When they returned to Black Tiger City that evening, Si Yan was already asleep.

The strongest male in Black Tiger City landed steadily at the entrance of Si Yan's cave.

The three cubs rushed out of the cave and saw their mother sleeping soundly in the strong male's arms.

Dong Chi asked warily, "Lord Mingyan, what's wrong with her?"

"She was tired and fell asleep."

His mother, being female, didn't need to participate in hunting at all.

Forced to hunt by these males, they were all so exhausted that they fell asleep.

Seeing his once lively mother now sleeping motionless in another male's arms, Dong Chi's eyes turned cold. "Thank you, Lord Mingyan, for bringing my elder brother back. Now, please hand her over to me."

Mingyan looked down and examined the three snake-beastman cubs.

Dong Chi was aloof and cold, Xi Qing was serene and quiet, and Bei Ji was the most gentle and most like the female in his arms.

He bent down and handed the female in his arms to them.

Si Yan is not very big; the three babies can catch her.

She was sleeping soundly, probably having a wonderful dream.

Mingyan leaped into the air and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Back in the cave, the male strode to the stone bed, leaned against it, and closed his eyes.

But the scene of teasing her during the day kept replaying in his mind.

Hearing her terrified cries, and feeling her clinging to his arms as she sought his protection.

He scoffed, "Does she think she can get my attention by disguising herself as a male to approach me?"

"Too naive."

Early the next morning, Black Tiger City resumed its hunting season.

Hu Que and a group of tiger beastmen were responsible for guarding the city, while he stayed inside.

Jie Ling wanted to find Si Yan, but in front of Si Yan's cave, she saw Ming Yan take her away early in the morning to catch birds outside the city.

The white fox, pulling on Hu Que's arm, said with longing, "Brother Hu Que, Brother Si Yan is indeed a young hero! Even the city lord likes her very much."

This wasn't the first time Hu Que had heard Jie Ling praise Si Yan, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. He pursed his lips and said, "The city lord has always liked talented young men. Look, hasn't the city lord always liked me too?"

Jie Ling said to Hu Que Wan'er, "Brother Hu Que is very powerful. Jie Ling also likes Brother Hu Que."

Hu Que smiled as he was praised by the adorable little girl.

Never mind, the females in Black Tiger City also have many males.

Even if he hopes to become Jie Ling's male when she grows up, he cannot interfere with her liking other males.

Even so, when he saw her liking other men and praising other men, he couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.

Si Yan left, and Jie Ling's attention suddenly turned to the three little ones in the cave.

She wouldn't have cared about such tiny babies before, but because of Si Yan, she also showed curiosity towards the three babies.

"Brother Huque, aren't those three tiger beastmen?" Jieling asked.

“They are cold-blooded serpent beastmen,” Hu Que replied. Teacher Si Yan didn't know what kind of beastmen they were, but her three younger brothers were cold-blooded serpent beastmen.

He didn't like the cold-blooded snake-beastmen.

Jie Ling blinked and asked curiously, "Is the Cold-Blooded Serpent Beastman the same as that cold-blooded, irritable, cunning, selfish, and vicious beastman?"

Bei Ji, who was not far away, heard Jie Ling's words and turned around angrily.

Jie Ling suddenly met Bei Ji's eyes.

Before long, Jie Ling's eyes lit up.

This little snake-human cub is so cute, adorable, and adorable.

Jie Ling's eyes widened further, and she felt a surge of interest.

If one of her future beastmen husbands were a cold-blooded snake beastman, that would be quite nice.

Despite her young age, she has a small goal in her heart.

She would choose the strongest one from each of the powerful orc races and make them her beast husbands.

She liked the little snake-human in front of her very much and hoped he would grow up healthy and strong.

Xi Qing whispered to Bei Ji, "It's an annoying female white fox. Mother doesn't like her. Let's ignore her."

Bei Ji said in a low voice, "Hmm."

If Mother dislikes female white foxes, then none of them will like female white foxes!

They listen to their mother.

**

Several days passed, and Si Yan felt dizzy and unsteady on her feet.

She has been living in constant fear these past few days.

Sure enough, the Netherflame is exactly the same as described in the novel!

He was ferocious and a terrifying orc!

She can feel terrified just looking at his face now!

She was wrong. The big tiger wasn't a big cat at all. She had raised cats before, and tigers and cats are different!

At this very moment, a group of tall tiger-beastmen had gathered in front of Mingyan's cave, staring at him with great excitement.

Si Yan hid in a corner with her three children, trying to minimize her presence.

Before long, Mingyan began to speak. When Mingyan spoke, all the fierce tiger beastmen in the entire Black Tiger City looked at him with reverence and remained completely silent.

Mingyan spoke, his voice authoritative, deep, and inspiring, "Tiger Beastmen, the locust plague is imminent. We must unite to face this battle! This battle is destined to be ours! Once the locust plague is over, we will head to Dark Sun Lake!"

"City Lord, City Lord, City Lord!"

As Mingyan's imposing gaze swept over them, the tiger-beastman fell silent once more.

"Now, let's assign tasks. Hu Yong, you take a group of men and move the supplies into the cave, then lock the door. Hu Que, you take a group of men and bring the female and cubs into the cave; make sure they are well protected."

"Yes!" "Yes!" The tiger beastmen of Black Tiger City were highly disciplined, and they readily accepted the order.
