Chapter 120 - 5.21 First Violet Star - Concession
Shizi, the youngest Tribe Leader in the Primitive World.
After his father died in the last war against the Lune Tribe's strongest female warrior, the Soleil Tribe had almost fallen. Thankfully someone like Shizi who had awakened a special skill, King's aura, exists. This unique skill allows Shizi to dominate the battles he fought. He fought his way through and reached the peak of their Tribe. He was then enthroned as the Tribe Leader of Soleil.
The Soleil Tribe stabilizes after he takes the reins. Not long after they heard the death of the strongest female warrior of the Lune Tribe. He died due to the hidden injuries he had gotten after fighting the former tribe leader of Soliel who was Shizi's father.
Because of this, the hatred between the two tribes never disappears and continues until now. Even though Shizi tried to convince his tribe members to clear all hatred, no one was really willing to accept it in their hearts. Every winter whenever the two tribes coincide on their way down to the mountain, casualties between tribes cannot be avoided. The hatred between tribes just deepened and there was no harmony between tribes.
People from his tribe would kill anyone of the Lune Tribe whenever they've bumps onto them by the road, likewise people from the Lune Tribe would kill off his tribe the same way. This is a never ending cycle of hate. Something Shizi wanted to stop. He is even willing to enter an alliance marriage to ease the hostility between tribes but unfortunately most female beastman from the Lune tribe rarely come out of their camp alone. If they leave the tribe there will be lots of male beastman warriors protecting them making it hard for Shizi to make contact.
Not only that, there is a troublesome figure protecting the Lune tribe. The strongest warrior of the Lune Tribe, a jaguar male beastman called Meizhou. He had seen this warrior once and witnessed his prowess. This is a beastman that could contend with him in battle. He is sure that this male beastman also possesses unique skills like him. Fighting this man means he needs to prepare for death first or he will definitely look at an arm or a leg the moment he lets down his guard.
It is also because of Meizhou's presence that he wanted to make an alliance with the Lune Tribe. He had the feeling that they could go along well.
This is the reason why Shizi chased after Tuzi. When he saw him by the river wearing clothes all over his human form. He knew that he was someone from the Lune Tribe. According to the spy he had left to survey the nearby areas of the Lune Tribe's Territory, the reports said that most tribesmen of the Lune Tribe wore clothes that fully hid their body in their human form, especially the children of the Lune Tribe looking like fat dumplings wrapped up in thick clothes.
Shizi peeked once in that place and indeed saw cute little dumplings wrapped in thick clothes making them adorable while playing with snow.
He also heard that the one who suggested these clothes is the young leader of the Lune Tribe but the ones who taught the craft making is another female beastman called Tuzi. Just now he heard these two warriors called that pervert... I mean weird female rabbit beastman, Tutu, intimately. Obviously these two warriors were this female's partner.
Since this is an opportunity, he doesn't want these three to leave right away. But for some reason he is very afraid of me, I had to use my special skills to stop them from leaving albeit forcefully.
Shizi could see that the guard of the two warriors had increased the moment he used his unique skill on them. But sadly he had no other choice as they were really doing their hardest to run away from him. He watched the two warriors frankly hide the female beastman behind them. Not even a strand of hair could be seen of the female beastman called Tuzi.
The wolf warrior bared his fangs on Shizi, "What do you want? You are a tribe leader yourself. Don't tell me you would harm a female with your own hands!?" said Lang.
Xiong was observing the young tribe leader before them. But for some reason despite his overbearing aura, there are no negative emotions or feelings of hatred within those gold orbs. This left him bewildered.
"Lang. Calm down. Buy some time. The rest of the tribe should be looking for us as well!" whispered Xiong to Lang. "The tremors on the land had lessened. The Young Leader and the boss should have finished their task at this moment."
Tuzi who heard Xiong's words had his eyes brightened. If his friend Xuebao finished what he wanted to do, that must mean he is free right now.
"Xiong, Lang, do any of you have the flare distributed by the tribe before we left? Mine got wasted when I fell in the river." asked Tuzi.
Lang who obviously should receive a flare seems to forget to bring one with him. "Flare?" Idiot where the hell did you put yours.
Xiong, who remembered receiving some from Sheya, touched his mini bag, looked through it and brought the flare out. He gave it to Tuzi.
"A flare? Is that the small lighting that appeared on the sky to call for your tribesmen? If you use that would your leaders come over as well?" asked Shizi curiously but his stern voice made it seems like he wanted to stop them from doing so.
"Tutu, light it up. Right now!" whispered Xiong.
"As long as the flare lights up, the boss or the young leader should see it." said Lang.
The two warriors asked to hasten Tuzi's movement but Tuzi who was peeking at Shizi's face from behind his two partners saw the Soleil tribe leader's eyes slightly light up when he heard what Lang had said. There is no movement of trying to stop them from lighting the flare. He could see that within those golden orbs was calmness and a bit excitement instead.
Tuzi suddenly wedges between his two partners to reveal himself in front of Shizi.
"You... Do you want to meet our leaders? Why?" asked Tuzi.
Lang panicked, "Tutu what are you doing? Hide behind us!" he said.
Xiong on the other hand didn't stop Tuzi and instead observes Shizi who is standing without doing anything as if he is just waiting. Shizi didn't reply right away. He was thinking how he should respond in a way the others wouldn't think he is asking for a fight.
"I want to talk to your leaders about something." replied Shizi.
"Not because you want to fight with us?" asked Tuzi.
Shizi answered, "No. Just... a talk."
"Didn't your tribe kill off our people!? Now you are saying you want to talk!" exclaimed Lang in anger.
"My tribesmen was killed by your people as well." said Shizi as his aura turned a bit cold when he mentioned this.
Xiong tried to calm down his friend, "Lang! Calm down. Don't start a fight! In war both sides were wrong!" he said.
"Lang. Let me do the talking. You light up the flare and try to stop our tribesmen from attacking him. There's a possibility of this war between two tribes ending. It's better for the fighting to stop." said Tuzi as he soothes his man's raging emotion.
"I heard that the Soleil Tribe is the one who caused the death of Xuebao's Mother." said Lang. "Do you think he would forgive them?"
Tuzi bit his lips when he heard this question. Even Xiong was rendered silent by this.
Only Shizi spoke up when he heard this question. "My father had died under the blade of your tribe's strongest female as well."
Flinched!
Once the three heard this, they were startled and finally remembered the origin of the beastman before them. If someone like him becomes the tribe leader at such a young age can only mean that his parents had died under the hands of their tribesmen. Hearing this Lang had no other choice but to comply on what his female wanted.
"Fine!" said Lang as he took the flare from Tuzi's hand and lighted it.
Once the flare was lit, a small sound of booming was heard from the sky. A converging colored smoke remained above them for a few minutes before completely fading.
"So that's a flare. Did you invent it as well?" asked Shizi to Tuzi.
Xiong and Lang were startled with the question Shizi just asked. With just this sentence alone allowed them to know that there are spies watching their tribe's movement.
"You've left a spy around our tribe!?" asked Lang while gritting his teeth in anger.
Shizi replied nonchalantly, "Your tribe also left few around our territory as well. Like how your leaders didn't kill them off, I didn't touch any of them as well."
Xiong stopped his friend from exploding from anger. "Lang, calm down. Leave the talking to the young leader and boss instead. We only follow orders."
Tsk!
Lang just clicked his tongue as he knew that he couldn't get involved in this kind of thing. Things like these are under the jurisdictions of those in authority in their tribe. He is just a warrior with captain rank under their boss, Meizhou. Among the warriors only Meizhou could get involved in this kind of thing.
Tuzi looked at Shizi with a slightly guarded expression.
"I don't know if we can stop all tribesmen from attacking you when they've arrived. Only Baobao or Brother Meizhou could command them to stop. Please don't get offended by their words." said Tuzi.
Shizi stared at Tuzi as he felt that this female is indeed smart as the reports said. Sadly he is not into pure, dense types of females. He is more attracted to cool and intelligent beauty who likes to scheme against others silently. Willing to bend his back accordingly to the situation. A female with a flexible mind.
"I wouldn't. But because the flare was fired near our territory my people should be coming over as well. Don't worry I will command them to stop." said Shizi.
Xiong nodded his head agreement. "Then let's wait for both sides to come over."
---
20 minutes later.
Tribesmen from both sides had come simultaneously.
A group led by the Warrior Boss from Soleil Tribe appeared behind Shizi.
"Tribe Leader! What is that sound and that weird colored smoke on the sky just now? Are you okay!!"
"Lang! Xiong! You've found Tuzi!!" said Sheya who leads the group from Lune Tribe's reinforcement.
Once the two groups saw each other's faces, they all instantly raised their weapons to attack.
"Lune Tribe Bastards!!!"
"Fuckers from the Soleil Tribe!!!"
Tuzi tried to stop his tribesmen, "Ah!! Stop, you guys! Stop!!!" but his voice was buried under the loud sounds of war cry.
Lang and Xiong try to help but it is of no use. Shizi didn't yell like the other three but jumped to block their way. At the same time he jumped into the center, someone from the other side had jumped in with him. Shizi faced the Soleil Tribe and issued the command himself. The other person from the opposite side did it as well. The two faced each other's back as they faced their raging tribesmen. These two only shouted their orders through an issued command.
"STAND DOWN!!!"
The two voices from the two people at the center of the chaos controlled the crowd. The instant they've issued a command both sides become silent and their movements all halted at the same time. Silence descended at that moment.
At the center of the two tribes, one is Shizi and the other one is the newly arrived Meizhou. When the warriors saw their leaders and heard their commands they all instinctively followed the orders.
"Lower your weapons and step 20 steps backwards!" commanded Meizhou.
Shizi sighed and looked at his tribesmen, "You guys step back. You are not to attack with my orders. This will be the last time you will take action without a command from me." he said.
"We don't want to hear any retorts from you guys. Keep your silence!" The two said.
Once the tribesmen of both sides retreated, only Meizhou and Shizi remained at the center. The two observed each other for a few seconds but only Shizi showed changes in his expressions while Meizhou remained indifferent ang haughty the whole time.
Shizi's thoughts: 'This person got even stronger than before. Now I feel he could kill me anytime he wanted. I really need to convince the elders to accept the alliance by hook or by crook.'
The one who spoke first is Shizi, "I would like to speak with you for the sake of two tribes. Do you mind having a talk with me about it?" he asked.
Meizhou replied, "I will listen but the highest authority in my side isn't me. You have to talk to my wife instead."
Shizi and the rest of his people were startled when he heard that the highest authority from Lune Tribe's side is a female beastmen. Only Shizi thought of these words deeply and remembered the legend in Lune Tribe about the strongest female.
"Are you talking about his descendants?" asked Shizi.
Meizhou nodded his head, "If you can convince my wife then no one in the tribe would dare reject your proposition. His standing in our tribe is even higher than the current Tribe Leader, Zhubao." he said.
Shizi who saw the seriousness in Meizhou's pitch black eyes made him believe that this entitled strongest warrior of the Lune Tribe isn't lying. Then he looked at his tribesmen from behind him and noticed that not even one had shown rejection what Meizhou had said.
"Is he here with you?" asked Shizi.
"Yes." replied Meizhou as they watched him walk away from the center and walk in a nearby tree looking above.
With a doting smile on Meizhou's face, "Baby~ he said he wanted to speak with you about the relationship between two tribes. Would you like to talk to him?" he asked.
Silence~
Rustling sounds~~
Everyone waited for an answer but no replied. They've just heard the sound of leaves rustling and an object falling from above the tree. A small figure clad in pure white from head to toes falls within the arms of the warrior named Meizhou. When everyone saw the features of the man in Meizhou's arms, the tribesmen of both tribes were smitten by his exquisite features. He looked like an angel who had fallen from the sky.
White color hair which looks as soft as clouds. Irises with the same shade as the sky. His features were flawless. His phoenix shaped eyes gave away the feeling of temptation. His presence was serene as if he could see him but unable to sense him. His aura is natural as if facing nature.
Facing him is like seeing a God. Just one look is enough for them to accept defeat.
Looking at Shizi who had the highest command from the opposite tribe, "Hello. I am the proxy Tribe leader of Lune, Xuebao." introduced Xuebao with a friendly smile in the corner of his lips.
