Chapter 224 The Search for the Coal Mine



"Yes, but it will take a while. The dragon tribe's people are relatively more precious than the beastmen. In addition, after the tiger tribe produced the Eastern Dragon, a dragon beastman, those tribes also tried to raise their people to be beast-like."

Looking at the crabapple blossoms, he said, "How about this? We have a girl in our tribe named Dongfang Li. She's also a female dragon. We can use her child..."

"Her children did not inherit her bloodline. If a female cannot transform into a beastman, whether she lives with beastmen or humans, there is a 70% chance she will inherit male blood." Only in the remaining 30% is it possible for her child to inherit female blood.

If both the woman and the man were beastmen at this moment, the odds would be almost even. Upon hearing this, Huo Qiu nodded and said, "I see. Then I'll have to think of a way..."

"Okay, I'll leave this to you." Haitang nodded. Huoqiu nodded in response. Haitang went back to her room. Dongfang Chen washed his hands not far away, then washed the basin and started filling it with water for the baby mermaid.

After changing the water for the baby mermaid, she put the baby mermaid in and said, "Mommy...you're back. Brother Xiao Xiang has prepared the food and is just waiting for you to come back to eat."

Dongfang Chen looked at Haitang happily and Haitang nodded and walked over. As she watched the child absorb the nutrients, she couldn't help but ruffle his hair. Seeing Haitang's gentleness, Dongfang Chen immediately smiled.

Dongfang Chen started getting food for the baby mermaids. After Haitang fed Dongfang Meng, she saw Dongfang Meng blinking at her and then looking at the meat not far away. Haitang shook her head and said that the child couldn't eat meat yet.

"It will take at least a while," Aunt He said, looking at Haitang. "Mom... after you left just now, Aunt He brought some food." Haitang nodded when she heard this.

While eating, Haitang thought the food tasted pretty good. After finishing her meal, she put the child down a short distance away and started reading. As she read, she couldn't help but sigh.

To be honest, even Haitang only half-understands these books on architecture, and can't comprehend them. The concepts are too vague for Haitang, and she almost has no idea how to understand them.

Haitang wasn't an architecture student, so she could only look at these things without understanding them. Fortunately, Huoqiu sent her someone—a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy who had also studied at school.

He knows far more characters than others, and his father, who is also an architect and a little beastman, is here with Huo Qiu to learn from Haitang.

When Haitang looked at the other person, she asked, "What's your name?" Upon hearing this, the boy became a little shy.

"My name is Qiao Qiao," Qiao Qiao said, looking at Hai Tang with a hint of shyness. Hai Tang nodded and gestured for her to sit down.

"Take this book home and study it carefully. If you understand it yourself and encounter any unfamiliar words, you can come to me," Haitang said. Qiaoqiao was slightly taken aback when she heard this.

But he immediately nodded and started looking at it, "Um... what's the use of this?"

"What's written inside is all about architecture. Once you learn it, you'll be able to build not just two or three stories, but even more than ten stories in no time," Haitang said. "That's why I'm sending you back to study it carefully. You have a long way to go."

Upon hearing this, Qiaoqiao immediately looked at the book in her hands, feeling that it was both hot and precious. "I will try my best. Um... how about I find another partner?"

“Now that I’ve given you the book, you can naturally find companions. For the next year or so here, you don’t have to do anything. I’ll have Huo Qiu pay your salary. All you need to do is study the things in this book,” Haitang said to Qiaoqiao.

Qiaoqiao nodded immediately, "Yes, I will learn it quickly." When Qiaoqiao was very happy, she would hug the book as if she were holding a treasure. Huoqiu looked at Haitang.

Looking at Haitang, he asked, "Are you serious? Can a building really be that tall?" Yes, is it true? He was starting to doubt it.

"Do you think it's fake?" Haitang asked calmly. Upon hearing this, Huoqiu shook his head. Haitang rarely lied or deceived people.

Thinking about this, I felt a surge of excitement. "Oh, right... I was thinking about something the other day. You see, everyone else has a surname. We should have been Xinhu, but... we were deprived of it. Which one do you think would be better for us to add as our surname?"

Looking at Haitang, Huoqiu spoke up. Haitang blinked at Huoqiu, "You said you wanted to choose a surname? That's a bit troublesome. How about Dongfang?"

"No." Upon hearing this, Huo Qiu immediately shook her head and said, "No, think of something else." She looked at Haitang and said.

"Um... I need to think about it, let me think..." Haitang said. Could it be that she couldn't come up with a solution in an instant? Haitang felt that she was being forced into a difficult situation, and she felt somewhat helpless.

Huo Qiu understood that this was not something that could be easily figured out. "Okay, don't rush, just think about it slowly." With that, Huo Qiu left.

When Haitang watched Huoqiu leave, she also went to see her own house, a newly built house. At this moment, the room looked pretty good, except for one thing: there was no whitewash.

It looks alright, with stones everywhere, but... Haitang also said she wanted to paint it white, and of course, tiles would be even more perfect, but those things are currently impossible to make.
