Chapter 190: Three Years Later

Three years later, more than twenty kilometers from the Silver Eagle Tribe, a pack of beastmen was slowly marching toward the Silver Eagle Tribe.

"Father, are we about to reach the Silver Eagle Tribe? I heard the tribe has not only exquisite clothing, but also paper and brushes for writing, plus lots of pottery, umbrellas, bamboo crafts that many beastmen love… Ahhh! Just thinking about it makes me so excited!"

The small she-beast, who didn't look very big, spoke of her long‑cherished longing for the Silver Eagle Tribe, her face full of happy joy.

"Father! Father! When we get there, we'll bring back lots of things for Mother and our brothers to see!"

"Alright, alright, alright! We'll do as you say."

Just as the male finished speaking, a beast roar seemed to come from not far away, and the sound instantly put the male and the other beastmen on guard; all the beastmen stood up and shielded the younger ones in the center of the pack.

As the roar grew more mournful, the beastmen realized someone was hunting over there, but for safety they didn't rush to send anyone to check.

When the noise finally seemed to vanish, the male exchanged a glance with a companion and, in silent agreement, took his stone spear and headed that way.

"Who?"

Sensing someone approaching, Yun Li, now a Green‑rank beastman, quickly turned back, saw two unfamiliar Yellow‑rank beastmen, and her furrowed brows instantly relaxed; she turned to the two cubs still gathered around the slain beast and said:

"Lengao, Lengshuang, come here; don't get in the way of your father handling the beast."

As the head of the family, Lengao heard the words and instantly turned his head, "Got it, Mother; we won't hinder Father."

But even though he said that, the other one still clung tightly behind Leng Xiao, showing no intention of leaving.

In the next moment, his sister Lengshuang grabbed his collar and dragged him toward Yun Li.

"Mother told us to come over; don't pretend you didn't hear."

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't pull me—I'm really not going to get in Father's way."

Lengao was truly impressed by his sister; what could he possibly hinder Father while just standing there?

Besides, they followed Father and Mother out precisely to learn the various hunting techniques; how could they learn anything without watching from the side?

"Standing there is already getting in the way."

After speaking, Lengshuang released her grip, and her gaze, like Mother's, fell on the two suddenly appearing unfamiliar beastmen.

"Who are you?"

When the small she-beast, only waist‑high to them, asked, the two males glanced at each other, and one male cautiously said, "We are beastmen from the Yellow Mountain Tribe; what about you?"

"We are beastmen of the Silver Eagle Tribe."

Lengshuang looked at their attire with a hint of curiosity and asked, "Are you heading to our tribe?"

"Eh?"

Lengao, hearing this, instantly shifted his attention, "They're also going to our tribe?"

"Yes!"

Lengshuang replied, then turned to Yun Li, "Mother!"

Sensing her cubs' thoughts, Yun Li withdrew her scrutiny of the two beastmen, gave them a gentle smile, and said, "If you're heading to our tribe, we're not far from it; if you don't mind, we can go together later."

The two beastmen hadn't expected such a pleasant offer, but the decision wasn't theirs alone, and they also didn't know whether Yun Li's beastmen were good or bad.

So the male on the left hesitated, stepped forward and said, "We'll probably need to discuss this with everyone."

"Of course."

Yun Li could hardly be unaware of their concerns; the weaker they are, the more cautious they must be, otherwise they wouldn't have made it this far.

After they left, she saw Lengshuang's little face still tense and chuckled, "They don't know us; when I suggest walking together, they'll surely hesitate for safety."

"But we're not some bad beastmen."

Being turned down twice in one day left Lengshuang feeling quite uneasy.

She was simply curious about the little‑tribe beastmen and wanted to see them, but they clearly knew her family were Silver Eagle Tribe beastmen yet still rejected them.

Yun Li reached out, patted her head, and said helplessly, "You're in the tribe; you can still see those beastmen, can't you?"

Lengshuang pressed her lips together and said nothing.

In fact, she had heard Mother and Father were once beastmen from a small tribe, so she wanted to see what those little‑tribe beastmen were like.

But in the tribe, those little‑tribe beastmen were especially courteous to the cubs, even when cubs were nearby, they would ask their own cubs not to offend Lengshuang or anyone.

It was rare to go out, and then they met little‑tribe beastmen heading to their own tribe; driven by curiosity, Lengshuang tried to approach, only to be rejected repeatedly.

"If sister really wants to befriend the little‑tribe cubs, we could sneak down the mountain when we get back..."

Before Lengao could finish, Yun Li pinched his ear and said, "Lengao, what are you saying? Say it to me again."

He actually tried to incite Lengshuang to go out and cause trouble with him!

"Mother! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Father, hurry and save me!"

"Serves you right!"

Facing his male cub's plea, Leng Xiao merely glanced at his own she‑beast and said a cold, dismissive remark.

Yun Li, confronted with this overly lively cub, was speechless.

She hadn't even given her a proper name!

Releasing her, Yun Li warned Lengshuang, "Don't listen to your brother's nonsense; cubs may not go down the mountain at night. Even if you know a little‑tribe beastman and want to befriend her, don't visit at night unless an adult accompanies you down."

As for Lengao, she didn't bother reminding him; even if she did, he might not listen. Fortunately he's sharp, so even if he sneaks down at night, he'd still give someone a heads‑up first.

Otherwise she would have already slapped him; he's too mischievous, always causing chaos with his siblings and keeping the house restless.

Lengshuang gave a "hm" and then followed Mother to the slain beast's corpse, listening as she explained to him and his brother how to dissect the creature.

Meanwhile, after the two beastmen returned to the pack, they reported the encounter with the Silver Eagle Tribe beastmen to their companions.

"Follow! We'll go with them!"

Their companions, thrilled by the news, seized the two beastmen, clarified the details they'd seen, and immediately made a decision.

We must go!

After all, the Yellow Earth Tribe is just a small tribe of a few dozen beastmen; if it weren't for trading for life‑saving herbs, they wouldn't have traveled so far to the Silver Eagle Tribe.

After being on edge for so long, they finally met the Silver Eagle Tribe; anyone who doesn't go with them would be a fool.

Yun Li saw the seven or eight beastmen who had suddenly appeared, among them a neatly dressed little female, and she also raised an eyebrow.

Fine!

Now her A-Shuang's wish could finally be fulfilled!
