Chapter 5 How Dare She!

As these words were spoken, many young Beastmen turned to look at her.

Cain Shezadlin suddenly said, "That's all according to you, who knows if you have an older brother up there. It's not impossible to lie just to avoid the Female Cave."

Lin Lang frowned, wanting to stop Cain, but after glancing at Sally's face, he decided not to.

"The female stone shows no reaction; this is unprecedented," Grom looked at Sally as if trying to see through her.

"Then, let's begin the final phase of the adult ceremony, the female competition. It is for the males to choose a female, and for the females to decide."

Lin Lang was the first to raise his hand, "I choose Sally Millet."

All eyes suddenly turned to him. He was a sought-after male in this competition, and it would have surprised no one if he had chosen Ashley, even a union of the strong was generally welcomed by all.

Both Ashley and Rona's expressions changed when he uttered the name Sally Millet.

Grom was also taken aback as he looked at Lin Lang, "Lin Lang, are you certain? A male only has one opportunity to choose."

Lin Lang said, "I want her."

"Her Fertility Strength is unknown."

"So what if she can't bear children? The tribe's lineage won't suffer from my absence."

"But you are a Caro, a descendant of a warrior family, the youngest and most powerful male of my tribe, gifted with Yellow Rank Earth Element. It should be a female with strong Fertility Strength who bears your offspring."

This statement was almost a hint for him to choose his granddaughter, Ashley Gusar.

Sally took a step forward, stood still, and asked, "In that case, how much dowry does Lin Lang the warrior have?!"

Dowry, not bride price. That meant she intended to be the primary wife.

Robby Millet was utterly dumbstruck.

His sister was so daring! She was so thin, her Fertility Strength was unknown, yet how could she boldly demand Lin Lang Caro to submit and become her Beast Husband.

Sally looked at Lin Lang.

Lin Lang's lips curled up with a devil-may-care smirk as he casually pulled the pouch hanging from his waist, "Sixteen Crystal Coins."

Clatter—sixteen shiny, translucent Crystal Coins of various colors poured out of the pouch.

The crowd gasped.

In the outermost periphery of the Senyu Beast Forest lurked ordinary beasts.

But within the deeper woods dwelled Demon Beasts, mightier than ordinary beasts.

Demon Beasts were naturally cunning; they could steal the talents of Beastmen by devouring those with special abilities, and were it not for their inability to morph into humans and their lack of speech, they would nearly pass as a kind of Beastman.

Demon Beasts were the common enemy of all Beastmen, and exterminating them was a collective goal.

And Crystal Coins were the crystals found inside Demon Beasts.

The higher the purity of the crystal, the stronger the Demon Beast.

The sixteen that Lin Lang had produced were each clear and bright, undoubtedly Superior quality, which only great Demon Beasts harbored within.

One Superior Crystal Coin could be traded for one hundred thousand Red Coins, meaning this was a sum of one million six hundred thousand Red Coins.

It was unquestionably an immense fortune.

Whether or not he had slain the Demon Beasts himself, this was a symbol of strength and wealth.

Lin Lang asked, "Is that sufficient?"

All eyes landed on Sally at once.

Sixteen Superior Crystal Coins, converted to the past, the change alone would have been enough to marry Ashley off.

Ashley's face turned extremely unsightly.

Not just her, Rona's jealous eyes couldn't help but lance towards Sally, since the male she fancied was also Lin Lang.

Sally didn't know the exact value of the Crystal Coins, but judging by the reactions of the other females, it must have been a very impressive dowry indeed.

'Thud thud thud—thud thud thud—thud thud thud—...' Outside, the sound of drumming with a very rhythmic urgency began to echo.
