Chapter 430 (1/2)
Names (2)
This group of young adults would become the future leaders of the beastmen. Take the tiger chief, he had once practised cultivation at the City of Beast Gods. Not just him, the chiefs of the fox and wolf tribes were all the same.
“I know about that place. I heard you can only leave after ten years. Ah, Tigress, don’t go! Or I’ll only be able to see you again after ten years…” Ye Lang had a sudden revelation. Ten years. That meant Tigress was going to be in there for ten years or more.
Before Tigress could reply, the tiger chief spoke. “It’s just ten years, it’s not even a hundred! Us tigers can live more than two hundred years, ten years is not long! This is important to Tai Ya, you human have no place to tell her what to do.”
“Ten years… A human can only live at most about a hundred…” Ye Lang mumbled to himself, “You tigers have long lives, us humans won’t live that long…”
“Master…” Tigress held Ye Lang’s hand. Just when she was about to speak, Ye Lang interrupted her.
With a huge smile, he said, “It’ll be alright, Tigress. It’s just ten years. Go! You can do this.”
Although Ye Lang would miss Tigress, he understood that it was indeed very important to Tigress. So what if they were apart for another ten years? He’ll spend that time travelling the world at random again. Right now he had Little Xin with him too, he wouldn’t be lonely!
“No, I’m not going. Master, I’ve already missed you for eight years. I don’t want to be without you for another ten! Ten years is too long!” Tigress shook her head, giving up her dreams without hesitation.
Her dreams? Weren’t her dreams to travel with Ye Lang? Her dreams had nothing to do with going to the City of Beast Gods.
After listening to Tigress, the chief raised his voice immediately. “Tai Ya, are you mad? Do you know how many people dream to enter the City? So many people work their entire lives just to get a chance, and you’re throwing it all away just for one kid!”
“Yeah, tiger girl. You’ve already given up once, are you sure he’s worth giving this up too?” Athena couldn’t help but ask.
Tigress shook her head. “It isn’t about that. The only thing I know is that I will be with Master my entire life, I will care for him. Everything else does not concern me!”
“...”
The crowd was silent. They knew Ye Lang was important to her but they didn’t expect him to be so important she would do such a thing.
“No! You must go to the City. You shall obey me if you want to call me father!” The chief’s tone was final with no room for negotiation.
What he said made Tigress hesitate. She didn’t want to lose ten years with Ye Lang but she didn’t want to lose her father either. Both were very important to her. It wasn’t as if she could give up her family just to be with Ye Lang!
“Tigress, you should go. It’s just ten years. We’ve already been apart for eight…” Ye Lang said plainly, turning to look at the chief. The chief was avoiding his eyes.
“But…”
