Chapter 111: Saint's Identity
After Chu Xinyao fell asleep, Yu Zijing knocked on her sister's cabin door.
"Sisters, are you asleep?"
The door opened, and Yu Zi, smiling, pulled him inside and closed the door.
"Why aren't you with your Yu'er?"
"Sister, I need your help."
Yu Zijing quickly told her sister about Chu Xinyao's desire to find her beast husband.
Fish Roe and Shark Shadow exchanged a glance, both of them showing surprise in their eyes.
Jiao Ying frowned and suddenly said, "Are you talking about the Ink Serpent Clan Chief, the White Tiger Young Clan Chief, and the Red Crane Young Clan Chief?"
These individuals are of considerable status. Apart from the young chieftain of the Red Crane Clan, the other two tribes are even stronger than his Moyi tribe. In particular, Chief Mo of the Ink Serpent Clan is the strongest among the younger generation.
The Moi tribe had been cooperating with Shemo for many years and knew that the orc was no ordinary person.
Yu Zijing nodded.
Yu Zi sighed, "Little brother, you and Yu'er haven't held your marriage ceremony yet, have you?"
"Yes."
"Do you like Yu'er?" Yu Zi looked at her younger brother. She knew him very well. Over the years, he had focused on breaking through to the ninth rank and had never shown any particular interest in any female.
Without hesitation, Yu Zijing looked at his sister and said firmly, "Sister, I have already decided on Yu'er."
A look of relief flashed in Yu Zi's eyes. Her younger brother had finally found his other half. She gently patted his shoulder to show her support.
"Then don't worry, leave the task of finding them to your sister."
"However, the most important thing at this stage is for you to become Yu'er's partner." Jiao Ying's gaze pierced through the night as she emphasized firmly.
He knew very well that the Ink Serpent Tribe firmly believed in monogamy, a deeply ingrained traditional concept. Although he didn't know why his sister Yu'er had another beast mate, the fact that Yu Zijing hadn't yet paired with Yu'er was a significant problem for them.
In the Beast God Continent, marriage is not just the union of two beastmen, but also a connection between two families or even two tribes.
Yu Zijing nodded, knowing that Jiao Ying was right. He harbored deep feelings for Yu'er, but he also understood that these feelings needed a formal ceremony to confirm them.
"I want to find a partner, but Yu'er..."
Chu Xinyao once said that they only got together because they came back, and he wasn't entirely sure if she was truly willing to be his partner.
Yu Zi noticed her younger brother's hesitation, so she took his hand and gave him strength.
“Little brother, I can see that Yu’er has feelings for you.” Her voice was gentle. “Her eyes. Her smile. It’s all because of you. Moreover, there’s something between you that other beast husbands don’t have: Yu’er is carrying your cub. So, even if you’re not the first beast husband, you’re still the most important person in her heart.”
Yu Zijing looked up, her eyes shining with hope, "Really?"
His voice trembled slightly as he longed for a positive answer and confirmation of his place in Chu Xinyao's heart.
“But Yu’er still has the cubs of the first beast husband, Snake Ink. Her first litter was born half a year ago, and this is her second litter. They are all Snake Ink’s cubs, and she already has sixteen little cubs.”
"what?"
Fish Roe and Shark Shadow exclaimed almost simultaneously, their faces filled with shock.
"How much did you say?" A hint of disbelief flashed in Yu Zi's eyes, and her hand unconsciously tightened its grip on Jiao Ying's.
Samehada frowned, his eyes filled with doubt. "Sixteen?" he repeated the number, as if trying to make sure he hadn't misheard.
He knew that snakes lay many young at a time, but not such a terrifying number. Sixteen offspring in two litters was an incredible reproductive capacity.
As if he had thought of something, he frowned and pondered deeply.
Yu Zi took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "This news is indeed shocking," she said slowly, "but since Yu'er is willing to bear your child, it shows that her feelings for you are genuine."
Jiaoying nodded, a determined look in her eyes. "Yes, this news, though unexpected, has given us an opportunity. We must seize this opportunity to strengthen our connection with Yu'er and let her feel the warmth of our family."
Yu Zijing nodded and said gratefully to Yu Zi and Jiao Ying, "Okay, I'll bring up the matter of becoming partners with Yu'er tomorrow."
"Thank you for your support." She reached out and hugged her sister, expressing her gratitude.
After Yu Zijing left, Yu Zi and Jiao Ying sat down and talked.
"Ying, what do you think?" Yu Zi asked somewhat uneasily.
Jiaoying sighed, "I think I've guessed it. Sister Yu'er must be the legendary Holy Maiden."
"Holy Maiden! But it's only been a hundred years since the Holy Son last appeared, how could a Holy Maiden descend again?"
Yu Zi was a little nervous. The arrival of the Holy Maiden was no simple matter. She looked towards the Holy City, wondering if the Holy City knew about Yu'er's situation.
"What do we do now?"
Jiao Ying's eyes narrowed slightly. "This matter is of utmost importance. However, since Yu'er is the Holy Maiden, we must keep this a secret. I will go and contact the people in the tribe to find Yu'er's three beast husbands."
"okay."
“However, Zi,” Jiao Ying’s voice softened, “we also need to be prepared. If Yu’er is truly a saintess, then we must seize the opportunity even more. She is the dream of the entire continent. With a saintess, our tribes will soon become the strongest tribes. Also, have Bubble get ready. If possible, let him become Yu’er’s beast husband as well.”
Yu Zi looked at him in surprise. She knew the Saintess's importance, but she had never considered using Yu'er. "Bubble? But Bubble already has someone she likes?"
"She's just a female, how can she compare to Yu'er!"
"Can......"
“Zi, do you know what Yu’er’s powerful fertility means? She has sixteen children in two pregnancies, and there’s still the little fish dragon in her belly waiting to be born. How many of them will be of red-level aptitude? If our race has so many offspring like Yu Zijing or Paopao, how can we worry about declining?”
Moreover, with the Saintess's spiritual power protecting her, wouldn't it be easy for Yu Zijing to break through to the ninth rank? And what about our Bubble? Doesn't it also have a chance to break through to the ninth rank?
Fish Roe's heart wavered, but her reason told her that she could not go against Bubble's wishes.
“No,” she firmly objected. “Bubble already has a female he likes. If there are beastmen in the merfolk who like Yu’er, and Yu’er agrees, I can help him preside over the marriage ceremony. But Bubble, I still want to respect his opinion.”
Jiaoying looked at his partner, a helpless expression on his face. Seeing her resolute attitude, he said nothing more. But his heart was still filled with plans for the future of the tribe.
