Shen Miao simply started a swimming class, teaching adults first, and then having the adults teach the cubs, so that she could free herself up.

Shen Miao's swimming class also inspired some of the beastmen.

If they can offer swimming classes, then what about hunting, archery, or other jobs?

As a result, after a period of time, all kinds of training classes sprang up in the Beast Realm like mushrooms after rain.

Shen Miao was pleased with this outcome.

Society is always moving forward, isn't it?

One day, An Ran returned home and saw an old female beast standing at her door, peering inside. She didn't recognize the old female beast, so she asked her what she wanted.

The old female beast, her face wrinkled, said tremblingly, "I am a solitary old beastman who is often attacked by strange beasts outside. Could you please take me into the beast realm? Otherwise, I might be killed by strange beasts one day."

Such orcs are not uncommon.

They didn't belong to any tribe and lived a solitary life, so Shen Miao wasn't surprised.

She felt sorry for the old female beast because of her advanced age, and invited her into the courtyard to sit down and talk.

The old orc thanked him profusely and staggered into the courtyard.

A pair of cloudy old eyes quickly swept over Shen Miao's house. The house was built differently from the houses of ordinary beastmen. Instead of a row of rooms, it was divided into a main house, east and west wing rooms, with the three houses surrounding the courtyard in the middle.

The yard was extremely tidy, with trees planted on one side and flowers planted on the other. I didn't know what kind of flowers they were, but as soon as I entered the yard, a rich fragrance of flowers wafted to my nose.

This place is really nice.

An unreadable light flashed in the old female beast's eyes.

At this moment, Jiuying came out of the house, saw the old female beast, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Chen Miao, who is this?"

“This is an elderly woman who said she wants to enter our Beast Domain. I’ll check her situation, and if there are no problems, I’ll give her the beast contract to sign,” Shen Miao replied.

When the old female beast saw Jiuying, she lowered her eyes and stopped looking around.

"Please sit down," Shen Miao gestured to the old female beast.

The two sat down under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, where Shen Miao's family usually ate, complete with tables, chairs, and benches.

The old female beast sat down carefully, saying repeatedly, "It's so nice, it's so nice here."

Shen Miao smiled faintly. She had built this house little by little. In the beginning, this place was just a wasteland. When they didn't have the means, they only built the main house. The side rooms were built later.

“Others in the Beast Realm also have houses like this. As long as you work hard and are willing to work, everyone can live a good life here,” Shen Miao explained to the old female beast.

The old female beast repeated the same thing: "It's so nice, but it's a pity I'm too old. Just give me a thatched hut. If I had been born a few decades later, I could have had a life like this too."

Shen Miao glanced at her gray hair, changed the subject, and asked some routine questions.

The old female beast answered each question. Her story was simple: she used to live in the mountains with her mate, but after her mate passed away, she came down from the mountains. She was out of place with the other tribes and couldn't integrate into their lives. As she got older, she couldn't get any food and didn't want to starve. Just then, she overheard a traveling beastman talking about the Beast Realm.

Hearing that the elderly in the Beast Realm could live well and would not be abandoned, she set off and traveled for a month to reach this place.

Just as she had imagined, it was excellent.

She said that even if the Beast Realm didn't take her in, she would find a place nearby to settle down. She was old and could no longer walk. She just wanted to find a place to spend her last years.

After listening, Shen Miao felt a pang of sympathy.

There is no old-age security here. On the contrary, not only is there no security, but when people get old, they are discarded as a burden. In short, many old orcs are in a very bad situation.

Shen Miao immediately said, "In the Beast Domain, there is no distinction between the old and the young; I want them all. However, food here is distributed according to labor. Beastmen who cannot hunt must work. If you want to stay in the Beast Domain, you will have to earn food through labor. Do you accept that?"

“I accept,” the old female beast hurriedly said. “I’m willing to do anything as long as I can get some food.”

Shen Miao felt a pang of sadness and comforted him, "It won't be too difficult work. The jobs assigned to the elderly are usually easy ones, like cooking at the animal kennel and taking care of the cubs."

The old female said she would definitely work hard.

Jiuying stood by the window of her room, watching this scene silently, her eyes filled with unfathomable emotions.

He saw Shen Miao stand up, apparently having a pleasant conversation, and go inside to get the beast contract. He thought for a moment and then walked out as well.

Just then, the old female beast who had been keeping her head down suddenly stood up, and a cloud of black mist quickly swirled in her hand, striking straight at Shen Miao's back.

"stop!"

With a roar, Jiuying pounced forward.

Seeing that she had been exposed, the old female beast opened her mouth and a bee shot out like an arrow toward Shen Miao, while she turned and ran away.

The Nine-Headed Serpent released a beam of white light, blasting the bees into tiny fragments.

The old female beast couldn't escape the courtyard gate either. Jiu Ying caught up with her and kicked her over, leaving her panting heavily on the ground.

Nine-Headed Serpent stepped forward, showing no respect for its elders, and stomped on the old female beast's chest, coldly saying, "I knew something was wrong with you a long time ago. Did you think you could hide it from me?!"

The old female beast glared at him with hatred, blood gushing from her mouth like water.

Shen Miao also realized what had happened, and a surge of anger at being tricked welled up in her heart. She said to Jiu Ying, "Don't kill her yet. Let's ask her why she did this."

Reluctantly, Jiuying moved her feet away. As soon as the old female beast was free, she immediately got up and shrank back, looking at the two of them as if they were two demons.

"Speak! Who sent you? Why did you attack Shen Miao?" Jiu Ying shouted sternly.

The old female beast clutched her chest, where her ribs had nearly been broken, and remained silent, as if she had suddenly gone deaf.

Shen Miao was about to step forward when Jiu Ying stopped her. The old female beast suddenly looked up, stared fiercely at Shen Miao, and sneered, "I just want to kill you. I don't need any reason. You think you're a savior? Heh, you can save some people, but can you save everyone in this world? You can't. So what makes you think you can establish the Beast Domain? What makes some people live a good life while others still suffer?"

“My establishment of the Beast Domain has no conflict with whether you can live a good life,” Shen Miao said in a deep voice.

"Conflict! If everyone suffered the same hardships, then everyone would be the same. But that's not the case now. You deserve to die. You caused all of this. You should die right now!"

As the old female beast spoke, she suddenly became agitated, her body movements becoming extremely exaggerated, and her emaciated body visibly swelled up!

Shen Miao and Jiu Ying both retreated!
