However, when his eyes inadvertently swept across the "line" behind the other person, the line of emotion that could not be deceived still undoubtedly revealed what the other person was really thinking under his polite appearance.
"Is this... you're attracted to me? When did I become this charming?!"
Yu Huan, who had never cared about his appearance, had such an idea for the first time.
But this is not surprising. After all, the girls she meets in the circle she lives in are basically the same. Even those who have made contracts with her and have optimized their magic or knight power have already become extraordinary and not ordinary people.
Living in such a group for many years, it is natural that Yu Huan has come to the conclusion that his appearance is just cute, but he is very "ordinary" in other aspects.
In short: Not self-conscious about your appearance!
However, what Yu Huan didn't know was that, leaving aside her appearance, the level of strength she displayed in the previous gambling fight and the ever-changing armor that included various shapes had undoubtedly had an extremely profound impact and... a deep mark on many young people present at the time!
100. Partner
Leopard Yuan is undoubtedly one of them...
To be honest, it is impossible for any orc present at the time not to be attracted by Yu Huan. After all, whether it is the bloody and violent Amazons armor that is enough to cause the orcs' adrenaline to surge, or the extremely elegant Swan armor that looks like a god, or the Jiadou armor with extraordinary speed that looks like red lightning.
Each of these armors has its own unique characteristics and charm, which can be said to fully satisfy the pursuit of "beauty" and "war" in the hearts of almost all orcs in the orc tribe.
In this situation, coupled with the powerful strength displayed by Yu Huan himself and his cute but already stunning appearance, the divine light emanated from his every move.
Taking all these conditions into consideration, even if Yu Huan didn't know it, she actually already had the qualifications to be a 'boy killer'.
I've strayed off topic, let's get back to the topic...
As a strong young man in the Leopard Clan, there was no reason for Leopard Yuan not to participate in the gambling game held by his own clan. Of course, because his identity today was that of the host, he was just a participant and did not participate in the gambling game.
To put it simply, he watched the entire gambling game like a spectator, and in today's gambling game, there was undoubtedly only one person who was the most dazzling: that was Yu Huan!
They made a big splash, and to be honest, the so-called "trophies" they won were obviously not a big deal for those orcs who already had a huge force. The most important thing was that they discovered the huge "treasure" of Yuhuan.
So what do you do after you discover a treasure? Of course, you dig it up!
It’s a pity that Yu Huan’s strength is there for everyone to see. The unique robbery method of the orcs will obviously not work on Yu Huan... It’s hard to say who will rob whom at that time!
After all, although these orcs are obsessed with Yuhuan's strength and beauty, they are not stupid. But no one wants to end up like a certain eagle man who was taken advantage of in the whole gambling game and was finally given to a fat pig woman.
Since we can't use force, we can only use the methods we learned from the humans in the Demon Realm: chase!
But how to pursue it?
Fighting is a simple matter for these orcs, but chatting up girls... sorry, they usually court girls directly and rudely, that's the way of the orcs. As for the actions of humans, they think they are hesitant and lack any "manliness".
It’s a pity that Yu Huan’s strength is too strong. The prerequisite for direct proposal is to have strength that matches his. Therefore, this is also the reason why many orcs can only watch in secret but not take action.
Leopard Yuan's actions did not surprise the orcs. In fact, after seeing Leopard Yuan walking over, many orcs had even thought of giving up. After all, regardless of whether the other party succeeded or not, it obviously meant that such a person had nothing to do with them.
Well, by the way, let me talk about Leopard Yuan’s identity:
Bao Yuan, the youngest son of the Leopard King of the Leopard Tribe, is also the protagonist of today's banquet. He is recognized as the most talented and intelligent Leopard Orc of this generation, and is also one of the strong contenders for the next Leopard King!
To put it simply, the other party is the 'protagonist' of today's banquet. In this case, no matter what the other party wants to do, the orcs present must give him face. Otherwise, if they accidentally slap him in the face, it would be equivalent to slapping the face of the entire leopard tribe. At that time, this matter will obviously not be so easy to cover up!
Of course, even if it is said to be a slap in the face, you have to know that Bao Yuan is one of the strongest of the younger generation of the Leopard Clan. There are really few young people present who can be his opponents.
I've gone off topic again... In short, considering all the circumstances, Bao Yuan, who also fell in love with Yu Huan at first sight during the gambling game, immediately walked over and prepared to chat her up.
However, Yu Huan, who had no interest in men at all, naturally said a few perfunctory words and prepared to find a place to continue thinking about her "troublemaking plan". However, because she did not know the identity of the leopard man in front of her, she did not set her sights on him.
After all, if Yu Huan knew that the other party was the protagonist of tonight's banquet... there was no doubt that the best target person would be found!
The casual and perfunctory words directly shook off Bao Yuan, and Bao Yuan seemed to be quite gentleman and did not press on. Instead, he smiled and watched Yu Huan's back as he left. In his pair of vertical pupils, a glimmer of light slowly appeared, as if he had seen his prey and was determined to get it.
He turned around and found a corner to make a plan. He even thought of kidnapping the so-called prophet candidate to lure the prophet over so that they could have a "good talk". However, just as Yu Huan was spreading his thoughts, the coming-of-age ceremony was gradually progressing with waves of passionate and noisy music.
To be honest, the orcs' coming-of-age ceremony was really meaningless. It was nothing more than the Leopard King announcing the protagonist, the Leopard 'Prince', and giving him a gift that belonged to his father, amid the cheers of a group of orcs. Then, each race presented its own gifts.
Yu Huan was just watching boredly during this time, and only the appearance of the prophet candidate seemed to surprise her a little. After all, the prophet candidate of the two-tailed white fox looked... quite beautiful!
At the same time, Yu Huan, who was watching from the other side, seemed to suddenly discover that when the so-called prophet candidate came on stage to bless the leopard prince, his mind did not seem to be focused on it. Instead, he was constantly walking around the entire venue as if...looking for something?
Of course, these obviously have nothing to do with Yu Huan. He just decided in his heart that if things really don't work, he will use this 'prophet candidate' as the starting point. However, he never thought that sometimes plans... really can't keep up with changes!
"Today is my son's coming-of-age ceremony. According to the rules of our Orcs, a partner will be chosen for him tonight. Now... according to the Orcs' rules, does my son... have anyone he likes?"
The Leopard King's passionate voice spread throughout the entire venue at this moment. At this moment, Yu Huan clearly felt that all the burning gazes around him seemed to be cast on the high platform in the distance in an instant.
No, to be precise, it should have been cast on the leopard 'prince' on the high platform, and most of them were female orcs. When Yu Huan looked in the direction of their gaze out of curiosity, he was surprised to find that the 'prince' was obviously none other than the Leopard King who had approached him before.
"If I had known this earlier, I would have just taken action against him!"
After glancing at the other person, Yu Huan thought indifferently after recognizing his identity. However, she never expected that her casual glance at the other person would immediately make Bao Yuan, who was looking for her in the crowd, see his eyes light up. Then he walked down from the platform without thinking.
Naturally, Leopard Yuan's "concubine" had to be chosen by him. Therefore, in response to Leopard Yuan's sudden move, many female orcs below immediately showed expressions of anticipation and excitement on their faces, as if the person chosen by the other party was undoubtedly themselves.
However, amidst all these gazes ranging from excitement to loss, and then to curiosity, Bao Yuan walked straight past the crowd that was gradually making way and headed in a certain direction.
Seeing this, the orcs around gave way and looked in a certain direction with the same curiosity in the direction of Leopard Yuan's walking. Then, when they saw the undocumented girl who was drinking juice and seemed to be thinking about something, there was no doubt that many people's eyes flashed with surprise at this moment.
Of course, many of those who had known Yu Huan in gambling fights before, after showing a look of "as expected", all of them also cast various envious and jealous glances in the direction of Bao Yuan.
The Orcs stipulated that every Orc 'royal family' had the opportunity to 'select a concubine' when they reached adulthood, and no other race or orc was allowed to interrupt or interfere in this selection of a concubine, otherwise it would be equivalent to becoming an enemy of that tribe.
Of course, this doesn't mean that if the "royal family" chooses someone as a concubine, that person must agree... Although there are some coercive measures involved, the chosen person undoubtedly has the right to refuse: the right to challenge!
As a male orc, if he can't even beat the female he likes, then naturally he has no right to possess her. The mere fact of failure is enough to make him a laughing stock of the entire tribe and even the entire orc race. Then the so-called selection is naturally nonsense.
Thinking of this, looking at Bao Yuan who was gradually walking towards Yu Huan, and who seemed to feel the other party's burning gaze, he gradually raised his head with a confused look, but looked at Yu Huan with a hint of indifference. The orcs who had witnessed that gorgeous gambling fight couldn't help but have some...expectation in their hearts.
After all, he had defeated most of the females participating in the gambling game by himself, and he was not like those weak "little girls" who were easy to bully.
Everyone has witnessed the opponent's strength. Looking at the girl, who obviously did not react "moved" by Bao Yuan's smile, many people even looked at Bao Yuan with a hint of gloating.
This person... is not someone you can easily mess with!
101. Courtship
"Beautiful lady, would you marry me?"
It was clearly a question, but when it came out of the Leopard Man's mouth, it was filled with a determined attitude. Yu Huan subconsciously looked at the other party's gaze. Even without using his supernatural powers, he could see the fiery light full of possessiveness in the other party's eyes.
"..."
To be honest, Yu Huan was quite uncomfortable with this kind of look. In addition, she herself did not understand the customs of the orcs. The sudden proposal at this time undoubtedly made Yu Huan confused and she did not know what was going on.
Who am I? Where am I? What happened?
They had only just met once, and he had been perfunctory with her the whole time. The relationship between them was just knowing each other's name. Because he had no good feelings for each other, he was even worse than a stranger.
But in the end, the other party suddenly stood in front of him in less than a few minutes, and proposed to him in public... To be honest, even if Yu Huan had read countless books in his previous life, it would be impossible for him to figure out what this routine was at the first time!
Fortunately, at this moment when she was confused, the voices of the surrounding orcs came into her ears in this quiet atmosphere. With her extraordinary hearing, Ye Chen naturally heard the words of these people first.
After a few seconds, Yu Huan roughly understood what was happening and fell silent. At the same time, he suddenly realized:
"No wonder~~ With a bet like the nobles hunting 'female orcs', women of other races would actually dare to come to such a banquet. So this is the reason..."
Just like when he was abducted before, it was obvious that similar situations to Yu Huan happened quite often at such banquets.
It would be fine if Yu Huan herself had the strength, but that didn't mean that other female beastmen also had such strength. And even if there were some...
You have to know that the orcs participating in the gambling are all descendants of some big clans. They not only have strength but also background. In this case, if you want to resist... you need to think carefully!
After all, unlike Ye Chen, these people all live in the big forest. They have their own tribesmen, so they obviously have more things to consider.
In summary, Yu Huan was also curious about why, apart from those 'trophies' that were brought as gifts or 'slaves', there were so many female orcs participating in the entire banquet?
Ye Chen was confused about this question at first, but now he understands it a little bit...
Fortune and wealth are sought in danger. It turns out that this is the purpose of gaining such an 'opportunity'!
On the day of the orcs' coming-of-age ceremony, they will directly conduct a "concubine selection". The orcs participating in the coming-of-age ceremony will choose one of the "female orcs" present as their "partner". Although such a partner is not actually considered a future "wife" strictly speaking, it can be regarded as a form of courtship to some extent.
In fact, there are undoubtedly many orcs in the records of the orcs who became couples in a similar way. Therefore, for some weaker orc tribes, if they can be valued by those big tribes, especially the heirs, then it will undoubtedly be a great joy for them and the tribes behind them.
In view of this, it was natural for many orcs to think that the women present were there specifically for a "blind date". As for the previous spoils, the reason they returned despite knowing the danger was mostly because they failed to meet the concept of "seeking wealth and honor through danger".
After understanding this, Yu Huan was speechless... It turned out that this was someone else's growth routine, and he was the outsider who knew nothing, right?
As a goddess, Yu Huan naturally had no right to comment on the customs of the Orcs. However, as for the idea of becoming the 'lover' or even 'fuck buddy' of this leopard-headed prince, sorry, she would undoubtedly refuse!
"This...Miss? Yu Huan?"
He opened his mouth to propose, but seeing the other person's silence, Bao Yuan might have thought at first that the other person was unwilling to agree because of shyness or something, but when he lowered his head and inadvertently saw Yu Huan's calm eyes, he seemed to have vaguely guessed what the other person was thinking in an instant, and immediately called the other person's name and stretched out his hand to hold the person.
however……
"Sorry, I'm new here and don't know the rules. I'm not here for a 'blind date'!"
A calm voice suddenly came from a few meters away. When everyone was stunned and turned around, they saw Yu Huan, who had been standing behind several orcs a few meters away. At the same time, when they turned their heads to look over here, they found that there was no one in the direction where Bao Yuan stretched out his hand.
"So fast!"
In the crowd, many races known for their speed suddenly exclaimed, not only because of the speed and reaction ability that Yu Huan had just burst out, but also because she was able to dodge Bao Yuan's hand.
After all, the leopard tribe... is also a kind of speed population!
Of course, this is not the point. Except for those speed races, no one obviously cares about this. What really makes them care is what Yu Huan just said.
In fact, many people present did not understand the profound principles, but from Yu Huan's words, they could clearly understand what Yu Huan wanted to express, which was... rejection!
Yes, Yu Huan rejected the courtship of Bao Yuan, the little prince of the leopard tribe, who is very likely to become the new leopard king in the future, and did it in such a public place. His behavior undoubtedly stunned many people present for a moment.
Of course, there were also many beastmen who had seen Yu Huan's various deeds before, and they undoubtedly showed happy expressions at this moment. Yu Huan's refusal obviously made them see some unfounded hope.
At the same time, Yu Huan's refusal fell into the eyes of some female orcs present, and it undoubtedly made Yu Huan receive another kind of gaze in addition to the surprised and delighted gazes from the people around him: jealousy, anger, resentment and... murderous intent, etc.!
Regarding Yu Huan's casual rejection, you have to know that many orc women present here came thousands of miles to the Leopard Tribe for such an opportunity, and even took certain risks to fight for it. However, such an opportunity fell on Yu Huan's side, but was rejected so nonchalantly by the other party. This would undoubtedly make them feel... inferior to the other party.
A girl's psychology is more complicated than the ocean. Yu Huan, who obviously didn't understand this, had inadvertently offended all the female orcs present. However, she didn't know about it, and even if she knew... she probably wouldn't care!
In short, no matter how the people around her viewed her or how they viewed Leopard Yuan, Yu Huan's behavior could be considered a provocation to the Leopard Clan in a sense, causing Leopard Yuan to lose face. Therefore, many of the Leopard Clan members around had already begun to bare their teeth and show ferocious eyes towards Yu Huan.
Of course, external things are not important, and Yu Huan did not care. He looked at Bao Yuan in front of him calmly and apologetically.
Although she did not like the other party, and was disgusted by the other party's possessive look towards her from the beginning, she was the one who broke the "rules" first after all, and was still wandering around here without knowing the rules of the Orcs. It did not seem strange that she was proposed to by the other party.
But honestly speaking, not to mention Yu Huan himself, for the safety of the Leopard Tribe and even the entire Orc Tribe, it is obvious that Yu Huan would never agree to the other party's proposal. Otherwise, the dozen or so people in his family... well, they would probably make the Leopard Tribe experience what the end of the world feels like in every minute!
"..."
Bao Yuan had a blank expression on his face the entire time, and after Yu Huan rejected him, he seemed to be in a daze.
Rejected… Rejected… Rejected!
These four words seemed to be constantly circulating in his mind. Bao Yuan blinked his eyes, as if he couldn't believe it... It's not that he was so narcissistic that others would definitely not reject him, but he had to know that he was a genius among the leopard clan and a strong contender for the next Leopard King.
He had good looks, status, and strength. He could be considered a prominent figure within his tribe... no, even among the younger generation of orcs, he was definitely a prominent figure. Yet, he was rejected outright, and without mercy...
He didn't know why for a moment. He should have felt humiliated by this rejection. The looks and whispers around him should have made him feel ashamed.
However, Bao Yuan found in his heart that he strangely did not have such a feeling!
Yes, not at all. Instead, another emotion is constantly rising with the passage of time... It is unwillingness, it is disobedience, it is desire, it is a strong... possessive thought!
He raised his head, his eyes calm but with a heart-pounding flame hidden in them as he looked at Yu Huan in front of him. He seemed to be suppressing some impulse in his heart and took a deep breath. After a while, he once again showed the same peaceful smile as before and looked at Yu Huan, then slowly walked towards him again.
Seeing this, Yu Huan was about to retreat or simply run away, but unexpectedly, Bao Yuan, who seemed to see nothing but this, stopped a few meters away from her and said:
"Since you're going to refuse, then Miss Yuhuan must know the conditions for rejecting a courtship according to the rules of the Orcs, right?"
Beneath the smiling words, the determined light in his eyes was clearly without any impurities, but instead became even more intense.
"..."
In this regard, Yuhuan really wants to say: Sorry, I am not an orc, so... I really don’t know!
102. Saint
Well, it is obviously unlikely to say that he doesn't know. After all, the whispering sounds around are enough to provide Yu Huan with a lot of information, which naturally includes how the other party should respond if the courtship is rejected.
After all, courtship requires mutual consent from both parties. Although there are many cases of robbery and plundering among the orcs, at least such things will not be encouraged too much in public, so the so-called duel rules exist.
Of course, this rule is actually also intended to prevent some big families from taking advantage of their power to snatch people. Just like now, if Yu Huan refuses, then things will shift to the duel rules. At that time, Yu Huan only needs to defeat the opponent. Not only will he not be forced to court, he can even win the favor of people around him with his strength.
This is naturally a good thing for powerful orcs, but it is not a good thing for some powerful and powerful people, especially women.
Of course, as the challenger, if you really think that your strength is not enough, you can find a "substitute" according to the duel rules. It's a pity that there is no one around Yu Huan willing to help her. Even if there is someone willing to stand up for the beauty, he will undoubtedly need to consider his own strength and the other party's background and relationships.
Of course, Yuhuan didn't plan to ask anyone for help!
