It's too high, really too high. It's simply not suitable for a small animal like her who lives in the mountains all year round.

Jin Shu's face was pale, and her brows were slightly furrowed.

Mu Feng saw it, and as if remembering something, he threw something directly into her hand.

"Eating it will make you feel better."

Jin Shu looked at the lump of black mud in her arms, and without hesitation, she first broke off a small piece and stuffed it into the little mouse's mouth, and then threw the rest into her own mouth.

At first, she was eating mud, and because it didn't taste good, Jin Shu swallowed it whole.

"You ate it without even asking, aren't you afraid I'll poison you?"

"What's the point of you saying all this nonsense? You brought me all this way just to poison me?"

Jin Shu's indifference made Mu Feng suddenly feel his face burning.

"You female, you're not gentle at all."

"Can gentleness put food on the table?"

"If you were gentler, you wouldn't have to go out and do business with a bunch of men; you could just stay home and eat whatever you want."

Jin Shu glanced at him, and although she didn't say anything, Mu Feng clearly saw a hint of contempt in her eyes.

He had been the pride of heaven since he hatched, but today he was being disliked by this female all the way.

Mu Feng kept a straight face.

"You ungrateful female, I should have never given you any."

After Jin Shu finished eating, she felt the effects and, surprisingly, her altitude sickness symptoms had indeed subsided considerably. It must be a secret recipe left behind by the Eagle King Clan.

"Thanks."

"Forget it. If you really want to thank me, then be more polite to me in the future. Come on, I'll take you to see the clan chief."

The Eagle King Clan, as the absolute overlords of the skies, resides within this vast territory.

However, the actual number of Eagle Kings living here is less than five hundred.

Most of the inhabitants here are other bird-like orcs who have served the Eagle Kings for generations, and in return, the Eagle Kings protect their safety.

Jin Shu had only been here a short while when she saw no fewer than a dozen kinds of birds fly over her head.

As Mu Feng walked towards the mountaintop, many bird-clan beastmen stopped and bowed respectfully to him upon seeing him.

Jin Shu could roughly guess that Mu Feng's identity was not simple, and now it seems that she was right.

"Brother, I've brought the person over to you."

On the massive ancient tree, hundreds of meters high, are built a series of uniquely shaped wooden houses, and on the thickest branch of the ancient tree, the door of a grand-looking four-story wooden house is wide open.

Upon entering, Jin Shu saw Mu Shan, the patriarch of the Eagle King Clan.

As expected, they are brothers. Apart from being a bit older, Mu Shan's face looks almost exactly like Mu Feng's.

Moreover, his age gives Mu Shan an added touch of mature masculine charm and majesty.

He sat on a throne made of tree branches and animal bones, draped in a tiger skin, and wore a crown carved from the bones of some unknown creature.

This outfit instantly made Jin Shu feel the monarchical system that had gradually evolved in the Beast World era.

However, the Eagle King Clan truly deserves the title of "King." They control the skies of the entire Beast World Continent. If it weren't for the constraints of racial reproduction, the entire Beast World Continent would probably have been conquered by them long ago.

This is why the female lead, Jin Ying, was able to control the Eagle King Clan in a short period of time.

The Eagle King's clan needs offspring, and the female protagonist's greatest skill is childbirth.

Jin Shu followed Mu Feng's example and bowed to Mu Shan, then raised her eyes and said.

"I've come here mainly to discuss a long-term business deal with you."

"I've already heard about your situation from your subordinates. Where's your coal? Let me see it."

Jin Shu stood still, and Mu Feng took the coal from her hand, lit it, and handed it to Mu Shan.

After witnessing it with his own eyes, a clear look of amazement flashed in Mu Shan's eyes.

"I thought they were exaggerating, but I didn't expect it to be so amazing."

"Can this piece really burn all night?"

"Well, a single piece can barely last one night, but if you put three or four pieces together, it can keep your room warm all night long."

Mu Shan held the small stove in front of him and stared at it for a long time.

He nodded repeatedly, praising it.

"It really is good stuff, not bad at all. So what kind of business do you want to discuss with me?"

“Give me a hundred ranches, and I will provide the chief with enough coal every year.”

"One hundred dollars, you have quite the appetite."

One hundred dollars is almost half of the ranch under the Eagle King Clan's control. At this moment, Mu Shan's expression was clearly not very good.

Jin Shu showed no fear whatsoever in the face of the Eagle King's anger.

"Chief, what if this coal could ensure the survival of all your offspring?"

Even if the child is born to the female protagonist and has all of its physical abilities enhanced by the system, it is still inevitable that some of them will die young.

Moreover, the Eagle King Clan has an exceptionally high infant mortality rate. It's considered good if four out of ten eggs hatch into chicks, and of those four chicks, only one or two will survive to adulthood.

Because the Eagle Kings are enormous, their offspring require a lot of energy. Even if they have enough food, any other slight mishap can kill the cubs.

In modern times, the Eagle King would likely be listed as a Class I endangered species.

Even in this state, they can still become the overlords of the skies, which shows just how powerful an adult eagle king is.

"Too much, no, I need coal, but I also need pastures."

The ranch is full of meat that the Eagle King Clan needs to consume every year; how can we give half of it to Jin Shu?

Jin Shu lowered her eyes and sighed.

Seeing this, Mu Feng leaned forward and whispered.

"Are you crazy? You need so much? Do you know how big a hundred ranches are? What do you need such a big territory for, you little guy? You'll run yourself ragged!"

Jin Shu rolled her eyes at him, telling him to shut up.

"In that case, let's just forget about it."

After she finished speaking, she turned to leave, but as soon as she turned around, she saw two burly men standing at the door.

Seeing this, Mu Feng pulled Jin Shu to his side and looked at his elder brother with a smile.

“Brother, there’s no need for this. Her personality is indeed a bit difficult to get along with. Let’s have a good talk. We need coal, and they need territory. If we need each other, there’s no need to make a big fuss.”

Mu Shan stared at Mu Feng for a moment, a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

"Little cat, your request is too much. I am not a cruel and ruthless leader. I will give you another chance to talk to me."

"Fifty yuan."

"Too many."

How much do you think you can give?

"Fifteen yuan is my limit."

"Okay, deal." (End of Chapter)
