At the entrance of Watson tribe’s territory, a large number of orcs and females had already gathered. Chief Ge Xing had been carried out by Ge Tai and seated on a sun-warmed stone, where he comfortably squinted his eyes and dozed off.
Naima spread a thin strip of beast skin over his legs, craned her neck to look at the edge of the dense forest, and turned to ask Ge Tai, "They’re not here yet?"
Ge Tai helplessly shook his head. That was the fifth time Naima asked him the same question in a short while.
Suddenly, an orc murmured in a low voice, "They’re here."
Everyone held their breath and looked. Sure enough, a group of unfamiliar orcs led by a slightly effeminate snake orc was approaching them.
Stopping about fifty meters away from the entrance, a young orc with a flurry of blue-black hair behind him, a clean white face, and an air of high status in the Tumang tribe walked forward. His appearance made the young females remaining in the tribe dazzle in anticipation.
Clearly satisfied by the reaction he evoked from the females, Ya Li revealed a hint of a smile, "Chief Ge Xing, all the Fruits of Divine Punishment from our tribal territory are here."
With this, he waved his hand backward, and a group of orcs carrying wrapped beast skins moved forward. They placed their bundles between both tribes, opened the packages, and then backed back into their group.
Ya Li then spread his hands, "The goods for exchange are here. I wonder if I can now take Ya Gu away."
Ge Xing deeply observed the young orc before him, who projected an extraordinary aura. He caught Ge Tai’s eye, nodded and said, "Yes, you will see him soon. I haven’t seen you before, are you son of Lu Te?"
Ya Li shook his head: "No, I am not the chieftain’s son, I am a disciple of Shaman Benny."
And the next shaman of Tumang Tribe.
Although Ya Li did not say this out loud, his ambition-filled eyes clearly expressed the notion.
Ge Xing seemingly ignoring his ambition, calmly nodded: "I see."
"Father, I have brought Ya Gu." Ge Tai swung the orc in his hand.
Ge Xing glanced at him with mild amusement, "Hand him over."
Ge Tai nodded and walked to the middle, throwing Ya Gu on the ground with a jerk.
Seeing Ya Gu’s utterly powerless state, Ya Li looked at Ge Xing and asked, "Chief Ge Xing, could you undo this medicine for my brother?"
Ge Xing casually waved his hand, "You can rest assured, it just left him temporarily weak, the effects are already fading after one day, he should be fine by this afternoon."
"Hmm~ who knows···"
"Mo Qi! Take care of Ya Gu." Just as Mo Qi was about to step forward and argue, Ya Li stopped him, his voice devoid of any emotion.
Mo Qi glared fiercely at the orc of the Watson Tribe and stomped off to the back.
Ya Li took a few steps forward, the corner of his mouth curving upwards into a smile, "Chief Ge Xing, I’ve taken a liking to one of the females from the Watson tribe. I hope you can agree to let her come with me to the Tumang tribe. Of course, I’ve brought enough game as an exchange."
The orcs from the Tumang tribe brought forward the game they had brought at his words.
The pile of game was enough to form a small hill, leaving the young females of the Watson tribe wide-eyed. This much food would be enough for a female to eat throughout the winter and still have leftovers.
The females exchanged doubtful glances, wondering who among them was lucky enough to have caught the fancy of this strong and handsome orc. Taking him as a mate would certainly not be a bad deal.
Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan also arrived at the entrance at this moment, just in time to overhear Ya Li’s words.
A vague premonition arose in Ji Nuan’s heart, while Xiu Yan grudgingly watched the snake orc from afar.
He’d only casually mentioned it once, he hadn’t thought the snake orc would really come.
"Oh?" Ge Xing looked at him somewhat surprised, "Which female? If she agrees, of course, I would have no issue."
As if! If they dared to leave, he’d break their legs!
The statement startled the orcs of the Watson Tribe, and they all shielded their females, staring at Ya Li in an alert manner.
Ge Xing’s words brought a gleam of delight in Ya Li’s eyes, he looked over the orcs of the Watson Tribe, suddenly his eyes lit up, a smile appearing on his face as he pointed in one direction, "It’s her!"
Seeing he hadn’t pointed out their females, the Watson tribe orcs sighed in relief.
Then they watched the chosen female with a schadenfreude gaze, feeling sorry for her partner.
But the sight that presented itself made their expressions strange, and they looked at the delighted orc, standing in front of the Tumang tribe, with a bewildering gaze.
Although there were instances of orcs forming partners within the tribe, this one...
They sneakily glanced towards the pointed direction, at the silver-haired orc.
Were you really trying to take back such a powerful Silver Wolf Orc? Are you not afraid for your life?
