I, Jasmine Burke, along with my friend Kayla Reeds, found ourselves transported to a primitive beastman tribe. In this tribe where females were extremely precious, they practiced a polyandrous system. The tribe’s leader, Oscar Knight, told us to choose our own partners. Kayla, blushing with excitement, selected the gifted serpent beastman Atlas Michell. I chose the loyal-natured werewolf Jaxson Wallace. Later, after Atlas entered hibernation, Kayla found several more partners and immersed herself in a life surrounded by handsome men. Atlas had an obsessive personality, and upon learning of this, he locked Kayla in a cold underground cave, forcing her to bear children continuously. Meanwhile, Jaxson always cherished me, and eventually inherited the position of tribal leader. On the day of the inheritance ceremony, Kayla, consumed by jealousy, suddenly rushed forward and pushed me off a cliff. When I opened my eyes again, we had returned to that initial day of choosing partners. This time, Kayla was quick to choose Jaxson first. She said, “Jasmine, this time it’s my turn to be the leader’s wife.” I smiled and pointed to the white tiger priest nearby, Timothy Knight: “Then I choose him.” What’s so great about being a leader’s wife? Since this world reveres females, what’s wrong with me becoming a beastman empress? ***** After being pushed off the cliff by Kayla, I was reborn. I was reborn on the day we first crossed over to this beastman tribe. As soon as I opened my eyes, Oscar’s aged voice rang in my ears: “All the unmated males of the White Tiger tribe are here. Two precious females, whichever one you fancy, please choose freely.” When we first arrived here in my previous life, we were still confused and knew nothing about the rules of this world. Fortunately, we could miraculously understand the language of these beastmen. Kayla had been a dating expert in the modern world, always pursuing fresh thrills. After understanding Oscar’s words, she almost immediately chose the handsome and gentle Atlas as her partner. “Hehe, he has two reproductive organs – just thinking about it is exciting!” she whispered excitedly in my ear. For her, this place was practically heaven. She scanned the beastmen present and suggested to me: “Jasmine, you’re too quiet. You can’t handle the really handsome beastmen. I think those ordinary-looking ones would be perfect for you.” The beastmen she pointed to were all guys who looked plain after transformation. But I still took her advice. Actually, it wasn’t because I was really worried about my partner being stolen, but because among those she pointed out was Jaxson. Werewolves were said to be extremely loyal to their mates, choosing only one partner for life. If I chose him, I wouldn’t have to worry about Kayla stealing him away. And indeed, no matter how Kayla tried to seduce him, Jaxson never wavered. She was quite resentful about this and said to me sarcastically: “Jasmine, Jaxson is so boring. He can’t tell right from wrong – he’s really stupid.” I just smiled faintly and didn’t respond. I agreed that Jaxson was boring. But calling him stupid was completely wrong. If he were really that stupid, how could he have used me to achieve great feats in the tribe and eventually ascend to the leader’s position? It’s just that I was always under Jaxson’s tight protection, so Kayla didn’t know about these things. This time, as soon as Oscar finished speaking, Kayla pointed at Jaxson without hesitation: “I want to choose him as my partner.” Hearing her words, Jaxson’s eyes instantly sparkled with surprise and joy. Because in the White Tiger tribe, Jaxson’s strength could only be considered below average. Ordinary females wouldn’t even give him a second glance. The other beastmen also looked unwilling. “Noble female, how could such a lowly werewolf be worthy of you?” a black bear beastman said indignantly, beating his chest. Jaxson immediately looked nervous, with a hint of inferiority. But Kayla smiled slightly and walked straight toward Jaxson: “I want him. I trust my choice. He’ll definitely be the best.” Before leaving, she whispered to me: “Jasmine, this time, it’s my turn to be the leader’s wife.” I just quietly watched her take the initiative to hold Jaxson’s hand. Jaxson looked at her with emotion and howled excitedly at the sky. Seeing this, the other beastmen glared at Jaxson with envy and jealousy, then turned their gazes to me. I scanned them and finally let my gaze settle beside Atlas. Seeing where my attention lingered, Kayla’s eyes shifted, and she smiled as she said to me: “Jasmine, serpent beastmen are very skilled in matters of intimacy. You have no experience. Choosing him would spare you some suffering.” I smiled and politely declined her suggestion: “No thanks. You know I don’t like that spineless type.” With that, I pointed to the tall, muscular Timothy beside Atlas: “I want him.” As soon as I spoke, both Timothy and Oscar’s faces showed a hint of joy. But Kayla couldn’t help showing a gloating expression. I knew exactly what she was thinking. Because the Timothy I chose was not only the White Tiger tribe’s priest, but also Oscar’s biological son. Under normal circumstances, he should have inherited the entire White Tiger tribe. But in my previous life, while he was out hunting, the Lion tribe sent all their young male lions to ambush him, causing him to die from severe injuries and infection. It was precisely because of this that I had the opportunity to scheme for Jaxson and help him ascend to the leader’s position. But in this life, I won’t let Timothy repeat that tragedy. I want him to become the sharpest blade in my hand. What’s a leader’s wife compared to that? Since this world reveres females, then in this life, I will become a true beastman empress. This time, I will personally control my own destiny. After Kayla and I each selected our partners, we began forming contracts with our respective mates in front of all the Orcs. In primitive tribes, females could have multiple male consorts, but only males who formally contracted with a female were qualified to cohabitate with her. The status of male consorts wasn’t much different from kept lovers. Of course, unlike human society, in Orc tribes, male consorts were an accepted, legitimate status recognized by the entire clan, not like lovers who had to remain hidden in the shadows. But once a male consort fell out of favor and was ruthlessly abandoned by the female, it was perfectly normal. In her previous life, Kayla had relied on this very point to brazenly seduce other Orcs during Atlas’s hibernation. She had planned to have her fun and then find an excuse to dump these male consorts. Too bad she never expected that she wouldn’t be able to shake them off. Female Orcs in this world were extremely rare to begin with. How could those Orcs who had finally managed to become her consorts willingly let themselves be cast aside so easily? Therefore, the moment Atlas awakened from hibernation and emerged from his cave, he was surrounded by those Orcs whom Kayla had seduced, demanding an explanation. The root of it all was that Kayla had rejected their advances by claiming “Atlas doesn’t allow her to have male consorts.” When Atlas learned that during his hibernation, Kayla had been entangled with so many Orcs, his fury ignited instantly. After brutally fighting those male consorts, he dragged Kayla back to the snake cave with a darkened expression. Then he began tormenting her in various ways until she became pregnant. Kayla was thus forced to bear children continuously. It wasn’t that she hadn’t thought of seeking help, but Atlas simply wouldn’t give her any chance to leave. It wasn’t until the day Jaxson was about to inherit the Chief’s position and hold the succession ceremony, when everyone in the tribe had to attend, that she finally had an opportunity to emerge from the cave. Since the Chief’s succession ceremony required ritual sacrifice, the location was set at the cliff on the mountain behind the tribe. When she saw that I, who had always been inferior to her in every way, had now become the Chief Consort, she went mad with jealousy. Taking advantage of the moment when all the Orcs were kneeling in worship, she suddenly charged at me and pushed me hard off the cliff. She said: “Jasmine, you’ve never been as good as me in anything since childhood. What right do you have to live better than me? Go die!” My family and the Reed family had originally been neighbors, and early on, my family’s circumstances were even better than theirs. But after my parents died unexpectedly in a car accident, everything in our home was seized by my biased grandmother and handed over to my uncle. Simply because in their eyes, I was just a girl who didn’t deserve to inherit my father’s estate. Kayla’s mother took pity on me and voluntarily supported me financially. Later, I regretted accepting that support countless times. Because Kayla would tell everyone that her family was supporting me, that thanks to her I could continue going to school, otherwise I would have been sent to an orphanage long ago. From then on, I was forever beneath her in front of others. She didn’t like that I got good grades, so I could only deliberately perform poorly to serve as her foil. The friends around me also left me one by one after Kayla appeared. Even my college boyfriend was stolen away by Kayla. Afterward, she simply said: “Jasmine, don’t be angry. I just wanted to help you confirm whether he truly liked you or not. I was just afraid you’d get hurt. See, now I’ve tested it out for you, right? You should really thank me.” I just smiled gratefully at her: “Yeah, thank you, Kayla.” She immediately smiled smugly: “You’re welcome. We’re good friends, after all.” But inside, I was sneering coldly. The word “friend” had been tainted by people like her! However, the Reed family had indeed shown me kindness—this was an undeniable fact. I couldn’t completely cut ties with Kayla and break her mother’s heart. But all of that was from my previous life. From the moment Kayla pushed me off that cliff, I no longer owed the Reed family anything.
The contract was quickly completed. Oscar then said to us with a cheerful smile, “Alright, now that the contract is done, you can all head back. Don’t be discouraged, other males—if you can win the favor of these two females, you might still have a chance to become their male servants.” As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding Orcs visibly relaxed, their gazes turning toward Kayla and me with anticipation and burning intensity. Seeing this, Timothy’s eyes instantly turned cold. He spun around, positioning himself protectively in front of me. His icy gaze swept over the crowd as he growled menacingly, “She’s mine, and I will never share her with anyone! Anyone who dares to set their sights on her, I’ll tear them apart.” Witnessing Timothy’s unwavering stance, the other Orcs exchanged glances before ultimately showing expressions of disappointment. They all knew Timothy’s strength well—competing against him would be virtually hopeless. However, dealing with that guy named Jaxson would be much easier. The Orcs’ attention collectively shifted to Kayla, while their looks toward Jaxson were filled with hostility and murderous intent. In Orc society, a male’s status was determined by strength. Jaxson’s power didn’t even rank in the top hundred within the White Tiger Tribe—what right did he have to form a contract with such a delicate female? They could accept Timothy monopolizing a female since he was the tribe’s strongest male with supreme status. But Jaxson? What gave him the right to monopolize such a precious female? Watching everyone argue over her, Kayla’s face showed a hint of smug satisfaction, as if this was exactly the treatment she deserved. But she seemed completely oblivious to the fact that once you enter a wolf’s den, you can never escape unscathed. I glanced at her indifferently, then said to Timothy, “I’m tired. I want to go back and rest.” Hearing my words, he immediately showed a nervous and concerned expression. The next second, his arm—thicker than my thigh—gently lifted me up. “I’ll take you back to rest right now,” he said, then steadily carried me in his arms as he strode quickly toward his stone dwelling. Within the tribe, Timothy’s status was actually higher than Oscar’s. Not only was Timothy responsible for rituals and divination, but he also held the tribe’s secret knowledge. Most importantly, he was the only one who could heal injured Orcs. In this primitive society with extremely scarce medical resources, whether Orcs could survive their injuries depended entirely on Timothy’s medical skills. After Timothy brought me back to his stone dwelling, he carefully placed me on the stone bed covered with animal fur. His brilliant golden eyes gazed at me intently as he said gently, “Rest here for a moment. I’ll get you a blanket.” I nodded softly. He quickly retrieved a large fur blanket from a wooden chest. However, to my surprise, instead of immediately covering me with it, he spread it over the stone bed. After smoothly arranging it, he looked down at my exposed skin and said softly, “Your skin looks so delicate. I’ll add another layer of blanket so the stone bed won’t hurt you.” It wasn’t that no females in the tribe had thrown themselves at him, but he had never been interested in the tribal females. Today, after seeing her, he finally understood that what he truly liked were delicate and adorable females like her. Moreover, her scent was truly intoxicating, making him reluctant to let go. I never expected that Timothy, who looked so fierce and strong on the outside, would have such a delicate and considerate heart. I said, “Yes, thank you. By the way, what’s your name? I’m Jasmine Burke.” “I’m Timothy Knight. If you need anything, just let me know,” Timothy said. I nodded again. “Okay, I understand. I’ll rest now.” Kayla and I had somehow stumbled into this primitive tribe that was never recorded in history while we were hiking and mountain climbing. Before being discovered by the beastmen of the White Tiger Tribe and brought back to their settlement, we had already been climbing for nearly two hours. So I was truly exhausted now. Seeing me lie down, Timothy lowered his voice. “I won’t disturb your rest then. I’ll go find you something to eat. What would you like?” Thinking about the living habits of primitive tribes, I shuddered and quickly said, “Some berries, and please cook some meat soup. Cut the meat into small pieces, or I won’t be able to chew it.” The beastmen of this primitive tribe could freely shift between their beast and human forms. In beast form, it was perfectly normal for them to eat their prey raw. However, most of the time they maintained their human form, only entering beast form during battles. Beastmen in human form rarely ate raw meat, usually cooking, stewing, or roasting their food instead. But due to their massive size, they were accustomed to cutting food into large chunks when cooking, making it easier to gnaw on. Each bone was thicker than my forearm. For them, gnawing on large bones was effortless, but for human teeth like ours, it was quite a challenge. Moreover, meat in primitive societies was generally tough and chewy. Even stewed meat was difficult to bite through. In my previous life, because I couldn’t get used to the food here, I could only survive on berries each day. After a summer rain, I fell seriously ill and nearly lost my life. Fortunately, Timothy did have some skills. He gave me water brewed with some dark, murky medicinal paste, and I slowly recovered. After hearing my request, Timothy stared at my face for a while before nodding seriously. “I understand. Get some sleep.” “Mm.” I immediately closed my eyes. Due to exhaustion, I soon fell into a deep sleep. When I woke up again, it was already dark outside. I sat up abruptly on the stone bed. “Jasmine, you’re awake? You must be hungry. Get up and eat something,” Timothy’s deep voice sounded beside my ear. I touched my empty stomach and got up from the bed. Two stone plates were already set on the wooden table in the room. One plate contained meat soup, the other held unfamiliar berries. “Have you eaten?” I asked as I sat at the wooden table. Timothy hummed in response, his golden eyes fixed intently on me, the desire in his gaze direct and burning. “I’ve already eaten. Go ahead and eat.” “Okay.” I gripped the spoon in my hand, knowing he wouldn’t let me off tonight. I sipped the meat soup in small mouthfuls. Timothy was indeed much more capable than Jaxson. With just one mention from me, he had cut the meat into thin strips and stewed it until it was very tender. Though only seasoned with salt, it was truly delicious. Before I knew it, I had finished more than half the plate. But there was simply too much soup on the plate, and I couldn’t finish the rest. “I’m full,” I said, putting down my spoon. Timothy glanced at my stomach, as if confirming I was truly satisfied. Then he looked at me with burning eyes and said in a low voice, “I’ll clean up the plates. I’ve channeled the mountain spring into the house, so you can go wash up.” Hearing this, I couldn’t help but feel pleasantly surprised. Timothy’s stone house actually had a hot spring? Then I wouldn’t have to worry about bathing anymore. Most beastmen lived roughly and bathed directly in the river, but I didn’t dare do that. After Timothy left with the stone plates, I walked toward the place he mentioned in the dim light. Seeing the misty steam, I undressed and slowly entered the pool. Before I could finish washing, Timothy had already entered carrying a torch. He stuck the torch into the wall and approached me step by step. That burning gaze seemed as if it would melt my body. I couldn’t help but tremble slightly. Jaxson’s physique was far less robust than Timothy’s, and in my previous life, I nearly lost half my life with him. So with someone like Timothy, I was afraid I might die in bed. Just as I was filled with worry, he had already pulled me forcefully into his embrace, his body temperature even hotter than the spring water, making my entire body go limp.
“Timothy, I’m scared…” I couldn’t help but grip his arm tightly, my voice trembling as I made no attempt to hide my inner tension and vulnerability. Timothy’s body stiffened slightly, then he looked down at me with deep, focused eyes. “Don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you.” Of course I knew he wouldn’t hurt me. Among the Orc tribes, females were extremely precious. Under normal circumstances, no male Orc would ever harm a female. But when it came to reproduction, that was a different story entirely. Take Jaxson, for example. After bringing me home, he made me suffer almost every night just to get me pregnant as quickly as possible. He was an Orc several times stronger than me, while I was just an ordinary human. That kind of thing was pure torture for me, making me wish I were dead on multiple occasions. If I hadn’t later proven my worth, I probably would have had to endure that hellish existence until I got pregnant. “I know you won’t hurt me, but… but you’re too big.” I said with a flushed face, gritting my teeth. Timothy’s body was massive, and the size difference between us was simply too great. When he held me, it felt like he was holding a large doll. I didn’t want to die from something like this right after being reborn. Timothy paused for a moment, then seemed to understand my concern. He lowered his head and kissed the top of my head. “Don’t worry, I have a special potion that won’t let you get hurt.” Hearing this, I couldn’t help but look up at him in surprise. “Really?” He nodded seriously. “Of course. If you don’t believe me, you can try it.” After hesitating for a moment, I finally nodded and agreed. To achieve my goals, maintaining a good relationship with Timothy was essential. Besides, he was a Priest—maybe he really did have some kind of magical medicine. As it turned out, Timothy hadn’t lied to me. That thing I had once feared brought little pain this time, and instead allowed me to experience something completely different for the first time. Though Timothy’s stamina was incredible. By the end, I was so exhausted I passed out. When I woke up again, it was already noon the next day. “Jasmine, you’re awake? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?” Timothy held a plate of water and brought it to my lips, wanting to feed me. I felt a bit embarrassed. But my body was indeed so weak I didn’t even have the strength to get out of bed, so I could only lean back against the bed and let him feed me. Timothy’s gaze as he looked at me grew increasingly gentle and attentive. Afterward, he carried me to the hot spring pool for another soak. “Jasmine, I need to patrol the back mountain this afternoon. Rest well at home and wait for me to return,” he said gently. I nodded softly. Though I really wanted to go with him to see the back mountain, I truly couldn’t muster any energy today. After Timothy left, I lay in bed, my thoughts drifting back to my previous life. In my past life, Timothy had been targeted by the Lion Tribe around mid-winter. It was during the harsh winter when Oscar had fallen seriously ill from the cold. As the only Priest in the tribe who understood medicine, Timothy had ventured into the deep mountains to hunt a certain animal, needing its bones and fat to make medicine for Oscar. Somehow, he was discovered by the Lion Tribe. After a brutal battle, Timothy returned severely wounded, and because he lacked that medicinal salve, he died from infection within a month. But the Lion Tribe didn’t get off easy either—Timothy had killed over a dozen of their young warriors. The two tribes had been bitter enemies ever since. Since tiger bones also had healing properties, before dying, Timothy specifically instructed the Orcs he trusted to extract his tiger bones after his death and brew medicine for Oscar, which saved Oscar’s life. But Oscar was getting old after all, and from then on, he grew weaker day by day. After losing Timothy, his excellent son, he had no choice but to select a new heir within the tribe. That’s when I seized the opportunity, secretly guiding Jaxson and helping him gradually stand out and win recognition from the other Orcs. I also used schemes to help him achieve victory in the war between the two tribes. Finally, on his deathbed, Oscar passed the Chief position to Jaxson. The other Orcs had long been convinced by his repeated achievements and naturally raised no objections. Thus, Jaxson smoothly became the new Chief. But if Kayla expected Jaxson to claim the Chief position in this life, she was dreaming. Jaxson was indeed loyal to his mate, but his reproductive instincts were even stronger. Once it involved offspring, his mating cycles seemed to never end—it was terrifying. I was a bit curious about how Kayla was doing now. But since she wasn’t even afraid of Viper Orcs, a mere Lycan probably couldn’t do much to her. Given Jaxson’s personality, the next time I saw them would probably be when Kayla was pregnant.
