The battle lasted until noon, and the southeastern tribe was littered with dead beasts. They all had one thing in common: burns.

On a slightly higher ground, the males of the Southeast Tribe huddled together, trembling, and watched Tu Ling slaughtering people alone.

"She's a female? Am I seeing right?"

"Females are so smart and powerful, so what do we males do?"

All the males fell into deep thought and finally came to the conclusion that they were just there to make up the numbers.

The males asked around, wondering which lord this female was, why they had never seen her before, and why she was so powerful?

Tianyi felt a little proud because he was the one who brought Tu Ling back, and only his camp knew Tu Ling's origin.

Lord Tu Ling is so powerful. If he can join her camp, he won’t have to worry about the rest of his life. But Tu Ling is from the Zhongyi tribe. If he wants to join Tu Ling, does he have to leave the Southeast tribe?

But he didn't want to. Maybe he could persuade Tu Ling to stay, but he didn't know how to persuade him. He could only go back and ask his mother.

"Tianyi, where are you going?"

Everyone was chatting animatedly when Tianyi suddenly pushed everyone away and ran home, which made them very surprised.

"Mother!"

Tianyi's mother was surprised to see Tianyi come back suddenly. She hurried to greet him: "Why are you back? Did something happen to your father and the others?"

"No, no." Hearing that his mother had misunderstood, he quickly shook his head and said, "Nothing happened to my father and the others. Nothing happened to anyone in the tribe."

"and you?"

Tianyi calmed down for a moment, recounted Tu Ling's heroic deeds today, and said, "Mother, Lord Tu Ling is the most powerful female I have ever seen!"

His mother's expression was puzzled: "So you want to join Tu Ling's camp?"

Seeing that his mother's face was not right, Tianyi thought that she did not agree with him joining Tuling's camp: "Mom, I really want to, please don't stop me."

"Silly boy, I don't want to stop you, but you can't join her camp at all." His mother sighed, thinking that Tianyi was still too young. Did he think that a strong woman like Tu Ling would be wanted by any male?

"Why? There isn't even a male around her. If a female as powerful as Tu Ling had a male, how could she be allowed to run around outside alone? So Tu Ling must not have a male yet. Then I have a great chance." Tian Yi became a little anxious when he said this. If such a wise person like his mother said that he could not join Tu Ling's camp, then it was probably true that he could not join. Now he was just trying to convince himself.

"You said it yourself, Tu Ling is so powerful, how could she not have a male? That can only mean that Tu Ling doesn't want to find a male at all, or that she simply doesn't like males."

The female took Tian in her arms lovingly and said, "Don't be too sad. You have just reached adulthood. You will eventually meet a female that suits you."

Tianyi was still struggling: "Then mother, can you convince Tuling to stay and not return to the Zhongyi tribe? This way, our tribe can become stronger."

As long as Tu Ling remains in the tribe, he will always have a chance.

"I'll try, but I can't force Tu Ling."

........

Tu Ling relied on his absolute terrifying strength to scare away all the violent beasts.

Only the dead or half-dead beasts were left on the ground. Tu Ling picked up a few of the tender-looking ones and put them into her space, but she could only take a few because her space was full of crystals.

She shouted at the male who was still looking on stupidly, "Don't you want these violent beasts?"

The males looked at each other: "Who is she talking to? Me?"

"You wish, you're obviously following me!"

After Tu Ling finished shouting, he grabbed a white tiger and walked towards Tianyi's cave.

"Skin off this tiger and clean its internal organs."

Tu Ling said to Tian Yi, and Tian Yi was eager for Tu Ling to order him around: "Okay! I'll go now."

Tianyi and several males in the camp followed him out. Those males were also holding violent beasts in their hands, which they picked up from the ground.

Now only Tu Ling and Tian Yi's mother are left in the cave.

"Tu Ling, what are you going to do next?"

Tu Ling was stunned by the question: "What should we do?"

"The Zhongyi Tribe is quite far from here. If you want to go back alone, it will take at least half a month. Have you ever considered staying in the Southeast Tribe?"

Although she said that Tianyi was not worthy of Tuling, she actually hoped to create a chance for Tuling and Tianyi.

Tu Ling thought he was trying to win her over. "No, my males and cubs are in the Zhongyi tribe. They are all waiting for me to return. I will leave after I teach you how to use fire."

The female sighed. It turned out that Tu Ling already had a male and cubs. Although she was puzzled as to why her male left her alone outside, it was not something she could ask too much. She guessed that Tianyi and she were not destined to be together.

Tianyi came back happily with the meat, and a whole tiger skin was draped over his head, with the slippery fat inside having been carefully scraped clean.

Tu Ling cut a piece of meat from the tiger, took the fire, licked a few more dry firewood in it, and stuck the meat on the branches to roast.

After a while, the outer layer of the meat became a little burnt and oil began to seep out.

“It smells so good!”

Tu Ling distributed the roasted meat to several people, continued to roast the next piece, and put it into the space after it was finished.

She turned around and found that several orcs in the camp, including the females, had not touched the meat: "Why don't you eat it?"

Tianyi: "We want to eat with you."

Tu Ling stood up and wiped off the black ashes on his body: "No, I'm leaving."

Hearing that Tu Ling was leaving, Tian Yi first glanced at his mother, then stood up and held Tu Ling's hand: "Do you really have to go?"

Seeing him out of line, the female immediately scolded him, "Tianyi, let go! Tuling has her own males and cubs in the Zhongyi tribe. There's no way they'll stay."

"Then I'll go with you!" Tianyi burst into tears. He didn't want to miss such a good female master.

Tu Ling didn't quite understand Tianyi's desperate attitude after only knowing her for one day. She thought that Tianyi didn't like her, but simply admired her strength.

She pushed Tianyi's hand away: "I'm leaving, take care of yourselves."

After running and traveling through space on the Tuling Road, she finally returned to the shore. Although the distance was a bit far, she made marks along the edge.

"Lan Jiao!"

Lan Jiao sank into the water with an empty stomach all night, and he wanted to die every second he was away from Tu Ling.

Even though he saw prey in the distance, he didn't dare to move, for fear that Tu Ling would suddenly come back and not find him. When he heard Tu Ling's voice, he immediately floated up from the bottom of the water, clung to the shore, and looked eagerly in the direction Tu Ling left.

When he saw that it was really Tu Ling who came back, he became angry again. He turned around proudly and sat back in the water, sticking the tip of his tail out of the water and flapping it up and down rhythmically.
