Chapter 22 (1/2)
This was a fantasy world, so when he began looking through the background information Shi Qing was not too surprised.
After all, in his past life he read through many novels during his convalescence and they touched upon a wide variety of subjects. A few of the most commonly seen elements in Western fantasy novels were: humans, beastmen, elves, dwarves…a diverse number of races co-existing on a single continent.
So, since it was clear at first glance that beastmen dominated this world, he believed that it must be a Western fantasy based world full of species like taurens or orcs[1].
Sounded like a pretty wild MAN[2], don’t you think?!
He continued reading down the screen full of joy and expectations, but the following content made him deeply understand how ignorant and inexperienced he truly was.
The beastmen here were completely different from any beastmen that Shi Qing had read about before. There were neither tauren nor centaurs; not even the orcs that everyone was familiar with.
They were genuine beasts—almost every major animal species was represented. There were fierce and violent beasts, as well as small beasts that were cute and docile. There were even beasts that seemed to have the special duty of acting cute for the last hundred years…
These beasts had three developmental stages in their lives: childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.
In the childhood stage, their appearance was completely that of an animal. In the adolescence stage, they transformed into the appearance of a human, but they still maintained some of the distinctive characteristics of their animal appearance, such as furry animal ears, long or curled tails, or else adorable little claws. Owing to the instability of this form, if they experienced any extreme mood fluctuations they would revert back to their animal form.
Finally, those individuals in the adulthood stage had an entirely human form. They were able to fully conceal all of their animal characteristics and capable of freely transforming through the forms. Their human forms had some conveniences, and there were also certain benefits to their animal forms. After they reached adulthood and mastered switching between all three of their forms, they could use the benefits of any form to their advantage.
All of this was completely acceptable to Shi Qing.
It was the next piece of information that struck down his three worldviews.
There were no women in this world! Oh no, to be accurate; there were no female beastmen!
They were all men!
Do you wonder how they breed?
Very good, wonderful, the men in this world can get pregnant and have children!
OH MY GOD! Shi Qing was sure that his eyes must be blind!
Shi Qing first learned that two men could fall in love when he was a third year in high school, because at that time there were the life forms known as fujoshis in his school. The Shi family lineage was very high quality, and Shi Qing had inherited his mother’s face. Although he was a boy, his appearance was excessively beautiful. If he was not so active and naughty, as well as being ultra-talkative and friendly, no one would guess. Whenever he was quiet, people would immediately have difficulties determining his gender.
It was precisely for this reason that while he was in school, from time to time, he would find himself surrounded by a small group of girls. Initially, he was secretly delighted and felt like he was a man full of charisma and charm. Look, those girls were so enthusiastic!
Later on, he got the faint but distinct feeling that something fishy was going on. The girls did look into his green eyes, but it was not like they were trying to get him as a boyfriend. Rather, it was like they were scheming something…
It was not until he inadvertently overheard a conversation between two of the girls whom he considered super cute and adorable that he understood, and he was totally stupefied.
Cute girl A: “Ah ah ah! You didn’t see! Today Shi-er[3] and Wu Ban from the student council stood together. That council member’s face was red! So red even Shi-er must have been tempted to become his shou!”
Lovely girl B: “You’re forbidden from tearing apart my CP! I am firmly on the brother’s side, you obviously did not see the two brothers. Crap! That sly glasses gong went on the attack ah! He’s a great fit with Shi-er!”
“…………”
That huge pile of unknown vocabulary poured into Shi Qing’s mind. Aside from the thoughts stupid, stupid, stupid, he could only stare ahead blankly…Fortunately the internet was flourishing by that time, so Shi Qing slipped away to consult with Baidu[4].
He searched for the terms ‘tempted to be shou’ and ‘sly glasses gong’, and the content that showed up made him kneel on the ground.
This…this is all fucked! So pornographic! So forceful!
Shi Qing quickly closed the website and then spent a few hours trying to somehow clean up those images from his brain. However, ever since then, he was totally afraid of coming close to those simple, cute little girls…can only avoid!
Owing to the information being widespread, Shi Qing knew that two men could have true love […], but he never knew that two men together could conceive and have children!
Compared to Shi Qing’s reaction, Qin Mo only raised his eyebrows and said, “Interesting.”
Shi Qing: What interesting! Where is this interesting! Host, do you want to give birth to a baby or something?!
The instant he was struck by this idea, Shi Qing huddled up into a ball and sat in the corner silently drawing circles.
His host pregnant and giving birth to a child…too, too lost…
Shi Qing quickly smashed the shameful small theater in his mind, then once again diverted his attention to the background information of the world.
The central figure of this world was named Yalike, the chief of one of the higher-level beastmen tribes.
He was young and promising, and well versed in battle. Just after he reached adulthood he succeeded his father’s position and became the military commander as well as chief of the tribe.
At that time, the Yassin Tribe was only a mid-level tribe with medium resources available and no high-level fighters among its residents. Although they had conquered three low-level tribes, due to a lack of development there was also a high-level tribal overtop of them. They had extorted many offerings and gifts from the Yassin all through the years, causing them enormous losses and hindering their development.
After Yalike’s succession into the chief position, he worked hard perfecting his plans and then led the warriors into a war on all sides. After six years, he was finally able to commandeer land that contained level seven resources. Not only was there sufficient food, but there was also a large deposit of crystal ore; such valuable and fertile land was rare.
He guided the tribe to greater development, and finally launched a rebellion against the high-level tribe above them a year later. The Yassin occupied their tribal territory, finally becoming a high-level tribe!
Yalike was the hero of the Yassin Tribe and his valiant and benevolent deeds were spread across the beastman mainland. He was the proud son of heaven, favoured by the Beast God!
