However, the other party had scars on his face and looked to be a middle-aged orc. He was vigorous and energetic, but he always gave people a sense of excessive vitality, as well as a subtle sense of calculation and shrewdness.
This is the first time that Maoduoduo has been able to tell something just from the other person's face.
And then Gal shouted something that really roused CatDodo.
"Bai Na!"
Gal gritted his teeth, as if he were about to transform into his original form at any moment and engage in a fierce battle with his opponent.
The other person smiled slightly, giving off a sense of maturity that comes with age, as well as a subtle sense of threat. "Long time no see, Gal. I never expected that you could build White Tiger City so well."
He whistled and remarked with a rather amusing air.
Gal seemed to be getting angrier and angrier, and was trying to do something, but he was constantly being calmed down by his assistants, who told him that such a thing was not appropriate to do at all.
"Garl!"
Suddenly, Maoduo called out to the other party.
Gal, whose eyes were originally filled with blood, stood up instantly.
"Duoduo?"
Without saying a word, Gal quickly came to CatDodo's side and even went to a nearby place with CatDodo, making no attempt to hide his hesitation.
"Duoduo, he is Baina."
Behind this name lies the identity of the person who killed Gal's father, and also the name of the person who took away his mother.
Even—
CatDodo paused for a moment before saying, "Wait, are they planning to take it from you?"
Gal blinked, seemingly indicating some progress. CatDodo also said bluntly, "Let me think about it. They came here like this, without rashly engaging in a death battle. They must be planning something."
Upon hearing this, Gal thoughtfully replied, "In fact, there was no direct demand for a duel. According to our rules, this means he wants to pledge allegiance..."
The thought of Bai Na entering his White Tiger City made Gal feel utterly disgusted.
CatDodo knew Gal's emotions, but also had to confirm one thing: Baina hadn't forced the other to start a duel, so she had to do something.
The principle of "courtesy first, then force" is a common practice everywhere.
She tried saying, "Bai Na, if that's the case, then you must have something in mind."
"Moreover, he brought a lot of orcs with him this time..."
The mere presence of a dozen or so male beastmen put a lot of pressure on CatDodo.
Indeed, her words made Gal realize something: "More than ten orcs..."
“Yes.” Mao Duoduo made no attempt to hide her fear and apprehension.
However, it was obvious what this meant, and Gal said with absolute certainty, "I understand. This guy wants to observe White Tiger City, or even observe me, to gain some benefit from us."
"...Then let's just leave and get through this?"
Alright, once she knew what the other party might do to Gal, CatDodo couldn't calm herself down completely.
Gal gritted his teeth and said, "I know what to do. Have them live on the outskirts of White Tiger City..."
"No, you can't." Cat Duoduo suddenly realized without thinking.
Gal then said, "I understand. Since they insist on coming, it's not convenient for me to send them away, so I'll try to find out their purpose—"
Suddenly, Maoduo interrupted the other party.
Her eyes gleamed, now with a shrewd glint in them. "What I mean is, we need to make them work so they can get a house in White Tiger City in exchange."
This surprised Gal. You see, many houses in White Tiger City were currently empty, and they didn't seem to care that Bai Na had brought so many orcs.
Even so, the way Maoduo suggested that Baina and the others do the work still excited Gal.
Just imagine, it would be quite amusing to see someone as arrogant and haughty as Bai Na being forced to do the work of a lowly beastman...
"I understand, thank you, Duoduo."
"Keep it up!"
CatDodo was a step behind Gal.
When she returned, she found the atmosphere at the scene to be strangely odd.
Except for the orcs led by Bai Na, all of them had strange smiles on their faces.
Now, Bai Na and Gal are face to face, and it seems they have finished speaking. However, it is obvious that Gal's expression is cold, and he is staring intently at him.
Bai Na smiled and said, "Okay. I agree."
"It's just a simple exchange of work for a place to live. It's that easy. Who wouldn't accept that..."
While it was said to be acceptance, Maoduoduo was actually taken aback by the other party's flexibility and adaptability, so much so that she had to think things through and try to figure out what the other party wanted to do.
It couldn't have been a sudden change of heart!
If it were truly a change, then with so many loyal orc subordinates supporting them, they wouldn't need to fear anyone at all.
All of this was maintained until mealtime.
She heard her cuckoo calling, and only then did she realize that she had forgotten to cook. In a panic, she rushed off to cook.
As a result, what she saw at that time was completely beyond her normal understanding.
At that time, She Rong was just like she always was, carefully cooking meat soup in a stone pot, and constantly sprinkling wild vegetable bits on the side.
Several snake cubs huddled around the fire, their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at the snake demon.
—Father actually dared to get so close to the fire, he really is father.
When Maoduo saw this scene, he suddenly remembered that the snake-people and beastmen were very afraid of fire.
This time, however, Snake Rong actually chose to cook himself, a move that was so unusual that Cat Duo Duo didn't react at all.
"Oh, you've arrived."
She Rong heard Mao Duoduo's voice, turned around and glanced back, his expression calm and natural.
Cat Duoduo realized what was happening and said, "Sorry, I got a little lost in thinking about other things and forgot all about cooking."
"Hmm, it's nothing." She Rong acted casually, handing several bamboo tubes of meat soup to Mao Duoduo.
Cat Duoduo held it carefully, mainly because she was quite surprised by the taste. It seemed that this was the first time she had realized that the Snake Rong could also cook, even after traveling for so long.
"Mommy, eat well."
Snake Three and the others were also all smiles, holding their bowls of hot soup and filled with anticipation.
Mao Duoduo exchanged a glance with them and couldn't help but smile. She took the first sip, and almost instantly, the taste of the soup hit her tongue, causing her consciousness to be violently reversed and confused.
Wait, why does this feeling feel like she's being forcefully dragged by the head and repeatedly slammed against the ground...?
