Chapter 120: 5.22 First Violet Star - Elders
Once Xuebao joined the group, the process between the talk of two tribes got easier. But as they knew, the decision for the two tribes won't be finalized until the elders from the two tribes all agree. This is why Shizi and Xuebao had an agreent to have the tribe leaders and elders of both tribes have a private eting. The place would be here.
The place there now is the boundary line between the territory of Lune and Soleil Tribe. A huge tent would be erected in this place by small tribes from both sides. The plan is for the two tribe leaders and all elders from both sides to et and confront each other. The eting would be done a week later. Xuebao and Shizi had seven days to convince their tribe's elders to agree to this eting. With that a representative from both sides had been chosen to beco the ssenger.
On Shizi's side he had chosen his second in command, Chiya, a warrior leader like izhou. Normally as it goes, izhou should be the one to beco the representative for the Lune Tribe but there is lots of opposition when this is raised. After all izhou is a warrior that has strength that could even contend with the current tribe leader of the Soleil Tribe which is Shizi. It would be like inviting a lion in a flock of wolves. As long as izhou was able to assassinate Shizi, the Soleil Tribe would be no more. This is what frightened the tribesn of the Soleil Tribe.
Because of this problem Xuebao raised another idea. Instead of just one representative from both tribes they should send two instead. This is to allow the representatives to not feel like an outcast in the other tribe. Hearing this suggestion both sides had agreed without problem and things were finalized from the first eting.
...
Representatives:
Soleil Tribe: Warrior Leader, Chiya and a female warrior, Rina. (These two are a couple)
Lune Tribe: Warrior Captain, Laohu and Tribe Doctor, Sheya
...
Choosing Sheya as a representative is Xuebao's decision. He wanted this doctor to beco a representative not only because he worried about Laohu's lack of brains but also for a different reason. It was because of what his System Yue who returned to being a moon, inford him about sothing unexpected.
Xuebao's thoughts. Talking to his system, "Are you sure he was that person?"
[Yes, Host. Shizi had the sa soul as that man whose position is to serve the Lord God. He is also the warden that looks after the soul that possesses Sheya's vessel.]
"Doesn't this an that the silly rabbit only has two male leads in this world. izhou would be impossible since he had my husband's soul. Sheya has Yun Ming's soul and this Shizi is that warden's vessel. Well~ I guess with this the rabbit's harem has been reduced to only two which is Lang and Xiong. Could they even satisfy him?"
[Pfft! S-Should be? Don't worry host I'll just send him special gifts to compensate him for his loss of harem. Kekeke~]
"Sigh~ you've really been corrupted with a virus, Yue~"
[I'm not! This is Yue's real personality! Tsun! Tsun!]
"Anyway you are coming with him. Go record the side of Soleil for ."
[Affirmative, host!]
Once the eting had been adjourned. Both sides had split and returned to their ho. The representatives would arrive in the tribe tomorrow at noon and as promised, Shizi and Xuebao, would secure the lives of the representatives that would co over to each tribe. A vow to the Beast God was made for this situation. A vow made to the beast god is like swearing to the heavenly laws. It cannot be taken back nor go against else you'll be receiving a heaven's punishnt.
Everyone returned to where they co from.
---
Lune Tribe
Tribe eting.
As soon as everyone had returned to the tribe Xuebao and izhou reported to the tribe leader and elder about the result of their journey. At the beginning of the eting Xuebao first inford them the news about the cave they would use as shelter for the incoming snowstorm.
Xuebao spoke, "The cave had been secured. A'i killed the dinosaur king, Tyrannosaurus Rex, on his own~" he reported with a huge grin.
The Tribe Leader and elders gasped as they all collectively stared at izhou who is currently doing his task as his wife's chair. Xuebao is seated on his lap during the eting and he was ignoring everyone else except for his wife. Countless eyes landed on him but izhou paid no heed to their gazes, his focus was on his wife's hands which he is now massaging to pass ti. As usual Xuebao allowed him to do whatever he wanted.
Zhubao, the tribe leader asked, "He really defeated it alone!? You didn't help at all!?" There's a clear disbelief and shock on his old face.
Xuebao nodded without hesitation. "Yes! I swear to the Beast God." he said.
Once the elders heard Xuebao sworn to their Beast God, they had no other choice but to believe. Now the way they look at izhou is not that much different when looking at Xuebao. They could only praise the Beast God that this monstrous couple is soone of their tribe else they wouldn't know how they have died in war.
Tribe Priest Anbao asked, "I heard Tutu almost got lost. What really happened?"
The elder's expression turned grim at this question. The father of the said mastermind for the incident had an even uglier expression when he saw his friends looking at him like he had done a wrong thing when it was his child who did the incorrect action.
"I'm saying this now. You can punish that child according to the tribe rules. This is sothing he had done without this old man knowing. I've never influenced Sia to do such a malicious thing!" said the father of the female beastman Sia.
"Okay. Calm down you old thing! We aren't blaming you. But... that child really did a wrong thing. Even it wasn't Tuzi who got targeted but soone else. It was taboo in our tribe to harm other tribe mbers."
"I know. That's why I said I wouldn't protect the child. J-Just... please don't kill him."
"Sigh~ I won't bestow death penalty as Tutu was saved on ti. But... his punishnt wouldn't be light at all. Just be prepared." said Zhubao, the tribe leader.
"I understand Leader." said the father of Sia. "As long as he isn't dead... He should be able to change..."
"Can you tell us the details of what happened, Baobao?" asked Zhubao to his son.
"Okay." replied Xuebao.
Xuebao explained the whole event that happened during the hunt. He inford them about what the female fox beastman had done in accordance with what Tuzi had told him. Including being pushed off the cliff and only surviving thanks to the river under the cliff.
When the elders heard about this part they couldn't help but praise Tuzi for his abundant luck. Normally falling on the river during winter had a higher chance of being impaled by icicles within the river. Tuzi falling to a soft, half solid ice is a luck that saves his life. What the elders didn't know is that with Tuzi's strengthened protagonist halo, it would be impossible for him to get killed in such a la way. It was not luck but because of the protection of the heavenly laws of this world.
Then Xuebao also inford them about their eting with the tribe leader of Soleil Tribe. When he was in this part of the story most elders in the tribe had enraged expressions on their faces especially when they heard that Xuebao had agreed to such a thing.
"No way! Just no!"
"I also don't agree!!"
"I will also not say Yes to this nonsense!!!"
There are only a few elders like Anbao and Zhubao who remain silent while observing Xuebao who is explaining the whole thing to them. Obviously they noticed that there is sothing weird going on with Xuebao's decision.
"Young Leader. I hope you don't forget that it was because of the Soleil Tribe that you have lost your dad!!"
(A/n: The female beastman is called dad by their children while the male beastman partner is called father instead.)
BAM!!!
Once an elder overstepped his boundaries, Zhubao bam his fist on the wooden table instantly destroying it. This show of anger from the tribe leader is enough to bring silence inside the tent.
Zhubao glared at the elder who last spoke about his wife.
"Who allowed you to speak to my son about his dad!!? Hah!!" said Zhubao.
The elder who knew that he had overstepped his position had to bow his head and apologized to the tribe leader. According to the tribe rules, no one is allowed to interfere with other tribesn's family unless one of the family had done a thing that went against the tribe laws. But what the elder did is not within this bound and him interfering is beyond what he is allowed. Him scolding Xuebao when Zhubao the father is keeping silent instead is a clear gesture of going beyond his position as an elder. He is a tribe elder but not a family mber of Xuebao. He is not allowed to reprimand Xuebao about his dad when he is an outsider.
"Forgive . I've exceeded my boundaries!" the elder apologized.
But Zhubao, their tribe leader, just snorted at him. This ti he looked at his expressionless son with reddening eyes due to holding back his rage. He cannot believe that his own son would accept the reconciliation between two tribes when it was the latter who caused his own dad's death. He just couldn't assent it.
When Zhubao sees izhou's protective gesture he instantly calms down his anger but the resentnt is still visible within his eyes.
Zhubao questioned, "Why is it Baobao? They were the once who killed your dad? How could you accept this!?" he said.
"Father. No one is right in war!" said Xuebao.
Everyone in the area is an adult. If you removed the bias in their minds they would be able to accept this rationally but most beastn were emotional. This kind of reason isn't enough to convince them.
"I do not accept it! Xuebao." said Zhubao.
Xuebao gave them a satirical smile, "Who would accept it? I didn't! and Shizi wouldn't!" he said.
"Then why!!?" asked Zhubao.
This ti it was izhou who answered his question.
izhou answered in Xuebao instead. "Because this is the only way to protect the tribe!"
Once they heard izhou replied they couldn't help but look at them weirdly. There's only doubt and puzzlent in their eyes and face. They couldn't understand the reason why this couple could massacre a whole tribe if they wanted to agree to such a clear discredit offer. They wouldn't be able to achieve anything by agreeing to this nonsense.
izhou continued to explain. "Did you think us looking for a suitable cave to be used during the snowstorm in such an urgent manner is because of no reason at all! We had no other choice but to look for it. Snowstorms were usually only scheduled to co during the last month of winter.
I and Bao'er could have looked for a cave a month or a few months later before the last month of this season arrived. But we didn't. Instead we had to make sure to look for a cave ahead of ti because Bao'er and a dream that the snowstorm would be arriving in this month instead of the last month! This is because Xuebao had a revelation in his dreams."
Once the elders heard about this, everyone was shocked to the core. They were all speechless in what they've heard. Usually only tribe priests receive revelations in their dreams and this revelation all happened at the sa ti. The priests of all tribes receive the sa. But there are unique cases like Xuebao, who are personally chosen by the Beast God, to receive revelation before the rest. This is because they have enough strength to make changes in their own destiny.
Even the tribe priest Anbao was shocked. "B-But this... this is..."
"I was told that the priests would be receiving the revelations tonight in your dreams. You guys could make your decision tomorrow for that case. After tonight you would also be inford by Uncle An about the reason why agree to the reconciliation with the Soleil Tribe. You guys should wait for tomorrow because no one would believe in my words no matter what I say today. I would be staying in izhou's place for tonight. Excuse us for today." said Xuebao.
izhou carried Xuebao in his arms as they left the tent where the tribe etings occurred. No one convinced the two to stay as they really didn't believe what they've said. There is only silence inside the place after the pair left.
anwhile izhou carried his wife back to his place with an unconcerned expression on their faces. They really didn't lie. The revelation coming from the heavenly laws were indeed passed to the tribe priests of each tribe in this world. It's just that the revelation isn't supposed to happen tonight but 2 weeks from now. izhou ordered Yue to have a talk with the heavenly laws of this world using Xuebao's original authority. The command is to give the revelations tonight instead.
With Xuebao's identity as soone from the top. The heavenly laws could only agree to his command but on the premises that his request is not to go against the rules under the Divine Laws. Zhi Yue had Xuebao's command recorded in data form. He would send it to the database of this world for the heavenly laws to receive the ssage. System Yue had just returned from his mission.
[Host, My Lord. The commands have been approved. They would pass the revelation tonight as you've wished.]
"That's good then. This only ans no one wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully tonight. My husband, I want to eat beef steak for dinner." said Xuebao.
izhou smiled and pecked those cherry lips, "I will personally cook your dinner my baby~" he said.
The sa scene happened in Soleil Tribe as well. Shizi was also inford by Xuebao about this revelation. After Xuebao vowed that all his words about these revelations aren't a lie, Shizi had unconditionally believed him. This is why he inford the elder about the snowstorm that is scheduled to co 3 weeks from now and about the other surprising news that will convince the whole tribe to agree to his plan to accept the alliance with the Lune Tribe. Because after receiving the revelation tonight no one wouldn't not agree to his plan.
