Thin slices of meat were placed on crisp, tempting leaves, emitting a rich aroma that made one’s mouth water.
However, Gu Shengyin felt somewhat helpless as she said, "That’s enough, Ovis. I’m not as delicate as you think." This man, whenever there was nothing else to do, would inevitably stick close by her side at all times, as if fearing that if he were not around, something would happen to Gu Shengyin.
Ovis didn’t respond to that, but gently handed her the plate he was holding.
His actions clearly seemed to say to Gu Shengyin, "I don’t believe your words."
Gu Shengyin sighed silently, knowing that her appearance likely didn’t hold much persuasive power.
She guessed that if she insisted her health was fine and told the Owl Clan Beastmen not to worry, she might be crafted into a heroic figure who didn’t prioritize her safety for the sake of the tribe.
Gu Shengyin indicated that her image within the Owl Clan was already glowing enough; she guessed that if she now incited the Owl Clan to abandon their faith in the Beast God, she would have a group of fervent followers who would support her without hesitation.
"It’ll be soon," Ovis suddenly said.
Two years of time and the Baptism of war had endowed him with a charm that the passage of time and experiences bestow. When he looked at her with those captivating dark golden eyes, even Gu Shengyin often couldn’t help but succumb to them.
For this man, his desire for her was increasingly hard to hide.
Even within the Owl Clan, many had already discerned the Clan Leader’s feelings towards the High Priest.
If it were someone else, certainly many warriors of the Owl Clan wouldn’t mind challenging that person—daring to covet the High Priest, they’d have to get past all our tribe’s male beasts first!
However, if that person were Lord Ovis, the Clan Leader, the Owl Clan’s warriors said: This matter would solely depend on the High Priest’s own wishes.
During these days’ wars, Ovis had led from the front in almost every battle, showing all the Beastmen his formidable fighting prowess.
Horrifyingly powerful!
The warriors of the Beast Race stated that even if they all attacked together, they might not be a match for the Clan Leader.
If the High Priest needed to choose a male beast to become her mate, then a male beast as powerful as Clan Leader Ovis was the prime choice.
Thinking this way, it seemed not too hard to accept.
Thus, Ovis had already silently won the admiration and genuine recognition of all the Owl Clan people through numerous battles.
Gu Shengyin lowered her eyes.
Ovis suddenly came closer, his intense male beast scent enveloping Gu Shengyin completely.
Gu Shengyin felt a bit dizzy. Between female beasts and male beasts, there was an inherent attraction, an instinctive reaction that she could not prevent, no matter how strong she had become now.
Seeing Gu Shengyin’s expression, Aiwis gently smiled.
"Lord Wu Luo, you promised me that once I become the most powerful and prestigious Beastman on the continent, you would agree to become my mate," he declared.
Gu Shengyin didn’t deny it. Over the years, as a naturally powerful male beast, Ovis’s patience had grown tremendously strong.
Seeing that Gu Shengyin didn’t deny it, a spark of joy flashed in Ovis’s eyes, and a bolder idea surfaced in his mind.
He couldn’t help but reach out and take Gu Shengyin’s hand.
