"You and Ahai stay in the tribe and keep an eye on things. We have so much coal now, we can't protect all these treasures on our own."
I went there with the intention of cooperation; they won't hurt me easily.
After all, Jin Shu was certain that she was the only one in the entire Beast World who knew how to refine coal.
With that, she can return safely.
After explaining everything, Jin Shu walked to the lottery box. A small black mouse crawled out of the box and then scurried up Jin Shu's clothes and down the back of her neck.
"Thank you, little one."
"Chirp chirp chirp".
Turning around, Jin Shu met those eagle eyes.
"Is that why you got to be the first one on stage? To have a rat help you cheat?"
Jin Shu nodded.
"No merchant is honest; this is a saying for you."
"No merchant is honest... Hehehe, this is the first time I've heard this saying."
However, given your dishonesty, I'm worried about whether our next transaction will go smoothly.
Jin Shu reached out and stroked the little mouse on her neck, then smiled.
"It's a matter of mutual consent. I'm not forcing you to make a deal with me. Or are you just not confident that you can handle a cat?"
"Hahaha, alright, then you better not let me catch you trying any tricks, otherwise, with your size, you wouldn't even be enough for me to eat, skin and all."
Before setting off, Jin Shu was told that she could only bring one person along.
Jin Shu thought for a moment, then took a little mouse with her.
When the Eagle King clan arrived, they traveled by carriage. However, after returning, they found they had a large amount of cargo and not enough carriages, so they sent people back to arrange for their arrival.
"Let me introduce myself so we can communicate on the way. My name is Mu Feng. What's yours?"
"Jin Shu".
"Oh, what a coincidence! The female cat I know also has the surname Jin, and her name is Jin... Jin something..."
"Golden Cherry".
"Yes, let's call it Golden Cherry."
After saying that, Mu Feng looked at Jin Shu curiously.
How did you know?
"Because I know her, you can probably tell from our names that we are sisters."
Mu Feng nodded, his gaze becoming more thoughtful.
"Then all the females in your cat clan are quite capable. Your sister is very capable, and you are not bad either."
Jin Shu wasn't interested in what impressive things her sister had done.
Because she didn't need to guess to know that after the cat clan fell into ruin, Lin Yu's last use was to take Jin Ying away from that mountain.
Once she leaves the mountains, Jin Ying becomes like a fish in the sea, easily attaching herself to even more powerful males with her unparalleled seductive skills.
The most powerful clan in this area is undoubtedly the Eagle King clan.
Therefore, it's highly likely that Jin Ying is already pregnant with a child from the Eagle King clan.
Seeing that Jin Shu didn't seem to want to say anything more, Mu Feng simply transformed back into his original form.
He leaned forward, and the next second a huge golden-crowned, long-browed eagle king let out a sharp cry and soared into the sky.
Its massive size caused the earth to tremble with a single flap of its wings, and the surrounding forest shook and swayed wildly, as if a powerful tornado had sprung up out of nowhere.
Jin Shu managed to grab the roots of the old tree with both hands, which turned into claws, just in time to avoid being swept away by the gust of wind.
The eagle king overhead blotted out the sun, circled once in the sky, then retracted its wings and landed on the ground.
"Come on up, you walk too slowly."
Jin Shu looked up at the "helicopter" in front of her, then leaped up and easily jumped onto its back.
Compared to Mu Feng's size, Jin Shu was really too small. When she sat on the eagle's back, even if she lay down, there was enough room for ten of her on both sides.
When Mu Feng soared into the air, the enormous impact distorted Jin Shu's face.
She transformed into a cat, bit the little mouse that had come with her, and then burrowed under Mu Feng's feathers.
The other party didn't care about her life or death at all. With a flap of its wings, it rushed a thousand meters away, and moved freely through the mountains and forests, its speed was even more exciting than riding the world's fastest roller coaster.
The immense feeling of weightlessness, accompanied by the howling wind, threatened to blow Jin Shu away at any moment.
She gripped Mu Feng's feathers tightly with all four claws, and whenever he sped up, her claws would dig fiercely into his flesh.
The other party seemed completely oblivious to pain, flying around carelessly.
Having traversed most of the Beast World continent, by nightfall they had covered more than half the distance.
"If I wasn't worried that you would be hungry, I could fly back overnight."
"Thank you, I am indeed hungry."
Jin Shu wasted a lot of energy just thinking about not falling.
When she stood on the ground, her legs felt weak and she felt dizzy for a moment, but she quickly got used to it.
Mu Feng didn't intend to have much interaction with her. After transforming into human form, he sat under the tree and closed his eyes to rest.
Jin Shu didn't disturb him. She opened the package and then instructed the little one to gather some firewood.
Soon, a pile of charcoal was lit, and on top of the charcoal was a simple stone slab. An earthenware pot sat on the stone slab, and the soup inside was bubbling and steaming.
On a cold night, this spot under the tree roots was warm and dry.
Because Jin Shu had set up a simple animal skin tent, she hid her whole body inside the tent while eating, leaving only one hand to slowly stir the meat porridge in the pot.
The aroma filled the air, and the little one drooled silently beside him.
Jin Shu served him a bowl first. The little guy took the bowl, which was bigger than his face, and although he grimaced from the heat, he still drank it eagerly.
Jin Shu glanced at him.
"Eat slowly, there's still plenty left."
"You're quite generous to a mouse."
Mu Feng, who had just been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and walked over at some point.
He looked Jin Shu up and down at the tent behind her, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.
"You made all of this yourself?"
"Um."
"clever."
Jin Shu didn't say anything because she was very hungry. Besides, the porridge contained pheasant meat that she had marinated for a long time. It only needed a little salt and wild scallions for seasoning. She knew without tasting it that this porridge would be incredibly delicious.
So Jin Shu didn't have time to talk. After serving herself a bowl of porridge, she picked up a spoon and started eating.
Mu Feng, standing to the side, watched Jin Shu eat with a slight smile on his face.
"Is it that delicious? Do people in your tribe rarely have enough to eat?"
Jin Shu looked at him.
Would you like to try a bowl?
"Although I'm not very hungry, since you've invited me, I might as well try a bowl."
Jin Shu served him a bowl.
Mu Feng stared at the porridge in the bowl for a moment, then turned to ask Jin Shu.
What's in there?
"Mixed grains and pheasant meat."
Mu Feng tried it out of curiosity, and soon after, Jin Shu's ears were finally at peace. (End of Chapter)
