In the territory of the Flower Tiger Clan, someone looked outside and was stunned. "What are you doing here?" He couldn't help but frown as he looked at the people from the Lion Clan and Leopard Clan.

"What are we here for? We're not here for anything in particular. We just want to ask your tribe why you've detained our people for no reason. Do you think our Leopard Tribe and Lion Tribe are easy to bully?" The Lion King coldly shouted as he looked into the distance.

He had also benefited from coal mining. This tribe burned a lot of coal every year, which cost too much money. Now, they could continue to use it without spending any money, so the Lion King was naturally happy to take the lead.

Upon hearing this, the Flower Tiger clan members' expressions turned grim. Looking at the densely packed orcs below was like a nightmare; the Flower Tiger clan certainly didn't have that many orcs to fight against those below.

In this situation, all we can do is speak amicably, and in the end, compensation is probably the only way to alleviate our distress.

While at home, Haitang was taking care of the children and also treating the newly arrived slave workers.

When Haitang went to treat those people, many of them were stunned and started lining up. Haitang began to take everyone's pulse, and those who were unwell or uncomfortable would be prescribed medicine directly.

As they looked at the prescription, someone nearby started writing it down and then went to get the medicine. "What are we doing?"

"You've been out there for so long, you've all suffered some physical damage. I'll prescribe some medicine to help you recover," Haitang said. Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

"Why are you treating us like this?" one of the people asked. "We are slaves." Yes, there was nothing they had to do, and they didn't deserve to be treated this way.

"Yes, you are slaves, but you are also workers. We have clear regulations here. As long as you work for three to five years and perform well, you can get rid of your slave status and even choose your own place to live outside," Haitang said. "Many slaves in the tribe have become workers, with their own businesses and wives. As long as you work hard, you can also get those. Of course... what do you think you have that can be sacrificed?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Haitang. "You all probably only have one life left. What are we going to do with this one life? We'll make you work. You might think our Tiger Clan is illogical. Why should we feed you well? Why should we treat you? It's not worth it. But I can tell you it is. Once you're healthy and strong, you'll work even harder and be more loyal to our Tiger Clan. What I want to tell you is that I don't ask you to trust the Tiger Clan right now. I just want everyone to understand that the Tiger Clan will be a very good home."

The Tiger Clan tribe will be a very good home. It doesn't matter if you don't trust them now; you will trust them one day. Upon hearing this, the people not far away fell silent.

Several people took their medicine, and then ate something. Although the food wasn't large chunks of meat, it wasn't bad either.

There was cabbage soup... and bone broth noodles. Everyone sat down and started eating. After they finished eating, they looked at the snowflakes outside and heard the sounds of children playing not far away, which gave them a sense of belonging.

When Haitang and Dongfang Chen returned, Dongfang Chen said, "Mom, those people are so pitiful." Yes, they were pitiful. Everyone looked so thin and frail, as if they could be beaten up.

"Yes, this is the world outside. Little dumpling, if our tribe is not strong, you will end up like those people. So you must work hard to grow up."

Haitang looked at Dongfang Chen and said.

Haitang never hid the fact that she needed to grow up from Dongfang Chen, nor did she keep the dangers outside from him. She made Dongfang Chen understand the pain outside so that he would cherish the present day even more.

The children in the Tiger Tribe now have a lot of hardship to endure, especially the older ones. The younger ones have also suffered, but they don't remember much. As life gets better, they'll forget the hardships, which won't do...

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Chen nodded and said, "Mom, I know. I've heard Grandpa say that." He had heard his grandfather say how bad and cruel the world was since he was a child.

I also know that my grandfather later married a woman who ran away with all the food. My grandfather almost died at that time. The family ate very little food every day and went hungry for several winters before they recovered.

He had been hungry before, just when he forgot to eat a meal and felt extremely hungry. It must have been very painful to be so thin from hunger.

Haitang hugged Dongfang Chen tightly. Dongfang Chen blushed. He had grown up, but he still liked being held by his mother. He reached out and wrapped his arms around Haitang's neck, resting his little head against her body. His mother's scent was very comforting.

Dongfang Chen really liked being close to Haitang. Although he was a beastman and others called him a man, Dongfang Chen felt that he was a man, but he didn't want his mother not to hug him.

Dongfang Chen was carried back, and Dongfang Meng ran over immediately upon seeing this, tugging at Haitang's clothes. Dongfang Meng wasn't as close to Haitang as she was to Dongfang Chen, but seeing her brother being carried today still touched her heart.

The oriental fish, feeling it couldn't be left behind, climbed out of the water tank and ran to Begonia's side. It was wearing very thin clothes, but it didn't feel cold.

Haitang looked at the two children with a hint of helplessness, bent down, and reached out to hug them, saying, "You little rascals." A touch of tenderness welled up in her heart.
