Chapter 203: Chapter 203: The Stone-Piercing Beastmen 2
Su Tang found it quite baffling, why on earth would that Beastman ask such a question out of the blue?
What did her being a saintess have to do with them joining the Winged Tiger Tribe?
Huh?
She couldn’t figure it out!
However, Su Tang didn’t ask.
Standing nearby, Yadang quickly figured it out after a bit of pondering, his fox eyes gleaming with a hint of amusement as he looked at Gaiyin.
With no one starting the conversation, it was getting awkward.
The Stone-Piercing Beastman finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. After several failed attempts to initiate, he finally gathered his resolve.
"I heard you speaking in that little cave over there, the saintess is an envoy sent by the Beast God, and there are cultivation methods within the tribe that can awaken the superpowers of Beastmen. Is that correct?"
Gaiyin acknowledged generously, "Yes!"
The Stone-Piercing Beastman’s eyes lit up, his Qi fluctuating chaotically. Once it had settled down, he asked with a hopeful tone.
"Then, if we join the Winged Tiger Tribe, can my people also practice such cultivation methods?"
"Of course!" 𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝒐𝙢
The Stone-Piercing Beastman was excited.
Gaiyin faintly curled the corners of his mouth, his smile didn’t reach his eyes, "However..."
The Stone-Piercing Beastman asked cautiously, "However what?"
"These cultivation methods can only be practiced by Beastmen who are loyal to the Winged Tiger Tribe. If you want to practice them, you must undergo a thirty-day observation period. At the end of that period, you will be evaluated to see whether or not you are qualified to practice."
Stone-Piercing Beastman looked at Gaiyin in confusion, "Thirty days? Observation period? What are all these?"
Gaiyin: ...
The observation period was naturally proposed by Su Tang. It was a precautionary measure to prevent any Beastmen harboring ulterior motives from joining for the sake of the cultivation methods. It was stipulated that they undergo a thirty-day observation.
During these thirty days, only those Beastmen who are diligent, gentle, peace-loving, hardworking, and kind to others can qualify to practice the cultivation method.
And Gaiyin was very confident that if the tribe was built as Su Tang had described, with a hospital, schools, various shops, and the guarantee of generous food and clothing, after these thirty days, he doubted any Beastman would want to leave.
Seeing the Stone-Piercing Beastman looking at Gaiyin in bewilderment, Yadang couldn’t help but explain.
"A day begins at sunrise and ends at sunset, thirty sunrises and sunsets make thirty days. During these days, as long as you work earnestly, care for your tribesmen, avoid quarrels and trouble, you will be seen as having passed the observation period. And upon swearing an oath of loyalty to the Winged Tiger Tribe in front of the Beast God, you will be allowed to practice the cultivation method."
"Though our tribe is named the Winged Tiger Tribe, there are many other races of Beastmen among us, and everyone is friendly. Our tribe promotes Beastmen Equality, but those who make significant contributions to the tribe should receive better treatment. Likewise, if you do anything harmful to the tribe, you’ll be punished! We will discuss all these details once we are settled in our new tribal land."
"Do you have any other questions?"
The Stone-Piercing Beastman shook his head.
Yadang heaved a sigh of relief, stretching lazily, "After going in circles for so long, you’ve finally agreed to join our tribe! Haha!"
"..."
"Er, why are you all looking at me?"
Su Tang couldn’t help facepalming.
Normally, she thought Yadang was quite smart. Why was he messing up at such a crucial moment?
Did his words not clearly indicate that he was scheming against the others!
Ah, really too silly! Hopeless!
The Stone-Piercing Beastman furrowed his brows, his dark eyes fixed intently on Gaiyin.
"So, the moment you found me, you were calculating to incorporate my tribesmen into your tribe? And those words in the cave, were they purposely said for me to hear, right?"
