The bean sprouts in the beastly world are trying to steal the beastly husband again!

Chapter 460: To achieve a goal, one must use whatever means necessary.

It has to be said that the Red Fox Chief is an orc who is good at making promises.

He didn't ask me where I came from, he just asked me because I was not an awakened orc and was abandoned.

There was nothing to ask, and a clan leader didn't have the spare time to listen to other people's complaints.

The reason why he was able to take me in was simply because I was no longer a little cub, but an adult orc with an orc form who would reach adulthood in another five winter seasons.

If a kid can make it here, he at least has the ability to survive.

The Fox Tribe needs a lot of orcs to pay taxes, and as for the females...how can an orc who has not awakened be favored by females?

It was nothing more than a cake, but I ate it with great relish at that time. I was thinking if it could be done as Bai Shi said, gently and again.

Maybe some female will choose me.

So I moved into a bamboo house where a group of single orcs lived, and they looked at me with curiosity.

"A white fox? It feels so small! Can you pay the tax?"

A red-haired man smiled at me, thought for a moment, and took down a palm-sized piece of jerky from the wall. "Eat it. You are still a cub. If you were a red fox, the chief would definitely not put you together with us adult orcs."

I shook my head and whispered, "I can hunt and I can't eat your food."

This tribe is very weak. The tribe leader is only a blue ring, and there is only one blue ring orc, and he is already old.

"Hehe! You little cub are quite interesting! I'll give you a bite to eat, but when you grow up, don't compete with us for the females."

Several orcs burst into laughter. I took my thin luggage off my back, which was a tattered animal skin wrapped with a few small pieces of dried meat.

Well...that's all my belongings.

I followed their example and hung the jerky on the wall. They felt like they had discovered a new world when they saw a white fox doing this.

"Hook, you're hanging here, aren't you afraid that we'll eat you up?" an orc said with a smile.

I glanced at him and said calmly, "The tribe has an obligation to protect our food. If anyone steals food, they will be expelled or killed. Isn't it for this reason that you hang the food on the wall without worry?"

What a tribe hates most is thieves.

Several males looked at me and said this, then they were speechless for a moment and went about their own business.

I live here and I don't like hunting with others because I'm afraid the same thing will happen again.

If someone stabs me in the back, I will fall in a pool of blood just like Bai Shi.

So my survival was very difficult. Basically, after paying taxes, I only had enough to fill my stomach. I even had to go hungry when the rainy and cold seasons came.

Five winter seasons passed in a flash. Even though life was very difficult, I still enjoyed it.

Because the people here don't blame me or resent me, and apart from going hungry occasionally, there's nothing wrong with me.

This place...can be called my second home.

I was always grateful for this home, until I grew up and took on the form of an orc, when the people here became less friendly.

Because I am a fox who cannot awaken the beast ring.

In my first year of adulthood, the male roommate looked at me at night and said nervously, "Fox, are you going to participate in the Adult Day? You can't support the female, and you will be a burden to the female's husband. Do you want to participate?"

I think, because Bai Shi said that being weak is not scary. As long as you are a gentle fox, you can be chosen by females.

I said, "Well... I won't be a burden. If you are afraid that I will be a burden to the family, you don't have to choose me."

This is my true thought. I don’t have any female favorite, and of course I don’t pursue females normally. Bai Shi said that you can’t pursue a female casually.

Your likes cannot become a burden to a female.

When I was a child, I didn’t understand what Bai Shi meant. Now I understand that what he meant was that your gentleness cannot wrap up the thoughts of a female at the beginning.

Being gentle to a certain person can put a lot of pressure on that person.

So, I am gentle to everyone, at least on the surface, but if I see a female, I will stay away from her.

After all, Bai Shi also said that males need to keep their distance from females, otherwise it would be unfair to their partners.

"But, you have such a good temper and you look so pretty. What if a female chooses you? Wouldn't that be a big loss?"

At night, there was jealousy and temptation in the red fox's eyes, but more importantly, he felt that an orc like me who could not awaken the beast ring was not worthy of owning a female.

I looked at him steadily and said, "What if I must participate?"

Red Fox's eyes flickered, and after a while he spoke: "Hook, they said that as long as you go on stage, they will beat you down immediately and will not show mercy."

I nodded and attended my Coming of Age Day as usual, and just as he had said, I was severely humiliated and then kicked off the stage.

There was surprise in the female's eyes when she looked at me, but when I was completely restrained by the power of the green ring orc and thrown off the stage, the female's gaze disappeared.

At that moment, I felt that Bai Shi was wrong. No matter how gentle a person is, if he doesn't have any strength, he can't win the favor of females.

I didn’t go to the Coming of Age Day in the following winter seasons.

Because I suddenly felt that it was too difficult to have the love of a female, and I didn't have the ability to give her everything she wanted.

until--

That day, a female collapsed at the entrance of the tribe. I looked at her thin body and thought of the day when I left the snow-capped mountains.

I thought...she was so pitiful, a female could be so thin that she was just skin and bones.

I dragged her, who was already unconscious, into the tribe and asked them to take over. The tribe would feed her and she would be able to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony in this winter season.

There would be a companion, a companion who hunted and could make her... grow better.

However, this year on Coming of Age Day I plan to try my luck again, not for a female, but for taxes.

The tax for singles has increased again this winter season. If I really have to pay that tax, I may not be able to survive the winter season.

I have given up on getting a female, but males with mates pay a small tax.

This makes me very tempted. I can hand over the mark of the beast and never touch her again, because I am too weak to compete with others and I just want to pay less taxes.

Life is hard enough, why should we compete with others for the affection of females?

I know very well that I am different from Bai Shi in my bones. I am not of his blood. I can imitate his gentleness, but his determination to do anything just to survive is not similar to him at all.

On my coming-of-age day, I looked at the green-ringed orc on the stage and still walked onto the stage. I tried hard to look pitiful.

Because Bai Shi said that females are all kind-hearted.

The little female mentioned that when she first saw me, she said I felt broken.

I'm just pretending.

The last time I came to the ring was different from this time. This time I came with a purpose.

If you have a goal, you should always use whatever means necessary.
