“Heh——” Leopard Sanwa sucked in a breath of cold air and subconsciously took a step back, fearing that he would be affected.

Have a baby? How dare you say that!

Even though Humian was so clingy back then, no one dared to ask Your Highness to have a cub!

Tu Bai, ah Tu Bai, don’t blame me for not being able to save you!

"Who is this?" Ye Xing asked calmly.

"This is my child, Tu Bai." The old patriarch stood up and answered proactively.

Then, without waiting for Ye Xing to react, he directly scolded Tu Bai: "Get out first!"

"But I like her so much!" Tu Bai clenched his fists and jumped excitedly.

"Get out!" The old patriarch gritted his teeth, his eyes wrinkled with anger.

You little brat! Can't you see that her hands are ready? Talk, talk, talk! Look at her strangling you to death with one hand!

Then he turned to face Ye Xing and said gently: "Don't be angry at the kid for talking nonsense."

Bao Sanwa looked at her expression and reminded her in a low voice: "Your Highness?"

Ye Xing didn't say anything. She wasn't actually angry. She just felt like she saw Hu Mian suddenly and felt a little dazed.

"...It doesn't matter! Now, we can have a good chat!" Her expression returned to normal.

"Okay, you all can go out!" The old patriarch breathed a sigh of relief and waved to his other sons.

"Dad, can I stay with you?" The man who spoke just now was worried.

"No need! Let's go! Let's all go out and work!"

"I won't work! I'll stay with you!" Tu Bai jumped over and said.

"You, get out!" The old patriarch was too embarrassed to look at Ye Xing's face, and signaled with his eyes to the eldest brother to quickly pull him away.

Ye Xing didn't look at Tu Bai again, and even considerately stepped aside a few steps to allow his brothers to drag the little rabbit away.

Tu Bai struggled and shouted, "Ye Xing, let's talk alone later!"

"Don't say anything...are you looking for death?"

"Can't you see the huge hole in the wall?"

"Don't mess with her!"

"But... umm—"

……

The noisy sounds gradually faded away, and it sounded like Tu Bai had been dragged away by his brothers, who covered his mouth with his hands.

The old patriarch's face looked a little ugly, and was reflected red by the brazier.

Ye Xing felt it was a bit funny and told Bao Sanwa to go down as well, as she wanted to talk to the old patriarch alone.

A small farce should not delay major events.

The room finally returned to calm. The old patriarch sighed again, stretched out his arm, and motioned to Ye Xing: "Please sit down!"

Ye Xing did not despise him and sat cross-legged beside the brazier as he was told.

The old patriarch was shocked by her bold posture. He wanted to say something but stopped himself. In the end, he said nothing. He just turned his eyes away and waited for her to sit down before he sat down opposite her again.

Ye Xing saw his expression and movements, and his appreciation for the rabbit tribe increased even more.

"You are the first orc to ask me to sit down and talk."

The old patriarch had a peaceful expression and spoke slowly, "We Rabbits are naturally able to sense dangerous beasts and are also afraid of them. I can sense that you are very powerful."

The perception of danger? Weak races also have the knack of saving their lives!

"But you don't seem that afraid of me!" Ye Xing admitted.

The old patriarch opened his eyes and looked at Ye Xing's face carefully. Like the old mother of the Tiger Tribe, his eyes were full of peace and kindness. "Because you teach people how to build houses."

"I heard from Sanwa and the others that you taught them earth walls, houses, bow and arrow traps...all these things first."

“A person who can find a way to keep more people alive will not harm us.” The old patriarch started talking about morality.

Ye Xing didn't take the bait. She smiled and said bluntly, "My people taught you how to build a house, and you asked them to guard the gate for you. How can that be true?"

“…uh, this…” The old patriarch was speechless and looked very embarrassed.

Ye Xing was not in a hurry. The old man still felt embarrassed, which showed that he still had a conscience.

The old man hesitated for a long time, rubbed his hands and told the truth: "I don't want to lie. It was Tubai's idea to let Baomi and the others live in the valley."

"Oh? Why did he do this?" Ye Xing was a little surprised.

"He said... he said we are too weak and can't stop the beast tide. Bao Mi and his men are very powerful, but they didn't seize our territory. Letting them go to the northern valley is the best option."

"Oh——!" Ye Xing found it a bit interesting. He could tell that Bao Mi and the others were "suckers" as soon as they met. This Tu Bai has a pretty good eye!

Bold and evil-hearted!

Ye Xing's expression was unremarkable, and the old chief hurriedly explained: "I know this is not a good thing to do, but Tu Bai is right. The beast tide will come soon, and we can't resist it at all. The Tiger Tribe has not sent anyone to protect us yet. There is really nothing we can do!"

The old man was so sincere at his age that Ye Xing felt it was difficult to pursue the matter. After all, they didn't suffer any loss and just got a good place for free.

Whatever!

Ye Xing waved her hand to tell the old patriarch that they didn't mind, and after a few more polite words, she casually asked:

"Have you been trading with the Tiger Tribe?"

"It can't be considered a deal. They sent people to protect us, and we grew herbs and made tools for them. Sometimes we even gave them precious shells and stones."

It is indeed not a transaction, it sounds more like "paying tribute".

"How about the people of the Tiger Tribe? Is it enough to help you survive the beast tide?"

"...No, when the beast tide came, the people of the Tiger Tribe took us away from the tribe and waited for the beast tide to pass before letting us come back."

What kind of protection is this? What a joke!

Ye Xing looked at the old patriarch's expression and asked, "Are you willing?"

"...We dare not refuse!" The old chief sighed: "The Rabbit Tribe has no fighting power. We can't defeat anyone because we are too weak. Not to mention the Tiger Tribe, even tribes like the Wandering Goose Tribe are unwilling to take us in!"

Ye Xing understood that a tribe without fighting power would have a hard time surviving on this continent, and no tribe would accept people who wasted food.

And this is exactly her purpose.

Things seemed to be going particularly well.

However, Ye Xing still wanted to know why.

"The first time the clan leader saw me, he told me many truthful words. Why did he trust me so much?"

The old patriarch was silent for a while after hearing this, and looked a little helpless. "This was also Tu Bai's idea."

"It's him again? What's going on?" Ye Xing was really surprised.

"Tu Bai told me that if you can come to the tribe, you must tell the truth, not lie to you, and treat you well!"
