"Haven't you heard the saying 'You can never be too careful'? In short, I don't want any females from the Eagle King Clan to take care of my child! This is my baby, whom I've raised with great difficulty. Why should I entrust it to females who can't even have babies!"
No matter what Mu Shan says, Jin Ying doesn't trust a female's jealousy.
Other bird species certainly wouldn't dare to be jealous.
But the females of the Eagle King Clan are another story.
After all, she had just arrived and immediately won over the most powerful man in the entire Eagle King Clan. There must have been females secretly itching with jealousy.
The person we need to be most careful of is Mu Shan's ex-wife. She's been a good wife for so many years but hasn't given Mu Shan a single child.
Such a woman must have had her mind twisted by jealousy long ago, which is the most terrifying.
In short, after Jin Ying repeatedly gave her instructions, Mu Shan could only nod in agreement.
"Alright, you can go now. I need to rest. Also, I didn't get enough cherries from Tianshan last time, so have someone go pick some more."
"Okay, I'll pick them for you myself."
“You’re a father now, you have so many things to do, I won’t allow you to go. Mu Feng is idle all day long, anyway, he has nothing to do, let him go.”
Mu Shan nodded haphazardly, then turned and left because he had other things to attend to.
As for the female bird-kin, they didn't dare take on the task of incubating the Eagle King's cubs.
Everyone knows that the Eagle King's eggs are the hardest to hatch. You have to stay by their side for three whole months without moving, and if three or four out of ten eggs hatch after three months, you're considered lucky.
If they don't even have three or four, they'll be in big trouble.
"Why don't we send them to the brooding center? Master Jin's brooding skills are the best!"
"This matter must be reported to the leader; we cannot act on our own."
So they asked Mu Shan for his opinion and took him to the breeding ground that Jin Shu had set up for the bird clan.
Mu Shan, who was initially a little worried, felt relieved after seeing the lively and cheerful atmosphere in the brooding area and hearing firsthand from the females about Jin Shu's responsibility and excellence. He then placed the egg in the brooding area.
Because the eggs of the Eagle King Clan are different from those of other bird clans, Mu Shan specifically went to find Jin Shu.
"I've heard you're very good at hatching bird eggs, so I'll leave my children to you."
"No trouble at all. The chief has been so generous to me, it's nothing for me to take care of your child. Don't worry."
"Just tell me what you need, and I'll send someone to prepare it."
"There's nothing needed. Just put them with the other bird cubs. However, your Eagle King's cubs are quite domineering. To ensure the other cubs grow up happily, I suggest expanding the brooding area, but that would require more manpower."
Upon hearing this, Mu Shan burst into laughter.
"I knew you wouldn't let yourself be taken advantage of. Don't worry, I'm entrusting Mu Feng to you. Whatever you need, just give him orders and he'll do it for you!"
"I feel relieved to hear the leader's words."
For this reason, Jin Shu specially brought A Qi over from the cat tribe.
Because Ah Qi's prototype is a deer, and the Eagle King Clan's main food source is also deer, Ah Qi has a natural fear and aversion to this place.
But as time went by, Jin Shu's two cubs grew up and clung to A Qi's legs every day, wanting to find their mother. With no other option, A Qi had to bring all the cubs from the family with her.
This included more than a dozen snakes, an eagle, and two cats.
Jin Shu built a house for them and decorated it according to A Qi's preferences. Suddenly, A Qi was less resistant to the place.
Ten eagle eggs were placed in the expanded brooding area, in a huge tree branch that mimicked a primitive bird's nest. Nothing was laid on top of them; the eggs were simply placed bare on the branch.
Jin Shu controls the temperature in the room every day. There are three basins of warm water under the bird eggs, and A Qi's daily task is to sprinkle water on the eggs.
A month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The first batch of coal from the Jinshu Mine was finally shipped. To celebrate, Mushan held a banquet in the tribe, inviting several large nearby tribes to sit down and eat together.
Eating is just a pretense; doing business is the real goal.
Although the weather has warmed up, coal is still a necessity. While the Eagle King tribe is enjoying hot baths every day, the other tribes can only watch with envy.
So this banquet was actually Jin Shu using the power and venue of the Eagle King Clan to exchange ideas and build relationships with several other giant tribes on the Beast World Continent.
Jin Shu was very generous; upon their first meeting, she presented each tribe with a thousand catties of coal.
After the meal, a leader came up to chat with Jin Shu.
The leader of the Zerg, a true super leader of a giant tribe on the Beast World continent.
Unlike other leaders, he came to talk to Jin Shu about sugar, not coal.
"Name your terms. Provide our tribe with 30,000 catties of sugar every year. What do you want in return?"
What do you have?
Jin Shu's skill in refining sugar and fructose is now in no way inferior to that of coal. As the race on the Beast World continent that is most dependent on sugar, the Zerg leader immediately accepted the invitation to the banquet after hearing that Jin Shu could create a solid sugar with extremely high sugar content and purity.
What do we have?
The leader was silent for a moment, but without him having to think for himself, Jin Shu spoke directly.
“If you provide the bird tribe with plenty of food every year, I will provide you with sugar.”
"that's all?"
"Hmm, are there any other questions?"
"I just feel like the bird race doesn't seem to have much to do with you."
The bird race is ruled by the Eagle Kings. The Eagle Kings had previously tried to cooperate with the insect race, but the insect race rejected all their offers because they were not sufficient.
Now Jin Shu has what the Zerg need most, and no matter what reason she gives, the leader will seriously consider it.
"You don't need to worry about that. As long as you agree, we can sign the contract now and swear an oath to the Beast God."
"good!"
The Zerg have no shortage of food, which is the bird race's food.
Whether they are vegetarians or carnivores, the Zerg can provide for them.
Insects are the most numerous creatures on earth. If the bird race can cooperate with the insect race, it will surely be able to develop rapidly.
Regardless, Jin Shu has done Mu Shan a great favor this time.
The area where he spends the most energy each year is the food of the bird clan, since they are not like the Eagle King clan, who have the sharpest claws and beaks and are at the top of the food chain.
When the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, the bird tribe launched several uprisings because they were dissatisfied with Mu Shan's rule due to insufficient food.
For this reason, Mu Shan tried to contact the leader of the Zerg multiple times, but ultimately failed to even get a meeting with him. (End of Chapter)
