CHAPTER 273: CHAPTER 160: THE UNDERCOVER PROMOTION JOURNEY OF THE DRAGON MAIDEN

The two of them silently stared at each other for a while.

Shami was the first to break the silence.

"Elze, it must have been hard for you, living a life where you have to hide your identity while gathering intelligence must be very challenging."

At this moment, the Dragon Race Maiden disguised as a Minotaur had heavy dark circles under her eyes, and her eye whites were bloodshot.

Shami couldn’t help but express concern.

The Dragon Race Maiden recalled the events of the past few days, her expression slightly vacant.

"It’s not that it’s particularly hard, it’s just that some things are very difficult to accept."

"What things?"

The Dragon Race Maiden opened her mouth slightly, but after pondering, she didn’t know where to start, so she shook her head.

"Forget it. Let’s just hurry up and finish the mission so I can return quickly. If I stay there any longer, I’m afraid I’ll be influenced."

Shami, not yet knowing the atmosphere of the Minotaur Tribe, patted the Dragon Race Maiden.

"One week, just stay there for one more week."

The Dragon Race Maiden gritted her teeth and agreed.

"By the way, there’s some more intelligence I need to tell you. There are a total of 4 Minotaur Tribes here. One main tribe, behind the mountain over there. And 3 sub-tribes, located to the north, the west, and the one we previously destroyed."

Shami silently noted that down.

"Besides the Minotaur Tribe, there’s also the Skeleton Race and the Rolling Stone Spirit Tribe here. The Skeleton Race’s headquarters is inside that mountain. The Rolling Stone Spirit’s headquarters is in the minefield behind the mountain.

According to the intelligence gathered, all three of these races follow the orders of someone called Bichu’er. Bichu’er’s headquarters is also nearby."

Indeed, this is the stronghold of the defected Demon Envoy Bichu’er.

If that’s the case, these three races must have been the monsters that defected with Bichu’er at the time.

"Understood."

"Then I’ll go back now."

Under the cover of night, the Dragon Race Maiden returned to the Minotaur Tribe.

Due to a promotion, she had been elevated from a sub-tribe to the main tribe, co-managing the Minotaur Tribe’s assets with several senior Minotaurs.

"Lita, you’re back~ There are a total of 9 Minotaurs here to receive their subsidies, each Minotaur needs 8 Silver Coins, so how many Silver Coins should be taken from the warehouse in total?"

"...Is it really such a difficult math problem as soon as I get back? — 72."

"As expected of a math genius!"

"The Minotaurs who went out to gather brought back a bunch of Silver Coins, and the Minotaurs who returned from mining also brought back a small heap of Gold Coins, the total number of Gold Coins and Silver Coins is 40, given the Silver Coins..."

"Show me the color of the metal in these matters, you idiots!"

"A math genius’s unique bad temper, Lita."

The purple-haired girl’s eyebrow twitched as she clenched her small hand.

The Minotaur Tribe’s assets consisted of only a small amount of Silver Coins and Gold Coins, and because of these daily trivialities, the Dragon Race Maiden, who always loved gold, had lost all interest in the Minotaur’s assets.

Let’s end this quickly, if I stay here any longer, I’m going to lose my sanity.

That night.

Tonight it was her and another Minotaur’s turn to guard the tribe’s asset warehouse.

Night was the time the Dragon Race Maiden feared the most.

As night fell and the entire land was submerged in darkness, various rustling noises would sound from the Minotaur Tribe.

In the tribe with only a few torches for illumination, countless shadows flitted back and forth everywhere.

But this wasn’t a haunting or an invasion, it was countless Minotaurs scurrying chaotically.

Here they come!

Standing on duty in front of the warehouse entrance, Elze nervously swallowed.

A large-scale swap husband/wife party with who knows how many Minotaurs involved was about to begin!

Every time night fell, it seemed as if the latent Minotaur’s Strength of the entire tribe was awakened, and the entire small forest was filled to the brim with Minotaurs sneaking out for secret liaisons.

Like, they have husbands or wives at home, so why do they still do such things?!

The purple-haired girl couldn’t comprehend this.

"Lita, do you want to go to the toilet? The shift change won’t happen soon."

"Ah, I’ll go."

The absent-minded purple-haired girl decided to take a walk to ease her inner frustration.

"Wait, Lita, remember to keep the torch away, otherwise it might cause a big accident. But you remember that, right?"

"Of course. I remember."

The purple-haired girl was puzzled but quickly understood what it meant, nodding her head.

After all, most houses in the Minotaur Tribe were made of straw, so a fire would be disastrous.

The purple-haired girl extinguished the torch and slowly left the warehouse.

But after walking for a while, besides the twinkling stars in the sky, there was hardly any light on the ground.

The purple-haired girl felt it was too dark around her, so she quietly lit a torch and slowly headed to the toilet by herself.

On the small path, muffled mooing sounds came from the small forest and bushes on either side.

The purple-haired girl’s curiosity was piqued.

Although the situation felt like a magical girl succumbing to dark desires, the curiosity of a Dragon Maiden was limitless.

Having come here, she had never seen what it looked like inside the small forest.

Just one glance shouldn’t cause any major issues, right?

The purple-haired girl swallowed and quietly approached a small forest, slowly lifting the bushes outside the forest.

In the small forest.

Two burly and large-bodied Minotaurs, their bodies covered in scars and muscles distinctly outlined, were engaged in philosophical discourse.

The purple-haired girl silently backed away, her eyes wide with shock, soullessly walking the path.

Her eyes hurt, had she already developed a fatal sty on her eyes?

A scene beyond imagination of depravity!

If she didn’t leave, something strange inside of her would awaken!

The purple-haired girl fled.

At this moment, the torch that the purple-haired girl forgot burned, causing noise from the forest.

Seeing each other’s appearances clearly, several Minotaurs entangled in a brawl.

"Damn! You sneaked into the forest with him behind my back!"

"Aren’t you the same, you bastard! So the guy next to me was you?!"

"Wait, you’re a guy?!"

The noise grew increasingly chaotic, eventually bursting into a battle in the small forest.

——

Tory returned to the Minotaur Main Tribe and found that half of the male Minotaurs in the tribe had injuries of various degrees.

"What’s going on?"

Tory looked toward the tribal elder in front of him.

The one-horned tribal elder looked at Tory with a solemn expression.

"Chief, last night I held a martial arts tournament in the tribe, these wounds were all sustained during the competition."

What martial arts tournament, more like a swap party!

On the side, the purple-haired girl, who coincidentally caused great damage to the Minotaur Tribe, snarked in her heart.

She instantly recognized this one-horned Minotaur was the one sneaking in the forest last night with a female Minotaur.

Even the elder participated? That’s practically a custom-level event!

"I see. Exchange and communication is a good thing."

Tory sighed. At this time, a light-brown female Minotaur approached Tory.

"Husband, how did things go over there?"

The purple-haired girl widened her eyes.

Wait, wasn’t that the female Minotaur sneaking around with the one-horned male Minotaur last night!!!

The purple-haired girl turned her head dumbfoundedly, pitifully looking at Tory.

"Oh, Chief. I’d like to introduce to you a young Minotaur who might become a Wise One — Lita.

He can easily calculate additions, subtractions, multiplications, and divisions within two digits, and is also knowledgeable with computations above three digits.

Moreover, he is dedicated solely to the tribe’s development, having divorced his wife for better work, never returning home. It’s clearly the manifestation of a Minotaur Wise One dedicating themselves to the tribe!"

"Oh, is that so?"

Tory gave a once-over to the Minotaur with heavy dark circles before him.

The purple-haired girl awkwardly nodded.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to go home, it’s just that it’s not her home anymore.

And besides, she’d just get entangled by that unfamiliar female Minotaur at home demanding to perform marital duties, how could a novice girl like her accept such a thing!

"Alright then, stay by my side for now. But we don’t advocate neglecting family for the tribe, as family is also a crucial part of the tribe."

Tory had a leader’s aura, generously gazing at the purple-haired girl.

The purple-haired girl felt moved in her heart.

Unexpectedly, within a tribe of such depraved thinking, the Minotaur Chief could have such awareness!

Oh, poor Chief, should she tell him he’s been cheated on?

"So, you can focus on planning for the tribe, leave your wife to my care."

This tribe isn’t worth pity for a single bull!
