"This is...where did you catch this wild child?"

Early in the morning, just as the sun shone into the warm bed, Su Yuan was awakened by a knock on the door.

Jingzhi came in carrying a dirty little child, whose thick tail dragged on the ground, whose hands and feet were tightly bound, and whose expression was one of utter despair.

"Chief, you slept really well. Cangyuan Town was attacked last night."

"oh......."

Su Yuan stretched. Chi Hu and the others had already gone to work. He didn't even know what they had been busy with lately, as they had already slipped out early in the morning.

He wasn't surprised at all by what Jingzhi said.

It was only a matter of time before Cangyuan Town was attacked. The large amount of trading made it seem as if they possessed inexhaustible resources.

This would inevitably attract the covetous eyes of other tribes sooner or later. Otherwise, why would he have arranged for the Golden Falcon to be in Cangyuan Town, and even specially carved magic arrays on the cement buildings of Cangyuan Town?

It should be noted that these newly developed technologies were only applied to the walls of Moon Pivot City. Even Starsea Town was not yet finished before Cangyuan Town was prioritized for completion.

"You guys are enough. You can come to me so calmly, so you must have finished dealing with it, right?"

After changing their clothes, Su Yuan led the two to the open-air hot spring pool below, hoping that the dirty child's tail wouldn't make their carpets dirty.

"It's done. It was a raider team of over fifty people. Their leader was only a fourth-tier elemental warrior, but this little guy is a bit strange."

"This child?"

Su Yuan glanced at Tail, who looked utterly dejected, his body limp and lifeless, showing no sign of anything amiss.

Her filthy appearance not only revealed her divinely bestowed identity but also obscured her original features.

"This little guy has the strength of a fifth-tier elemental warrior, but he doesn't seem to be one of those raiders."

"It's just fifth tier, that's normal... fifth tier???"

Su Yuan was now fully awake. Looking at the little one, he saw messy black and gray hair, an ordinary figure, and a tiny body. Its tail was almost bigger than a person's.

"You're saying this guy's already at level five?"

This body shape and physique are not quite what a fifth-tier warrior should have. Could it be that all the energy is in this tail?

"Gurgle gurgle..."

A thunderous sound rang out from his little belly. He had never heard such a loud sound before. If his belly hadn't been exposed, he would have thought he had installed a loudspeaker.

"Yeah, I didn't expect it either. This guy and Golden Falcon fought to a standstill. Among those captured, there were only five fourth-tier warriors, all of whom were assigned to mine in Ice Flower Town. They also had a fourth-tier magical beast that escaped..."

Jingzhi reported everything that happened last night to Su Yuan, but she glossed over the part about the unlucky guys who raided the town mayor's courtyard.

However, the hardship and fatigue in his tone seemed to be intentionally letting Su Yuan know that he was working hard late into the night and was going through all sorts of hardships to resist the enemy.

These seemingly random words, which he had picked up from who-knows-where, left Su Yuan completely bewildered.

"Alright, alright, go and rest if you're free. I'll give you a day off... Hey, hey, come back, I haven't finished talking yet!"

"Have Jinluo come help you for a day. She happens to be off today, but you'll have to tell her yourself."

"Then I'll leave this little guy to you. I'll go and have a good 'talk' with Jinluo!"

The little dirty beast girl was handed over to Su Yuan, and Jingzhi immediately left the city lord's building. When she was picked up, she still looked gloomy, as if she had not yet accepted her defeat.

Only when he got closer did he see what the little mouth was murmuring.
