296: Chapter 296 We've just settled down, and now we're going to be wandering again!

Hu Che glanced down.

He let out a miserable scream.

The next second, Xiao Yi supported him by the belly.

Hu Che hurriedly hugged Xiao Yi tightly, descending slowly with him.

"Stinky Bird! Can't you give me a heads-up before you transform?!"

Hu Che was scolding him when he saw Chief Hu Xiao jogging toward them.

Although Dragon Valley wasn't as prosperous as Red Fox City once was, it was well-ordered.

It was completely different from when Tang Ruan had last left.

Chief Hu Xiao led the group through the main gate while reporting the recent situation of Red Fox City to Hu Che.

"We've taken in a few Rogue Beasts.

Their families were murdered by traitors of the Red Fox Tribe.

But they know we aren't the same group of beastmen who harmed them, and they want to join us.

I let them stay temporarily... waiting for your approval.

Recently, someone salvaged a lot of crystals from the coast of Dragon Valley. Do you think we should send someone down to see what's going on?"

Hu Che suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He smiled and said, "You should ask the City Lord about these things!"

Chief Hu Xiao: "I am asking the City Lord..."

Hu Che pointed to himself and wagged his finger. "I'm not the City Lord."

"You are!" He said, giving him an exaggerated bow.

He turned and ran behind Xiao Yi in a flash.

Not knowing what was happening, Xiao Yi immediately spread his golden Supernatural Ability wings to block the pursuing Chief Hu Xiao.

He wanted to protect his fifth daddy.

Chief Hu Xiao looked helpless.

It seemed like Hu Che really couldn't be persuaded back.

Only after becoming the City Lord did he realize that being the City Lord was nowhere near as easy as assisting the City Lord.

Chief Hu Xiao: I really miss the old days...

The group walked into the city.

The Red Fox Tribe members who had moved here saw Hu Che and bowed enthusiastically one after another.

"Hello, City Lord!"

"City Lord!"

"Hello, City Lord!"

...

Hu Che's gaze swept over several unfamiliar faces—Wolf Tribe, Bear Tribe, Elephant Tribe, Leopard Tribe...

These must be the Rogue Beasts Chief Hu Xiao just mentioned.

Suddenly, he stopped walking.

His eyes stared straight at a beastman.

Why was there a member of the Lion Clan?

Although he knew not all Lion Clan members were bad.

But because of what happened to his brother and sister, Hu Che still held a grudge against the Lion Clan.

Many years ago, he led the Red Fox Tribe to exterminate that branch of the Lion Clan.

Hu Che's gaze lingered for a moment on the fluffy curly hair unique to Lion Clan Male Beastmen.

It shouldn't be the same branch...

Suddenly, he felt someone grab his hand.

Looking down, he saw Tang Ruan looking at him with a nervous expression.

"What's wrong?"

Tang Ruan stopped, and naturally, Fen Tian and the others stopped as well.

For a moment, everyone was looking at Hu Che.

Tang Ruan tugged at him and whispered, "Stay away from those Rogue Beasts from now on."

Hu Che: ?

Tang Ruan: "I'm afraid they'll bully you."

She remembered.

The beastmen chasing Hu Che in her dream were from these Tribes.

The dream about Hu Che hadn't happened yet.

Was it about to happen now?

Hu Che stared blankly at Tang Ruan for three seconds, then suddenly burst out laughing.

He leaned into her ear and lowered his voice, purposefully acting mysterious. "Mistress, no matter how bad I am, I'm still a Level 4 Beastman.

I won't be bullied.

Don't worry about me."

Tang Ruan: ...

True.

There weren't many Level Four Beastmen in the entire Beast Kingdom.

Then why was Hu Che bullied by these people in her dream?

Still, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Tang Ruan: "Anyway, just be on your guard against them.

They don't look like good people to me."

Hu Che was stunned again, and then he burst out laughing again.

Tang Ruan had always been generous toward beastmen; this was the first time she had been so cautious.

It must be because his Mistress loved him too much that she was worried about him being bullied.

Hu Che felt delighted in his heart and reached out to rub Tang Ruan's head.

Once Chief Hu Xiao and his group disappeared at the end of the street.

The beastmen on the street returned to their houses one after another.

The tense nerves of those Rogue Beasts finally relaxed.

"Brother Xiong, is it him?" asked a Wolf Tribe Male Beastman with withered yellow hair—Lang Qingqing.

Xiong Zhuang: "He looks like him, but... shouldn't he be dead?"

But no matter how he looked at it, he looked just like the person who attacked their Tribe.

"Brother Xiong! We only heard that they were dead; we didn't see it with our own eyes.

What if he escaped?" Bao Guozi said.

"Or are these Red Fox Tribe members lying to us?" Shi Baibai said anxiously.

Xiong Zhuang immediately glared at him. "Don't talk nonsense!

These Red Fox Tribe members aren't the same branch as the Red Fox Tribe that harmed our clansmen.

That Male Beastman probably isn't the one who killed our families that day either."

Being glared at by Xiong Da, Shi Baibai immediately stepped back.

"Even if it's not the same person, it must be the same mother!

He even looked at us just now!" Xiang Da suddenly roared loudly.

It gave everyone a fright.

Xiong Zhuang: "Then according to what you're saying, all these Red Fox Tribe members are his relatives.

We just settled down, and we have to wander again!"

Lang Qingqing: "But I feel like if I don't personally avenge my Mistress, I won't be able to swallow this!"

Shi Baibai: "Exactly, exactly!"

Xiang Da angrily transformed his head into an elephant's head and let out an angry cry.

"I want revenge, revenge!"

"So noisy! You've scared my Cub!"

Suddenly, a Red Fox Tribe Female Beastman rushed out of a small house nearby, hands on her hips, and roared, "Wait until my Beast Husband comes back to teach you a lesson!"

The tall Male Beastmen and the petite Red Fox Tribe Female Beastman looked at each other.

Thinking of her Beast Husband...

They immediately took a step back collectively and bowed. "We're sorry!!!"

Red Fox Tribe Female Beastman: ...

---

Inside Dragon Valley, the area where Long Bao and the others lived remained in its original state.

Only on this basis, the roads had been repaired, and doors and windows had been installed for the caves.

As soon as Long Bao saw Fen Tian, he hung onto his leg like an accessory.

Fen Tian had to play with him for a while first.

Tang Ruan was a bit tired from walking and didn't want to move.

Hu Che went to the hot spring to get water for her so she could take a bath in the cave later.

Tang Ruan sat in the cave, thinking it over, and still felt uneasy.

She called out to Chief Hu Xiao, who hadn't walked far yet.

"Chief Hu Xiao! I have a favor to ask of you."

Chief Hu Xiao turned around, and the thought immediately came to his mind: could the Goddess also want Hu Che to continue being the City Lord?

He replied happily, "Goddess, please speak."

Tang Ruan: "Can those Rogue Beasts be kept from living inside Dragon Valley... I mean, inside the new Red Fox City?

There are vast forests and grasslands outside the city; they can be arranged to live there.

We can also send them food regularly."

Hearing Tang Ruan say this, Chief Hu Xiao couldn't help but show a confused expression.

"Does the Goddess have a grudge against these beastmen?"

Tang Ruan: It could be considered a grudge...

In the dream, they had injured Hu Che.

But to kick people out just because of a dream.

Even in the Beast World, this reason was a bit far-fetched.

Tang Ruan: "I feel that, after all, they are carnivorous beastmen with much larger Beast Forms than the Red Fox Tribe.

I'm afraid that if one day they have a conflict with the Red Fox Tribe, something bad might happen..."

Tang Ruan didn't finish, giving Chief Hu Xiao a look to interpret for himself.

Chief Hu Xiao thought for a moment.

"I can understand the Goddess's concerns, but..." Chief Hu Xiao hesitated, seeming a bit conflicted.

Tang Ruan: "What is it?"

Chief Hu Xiao: "They are vegetarians."
