"hm... nyan~~" A soft sigh echoed from the rosy lips of a beauty with short orange hair and bright green eyes.
If Qingyi had been there, he would have recognized her as Linyue, youngest princess of the Cat Folk tribe.
She was in her bedroom, primitive for many other peoples, but a large and luxurious residence for the Cat People.
Lying on her bed, she turned over as she stretched, arching her back slightly, her large tits squeezing against the bed as her ass rose majestically.
After another moment like that, she sighed, got up and walked to another room, where the corpse of a huge spirit beast she had hunted a few hours ago lay.
It was a giant fire wolf over twenty meters long from tail to snout, a true monster in size and power.
Approaching, Linyue gave a gentle push and jumped onto the corpse of the beast, flipping in the air and landing elegantly on top of it.
"Ah... you were a pretty tough bastard to catch, huh?" She smiled, holding out her hands as her nails lengthened into sharp claws.
Her voice was sweet, high and soft.
In the blink of an eye, she made two movements, and ten small lines of wind Qi spread across the carcass.
In the next second, the skin split open, revealing the bloody flesh underneath.
Obviously, Linyue didn’t need to do things like that. Even with the primitive appearance of her tribe, they were still a people of incomparable wealth, with coffers containing sums so large that a nation like the Blue Sea kingdom could barely imagine.
Even so, she worked carefully, ensuring that not a single part of that beast would go to waste.
The eyes could be used for medicine, the fur for clothing and defensive artifacts, the Qi core to power arrays, the bones to make weapons and the blood for alchemy.
After a few hours of work, Linyue finally finished, giving a proud smile as she looked at everything she had managed to take from the wolf.
She was truly the one destined to be the best hunter in her tribe.
"Ah... why does Dad want me to get married so soon... I should just go straight into the competition and show those bastards what a real hunter is like!"
A big smile took over Linyue’s beautiful, delicate face as an idea popped into her mind.
Her next husband would be the one who got the best hunt, but no one could get the best hunt if she had already taken the best hunt, right?
After a short moment, Linyue prepared to go out and tell her father that she would also be taking part in the great hunt, but fortunately, it wasn’t necessary and soon, a powerful figure entered the place.
He was a cat man, but honestly, he looked more like a lion, over two meters tall, with a physique more suited to pure brute power than speed and agility. His broad, powerful shoulders wore the skin of a tiger as a cape.
That was Tai’Ren, the patriarch of the cat folk, a man whose cultivation was so deep that a single punch from him could erase a mountain.
He was at this moment totally suppressing his energy, but if he wasn’t, any observer would only need an instant to realize: that was an ancestral emperor.
"Father!" Linyue ran excitedly up to him, her eyes shining with excitement.
"You cheeky girl, I know that smile, what are you up to, eh?" Tai’Ren questioned, but there was no irritation in his voice. On the contrary, he watched Linyue with intense pride.
"Simple, I’m going to take part in the great hunt! The best hunter will become my husband, right? Well, if I’m the best hunter, there won’t be anyone to be my husband!"
Tai’Ren heard those words, his face taking on a slight frown before he sighed.
He even thought about speaking out against it, but he’d been that girl’s father long enough to know that it was no use.
The moment she put that idea into his head, that was exactly what she would do.
"If you manage to defeat every one of our young hunters, I’ll think about your case," Tai’Ren said, watching his daughter’s face take on a deep glow.
"Now get ready, the event will start soon, you’ll do the opening slaughter."
"Okay dad!" Linyue said, wiping the blood from her body, changing her clothes and finally running to her room, where her servants began the preparation for the opening slaughter.
Her body was covered in a soft, shiny paint, which strangely made her look even more sensual than before.
Her hair was carefully decorated, as were her robes and even her feline ears.
When she had finished, she gave a big smile, looking at herself in the mirror before following the servants.
Her appearance had to be covered by a veil and she was quickly taken from the city to the large central arena where the start of the event would be announced.
There were still a few hours to go, so she had to wait a while, spending her time throwing knives and eating some snacks she had prepared beforehand.
When the arena finally filled up and Linyue’s sharp hearing picked up the sounds of the crowd outside, she stood up, preparing herself for a short moment before leaving the small place where she was standing.
She appeared on the large central platform of the arena, which seemed to have been carved out of stone, covering more than five square kilometers.
Although the great hunt only had around a thousand participants, that arena was now filled with more than two hundred thousand people, almost half of all the citizens of the Cat People tribe.
"Uh... Nyan..." Linyue inhaled before exhaling heavily, her eyes sweeping over those watching.
She could see many familiar gazes falling on her, from the rich young masters of her tribe to the powerful elders, all watching her with interest.
Suddenly, her brief gaze stopped, filled with a deep tremor as she caught the gaze of one of the many young men in the audience.
It was a burning, penetrating gaze, beautiful dark eyes that seemed to see beyond her soul, adorning a face of incomparable beauty.
Linyue looked away, a soft red spreading across her cheeks.
