The little lion was confused. "Master, Uncle, what are you talking about?"

The protector remained silent, but Hua Ansu was fearless: "I want your uncle to become king."

"ah?"

The little lion opened its mouth wide, not understanding why its master had thought of changing the king. But it didn't think its master would be so short-sighted as to feel injustice towards it and dislike its father. So the little lion thought for a moment before speaking, "Master wants to rule the Blood Punishment Forest?"

Hua Ansu said, "...I haven't thought about coming here to dominate."

Why is that?

Hua Ansu said, "Hmm... let's find a more obedient king."

Little Lion: ?

What's the difference? If it's obedient, then it's guessed correctly.

The guardian said, "..." It looks like it will be very obedient?

“That’s not how it is, little lion,” Ah Hu couldn’t stand Hua Ansu teasing the little lion and spoke up directly, “Have you forgotten that the strange beasts here have gone mad? The rest are also in danger. If you want to help them, just like your master wants to help the people of Pi City, you need a qualified leader.”

Clearly, in their eyes, the lion cub's father was unfit; a king who had lost his courage would eventually step down from that position.

Hua Ansu made a direct decision: "You're the one."

Dharma Protector, "..."

Seeing that it was still hesitant, Hua Ansu shook her head. Being too kind is sometimes not a good thing, but there is no better person right now... Beast Selection, "Think about it, if we don't control it, what if the little lion gets mad in the future?"

Is the sixth grader infected with the disease?

The guardian immediately tensed up; none of those maddened beasts would survive.

Ah Hu pouted. Why did his master use such an ominous metaphor to describe the little lion? It would be better to use it to describe Ah Hu's illness!

The little lion also joined in the effort to persuade its uncle to become king, feeling that its master's considerations were perfectly reasonable.

After much persuasion and consideration, the Dharma Protector finally agreed.

Cough, actually, it was Hua Ansu who threatened him: If you don't become king, we'll ignore the Tiger Lion Clan and only take care of the Brown Nether Apes, and then the polarization between your two clans will become more and more obvious—

Dharma Protector, "..."

Hua Ansu entrusted the task of replacing the Tiger-Lion Beast King to Little Lion and Ah Hu, and then left with A Yigu. This time, without the help of the tool beasts Ah Hu and Little Lion to mine, it took the two of them half a day to retrieve the new energy stones from the Dian Dian Deer Cave and the Meng Luo Experimental Base. There were quite a lot of energy stones, and with all the tools available now, this was the fastest they could do.

Just as Hua Ansu was about to return to the Tata tribe, she received a message from Jiang Ziqi.

She was a little surprised, "Yun Ying became the city lord?"

A-Yi-Gu raised an eyebrow, "Yun Ying?"

It wasn't that they looked down on Yunying, but rather that given Yunying's status, he wasn't a nobleman and had no right to be elected as the successor. Every city lord of Picheng had always been chosen from among the nobles.

Of course, Hua Ansu had no objection to Yunying becoming the city lord, but Jiang Ziqi also brought her a message: "Brother Pa has not been in a good mood lately."

The fact that Jiang Ziqi specifically brought it up indicates that there's a big problem here.

A-yi-gu said, "I'll go with you."

Hua Ansu thought that there was no rush regarding the medicine, so he nodded.

Jiang Ziqi never expected that her intention to make Ye Xiujie suffer all night would lead to such a big incident, directly involving Patimi.

...

Patimi had been through so much in his life, and in his heart, everyone in the Overlord Mercenary Group was his family. But when it came to his closest relatives, his father had passed away from illness when he was a teenager, and his mother had remarried soon after.
