After He Guang saw the arrangements, he was satisfied.
Shuang Yun continued, “There’s another thing. After the beast soldiers move in, they have to strictly follow our rules. If any of them break the laws here, we have the right to expel them.”
He Guang frowned. “What are your rules here?”
Shuang Yun glanced at Jiu Yuan.
Jiu Yuan immediately stepped forward and explained the rules of the Rock Wolf Tribe.
After He Guang heard this, he looked thoughtful. “Your place doesn’t look like a tribe. It’s more like a beast city.”
Shuang Yun smiled. “If you think it’s a tribe, then it’s a tribe. If you think it’s a beast city, then it’s a beast city.”
Whether it was a tribe or a beast city, these had nothing to do with He Guang. He was more concerned about accommodation now.
He said, “The beast soldiers will abide by your rules here, but I also have a small request.”
“Please go ahead, Your Highness.”
“Many of the beast soldiers are frostbitten. I hope you can help treat them.”
Shuang Yun thought for a moment. “Sure, but the herbs for treatment have to be paid separately.”
Only then did He Guang smile in satisfaction. “You’re a straightforward beast. I like doing business with beasts like you.”
Shuang Yun extended his right hand. “You’re not bad either.”
He Guang didn’t understand why he was extending his right hand.
Shuang Yun said, “Shaking hands is a friendly gesture.”
This was an action Huanhuan had taught him before.
Every tribe had their own unique customs. Shaking hands might be the custom of the Rock Wolf Tribe. He Guang understood this and immediately stretched out his left hand to shake Shuang Yun’s hand.
Shuang Yun said, “May we have a happy cooperation.”
“Happy to be working with you.”
He Guang then went back to arrange the beast soldiers who would be staying on the rock mountain.
After they left, Shuang Yun and the others returned home.
Sang Ye could not appear directly because of his identity. When he saw Shuang Yun and Bai Di return, he took the initiative to ask about the outcome of the negotiation.
Shuang Yun smiled. “He Guang was here to discuss business with us this time.”
“What business?”
Shuang Yun roughly explained the contents of their deal.
Sang Ye never expected that He Guang would not only have no intention of falling out with them, but he also negotiated a huge deal with them.
It was a waste to leave those houses empty. Now that they were all rented out, the monthly rent alone was 30 medium-grade crystals.
The color of the crystals did not have to be the same as long as they were medium-sized.
The attributes of Shuang Yun, Bai Di, and Sang Ye were relatively special. These medium-grade crystals were useless to them. Although Xue Ling could use them, he was the kind of tycoon who just treated red crystals as decorations. It was impossible for him to fancy such a small number of crystals.
Therefore, Shuang Yun was prepared to keep these medium-grade crystals as prizes that could be exchanged with work points.
Now that there were more and more soul beasts in the tribe, they all needed to use crystals to increase their strength. They believed that the appearance of these medium-grade crystals would definitely make them scramble for them.
When Huanhuan returned, she was a little surprised to learn that 80 beast soldiers would be living in the tribe soon.
She asked, “What if those beast soldiers cause trouble in the rock mountain?”
“Then we’ll chase them out. In any case, there are only 80 of them. We have more than 500 beasts. Moreover, Xue Ling and Xuan Wei are both high-level soul beasts. Their lethality is very shocking. If we really fight, it’ll be a matter of minutes before we wipe them out.”
Shuang Yun’s tone was very confident. The strength of the Rock Wolf Tribe was no longer the same as before. Now that they were powerful, any scheme against them was useless!
Bai Di explained slowly, “We originally planned to test He Guang and see if he was a friend or foe. It seems that he doesn’t intend to make an enemy of the Rock Wolf Tribe.”
If He Guang dared to send beast soldiers to the rock mountain, he would definitely not make an enemy of the Rock Wolf Tribe.
At least, he wouldn’t do that anytime soon.
80 beast soldiers was not a lot, but it was still a considerable number of men.
If they were really wiped out in one go, He Guang’s heart would definitely ache. After all, after the few battles before, he only had about 200 soldiers left.
It was said that he still had reinforcements, but judging from the freezing cold weather, those reinforcements would not arrive anytime soon. They would have to wait until the snow melted before they could reach the Black River.
Bai Di said, “Instead of putting our guard up, we might as well keep an eye on them while they’re closer to us. Those beast soldiers will be living in the temporary residence. If they move at all, we’ll be able to notice immediately. It’ll save us a lot of trouble.”
Huanhuan threw herself into his arms. “You’re so smart.”
Bai Di caught her, his eyes filled with love. “He Guang asked us to help treat the beast soldiers’ frostbite. Give us a prescription and get Dong Ya and the others to get the medicine before sending it to the beast soldiers.”
“No problem.”
Huanhuan went back to her room to write the prescription; the children went to play; Bai Di went to the kitchen to cook; Shuang Yun went to look for Jiu Yuan to discuss the placement of the beast soldiers; Xue Ling was still not back.
Sang Ye prepared to add more firewood to the fire pit.
Huanhuan was afraid of the cold. The fire in the charcoal pit could not die. It had to burn brightly.
When he passed by Xuan Wei, he suddenly heard him ask, “Are you a demon?”
Sang Ye stopped and turned to look at Xuan Wei with a cold gaze. “So what?”
Xuan Wei’s strength far exceeded that of ordinary beasts, and his sensitivity to the demon race was also higher than ordinary people’s. The moment he saw Sang Ye, he had already sensed the aura of the demon race from Sang Ye.
It was a very weak aura that ordinary beasts could not sense at all.
Xuan Wei sized him up, his eyes filled with scrutiny. “Huanhuan actually accepted a demon as her mate. Isn’t she afraid of something happening?”
“This is our family matter. You don’t have to worry about it.”
Sang Ye ignored him and walked straight over. He placed the firewood in his hand into the fire pit and pulled out the bird eggs buried under the charcoal.
Snake beasts were naturally afraid of fire. No matter how careful he was, his fingers were still burned.
Xuan Wei had been observing him from a distance. Seeing his actions, he suddenly said, “I remember who you are. You’re Wen Shi’s grandson, right?”
Wen Shi was the former high priest of the Dark Moon Temple and Sang Ye’s grandfather.
Sang Ye had not heard this name in a long time. He couldn’t help but be stunned when he heard it.
He carefully wrapped the roasted eggs and replied casually, “Yes.”
“Since you’re Wen Shi’s grandson, he must have told you stories about your parents?”
Sang Ye glanced at him and asked, “What are you trying to say?”
“Your father was an envoy of the temple. Your mother was a demon. They gave birth to you. Back then, this news spread throughout the entire beast continent. Your father was called a traitor. Even your grandfather was implicated. He was almost removed from his position as high priest and reduced to a sinner.”
Sang Ye lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Xuan Wei sighed meaningfully. “Since you know how much your parents have gone through to be together, you should understand even more that there’s no future for demons who get together with ordinary beasts.”
