The brother and sister were filled with remorse for what they had done along the way.
If they had known it would be like this, they should have treated that tiger-clan beastman better... otherwise they wouldn't be unable to even get up Mount Ten Thousand Beasts now.
"Brother, what do we do now?" Ying Yiyi looked at the two tiger-clan beastmen guarding the entrance to the mountain, her face full of frustration.
Ying Tai gritted his teeth, "If we can't get up to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, we can only go back to the tribe first."
He couldn't stay at the foot of the Beast Mountain forever. Even if he, a beastman, could take good care of Yiyi, he couldn't bear the shame.
How could the future patriarch of the prestigious Azure Eagle Tribe be unable to even enter the gates of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain? If the other tribes found out, they would laugh their heads off.
"But the way back is so dangerous. What if we encounter the same snake-like beast we came from again..." Ying Yiyi said worriedly.
She didn't want to encounter any danger on her way back; she had had enough of the hardships she had endured on the way there.
Besides, if she went back like this, the females in the tribe would definitely laugh at her.
"I'll think of a way," Ying Tai said through gritted teeth, watching the orcs descending from Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
...
On Mount Ten Thousand Beasts.
As Su Tang walked beside Hu Shen, she felt as if countless eyes were watching her from all around.
But looking back, apart from the group of tiger-kin beastmen who had just come down the mountain to greet Hu Shen, there were no other beastmen around.
Her expression was a little strange. Was it just her imagination?
"Hiss~" Su Tang had just walked under a tree when two green, triangular heads that blended almost into the leaves emerged from the bushes.
"Hiss~" Is this the female who raised the old beast king's cubs?
"Hiss!" She's so beautiful, even slimmer than the females of our snake clan, her figure is amazing!
Several pairs of eyes and pointed, furry ears peeked out from the bushes under the tree.
"Meow~" I heard that the king likes her. Will she be the king's partner from now on?
"Meow!" Such a beautiful female, I like her too! I want to be petted by her...
The monkey, hanging from a tree branch with one hand, said, "I've heard that this female tribe is even wealthier than our Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. They must be an extremely powerful tribe!"
The elephant, disguised as a large rock, flapped its ears: "Niu Li said that tribe is even better than the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain! It feels like our king is marrying above his station with a female!"
Further away, behind rocks, in dark underground caves, and even in the sky obscured by leaves, countless chattering voices whispered among themselves.
Rumors about Su Tang spread like wildfire throughout Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
At the same time, there are also some dissenting voices.
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
Several rat-like orcs with black beady eyes and gray fur whispered among themselves.
"Oh no! The king has brought back a female. Hu Sha will definitely be angry."
"Let's go, quickly go tell Hu Sha..."
These sounds were quickly dispersed by the wind.
Yingjie and Niuli had already prepared a cave for the group to stay in, and Hushen personally led them there to settle in.
Inside the cave.
Hu Shen told the group about the events that Wan Shou Shan had been robbed by the Lion Clan beastmen and the loss of the old beast king's cub.
Yingjie spoke up for Hushen at the right moment, "Atang, our king really didn't mean to hide it from you. If those traitors had known that the king and the cubs were outside the tribe, they would have definitely tried to kill them."
Niu Li nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, Wang just wanted to bring the cubs back. Ouch, Ying Jie, why did you hit me?"
Yingjie winked and made faces, his expression one of utter disappointment.
Is this something that can be said? Is he trying to help Wang, or is he making things worse?
Su Tang, Su Jianyuan, and Da Qing were all dumbfounded after hearing this.
"A-Tang, aren't Si-Bao and the others your children?"
"Girl, you haven't had a baby yet!"
They've always treated the five kids as Su Tang's own children!
Su Tang felt as if she had been struck by lightning; the five children she had raised with such care were not actually her own.
Damn! No wonder she didn't have any milk when she first arrived. She's never given birth before, so where would she get the milk?
Most importantly, they are not kittens at all, but tiger cubs.
She said, "I've never seen a cat like this before."
Su Tang was stunned for a long time and didn't hear what Niu Li and Ying Jie said at all.
Sibao tilted his head back, looking at his mother and then at Hushen.
What's wrong with Mom? She seems unhappy. Could it be that her throat isn't getting better?
Without hesitation, it walked to its mother's side and rubbed its head against her calf.
It was as if it were saying, "Sibao's throat is no longer being treated, Mother, please don't be upset."
The cub, not yet a year old, could only sense the beastman's changing emotions, but could not understand why.
"A-Tang?" Seeing that Su Tang seemed to be in a trance, Hu Shen's eyes showed a hint of worry. Was she angry?
The next second, Su Tang showed a defensive expression and hugged Si Bao, who already weighed several dozen pounds, into her arms.
"You...you came back to me just to take my baby away from me?"
The slight flutter in Su Tang's heart for Hu Shen was instantly crushed into a ball, squeezed, stomped on a few times, and finally stuffed back in without hesitation.
You can deceive her feelings, but you can't steal her cubs!
She raised her cub with so much care, and now she thinks she can just leave because she says it's not hers? No way!
She would never agree!
"Rob?" Hu Shen caught the inappropriate word and realized that Su Tang had misunderstood him.
Initially, he really just wanted to bring the tiger cubs back.
But now, he has already changed his mind.
As long as the tiger cubs can grow up healthy, they don't need to live anywhere. The most important thing is that they are happier with Atang.
They've already lost their parents once, and he won't let them lose them a second time.
Before Hu Shen could explain, Su Jianyuan spoke with a serious expression:
"Hu Shen, even if you are the Beast King of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, I will not let you take the cubs away. They are our family's cubs."
If someone tries to take away his cubs or harm his sister, he will not back down, even if the other party is the Beast King.
Da Qing also stood behind Su Jianyuan, forming a united front, "That's right, even if you're the first orc to let me into the tribe, you can't take away the Four Treasures!"
Although Hu Shen is really a good person, and perhaps more orcs will come to not dislike him in the future, A Tang and her family are irreplaceable.
No one can bully them!
Upon hearing this, Hu Shen looked at Su Tang, a smile flashing in his eyes, "I won't do that, don't worry, the cub and I are..."
Before he could finish saying "your," Hu Ming rushed in from outside the cave.
"My lord, something terrible has happened! The orcs who went hunting down the mountain were attacked by unknown orcs. Eight are dead and fifteen are seriously injured, including a female who was out hunting..."
Hu Shen paused, glanced at the people in the cave, and then swallowed back the words he was about to say.
"Go outside and wait for me. I'll be there in a bit."
