345: Chapter 21 "You're amazing."

"You are amazing."

"What do I want?" Tang Longyan tilted his head, looking at Yun Tiankai earnestly as he asked.

Yun Tiankai: 'That's not how it's played out in the movies.'

Didn't he know what he wanted himself?

Why did he have to ask her?

Was it to test her?

Fortunately, she was prepared.

"You want to build this place into a developed Tribe and want to prove yourself to the Beast King," Yun Tiankai said.

Tang Longyan's expression stirred.

Yun Tiankai curled her lips into a smile; she had guessed correctly.

She signaled for him to follow her to a large rock.

Yun Tiankai slowly unfolded the one-meter-long, half-meter-wide planning map in her hands.

Tang Longyan's attention was once again drawn to this fine paper.

He was just about to ask her again how the White Fox Tribe managed to make such fine paper.

And that pen in her hand, the words it wrote were so thin and black.

These were all worth taking back to Fourth Father so he could find skilled craftsmen to study them properly.

But he was immediately captivated by the map drawn on the paper.

He had seen Yun Tiankai drawing a map on paper yesterday and thought she just wanted to simply understand this island.

He didn't expect that she had actually made a complete plan!

She, a Female Beastman, actually knew how to plan a deserted island...

Yun Tiankai pointed at the map: "Yesterday, I discussed it with the Female Beastmen for the whole night, and we decided to choose this place as the living area for the Longyan Tribe."

"Longyan Tribe?" Tang Longyan repeated, thinking he had misheard.

"Yeah!" Yun Tiankai nodded. "Since it's a Tribe you established, it should naturally be named after you.

The beastmen in the Tribe come from different races, so if it were named after your race, it wouldn't be very standard."

As Yun Tiankai spoke, she glanced at him again and saw that Tang Longyan didn't seem to care much, his eyes completely focused on the planning map she had unfolded.

He casually picked up a few small stones to weigh down the map, his finger pointing to an area in the southeast of the Barren Continent.

"This is where the beastmen often hunt; we call it the Hunting Grounds for short.

The natural lake here is the only source of drinking water on the Barren Continent.

You should know that."

She looked at Tang Longyan again.

The water used by the beastmen at the gathering place was all brought from here by Tang Longyan.

Tang Longyan met Yun Tiankai's gaze and nodded.

He was as obedient as a primary school student listening attentively, waiting for her to continue.

Yun Tiankai continued: "We will build the Tribe right next to the lake; we can reach the Hunting Grounds by going around from here.

Behind the Tribe, one side is grassland, and the other faces the sea.

When food is scarce, we can go fishing in the sea.

We can grow some grain and fruits and vegetables on the grassland, which can also meet the basic needs of the beastmen."

With one hand pointing at the map and the other pointing toward the specific location on the Barren Continent below the mountain peak.

Tang Longyan listened carefully and nodded in agreement.

This area was also one he had taken a fancy to early on.

But considering that the Male Beastmen on the Barren Continent were almost all very dangerous to Female Beastmen.

The Male Beastmen have to go hunting in the Hunting Grounds every day; leaving the Female Beastmen near here is equivalent to placing prey at the hunter's doorstep.

"But it is very dangerous for Female Beastmen here," Tang Longyan said.

Yun Tiankai shook her head and continued: "If we want to establish a Tribe, naturally we cannot have only Female Beastmen; we must let Male Beastmen join in."

Upon hearing this, Tang Longyan frowned in confusion.

How can they join in?

The Male Beastmen and Female Beastmen of the Barren Continent are in a state of incompatibility.

Before coming here, each of his fathers told him that unless it was an absolute last resort, he must not harm the beastmen here, and certainly not take their lives.

But without using force, how was he supposed to change the ideas of the Male Beastmen here and make them obediently protect and serve the Female Beastmen?

"The Male Beastmen here are too dangerous for the Female Beastmen," Tang Longyan reminded her tactfully.

He suddenly remembered the situation when he first saw Yun Tiankai.

That Male Beastman was tearing at her clothes, wanting to... with her.

At the time, he didn't think much of it, but now, recalling it, he suddenly felt a surge of anger in his chest.

But seeing that Yun Tiankai seemed completely unbothered, she actually still wanted to live with the Male Beastmen?

Had she forgotten what happened that day?

Yun Tiankai saw Tang Longyan's face fall and, thinking she had said something wrong, hurriedly softened her tone.

"Don't be anxious! Just listen to me."

She patted his arm twice.

Her slightly cool little hand was like an ice cube that extinguished fire, instantly soothing Tang Longyan's mood a little.

Taking advantage of the fact that he was still willing to listen, Yun Tiankai hurriedly explained the plan she had discussed with the Female Beastmen all night.

"Of course, not just any Male Beastman can come to live in the Longyan Tribe.

I have divided the Male Beastmen on the island into two types—"

As Yun Tiankai spoke, she took out a smaller piece of paper from her space.

On the far left of the paper were the two large characters for "Male Beastman," and behind the characters, one above and one below, two little tails extended out.

Above was written "Good Male Beastman," and below was written "Bad Male Beastman."

Then, it was densely packed with writing on how to distinguish between these two types of Male Beastmen, how to treat them, how to arrange their futures, and so on.

Tang Longyan quickly finished reading it and basically understood what she meant.

"How did I not think of that..." he sighed in a low voice, his admiration for Yun Tiankai growing even deeper.

"You are amazing," he said sincerely.

Yun Tiankai was stared at intently by his admiring gaze.

She, a person who didn't usually get embarrassed, suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"It wasn't entirely my idea; it was something everyone and I thought of together," Yun Tiankai said, scratching her head.

"The Female Beastmen here are all so smart!" Tang Longyan said from the bottom of his heart.

The smartest Female Beastman he had ever met was his mother; other than that, it seemed very difficult for other Female Beastmen to achieve anything in certain areas.

Because they were naturally the side that was protected and provided for, even without putting in any effort, they could still have a very good life.

Of course, except for the Female Beastmen of the Barren Continent.

The rules here are chaotic.

Yun Tiankai stared at Tang Longyan's slightly excited expression, thinking: 'Is he always this direct when complimenting people?'

She had thought he would be the cold and aloof type, after all, he had a pair of red pupils that looked like a big villain at first glance.

The two communicated some more details and decided to implement the plan starting tomorrow.

Tang Longyan naturally also knew that Yun Tiankai didn't really want to go hunting, but rather to talk to him about this matter.

But she still gathered quite a few good things, and Tang Longyan also caught new prey.

Near noon, he appeared above the gathering place, one hand carrying a cow he had smashed to death, and the other gently holding Yun Tiankai.

With a "thud," Tang Longyan, while in mid-air, casually threw the prey onto the open ground.

Then, after he stood firmly, he carefully put Yun Tiankai down.

Yun Tiankai instantly transformed into human form and happily ran towards the Female Beastmen.

As she ran, she shouted: "Lord Longyan has agreed!"

The Female Beastmen were stunned for a second, then instantly cheered.

"That's great!"

"Thank you, Lord Longyan!"

"I can finally see my daughter!"

"My She Lin, wuwu..."

Watching the Female Beastmen cheer and hug each other, Tang Longyan finally realized that the protection he thought he had been providing them all these days—had actually brought them so much pain.

He really wasn't as smart as his siblings from birth...

The idea that Yun Tiankai and the Female Beastmen could think of in one night, he had spent months thinking about and hadn't even thought of a solution.

A sense of inferiority welled up from the bottom of his heart.

This feeling hadn't appeared for a long time since he came to the Barren Continent.

Tang Longyan turned around, intending to return to his cave.

Suddenly, Yun Tiankai's voice came from behind.

"Lord Leader, would you like to eat with us?"
