Si Yan smiled, his youthful spirit shining through: "I have a way, but I also have conditions."
The male, with a ferocious expression, clearly displeased upon hearing the word "conditions," and the atmosphere tensed. "Trying to negotiate with me?"
Si Yan smiled and added, "It's not a very difficult condition."
The tall, male cat stared silently into her eyes, its cold, ruthless lips parting slightly: "Speak."
Knowing she was about to face it, and having dealt with life-or-death battles before, Si Yan still felt nervous in the face of this burly, imposing, and fierce male.
This is the oppressive force unique to domineering males.
Si Yan calmed her racing heart and said, "The first condition is what I said before: bring us safely to Dark Sun Lake."
The male's large hand touched the stone handrail: "Okay."
Seeing that he agreed, Si Yan then added, "The second condition is that we must not be monitored."
"Surveillance?" The old orc Hu Yong, standing to the side, was a little confused and quickly explained, "Oh, you mean Hu Li? I'm asking him to protect you. You defeated him yesterday, and he likes you a lot. He volunteered to protect you and your cubs."
Feelings of attraction?
Could those eyes that seem to want to stare her to death be a sign of affection?
Si Yan didn't respond, staring intently at Ming Yan.
"Anything else?" a strong, magnetic male voice asked.
Si Yan felt suffocated by the pressure and shook her head: "No more."
Mingyan's eyes were dark and deep, as immersive as the universe. He stared at her: "I can agree to your request."
He stood up, and the handsome, robust, and powerful man slowly walked to her side, turning his head slightly so that his handsome and masculine face was turned towards Si Yan.
Si Yan felt an even stronger sense of pressure.
Tell me your solution.
Overcoming the oppressive aura of the male, Si Yan asked, "How did you deal with insect plagues in the past?"
Mingyan glanced at her and said coldly, "Use your body to block the cave."
Si Yan asked in confusion, "I noticed before that none of your caves have doors. Why don't you build doors?"
"A door?" Mingyan asked. "What is a door?"
Si Yan was slightly surprised, then she picked up a twig and drew on the ground: "A door is like this. We can do it like this, put a bolt here, and a bearing here, and we can make a door. The door can keep locusts out of the cave."
"Wooden doors are usually more practical. But I recommend using stone doors. Stone doors are more durable. Remember to leave ventilation holes so they can breathe."
The male black cat pondered for a moment and then nodded.
After explaining the door clearly, Si Yan straightened up and said with a smile, "Making the door is the first step, there's a second step. Catching birds."
"Birds?" Hu Yong exclaimed in surprise. This was clearly something he hadn't considered. "Why catch birds?"
As Si Yan casually drew, she explained, "Birds feed on insects. We can catch more Gugu Beasts, Gaga Beasts, and various birds in the forest, lock them up, and starve them for a few days, but don't let them die. When the locusts come, let them eat the locusts."
Si Yan poked the bird with a stick: "That's how the food chain works."
"Food chain?" Hu Yong pondered Si Yan's words, always feeling that Si Yan was either silent or astonishing when she spoke.
These are all very high-end items.
Food chains, birds, and doors...
Mingyan was not a foolish male. On the contrary, after leaving White Tiger City, he expanded his territory and attracted many orcs to follow him.
Mingyan is an intelligent and thoughtful male.
The male quickly grasped the series of plans Si Yan had outlined, and after understanding them, he was slightly shocked.
Afterwards, Mingyan glanced at Siyan a few more times.
The small, thin male cub, whose race of beastman was unidentifiable, was physically weak but could come up with ideas that ordinary people could not.
That's interesting.
Si Yan continued thoughtfully, "There's a third step..."
The third step was to use fire.
But then she remembered the tribe's reaction after she showed that she could use fire in Yanxiang.
Orcs fear fire, orcs revere fire.
If the orcs of Black Tiger City found out she was planning to use fire, it probably wouldn't be a good thing.
However, the first and second steps are enough. It is not safe to use fire near the forest, as burning locusts could set the entire forest ablaze.
"No, there is no third step," Si Yan changed her mind.
The male's probing gaze was fixed on Si Yan.
Si Yan felt a little intimidated by that gaze.
However, at that moment, a commotion broke the stalemate.
The young tiger-beastman Hu Que arrived in a great hurry, accompanied by a snow-white female fox-beastman.
And in that one glance, just that one glance. Si Yan didn't understand why, but just looking at this snow-white little fox female beastman who looked no more than ten years old, she naturally connected her with a very important character in the original work.
She is the orphan girl who lives in Black Tiger City, and is the female protagonist of the original novel who used Bei Ji to kill him and then took more than a dozen beast husbands... a white fox female, Jie Ling.
