22: Chapter 22 Watching the Show

Roger had changed into a more ornate beast skin.

It had a dark base color but featured silver patterns. The colorful feathers in his hair were gone, replaced by a single bone hairpin.

It was simple, making him look slightly more pleasing to the eye than the peacock-like display he had put on yesterday.

When Xin Feng and Bai Wanwan walked in, he was sitting as casually as if he were in his own home.

"Do you know how to use flint?"

He raised a hand and gestured toward the small grill that had been set up temporarily yesterday.

But no one answered him. Xin Feng set down the stone basin filled with fish and shrimp and shifted his body to block Bai Wanwan behind him.

He looked at Roger and asked, "Why are you here?"

Xin Feng's actions were not lost on Roger. The corners of his mouth curled upward, but he didn't answer him, instead looking at Bai Wanwan, who was peeking out from behind him.

"Little Female, I have Yellow-Tier Talent and have not yet entered a Pairing Ceremony. I heard you only have Xin Feng as a Beast Husband. I have a connection with him, so why not have me become your Beast Husband alongside him? What do you think?"

In the Beast World, the value of a Female lies in their fertility, while the value of a Male lies in their combat strength.

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Violet... Violet-Tier is the lowest rank, while Red Tier is a legendary existence within Super Tribes.

In a small Tribe like the Cat Clan, there is almost no Talent above the Blue Tier.

For so many years, they had only produced one Green Tier, Xin Feng, and even he was injured and his Talent was destroyed.

A Yellow-Tier strength could indeed make any Female in a small or medium-sized Tribe swoon, and they might even agree without hesitation.

Xin Feng's hand, hanging at his side, clenched into a fist.

"Roger, this is between us. Do not drag Wan Wan into it."

His nervousness and anger made Roger find it even more interesting.

"The Little Female is so beautiful and cute, and I happen to be looking to enter a Pairing Ceremony. Little Female, how about I become your Beast Husband?"

The scene fell silent for a moment, and a dangerous, tense atmosphere developed between the two Males.

Bai Wanwan's voice quickly broke the silence. "It doesn't sound good at all. My Beast Husband will only be someone I like. As it happens, not only do I not like your type, but I actually quite dislike it."

The provocative smile on Roger's face instantly froze.

He was actually just trying to provoke Xin Feng. He had imagined that Xin Feng would be angry, but he had never imagined that Bai Wanwan would refuse.

For so many years, wherever he went, he was always surrounded by Females.

All the Females liked him.

This was the first time he had heard a Female say she disliked him.

He was so angry he laughed, shifting his gaze from Xin Feng's face to Bai Wanwan's.

Just as Bai Wanwan thought he would be angry and wanted to mock him a bit more.

Instead, he didn't play by the rules and simply turned around, grabbed a small box, and held it out to her.

"That might be because you have some misunderstandings about me. No rush; I will be staying in the Cat Clan Tribe for ten more days. You can slowly get to know me."

As he spoke, he opened the box, his attitude becoming very attentive. "These are all trinkets I traded from Large Tribes and Super Tribes. They are very interesting; you will like them."

Bai Wanwan didn't even look at the items in the box, clearly showing no interest whatsoever.

Roger wasn't angry; he simply reached in himself and took out a wooden bird.

Bai Wanwan glanced at it unconsciously and found that the bird was actually quite well-made; not only was the shape good, but it was also painted.

Roger had been observing her reaction; other Females would have had their eyes light up upon seeing such interesting trinkets.

Bai Wanwan gave it a casual look, her gaze not lingering for long.

Roger extended a finger and flicked the bird's beak. The bird suddenly opened its mouth and emitted a series of beautiful music.

A trace of surprise appeared in Bai Wanwan's eyes; she had originally thought it was just a wood carving.

She hadn't expected that the Beastmen of this world would have such clever ideas, being able to make something similar to a music box by hand.

But it was only surprise. As a person from Modern Times, what hadn't she seen?

Seeing that she was uninterested after only a glance of surprise, Roger couldn't help but frown.

He reached into the box again and took out another item. "This is the floral cream most liked by the Females of the Golden Lion Tribe... When Females apply it to their faces, it makes their skin smooth and fragrant..."

Bai Wanwan didn't stop him from talking; she was using him to learn more about this world.

It turned out that outside the Cat Clan Tribe, those Large Tribes didn't seem to be entirely primitive societies; a Large Tribe was probably like a large city.

The Beastmen there had already begun to pursue spiritual enjoyment.

Because Bai Wanwan didn't interrupt him, Roger became more and more animated as he spoke.

Meanwhile, Xin Feng pursed his lips and remained silent.

"Alright, I'm tired of listening. That's enough for today; you can leave."

This made Roger's upbeat tone drop instantly. "What did you say?"

"You introduced them well, but I have no interest in these trinkets. Take them with you."

Xin Feng was actually very nervous; he knew very well that Females usually loved these things.

He wanted to chase Roger away, but he couldn't make decisions for Wan Wan.

Only after hearing Wan Wan's words did Xin Feng speak up to chase him away. "Roger, take your things and leave."

Roger felt he had shown enough sincerity; the trinkets he brought today could be traded for enough supplies for twenty Beastmen to survive the winter.

He hadn't expected the Little Female to chase him away without any hesitation.

A shadow of gloom appeared in his eyes, but it vanished in an instant.

He let out a soft laugh from his nose. "Fine, if you don't like these, I'll bring something else tomorrow. There will be something you like eventually."

Just as Bai Wanwan was about to say it wasn't necessary, Roger had already strode out on his long legs.

Seeing him walk away, Bai Wanwan couldn't help but mutter, "What kind of grudge do you have against him? He actually tried to use such a vicious method to anger you."

She didn't believe in love at first sight.

This is the Beast World; for a Female, the most important thing is fertility.

The Tribe Leader had ordered that no one was to reveal that she was a Sacred Female to anyone from a Foreign Tribe.

Judging by Roger's attitude, he didn't know she was a Sacred Female; his "interest" in her stemmed entirely from his grudge against Xin Feng.

This guy was also messed up; because he had a grudge against Xin Feng, he wanted to be tied to him for life and share a wife.

Forgive her, but she really couldn't understand this guy's way of thinking.

Xin Feng's expression suddenly became a bit strange; he opened his mouth, seeming to want to say something but hesitating.

"Can't you say?"

Although Bai Wanwan asked this, her gossiping instincts were burning.

She was the type of person who would get bored, go out for a stroll every day, and chat for half a day with any Beastman she caught, whether she knew them or not.

This kind of gossip placed right in front of her had been tempting her.

So she definitely wanted to get to the bottom of it.

"Ahem... really can't say?"

Her tone seemed to be asking, but her repeated questioning and her clear gaze meant she was practically ordering Xin Feng to tell her immediately.

Xin Feng looked at her blinking eyes, seeing how curious she was, and shook his head with a smile. "There's nothing that can't be said; it's him who should be embarrassed."

Bai Wanwan was even more curious. "Then tell me, tell me quickly..."
