After comforting the baby, I went to wash my face. After washing, I sat in the room, warming the blankets for my mother. When Haitang came in, I obediently lay down inside.
"Mom." He said to Haitang. Upon hearing this, Haitang immediately lay down in bed, and Dongfang Chen immediately hugged her. Compared to Dongfang Meng's relatively close relationship with her mother, Dongfang Chen was like a child who had never grown up, and he especially liked to stick to Haitang.
Knowing how clingy the child was, Haitang gently ruffled his hair and said, "Go to sleep." Hearing this, Dongfang Chen blinked at Haitang, then quickly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
When Haitang looked at the child, she couldn't help but smile. After watching the child fall asleep, she closed her eyes as well.
There are still some things to do tomorrow. The people from the Lion Clan and Leopard Clan haven't returned yet. The freshmen did go to the coal mine and brought back some news, but it wasn't accurate.
Because she couldn't get close without being discovered by the Flower Tiger Clan, Haitang could only wait for news from the Lion Clan and the Leopard Clan.
The conflict between the Lion Tribe and the Leopard Tribe was progressing smoothly. The Tiger Tribe had no intention of surrendering or submitting directly, but unexpectedly, the Crocodile Tribe came to take advantage of the situation.
Tiger Mountain and the others looked grim as they watched those people taking advantage of the chaos. Their faces turned ashen, because it was all intentional. They looked down at the Leopard Tribe and the Lion Tribe below.
"When did your two tribes become someone else's lackeys, Lion Tribe..." The Lion King shouted loudly at the Lion Tribe below. The Lion Tribe and the Tiger Tribe were comparable, while the Leopard Tribe was inferior.
Unexpectedly, the Lion Clan had become the Tiger Clan's lackeys. "What benefits did the Lion King and the Tiger Clan give you? We can give you the same in return."
"Heh...can you give it to me?" The Lion King looked coldly at Lion Mountain and said, "Just do as we agreed at the beginning: compensation...and hand over the fox tribe you control."
He didn't take Tiger Mountain's words to heart at all. As far as the Lion King was concerned, Tiger Mountain was right. The Tiger Clan was much weaker than the Lion Clan, but even though they were weak, they still had their own strengths.
The Lion Clan is a powerful clan that lives a better life than other clans, and many clans dare not provoke them, yet they also have their own clan's suffering.
Even in winter, children starve to death because they have nothing to eat. Many children die at birth in winter, and both females and beastmen suffer from the pain of hunger.
But now that's no longer necessary. Thanks to the cooperation with the Tiger Tribe, our food, drink, and clothing have all improved significantly. We no longer go hungry or lack warmth.
The Lion Clan tribe is now much stronger than it was a few years ago, and its orcs have become more successfully beastmen—something no other tribe can match.
Cooperating with the Tiger Tribe can bring many benefits. As for why not just take it directly, don't even think about it. It's unrealistic to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs when you already have something.
When Hu Shan and the others heard this, their faces turned grim. Looking down, they were filled with anger. "The Leopard Tribe...you?"
“I’m sorry, I was just doing what the chieftain did. Besides… we’ve already formed an alliance with the Tiger Clan. How can we refuse a request from an ally?” Leopard Cloud said with a smile.
Leopard Cloud's smile only made him seem more irritating. There had never been anyone else who could make people hate Leopard Cloud so much.
Seeing that the people below were completely unresponsive to his pleas for food and drink, Hu Shan's expression darkened, especially as he looked at the ironware and cursed the Tiger Clan tribe inwardly.
They are all beastmen of the Tiger Clan, those despicable people from the Tiger Clan tribe, yet they would rather benefit from other tribes than give to their own Tiger Clan, who are of the same origin. How can Tiger Mountain not be hateful and polite?
"Alright, stop wasting time with them. If they don't give us an answer tomorrow in this freezing weather, just call them." The Lion King didn't have much patience. It was already freezing cold, and he had no interest in chatting with them.
Upon hearing this, Leopard Cloud nodded and said, "Tomorrow... if you don't give us a satisfactory answer, then don't blame us for being impolite." With that, he waved to the orcs behind him.
He turned and left, looking directly at the Lion King as he went, and asked, "How much of a chance do you think the Flower Tiger clan will surrender?"
"Surrendering without resistance is impossible. They'll have to struggle. But I've discovered that the Crocodile Tribe wanted to take over the Tiger Tribe's territory from the start. Now that we're here, they're just trying to take advantage of us on the other side. Just wait... they'll regret it when they get hurt." The Lion King sneered.
Leopard Cloud nodded, utterly astonished by the outrageous actions of the Flower Tiger Clan. He couldn't understand how the Flower Tiger Clan, also a tiger clan, could squander such a good hand.
They could have cooperated more closely with the Tiger Clan than anyone else, but Leopard Cloud soon couldn't help but laugh. He probably understood that the Flower Tiger Clan had been the leader for so long that they wouldn't follow the Tiger Clan's lead.
Furthermore, the Tiger Tribe isn't stupid enough to give things away for nothing; they'll definitely make the Flower Tiger Tribe do the work. The Flower Tiger Tribe feels it's beneath them to work for those scrawny tigers from the Tiger Tribe, so naturally they won't compromise or agree. They're truly a short-sighted bunch.
The members of the Flower Tiger Clan also looked grim. "Didn't you say that threatening the Tiger Clan would lead to compromise? What's going on now? Instead, you've made things worse. Now... more and more enemies are coming, and we've offended two more tribes for nothing."
