Hu Lexuan sobered up instantly.
He didn't even notice the sake slipping from the corner of his mouth, soaking a large area of his chest.
"Level 29?!"
Hu Lexuan's voice was high-pitched.
"Lady Lexuan, it's 49," Fu Bingqiao corrected.
Hu Lexuan: "..."
She rubbed her ears, confirming that it wasn't level 29 or 39, but level 49. She was just one level away from breaking through level 50!
"Impossible! With your strength so weak, let alone the minotaurs outside, I feel you can't even beat a kobold at the leader level. How could you possibly pass the 49th level of the Beast God Trial?"
Hu Lexuan's beautiful face was filled with doubt and disbelief.
It fully conveyed the expression of suspicion.
It wasn't that she couldn't believe it, but rather that the matter was so shocking to her.
Hu Lexuan had long sensed the Fu Bufu and her followers, as well as the fact that they had been killed several times by the minotaurs in Bannory, all of which proved that Fu Bufu's strength was not high.
In her estimation, this lucky Descenders was already doing well enough to pass 15 levels.
And now you're telling me you've already passed level 49!
Joke!
Currently, not a single member of the Orcish royal family has passed level 40. What qualifications does this Descenders have...?
Fu Bingqiao revealed her title of [Beast Spirit Envoy].
Hu Lexuan instantly sensed the blessing of the Beast God on Fu Bingqiao and was speechless.
He really just does whatever he wants because of the Beast God's favor...
I had long heard that the Holy Tree of the Elf race had turned a Descenders into a saintess, and now it seems that the same thing has happened to our Beastman Empire.
Hu Lexuan couldn't help but ponder this matter.
What do the Descenders mean to the Beast God and the Holy Tree?
At the same time, Fu Bingqiao heard a system notification.
"Ding! You have completed the Fox Priest's test. You have received 3 million experience points, 3,000 reputation points with the Beastman Empire, and 10 favor points with Hu Lexuan."
The system notification also rang in Qiqi and Kurumi's ears, but as auxiliary helpers, their rewards were halved.
However, because Kurumi is treated as an individual in the Meta World, she is essentially a soul split off from Qiqi.
Experience points, reputation points, and favorability points are all shared.
Therefore, Qiqi's final reward was no less than Fu Bingqiao's, and because of Kurumi's [Stunning Beauty] talent, Hu Lexuan's favorability towards Qiqi increased by 15 points.
The surge in goodwill towards Qiqi attracted Hu Lexuan's attention.
"You received the Beast God's blessing even though you weren't favored by him?!"
It was obvious that Hu Lexuan had also noticed the [Beast Spirit Envoy] titles on Qiqi and Kurumi.
Because Qiqi's appearance was completely different from her true form, Hu Lexuan did not recognize that Qiqi was the Holy Maiden of the Elf race, and therefore, she only showed a sigh of surprise on her face.
"Yes."
Hu Lexuan was speechless.
None of the current princes and princesses of the orc royal family have received the blessing of the Beast God, but now three have suddenly appeared.
That's truly bizarre.
However, once there's a first one, it's much easier to accept when a second or third one appears.
However, Hu Lexuan had some doubts. Was the Beast God angry because the current Beastman Emperor had sealed His Trial Grounds underground, making it only effective for the royal family's trials? Was He not bestowing His blessings upon the royal family, but instead bestowing blessings upon the three Descenders?
You must understand that only the Orc King in the Oens Empire has the blessing of the Beast God. If the Orc King dies, then there will be no more orcs in the entire Oens Empire who will be favored by the Beast God.
The priests originally disagreed with sealing off the Beast God Trial Grounds, sigh...
Hu Lexuan sighed with melancholy.
It seems it's all fate.
Hu Lexuan quickly assigned Fu Bingqiao the next task.
[Beastman Race Banquet]
The task content is also very simple and clear.
It was at the following Beastman Race Banquet that she successfully defeated ten orc royals who came to provoke her, making them acknowledge Fu Bingqiao's strength.
However, this task was not suitable for Fu Bingqiao...
It's impossible for her to do it; she'd be just a free kill if she went on stage.
Fu Bingqiao is currently just an ordinary human with a maximum attribute of 10, so it's impossible for her to defeat these orc royals whose Life Level range from rare to legendary.
Inside a beautiful stone house.
The floor was smooth as jade, the walls were white jade with cloud and thunder patterns, and the luminous pearls embedded in the walls emitted a faint glow at dusk.
The pearl and gemstone gauze curtains hanging on the door jingled and tinkled in the breeze.
She looked adorned with jewels and precious stones.
An orc wearing chainmail walked in from outside.
He knelt down and said, "Your Highness, the Descenders who accepted the orc trial mission has passed the orc god's trial and is preparing to attend tonight's banquet."
"Oh, how many levels have you passed?" Shi Yi, dressed in a gorgeous satin robe, asked nonchalantly.
That Descenders is killed every day and is constantly in a state of death penalty. How many floors can she clear?
Hmph, at worst I'll just have to pass level 9.
If it weren't for their ability to resurrect infinitely, Shi Yi felt that even glancing at these Descenders would be an honor bestowed upon them.
"Your Highness, we have checked the final challenge record, and it appears that the Descenders has passed 50 levels."
Shi Yi: "???"
"Ah?"
"Are you sure you didn't misread it? Level 50? Even the First Prince can't get past that level! Are you sure you didn't misread it? Or is there a problem with the trial grounds?"
"By the way, the trial grounds aren't used very often, so it's normal for errors to occur. And you guys, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that this answer is impossible, so why are you still coming to me with this?"
Shi Yi snorted coldly.
If that Descenders could actually pass level 50, would he really be being chased and killed by those minotaurs?
Joke.
Shi Yi figured that most of the other princes had probably received the message as well, so he quickly went to greet them with a smile.
What kind of beast god is this? Even his own trial grounds are malfunctioning.
Shi Yi was convinced of his own ideas, and then rushed to the other princes to share his hilarious conclusions.
After accepting the mission, Fu Bingqiao followed Hu Lexuan and headed towards the gathering in the center of the imperial city.
It's evening now, so it's not too late to go to the banquet.
The main purpose of this banquet was to introduce Fu Bingqiao to the princes and princesses and gain their approval.
This process is the complete opposite of Qiqi's mission as a saintess.
It was only after Qiqi had been a saintess for some time that Empress Bai Ya slowly revealed her identity and introduced her to the elven nobles.
"Your Highness Su, I feel like this empire doesn't really respect the Beast God, it's completely different from the Elf race." Fu Bingqiao leaned down and whispered in Qiqi's ear.
