Chapter 181 Character Inconsistency
The big white wolf led the way, with the kitten nestled on his neck. The other sub-beastmen with partners climbed onto their partners' backs, while those without partners sat on the carts.
They had agreed to meet the Silver Tiger tribe at the lower reaches of the East River. When the beastmen of the Azure Flame tribe arrived at the agreed location, Lin Baiyan saw the Silver Tiger tribemen who were already waiting there from afar.
As they approached, the white wolf quickly braked. Once he was steady, the kitten jumped off the white wolf's back, hid behind the cart, transformed into its animal form, put on a fur coat, and then gracefully walked towards the Silver Tiger Clan.
Lang Cang also transformed into human form, following Lin Baiyan at a leisurely pace.
Seeing Lin Baiyan walk towards Hu Yuan, he then looked away and exchanged pleasantries with Hu Yang.
Lin Baiyan spotted two familiar figures from afar. Upon closer inspection, he recognized them as Hu Yang and Hu Yuan. Hu Yuan even waved and smiled at him. Lin Baiyan walked over and asked, "Are you leading the team this time?"
Hu Yuan nodded. "Yes, Hu Yang and I led the team, and we also brought Hu Feng and Hu Wei along for some training."
Considering that the old priest of the Silver Tiger Clan was too old to travel far, and that Hu Luan had to stay at the Silver Tiger Clan's base camp, the two of them had to lead the team.
"Come here, let me introduce you. This is Fox Ice, the priest of the Silver Fox Clan." Tiger Kite pulled him a few more steps and they came to a group of young sub-beastmen.
After introducing Hu Bing, he introduced Lin Baiyan to her, saying, "This is Baiyan, the priest of the Cangyan tribe."
Lin Baiyan casually glanced at the sub-beastman in front of him. His face was as white as jade, his eyes were deep and wise, and he was wearing a fur coat made of white bear skin, which was covered with shiny decorations.
More importantly, this priestess had silver hair! Her silver hair reached her waist and looked very soft and smooth, clearly having been carefully styled.
Lin Baiyan was somewhat surprised. On the Beastman Continent, most beastmen's hair was dry, frizzy, and often tangled and split. But this Silver Fox Clan priest was different. A strand of hair danced in the wind, and her body was surrounded by a misty and cool aura.
Lin Baiyan smiled slightly and greeted him reservedly, "Hello, friend of the Silver Fox Clan."
Don't be impolite when you meet for the first time.
Fox Ice nodded to him. "I am Fox Ice."
While Lin Baiyan was sizing up Hu Bing, Hu Bing was also secretly observing the sub-beastman opposite them. This suddenly appearing Cangyan tribe had a priest who looked quite young.
He stared at himself with his round, cat-like eyes, glancing at himself every now and then. This orc looked at least ten years younger than him.
"Oh, why are you two being so polite?" Hu Yuan put his arm around Hu Bing and pulled her into his arms. "You are both good friends of the Silver Tiger Clan, so there's no need to be so reserved."
"I'm telling you, Bing, there are no outsiders here, so you don't need to put on that aloof priestly air."
Tiger Kite casually remarked, then lewdly touched Fox Ice's cheek, "It's been a while since I've seen you, and your face seems even more tender now?"
"Could it be that the snow-capped mountains are more nourishing?"
Fox was caught off guard and stumbled as she was pulled. Looking at Tiger Kite's somewhat shameless actions, Fox felt speechless.
This sub-orc always complains about how reckless their tribe's tiger is; he thinks Tiger Kite is heartless too.
"You seem to have become even more of a rogue since I last saw you." Hu Bing rolled his eyes at Hu Yuan, his demeanor appearing completely out of character.
Lin Baiyan watched the two sub-beastmen's actions with some surprise. At this moment, Hu Bing noticed Lin Baiyan's gaze and realized that she had broken her persona, so she simply stopped pretending.
He yawned lazily, blinked at Lin Baiyan, and his eyes were exceptionally charming, a stark contrast to the aloof priest who had just nodded reservedly.
"Little White Flame, why did your tribe put you out as a priest? You look like a cub who hasn't even reached adulthood yet!" Fox Ice circled around Lin Baiyan and approached him with a smile.
Since they were friends acknowledged by the Silver Tiger Clan, there was nothing for them to be wary of. After all, although these tigers seemed carefree, they were exceptionally perceptive of human emotions.
Orcs with ulterior motives usually couldn't withstand more than two moves from the Silver Tiger Clan before being frightened away by their powerful fighting strength. Otherwise, they wouldn't have only had the Silver Fox Clan as their neighbor for centuries.
They weren't originally called the Silver Tiger Clan, but the Snow Tiger Clan. However, in order to get closer to the Silver Fox Clan, the ancestors of the Snow Tiger Clan changed their clan name to the Silver Tiger Clan.
Lin Baiyan shrank his neck uncomfortably. The change was too drastic, and he was still not used to it. "I'm not young anymore." He didn't say exactly how old he was.
She never expected the sub-beastman in front of her to be so perceptive. You see, Tiger Kite didn't even realize her cub identity at first, and even now, she still thinks she is an adult sub-beastman.
Fox Ice blinked her slightly alluring eyes at him, "Really?"
"Really, really, I'm an adult now." For some reason, he always felt as if he had nowhere to hide in front of this orc.
Tiger Kite could tell from Fox Ice's expression that he was indulging in a wicked sense of humor. "Stop bullying Bai Yan. He has someone protecting him."
"Oh? Who is it? Let me see?" Fox Ice's interest was instantly piqued.
Tiger Kite pulled him along and gestured with his chin towards a spot not far away. Wolf Cang and Tiger Yang were standing in front of the cart, discussing their next move. Beside them was another male beastman from the Silver Fox Clan.
"The male orc next to Fox Tail?" Fox Tail is the captain of the Silver Fox Clan's hunting team. He and Fox Ice are the highest-ranking orcs in the Silver Fox Clan besides the old clan leader.
Tiger Kite nodded matter-of-factly, “Yes, that’s Wolf Cang, the chieftain of the Azure Flame Tribe.”
“He’s keeping a close eye on you. If you tease Bai Yan again, Lang Cang will see you and beat you up. We can’t beat him.”
Fox Ice's eyes gleamed with interest. "Oh? Is he very strong in combat?"
“Even Hu Yang can’t beat him. The chieftain said he’d give Lang Cang another ten years, and even he wouldn’t be able to contend with Lang Cang.” Hu Yuan recalled what Hu Luan had said in the tribe and looked at Lang Cang with a hint of envy.
