Upon hearing the name Wen Shu, the beastmen of the Fox Beast Tribe and the Snake Beast Tribe immediately became restless, and males from other tribes also craned their necks to listen, while even the females occasionally glanced over.
They all heard about Mious's eagerness to mate after the blessing ceremony last night, after all, he was considered a rare Eighth Rank Beastman even in Beast City. How remarkable must the female be who could mate with him!
Suddenly being named, Wen Shu guessed it was Belinda's doing. She never expected that a free meal could bring about such twists.
Seeing her still unmoved, Belinda stopped as she passed by, a contemptuous smile on her lips, "Wen Shu, are you really displeased with the Beast God? Last night mating with Mious at the blessing ceremony was one thing, but registering for the tournament in the Beast God's presence and then refusing, is quite another!"
Another female had already moved towards the platform, Wen Shu instructed Nan to fill the pot with food, and bypassed Belinda without sparing her a glance.
A mere test, she thought, could be considered a failed free meal now forced to perform.
Completely ignored, Belinda's face turned ashen as she walked behind Wen Shu, secretly gritting her teeth.
She wanted to see if Wen Shu could still act so arrogantly later!
As the first tall female stepped onto the platform, the males held their breath.
Fox Clan females also had distinct features; perfect curves, slender brows, and strikingly beautiful appearances.
Before they could even praise her, Belinda stepped forward, eclipsing her beauty, and the males couldn't take their eyes off her, "Such a beautiful female! Is her name Belinda? I'm going to register right now!"
"Are all Fox Clan females this beautiful? Now I understand why Mious agreed to mate! Wen Shu must be even more beautiful!"
"Why hasn't Wen Shu appeared yet? We've been anticipating her for so long!"
"Beautiful females should make a grand entrance! Oh! Here she comes!"
Wen Shu stepped onto the platform, offering a courteous smile to the High Priest, "Sorry to keep you waiting, we can start now."
At the moment she appeared, the noise below instantly ceased, plunging the surroundings into an eerie silence, with only the males' breathing audible.
The males' excellent vision allowed them to see Wen Shu clearly.
Contrary to their expectations, the female on the platform had oily skin, her face covered in patches of black grime, her long hair gleamed with oil as it draped over a filthy white beast-skin skirt.
She looked like she had just crawled out of a pile of garbage!
The front-row males couldn't hide their disdain, their bodies instinctively leaned back, with some males grumbling in hushed tones.
"She's the dirtiest and ugliest female I've ever seen…"
Out of respect for females, other males agreed silently in their hearts but did not voice it.
They came from various tribes and had seen many females from different tribes; Bear Clan females were the strongest and less attractive, but none were like Wen Shu…
Observing the males' reactions, the High Priest was not surprised, but Wen Shu's politeness today did take her by surprise.
The High Priest smiled at Wen Shu, raised her voice to break the silent atmosphere, "Alright! The Fox Beast Tribe females are assembled, let's start the test!"
Wen Shu calmly walked forward.
Most males' eyes stayed on her, unable to believe Mious would choose a female with no advantages!
Wen Shu raised her hand over the smooth Crystal Stone, a halo flowed, and a circle of sacred white light spread from beneath her palm.
The beastmen present looked at her in shock. Females from birth only had Healing System and Purification System powers, represented by green and blue respectively, yet no one had ever seen white!
As the light grew brighter, the males became excited again, and even the High Priest opened her muddy eyes wide.
"The light is so bright, her rank must be above Fifth Rank!"
"No, I've seen Fifth Rank spiritual power, this is much dimmer; she must at least be Seventh Rank!"
"I take back what I said earlier; the female isn't dirty at all, she must have dedicated all her time to cultivating!"
The Snake Beast standing in the front row grimaced while biting his teeth hard, "I knew Mious wouldn't be that foolish! The last time I saw energy this dazzling was at a noble female's coming-of-age ceremony!"
Wen Shu was also a bit surprised; the original owner's Healing System energy was green, yet now it had turned into a color similar to the superpower she released.
However, her strength had not recovered, the white light dimmed after a dozen seconds.
Retracting her hand, Wen Shu took a few steps back, glancing towards the males below, their eager eyes fixed on her.
A male met her gaze, excitedly waved, "Wen Shu female! I want to be your Beast Husband!"
The square was crowded with heads, male beasts roaring to squeeze to the front row and profess to the females they fancied.
The last time Wen Shu saw such a scene was during a zombie siege, visually it was equally overwhelming.
Associating both scenes made her inexplicably tense, cautiously she retreated half a step.
On the left, Belinda stood at the front, her back straight, naturally accepting the males' adoration, always confident in her allure.
"Quiet!"
The High Priest raised her staff, sternly cutting off the males.
In the Beast World, although the High Priest's power didn't surpass the tribal leader, she became the most respected figure among the beastmen as the Beast God's messenger.
The noise below subsided in response, the High Priest seriously scanned around before checking the test results from the far left.
"Ya'an female, Fourth Rank Healing System, pregnancy value 11%."
Part of the males moved to the back row, preparing to head to the registration area.
"Belinda female, Fifth Rank Purification System, pregnancy value 17%."
Hearing Belinda's test results, the males' eyes lit up, their excited gasps nearly uncontrollable.
Belinda curled her lips into a smug smile, glancing sideways at Wen Shu, imagining how colorful Wen Shu's face might be later.
When it was Wen Shu's turn, the High Priest gripped the Crystal Stone for verification, after a few seconds she furrowed her brows, rubbed her yellowed hands and checked again.
A while later, she cleared her throat with a complex expression.
"Wen Shu female…"
Some males stretched their necks, while some had already readied themselves to rush to the registration area.
"Second Order Healing System, pregnancy value…1%."
The entire conference fell silent in an instant, leaving only the High Priest coordinating the proceedings.
"Alright, females may head to the gladiator arena."
After recovering from shock, the males felt as if the sky were falling!
"How much!?"
"Why would it only be Second Order spiritual power, what was the white light earlier, are we blind!"
"Is that the point? A pregnancy value of 1%, has there ever been such a low result in pregnancy value testing!"
"Can anyone with such a low pregnancy value give birth? Is she really not a male!?"
Compared to the males' breakdown, Wen Shu briskly walked towards the gladiator arena, feeling quite pleased.
1% pregnancy value!
This is practically painless sterilization!
She didn't particularly like children, nor the cumbersome figures associated with nurturing life; anyone who had gone through the apocalypse knew it meant burdens and death.
Moreover, it could shield her from many males who pursued females feverishly for bearing offspring.
Wen Shu couldn't guarantee not mating in the future, but her future Beast Husband must hold pure and sincere feelings for her.
