Chapter 4 Whose Female Are You?
After Yan He took the lead, the rest of the beastmen crowded forward, vying to be tested. Some were happy, some were sad. Those who passed the test were overjoyed and went to choose their favorite males, while those who failed could only wait with a frown, letting the males choose them. “Who hasn’t been tested yet?” Ling Po Po tapped the ground with her cane, her voice hoarse as she yelled. All the females in the field had been tested, only Jiang Li was left.
“Xiao Li, you’re the only one left, go on.” Aunt Mei raised her head and motioned Jiang Li to go for the fertility test. This was a test that every female beastman had to go through, no one could avoid it. Jiang Li took a deep breath, held her head high, and strode towards the fertility stone. Seeing her step forward, the females and males around her widened their eyes, wondering who she belonged to. They had never seen her before. Even Ling Po Po was puzzled and asked her.
“Whose female are you? I’ve never seen you before.” Ling Po Po looked Jiang Li up and down suspiciously, her skin was fair and her features were beautiful, a natural beauty. But how could she not know such a beautiful person? Ling Po Po’s eyes became more and more wary, she even tightened her grip on the cane in her hand, assuming a fighting stance at any moment. She was afraid that she was a female who posed a threat to the bird tribe.
There were not many beastmen in the bird tribe, only a few thousand. But besides those who had not yet transformed into human form, Ling Po Po was responsible for recording the age of each family’s females, so she had seen all the children of each family. But this was the first time she had seen Jiang Li’s appearance, so she was curious and puzzled. Jiang Li opened her mouth, just about to answer, when Aunt Mei squeezed in behind her and answered for her.
“Ling Po, she’s my Xiao Li.” As soon as Aunt Mei’s words came out, everyone in the field widened their eyes in shock, their mouths agape. Their incredulous gazes swept over Jiang Li, accompanied by murmurs of disbelief. “She’s Aunt Mei’s Jiang Li? Are you kidding me?” “I wouldn’t believe it even if you beat me to death, she’s clearly still an underdeveloped quail, how could she become such a beauty?” “Yeah, she didn’t transform into human form for years, how could she suddenly become a human?” Various questions arose.
It was no wonder they questioned it, what they said was not unreasonable. Females in Mingyue transformed into human form between the ages of 10 and 16, and their beast forms were also very healthy and beautiful. But Jiang Li was the opposite, she had just turned eighteen and had only just transformed into human form, not only was her beast form very thin and small, but even the fur on her body was somewhat bald, looking like she was malnourished. No matter how much Aunt Mei supplemented her nutrition, she still looked the same.
Memories came flooding back, constantly rolling around in Jiang Li’s mind. Recalling how the original owner was ridiculed and mocked by the bird tribe people because of her physique, her lack of talent, and her weak spiritual power, it was like needles constantly piercing the original owner’s heart, making her life miserable for years. Apart from Aunt Mei guarding her side, she didn’t even have a confidante, and she could only hide at home like a sinner.
When Jiang Li transmigrated, she happened to be there on the first day the original owner transformed into human form. It was unlucky, the original owner had just transformed into human form and wanted to go out and play, but she was unexpectedly injured and killed by other beastmen, Jiang Li accidentally transmigrated and took over her identity and lived again. “Could it be that Aunt Mei found some forbidden art and made Jiang Li transform into human form?
” With Yan He’s hint, the other beastmen seemed to have awakened their intelligence and all agreed with her words. In the records of the library, there was indeed a “Book of Forbidden Arts” that was sealed by the tribe, which recorded how to quickly improve the spiritual power of beastmen. Aunt Mei, as an elder of the tribe, naturally knew a lot about the arts of the tribe. She also loved Jiang Li, so it was understandable that she would do something that touched upon the forbidden arts.
But forbidden arts were not allowed in the bird tribe, once labeled with this hat, Aunt Mei would suffer the punishment of the bird tribe. Jiang Li clenched her fists, glaring angrily at Yan He and the group of male beastmen who were making a fuss. Did they think she, Jiang Li, was still the same submissive and timid person who didn’t dare to cause trouble or speak up? She didn’t want to be like the original owner, always giving in and backing down, letting these people bully her all the time! “You bunch of people, don’t talk nonsense and slander people! Whether I transformed into human form on my own or with Aunt Mei’s help, Ling Po Po will know at a glance.”
“What if Aunt Mei did use forbidden arts? Jiang Li, what are you going to do?” Yan He snorted disdainfully, looking at me coldly, her eyes full of provocation. Jiang Li glanced at her coldly, then shifted her gaze to the group of male beastmen beside her. “If Aunt Mei really used forbidden arts to help me, I will take all the blame. On the other hand…” Jiang Li quickly scanned the group of males, her cold eyes fixed on Yan He. This face, so sharp and mean. It was really annoying to look at. “If we never touched any forbidden arts, then Princess Yan He should be responsible for what she just said, right?”
“Xiao Li.” Aunt Mei quickly walked to Jiang Li’s side, gently pulled on her arm, her lips pressed against her ear, and said in a voice only they could hear, “Xiao Li, Yan He is after all the bird tribe princess, if we offend her, neither of us will have a good ending, why don’t we just forget about it.” “Forget about it? How can we?” Someone who came from the 21st century, how could the word “forget about it” be in her dictionary?
“Aunt Mei, it was clearly her who slandered you first, how can we just forget about it? If we just forget about it, how will you, who have been in the tribe for decades, save face?” She didn’t want Aunt Mei, who loved her, to bear this undeserved slander for the next few decades. Seeing Jiang Li so persistent, Aunt Mei frowned slightly, she wanted to say that she was already this old, she didn’t care about these things anymore. But Yan He spoke first, “Jiang Li, what do you want?” Jiang Li raised an eyebrow at her and said to her word for word, “I want you to apologize to Aunt Mei.
” These words shocked the other beastmen, even Aunt Mei beside her was stunned. How could a royal family member apologize to a commoner? Even if a royal family member was wrong, they had never bowed their heads and apologized. The beastmen in the field all looked at Jiang Li. They were all wondering, she was always meek and timid, hiding in the crowd and not daring to speak up, how come she suddenly dared to challenge Yan He today?
Did her head get knocked silly when she transformed into human form? Which of these beastmen didn’t know that even if Yan He was wrong, who dared to point it out out of disrespect? After all, these powerful people could take their lives at any moment.
