Shen Miao also asked the snow wolf to watch over the cubs and prevent them from running around.

Snow Wolf chuckled and agreed, then said to the cubs with ill intent, "You're all so young, and you're already thinking about fighting skeleton soldiers? Believe me, when the time comes, a skeleton soldier can easily throw you all away with one hand."

"Snow Wolf, you're not allowed to say that about us!" the little cubs huffed angrily.

The snow wolf didn't take it seriously. "You're just little cubs anyway, don't deny it. You can't even beat me, yet you want to fight skeleton soldiers? Wait a few more years."

The cubs, unable to contain their anger, swarmed over the snow wolf, pinning it down and stroking it all over.

The snow wolf was ticklish and laughed until it was breathless.

The four cubs and the wolf were in complete chaos.

"Shen Miao, your house is always so lively."

A cat-beastman's cheerful voice rang out from outside the door. The little ones greeted him. No matter how willful they were at home, the little ones were still very polite to outsiders.

This brings us to the profound and subtle aspects of education.

She loves her children, but she doesn't spoil them unconditionally. Instead, she creates a healthy and stable environment and accompanies them as they grow up.

To outsiders, these little ones are different from the other little ones in the tribe; they seem more sensible and intelligent.

Shen Miao came out of the house, welcomed the cat-beastman inside, and asked, "Brother Cat, what do you want to see me about?"

"Hua Min, the leader of the Ice Crystal Tribe next door, came to me and said she wants to join forces with us to resist the skeleton soldiers. What do you think?" The cat beastman stated his purpose directly.

Shen Miao thought for a moment. The Ice Ling tribe was to their south, about the same size as their tribe. They had already been harassed by skeleton soldiers, and the tribe had lost several orcs.

Before coming to their tribe, Hua Min had also tried other tribes, but those tribes were so terrified that they had no will to resist. Left with no other choice, Hua Min had to come here.

"How does she plan to cooperate?" Shen Miao asked.

The cat-beastman shook his head. "It hasn't been said yet. This is something we can discuss. She's still at my house. Why don't you call Qingchen Jiuying and the others to come to my place together?"

Shen Miao agreed.

The three went to the cat beast's house and met Hua Min, the leader of the Ice Ling tribe. She was a female beast, but she was very tall. If you didn't know that she was a female beast, you might mistake her for a male beast.

After getting to know each other, they discussed the possibility of collaboration.

Hua Min spoke first, "I know it's abrupt for me to make this request, but there's no other way right now. We're all being harassed by the skeleton soldiers, so we have to unite. I can guarantee that if the skeleton soldiers attack your tribe one day, I will organize all the orcs in the village to help. I also hope that you can help us when the Ice Ling tribe is attacked."

Shen Miao said, "There's no problem with that, I think it's fine."

"That's great!" Hua Min was delighted, but then her smile faded slightly as she asked, "How did you build the city walls outside? Can we build one like that?"

Shen Miao smiled and said, "That depends on what your tribe of orcs thinks."

If you're just lazy, then of course you can't do it. But if everyone is willing, making one is no problem at all, and it can at least hold off the skeletons' attacks.

Hua Min's eyes lit up and she hurriedly said, "Of course we want to build it, but we don't know how. Could you please send two experts over to help us?"

"The master is right here." The cat-beastman looked at Shen Miao and smiled.

Hua Min looked at Shen Miao and asked in surprise, "Did you build all of those city walls?"

Shen Miao chuckled, "Of course I didn't build it. I just suggested an idea, and it was ultimately completed through the combined efforts of all the beastmen in the tribe."

Hua Min looked incredibly envious, staring wide-eyed at Shen Miao.

Shen Miao understood what she meant. Since they were already cooperating, she naturally wouldn't be coy. If the other party did well, she would also have more support.

Thinking of this, Shen Miao said, "I can go and help you build the city wall, but I won't do it for free."

Hua Min was quick to respond, saying, "Of course, of course, we won't let you help us repair it for nothing. We can give you meat and beast crystals."

At times like these, everyone is stockpiling food in preparation for the arrival of the skeleton soldiers, who could come at any moment. Naturally, they can't afford to waste their time on other things.

After discussing some other aspects, the two sides finalized their cooperation agreement.

Shen Miao followed Hua Min to the Bingling tribe to guide them in building city walls, while Qing Chen and Jiu Ying remained in the tribe to train its orcs.

With clear division of labor, everyone was busy.

The orcs of the Ice Crystal Tribe were initially unwilling to build any city walls, but with Hua Min's considerable prestige and her influence, those orcs who had objections eventually compromised.

Because if they don't compromise, Hua Min will just drag them out and beat them up.

To Shen Miao's surprise, Hua Min was actually the most powerful orc in the Ice Ling tribe. When she first saw them start fighting without saying a word, Shen Miao's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

In contrast, their tribe was much more peaceful; at least Shen Miao didn't see anyone directly fighting with the chieftain.

Seemingly noticing Shen Miao's surprise, Hua Min clapped her hands and said, "They won't listen, there's no other way but to use this method."

"Very impressive."

Shen Miao didn't know what else to say besides those three words.

After being beaten up on the first day, the orcs indeed behaved themselves. They did whatever Hua Min told them to do, and the city wall was built quickly, almost completed in a few days.

That day, Shen Miao returned from the Bingling tribe. It was already quite late. She didn't eat at the Bingling tribe and insisted on going home, secretly thinking that there probably wouldn't be any food left when she got back.

If all else fails, she'll just get some food from her spatial storage.

Just as she was thinking this, she arrived at her doorstep. The children had finished eating and were playing at the door. When they saw Chen Miao return, they called out to their mother and came over to greet her.

"Have you eaten yet?" Shen Miao asked.

The children replied, "We've already eaten."

Shen Miao thought to herself, "Sure enough, she'll probably have to eat something from my space today." But the kids' next words were, "After we finish eating, we made food for Mommy. Mommy, come and eat with us!"

The children pulled Shen Miao to the kitchen, where, sure enough, there was still food left in the pot. The meat was stewed until very tender, just like she usually did, and there was also a serving of iced milk on the side.

"You all made this?" Shen Miao was pleasantly surprised.

The children chuckled, "Uncle Jiuying helped too, Mommy, you should try it, is it delicious?"

Shen Miao readily picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of meat, and put it in her mouth. The meat melted in her mouth, and it was stewed to perfection.

Taking a bite of meat and then a sip of ice-cold milk—the taste is simply amazing.

This is such a pleasant surprise!

You know, when Jiuying first arrived, she barely knew how to cut meat; she could only chop it into big chunks. Now, she can cut it quite skillfully and even cook it to perfection. Her progress is truly astounding.
