“You should know that I want you to stay,” Mingyan said bluntly. “Even if the price is the expulsion of Jieling, I can agree.”

Si Yan suddenly laughed and asked again, "Why? Because I look like her?"

Mingyan's expression turned cold again.

Si Yan suddenly stopped what she was doing and looked up: "Actually, I also know that Jie Ling did not commit any serious mistake that warrants her expulsion."

Mingyan's dark eyes stared at Siyan: "You are more important."

Si Yan laughed disapprovingly, "Unraveling the spirit is more important; she's very fertile."

Mingyan frowned slightly: "She is only ten years old and cannot reproduce yet."

Si Yan paused. "Expelling her is tantamount to sending her to her death."

"No, females are very popular, I can arrange for her to go to another tribe."

Si Yan paused, then looked at Ming Yan with great interest: "But I still won't join Black Tiger City."

"Why?" Mingyan asked, puzzled.

“My reasons during the day were genuine,” Si Yan said. “I prefer to rely on myself rather than depend on others. This world is too dangerous; no one is reliable or trustworthy. I can’t put my life on someone else’s belt. Until I find my own direction, I’ll continue being a wandering beastman.”

She wants to cultivate, and she should be able to, as long as she can find that large purple stone.

Mingyan paused for a moment, then said, "Actually, you have a way to quickly gain strength and influence."

"What method?"

Marry a powerful amethyst orc.

Ming Yan stared into Si Yan's eyes. But Si Yan didn't see him.

He remembered that Si Yan had said she didn't intend to mate with any male in Black Tiger City, which must have included him.

That's right, he's ugly and fierce.

She couldn't possibly like him.

He remembered her snake scales; she already had a purple crystal beast husband.

Although he didn't understand why her beastly husband wasn't there to protect her...

Mingyan paused several times before finally looking directly at her and saying, "Think about it yourself."
