Chapter 234: Chapter 235: Going to Sleep in the Grassland
Once Yadang was certain it was safe inside the valley, he gave the tribe members permission to move freely.
Having been on edge for many days and journeying non-stop, it was a welcome chance for everyone to finally relax.
Clutching the Mortise and Tenon Atlas, Yan Li quickly strode towards the group of Beastmen.
The number of Beastmen in the group was significantly larger than that of the Winged Tiger Beastman. They didn’t need to make an effort to integrate; they naturally formed their own subgroup. So, when Yadang announced they could move around freely, the Beastmen naturally huddled together.
When Yan Li approached with the atlas, Huang Yuan was holding Flower Mother’s hand, happily surveying the environment inside the valley.
"This place is really great; if we turn the surrounding mountains into caves and live in them, there wouldn’t be any danger. The females and cubs can play around here. It’s brilliant!"
Flower Mother partially removed her Beast Skin cloak, looking somewhat puzzled she said, "Is it just me, or is it warmer here compared to the wilderness?"
Huang Yuan nodded, "Yes, perhaps it won’t be as cold as outside during winter... What a good place! It’s a pity..."
Flower mother turned her head, "A pity for what?"
"That we didn’t discover such a great place before. It’s quite spacious here. The Winged Tiger Beastmen don’t seem unreasonable; we could negotiate with them. If we help them dig caves, they might give us a portion of the area."
Hearing Huang Yuan’s words, Flower Mother widened her eyes in surprise, "Haven’t we already joined the Winged Tiger Tribe? They feed you, they brought you out from the wilderness. How can you think like this?"
There was a tinge of embarrassed redness on Huang Yuan’s face as he stammered an explanation, "This, I didn’t have a choice. Our tribe is large; who knows if the Winged Tiger Tribe will treat us well. It’s better if our tribe controls everything. Don’t rush things—I haven’t said that we are leaving immediately. When all Beastmen have settled down, I will bring this up."
Flower mother chuckled sarcastically and directly debunked Huang Yuan’s lie, "I think you’re not planning to wait until we’re settled. You’re really waiting until you’ve learned the Winged Tiger Tribe’s cultivation methods to awaken the Beastmen."
Huang Yuan was taken aback, he quickly glanced around; fortunately, they were all their own people.
He nervously pulled Flower Mother’s arm and whispered, "What are you talking about? If the Winged Tiger Tribe hears this, wouldn’t they be on guard against us?"
Flower Mother looked displeased. She roughly pulled her arm away from Huang Yuan’s grasp, stared at him defiantly and said, "Huang Yuan! I’m telling you, if you dare mention this again, you will be forbidden from setting foot in the cave—you can sleep on the grassland!"
Huang Yuan was shocked!
The Flower Mother of his memories was not like this!
He still remembered that night after representatives of the Winged Tiger Beastmen left, he and Yan Li had discussed this matter in the cave without avoiding Flower Mother. She had shown no reaction at all, then!
How much time had passed since? Flower mother was now defending the Winged Tiger Beastmen?
Yes, he admitted that the Winged Tiger Beastmen had treated them well, had taken good care of them on this journey. But initially, it was the Winged Tiger Tribe’s tribal chief who said explicitly that if they wanted to leave, there would be no obstacles!
Flower Mother’s reaction now greatly worried Huang Yuan.
"Auntie, what’s wrong? Did uncle upset you again?"
Yan Li approached with a smile, observing Flower Mother’s angry face, he casually asked.
