Ali finally managed to calm Ahua down and led his people out of the territory, when they saw three figures walking towards them from afar.
The sharp-eyed orc immediately exclaimed with delight, "Chieftain, look, isn't that Abao and Abei!"
Ali rubbed his eyes hard, thinking he must have been so angry with the two little brats that he was seeing things, otherwise why would he see the two little brats walking with Xia Qingqing?
"Dad, we're here!" Abe turned his head and saw a dozen orcs standing not far away with bows and arrows. He waved excitedly at his father.
Ali strode forward and stopped about two meters away from Xia Qingqing, stammering, "You... Qingqing, what are you doing here?"
"Ali, long time no see," Xia Qingqing waved to Ali with a bright smile.
Abao stared wide-eyed and tugged at his father's arm: "Dad, is Auntie the goddess you told us about? We were just saved by the goddess, otherwise we would have been captured by the beastmen of the Mad Lion Clan."
As soon as he finished speaking, Abao suddenly realized what he had said and slapped his mouth in annoyance.
Abe looked at her brother with a reproachful gaze. Didn't we agree not to tell Dad about this? Her brother is so unreliable.
Ali's heart jumped when he heard his son's words. If the two little brats were really taken away, they would be subjected to inhuman torture.
Thinking of this, Ali looked at Xia Qingqing with gratitude in his eyes: "Qingqing, thank you so much."
"Chieftain, is this beautiful little female the goddess who has been helping us all along?" A beastman who was nearby overheard their conversation and pointed at Xia Qingqing in shock.
Ali nodded: "That's right, this is the goddess who has been helping us all along. You should all be more respectful to the goddess when you see her in the future."
Upon hearing this, the dozen or so orcs erupted in excitement.
"What?! The goddess is so beautiful, but she's so young, and her skin is as white as snow."
"Yes, all the females in the tribe combined are not as beautiful as the goddess."
"We're so lucky to have met the goddess. Why do you think she's here?"
"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear A Bao say that the goddess saved them? The goddess must have sensed that A Bao and the others were in danger before she descended."
"The goddess is so kind. I want to catch a wild ox to give to her. I heard from the chief that the goddess loves to eat wild oxen the most."
"Take me with you, I want to go with you too."
......
After they finished talking amongst themselves, the dozen or so orcs transformed into their beast forms and left in a swarm, all wanting to capture wild buffalo for the goddess.
Seeing this, Xia Qingqing quickly looked at Ali and said, "Aren't you going to call them back?"
“It’s alright, let them go. You are the most honored guest of our Fierce Tiger Tribe, and you deserve such treatment,” Ali said matter-of-factly.
Hearing this, Xia Qingqing touched her nose somewhat embarrassedly, but didn't say anything more.
Because she understood these orcs roughly; although they seemed easy to talk to, they were also very stubborn. Once they made up their minds, no one could easily persuade them otherwise; they were commonly known as "single-minded".
Suddenly, Abao, who was standing to the side, said, "Dad, let's take the goddess to the tribe. Mom will be very happy to see the goddess."
"Yes, yes, Qingqing, let's go back to the tribe and talk slowly," Ali said with a simple and honest smile, showing no sign that he was now the chief of the Fierce Tiger Tribe.
A year ago, Kun officially announced his abdication, passing the position of chieftain of the Fierce Tiger Tribe to Ali.
This is actually not in line with the succession tradition of the Tiger Tribe chieftain. In the past, when the previous chieftain stepped down, the warriors of the tribe would fight a duel, and only the strongest and smartest orc could become the chieftain.
However, everyone has witnessed Ali's contributions to the tribe over the years, and everyone supports Ali's succession as the tribe chief.
Inside the cave, Ahua was worried about her two children, her eyes almost swollen from crying. Several females surrounded her.
One of the older females advised, "Ahua, stop crying. The chieftain will definitely bring the two children back."
“But I’m so worried. What if something happens to the two children? They’re so young…” Ahua’s voice choked with emotion, and her words were tinged with sadness.
The others looked at each other, and there was some truth to what they said.
Everyone knows how dangerous the world outside the territory is. Females like them would probably not survive more than three days outside if they left the territory.
Although Abao and Abe are beastmen, they are still too young. Just encountering a herd of bison is enough to give them trouble, not to mention the countless mammoths, cave bears, giant lizards, and other wild beasts outside.
Even the adult orcs in the tribe usually go out in groups, for fear of encountering unknown dangers.
The older female sighed: "That's why you can't spoil the little brats. Look at them, they've been spoiled rotten. When you find them, you must give them a good beating with this thorny branch."
"Yes, I understand," Ahua nodded vigorously, this time she would not be soft-hearted again.
Suddenly, Ahua's ears twitched, as if she heard Abao's voice. Without caring whether she was hallucinating, she quickly stood up from the stone bench: "I heard Abao's voice, they must be back."
"I think I heard that too. Quick, let's go take a look together."
As soon as they came out of the cave, they saw Ali returning with two cubs. Of course, what was even more eye-catching was the white, glowing female standing next to Ali.
Ahua stood there, stunned, not daring to go forward. She saw Ali smiling and talking to the unfamiliar female, his expression extremely gentle. She had never seen Ali so gentle to any female other than herself.
Her two children were also chattering around the beautiful female, as if they were the family.
The females who came out with Ahua naturally saw this scene as well: "Ah, why did the chief bring back a little female we've never seen before! Did he snatch her back?"
Although the orc tribes generally practice monogamy, powerful orcs can have multiple females, as long as they can afford to support them.
A beautiful and popular female can also find multiple orcs, provided that these orcs are willing to coexist harmoniously.
"Don't talk nonsense. The chieftain's favorite female is Ahua. That little female was definitely not brought back by the chieftain."
Just then, Ali saw his wife and waved to her with a smile: "Ahua, come here."
Ahua nervously clenched her fingers because of her suspicions, and angrily turned her face away, refusing to talk to Ali.
Ali could tell at a glance that his female was angry, and he immediately ran over to her: "Ahua, what's wrong?"
