Chapter 429
Names (1)
âWeâre talking about⊠Wait, who is this human? Is thisâŠâ They began to answer the question when the noticed the question came from a human teenager.
Yep, this was the legendary âMasterâ, proven by the three girls around him- Tigress, Athen and Taeya whom everyone knew.
âTaiya, youâve finally made time to come!â sneered one of the people at the meeting.
Tigress shook her head. âNot really, but I have no choice.â
ââŠâ The other person was speechless for a moment, not expecting this answer at all. She literally admitted to not wanting to come.
Ye Lang saw him too, though when his eyes landed on this important person, Ye Langâs eyes never left.
âWhat are you looking at?!â huffed the important person. He had already disliked Ye Lang before this for distracting his daughter, now the kid is staring at him?!
âIâm looking at youâŠâ Ye Lang replied honestly.
âWhatâs there to look at?â
This kidâs gotta stop whatever heâs doing.
Ye Lang smiled. âYour headâs what Iâm looking at!â
ââŠâ
Well, he was indeed looking at his tiger head.
The man couldnât help but lift his chin a little higher, looking haughty for a moment⊠though his moment was about to be ruined.
âAre you wearing a mask?â Ye Lang asked.
âEh?!â the important person gasped.
âMasterâŠâ Tigress subtly tugged at him. She knew what he was about to ask.
âYour tiger mask looks amazing, very realistic! Can you get me one too?â
ââŠâ
âMask?! This is my head, MY HEAD!â he roared⊠Then realised he had lost his composure and immediately rearranged himself.
Breathe⊠Breathe⊠How can I lose my cool over a human kidâŠ
âYour head? Really?â Ye Lang asked.
âYes, absolutely!â he was proud too. His head was the source of his pride. Them beastmen were not just magnificent, they were powerful!
âYou look exactly like an animal from this angle, you donât have any human traits at all!â Ye Lang blurted.
ââŠâ
âMaster, please be polite. Heâs the chief of the tiger tribe and heâs also my father!â said Tigress gently, revealing this personâs identity and also her own.
âThe chief? Your father? Tigress, arenât you the princess then?â Ye Lang asked, stunned. He didnât care about anything else other than Tigress.
As one of the largest tribes of the beastmen, the tiger tribe was as powerful as a large nation. This meant Tigress was from a very powerful background.
âI guess, though weâre different from humans. The chiefâs daughter does not have any privileges, we all have to rely on our own strengths,â she nodded.
As per her words, the beastmen did not just look at bloodlines, an individualâs capabilities were more important!
Of course, being the chiefâs daughter made things easier sometimes. It was easier for her to stand out from the crowd and would have more access to opportunities than other people.
Then again, she had the protection of her father if anything happened to her so it wasnât true she didnât have any privileges.
âOh, I see! I have a question. Why do you both look so different? Is he really your father?â Ye Lang asked very directly. This was what he thought, something many people wondered too.
There were too many differences between them, from their looks to their animal characteristics. Other than her ears and tail, Tigress did not have any other outer, physical animal characteristics.
Her stature was far different from his too. Her father was tall and muscular, she was short and just adorable.
How could they be related at all?
âMaster⊠Youâve read books about beastmen, you should knowâŠâ huffed Tigress. She didnât scold him despite the idiotic remark he just made.
âI have! According to historical records, ancient beastmen didnât just have tiger heads, they could literally be half an animal! However, most of the beastmen resembled humans now, and bear fewer animal features. Most only have the ears and the tail. Your fatherâs features are very rare! Also, if heâs the father, itâs also very rare for him to produce a child like you. Youâre both too differentâŠâ Ye Lang was still very suspicious. For the first time in her life, Tigress wanted to smack him.
Only gentlyâŠ
ââŠâ The chief was silent. There was a flash of an odd expression but he immediately raged, âYou, boy, who are you to question us? Youâve got to answer to me first, weâve got unfinished business! Youâve got nerve questioning me, son!â
âSorry, what?â Ye Lang didnât understand. âIâm sure this is the first time Iâve met you, what do you mean unfinished business?â
âIâm talking about my daughter! What drug did you use on my daughter, I canât believe she gave up this opportunity all for you!â roared the chief.
â??â Ye Lang was very confused, he didnât know what the chief was talking about at all.
At this point, Tigress spoke up. âFather, letâs not talk about this anymore. Iâve never even wanted to go in the first place!â
âTigress, what are you talking about?â asked Ye Lang.
âKid, havenât you figured it out already? This mock war was for us to pick a few people to send to the City of Beast Gods, for cultivation!â explained the chief.
âCity of Beast Gods? The mysterious city that only appears once in a century?â asked Ye Lang.
âIndeed! This is the pride of the beastmen, a place everyone dreams of visiting. I have trained there myself, that place is⊠What I mean is, this place would be very useful for their life ahead!â said the chief.
Ye Lang finally understood what Athena was referring to when she said Tigress was giving up this opportunity. Tigress had given up the opportunity to enter the City of Beast Gods.
Every hundred years, the mysterious city would appear and open their gates to welcome the representatives of the beastmen. Other than high-level officials who participated in prayer rituals, a group of talented young adults would be sent into the city too. After the prayers were complete, they would stay to cultivate their inner strengths and capabilities.
