Achoo!
"What's wrong? Did you catch a cold from being exposed to the wind these past few days?"
Long Yin was looking for suitable clothes for her to have dinner with her father when he suddenly heard You Ran sneeze. He asked her with some concern.
It's winter, and sometimes even a cold can be fatal, let alone for a pregnant woman like her. She can't afford to be careless.
Mu Youran rubbed her uncomfortable nose: "It's nothing, it's probably just dust getting in and irritating my nose."
Upon hearing this, the guards standing nearby immediately beckoned two male guards to come over and carefully wipe the ground clean.
"Hurry up! The floor isn't clean yet. If the princess chokes again, it'll be your fault!"
Long Yin: "How about we don't go there at all, and have Father come instead?"
Mu Youran rolled her eyes at him, grabbed a pink animal skin dress, and draped a white cloak over her shoulders: "How can that be? Father is an elder. He invited us to dinner, how can we let him come over!"
"Let's go!"
Seeing that she had already tidied herself up, he quickly followed, put on his hat, took her slightly cold hand, and headed towards the Beast King's bedroom.
As soon as the two reached the eaves and shook off the snow, before they even went inside, the Beast King happily ran out to greet them.
"Oh dear, I've been waiting for you two! Come in quickly, it's too cold outside!"
Long Yin pulled her into the room, and as soon as they entered, a wave of heat hit them, so they quickly took off their cloaks.
Seeing his considerate manner, the Beast King was very pleased. It reminded him of his own past self!
"Sit down and eat quickly, it's getting cold!"
Underneath the table was a large pit filled with glowing red charcoal, so the food was kept warm.
Mu Youran was a little curious. The Beast King had disliked her a few days ago, so why was he suddenly being so nice to her and even inviting her to dinner here?
The table was laden with meat, as well as unfamiliar fruits, stir-fried mushrooms, mashed potatoes, roast meat, and stir-fried meat—a truly sumptuous meal.
The Beast King enthusiastically served food to the two of them, and soon their bowls were piled high with food.
The happiest person was undoubtedly Long Yin, whose father accepted his partner.
While eating meat with gusto, he suddenly saw the stir-fried mushrooms and meat across from him, stood up immediately, and brought the dish over.
"You Ran, your favorite mushrooms!"
Mu Youran picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks and placed it in Long Yin's bowl before saying, "Thank you, you should eat more too."
The two got along very well, and the Beast King couldn't stop smiling.
The more I look at this daughter-in-law, the more I like her.
In the past, Long Yin was practically invisible to the common people.
If it weren't for the rat tribe, he probably wouldn't have been known by the people of Beast King City. It's just that the way he became famous was a bit embarrassing.
He was actually outmaneuvered by a rat kid. To protect his reputation, we have no choice but to send him away to lay low for a while and let him come back once things have calmed down!
Unexpectedly, this time when she returned, she brought back a partner, although the baby in her belly was not Long Yin's.
But as the mighty Beast King, he could afford to raise a cub; it was just a matter of feeding it!
More importantly, because of his partner, his reputation in Beast King City has soared. As soon as they left the palace, news of the two of them standing up for the people and defeating the rat tribe spread everywhere.
What's wrong with a female who can help Longyin having several partners?
Those in high positions are always the most capable, regardless of gender. If a woman is capable, she will naturally have several partners!
Seeing how well they got along, he couldn't resist striking while the iron was hot.
"Hey, son, I heard you bought a house in the capital for over 2,500 seashells, is that true?"
Mu Youran was puzzled. How could the Beast King know about such a small matter? More importantly, what did he mean by bringing this up?
Long Yin solemnly corrected him: "Father, what you said is incorrect."
"It wasn't us, it was You Ran who bought it. I was just holding the money for her!"
Upon hearing this, the Beast King looked at the very quiet You Ran in disbelief, thinking that his son had paid for it.
So the rumors outside were wrong. But then again, if a female can ask her partner to help her keep her money, doesn't that mean that her partner holds a very high position in her heart?
Moreover, since You Ran has taken a liking to his son, he must be rich!
Otherwise, what would You Ran see in him? He looks extremely childish and is immature in his thinking.
"Then could you lend your father your secret savings?"
Upon hearing this, Long Yin felt somewhat embarrassed!
He was used to spending money lavishly and had no savings. Moreover, with You Ran now pregnant, the blue crystal had become a consumable item, leaving him penniless.
Mu Youran knew this situation all too well; it was likely that the Beast King's request to borrow money from Long Yin was a futile one.
However, she was somewhat curious as to why the mighty Beast King would borrow money from Long Yin.
"Beast King, what do you need money for?"
At this point, the light on the Beast King's face vanished, and he let out a long sigh.
"In recent years, the number of magical beasts on our orc continent has been increasing, and there are quite a few magical beasts with powerful abilities among them."
"The battle at the front is critical, and many soldiers are still suffering from cold and hunger this winter."
"I'm out of options, so I was thinking of borrowing some money from you guys. I can pay it back in the spring!"
Mu Youran lowered her eyes slightly. There was too much helplessness in her words. For a beast king to be willing to bow down to someone he didn't like in order to protect the safety of his people, one can imagine how much mental fortitude that must have taken.
Moreover, she discovered while she was in the Sunset Tribe that they were eating magical beasts more and more often recently, and that the Fengyu Tribe was destroyed because of a magical beast attack.
It's better not to know about these things yourself, but once you find out, you can't just ignore them!
After all, this was also a way of saving herself; she didn't want to become a wandering orc and have the Sunset Tribe wiped out!
She doesn't want Huang Yu's grave to be trampled flat by monsters!
He raised his eyes and smiled slightly: "Beast King, I have a plan!"
The Beast King, who was frowning in distress, suddenly heard these words, his eyes widened, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
How much can you lend me?
Mu Youran smiled. She knew her own limitations very well. Her few seashells were nothing in the eyes of the Beast King!
"I can't lend you the money, but I have a way to raise a large sum of money in a short time!"
Upon hearing this, the Beast King's eyes widened even more. He didn't know what other way there was besides collecting taxes!
"What method?"
Mu Youran glanced at Long Yin, who was also very curious, and smiled: "However, I want Long Yin to join in, so that he gets 30% of the benefits and you get 70%!"
The Beast King's appetite was whetted by her. Besides, what belongs to Long Yin is still his, and what belongs to him is also Long Yin's. It wouldn't be a problem for him to come.
"These are not problems. I'll give you a 10% share."
Mu Youran shook her head: "I'll pass, I don't have that much time, Long Yin is enough."
"What exactly is the method?" Long Yin couldn't help but ask!
