Su Qinglan ignored Xu Meiyan’s tantrum completely.
She leaned back, calm as a queen, while more and more beastmen and females went up to perform.
Some females danced lightly with flowing steps, trying to look pure and graceful. Others weren’t shy at all; they boldly swayed their hips, showing off every curve they had.
And the males... oh boy.
One after another, they came forward, showing off their bodies. Strong arms. Broad chests. Shiny abs.
Su Qinglan’s eyes went wide.
Damn.
Her head turned left and right like a spectator at a tennis match.
Wow. These beastmen really know how to put on a show. Forget TV idols and movie stars back in my world; these guys are on another level. If those celebrities were A-grade... then these beastmen are SSS-grade eye candy.
She clapped along with the others, her face lighting up. Her big round eyes sparkled with excitement.
But then...
A sudden explosion of cheers erupted. So loud her ears almost bled.
The ground shook with voices.
"Hu Yan! Hu Yan!"
"Hu Yan! We love you!!"
"Show us more! Hu Yan, show us more!!"
Su Qinglan’s heart skipped.
"...Huh?!"
She whipped her head to the side...
Empty.
Hu Yan’s seat was empty.
Her jaw dropped.
When she looked up, she finally saw it.
The big tiger himself was walking toward the stage.
Su Qinglan’s mouth hung open. Wait...WHAT?! He’s also going to perform?!
She blinked rapidly, too stunned to speak.
Why the hell is he going up there?! Don’t tell me... Don’t tell me he is also going to perform?! Oh my god. Don’t tell me he’s going to...
Her thoughts cut off as Hu Yan stepped into the center.
The crowd erupted again, the females screaming like mad, some even fanning themselves dramatically.
And then...he moved.
At first, he simply flexed his arm. The sharp muscle shifted under his skin, hard and perfect. Gasps filled the air.
He turned slowly, showing his broad back, every muscle line cutting like stone.
"Wooooo!!!" Females squealed like crazy. Even some males let out a low whistle.
Then, with calm steps, Hu Yan performed a powerful stance, his chest expanding as his aura burst out.
The beastmen in the crowd started hooting, slapping their thighs and stomping in rhythm.
It was the first time they had ever seen Hu Yan perform.
He was always quiet, always cold, and never wasting time with silly shows. But now he was giving them a full view of his strength.
He moved fast and powerfully, every strike sharp, his fists cutting through the air with a loud crack. Each move showed his deadly skill.
The crowd went insane.
Males admired his strength. Females screamed at his body.
Then suddenly...Hu Yan bent his knees, gathered power, and leaped high into the air.
Gasps rang out.
Mid-air, his body rippled...
And in the next heartbeat...
A giant tiger landed on the stage with a thunderous crash.
"ROAR!!"
The sound exploded, shaking the ground. The fire trembled. The cheers turned into chaos.
The females screamed even louder, almost fainting from excitement. The beastmen roared in approval, pumping their fists.
Hu Yan, the giant tiger, stood tall and proud, golden eyes gleaming like the sun. His striped fur shone under the firelight, his body massive and perfect.
"Sacred heavens, Hu Yan actually licked her!!"
Some females were crying from envy. Beastmen were pounding the ground with laughter and cheers.
Su Qinglan stood frozen, clutching her flaming red face.
Hu Yan... wagged his tail.
Like a puppy. He was so proud of himself that he couldn’t even control his happiness.
And then suddenly, he seemed to realize what he just did. His big ears twitched, and with a rumble in his throat, he turned around and bolted off the place like a guilty child.
The mighty tiger ran straight away.
Leaving behind one blushing, stunned Su Qinglan. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
"...What the hell just happened?" she whispered, covering her face.
Her heart thudded so loud she swore the whole tribe could hear it.
Meanwhile—
Rong Ye stared blankly at the scene.
His violet eyes narrowed, his jaw tightening.
"...What’s so good about that?" he muttered under his breath. "How did they get so close...?"
At first, he had kissed her only because he knew Hu Yan wanted to but didn’t dare. He wanted to get on the tiger’s nerves, so he acted first. But now this stupid tiger had found another chance, showing off like this and stealing all the attention.
Rong Ye’s lips curved into a cold smirk.
Hmph. What’s with that silly performance? Do they think only tigers can put on a show?
On the other hand, Han Jue looked like he had swallowed a fly.
His handsome face darkened. His gaze flickered to Su Qinglan, whose cheeks were still red, her hands pressed to her face, and then he looked away, muttering something no one could hear. His aura turned cold and distant, like he wanted to disappear into the shadows.
But the crowd didn’t let things calm down.
Because suddenly...
"RONG YE!!!"
"YOUNG MASTER FOX!!!"
"SHOW US YOUR POWER!!!"
