92: Chapter 92 A Temporary Solution

Tang Ruan: "?" What did he mean?

But in the blink of an eye, the expression Yan Qing wore when he looked at her was also a smirk.

Could it be that she was being too sensitive?

Meanwhile, Lang Yue, who had seen the Snake King smile at her, felt her heart pounding with excitement.

The Snake King smiled at her?

Moreover, he had deliberately emphasized in front of her that there was a map she could use to find him.

He would be staying in that place called Wan Shou City for a while.

That map must have been left for her!

Because the Marmot Tribe said they wouldn't be leaving.

He must have been concerned about the presence of so many Beastmen and wanted to maintain his image as a King.

Also, he hadn't figured out how to get rid of Tang Ruan yet.

That was why he deliberately left such a signal for her.

It must be so...

Lang Yue's mind was already filled with fantasies of killing Tang Ruan and spending every night entangled with the Snake King.

Once she became the Snake King's Mistress.

Everything of his would be hers...

---

Yan Qing's Beast Form was incredibly fast, and he returned to Wan Shou City with Tang Ruan that very day.

The Beastmen he had brought to Dongdong Valley were responsible for escorting the Wolf Tribe to the grasslands and handling the subsequent resettlement work.

As soon as he returned, several Beastmen emerged from the caves near the Snake Kings Cave to welcome him.

Tang Ruan recognized at a glance that they must be Yan Qing's city lords.

While the city lords were powerful, their looks were generally not low either.

Among them was a Female Beastman.

She had a slender figure, snow-white skin, a pair of watery red eyes, pink cheeks, and small lips that looked glossy.

Tang Ruan found her lovely just by looking at her.

She recognized her immediately.

"She should be from the Rabbit Tribe, right?"

She Ming, standing beside her, had a face that flushed red beneath his dark complexion, "Right... so cute..."

The Rabbit Tribe city lord heard his voice and turned her face.

A sharp glint shot from her eyes.

It startled She Ming and Tang Ruan into standing up straight immediately.

Tang Ruan: "Such a fierce rabbit."

She Ming: "So fierce, so cute!"

Another, older city lord walked over and said with a chuckle, "Don't be afraid. Rabbit Lady is here to file a complaint today, so she's a bit emotional."

"A complaint?"

"It's because most of the Rabbit Tribe's Female Beastmen are very beautiful, while the Male Beastmen have little ability, so more and more Rabbit Tribe..."

Tang Ruan perked up her ears, her gossiping heart just stirring.

"Come in!"

In the distance, a cold voice from Yan Qing interrupted the city lord's gossip.

Tang Ruan and She Ming looked eagerly at his retreating back. So... what happened?

"Tang Ruan, come here."

Yan Qing suddenly called out to her.

Tang Ruan was stunned, then hurriedly ran over.

Entering the cave where Yan Qing often held meetings, she realized that his stone chair had been replaced with a larger one. It could easily seat two people.

Yan Qing sat down on the stone chair and beckoned to her, "Sit beside me."

Her? Was he asking her to participate in politics? She didn't know how, nor did she want to get involved!

With her brain, it was better to research how to make sure everyone ate and drank well.

But with so many Beastmen watching, Tang Ruan couldn't well refuse Yan Qing's face. She obediently sat down next to him.

Yan Qing didn't say anything more and spoke to the city lords as if no one else was there.

The first city lord's city was experiencing a drought, and the Beastmen had to travel very far to find water. Naturally, they couldn't plant the plants Tang Ruan had cultivated. Therefore, this further caused a famine.

In Tang Ruan's mind, digging wells and irrigation immediately appeared. She hadn't seen any water wells in the Beast World; they seemed accustomed to relying on the weather for their food.

Although irrigation was a large project, if they found a few High-level Beastmen to use their Supernatural Ability to work together, it shouldn't be difficult.

Another city lord had taken over a city that Yan Qing had recently conquered. Many Beastmen in the city were injured, and a sudden snowstorm recently caused many to fall ill. The Witch Doctor was so busy he had fainted, and there were complaints everywhere, making it impossible to appease them.

Tang Ruan listened, and in fact, none of it was a serious illness. But if dragged on, it would become very serious.

Treatment plans for common illnesses appeared in her mind. Although the Beast World had no written language, she could draw them out and make a treatment manual. She could even make specimens of every herb and clip them into the manual. This way, basic illnesses could be treated without a Witch Doctor. It would greatly speed up the treatment process.

...

It was the Rabbit Tribe leader's turn. She stepped forward, knelt on the ground with a "bang," and kowtowed to Yan Qing first. When she raised her head, a patch on her fair, tender forehead was red.

It looked painful to Tang Ruan; she was certainly sincere. She Ming, standing beside her, felt so much heartache that he started curling his toes.

"Snake King, please help the Rabbit Tribe!" the Rabbit Lady cried out with tears in her eyes. She looked pitiful and endearing.

Tang Ruan subconsciously looked at Yan Qing's expression; his face was calm and unruffled. His tone was terrifyingly cold, "Speak if you have something to say. If your only skill is crying, then I will replace you with a city lord who doesn't cry."

The Rabbit Lady's tears stopped immediately. She reached out and pointed at the city lords standing to the side, saying angrily, "It's all their fault; my Rabbit Tribe is almost empty now!"

Finally, it was the part Tang Ruan was curious about; she perked up her ears and listened carefully.

It turned out that because the Rabbit Tribe's Female Beastmen had strong reproductive abilities and short gestation periods, they were deeply loved by Male Beastmen in the Beast World. At first, the Rabbit Lady encouraged the Rabbit Tribe's Female Beastmen to take in Beast Husbands from other tribes. She thought this could increase the number of Rabbit Tribe members. At the same time, the Rabbit Tribe was relatively weak in the Beast World, and having these Beast Husbands added a layer of strength.

But these foreign Beast Husbands were superior to the Rabbit Tribe's Male Beastmen in every aspect. This made the Rabbit Tribe's Female Beastmen very satisfied. They then took the opportunity to introduce other males from their own tribes to mate with their Mistresss. In the end, the Rabbit Tribe's Female Beastmen were all so happy they forgot their home. Under the coaxing of the foreign Beast Husbands, they all followed them to their respective tribes. Half a year passed, and the number of Rabbit Tribe Beastmen decreased instead of increasing. If this continued, the Rabbit Tribe would become an empty city.

The other city lords held back their laughter after hearing her finish. One young Male Beastman said, "The main problem is that the Rabbit Tribe's males are too incompetent!"

The Rabbit Lady shot a sharp glare at him. The city lord shut his mouth. He thought to himself, "So cute!"

"Then I will make a rule: anyone who enters a contract with the Rabbit Tribe must settle in Rabbit City."

The Rabbit Tribe leader looked at Yan Qing with sparkling eyes immediately. She kowtowed to him again. "Thank you, Snake King! Thank you, Snake King!"

A city lord stepped forward, unconvinced, "Lord Snake King, this way, the Rabbit Tribe's Female Beastmen won't be able to take the males they like as Beast Husbands." There were quite a few Rabbit Tribe Female Beastmen in their cities, and increasing the number of Beastmen depended entirely on them!

Yan Qing turned his gaze to him. The city lord immediately stepped back and lowered his head.

Yan Qing said, "If a male cannot live in Rabbit City for the sake of his Mistress, then it proves he doesn't actually want to be her Beast Husband that much. Also..." He turned to the Rabbit Lady. "Tell the Rabbit Tribe's Female Beastmen that taking Beast Husbands is not a trivial matter."

The Rabbit Lady said happily, "As you command, Lord Snake King!"

Tang Ruan felt like she had been called out. Shouldn't this matter have passed already? She hadn't successfully taken Lang Mo as a Beast Husband. But Yan Qing had promised to help Lang Mo get rid of Lang Yue. How exactly did he plan to help him? He hadn't revealed it yet.

Also, why did he have to smile at Lang Yue! Could it be that his way of helping Lang Mo was to seduce Lang Yue, making Lang Yue voluntarily despise Lang Mo?

Tang Ruan suddenly felt this was possible. She looked at the back of the Rabbit Lady who had already retreated. The Rabbit Lady was so beautiful, yet Yan Qing hadn't given her a single smile. Yet he smiled at Lang Yue! He... surely wouldn't sacrifice his looks like that...

The more Tang Ruan thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. Thinking that Lang Yue might be fantasizing about Yan Qing right now, she wished she could go and tear her apart...

"What do you think about the matters discussed today?" Yan Qing suddenly spoke up.

"How could you smile at her!" Tang Ruan blurted out.

After saying it, she immediately covered her mouth. Fortunately, She Ming had gone to see the city lords off, otherwise, it would have been awkward.

Yan Qing stared at her for two seconds. He leaned back, found a comfortable position, rested against the stone chair, and propped his head with one hand. "A temporary expedient."
