Chapter 259: Chapter 259

Upon their arrival at the center of Myriad Beasts City, they immediately heard some news.

The order of the contests for this year’s Wan Cheng Gathering had changed.

The first event would still be the Wise Ones’ Contest, lasting for seven days.

The second event had been changed to the Warriors’ Contest, the third to the Witch Doctors’ Contest, and only then would the Priests’ Contest take place.

The Witch Doctors’ Contest had been moved from the second to the third event, as Xiudou had not yet arrived, making this a favorable development for Si Yan and her companions.

Another major piece of news surfaced.

In previous Wan Cheng Gatherings, since the Delusional Domain had not participated, it was a six-party competition.

This time, as the Delusional Domain joined punctually, it should have been a seven-party competition. However, this year the Golden Dragon Clan also forcefully insisted on participating, and Myriad Beasts City dared not deny them.

Thus, it turned into an eight-party competition.

"Doesn’t the Golden Dragon Clan already possess the heritage of the Beast God? In previous years, they disdained the Wan Cheng Gathering and never paid attention to it. Why are they participating this time?"

"I don’t understand."

"Have you heard? The precious little female of the Golden Dragon Clan, that very capable Witch Doctor and Priest, Jin Yao, is also going to participate."

"Jin Yao? I’ve heard of her; they say she’s particularly beautiful."

"Beautiful? How beautiful can she be? More beautiful than the proprietress of the Delusional Tavern?"

The Beastmen of Myriad Beasts City respectfully guided Si Yan and her group to the central area.

There, representatives from other forces were already present, except for the Golden Dragon Clan.

Several tall Tiger Beasts from White Tiger City arrived, and they seemed quite excited upon seeing Ming Yan, the Black Tiger Beast following Si Yan.

"Young master, why did you go to the Delusional Domain? You’re standing in the wrong place, come here, come here!"

Ming Yan stood indifferently behind Si Yan.

When Bai Shou of White Eagle City saw Si Yan, he was even more excited than the people from White Tiger City and greeted her, "Miss Si Yan, our High Priest will appear during the final Priest Contest!"

Si Yan raised her eyebrows and said helplessly, "I understand, thank you for letting me know."

All the tribes looked on with mixed feelings.

It seemed like there was a good relationship between White Eagle City and the Delusional Domain, and surprisingly, the City Lord of Black Tiger City—who was also the young prince of White Tiger City—was with the Delusional Domain.

This relationship seemed extremely delicate.

After Bai Shou had finished his greeting, the Merfolk Clan also looked over.

Si Yan was still wondering what the Merfolk Clan intended to do. Just then, one of their elders approached with small, quick steps and said, "After returning to the great sea, Auntie Sanwen told us about your situation."

Auntie Sanwen? Oh, it’s that salmon Merfolk!

The salmon is a migratory fish, alternating between fresh and saltwater, swimming back and forth. So she would go to the freshwater lake as well as to the sea.

The elder of the Merfolk Clan said, "Thank you, Lady of the Lord, for taking care of little Jin Li and little Lan Hai."

Si Yan replied, "Little Lan Hai is currently resting in a small pond behind the Delusional Tavern here in Myriad Beasts City."

The elder of the Merfolk Clan smiled and said, "Lady of the Lord, we have actually already met little Lan Hai. His true form is a whale, and that small pond is a bit too small for him, which is why he has been sleeping all this time."

Si Yan sensed a hint of a reminder in his words and said, "If little Lan Hai is willing, I will take him back to the sea."

The elder of the Merfolk Clan politely and respectfully said, "No need for that. I just wanted to ask for a favor, to make his fishbowl... a bit larger. We intended to dig it out ourselves, but little Lan Hai did not want to disrupt the tavern..."

Si Yan felt awkward that the elder of the Merfolk Clan had come to plead because she had not taken good care of her adopted son, so she embarrassingly said, "That’s... certainly doable."

The Beastmen watching the exchange were surprised and remarked:

"How come I didn’t know that the Delusional Domain was on such good terms with so many major tribes?"

"White Tiger City, White Eagle City, and the Merfolk Clan. I heard that the Lady of the Lord might be the second daughter of Myriad Beasts City; that would mean adding Myriad Beasts City too!"

"The eight tribes, and the Delusional Domain has already won over four?"

Si Yan turned her gaze to the other two groups.

Water City: home to beastmen who could live both in water and on land.

These were primarily carnivorous giant crocodile Beastmen, known for being fierce and cruel.

These ferocious giant crocodile Beastmen, upon seeing Si Yan look their way, behaved completely differently from what she had expected.

Their faces turned red first, and then they excitedly straightened up.

"That beautiful female looked at me."

"You’re talking nonsense, she was clearly looking at me!!"

"Oh my, I’ve never seen such a good-looking female in my life. Do you think she’d be willing to lay a clutch of crocodile eggs for me? If she’d be willing to lay eggs for me, I’d die happy!"

"What are you dreaming about? If she’s going to lay eggs for anyone, it’s going to be with me."

Just as they were discussing, suddenly, a particularly terrifying presence swept over them, causing the giant crocodile Beastmen to tremble.

"That cold, murderous aura scared the crocs to death; is that the snake Beastman?"

"Why is he so fierce?"

"I heard that snake Beastmen have a particularly strong possessive desire; looks like it’s true."

"Poor little female, he won’t even let her have more Beast Husbands."

Si Yan felt extremely embarrassed; she had good hearing and caught the entire discussion of the crocs.

How could such fierce-looking crocodiles also be so foolish.

Si Yan turned to look at another side, the Barren City.

The city in the desert was composed of Beastmen who lived in the vast wastes. Having long endured harsh conditions to survive, they were even more fierce and cruel.

But when Si Yan looked over, the faces of these tall and mighty desert males bizarrely blushed. Then they, too, stood up excitedly and straight.

"She looked at me. She looked at me!"

"Don’t move, she was clearly looking at me."

"I’m more handsome, right? She’d prefer me as a Beast Husband, I think I have hope."

"I think you’re dreaming!" Orıginal content can be found at 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝕟𝕖𝕥

Si Yan was extremely embarrassed and quickly averted her gaze.

This was dangerous; the male Beastmen here have such an innocent and direct reaction when they see females.

If she looked any longer, She Wang’s jealousy would completely erupt.

Si Yan perked up her spirits, and when she looked forward, people from Myriad Beasts City had also arrived.

Si Yan saw two acquaintances, Sage Grey Parrot and Warrior Green Parrot, and a few other Beastmen she had seen several times but whose names she couldn’t recall.

When everyone saw Si Yan, they all went over to greet her politely.

"Hello, Sage Si Yan."

"Hello, second daughter."

"Hello boss, hello boss."

Today was another day of being the center of attention.
