"Mother, when will we be able to find Father?"
"...Well, we'll have to wait."
"Oh, Mother, when will we find that wicked Gal?"
"Yes, we will meet."
That evening, Maoduo waited for the last words to be spoken, but still felt something was off.
The snake cubs also pursed their lips and chose to hug each other, as if coming to Beishan was not a good decision.
CatDodo turned her gaze to the stone house, the right to live there that she had obtained by exchanging the food she brought with her after making up her mind to stay in the tribal city.
At this point, we must be grateful that they prepared a considerable amount of food before setting off; food still has considerable purchasing power in the tribal city. At the very least, with the help of food, CatDodo and his companions can live a relatively easy and comfortable life for the time being.
Other orcs, if there are many of them and the authorities are unwilling to provide them with enough food, will have no choice but to huddle together in a simpler place with the other orcs. But they can sleep in the stone hut, listening to the pattering rain outside, and at least get some relief.
Almost as he coaxed the snake cubs to sleep, Maoduoduo frowned, inevitably becoming concerned.
Why can't we find the Serpent Barbarians?
She and the Serpent King share a mate mark. This mark tells her that her mate exists and continuously sends her certain signals.
It was clear that the Snake Rong people were still alive and not far away.
That's strange. Even though the Serpent Rong is so special, she still can't find him.
If she wanted to find the other person, she should find the city lord of the tribe. The problem was, she couldn't find any opportunity to make contact with him...
"This is really too troublesome." Maoduo patted her forehead, trying to calm down and find a way to get there.
She tried to rest, but the next day, a new wave of males came to court. They were a dazzling array of suitors, and their courtship methods and tactics, full of boundless imagination, not only provided CatDodo with plenty of laughs, but also gave her a new understanding of this tribal city...
"Duoduo, I know you're still hesitant, but I can assure you that once we're together, your child will be mine."
"These flowers were picked from outside the city very early this morning. I'm sure you'll love them."
"I've heard that many female beastmen like this kind of clothing. When we get married, you can try it on to make life more comfortable."
...
After learning that Dodo the cat was a female who had come looking for a mate while carrying kittens, all sorts of males began to try every means to visit her.
Even though the cats and kittens repeatedly indicated that she didn't need them anymore, many males still started trying to gain her favor on their own.
Their logic is simple, and their ideas are quite interesting.
It's just that people think that since Maoduoduo says she doesn't want to find a new person, and the other person is such a weak female, the fact that she would choose to come here means that her partner must have had an accident or abandoned her.
They understand that.
These days, there are always some bad males who deliberately choose to betray their partners to gain better benefits.
In just a few days, Maoduoduo has been forced to become a minor celebrity in this area.
Cat Duoduo sighed, looking at the group of beastmen outside.
The cubs realized what was happening and suggested, "Mother, why don't we just leave?"
"Well," CatDodo squinted slightly, "it would be quite embarrassing to leave just to avoid these guys."
Losing face is one thing, but the important thing is not to make others think that you are afraid.
However, just then, a three-striped bear beast appeared outside. It was burly and carried a blue fox fur.
This blue fox pelt is quite deceptive in appearance, especially since it is quite intact and of superior quality, clearly having been carefully maintained by other orcs.
The other orcs all felt that the Three-Striped Bear Beast was not something to be easily compared to.
Those with a poor mindset subconsciously choose to leave in order to avoid the aggression posed by the bear-like beast.
CatDodo caught a glimpse of this, and its gaze inevitably lingered on the blue fox pelt. Such fine pelts—it's said even the Tribal City has never seen anything like it…
At that moment, the three-striped bear beast knocked on the door.
The three-striped bear beast signifies immense power.
Orcs judge their strength by the patterns on their markings; having three markings is proof of their immense power.
This time, CatDodo opened the door. The bear-like beast had a憨厚 (honest and simple) smile, giving people the feeling of seeing a national treasure from a past life.
Now, he chuckled and offered to give this blue fox fur to Maoduo, saying, "This is mine, I hope you like it."
Maoduoduo did not choose to accept.
In this world, when a female chooses to accept something from a male, it implies that she has accepted his advances. She wouldn't forget that.
After the cubs came up behind her, CatDodo sighed inwardly, stepped forward to thank them, and then asked in a kind voice, "Excuse me, how did you get this piece of animal hide?"
The three-striped bear beast thought it had a chance, and its stammering voice was filled with joy: "I hunted this in the Snowwind Bone area. Only by going there can you get the best animal hides."
The orcs who hadn't completely left behind heard this, gasped, and began whispering among themselves.
"My God, they actually chose Snow Peak Valley, that place is extremely dangerous."
"Only Xiong Er dares to go. Those who dared to venture there last time basically never came back."
...
The sound was a little soft, and Maoduoduo didn't hear it clearly.
She thanked Xiong Er and then politely declined his offer.
She simply doesn't like it, and besides, she does have a partner now, so there's no need for her to cause herself unnecessary trouble because of him.
Xiong Er didn't press the matter further. After he left on his own, the other orcs also dispersed.
Mao Duoduo closed the door and sighed, "I'm going to Snow Peak Valley later, so don't come with me."
Upon closer examination, it is highly likely that the Serpent Rong appeared in Snow Peak Valley.
Blue fox pelts only appear in Snow Peak Valley, and the quality of the pelts is the best. It's likely that the Serpent Rong stayed there in search of the best, and never returned.
After much deliberation, CatDodo decided to go find SnakeRong. Unexpectedly, as soon as she spoke, SnakeOne and the others eagerly raised their hands, clamoring to follow CatDodo.
“No, that won’t work.” CatDodo had many considerations. “You’re still cubs. If you come with me over there and encounter danger, I’m afraid I won’t be able to protect you.”
