Long Qingyi smiled as he saw Linyue’s reaction, his eyes roaming over her curves, lingering on her thick, creamy thighs and her large, heavy breasts.
Unfortunately, something else soon took his attention as a lone figure appeared at the top of the stands, in one of the highest and most luxurious boxes.
It was a towering man with broad shoulders, white hair and feline ears marked by horrible scars.
Qingyi couldn’t sense even a thread of Qi in that man, even when he activated his draconic eyes.
It was like a deep, endless darkness.
"Look... it’s Patriarch Tai’Ren!"
"I’ve heard that he’s at the peak of the ancestral emperor realm, one of the most powerful in the entire Beast Men Land!"
"So powerful!"
Murmurs echoed around Qingyi, who sighed.
So that was the father of his future wife. Qingyi hoped he was an open-minded man.
"It’s good to see so many friendly faces here. Even after ten thousand years of life, none of my children has ever failed to make me a happy man, my dear Linyue will be no different.
The man who gets the best hunt today will be the one who marries my dear daughter. May the heavens bless you and may the great divine beast protect you."
The moment Tai’Ren’s voice fell silent, a figure broke through the skies, falling to the ground with a crash powerful enough to make the whole arena shake.
It was a giant white tiger, its blue eyes carrying a deep glow as it advanced towards Linyue.
The voluptuous cat girl leapt up, her breasts swaying as her body spun in the air, the tiger’s claws passing inches from her face.
The beast stumbled, its ten-ton body crashing to the ground.
Linyue didn’t even seem to take the beast seriously, landing elegantly on its huge feline head and even clasping her hands behind her back.
The tiger could only roar angrily, spinning its body around and trying to swallow Linyue, only to find nothing but empty air.
Linyue was already beneath it, her nails extending into sharp claws, aiming for the tiger’s paws.
In the next moment, the tiger went down, a pain-filled roar escaping as it collapsed under the weight of its own body.
Linyue then raised a single hand, a spear appearing in her grip.
Taking careful aim, she threw, and the spear tore through the air with absurd speed, landing exactly on the beast’s temple, killing it.
Obviously, she could have done this from the start, without having to use her agility to humiliate the beast like that.
But in the end, it was a show. She also needed to cheer up the audience, which of course she did, with lots of excited shouts echoing all around.
She turned her face again, staring at that young man.
He was still watching her, with the same strength and intensity as before - no, with even more intensity.
Linyue looked away, patting her own face.
’Focus, this is no time to think about useless things!’ she shouted in her own mind.
She was confused as to why she was reacting like that to that young man’s gaze, but now she had something else in mind.
Qingyi just shook his head at the sight, smiling softly.
His eyes floated to his status screen, taking a look at his earnings.
[Name: Long Qingyi
Age: 21
Cultivation: First stage of the flowing meridian realm (15,000,000,000 lust points to upgrade)
Affinities: Lightning: 248 - Sword: 257 - Fire: 234 - Ice: 223 - Charm: 1000 (can be upgraded in the lust store)

Constitution: Primordial Dragon Body (Gold grade, 10,000,000,000 lust points to upgrade.)
Lust points: 6,103,529,131]
That was all he had achieved in seven days just by farming lust points. Qingyi was honestly a little disappointed.
The lust points he had earned from Margareth had reached their minimum value and now he was just scrambling to get more.
At least he had managed to upgrade his spiritual root to earth level, something his wives would soon be able to do.
After all, Feiyan had finally reached a level where she could produce earth-grade spirit root, lineage and constitution enhancement pills pure enough for his wives to use safely.
In the meantime, she had naturally produced many pills that were good enough to sell, but far from usable for Qingyi’s wives.
He was still thinking about how to get rid of those, but for now, he had something else to worry about.
"All those who will take part in the great hunt, ahead," Tai’Ren declared, watching as more than a thousand young people jumped into the arena. Only 50 of these were members of other races, all the others were cat people.
They lined up neatly, facing Tai’Ren. It only took them a brief moment to realize something.
Why on earth hadn’t Linyue left the arena yet? What was she waiting for?
After a single second, everyone there began to realize: she was also going to take part in the hunt.
But why on earth would she do something like that? This was a hunt to find her next husband, what was the point of her taking part?
The young people’s minds raced endlessly until they finally found a possibility; Linyue wanted to take first place and not let anyone else be her husband.
"Pay attention," Tai’Ren’s voice snapped all the young people out of their stupor.
"From now on, the great hunt will begin. You will have the entire patriarch’s forest to hunt and a total of twenty-four hours.
After twenty-four hours, the hunt will be over and anyone who hasn’t arrived here within two hours will be disqualified.
I will judge the hunted beasts personally and first place will receive not only my daughter’s hand in marriage, but also the chance to be personally instructed by me."
The moment Tai’Ren’s voice fell silent, one of the arena’s walls opened, revealing a large passageway that overlooked a dense forest.
"Begin!"
