Chapter 219: The Poor Snake Beastmen in the Beast World (6)
Once the male cubs reach adulthood, they will be driven out of the tribe.
Unless you can survive alone in such a vast forest for three months.
After three months, the orcs who return safely to the tribe are truly adult orcs.
The tiger cubs are very interested in Jiang Zui, the foreign orc.
When they saw Jiang Zui, the cubs surrounded him and asked in a mumbling voice:
"I heard that you are the most terrifying snake orc among the wandering orcs? Is it true?"
"What's your name? My name is Huya, and I'm nine years old."
"I've never seen the original form of a snake beastman. Can you transform back into the original form and show us?"
"Hmph! What's so good about the prototype of the snake orc? I heard it's quite ugly!" The cub who said this was called Hu Dong.
He likes Bai Qi. Although he is two years younger than Bai Qi, Bai Qi, as a female orc, can take in unlimited partners regardless of their age.
Hu Dong has always been looking forward to growing up as an adult and becoming Bai Qi's partner.
Unexpectedly, Bai Qi actually brought back a snake beastman from outside, and despite the opposition of his tribesmen, he resolutely kept it.
This made Hu Dong very displeased with Jiang Zui.
"Jiang Zui, when I come of age, I will be Bai Qi's second partner. You are not allowed to compete with me for that. Do you understand?"
Since Bai Qi's first partner spot has been taken by Shiye, Hudong wants to be Bai Qi's second partner.
Hu Dong is young and his words don’t sound malicious. In Jiang Zui’s opinion, it’s just a provocation between children.
However, despite this, it doesn’t work.
Someone wants to steal my wife?!
Nope!
Jiang Zui directly retorted: "Rob?! Do you think you are worthy of competing with me? Do you think Brother Qi likes you or me more?"
Jiang Zui's words instantly made Hu Dong cry, his nose running, and he cried loudly. He pointed at Jiang Zui and asked, "Jiang Zui, you bad orc, I'm going to complain to Brother Qi and ask him to kick you out of the tribe."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other cubs looked at a loss and nervous, with helplessness in their eyes. Several orcs opened their mouths to persuade them, but they didn't have the courage and remained silent.
Hu Dong cried and scolded Jiang Zui, "Jiang Zui, you bullied me, wuwuwu——"
Hu Dong's crying made Jiang Zui's head hurt. Jiang Zui suddenly shouted, "Shut up!"
As soon as these words fell, Hu Dong stopped crying immediately. His face was covered with tears, and he pouted his lips. He kept sobbing, and looked at Jiang Zui with a look of extreme fear, and whispered:
"You...what do you want to do? I...I warn you...this is the tiger...the tiger tribe..."
Jiang Zui rubbed his temple and complained silently in his heart: Why did he just quarrel with the kid?
This! This is too embarrassing!
Jiang Zui pretended to smile and said, "I didn't mean to do anything! I just wanted to tell you that from now on... you can't like Brother Qi, okay?"
"Why...why?" Hu Dong asked in a trembling voice, with confusion in his eyes, as if he didn't understand why he couldn't like Bai Qi?
Bai Qi is so nice, he thinks there should be no orc who doesn’t like him, right?
Jiang Zui replied lightly: "Because I like Brother Qi."
What the hell? !
Why was he arguing with a little brat about love? !
"You like Brother Qi, does that have anything to do with... me liking Brother Qi too?" Hu Dong lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying:
"Since... since we both like Brother Qi, then... then I'll let you go. From now on, you will be Brother Qi's second partner, and I'll be the third."
"No!" Jiang Zui scolded, "Brother Qi has only me as his partner, you are not allowed to covet Bai Qi. If I find out, you will be spanked."
After saying that, Jiang Zui turned and left.
Hu Dong was left standing there with his eyes wide open in a daze.
Bai Qi saw Jiang Zui grilling meat after he returned to the cave after collecting. He was a little surprised and asked, "Xiao Zui, why did you come back so soon? Are you getting along well with the cubs in the tribe?"
"not good."
These two words stunned Bai Qi instantly!
Bai Qi quickly walked up to Jiang Zui and asked, "What happened today? Did you feel wronged? Tell me, and I'll beat them up."
Bai Qi's eyes were filled with worry. Jiang Zui looked at Bai Qi's nervous expression and pursed his lips. His face turned pale and he pretended to be tough and said, "Qi...Brother Qi, I...I'm fine..."
Jiang Zui said that he was fine, but his behavior and expression did not indicate that he was fine at all.
Bai Qi kept asking Jiang Zui, and finally Jiang Zui was forced to tell him what happened today.
"Brother Qi...can I call you that?" Jiang Zui asked, staring at Bai Qi with his sparkling eyes.
Bai Qi's heart couldn't take it anymore, it started beating hard, his eyes were a little evasive, hesitantly said: "Why...why do you want to call me like that? Just Qi...Brother Qi will do."
As Bai Qi spoke, the blush on his cheeks grew. In fact, calling him "Brother Qi" sounded a little shy to him.
Jiang Zui: "Hudong and the others call you that. They can, so why can't I?"
After hearing this, Bai Qi didn't know what to do for a moment.
He never noticed that the way the little cubs including Hu Dong addressed him was a little strange.
But why does it feel so awkward to hear Jiang Zui call me...?
Bai Qi didn't think deeply about it.
Jiang Zui continued, "Brother Qi, Hu Dong said that he will be your second partner when he grows up. Is this true?"
"I...I...don't listen to Hu Dong's nonsense. I haven't thought about finding a partner at all now." Bai Qi said awkwardly.
"Brother Qi, I heard from them that after this winter, you will form a partnership with the Lion Clan leader Shiye. If you are with Shiye, will you still be as good to me as you are now?"
When Bai Qi heard this, his heart instantly relaxed. He knew that Jiang Zui had been wandering since he was born and he lacked a sense of security.
Jiang Zui finally met him, and he was worried that he would ignore him because of his partner.
Bai Qi looked at Jiang Zui tenderly, "Don't worry, I will. Whether I have a partner or not, I will treat you well."
"But... if you have a partner, will your partner let me stay with you? At that time, if your partner says bad things about me in front of you, will you... will you believe me?" Jiang Zui's eyes were slightly red and he choked up when he said this.
"Believe it." Bai Qi assured Jiang Zui, "Don't worry, Xiao Zui, no one can compare to you in my heart."
In fact, Bai Qi felt a little guilty when he said this. An orc he had just known for a few days could not be comparable to his father, his brother, his family, and even his tribe.
But in order to appease the sensitive Jiang Zui, he had no choice but to tell a lie.
I hope the Beast God can bless him. He just told a sincere lie to save a child.
