Chapter 1451: Merfolk Tears 1
If you talk about which tribe’s women are the most beautiful among the Eight Desolate Beast Clan, all the Beast Clan will unanimously say it’s the Sky Fox Tribe.
The women of the Sky Fox Tribe are famously beautiful, mostly charming and graceful, with a beauty that captivates the soul.
But if someone asks which tribe’s women are the ugliest in the Beast Clan, then all would also unanimously say it’s the Bimong Tribe.
Thus, the women of the Sky Fox are often celebrated, while the women of the Bimong Tribe are often despised.
The unfortunate ten-year-old girl, Rita, is from the Bimong Tribe.
But for Rita, until the age of ten, she never thought she was ugly because she never left the Bimong Tribe.
Everyone around her, including her mother, the Bimong Tribe Leader Lipa, called her the most beautiful Young Chief in Bimong’s history.
Rita always believed this without a doubt.
She never doubted the words of her mother and others.
This is because, firstly, Rita is a very simple-minded person, she never doubts others. This temperament remained until she was betrayed by her first best friend, only then did she realize that not everyone had a pure heart like those in Bimong.
Secondly, in her eyes, everyone looked quite similar to Bimong; tall, with particularly large frames, not bathing regularly, with messy hair, and noses that always seemed to have been broken, like a flat pig’s snout.
So, for the first ten years of Rita’s life, she was carefree, understood neither beauty nor ugliness, and didn’t know what worry was.
But when she went to the Beast God Altar for the rite, everything shattered mercilessly for Rita.
Every Eight Desolate Beast Clan member with noble blood must go to the Beast God Altar for three years of enlightenment education after turning ten.
On her first day at the Beast God Altar, Rita discovered she was different from the others.
Although she was only ten, she was taller than some thirteen-year-old Beast Clan boys, not to mention her barrel-like figure. The Beast Skin clothes on her were essentially a synonym for roughness and ugliness in the eyes of other Beast Clan girls.
"Pfft, have a look, who is that ugly monster?"
"It’s the Young Clan Chief of the Bimong Tribe. I’ve heard that Bimong Tribe women are all ugly monsters. Look at her nose, how does it look like a pig’s nose."
"Smell her, she has a strange odor, so stinky, like the smell of cow dung."
The words of other Beast Clan girls made Rita realize for the first time that she was different from the others.
She walked away with a flushed face, found a small river, and there, crying as she wiped her face and body.
She washed repeatedly until her skin was red from scrubbing, yet still felt she carried a strange odor.
"Splash."
Water splashed, and a brush appeared at Rita’s feet.
Startled, Rita noticed someone else at the riverbank.
It was a boy of eleven or twelve, holding a pure white unicorn.
At the moment Rita saw the boy, only a few words came to mind.
"Such a beautiful person."
Although in the previous ten years of her life, Rita couldn’t distinguish between beauty and ugliness, the moment she saw the boy, she instantly understood the meaning of the word ’beautiful.’
The boy had long, light purple hair, a slim build, and long eyelashes like feathers.
Because of washing the unicorn, his sleeves were rolled up, revealing white skin. He was an exceptionally beautiful boy.
Apparently annoyed by Rita’s crying, he tossed the brush used for washing the unicorn over to her.
"Thank you." Rita’s sobbing immediately quieted down. She picked up the brush and gently scrubbed her skin.
The rough brush didn’t hurt at all on her skin.
While brushing, Rita kept stealing glances at the boy washing the unicorn with the corner of her eye.
He led the unicorn up the riverbank.
"Your brush." Rita quickly handed the brush over.
The boy glanced at the brush, with an icy look in his eyes that scared Rita into pulling it back quickly.
"Zi, where have you been running off to?" A colorful luan bird flew from the sky, landing next to the unicorn boy and transforming into an adorable little boy.
"Washing the unicorn. Let’s go." The boy Zi ignored Rita. He wouldn’t want anything that others had used.
"Wow, Zi actually lent his thing to an outsider, that’s rare. I’m Lu of the Jiuluan Clan, and he’s Zi of the Di Clan, pleased to meet you." The little boy Lu smiled at Rita.
"I’m Rita from the Bimong Tribe..." Rita shyly looked at Zi, only to see him walk away without looking back.
"See you next time." Lu quickly caught up with Zi.
Looking at the brush in her hand, despite its bristles falling off, Rita found it hard to throw away.
After returning to camp, Rita still seemed a bit absent-minded.
"Is anyone willing to share a room with Young Chief Rita?" As the priest at the Beast God Altar inquired, the other Beast Clan girls all retreated as if they saw a venomous snake.
"I’m willing to share a room with Young Chief Rita." A sweet voice made Rita perk up. "My name is Hu Linglong. I’ll be staying with you."
The girl named Hu Linglong was from the Sky Fox Tribe. Since she was the first to initiate a conversation with Rita, they quickly became friends.
In the room, Hu Linglong curiously watched as Rita put away an old brush.
"That’s the brush Zi from the Di Clan lent me." Rita said somewhat embarrassedly, briefly explaining her earlier encounter with Zi and Lu.
Upon hearing that Zi and Lu actually talked to Rita, Hu Linglong was a bit surprised, a flicker of envy and hate passing through her charming eyes.
Zi and Lu were the most outstanding Beast Clan heirs in the Beast God Altar. Previously, despite her various attempts, they didn’t deign to speak to Hu Linglong. Unexpectedly, the unattractive Rita actually spoke with them.
Hu Linglong decided to punish Rita and show her there are people she should not provoke.
"Ha ha, did you see the letter Rita wrote to Zi? It’s so funny, she actually likes Zi."
"No way, Linglong, you are so mean to post the letter."
"Who told her to be such a hideous troublemaker? Did you really think I wanted to be friends with her? I just want her ugliness to highlight my beauty." Hu Linglong laughed uproariously.
"Hu Linglong, you’ve gone too far." Rita rushed out, her eyes red, and slapped Hu Linglong across the face.
Hu Linglong was stunned by the slap.
"Rita, you ugly monster, how dare you hit me?" Hu Linglong started to fight back fiercely, and the two began to grapple with each other.
"What’s going on here?" Lu and Zi walked in, seeing the state of Hu Linglong and Rita, both furrowed their brows.
