Chapter 186: Seeking Instruction at the Door

Just as the Silver Eagle Priest said, after Yun Li and the others returned to the Tribe it was already noon the next day.

But after they came back, instead of letting Yun Li rest at home, the Tribe's craftsmen came to her door.

"Didn't I say? Every afternoon I go over to answer your questions; it's morning now, what are you doing at my house?"

Yun Li was unusually idle at home that morning and hadn't gone out, so Mu Qing, seeing the craftsmen block the door, couldn't help but look displeased.

Leng Xiu, seeing them, also furrowed his brow slightly and said, "What are you looking for A Li for?"

Wasn't the matter of the new weapons fully handed over to Mu Qing by A Li?

Because Yun Li needs to study medicine, is busy figuring out how to run the Market, and also has to go out hunting to hone her skills, she can't even think about the new weapons; in a while she will also hand the Market's operations over to Leng Xiu.

After all, to keep the Market running long-term, the current things are still insufficient; Yun Li wants to create something more attractive to the Beastfolk, which means her schedule will only become busier than it is now.

"Let me speak, it's like this..."

Seeing that the two males looked displeased, Lai, the most respected young craftsman, quickly leaned toward Mu Qing's ear and explained, "Since we learned that these new weapons were conceived by Yun Li Adult, we wanted to ask Yun Li Adult exactly how she came up with making weapons this way."

"After all, we are the Tribe's craftsmen; if we can later forge even more powerful weapons ourselves, wouldn't that make the Tribe stronger as well?"

"So, hearing that Yun Li Adult hasn't left the house today, we all came over."

Frankly, they came just to leech Yun Li's ideas for new weapons.

When Mu Qing heard it was about that, he refused without hesitation, "No, A Li has her own matters to attend to; if you disturb her like this every day, she'll become exhausted."

More importantly, the female herself doesn't have much spare time to give them, so on what right do they expect her free time?

Lai was also a bit stunned, "Why? Isn't this also a good thing for the Tribe?"

"It must be a good thing for you as well, right?"

Leng Xiu said calmly from the side, "But A Li has already told the Tribe everything she knows, and for all the things you Beastfolk can't figure out, why must you come ask her?"

"What do you mean? It's not that we can't think of how to make new weapons; we just wanted to come to your females to discuss how to make them better and more suitable for our people."

"Just like the bows and arrows your family previously produced; after improvement it's obvious we made them better, right?"

An older craftsman disliked Leng Xiu's tone and immediately fell silent.

"And who knows whether those weapons were actually her idea, or perhaps Mu Qing's, but to flatter his own female he deliberately claimed the Beastfolk who made the weapons were her."

"Such a female, hum! I'm not as if I haven't seen this before."

Leng Xiu looked at the speaking old Beastfolk, a faint murderous intent surfacing in his mind, "You just said..."

"What's going on?"

Yun Li's yawning voice instantly drew Leng Xiu and the others' attention, "What are so many people crowding my house early in the morning? Don't you know you have to get the host's female's permission before coming to someone else's home?"

"Um, Yun Li Adult, we came here to discuss the new weapons with you."

Lai, fearing that the old Beastfolk behind him, who prided themselves on their skill, might say something offensive, quickly stepped forward, spreading his arms to block the craftsmen behind him and also shield Yun Li's cold stare.

If they saw it, they'd probably start arguing again.

"Didn't I hand the new weapons matter over to A Qing?"

Yun Li didn't understand what they were fussing about, "If you have something, just go straight to A Qing; why are a crowd of you coming to my house? Your voices woke me up."

"The Young Master's female is so lazy."

Behind Lai, someone—unknown—said that, and Mu Qing and Leng Xiu immediately turned to look, "What did you say!"

"None of your business!"

Yun Li, clearly not in a good mood, "What does another household's female have to do with you?"

Mu Qing also began ushering them out, "All go out; if you have business, don't crowd the courtyard, go speak elsewhere."

Even though these Beastfolk came to ask how to forge more powerful new weapons, it was obvious they lacked sincerity, and now they were still critiquing his female; it's no wonder Mu Qing couldn't tolerate them.

"Hey, wait!"

Lai still wanted to say something, but Mu Qing and Leng Xiu no longer wished to keep them in the courtyard; if they had a better attitude, they might have let it slide for the Tribe's sake, but they didn't...

"Wait, we came here, and the Priest is also aware. Even if you're the Young Master's female, you can't just drive us out!"

Hearing that they came with the Silver Eagle Priest involved, Mu Qing and Leng Xiu both frowned, and then Leng Xiu continued, urging them out:

"Even if it truly was the chief priest who summoned you, he wouldn't have told you to come straight to our house to block the door and speak to our female that way, would he?"

Yun Li's words also came from behind Leng Xiu, "Next time you come over, watch your attitude, or I'll send my Beast Husband one by one to your house to question your females properly; they know how to manage their own Beast Husband, yet they don't know to be courteous to other households' females."

Lai could say nothing now; he didn't know the situation in other households, but his own female was hot‑tempered, and if Mu Qing's female came to his house because of today's incident, he was sure he'd get beaten.

When everyone had left, Yun Li finally went to the back of the kitchen to wash up and also brought out her breakfast.

But to her surprise, when she returned she saw Lai and the two old Beastfolk back in the courtyard; Yun Li's face showed puzzlement, yet she didn't question her Beast Husband why they were still there.

Instead, after sitting down and taking a few bites, she calmly looked at the two old Beastfolk and said, "If you have anything, say it now."

Having finally gotten a moment of rest, Yun Li didn't want to waste too much time on outsiders; even though getting along with these craftsmen would be beneficial and harmless to her, now was not the time.

"We came here to learn how Yun Li Adult created those new weapons. Of course, we know the weapons were forged by your Beast Husband, but the ideas behind them were yours."

After the old Beastfolk on the left finished, the one on the right also spoke, "We're very curious how you came up with it?"

"Hmm... actually it wasn't really my idea, I guess."

When their attitude improved, Yun Li's demeanor naturally rose as well, though she naturally wouldn't claim the new weapons were known to her because she had seen them in modern times.

She earnestly gave them a reason, "You could observe more ferocious beasts; some parts on a beast are quite odd, haven't you ever wondered what purpose those growths serve?"
