is still better than staying on this d.a.m.ned island.” Liu Zhenhan nonchalantly said: “Besides, you have gotta go back and take revenge for the loss of your sisters. Your sisters were your precious family members and they died in the hands of those bandits. What can you possibly achieve by staying on this island which is only good for being a dumping place for bird c.r.a.p?”

Hailun’s eyes reddened with tears slowly welling up and running down her face. His words had invoked hatred and a kind of fire inside her.

“Well, ignore what I just said. I really must keep my sharp tongue under control.” Liu Zhenhan somewhat regretted.

She wiped the tears off her face and said, “Compared with the intense and deep-seated hatred for those who have hurt my people, the glory of being a sacred sacrifice can certainly not become a burden for me.”

“There’s one more thing I want to verify, Hailun.” Liu Zhenhan cautiously asked: “Since the sea clan only allows licensed ships to pa.s.s through their territory, do you think they will attack our raft if we accidentally run into them during the voyage?”

“They will attack us.” Hailun answered bluntly.

“Then you teach me that magic which requires combustion of life energy. If I am really an inborn soul singer then I would gladly use that magic as a last resort against them. We will either escape or take them down with us.” Liu Zhenhan looked just like a desperado as he said these words.

“Sorry.” Hailun said with regret: “Dear Li Cha, a soul singer is unable to reach the realm of life magic unless they have already comprehended the ‘Berserk battle song’ and have been promoted to the rank of a sacred sacrifice. Only then can they attain the right to burn their life energy to perform magic. If I knew life magic then perhaps I would not have met you on this island. Although combustion of life is strictly considered as suicide, in the teachings of war-G.o.d, it has been strictly mentioned that suicide is an act of cowardice, and after the suicidal death of a Beastman, they would be unable to enter the home of Beamon souls. But, if there comes a situation when my entire clan is about to get slaughtered, I would certainly not hesitate to follow the steps of my ancestors who used life magic for the survival of Beastman race.”

“We are losing our cards one after another. This is getting a little dangerous now.” Liu Zhenhan secretly thought but did not let the look of tension appear on his face.

“Then how will we go back home?” Hailun looked at his face with great expectations, as if she knew that he would definitely come up with a solution.

“We will return home!” Liu Zhenhan saw her looking at him and immediately said in a heroic manner, “No one will stop us because they basically cannot. The sea is so big that it will literally take a tragic coincidence for that to happen.”

“You know what?” Hailun moved closer and gently touched his face, saying: “The first time I saw you, I thought you were just a cowardly, greedy and lazy pigman of the Pig Clan. But I never thought that you are actually a gift to me from the great war-G.o.d Campus.”

“Pigman? Pig Clan?” Liu Zhenhan rubbed his own nose and an awkward smile spread across his face as he said: “Well, I understand that now I look very much like a pig.”

“Well, mark my words that good looks are not enough to win the heart of a fox woman. We desire much more than just the good appearance in a man. And, do you actually feel that the women of Fox clan are so superficial?” Hailun pursed her lips.

“d.a.m.n girl, f.u.c.k, f.u.c.k, this seductress is just out of the world. No matter what she does or says, ends up seducing people!” Liu Zhenhan turned his face the other way and murmured.

“Is mixing allowed between your clan and Pig Clan?” Liu Zhenhan was wondering if he were to go to her hometown then how he would portray himself. He could certainly not go there as a human being because of the hostile relations between human race and Beastman race. And, when a n.o.ble like Hailun was unable to figure out about him being a human then it could be considered that n.o.body would find out about his true ident.i.ty.

“In Beamon Beastman Kingdom, the n.o.bles are usually fighting type of race, and in fact, the very occupation of aristocrats is to protect civilians. Whenever the war breaks out, they pick up swords and shields to prove their military skills and valor. But my Fox clan is the only aristocratic clan that sends sacred sacrifices to fight in the war along with their magical pets. However, a majority of clan members are only good at using pens instead of swords to do the accounting and various other office jobs which again is a very vital during wartime. Therefore, our kingdom’s most formidable clan of mightiest soldiers namely Elephant Clan and our kingdom’s number one clan when it comes to reproduction ability namely Pig Clan; both these clans have been given to Fox Clan as va.s.sal clans.” Hailun said this and cast a sidelong glance at Liu Zhenhan.

“I see, so Pig Clan is your va.s.sal clan.” Liu Zhenhan suddenly felt dwarfed in front of her.

Hailun covered her mouth, smiled tenderly then continued: “Elephant Clan is very choosy when it comes to food but had very low fertility. However, their terrifying might is enough to compensate for all these shortcomings. A survey that took place throughout the continent suggests that only t.i.tan Clan, which is similarly a small clan, can take on Elephant soldiers. In fact, even a young Elephant soldier can easily beat most Beastman soldiers. Because of this a lot of brave humans also like to put elephant tusks on their walls, to demonstrate their military skills and vigor. Although Pigmen are born lazy, they possess super digestion ability and terrifying fertility. So the Pig Clan ended up having the biggest population in the entire Beamon Kingdom, occupying 1/6th of the total population. Hence, Beamon Elder Hospital decided to execute birth control law on Pig Clan to control their rapidly growing population. Family planning was also introduced as a concept to control the out of control population of Pig Clan. Although Pig Clan can be considered as a medium level fighting force, their bodies mostly contain fat and low muscles. But as they say, even ant bites can kill an elephant. Regardless of birth control and family planning programs introduced solely for them, their total population is now above 800,000. This is truly shocking right?”

“That’s insane.” Liu Zhenhan felt admiration for the so-called Beamon Elder Hospital for coming up with the idea of family planning and birth control. This was not a simple feat in this kind of world.

“Love, you do not need to worry about all these things.” Hailun said excitedly: “You are an inborn soul singer, do you know what that means? That means both Beamon Elder Hospital and the temple will give you a supreme and courteous reception.”

“My girl, I have a small confession to make.” Liu Zhenhan said in a somewhat lamenting tone: “Well, you know, what if I tell you that I am actually not a pigman? I am actually an authentic human being.”

“Then I won’t believe in it.” Hailun shook her head a little and said with a smile, “I will tell you why I won’t believe you. You see, humans can only resonate with magic then how are you able to sing Beamon battle song as if you are an expert soul singer? The first time I saw your black hair, I thought you belong to the famous Devil race that disappeared thousands of years ago. However, I later remembered reading in ancient records that devils are said to possess silver pupils, so I concluded that you are not a devil. I personally think that you are a Beastman warrior who has been gifted to us by war-G.o.d Campas. In the entire continent, not a single one of those despicable humans can have such beautiful black hair.”

“You are simply in a denial mode aren’t you?” Liu Zhenhan was baffled by this: “I am telling you that I was not born this way. I injured my nose and it turned this way. My mother is actually a beautiful human being.”

“You know what? I think you’re joking, trying to tease me.” Hailun smiled and said: “Dear Li Cha, you can crack such jokes in front of me but you better not do it in the Beamon Kingdom. If you cracked this joke in open then you will be dragged to the altar and they will burn you alive for being a heretic.”

“What?” Liu Zhenhan was stunned by this.

“Promise me.” Hailun stared at his face.

Liu Zhenhan was secretly grieving in his heart. Not only his name changed, now he also had to change his ident.i.ty from being a human being to the new ident.i.ty of a pigman. He could no longer stay a human, now, he was a pig! Not any other animal species that he could have been, but no, he had to become a pig in this new world! If his brother got to know about this then Liu Zhenhan would be humiliated to death without a doubt!

“Promise me.” Hailun held his arm, shook it fiercely and said in a childish voice.

While looking at her beautiful pouting face and listening to her mesmerizing voice, Liu Zhenhan nodded mysteriously without actually knowing why he did it.

“Li Cha, I love you so much!” She threw herself into his arms and they smooched.

“Hailun, how old are you?” Liu Zhenhan’s eyes rolled once and it was obvious that he had started to have a bad idea. It was an idea that would further incur an action which required knowledge about the partner’s age.

“Fifteen.” Hailun replied proudly.

“What?” Liu Zhenhan suddenly felt half of the fire of his desires getting extinguished. He opened his mouth wide like a leftover piece of salted fish.

How is this possible? Can 15 years old girls really develop in such a way? Liu Zhenhan fiercely swallowed his saliva and was overwhelmed by this disclosure.

“Rite of pa.s.sage was held for me this year itself! Li Cha, you smelled my fragrance yet?” She hid her face behind the wolf skin with embarra.s.sment after asking this question.

“I smelled your fragrance.” Liu Zhenhan answered absentmindedly as he was busy thinking about how it was prohibited to have a relationship with a 15-year-old girl. It was considered a crime, more like a sin, and the punishment dedicated to this crime was none other than getting shot.

“How was the smell? Good or bad?” She asked excitedly while her eyes were curiously staring at him.

“d.a.m.n, she is just a little girl, I have blundered. I cannot let her seduce me again.” Liu Zhenhan shouted in his heart.

“Li Cha, why are you silent?” Hailun looked at Liu Zhenhan who was in a daze as if drowned in his own world, not at all aware of her question.

“In your kingdom, I mean in your clan…..” Liu Zhenhan scratched his head and further asked: “For example, someone accidentally enters into a relationship with a 15 years old girl, and well, you see, things happen. Will he be sentenced to death?”

“You’re mean!” Hailun blushed as her face turned red like the setting sun.

“I am just asking casually in order to draw an a.n.a.logy.” Liu Zhenhan immediately said.

“I won’t talk to you.” She pouted and turned her face away. Her bright red hair pa.s.sed over gently and swiftly on Liu Zhenhan’s face along with a sudden burst of pleasant aroma.

“I was just joking.” Liu Zhenhan tried to play it cool, “I want to see how you would react.”

“I know my Li Cha is not like those evil humans.” Hailun smiled through her eyes.

“That’s a big blunder, my girl.” Liu Zhenhan said in his heart.

“Corolla is the proof of purity and chast.i.ty and is especially important for a sacred sacrifice who is not yet married. And she is unable to make a breakthrough in the battle song if she lost her corolla. Therefore, Beamon Kingdom has set a strict limit on the legal age of marriage for sacred sacrifices. They must be at least 18 years old at the time of marriage, otherwise, the temple will cancel their t.i.tle of sacred sacrifice and give punishment as well.” Hailun explained in detail.

Liu Zhenhan felt like asking whether it was possible to secretly do it, without letting others know about it, but was too embarra.s.sed to ask.

“Li Cha, will you protect me in the future?” Hailun gently ringed his neck with her arms. Her fragrant warm breath was blowing against his face.

“That goes without saying.” Liu Zhenhan swiped his big nose with swagger.

“You are so cool!” Hailun hugged him.

The Shaolin Temple under the coconut sh.e.l.l was once again open for business, but this time, it was on the edge and could not help drumming against the coconut sh.e.l.l to proudly announce its presence.
