Chapter 124 Her Beast City Planning Map
Xia Weier ignored the Beast King and instead focused intently on the animal hide scroll about the well. These things would be useful when Ruan Xiyue established the Beast City.
Seeing that Xia Weier ignored him, the Beast King was not angry. Instead, he threw a list of several females who were interested in establishing a Beast City in front of Xia Weier.
Xia Weier glanced at it but didn't say anything.
The Beast King couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you worried? The other Holy Maidens also have very good aptitude."
Xia Weier placed his forearms flat on the table, his fingers interlocked. He looked at the Beast King with a negotiating expression: "Since you know that I, the Holy Consort, want to establish a Beast City, how could you not know what methods I will use?"
"You don't need to test me. I won't tell you. All I know is that I will do everything in my power to help her achieve what she wants."
"Your methods are too radical! Naïve! And foolish!"
"You've caused all sorts of problems in these male tribes where the sacred females have formed matriarchal relationships. Do you really think they can't figure out what's going on? It's only a matter of time before they do. This is the hidden danger you've left for your females!"
Seeing that Xia Weier remained unmoved, the Beast King further revealed, "Promising them the benefits of pottery and lake salt will only make them more covetous of the advantages that will come after the establishment of Beast City!"
"Besides, your brothers are no pushovers. They saw through your scheme long ago and promised even greater benefits to those orc tribes!"
"Why don't you tell us that your partner can improve female fertility?"
Xia Weier then stood up, placed his hands on the table, and narrowed his eyes dangerously as he looked at the Beast King: "Speaking of this now will only bring her danger! Only after the Beast City is established will it bring her glory and increase her influence in the Beast City!"
The Beast King thought for a moment and nodded: "You do have some cleverness."
Xia Weier finally waited until the meeting ended.
The Witch Doctor's Hospital wasn't very supportive of Holy Heroine Ruan Xiyue establishing the Beast City. However, the Priestess's Court and the Holy City both voted in favor of Ruan Xiyue establishing the Beast City.
“Golden Cup Priest, you should know that this Holy Maiden is the Third Prince's consort. By casting your vote in favor, you are essentially handing over control of another Beast City to the Beast King!”
"Golden Cup Healer, have you seen the beast city plan submitted by the female Ruan Xiyue?" the Golden Cup Priest asked.
"No, who would bother looking at something like that?"
"I've seen it!" The Golden Cup Priest placed Ruan Xiyue's beast city plan in the Golden Cup Witch Doctor's hands and said to her, "I suggest you take a look before we discuss anything else!"
The Golden Cup Witch Doctor opened the animal skin scroll in his hand; it was a very simple plan of the beast city.
The Golden Marigold Healer initially scoffed, but she was utterly astonished when she saw the priestly academy and witch doctorly academy set up on the Third Ring Road!
The Golden Cup Healer caught up with the two Golden Cup Priests: "Do you really think she would do that? Is she going to establish a witch academy in her beast city? What is she trying to do?"
The Golden Cup Priest, who had spoken to her earlier, took out the animal skin scrolls that Ruan Xiyue had mentioned during her rapid-fire answer at the selection ceremony for the Quasi-Holy Maiden and handed them to the Golden Cup Witch Doctor: "Take a look at these too!"
The Golden Cup Witch Doctor skimmed through the text: "She actually has such grand ambitions? Isn't she... building a second Holy City?"
"So, even the Beast King has agreed, why do you insist on opposing it?"
The Golden Cup Witch Doctor remained silent for a moment, then pressed on, "So, do you plan to send a high priest to Xiyue Beast City to teach, or send a priest instead?"
"We should send the Silver Cup Priests and the Iron Cup Priests. Occasionally, the Gold Cup Priests will also go and take a look."
"Such a high-ranking priest?"
"Any orc who wants to learn can go and learn. This is a great opportunity to expand our priest team, and we certainly won't let it pass us by!"
"Will the Holy Mother Xiyue really allow the priests she trains to leave her beast city?"
“She can’t keep these priests away! How can her beast city support so many priests who are idle at home? Besides, we’ve seen her plans. She said that her tribe doesn’t have priests, only witch doctors. She wants every tribe to have priests.”
"In that case, the priestess who completes her training with her will definitely return to her own tribe! By doing this, her Beast City will surely become known to everyone in the future!"
"Because the priests who return to their tribes, in addition to praying and performing sacrifices for their own tribes, will also spread the name of her beast city to all the neighboring tribes!"
"In that case, there will only be more and more orcs who want to become priests!"
"Can she really do it?" the Golden Cup witch doctor asked, half-believing.
"She doesn't do it for free; she charges tuition! And she teaches not only witch doctors and priests, but also agricultural and artisan colleges! Otherwise, why do you think some families in those holy cities would agree to her establishing the Beast City?"
"If she trains a lot of craftsmen, and these craftsmen are all taught by people from those families, it's like the Holy Mother Xiyue is helping them expand their influence!"
"But who teaches at the agricultural college?" The Golden Cup witch doctor was indeed intrigued.
"I don't know. She only mentioned that she would invite tribes skilled in planting to give lectures. I don't have high hopes for this academy. Because nature provides plenty of fruits and vegetables bestowed by the Beast God. But this little failure is insignificant!"
"Is this Holy Mother trying to bind all the forces to her Beast City? To be honest, I don't think it's very realistic." The Golden Cup Witch Doctor scratched his head.
"Other beast cities are all on good terms with one or two sides, but her plan is very comprehensive. This has its advantages and disadvantages! It depends on who is gradually encroaching on whom! In any case, her beast city plan is beneficial to our priesthood."
The Golden Cup Priest chuckled: "Anyway, we're already far ahead! We have a High Priest who's already the father of the baby in this Holy Mother's womb!"
The Golden Cup witch doctor frowned, wondering if their few male witch doctors were up to par!
After all, shamans are primarily responsible for delivering the babies of the tribe and for marking their partners. Most shamans are female!
However, after carefully considering the words of the Golden Cup Priest, she scoffed, "Not in a relationship yet?"
The Golden Cup Priest's lips instantly fell: "That High Priest's male personality is too dull! Besides, it's not uncommon for people to have offspring before undergoing the process of shaping!"
The Golden Marigold Healer: "It still doesn't have a design."
The meeting between the witch doctor and the priest ended on bad terms.
The remaining beastmen attending the meeting watched Xi Yue, the Holy Mother, explain the city plan in detail and began to discuss it amongst themselves.
For Ruan Xiyue, this city plan was just what she remembered as a small fifth or sixth-tier city. With the addition of modifications to suit the local customs of the Beast World, it was simply copying someone else's homework.
However, she submitted her plans at the selection meeting for the prospective Holy Female!
She never imagined that her answer sheet would be sent to the Holy City, nor did she expect that her original design drawings would be used.
Xia Weier hadn't considered this either. The design plans for previous selection ceremonies of the Holy Maiden had never been used. The Beast King and various parties would discuss and create a new plan for the Beast City for the Holy Maiden, then have the craftsmen build it!
