so good. Is it made with milk?"

Ah Yao suddenly sat on the ground without any image. He was not surprised by the group of orcs who looked at him curiously. He explained to them one by one: "You can try the nail clippers. The cloth can only be exchanged for seeds. This is made of milk. You can try it."

The girl specially demonstrated to them how to use the nail clippers. They only needed to flip the small iron sheet on top and gently pinch it, and the nails would be trimmed neatly and rounded.

She did not forget to show her signature fangs and smiled.

But one morning, A Yao returned to the high priest's territory carrying a large bag of plant seeds. In his hand, he held a hoe made of sticks and stones, and struggled against the scorching sun and the soft soil.

The girl was very skillful at farm work. Every time she swung the hoe high, she would dig out an evenly spaced small hole.

The high priest could no longer stop A Yao. Even if he stopped the kitten from working every day, there were always times when he could not catch her.

The main thing is that A Yao has no free time and just wants to kill time and eat some of his favorite vegetables.

A Yao's name is mentioned by everyone in the Beast City every day. Lord A Yao sets up a stall for exchange of strange small items every day, and also distributes some delicious food to the orcs in the city, leading a new trend among female orcs to roll up their sleeves when they have nothing to do!

Every time the high priest finished his work, he would go down to help A Yao plant and water the fields. Anyway, the high priest couldn't bear to see his little cat work so hard.

The man's big hand held a handkerchief and wiped A Yao's sweat.

"Little cat, there is no place for you to farm under my tree. As a noble female orc, you don't have to work. You have food and drink here. Why bother?"

Ah Yao carried the hoe on his thin shoulders and vowed, "You priest, don't understand. I will kill all the female orcs here and let them know that living like a gigolo is not so delicious!"

The high priest shook his head. Hearing A Yao talking nonsense again, he had no choice but to grab A Yao's collar and carry him back to his tree house.

The high priest lowered his head, and the sound of earthenware jars colliding was heard. His movements were smooth and fluid. He brewed a small bowl of flower and fruit tea for A Yao. When the water temperature was no longer scalding, he brought it to the girl.

"This is the tea I made by imitating you. Try it."

A Yao's eyes lit up, but he didn't reach out to take it. Instead, he leaned forward and took a sip.

She didn't expect that her daily little habits would be remembered clearly by the High Priest, even when she had time to drink some flower tea, it would be remembered clearly.

A Yao only felt a little sweetness in his mouth and raised his eyebrows.

"The priest also added honey. It's so sweet."

The high priest smiled with some relief: "As long as you like it, I have very little sense of taste, and I don't know what you mean by sweet and fragrant."

A Yao took the whole bowl of tea with his little hands and drank it all in one gulp.

I don't know whether she blushed because of the heat or because of the priest's words.

The girl's voice was delicate and clear, with a hint of intriguing meaning.

"Just like when the priest sees me, he will be happy, joyful and sweet."

Mu Hui blinked and thought for a moment. Is that the feeling?
The priest probably understood what A Yao meant.
Maybe it’s the satisfaction after eating, the peace of mind after boosting mental strength, and the joy that arises in my heart every time I see a kitten.

[System: Main quest progress 10%]

A Yao: "What the hell?"
