C9 Part1

“It can stimulate the potential of some female beastmen.” Nian JiMo concealed the fact that this fruit could also increase the probability of being pregnant with a female cub. He had not become her partner so he felt embarrassed to say such things to her.

“Potential?” Yang Qiqi asked curiously.

“Some female beastmen are favoured by the Beast God. They can trigger the attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth after eating a Saintess fruit. Therefore, on this continent, the lofty status of females is not only due to their scarcity but also because they are the symbol of strength of the Empire. Females with elemental powers are addressed as ‘Lady’ ( 1) and they are addressed as ‘Her Highness’( 2) after they reach the commander rank. When they are achieve the holy rank, they will be called ‘Her Holiness’( 3) . These females are required to choose a team of excellent male beastmen. When fighting enemies or competing against other females, they act as her shields to ensure her safety. But outside the battlefield, they are her husbands.”

Nian JiMo noticed the corners of Yang QiQi’s mouth twitching after he said that.

“A team? Those males are the husbands of one female?” She suddenly felt that she had lost her appetite.

“Yes.” Nian JiMo answered a little cautiously. “Is this not the case in T-Union?”

“We practice monogamy there which is protected by law. But some people still have hidden lovers. Their relationship might be semi-open or completely concealed, but it certainly cannot be brought to light. It is considered disgraceful.”

T-Union is really a paradise for males!

Nian JiMo sighed. If he was in T-Union, he would not have to look around for allies to form his own team. Then he could completely dominate her selfishly, couldn’t he?!

Although polyandry was a alien concept to her, Yang QiQi could somehow tackle it. But polygamy would be totally unacceptable. For someone like her who liked to pursue strength, the five elemental attributes was enough to attract her attention.

These are the legendary super powers! Can this world be any more of a fantasy?!

“How can I know if I have an attribute?”

Nian JiMo looked at her nervous and expectant eyes. He couldn’t help but reach out to pat the top of her head adorned with soft and smooth hair. He had wanted to do it from a long time ago. Ah, it feels super nice.

Yang QiQi didn’t shy away from his touch this time. She herself didn’t realize that her initial vigilance and rejection towards this strange male beastman called Nian JiMo had disappeared. The warmness of his hug held immense lethality for the vulnerable Yang QiQi. Of course, the colourful and sweet meal he prepared also played a significant role.

Seeing that she did not refuse his touch anymore, Nian JiMo withdrew his hand in satisfaction.

“I don’t have any instrument required for the test here. We have to go to a special organisation called ‘Saintess Hall’ in any of the nine major cities of the Empire to test you. If you do have elemental attributes, you should then apply and gradually upgrade the power of your attribute in the ‘Saintess Hall’.”

Then Nian JiMo briefly described what the ‘Nursery Hall’ and the ‘Saintess Hall’ were.

Both ‘Nursery Hall’ and the ‘Saintess Hall’ were similar to a nursery and school complexes in the T-Union. But here, they will be sent there for collective upbringing since their birth. In addition to taking care of them and providing the necessary materials for life, it was responsible for teaching survival rules, impart knowledge and combat skills to the little cubs.

It’s just that… By listening to him, Yang QiQi guessed that the life of the little male cubs in ‘Nursery Hall’ was harsh. It was not only straightforward in its objectives but also responsible for training qualified fighters or even mere slaves who were nothing but loyal to their female. On the other hand, the ‘Saintess Hall’ was a place meant for pampering the females. Even if it also had competitive requirements in the ‘Ladies’ Combat Court’ ( 4) , it would not really cause any damage to the precious female beastmen.

For this reason, the little female beastmen in the ‘Saintess Hall’ would be taken care of by a squad of male beastmen as soon as they enter. As long as the little females did not make a major mistake before they left the ‘Saintess Hall’ as an adult, they would generally be able to take away any of the males they fancied, as their husbands.

Footnotes:

(4) The author used ‘女君院’ which means the ‘Female Lord/Warrior/Highness Court’ but it doesn’t really make any sense to me. As they use that place for combat purposes, I changed its name a little to suit its function.
