Hu Shen didn't give Hu Sha any more chances to argue and ordered his men to lock Hu Sha and Shu Jin up.
Hu Sha, who was locked back in the cave, was furious.
She looked at the two tiger-clan beastmen guarding the cave entrance, her face a mixture of resentment and malice.
She was clearly the closest female to Tiger Brother Hu Shen, so why was she locked up while that outsider female could roam freely in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain!
Hu Sha paced back and forth in the cave, feeling a little flustered as she thought of the look of disgust her brother Hu Shen had given her.
She hadn't even done anything to that little beast yet, and Brother Hu Shen was already protecting it.
If Brother Hu Shen knew that the old man's death was related to him, he would hate himself even more.
The thought made Hu Sha's heart tighten.
No, we absolutely cannot let Brother Hu Shen know about this!
And that little beast, it's already so difficult to deal with now. Once it grows up and finds out the truth, it definitely won't let me off the hook.
She wouldn't let it have a chance to grow; once she started, she wanted to eliminate any future problems!
Inside the cave of the rat-orcs.
The rat chieftain bowed and scraped before the tiger orc, apologizing with a forced smile.
"It is my fault for not teaching Shu Jin well. Please rest assured, I will definitely teach him a lesson. If he makes the same mistake again, I will let the king deal with him as he sees fit."
The rat chieftain bowed and scraped for a long time before finally seeing off the tiger beastmen who were escorting the rat brocade back.
Back in the cave, his face immediately darkened.
Looking at Shu Jin sitting in the corner, he walked over with a look of disappointment.
"You're so foolish! Xiao Jin, you're really foolish! That's the old beast king's cub, how could you mess around with Hu Sha like that?"
“I won’t stop you from doing whatever you want if you like her, but how could you lay a hand on the old beast king’s cub? If something happens, the entire rat clan could lose their lives, and we couldn’t afford to pay for that!”
Shu Jin looked somewhat embarrassed.
"I didn't really mean to hurt him, I just grabbed him to scare the female. Tiger cubs aren't that fragile."
He defended himself, dissatisfied.
"Besides, it's clearly Wang who went too far in this matter. The cub was perfectly fine. Even if something happened, he could have come at me. Why did he lock up Hu Sha as well? She's a female."
The rat, like a tiger, cried out against injustice.
Seeing his cub's stubbornness, the rat chieftain shook his head and sighed in exasperation.
His wrinkled old face twitched, and he asked in return:
“Husha is your precious darling, and you’re so angry that Husha is locked up. The females and cubs are also the king’s precious darlings.”
"You have hurt them so badly, the fact that the King didn't kill you is already an act of great magnanimity on the King's part!"
The rat chieftain looked disappointed.
"Leaving aside what the old Beast King and the King did for Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, if it weren't for the old Beast King taking in our rat clan and letting us settle down in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, our rat clan would have been wiped out long ago."
"If it weren't for you, why do you think we rats would be able to live alongside those powerful orcs in the Beast Mountain?"
"Don't you know your own capabilities?!"
The rat clan chief's words made Shu Jin feel extremely ashamed.
"Father, please stop talking..."
He lowered his head, his voice buzzing like a mosquito's.
"I won't do that again."
Although it was to help Hu Sha, he did not shirk his responsibility.
After the rat clan chief left, Rat Brocade kept hearing his father's words echoing in his mind.
He always felt that if you like a female, you should do anything for her. He had never thought about whether those things were right or wrong.
But after listening to his father's words, he suddenly realized that what Hu Sha had asked him to do this time seemed to have really gone too far...
Shu Jin's usually steadfast heart wavered slightly at this moment.
...
"The Four Treasures".
At Su Tang's call, Si Bao slowly woke up.
Remembering what happened before she fell unconscious, Sibao meowed and snuggled into Sutang's arms.
It wasn't afraid of danger, but when it saw its mother there, a surge of grievances welled up inside it.
"It's alright, Sibao. The bad beast has been driven away. Sibao, don't be afraid." Su Tang hugged Sibao with both arms and gently patted its back.
The woman and her baby embraced each other.
Hu Shen, who was standing to the side, felt extremely distressed.
"A-Tang, I'm sorry. I didn't keep a close eye on Hu Sha, and she hurt Si Bao. I won't let this happen again, so don't worry."
He made the promise with a solemn expression.
Su Tang looked up at Hu Shen and shook her head, saying, "It's not your fault, this has nothing to do with you."
She's not someone who can't distinguish right from wrong, so how could she possibly blame Hu Shen?
“But Sibao is injured.” Hu Shen’s face still showed self-blame.
Sibao raised his head when he heard his name called.
The middle of its head was bald, like a little kappa, and the bald spot was exactly where the bump had been raised.
It looks quite comical.
Su Tang checked Si Bao's body and found no other injuries.
"You've already done so much for Sibao. Sibao and I aren't delicate flowers in a greenhouse; we can handle this." She waved her hand, telling Hu Shen not to worry.
"Flowers in a greenhouse?" A look of confusion crossed Hu Shen's face; he didn't understand the meaning of those words.
"Um... what I mean is, Sibao and I aren't that delicate," Su Tang explained after thinking for a moment.
Although she felt sorry for Sibao's injury, she knew that living on the ancient continent, which was not a peaceful era, meant that no beastman was immune to any bumps or bruises.
Hu Shen nodded.
He felt that Ah Tang was the delicate flower he wanted to protect.
As for Hu Sha's bald head, he naturally chose to ignore it.
Looking at the still lively Sibao, Hu Shen realized that he had been worrying too much. Sibao had grown up and was no longer the little baby who hadn't been weaned yet.
To become the future king, the cub still needs to undergo many trials.
We can't let this little difficulty defeat us.
The two reached a consensus on their parenting philosophies.
Distant mountains, setting sun.
A flock of large birds flew across the sky in a V-shape, as if in a neat formation.
A hoarse "gaggaggag" sound seemed to echo from below the cliff.
After confirming that Sibao was not frightened, the two took Sibao back to the cave.
Su Jianyuan saw the two walking back side by side and a knowing smile appeared on his face.
"How come I came back and found you all gone? Oh, it's because, tsk tsk..."
Su Tang glared at him, told Si Bao to go back to the cave to rest, and quickly stepped forward to pull Su Jianyuan aside to prevent him from talking nonsense.
"Brother, come here, I have something to discuss with you."
"Hey! I was just joking with you, don't be angry!" Su Jianyuan thought Su Tang was angry, so he quickly changed his tune.
Su Tang glanced at him, looking helpless. "I really have something to discuss with you."
