The orc, who had dedicated most of his life to his father Gal's father, now had tears in his eyes. "This is wonderful. Gal can now inherit your father's position."
"With such a powerful witch doctor by your side, more and more orcs will come to join you, and there is hope for the restoration of White Tiger City."
Gal instinctively wanted to refuse, his mind filled with memories of his time living with the cat, Duoduo.
But when he met Senjie's expectant, nervous, and uneasy eyes, he found himself completely unable to utter an apology...
"You all should get some rest."
"Yes, young city lord."
As Gal left, Senja subconsciously raised his hand to wipe away his tears.
The other orcs whispered among themselves, their words revealing a sense of relief that his injuries were under control, a relief at escaping the threat of death, and a glimmer of hope for the future.
CatDodo is exhausted; this is the first time she's encountered so many things.
Especially when she woke up and found the snake cubs lying on top of her again, making it hard for her to breathe, she wanted to pinch the little devils with their rosy cheeks as they slept.
"It's a good thing I'm your mother, otherwise you would definitely be bullied."
While Maoduo verbally complained, she gently placed the cubs down. They slept on makeshift "beds" made of straw and other materials, which were passable when they were extremely tired, but once she recovered, she found everything about them disagreeable.
It couldn't retain heat, couldn't dehumidify, and wasn't as soft and comfortable as a later Simmons mattress...
Cat Duoduo was internally complaining, but her movements were extremely gentle, carefully avoiding disturbing the snake cubs today.
She had originally planned to do something early in the morning to let everyone rest and recharge. Whether it was their group or Senjie and his group of elderly, weak, sick, or disabled people, they all needed to be well taken care of.
Unexpectedly, as soon as CatDodo reached the cave entrance, he found Gal sitting motionless on a rock. The fire next to him had gone out sometime earlier and was completely cold.
Early in the morning, the dew had not yet dried and there was still a chill in the air, but it did not make Gal feel uncomfortable in the slightest.
Cat Duoduo noticed the person's expression and asked curiously, "What are you thinking about?"
"It's you." Gal almost exploded, but the voice of the cat instantly brought him back to his senses.
He looked at Mao Duoduo deeply, tugged at his lips, and revealed a bitter smile. "Yesterday, Senjie advised me to go back and take on the responsibilities of the White Tiger Clan."
Mao Duoduo didn't interrupt easily; instead, she waited patiently for the other person to continue.
Gal had a lot to say. For example, his goal since childhood had been to become a brave orc like his father and protect the safety of the city.
His dream was that his father would be killed, his mother shot, and the new city lord, Bai Na, who succeeded him with malice, would issue a kill order against him...
It's fair to say that if it weren't for CatDodo saving him back then, Gal would probably have had to go to the underworld to apologize to his father.
He was a loser from beginning to end. Not only did he lack the strength to rival Baina, but he could only watch helplessly as the humiliation continued to mount...
"And then?" CatDodo suddenly spoke, attempting to analyze, "Do you still care about the White Tiger clan?"
Her eyes were bright, and every move she made deeply touched Gal's heart.
Gal moved his lips, wanting to say no, but he couldn't utter a word.
CatDodo saw through the other's thoughts and smiled, "Gal, I've always believed that a person can become strong because they dare to face and bear their own fears and weaknesses."
"These setbacks will only be temporary; we will inevitably become even stronger in the future..."
When it comes to toxic motivational quotes, how many people are more adept at them than Maoduoduo, a modern-day figure?
This time, however, she genuinely hoped that Gal would realize what she cared about. The onlooker sees more of the game than the player. She didn't want Gal to regret it.
"...You mean, I'm actually still reluctant to part with them?" Gal was taken aback, looking at his hands in disbelief.
CatDodo spread her hands, completely shrugged, and said righteously, "I didn't say that. From beginning to end, it's all your own idea."
The last few words were emphasized, which is enough to show that this was all the other party's choice.
Gal fell silent, actually deep in thought. CatDodo didn't disturb him, simply smiling and waiting for it to end.
Soon, as the morning light followed the rising sun and shone upon Gal, CatDodo felt as if he were witnessing the birth of a new king.
