350: Chapter 26 Can I have a female?

Yun Tiankai: ...

Yun Tiankai turned her head and blinked at Tang Longyan in confusion.

Tang Longyan's expression was solemn and his tone serious as he said, "Your voice is so loud, and these Male Beastmen have excellent hearing; they will definitely hear you."

Yun Tiankai: ...

She wanted them to hear her!

Could he not tell that her movements and tone were both incredibly exaggerated?

If she really wanted to tell She Lin something in secret, she would have called him to a safe place alone.

She certainly wouldn't do it in front of so many Male Beastmen!

Yun Tiankai felt that Tang Longyan was truly an honest child.

Since he had stopped her, she would just have to play along.

Yun Tiankai lowered her gaze, her eyes falling on Tang Longyan's large hand covering her mouth.

Belatedly realizing, Tang Longyan quickly withdrew his hand.

The tips of his ears instantly turned red.

Yun Tiankai thought: How fun!

Yun Tiankai cleared her throat and said, "Since everyone has heard, then I will convey the wishes of the Female Beastmen."

She deliberately emphasized that it was the Female Beastmen's wish, not Tang Longyan's.

She wanted the Male Beastmen to understand that what followed was not an order being handed down to them by Tang Longyan.

Yun Tiankai continued, "The Female Beastmen want to establish a Tribe near the lake.

But because the Female Beastmen have relatively less physical strength, it is difficult to complete.

We hope some Male Beastmen will go over to help."

After she finished speaking, the Male Beastmen fell into a long silence.

After a long while, Yun Tiankai realized they were all stealing glances at Tang Longyan.

Several opened their mouths as if they had something to say but didn't dare to speak.

Yun Tiankai tugged on Tang Longyan's arm.

He leaned down, and she whispered a few words in his ear.

This time, Yun Tiankai's voice was truly very soft.

Only Bao Hen, who was closest to them, heard her.

Bao Hen couldn't help but glance at Yun Tiankai: This Female Beastman is not only beautiful but also very clever.

"I have learned this before," Tang Longyan said, his tone full of confidence.

Yun Tiankai: ...

From his response alone, she knew he hadn't learned it well at all.

Tang Longyan cleared his throat and, imitating Fourth Father, said, "If anyone has questions, you may speak freely now.

I shall grant you immunity!"

Yun Tiankai: Great! He even learned the archaic version!

Yun Tiankai looked at the crowd with a grin: "I'll give you three minutes. Speak up!"

Hearing there was a time limit, the Male Beastmen scrambled to express their opinions.

"If we go to help, can we get any benefits?"

Yun Tiankai smiled. "None."

"After helping, can I take my Mistress away?"

Yun Tiankai: "No."

"Then if I help, can you give me a Female Beastman?"

Yun Tiankai looked at that Male Beastman and narrowed her eyes slightly.

Instantly, a half-meter-high flame flared up at the Male Beastman's feet.

The Male Beastman screamed in terror and stumbled back several steps.

Yun Tiankai turned back to see Tang Longyan staring at the Male Beastman with an displeased expression.

Yun Tiankai thought: He really is a Male Beastman who protects Female Beastmen.

Yun Tiankai was afraid he would scare all these Male Beastmen away, so she hurriedly patted his arm soothingly and said, "There's no need for Lord Longyan to take action; I can handle this."

Hearing this, Tang Longyan lowered his eyes to look at her.

She was going to deal with that Male Beastman?

Was she going to use that strange-looking stick she used that day?

Speaking of which, because Yun Tiankai had a space, he had always regarded her as a High-level Beastman.

However, he had never seen her use any Supernatural Ability.

Yun Tiankai beckoned to the Male Beastman who had been scared off by the flame. "Come here, I promise I won't hurt you."

The somewhat scrawny Male Beastman looked at Tang Longyan.

Under the pressure of Tang Longyan's blood-red pupils, he had no choice but to slowly shuffle toward Yun Tiankai.

At a distance of about three meters from her.

Yun Tiankai raised her hand. "Alright, this distance is fine."

The Male Beastman eyed her cautiously. "Lord... what are your orders?"

Yun Tiankai put her hands on her hips. "Are you dreaming?"

You want a Mistress just for helping out?

If you go out to hunt once, am I supposed to provide your meals for a whole year?"

Yun Tiankai's words drew loud laughter from many of the Male Beastmen.

The Male Beastman was a bit indignant. "Well, I can't work for nothing!"

Yun Tiankai: "Then you don't have to do it!

Female Beastmen are so rare; there are plenty of strong and capable Male Beastmen who would love to leave a good impression on them.

You haven't contributed anything!

Yet you're already thinking about rewards."

As Yun Tiankai spoke, her gaze swept across the gathered Male Beastmen.

She thought her words would resonate with them.

Because even though she knew this Beast World was completely different from the Beast World novels she had read,

the males should at least understand that only by providing for the females can they gain their favor!

However, she didn't see any reaction on their faces.

Some even showed a hint of confusion.

Perhaps, in their eyes,

Female Beastmen didn't need to like them; as long as they could snatch them, it was enough.

Yun Tiankai sighed silently and stopped wasting time.

Changing their attitude toward Female Beastmen wasn't something that could be done overnight.

"Now, those who want to help, follow me!"

As she spoke, she waved her hand and turned around.

She Lin immediately stood up and took a few quick steps to catch up.

Bao Hen's steps were steady, and he followed lightly.

After walking for a while.

Yun Tiankai suddenly stopped.

Tang Longyan looked at her. "What's wrong?"

Yun Tiankai didn't turn around. "How many people followed?"

"Two."

Tang Longyan had heard it just now; there were only the footsteps of two Male Beastmen.

Yun Tiankai deliberately stood there for a few more minutes.

"And now?"

Tang Longyan: "Two."

Yun Tiankai: ...

"A bunch of freeloaders!

I really didn't expect that even in the Beast—even here, there are still freeloaders!" she said angrily.

"What is a freeloader?" Tang Longyan asked.

Yun Tiankai: "It's a Male Beastman who wants to be with a Female Beastman without contributing anything to her."

Tang Longyan thought for a moment and asked seriously, "Then what counts as contributing?"

Yun Tiankai thought of those harrassing men who liked to ask girls about their breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as if the other person couldn't eat without their 'greetings'.

And those 'overbearing beggars' who sent a 5.2 yuan red envelope on holidays and then wanted to fine their girlfriends if they got angry.

She said casually, "You have to give real, tangible things, not just hypocritical greetings and fake concern."

Tang Longyan's brow furrowed; he didn't quite understand.

How could concern be considered hypocritical?

His siblings, mothers, fathers, the various City Lords, and the Old Witch Doctor—their concern for him was all sincere.

However, he understood the first half of the sentence.

Real, tangible things.

After She Lin arrived, he immediately ran to Zhu Zhu's side and began helping her work.

He seemed afraid that if he did too little, he would be driven away by Tang Longyan.

Bao Hen walked toward Bao Yang.

Bao Yang's expression seemed a bit nervous.

She probably hadn't expected a strange Male Beastman to appear here.

Even less did she expect that Male Beastman to be from the Leopard Tribe!

Behind their ears, they both had the iconic spotted patterns of the Leopard Tribe.

It was just that this Male Beastman named Bao Hen had exceptionally clear and distinct markings.

They worked until the sun began to set.

The Female Beastmen decided to eat and rest.

Zhu Zhu looked at Yun Tiankai, and Bao Hen also looked at Bao Yang with a hint of anticipation.

Clearly, they both wanted to stay for a meal.

But Yun Tiankai had already instructed Tang Longyan—

"You can leave now."

When his voice was devoid of emotion, just a glance from him could strike fear into one's heart.

Hearing Tang Longyan's words, She Lin and Bao Hen walked away dejectedly.

"Wait a minute!"
