665 Bad Luck
Huanhuan was speechless. “Eggy is only half a year old. It’s too early to be thinking about mates.”
“This isn’t considered early. Many male beasts came to ask for marriage when the females are first born. If they’re late, the females will be snatched away by other male beasts.”
In this continent where females were rare, male beasts had to make early plans if they wanted to obtain the right to mate.
Even if the other party was a young girl, they had to think of a way to keep an eye on her. They could not let anyone snatch her away.
Huanhuan remained relatively open to her children’s marriages. No matter how powerful the other party was, the children had to like them first.
“Eggy is still young. We’ll talk about mates when she grows up. Besides, I can’t make the decision alone. Her father’s opinion is important too.”
Mu Xiang muttered, “Xue Ling is an elder of the feather tribe. If he wants to find a mate for his daughter in the future, he’ll definitely prioritize the male beasts of the feather tribe. Those boys of mine probably won’t catch his eye.”
Huanhuan couldn’t express her opinion on this matter. To her, wolf beasts and birds were the same. She didn’t favor any particular tribe.
Speaking of her daughter’s marriage, Huanhuan thought of her eldest daughter. “Has Big Goody not met a suitable male beast in the past two years?”
Mu Xiang’s expression became indescribable. “Big Goody is good-looking and has a good personality. Of course, there are many male beasts pursuing her. My boys have pursued her before.”
Any mother would be happy to hear others praise their daughter, and Huanhuan was no exception.
“What happened then? Why did your boys give up?”
Mu Xiang looked plaintive. “Because they can’t beat your Big Goody.”
Huanhuan was speechless.
She refused to give up and asked, “There’s not a single male beast who can beat Big Goody?”
“Of course, there are male beasts who can beat Big Goody, but those male beasts aren’t young. Coupled with their strength, they’ve long found a female mate they like.”
The male beasts who could defeat Big Goody were already taken. As for the ones who couldn’t beat her, she looked down on them.
That was why Big Goody was still single.
Mu Xiang sighed. “When I was as old as Big Goody, I already had two mates.”
All the females on the beast continent would quickly find male beasts to be their mates after they reached adulthood. Only Big Goody was still single even after almost two years.
Although Huanhuan felt that this matter was a little funny, she was not too worried.
In her opinion, Big Goody had just reached 20 years old and was still young. There was no need to worry too much about her not finding a mate.
Love came down to fate. When fate arrived, it would naturally happen.
…
Shuang Yin was distracted today. She had a feeling that something important was about to happen.
She walked past the camp expressionlessly. From time to time, young male beasts would take off their clothes and flex their muscles to show off their figures, but she ignored them.
Shuang Yin, who was already an adult, was tall. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail behind her head. She walked valiantly and imposingly.
When she reached the training ground, she saw Shuang Lin and Shuang Hua sparring.
The two of them faced each other bare-chested. At first glance, they looked very intense, but Big Goody could tell at a glance that these two were just pretending.
None of their fists landed on the key points. They all intentionally or unintentionally avoided places where they could directly restrain the other party.
Shuang Yin strode over, grabbed her brothers with each hand, pressed them to the ground, and beat them up.
She beat her two brothers until they cried out.
Shuang Yin retracted her hand and frowned at her two brothers on the ground. “I told you to practice more. Are you thinking of fooling me?”
Shuang Lin and Shuang Hua lay on the ground, pretending to be dead. They did not dare to face their sister’s anger.
Shuang Yin lifted their calves neither gently nor aggressively. “Alright, stop pretending to be dead. Hurry up and get up. Pack up and prepare to go home.”
Upon hearing this, the two brothers immediately got up and asked excitedly, “We don’t have to do extra practice today?”
“No, we’re going home.” Shuang Yin rubbed her temples, looking depressed.
“Sister, are you feeling unwell?”
“No, I just have a strange feeling that something is about to happen.”
The youngest, Shuang Hua, widened his eyes and asked especially seriously, “Could it be that you have a premonition that you might find luck in the love department today?”
Shuang Lin immediately continued, “Really? Can our eldest sister finally get married?”
“I’m so excited!”
“Let’s clap and celebrate!”
…
The two brothers, who had gotten carried away, were pressed to the ground by Shuang Yin again. They finally became obedient.
Shuang Hua hugged his head and cried, “Sister, if you continue to be so violent, no one will dare to marry you!”
“Oh.” Shuang Yin looked cold.
She didn’t care even if she couldn’t find a mate or died alone.
Anyway, to her, the meaning of life lay in the battlefield and her family, not love.
“Where’s Second Brother?”
Shuang Lin said, “Second Brother went hunting.”
“Go get him.”
“Oh.” Shuang Lin got up from the ground. After leaving the camp, he went to the nearby forest to find Shuang Mu.
Shuang Mu had just beaten a red-haired fox. Because he was very accurate, the fox’s fur was very intact.
He carried the fox back. Shuang Lin glanced at the red-haired fox in his hand and couldn’t help but ask, “From the color of the fox skin, you must’ve hunted it to gift the fur to a female, right?”
Shuang Mu chuckled but didn’t answer.
Seeing him like this, Shuang Lin immediately knew that he had guessed correctly. He quickly leaned over and asked, “Tell me, which female is it? What does she look like? Is she as good-looking as our mother?”
Shuang Mu said in embarrassment, “Her name is Yan Yan. She’s from the Snow Deer Tribe.”
There were many deer beasts in the entire Rock City, but there were only a handful of does. Shuang Lin thought about it and quickly remembered. “Oh! I remember now. It’s that little girl! She’s not good-looking. She’s far inferior to our mother!”
Shuang Mu rolled his eyes at him. “If you look for a mate following Mom’s standards, you’ll probably be single for the rest of your life.”
“So be it. Big Sister is still a bachelorette anyway.”
“You’re courting death. If she hears you, you’ll be beaten up again.”
Shuang Lin quickly covered his mouth and looked around. After confirming that there were only the two of them nearby, he was relieved and muttered softly, “Fortunately, she didn’t hear me. Otherwise, I’d be in trouble.”
Shuang Mu raised his hand and knocked his head. “You should be more careful!”
The brothers chatted as they walked and quickly returned to the camp.
Shuang Yin glanced at the red-haired fox in Shuang Mu’s hand. “Is this the prey you hunted today?”
“That’s right. It’s rare to see a fox with such a bright color, so I attacked it.” Shuang Mu suddenly shuddered. “Do you like this color? Why don’t I make you a coat with this fox skin?”
Shuang Yin laughed. “You hunted this prey to please your future mate. I don’t want it.”
Shuang Mu blushed at being exposed, but he couldn’t say anything to refute it. He could only quickly change the topic. “Let’s go. Let’s go home.”
