PNB Chapter 316: Doubts about the Lion King's Identity
Chapter 316: Doubts about the Lion King's Identity
The lion king walked to the center and coughed twice, and then the whole square became quiet.
"Everyone knows that a female came to the tribe today..."
Following the Lion King's words, everyone's attention shifted to He Jiaojiao, and He Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, this was a Hongmen Banquet!
"But what everyone doesn't know is that He Jiaojiao is a holy female blessed by the goddess..."
As expected, once He Jiaojiao's identity was revealed, the surrounding gazes completely changed. The females were filled with envy, while the males were extremely enthusiastic, some even regretting not approaching her earlier. Now that her identity as the Saint Female had been revealed, they were afraid they wouldn't even be able to get in line.
Mo Ran narrowed his eyes slightly. He had originally looked down on the Lion King, thinking that he didn't look like a tribal king at all. Now he saw that he was indeed a person who was not worthy of being in the public eye. He had not even discussed it with them before directly exposing Jiaojiao's identity.
As if sensing the murderous intent in Mo Ran's eyes, the Lion King hurriedly spoke again, "As far as I know, the Saint Female only has eight partners. If anyone has any ideas..."
"Lion King!"
Xing Ci strode directly to the lion king, then turned to face the orcs in front of him. He curled the corners of his lips and showed a contemptuous smile.
Seeing this smile, He Jiaojiao knew what he wanted to do, but for now she could only silently observe two minutes of silence for the males present.
The next moment, 90% of the orcs in the square knelt down directly, some even prostrated themselves on the ground, and only a few were half-kneeling there, still gritting their teeth and persevering.
"If you want to become Jiaojiao's partner, you have to at least pass this test!" Xing Ci said, glancing at the people present with a relaxed look. "Back then, even I spent a lot of effort and even nearly lost my life twice before I won Jiaojiao's favor. As for you... you decide for yourselves!"
Upon hearing that such a strong male hadn't been immediately noticed by He Jiaojiao, most people gave up. After all, no one wanted to run into any obstacles. Of course, there were still a few who wanted to try their luck.
"Oh...right!" Xing Ci, who was about to return, suddenly seemed to remember something. "He's Jiaojiao's number one beast husband. He must be at least eight or nine stars. If you're confident you can beat him, you're welcome to come and try!"
Following the direction of Xing Ci's finger, everyone saw a cold-faced snake beastman.
This holy female is indeed not simple. She was attacked by two cold-blooded orcs, and they both seem to be extremely powerful. Now they have no chance at all. It’s good enough that they are not beaten to death.
The lion king didn't expect He Jiaojiao to let her partner act like this, and immediately felt embarrassed. "Oh, the Saint Female already has so many powerful partners, so there's no need to look for so many experts. Just recruit some gentle and caring males, so that they are easier to take care of!"
Xing Ci glanced at the Lion King coldly, "Lion King, do you think that with so many companions like us, we can't take care of a Saint Female?"
Seeing that the two sides were about to draw swords, He Jiaojiao hurriedly stepped forward to make her position clear, "Actually, I'm just passing through the Lion King Tribe this time, and I'm not planning on looking for a new partner."
The few males who were originally eager to try it suddenly felt boring after hearing what He Jiaojiao said, so they gave up the idea.
But this made the Lion King a little anxious. If someone in the tribe could become the Holy Female's partner and give birth to a few more litters of cubs, then the ability of the Lion King's tribe would definitely be improved.
"Oh, He Jiaojiao, you just arrived and are not familiar with the males here. Besides, the males in our Lion King Tribe all have very special abilities, which you definitely don't have."
Although He Jiaojiao was indeed very interested in teleportation, she was very sure that she could not form a relationship just for this reason.
"Lion King!" Xing Ci directly blocked the Lion King's view of He Jiaojiao. If Jiaojiao hadn't warned him not to cause trouble, how could the Lion King still be standing there? "Interest doesn't necessarily mean a partnership. Besides, I don't think your abilities will give you much of an advantage over me."
The Lion King's face froze. Indeed, most of the orcs with teleportation abilities were not of high level and usually only used them to send messages or escape. They would not be able to gain any advantage against a warrior like the one in front of them.
Seeing that the Lion King didn't say anything, Xing Ci smiled coldly, strode back to He Jiaojiao, grabbed her shoulder and was about to leave.
After all, he was the Lion King. This was the first time he was treated so humiliatingly. He clenched his fists and finally, with a determined heart, rushed forward to block He Jiaojiao.
"I put up with you guys before because I thought you were my guests, but aren't you guys going too far?"
He Jiaojiao was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the Lion King would be able to stand up. She thought he would keep enduring it!
"Then the Lion King announced my identity without my consent. Isn't that too much?"
The lion king hadn't expected that He Jiaojiao, a seemingly delicate female, could be so assertive. But then again, her partners were all so strong, so she certainly had the capital to be assertive.
But as the lion king, it would be ok for him to be controlled by a male, but it would be too embarrassing for him to be controlled by a female.
"He Jiaojiao, I'm doing this for your own good. No matter how strong your partner is, there will be times when he can't take care of you. At that time, how important is a male who can take you away?"
He Jiaojiao couldn't hold back her laughter anymore, "Hahahahahahaha~"
There was a series of laughter, not only the Lion King was confused, but even Mo Ran and Xing Ci were a little confused, but they did not show it.
"Are you really the king of the Lion King Tribe?"
He Jiaojiao finally stopped laughing and looked at the lion king in front of her very seriously.
No matter what, he is the leader of a tribe. Why does he keep talking about running away? This is really unconscionable.
There was a flash of panic in the Lion King's eyes, but he quickly calmed down. After all, He Jiaojiao didn't have any evidence. Could she convince everyone with just her mouth?
"He Jiaojiao, originally I just wanted you to choose a warrior from our tribe as your partner. I didn't expect you to tolerate your partner humiliating our warriors time and time again, and now you're even going so far as to humiliate me. You're really going too far."
After saying this, the Lion King glanced at everyone and said, "Warriors of the tribe, are you really going to stand by and watch being humiliated like this without resisting?"
He Jiaojiao's heart suddenly sank. She didn't expect that the other party would actually want to burn his boats. But this also confirmed her previous guess that the man in front of her was probably not the real Lion King.
