In the old days of sucking bears

After dinner, Shen Shuliu took Dai to the priest.

After the bond is formed, the orcs will come to the priest to receive the blessing of the beast god, so as to bless them to give birth to healthy cubs smoothly.

The priest's house is at the innermost part of the tribe, just behind the lush medicine garden.

Priest Aqi is an old priest of the Black Wolf Tribe, and he was the one who led the third patriarch.

The lifespan of an orc is about 150 years, and that of a sub-beast is shorter than that of an orc, and Aqi is already [-] years old, which is already very old.

Shen Shuliu didn't know if the beast god existed, but the beastman superstitiously believed that he knew it firsthand.

It is almost a big event that requires a priest to listen to the divination, just like the Hebin Tribe used to ask Aqi for a divination beforehand, and it was decided to announce it after the happy result.

Shen Shuliu and Dai walked through the nursery, and Ya Beast, who was tending medicinal herbs in the nursery, looked at them secretly, his face full of surprise.

One of the sub-beasts even cried angrily when they smelled the strong scent of slugs from Tai's body, staring at Tai with red eyes, and their small face was full of anger and grievance.

He, a sub-beast, is actually no match for a tough orc!

I'm so angry, woo woo, my parents said that sub-beasts are precious, and it's wrong for orcs to go to orcs because they can't find sub-beasts, and none of his sub-beasts are precious at all!

Dai intuitively felt that the sub-beast liked Shen Shuliu. It was the first time he was stared at by the sub-beast, so he pursed his lips, feeling a little helpless.

Seeing that he was really aggrieved by crying, Dai took another look at him.

Shen Shuliu didn't even look at the sub-beasts. Seeing Dai's eyes cast over there frequently, he clenched his teeth, grabbed his wrist forcefully, pulled him over, and interlocked his fingers.

Dai was caught off guard for a moment, and ran straight into his arms, being embraced by Shen Shuliu.

Someone watched, Dai's face was inexplicably hot, and he broke away from his arms with some annoyance, tugged twice, but failed to shake off his hand.

Secretly glanced at Shen Shuliu from the corner of her eye. Although she saw him smiling, she didn't dare to use any more force, so she could only obediently let him lead her.

It's just that the fingers are intertwined, which is strange.

Tai moved his held right hand a little uncomfortably, and the temperature spread along Shen Shuliu's slightly cold fingertips. For some reason, there was a strange tingling feeling.

Shen Shuliu looked at him like a little daughter-in-law, his mood changed from cloudy to sunny, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Glancing at the sub-beasts again, they were cold and fierce, full of warnings that were self-evident.

And from the point of view of those sub-beasts, it was the little goblin Dai who bumped into Shen Shuliu's arms on purpose, held his hand without letting go, and even secretly looked at Shen Shuliu, looking pitiful.

Shen Shuliu, the bad orc, glared at them because of him!

Those sub-beasts were dumbfounded, they didn't expect Tai to look tall, big, calm and reliable, it turned out to be like this!

In modern terms, seeing you murmuring thick eyebrows and big eyes, you are actually a scheming boy!

The sub-beast who had a crush on Shen Shuliu cried even more angrily.

Only Aluo, the priest of the original Baixiong tribe, saw it clearly, but he didn't say anything about it.

The young priest smiled warmly, and said proactively, "Are you here to receive the blessing of the beast god? Priest Aqi grinds herbs inside, just go in."

Shen Shuliu nodded to him, and led Dai into the room.

There are two large wooden shelves in the spacious cave, on which there are large and small wooden jars and dried medicinal herbs. Priest Aqi sits on a stone bench and grinds medicinal herbs with a stone pestle.

It was a shriveled and thin old man, his gray hair was roughly braided, and the hair ornaments and necklaces made of animal ivory white stone and colored pigmented bones collided with each other and made clanking sounds as he grinded the medicine.

I noticed that someone came in, but the breath was strange and familiar.

He raised his head, saw that it was Shen Shuliu, and opened his mouth in surprise.

Seeing Tai behind him again, he was speechless again for a long time.

"Are you... a bond?" Aqi hesitated, and felt that he seemed to be talking nonsense, after all, the mixed smell of the two of them was very obvious.

A little funny that he was old, Aqi showed a gentle smile, which made the wrinkles on his face more obvious.

It was useless for them to answer, so they sincerely blessed, "The beast god will bless you."

"En." Shen Shuliu solemnly accepted Aqi's order.

Tai had a natural sense of awe towards the priest, and nodded to Aqi, his face unconsciously tightened, looking very serious.

Uncomfortably, he wanted to hide the hand he was holding back, but Shen Shuliu refused to let him, and even held it tighter.

Toi pursed her lips, but said nothing.

He felt that it was not good to hold her hand all the time, especially in front of the priest, it was very awkward.

And he doesn't want to be with him...

Aqi saw Tai's reluctance and awkwardness, so he just smiled, took his free hand, and patted it lightly, "Liu is a good boy, he will treat you well."

Shen Shuliu nodded in agreement, looked at him firmly, and solemnly assured, "I'm only good to you."

After thinking about it, I explained to him again, "The sub-beasts outside have nothing to do with me, I don't know them at all."

Being watched by two people at the same time, Tai was a little embarrassed, so he could only nod his head, "Yeah."

Aziz patted Tai's hand kindly, told them to sit down, and turned to take out a jar from the cabinet.

It was only then that Dai noticed that the priest also had a "cabinet" against the wall.

It was similar to the one in Shen Shuliu's house, only bigger and full of bottles and jars.

Dai was puzzled, but didn't show it. He lowered his head slightly and asked the priest to smear something red on his head.

The priest, Aqi, muttered while wiping, not the beastman language, but the priest's unique language for communicating with beast gods, sacrificial language.

After Aqi finished his blessings to the couple, he smiled gently at them again. His withered face seemed to come alive. He tapped his forehead with his right hand, then clenched his fist on his heart, lowered his head slightly, and closed his eyes for three seconds.

This is a gesture of prayer to the beast god, and it also represents the end of the bonding ceremony.

Simple yet with special magic, as if there was a thread entangled the two of them together.

Toi curled her fingers uncomfortably, feeling a little unreal.

From today onwards, he was completely branded with the brand of another orc, and from today onwards, there was an orc whose whole body smelled of him.

Tai's face tightened even more, her back straightened unnaturally.

Aqi noticed his expression, he knew it but he didn't say anything, but his eyes were sincere, and he said sincerely again, "Don't worry, the beast god will bless you, and you will give birth to healthy cubs in the future."

Cub.

Toi subconsciously rubbed her lower abdomen. In the near future, there might be a cub here.

He and the cub of this mighty orc next to him.

It's... unbelievable.

Seeing his little movements, Shen Shuliu's eyes darkened, and his Adam's apple slipped unconsciously.

But he didn't say anything, chatted with Aqi for a few words, and then took Dai to leave.
