Chapter 213 Naming
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the ventilation holes at the top of the cave, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow on the ground.
Ruan Mianmian walked out of the tent with light steps.
When she reached the center of the cave, her gaze was instantly drawn to it.
A small, adorable gray wolf cub was seen following closely beside Rou.
At this moment, Rou and Hui were talking in hushed tones, their expressions focused and serious, as if they were discussing something very important.
Hui listened attentively, nodding occasionally to show her agreement with what Rou said.
The little gray wolf cub looked somewhat timid, perhaps because it was newly born and still filled with fear of the unfamiliar environment around it.
He nestled close to Rou's legs, his body trembling slightly, not daring to move even slightly.
Not far away, Black and some other small beastmen who had not yet transformed into human form curiously gathered around the little gray wolf.
They would occasionally reach out their paws to try and touch the little gray wolf, but the little gray wolf would only dodge away in fear, showing no intention of playing with them.
Just then, everyone spotted Ruan Mianmian.
They all consciously stepped aside to make way for Ruan Mianmian.
Hui stepped forward first, smiling as she greeted Ruan Mianmian: "Chief, you've come at just the right time! Rou's little cub has been born, a male gray wolf cub. Rou was just about to ask you for help in naming him." As she spoke, Hui pointed to the little gray wolf nestled beside Rou's legs.
Ruan Mianmian suddenly realized that what Rouhe Hui had been discussing was the issue of naming the little gray wolf.
In the past, Elder Hui personally named all the newborn orc cubs in the wolf tribe, so Rou naturally sought out Hui this time as well.
But when Hui saw the leader arrive, she immediately entrusted this important task to her.
Ruan Mianmian squatted down and carefully examined the little gray wolf cub.
His eyes were like two crystal-clear black gems, and his gray fur was soft and fluffy.
After thinking for a moment, Ruan Mianmian said, "Let's name him Xing (Star). We hope that he will grow up strong and healthy in our tribe, just like the stars that twinkle in the night sky, and become a brave and strong orc."
Everyone nodded in agreement, saying that the name was very good.
Rou gently picked up the little gray wolf cub and softly called "Xing". The little gray wolf Xing seemed to understand and its ears twitched slightly.
At this moment, Zhi, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "Chief, according to our tribe's tradition, Xing must receive a blessing ceremony."
Ruan Mianmian smiled slightly, "Then let's get ready. This is an important moment for Xing to start a new life."
So everyone got busy preparing for the upcoming blessing ceremony, and the small cave was filled with a warm and expectant atmosphere.
A huge bonfire was lit in the center of the cave. Rou stood in the middle, holding Xiaoxing in her arms, her eyes full of love and expectation.
Zhi took out a necklace of smoothly polished animal teeth, a sacred object passed down in the tribe and used specifically for blessing ceremonies.
He solemnly walked up to Rou and hung the necklace around Xiaoxing's neck.
Then, several elders from the tribe (including Hui and Ya, an elder from the elephant tribe) sat in a circle, chanting ancient prayer incantations.
As the incantation rang out, a faint halo seemed to emanate from Xiaoxing's body, as if he had received the favor of the Beast God.
Ruan Mianmian felt gratified as she watched this scene.
When Rou stood in front of her holding Xing, Ruan Mianmian raised her hand and placed it on Xing's head, saying, "Grow up strong and healthy."
The ceremony was basically over.
When the blessing ceremony ended, everyone cheered.
Rou was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She hugged Xiaoxing tightly and whispered her hopes for his future.
Then, everyone began to share the celebratory food, and laughter echoed throughout the cave.
Little Star looked around curiously, his bright eyes reflecting the happy faces of his people. It was as if he could already feel the deep love he felt, and that this newborn life would thrive under the care of the tribe.
