Chapter 323 These Fools
Ruan Xiyue pouted: "You're not even here, yet you're still teasing me, how annoying! Anyway, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's get down to business! How are the sloth tribe's beastmen? Can they help us?"
Qin Ye sighed, pursed his lips for a moment, and after considering his words, said, "The orcs of the sloth tribe... it's hard to say. When they transform into human form, their speed is no different from that of ordinary people. But when they are in beast form, they are not very adapted to any kind of work."
The main issue is that when they transform into their beast forms, communication must be concise and precise. Otherwise, they might not respond for a long time. However, the sloth tribe's beastmen have claws perfectly suited for removing hard rocks and clods of earth.
Qin Ye then briefly recounted the story of digging underground pipes.
Since the sloth tribe's orcs couldn't use their sharp claws to remove the hard soil and rocks underground according to the blueprints, other tribes' orcs had to carry the sloth orcs to dig underground water pipes.
The initial coordination was less than ideal, but in the later stages, the addition of the sloth orc made things much easier.
Ruan Xiyue listened and laughed uncontrollably, feeling that she had no words to express her feelings.
"I really want to see the sloth tribe's orcs in person."
Qin Ye couldn't help but rub his forehead: "They plan to have their entire clan surrender to Beast City. Even if they can only live in the outer city, they're willing. What do you think, should we take them in?"
"Can you swear an oath to the Beast God and pledge your allegiance to me?"
Qin Ye pursed his lips: "I feel that they are willing. There are only a little over 3,700 orcs in the sloth tribe in total."
"Moreover, they... I find it hard to imagine how they survived. They probably managed to survive by maintaining relatively good relations with the five nearest tribes!"
"But, wife, you have to understand, if you take them in, they'll really be a useless tribe."
Ruan Xiyue sighed, "But wouldn't this also be good for my reputation?"
Qin Ye thought for a moment and said, "You mean, Beast City not only attracts powerful beastmen, but also provides shelter to weaker beastmen, giving them a place to live, thereby attracting more small tribes to join us?"
Ruan Xiyue nodded: "Yes, honey. The Beast City I designed was originally larger than the average Beast City. Other Beast Cities have a permanent population of 40,000 to 50,000 Beastmen, but the design of my Beast City can accommodate 70,000 Beastmen just in the inner city."
Ruan Xiyue was silent for a moment, then said, "Xia Weier's two elder brothers have given birth to cubs of the Bright Moon Rabbit Clan. I don't know what kind of trouble they'll cause. Maybe they'll try to ostracize me from the surrounding beast cities?"
"Therefore, my beast city cannot be full of powerful races. If I accept weaker races and tribes, they will not be afraid of me."
Qin Ye frowned slightly: "You'd better not go out recently. Although the alpaca tribe behind the Ninth Prince is only a medium-sized tribe, their strength should not be underestimated."
"Moreover, once they learn that you can make wool sweaters from sheep hair, they will definitely want to acquire this skill. After all, when they transform into animal form, they have to shred their fur every year during the hot season."
"They already have a lot of wool to shed themselves. If they can also raise sheep, all they need is your technology to turn wool into yarn."
Ruan Xiyue raised an eyebrow: "If they cooperate with me, it's not impossible for us to achieve a win-win situation. But if they insist on forcing things..."
Qin Ye's deep voice came from the other end of the earring: "I think the Holy Mother, the mother of the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince, is not a simple female."
"How so?" Ruan Xiyue's curiosity was piqued by Qin Ye.
"The fourth prince, Xia Weier, left the Holy City when he was twelve years old. However, when he left the Holy City, the Ninth Prince happened to be a little over two years old. Generally, if a cub can live past the age of three, it is unlikely to die young."
"Then, the ambushes and assassinations that Xia Weier encountered began to occur frequently after the Ninth Prince turned three years old."
Ruan Xiyue frowned slightly: "I always thought it was the eldest prince who hated Xia Weier the most."
Qin Ye was silent for a moment: "I can't rule out that possibility, but if Xia Weier had died back then, the Ninth Prince would have benefited the most. If I were the First Prince, I would never have done that."
Ruan Xiyue nodded: "That makes sense! So, we need to be wary of the alpaca tribe, right?"
"But now that you mention it, honey, I'm actually thinking of going to find them first!"
"Technology sharing isn't out of the question, but the most technically crucial part of the whole process is actually degreasing the wool, which is also the most environmentally damaging step! If they want to join my team, getting on is easy, but getting off will be difficult!"
Qin Ye pursed his lips: "You need to be careful. This Holy Female has big ambitions. She's still in the Holy City."
Ruan Xiyue and Qin Ye were chatting enthusiastically, while in the Holy City, the Beast King looked at the two infants and sighed deeply.
If the Beast King had never seen the ancestral bloodline of the Bright Moon Rabbit, he would have been overjoyed to have another Bright Moon Rabbit cub.
But when he sees something better, and what he gets is only second-rate, he will never forget it.
Why did the Beast King know that Xia Weier wasn't going back to Ruan Xiyue's side?
Therefore, he now strongly suspects that the three cubs may have actually died.
But as he sensed the bloodline stone every day, the totem lost all its vitality.
The Beast King was furious, blaming everything and everyone but himself.
The thought of Xia Weier's reluctance to return to the Cheetah Lion Tribe made him feel that Xia Weier was a disobedient and rebellious son.
After thinking about it, he decided to get involved.
The Beast King took out the portrait that the artist had drawn for Ruan Xiyue's cub from his storage bag. Looking at the chubby baby in the portrait, he couldn't help but smile.
The Beast King put away the animal hide scroll and left the room where the cubs were kept.
Walking along the moonlit corridor, the Beast King pointed forward with his index and middle fingers together, and a dragon-beastman knelt on one knee in front of him.
The Beast King made the orc in front of him stand up, gave him some instructions, and finally said, "You must invite the Holy Consort Ruan Xiyue to the Holy City."
The tasks assigned by the Beast King are being secretly arranged and carried out.
One of the orcs, who was keeping a close eye on the Beast King's movements, quickly hid in the darkness.
The orc hurriedly headed towards the current Beast King's mate, the Ninth Prince's Beast Mother.
“Holy Lady, I recently discovered that the Beast King likes to go to the cub room. He even took the cubs of the First Prince and the Second Prince there.”
The Holy Mother frowned slightly. The beastmen she sent and she both thought that the Beast King had been visiting the Moon Rabbit cubs of the First and Second Princes these past two days.
The Holy Mother narrowed her eyes and asked in a low voice, "What did the Red Fox Tribe say? Didn't the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Princess plead for the Red Fox Tribe?"
"Even if the Red Fox Tribe is incompetent, shouldn't they at least demand that the Beast King severely punish the orcs who attacked them? Then, if they don't know who the culprit is, they can avoid going to the border town forever! These idiots!"
