As time slipped by bit by bit, night gradually descended over the grassland.
As the most powerful tribe on this grassland, the Tatu Tribe had many young men and women in their prime. These future fresh blood of the tribe were not only skilled with bow and horse, but also brimming with vigorous, upward-looking energy.
This day was a great day for their Tatu Tribe—the day the chief's son turned sixteen and came of age.
On this day, one of their chiefs, known as a divine archer, had not only hunted three Saber-toothed Tigers, rulers just beneath the overlords of the grassland, with the help of the chief, but had also brought back a friend from the city.
To the people of the Tatu Tribe, guests who came from afar were always treated with incomparable warmth.
And so, to celebrate the chief's son coming of age, and also to receive the guest from afar, the Tatu Tribe held a grand evening gathering tonight.
At this moment, flames lit up the Tatu Tribe, and the place was bustling with noise and excitement. Young men and women circled the bonfire, singing and dancing, making it wonderfully lively.
And our protagonist, student Kashius, was currently sitting on a rush cushion, holding a lamb leg in one hand and gnawing away with great delight.
Moreover, the table in front of him was filled with all kinds of delicacies. There was whole roasted lamb, goat milk, Saber-toothed Tiger meat, and so on.
There was so much food it was impossible to count.
The burly man seated in the main seat watched Kashius eating happily, and his heart slowly relaxed. At the same time, he secretly cursed his own son in his heart. How could he treat a guest from afar with such a terrible attitude?
And besides, so what if you made a move? The most humiliating part was that even after making a move, you couldn't beat him. You were almost killed by him. How embarrassing!
"Little brother Kashius, are you enjoying the food?" the burly man asked, looking in Kashius's direction.
When Kashius heard him, he stopped eating, nodded at the burly man, and replied, "I'm enjoying it very much. Not only is the food here delicious, the people are also very warm. I like it a lot."
Kashius was not lying. The girls here really were very warm. Just during the time he had been eating, no fewer than ten grassland girls had already come over to strike up a conversation.
However, a certain ahoge who was wholeheartedly infatuated with the delicious food had not really paid them much attention.
"That's good! That's good!"
When the burly man heard this, he nodded repeatedly.
However, the burly man's son, A-Feng, did not give Kashius any good looks.
Still, he did not dare act too wildly. After all, Kashius's strength was right there for everyone to see. What could he do? Go up and get beaten again? Stop joking. This was inside the tribe; A-Feng did not want to embarrass himself.
Even so, A-Feng, who was sitting beside the burly man, still had a dark expression as he stared fixedly at Kashius.
As for this matter, Kashius's attitude was: who cares about you? You glare all you want, I'll eat my food, and neither of us will bother the other.
"Hey, I heard from Daddy that you defeated my brother in an instant. Is that true?"
At this moment, Kashius suddenly heard a pleasant voice. Immediately afterward, he caught a faint, delicate fragrance.
Curious, Kashius turned his head to look.
Beside him stood a young girl in the bloom of youth. Not only did she have a delicate oval face, she also had healthy wheat-colored skin.
Especially those eyes that shone like agate—they made one fall into them without even realizing it.
The person beside Kashius was none other than the chief's daughter, Natashi, who was known as the first golden flower of the grassland.
"Hey, why aren't you talking? You look so dazed. So cute~ hehe~"
Seeing Kashius's dazed appearance, Natashi could not help covering her mouth and laughing softly.
"Uh..."
Realizing he had made a fool of himself, Kashius hurriedly shifted his gaze away and stopped looking at Natashi.
Still, this girl was so pretty. She was way better than that undeveloped little brat Mana.
(Author: You little brat, can this big sister compare to a loli as cute as Mana? Besides, once Mana develops, she'll definitely be ten thousand times better than this big sister!
Kashius: ...)
"My name is Natashi. I'm the daughter of the tribe chief, you know. Also, I'm the first golden flower on this grassland."
Looking at Kashius, Natashi spoke with a somewhat playful tone.
Kashius: Uh... looking like that, you really can be called the first golden flower of the grassland. But, big sister, why are your eyes so scary? I'm so scared...
"(⊙o⊙) Wow, then doesn't that mean Big Sister has lots of young men chasing after her?" Kashius said, pretending to be surprised.
"Of course. Big Sister has lots of people chasing after her," Natashi answered subconsciously. But then, thinking it over, she realized something was wrong with the script. Big Sister? What was going on?
"Uh... you're calling me Big Sister? How old are you? You're not younger than me, are you? Kashius!!!" Natashi suddenly said in shock.
Actually, after hearing her father say that Kashius had subdued her brother in an instant, Natashi had become somewhat interested in Kashius.
But after seeing Kashius's handsome face, Natashi had fallen deeply for this boy. After all, boys who were both good-looking and strong were rare.
"Uh... Big Sister, after this year, I'll be thirteen..." Kashius answered somewhat awkwardly when he heard her.
However, Kashius clearly noticed that after he said he was almost thirteen, Natashi's eyes suddenly lit up. Then he faintly heard Natashi mutter under her breath.
"Thirteen, huh? That's not that young. I'm only fifteen myself."
After secretly thinking, This is bad, Kashius began looking for an excuse to slip away.
"Um, miss, I'm kind of full, so I won't keep partying with you guys. I'm going to sleep first."
Just as Kashius got up and turned around, wanting to run, he clearly felt a soft, delicate hand take hold of his.
Immediately after, a pleasant voice sounded beside Kashius's ear.
"Kashius, come dance with me."
Then Kashius was forcibly dragged over to the bonfire by a certain girl. At first, a certain black-haired guy planned to resist and flee. But maybe because the girls on the grasslands were stronger, Kashius dazed out for a moment and was pulled off balance.
Then, right as he was about to fall, he was dragged over to the bonfire by that enthusiastic grassland girl.
Sensing the hostility coming from every direction—especially A-Feng's almost man-eating glare—Kashius instantly felt extremely awkward and scratched his head in embarrassment.
Kashius: Brothers, I didn't want this either. It was clearly your flower of the tribe who stubbornly dragged me over here. You can't blame me.
(Author: You're just making excuses, you pervert! With your combat power of over 2,000, you could be dragged away by a girl with less than 10 combat power?)
"Hey, Kashius, why are you just standing there? Move with me."
Perhaps because she saw Kashius staring blankly at the bonfire in a daze, Natashi directly took both of Kashius's hands and began leading him in the dance.
At this point, Kashius simply went with the flow and started dancing to Natashi's rhythm.
Only, behind him, dozens of pairs of eyes led by A-Feng were staring daggers at Kashius, making chills run down his back.
