3: Chapter 3 From Useless Female to Holy Female

Raising her eyes, she looked directly into a pair of gilded beast pupils.

It was Qiu Rong!

Bai Wanwan's breath hitched as memories flooded back like a tide.

Searing palms wandering over her skin, muscle lines hard as rock, and a tireless, ferocious assault...

Last night, he practically wanted to tear her apart and devour her.

Bai Wanwan hurriedly cut off her thoughts, but her legs went weak uncontrollably.

Qiu Rong's gaze was as sharp as a blade, a dangerous haze churning within his golden pupils.

He was suspecting her!

In a flash, Bai Wanwan's mind whirled, and she broke into a bright smile, meeting his gaze candidly.

This unflinching eye contact made Qiu Rong frown deeply before he finally... shifted his gaze away.

The beastmen in the cave were praying devoutly, but only Qiu Rong was distracted, scanning every Female in the cave.

After observing for a while, Bai Wanwan felt slightly more at ease.

It seemed peanut had indeed erased her traces; Qiu Rong wasn't certain who the Female from last night was and was merely suspecting everyone indiscriminately.

"Hu Ya, step forward for the test."

Hu Ya walked with her head held high to the stone basin to wash her hands, then respectfully picked up the female stone.

The stone, which had only emitted a faint glimmer in the hands of low-level Females, suddenly burst with blinding light, turning from white to yellow, then orange-red, finally settling on a brilliant crimson.

"The beast god's blessing!"

The usually solemn Clan Witch's voice trembled with excitement, "The Tribe has finally welcomed another Female with superior fertility!"

The Clan Leader's eyes filled with tears as he immediately announced, "The Female Hu Ya will have the right of first choice for a Beast Husband, and may select one from the Tribe's bravest Males!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the cave erupted in excitement.

The Males scrambled to express their love:

"Ya Ya, let me be your first Beast Husband!"

"I can hunt the fattest Snow Beast for you, choose me!"

"Choose me..."

"Ya Ya..."

...

The testing wasn't even over yet, but the scene had clearly turned into a husband-selection assembly for Hu Ya.

She looked around proudly, her burning gaze finally fixing on Qiu Rong.

"My first litter of Cubs must inherit your strongest bloodline. Qiu Rong, are you willing?"

"Hu Ya, he's just an outsider beastman, he's not worthy of you at all," a Male shouted indignantly.

"Ya Ya, I am your best choice!"

Bai Wanwan watched this primitive and blunt courtship ritual with great interest.

Relying on the original host's memories, she knew all too well the fatal attraction superior fertility held for Males.

She couldn't help but wonder, would Qiu Rong be tempted?

But she saw Qiu Rong didn't hesitate for a moment as he spoke directly, "I refuse."

Hu Ya's smile froze on her face. "I can let you be my first Beast Husband."

"I will not stay, and I certainly won't become your Beast Husband."

After saying this, Qiu Rong turned to walk out.

But as he withdrew his gaze, it swept over Bai Wanwan almost imperceptibly.

He had already heard that the Clan Leader had been looking for Bai Wanwan all night.

Could the Female from last night be her?

If it were her... a flash of killing intent crossed Qiu Rong's eyes.

Being rejected in public caused Hu Ya to lose face completely. She glared venomously at Bai Wanwan and lowered her voice, "If I can't have it, don't even think about getting it either!"

Hu Ya knew very well that Bai Wanwan liked Qiu Rong just as much as she did.

As long as Bai Wanwan was sent to the Female Cave, she wouldn't stand a chance with Qiu Rong or going to the Super Tribe.

Bai Wanwan didn't retort; instead, she returned a brilliant smile.

How had she not "gotten" him?

She had actually "gotten" him five times.

It was just too ecstatic; her muscles were still aching all over.

Shamed into anger, Hu Ya immediately chose a few of her most fervent pursuers as her Beast Husbands.

"Bai Wanwan, step forward for the test."

When the Clan Witch called her, many beastmen were already losing interest and preparing to leave.

Bai Wanwan stepped forward, washing her hands and picking up the stone with crisp efficiency.

Hu Ya looked at the unresponsive female stone, an unsurprised smile appearing at the corner of her mouth, when suddenly...

A blinding crimson light erupted!

The entire female stone shook violently and, under everyone's horrified gazes, shattered with a "crack"!

"This..."

The Clan Witch snapped her head up and looked at Bai Wanwan, her eyes filled with utter disbelief.
