The excavation work for the moat lasted about a month. During this time, there was, of course, the management of the fields planted within the tribe, hunting trips to the Chishui River, and various activities such as taking swimming lessons while hunting.<\/span><\/p>

After Ahxu had delivered the message to the people of the Lion-Wolf Tribe, a few people whom Chen Qi did not recognize returned with him that day.<\/span><\/p>

Azhang led the group into an office not far from the city gate. After talking for most of the day and giving them a brief tour of the tribe, they left.<\/span><\/p>

It wasn’t until he delivered dinner to everyone in the evening that Chen Qi found out they were beastmen from the Lion-Wolf Tribe.<\/span><\/p>

“Are they coming here to attend the gathering too?” Ake asked with a frown. Ever since the Rock-Mountain Tribe merged with the Lion-Wolf Tribe, he hadn\u2019t had a good impression of them.<\/span><\/p>

Azhang didn\u2019t immediately inform the rest of the tribe about the matter. Instead, he pulled Chen Qi, Aze, Ake, and a few elder females who helped manage affairs into a discussion.<\/span><\/p>

Ahxu, who had brought the people from the Lion-Wolf Tribe back, interjected and said, “Before they left, Aming and Ayan seemed to have mentioned in the Lion-Wolf Tribe that this year’s gathering would be held in Qi Ze City, so they decided to send some of their people to attend as well.”<\/span><\/p>

“I’m afraid it’s not just for trading goods, but for the males from other tribes,” Ake said slowly, casting a sideways glance at them.<\/span><\/p>

Ahxu awkwardly rubbed his nose.<\/span><\/p>

The annual gathering was also known as the yearly matchmaking event, and it was usually attended by females who were looking for a mate. Because the Lion-Wolf Tribe had a large population, it naturally had the highest number of single males among the nearby tribes. Once a male found a mate from another tribe, he would usually ask them to stay in his own tribe, which not only increased the population but also strengthened the tribe\u2019s fighting power.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

However, not all females who took a liking to someone were willing to move to the male\u2019s tribe. If the male also didn\u2019t want to leave his own tribe, then the partnership wouldn\u2019t happen. Last year, Ale didn\u2019t find a mate for this very reason\u2014he didn\u2019t want to stay in the Lion-Wolf Tribe.<\/span><\/p>

At this year’s gathering, the Flame-Hill Tribe and the Salt-Water Tribe clearly planned to send out their males. The Salt-Water Tribe was known for having the most males, but the beastmen had a strong sense of belonging to their tribes. Even though the females were eager to find a mate, they didn\u2019t want to leave their tribe. So, despite the Salt-Water Tribe having more males than the other tribes, there were still quite a few single males.<\/span><\/p>

But this time, the Salt-Water Tribe and Flame-Hill Tribe clearly planned to send their males away from their own tribes. This was not only a pleasant surprise for the females of the Lion-Wolf Tribe, but also a huge temptation for the smaller tribes around them. Once the news got out, it was likely that they would change the location of this year\u2019s gathering to Qi Ze City.<\/span><\/p>

In Qi Ze City, Ale was the only female who had just come of age and didn\u2019t have a mate yet. The others, like Ahxu, were around the same age as Ali, at least seventy or eighty years old, and had long given up on finding a mate.<\/span><\/p>

When they first heard that the people from those two tribes were bringing males over, the single females, although they appeared happy on the surface like everyone else, didn\u2019t seem particularly enthusiastic about it. Even though Qi Ze City had introduced many new and interesting things, they didn\u2019t believe that Qi Ze City could convince the males from other tribes to stay.<\/span><\/p>

“What do you think?” Azhang turned and asked Chen Qi.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi was taken aback for a moment. “Are you hoping that the males will be attracted to our females and willingly stay?”<\/span><\/p>

Azhang nodded. Although the others had already given up on finding a mate, this time, with the Salt-Water Tribe and Flame-Hill Tribe bringing males over, Azhang didn\u2019t want the beastmen who had struggled alongside him in the wilderness for years to miss this opportunity. If they could manage to keep one or two males, it would help the tribe develop. Otherwise, once this generation of females passed away and returned to the Beast God\u2019s embrace, Qi Ze City would likely follow the same fate as the former Rock-Mountain Tribe\u2014waiting slowly for its demise.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi thought for a moment. “To make them willingly stay, we need to show them something worth staying for.”<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

“We don’t lack food, we don’t lack houses to live in, and the city walls are sufficient to ensure our safety to some extent. The only thing we’re lacking is protectors for the tribe. The Lion-Wolf Tribe also has enough food, houses, and natural defenses, and they have more people than us, so their safety is far better than ours with just a few dozen people. Their females are also younger and stronger. If we want the males to choose us, it depends on whether our females have enough charm to outshine those from other tribes,” Ake shrugged. Although he also wanted to increase the tribe’s population, he clearly didn\u2019t have much faith that the few single females in their tribe, who were already middle-aged, could attract younger males.<\/span><\/p>

Ahxu slightly furrowed his brows, feeling a bit awkward. At his age, he had long since stopped thinking about finding a mate. When he had heard that Azhang and Ali had actually become mates, he had been quite surprised. He had even secretly wondered if, fearing living alone, he could do the same as Azhang and find a female to be with.<\/span><\/p>

Azhang looked at Chen Qi, hoping to hear his opinion. If the Flame-Hill Tribe were to merge with them, he didn\u2019t want the males from the other tribe to be taken by other tribes. But it was also impossible to stop other tribes from attending the gathering.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi pondered for a moment and then replied, “It\u2019s not impossible to make the males from other tribes like our females, but I\u2019ll need to think about how to go about it.”<\/span><\/p>

Upon hearing Chen Qi’s answer, Azhang let out a sigh of relief. He knew that this response meant Chen Qi already had some idea of how to proceed.<\/span><\/p>

“Since the males are coming, they\u2019ll need somewhere to stay, right? We don’t have ancestral houses to accommodate them. We can’t keep assigning them to stay in each female’s home like we are now, can we?” Acheng interjected. While the females could manage to make do on the school playground, the males couldn\u2019t be treated the same way.<\/span><\/p>

“I plan to build a few more empty houses to accommodate them,” Azhang replied.<\/span><\/p>

“You can build them on the vacant land next to the school. That area is empty now.”<\/span><\/p>

\u201c<\/span>En<\/span><\/i>, that’s what I was thinking too. Chen Qi, do you have any suggestions regarding the housing plan?”<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi pondered for a moment. “I’ll draw up the design plans and then discuss the details of the houses with you.” He couldn\u2019t think of any good ideas for it at the moment.<\/span><\/p>

Azhang nodded. The group discussed a few more details before returning to their work.<\/span><\/p>

The moat was dug to a depth of six or seven meters and a width of nearly ten meters. At this size, even an adult stegosaurus would be easily trapped.<\/span><\/p>

When they first dug to a depth of four or five meters, water began to seep up from the riverbed, but by the next day, it was dried up once the sun came out. The excavated soil was neatly piled up at the base of the city wall, and by the time they were done, it had reached half the height of the wall. It looked almost like there was an additional earthen wall. The original city wall, when viewed from a distance, now seemed a bit short. Chen Qi then suggested raising the wall by a few more meters.<\/span><\/p>

Looking at the final result, Chen Qi couldn\u2019t help but feel relieved that he had intentionally left enough space when planning the tribe’s area. Otherwise, with such a tall city wall standing, a small area would likely feel very cramped and oppressive.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Construction of the houses for the males began once the moat was completed. Azhang led a group to bring back all the stone slabs from the former Rock-Mountain Tribe. Half of the houses had already been torn down for the construction of the tribe earlier, and this time, they demolished the remaining half of the tribe\u2019s buildings, leaving no stone not upturned, not even the rubble underground. What had once been a chaotic and cluttered tribe was completely erased from the plain, transforming into a barren lot. If it weren\u2019t for the lonely Rock Mountain still standing, no one would have known that a tribe had once existed here.<\/span><\/p>

The houses were built in two rows, back-to-back. Each house wasn\u2019t very large, with one main room and two small rooms. The small rooms were designated as the washroom and kitchen, while the main room had six neatly arranged wooden beds, resembling a modern student dormitory.<\/span><\/p>

Each row of houses had about ten units, and with both rows combined, there were twenty houses. The ones near the road were designated for the males, while the ones at the back were for the females. Since the school\u2019s playground next door had no walls, the two rows of houses looked rather empty and desolate on the sides.<\/span><\/p>

Since they needed to consider how to make the middle-aged females of Qi Ze City appealing to the males, Chen Qi was involved in the early planning of the dormitory construction. After that, he left the rest of the work entirely to Azhang.<\/span><\/p>

At the moment, he was turning over a huge antelope-dragon horn and looking at it. During the dinner break, Aze brought Chen Qi’s meal back from the school. Recently, the tribe had been eating together, so the hunting spoils were all placed in the school\u2019s cooking classroom. Without fresh meat at home, they had stopped cooking at home.<\/span><\/p>

Seeing Aze come in, Chen Qi quickly waved at him. “Aze, could you help me cut this horn?”<\/span><\/p>

Aze took it from him. The antelope-dragon horn was large, but very light, and its texture was extremely hard. Chen Qi had tried using a dragon-horn knife several times, but it only left shallow scratches on the surface, unable to cut through it at all. To avoid damaging his knife, he had no choice but to hand it over to Aze to handle.<\/span><\/p>

Even the females’ sharp claws didn\u2019t make it easy to break this thing. After spending a good ten minutes, Aze finally cut the required length and handed it to Chen Qi. When he saw Chen Qi planning to continue fiddling with the antelope-dragon horn, Aze took it back with one swift motion and set it aside. “Let’s eat first, then we can continue.”<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi smiled and leaned over to kiss the corner of Aze’s mouth. “Alright.”<\/span><\/p>

After Ayao was carried home by Ka Luo to eat rice porridge, Ajing took over Ka Luo\u2019s tasks\u2014washing dishes, cleaning utensils, and tidying up the cooking classroom. Although he was young, his movements were sharp, neat, and efficient, without hesitation.<\/span><\/p>

The little wolf cub glanced around at the people who had finished eating and were continuing to work. Slowly, it stood up. It wagged its fluffy tail, glanced at Ajing, and then backed up to the door. Using the dim light from the streetlamp, it ran towards the city gate.<\/span><\/p>

The city gate wouldn\u2019t close at night, and there was only a wooden plank bridge over the moat strong enough to support the weight of the beastmen. There were always guards stationed at the lookout tower throughout the day, so there was no concern about dragons barging in. However, the guards clearly hadn\u2019t anticipated someone would be leaving the city gate at this time. The little wolf cub was quick, and as soon as the guards turned to look the other way, it darted across the plank bridge and disappeared into the tall grass nearby, vanishing from sight.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
