"High Priest, you are so amazing!" the little leopard beastman with somewhat fluffy ears looked at Gu Shengyin with admiration.
Gu Shengyin couldn’t resist and reached out to touch his fluffy little ears.
The little leopard’s face turned red in an instant: his mother had told him that only his future female beast could touch them.
However... he blinked at the High Priest, thinking it was alright if it was the High Priest.
With this thought, the little leopard’s face grew even redder.
While the little beastmen were having a great time, the female beasts became worried again. They knew exactly how the High Priest had just done what she did— that was the legendary witch power. Such a precious thing, and the High Priest was using it to play with the little beastmen.
They were happy that the High Priest liked the little beastmen so much, but also began to worry whether this was too wasteful.
Perhaps it was because this group of little ones was too adorable, Gu Shengyin spent the entire afternoon teaching them how to build things they liked out of sand without even realizing it.
As evening approached, the male beasts who had gone hunting returned in groups.
Ores spotted the High Priest, who was in the midst of fun with the little beastmen, at first glance.
The dimming sunlight gently fell on her face, casting a soft halo over her usually indifferent features, not to mention the smile on her face as she was hands-on teaching the little beastmen how to build small houses.
The male beasts of course also saw the High Priest, and they swiftly put down their game, one after another greeting Gu Shengyin with a salute.
Gu Shengyin came to her senses, stood up, and in an instant reverted to the High Priest who was usually unapproachable.
The little beastmen were a bit nervous looking at her, not quite understanding how the gentle and beautiful High Priest they had just seen could suddenly change .
After exchanging a few brief words with the male beasts and asking them to leave, Gu Shengyin turned around to see the little ones staring at her with confused faces.
Had she frightened them? She sighed, winked at them gently, and revealed a comforting smile.
The little beastmen’s faces lit up with joy once again: the High Priest was still their gentle lord.
Ovis couldn’t help but look back and caught the moment when Gu Shengyin was winking and smiling at the little beastmen, engraving the image of the High Priest, so different from her everyday persona, deep into his mind.
The High Priest is truly beautiful.
So, she really likes the little beastmen that much.
Something crossed Ovis’s mind, and suddenly his face turned red.
At dinner, Gu Shengyin once again surprised the beastmen of the Owl Clan: the High Priest, who always waited for her food to be brought to her room, actually came out herself!
The dinner of the Owl Clan was a communal event for the entire tribe.
At night, the entire tribe gathered around lively bonfires, with the beastmen who had been busy all day sitting leisurely on the grass, ready to enjoy their spoils.
Game was roasting over the fire, emitting an enticing aroma, and a large copper pot glowed red-hot, filled with big chunks of beast flesh and some fresh-smelling wild vegetables.
Upon seeing Gu Shengyin’s arrival, the beastmen quickly made space for her in the middle and meticulously, a female beast laid a thick layer of beast skin on the grass— the High Priest’s frail body was well-known throughout the tribe.
Gu Shengyin had chosen this moment to announce a piece of news.
