Raas chapter 23

Yier? Yalike's partner?

The moment these words rushed into Shi Qing's head, he instantly figured out his identity.

This character was basically an invisible existence throughout all the events that took place. Although he was mentioned from the outset as Yalike's 'wife', after Aimiya appeared, he became a typical punching bag. He was secretly bullied by Aimiya, who reduced him to a shadow. Rather than the chief's mate, he seemed more like a slave.

Of course, the pivotal point was that Yier's character was extremely weak. That, coupled with his slow development that had prevented him from reaching adulthood, had left him with deep feelings of inferiority. Yier believed that he was not fit to be Yalike's partner, so even if Yalike had a new lover, he did not dare to speak up.

It was vital to know that the beastman world and the human world were as different as black and white. Sub-beasts were rare, and although they had no fighting strength, they were very fertile and could produce many strong offspring. Furthermore, they had a strong guiding ability that served to pacify the wild restlessness of beastmen, as well as enhancing their combat strength to a certain degree.

Every beastman desired to have a sub-beast to call his own, but unfortunately the number of sub-beasts were low and the 'supply did not meet the demand'. The great majority of beastmen did not have sub-beast partners. Only the truly formidable, excellent, and outstanding heroes were able to seek out a match with a sub-beast.

Yalike, after all, was not of low birth. Although, at that time, the Yassin Tribe was only classified as mid-level, Yalike's father was still the chief. Since Yalike was his only son, the old chief naturally doted on and spoiled the child.

Yier was a sub-beast born in the Yassin Tribe. Although there were no adults capable of judging his aptitude, Yier's childhood beast form was an adorable small beast, so the likelihood of giving birth to a high-quality beast or sub-beast was extremely high. Moreover, when they were only in their childhood stage, the compatibility between Yier and Yalike was as high as 70%. This was sufficient to illustrate that the Beast God had specifically bestowed Yier upon Yalike to be his exclusive sub-beast.

Therefore, they got married early.

However, who could anticipate that, by the time the old chief died, Yier had failed to mature to adulthood. Sub-beasts in the adolescence stage could not have sexual relations with beastmen who had reached adulthood. They were unable to reproduce, they could not calm the beastman's wildness, and it was impossible to help increase their fighting strength.

Yalike had his own sub-beast, but it was not quite the same without the benefits. A lot of hostile tribes had even attacked to seize him.

Usually, even if they were faced with derision and mockery, beastmen were unconditionally loyal. There was no such thing as abandoning a sub-beast.

It was important to know that there were too many beastmen that were lonely, tormented at night by their innate restlessness. One could imagine how much they hated the beastmen that abandoned their sub-beasts.

However, Yalike had a completely different identity after all. Since that was coupled with Yier's slow development, when he and Aimiya carried on together he was barely criticized.

Frankly speaking though, his conduct caused the people of the Yassin Tribe to feel a chill in their hearts.

Even if Yier was unable to undertake the responsibilities of a sub-beast, he was still a sub-beast of the Yassin Tribe, as well as the sub-beast they had long acknowledged as belonging to the chief. Nowadays, however, Yier was treated coldly, neglected, and left to live so pettily and low. This caused the other sub-beasts of the Yassin Tribe to be frightened; they feared that their own beastmen would emulate the chief's behaviour. At the same time, the beastmen began to call their chief's character into question.
