Qingyi couldn't help but be shocked by the size of that 'tribal village', if it could be called that.
Its low density made it expand for miles, with primitive but strangely elegant wooden houses surrounding paths that seemed to shape themselves naturally, passing by streams and lakes.
From the small hill where they watched, Qingyi could see a large palace in the center, apparently fused to a tree that reached over five hundred meters high.
The skull of a colossal canid creature was entwined between its branches.
"Come on, I'll introduce you to a nice tavern. My name is Jin'Rao, by the way." The real immortal spoke, patting Qingyi on the back before skipping off towards the city.
The handsome young man couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
Why on earth was Jin'Rao treating an outsider he had just met so well? Wasn't that a bit suspicious?
Qingyi reflected on this for a brief moment before shaking his head.
He was in a land far, far away from anything he knew. It was best, at least for the time being, to stay by Jin'Rao's side.
With a sigh, he too jumped, falling for a few hundred meters and landing on a small trail that soon opened up into a wide road.
It was lined with strangely organized tree branches, forming a dense pathway with no potholes, separating those walking on it from the muddy ground below.
As he entered the city, Qingyi immediately found himself surrounded by a mixture of smells, people and beasts the likes of which he had never seen before.
Honestly, the biggest surprise Qingyi got was seeing a voluptuous cat woman shouting a loud, high-pitched and cute "Nyan" after a man slapped her ass in a tavern.
The man's face was immediately torn apart by her sharp claws, whose face was full of rage.
About 95% of the population there were catfolk, but he could still see several other types of beast folk, even one who exuded a powerful draconic Qi and had a large pair of horns on his head.
The vast majority seemed to be young men looking to try and win the hand of the princess of the cat people's tribe.
Their clothing was much more refined than that of the catfolk, as was their manners. Although they were both part of the beast folk, they seemed to be from completely separate civilizations.
"Don't be surprised, we are a hunting people. We have never abandoned the tradition of our ancestors, nor will we, unlike many other folks." Jin'Rao spoke, noticing the look on Qingyi's face.
His tail wrapped around his own waist as he entered a tavern, dragging one of his sharp nails against the wood.
The next moment, a beautiful and elegant waitress appeared, carrying with her a tray full of beers in wooden mugs.
"Oh... Captain Jin'Rao! Who's the handsome?" The waitress smiled at Qingyi, her voice turning into a soft purr as she approached their table, her tail, blackened with white spots, swaying gently, rubbing against Qingyi's arm.
"A lost young man I met in the forest. Give us a good beer to wet our throats and have a little chat."
"Oh... interesting, nyan..." The waitress's eyes sparkled as she placed two beers on the counter, soon being forced to go and serve other customers.
The Cat Folk tribe was much busier than usual because of the great hunt and she had too many customers to be able to pay as much attention to Qingyi as she wanted.
"You can drink, this one's on me, hahaha" Jin'Rao laughed, patting the table before taking a big gulp of beer.
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Jin'Rao. I promise this junior will repay you when he gets the chance." Qingyi said, taking a big gulp, feeling the sweet liquid go down his throat.
It was tasty, much better than he'd expected from a place like this, inferior only to what Elize could do if she was interested in brewing beer.
"You don't have to worry about these things, young man. I was only raised by a father who gave me a good eye for people and the honor of always helping those in need."
Jin'Rao laughed, stretching slightly, his nails growing to many centimeters before retracting them again.
It was strange. They were no different from human nails, but they grew sharp and long whenever their bearer wanted them to.
"Now, why don't you tell me more about the outside world and-" Jin'Rao's voice was interrupted by a commotion outside, a loud rumbling echoing.
"Oh... looks like the princess has arrived from her latest hunt!" Jin'Rao stood up, a big smile taking over his face, his tail wagging excitedly.
"Come on, young man, this may be your first and only chance to see her, even from afar!" Jin'Rao said, getting up and leaving the tavern; Qingyi followed close behind.
When they left the place, Qingyi immediately saw a young woman walking down the street, a boar carcass that reached over ten meters in length floating right behind her.
Her beauty was a surprise, even to Qingyi, who had already seen countless incomparable beauties.
She was short, barely reaching Qingyi's chest, with short orange hair with pointed ends, decorated by a pair of orange ears, her insides carrying white, fluffy fur.
Behind her, her tail was the same color, a deep orange with a white tip.
Her skin was pale, slightly golden and her breasts were covered only by a small, baggy leather top, which left large parts of the paler, sun-touched skin of her huge tits visible, contrasting with the slightly tanned skin of the rest of her body.
A leather tribal thong covered her private parts, falling into the deep valley of her round, plump and shapely buttocks and between her thighs, surely her strongest point; thick, soft and powerful.
'Ah... these tribes really do have good taste in clothes...' Qingyi sighed, observing this woman from head to toe, from her beautiful, delicate face and deep green eyes to her incomparable thighs and lean, toned belly.
Glancing at her status screen, Qingyi's eyes lit up.
