Si Yan couldn't sleep because of a few words Dong Chi murmured.
She didn't sleep well. She tossed and turned for a long time, and had a lot of messy dreams.
When Si Yan woke up, she had a headache and rubbed her head.
She keenly sensed that the group of big cats in Black Tiger City didn't trust her as much as they seemed. Previously, they had Hu Que watching over her, but now it wasn't Hu Que anymore; it was Hu Li.
Hu Li was a burly and robust beastman, even more muscular and reckless than Hu Que.
The way Hu Li looked at her was as if he wanted to stare her down, to stare a hole through her.
To be honest, she didn't have much of a problem with Huli.
Big Cat is naturally proud and innocent, and on top of that, she's a burly, fierce beastman. It's understandable that Tiger Force would have some reservations about her sudden arrival.
Moreover, his outburst yesterday actually helped her integrate into Black Tiger City more quickly.
She just didn't understand why he was staring at her like that today, like he was spying on them.
She rubbed her temples and felt Mengmeng's gaze on her. She looked down.
Inside the cave, several little cubs raised their tender little faces and looked at her with adorable expressions, melting her heart early in the morning.
Bei Ji sweetly called her, "Mother."
Si Yan couldn't resist reaching out and touching Bei Ji's little face.
Xi Qing stepped forward, "Mother."
Si Yan couldn't help but pat Xi Qing's head.
Seeing this, Dong Chi subtly moved closer, which surprised Si Yan, who then patted Dong Chi's head.
The three little ones, secretly vying for favor, stared at Si Yan with their bright, big eyes.
Si Yan squinted her eyes with amusement.
Waking up to see three such adorable little ones completely dispelled any nervousness or bad feelings.
She's so happy!
Amidst her joy, Si Yan pondered.
Their goal was to seek refuge at Dark Sun Lake. Before that, they needed Black Tiger City. Black Tiger City had military strength, she had ideas, and they needed her.
When the scorching sun arrives, great calamity will follow. If they are too weak and incompetent, the tigers will soon abandon them, just like the Yanxiang tribe.
If I can further prove my abilities, I believe I will be able to win Black Tiger City's trust.

In Black Tiger City, Hu Yong was the one least willing to waste Si Yan's calculation abilities.
He arrived early in the morning, excitedly and enthusiastically pulling Si Yan onto the white tiger, and taking her on a tour of the entire Black Tiger City.
Although Black Tiger City is already a city, it lacks planning and is somewhat chaotic.
However, Si Yan didn't want to help them plan. After all, her knowledge wasn't something easily given.
Finally, Hu Yong posed a question: if they had obtained 100 prey animals, how should they distribute them among 500 orcs?
After calculating, he concluded that either there were orcs who couldn't get the meat, or there was an excess of it.
This is a simple division problem that also involves a decimal point.
The number of prey (0.2) is beyond the comprehension of the Black Tiger Orcs.
Si Yan told him to divide each prey into five parts so that each orc would get a piece of the prey.
Hu Yong hurriedly went to distribute the grain. Finally, Hu Yong returned excitedly and told Si Yan that it had indeed been distributed completely, just enough, with not a single grain left.
Si Yan frowned. One hundred prey, each varying in size and weight, made this method of distribution unfair.
If you want to divide it completely equally, you have to use a scale to weigh it out in pounds and ounces, and then divide it equally.
However, this world has neither scales nor weights. These orcs don't seem to care about more or less.
These are things for the future.
Just as Hu Yong had solved one of his biggest problems and was even more excited as he took Si Yan for a stroll in Black Tiger City.
A huge opportunity for Si Yan to shine has arrived.
"Lord Huyong!!"
A tiger-orc rushed over and knelt down, panting, "Lord Tiger Yong, it's urgent... The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and locusts are invading from the north. They'll soon be attacking our Black Tiger City!!!"
"Locusts?! How much longer?!" Hu Yong asked anxiously.
"About seven days!!"
The weather was already getting hotter and hotter, and the heat gave the locusts the opportunity to reproduce, which only made the disaster worse.
Hu Yong paced anxiously, then thought of Si Yan and turned to her, saying, "The locusts will devour all our stored supplies, as well as our females and offspring. Every locust plague kills many females and offspring. What should we do? Teacher, what should we do?"
"Dead people?" Si Yan looked at the caves with their doors wide open, completely unable to withstand the locusts' attack.
She roughly understood. A cave without a door allows pests to enter freely, making it impossible to defend against attacks.
“Seven days is enough,” Si Yan said. “Could you introduce me to the city lord?”
"Go, hurry up and go."
Mingyan clearly already knew about the locusts; he was waiting for Siyan when she arrived.
Mingyan of Black Tiger City held a prestigious position, and he sat majestically in his seat, inspiring awe in all who beheld him.
Last time, Si Yan only glanced at him briefly because of her fear of the powerful.
This time, she mustered up her courage and looked him over a few more times.
Two slanted scars ran down his face, making him look terrifying and ferocious. In the animal kingdom, he would certainly be called an ugly male.
However, Si Yan, who possesses modern aesthetics, clearly has a more diverse aesthetic sense.
The man before me was noble and domineering, with perfectly proportioned features beneath the scars, which added a rare touch of masculinity to his appearance.
He has a different kind of strong, mature, and handsome look.
"Do you have a solution?" The male's gaze pressed down on them.
