Chapter 429 (2/2)

“Master, please be polite. He’s the chief of the tiger tribe and he’s also my father!” said Tigress gently, revealing this person’s identity and also her own.

“The chief? Your father? Tigress, aren’t you the princess then?” Ye Lang asked, stunned. He didn’t care about anything else other than Tigress.

As one of the largest tribes of the beastmen, the tiger tribe was as powerful as a large nation. This meant Tigress was from a very powerful background.

“I guess, though we’re different from humans. The chief’s daughter does not have any privileges, we all have to rely on our own strengths,” she nodded.

As per her words, the beastmen did not just look at bloodlines, an individual’s capabilities were more important!

Of course, being the chief’s daughter made things easier sometimes. It was easier for her to stand out from the crowd and would have more access to opportunities than other people.

Then again, she had the protection of her father if anything happened to her so it wasn’t true she didn’t have any privileges.

“Oh, I see! I have a question. Why do you both look so different? Is he really your father?” Ye Lang asked very directly. This was what he thought, something many people wondered too.

There were too many differences between them, from their looks to their animal characteristics. Other than her ears and tail, Tigress did not have any other outer, physical animal characteristics.

Her stature was far different from his too. Her father was tall and muscular, she was short and just adorable.

How could they be related at all?

“Master… You’ve read books about beastmen, you should know…” huffed Tigress. She didn’t scold him despite the idiotic remark he just made.

“I have! According to historical records, ancient beastmen didn’t just have tiger heads, they could literally be half an animal! However, most of the beastmen resembled humans now, and bear fewer animal features. Most only have the ears and the tail. Your father’s features are very rare! Also, if he’s the father, it’s also very rare for him to produce a child like you. You’re both too different…” Ye Lang was still very suspicious. For the first time in her life, Tigress wanted to smack him.

Only gently…

“...” The chief was silent. There was a flash of an odd expression but he immediately raged, “You, boy, who are you to question us? You’ve got to answer to me first, we’ve got unfinished business! You’ve got nerve questioning me, son!”

“Sorry, what?” Ye Lang didn’t understand. “I’m sure this is the first time I’ve met you, what do you mean unfinished business?”

“I’m talking about my daughter! What drug did you use on my daughter, I can’t believe she gave up this opportunity all for you!” roared the chief.

“??” Ye Lang was very confused, he didn’t know what the chief was talking about at all.

At this point, Tigress spoke up. “Father, let’s not talk about this anymore. I’ve never even wanted to go in the first place!”

“Tigress, what are you talking about?” asked Ye Lang.

“Kid, haven’t you figured it out already? This mock war was for us to pick a few people to send to the City of Beast Gods, for cultivation!” explained the chief.

“City of Beast Gods? The mysterious city that only appears once in a century?” asked Ye Lang.

“Indeed! This is the pride of the beastmen, a place everyone dreams of visiting. I have trained there myself, that place is… What I mean is, this place would be very useful for their life ahead!” said the chief.

Ye Lang finally understood what Athena was referring to when she said Tigress was giving up this opportunity. Tigress had given up the opportunity to enter the City of Beast Gods.

Every hundred years, the mysterious city would appear and open their gates to welcome the representatives of the beastmen. Other than high-level officials who participated in prayer rituals, a group of talented young adults would be sent into the city too. After the prayers were complete, they would stay to cultivate their inner strengths and capabilities.
