The mother wild horse\u2014whether because she knew she couldn\u2019t escape or simply because her temperament was naturally docile\u2014became a little affectionate toward Chen Qi after he used herbal poultices to bandage the wound on her neck.<\/span><\/p>

However, she still disliked the foal. Even though only she and the foal had fallen into the beastmen\u2019s hands, she still wouldn\u2019t allow the little one to come within half a step of her.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi, on the other hand, was very fond of the beautiful foal. But the young horse was extremely shy\u2014terrified of strangers. The moment a beastman approached, it would struggle uneasily. Having no choice, Chen Qi could only suppress his urge to get closer to it for now.<\/span><\/p>

With the mother wild horse, Chen Qi tied several large items of luggage onto her back. The bags of snow goose eggs, however, were carried by the beastmen themselves. Those eggs were fragile\u2014if the mare suddenly kicked up her hooves and bolted, Chen Qi worried they would all be smashed.<\/span><\/p>

Because they had taken time to catch the wild horses, the group stayed an extra night on the plains and didn\u2019t return to the tribe until midday the next day.<\/span><\/p>

As soon as Chen Qi entered the city gate, before he even had time to bring the luggage home, Azhang had already sent someone to call him over to the meeting room nearby.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cGive me the bags. You go see what\u2019s going on.\u201d Ake gestured for Chen Qi to hand over the pack on his back and had Aze accompany him.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi was also worried that Azhang might need to discuss something important with him. After passing the items to Ake, he instructed him not to let the two horses near the crops in the yard, then pulled Aze along and left.<\/span><\/p>

There were already many people seated in the meeting room. Because of the heat, the doors and windows were wide open. From the courtyard entrance, Chen Qi could already sense the heavy atmosphere inside.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cChen Qi, you\u2019re here.\u201d Seeing the two enter, Azhang\u2019s long-furrowed brows finally relaxed somewhat. He motioned for them to sit in the empty chairs beside Ahxu.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Chen Qi hadn\u2019t expected Ayan to be back again after leaving for only a few days\u2014and sitting beside him was a tall beastman Chen Qi didn\u2019t recognize. It wasn\u2019t hard to guess that Ayan had brought him. The beastman clearly knew a bit about Chen Qi. When he noticed Chen Qi\u2019s gaze fall on their group, he gave a slight nod. His beautiful, thin lips curled into a friendly smile.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cHello. My name is Axiang, chief of the Lion-Wolf Tribe.\u201d The tall man\u2019s voice was low. Once Chen Qi and Aze were seated, he introduced himself first.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi hurriedly stated his own name, then looked uncertainly at Azhang seated at the head of the room, not understanding why the chief of the Lion-Wolf Tribe would come to Qi Ze City at this time.<\/span><\/p>

The Lion-Wolf Tribe of today was nothing like it had been last year. When Chen Qi first arrived in this world, the Lion-Wolf Tribe was a fairly large tribe with fewer than two thousand people. But after last winter\u2019s appearance of the hyena-drakes, many tribes along the Dosa River had merged into the Lion-Wolf Tribe. Now, their population was easily over ten thousand. Many of those who merged in didn\u2019t even have enough space to build houses and had ended up constructing their homes out on the plains.<\/span><\/p>

Azhang cleared his throat and glanced at the smiling Axiang, then at Ayan beside him. Ayan scratched his nose awkwardly before speaking on Axiang\u2019s behalf, \u201cWhy don\u2019t you first explain our purpose to Chen Qi? He needs to understand before he can decide.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cYou\u2019re saying\u2026 you want me to go to the Lion-Wolf Tribe?\u201d Chen Qi frowned as he listened to their explanation. After going over it several times in his mind, he finally asked in a strained voice.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWe\u2019re not asking you to join our tribe\u2014just to teach our people how to arrange defensive structures this summer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Ayan hurried to clarify. \u201cLast time, even faced with such a massive hyena-drake attack, your tribe managed to avoid any casualties. We know that was largely thanks to you. And although Qi Ze City taught us a lot during last year\u2019s gathering, for which we\u2019re truly grateful, the things we learned still differ greatly from how you applied them in reality.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Thinking of how their tribe had been battered by the sudden rush of melting ice water at the end of winter, Ayan\u2019s expression shifted from slight embarrassment to earnest pleading.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cYou know our situation\u2014after absorbing all those tribes, the Lion-Wolf Tribe now has far too many people. Those rocky mountains alone can\u2019t accommodate everyone anymore. The hyena-drakes didn\u2019t attack us last time mainly because the ice wall stopped them, and because our numbers were roughly equal. But no one knows if the next swarm will be even larger. If the Lion-Wolf Tribe is destroyed by hyena-drakes, then only your small Qi Ze City will remain in this region.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\u201cSo this time, we\u2019ve come to ask you to help us set up the tribe\u2019s defenses. Of course, we\u2019re willing to trade with Qi Ze City. As long as your requests are within our ability, you can ask for anything.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

When Ayan began to speak, Aze\u2019s face immediately turned pale. He reached under the table and grabbed Chen Qi\u2019s wrist. Beastmen were free to move between tribes; there were no rules restricting their comings and goings. Although Chen Qi was a male, the things he invented could save countless beastmen\u2019s lives.<\/span><\/p>

Aze understood Chen Qi very well. He knew that everything Chen Qi created was for the sake of improving beastmen\u2019s lives\u2014so they wouldn\u2019t have to risk injury or death just to hunt or defend against dragon attacks.<\/span><\/p>

The Lion-Wolf Tribe had so many people. Their numbers gave them strength, yet their casualties each year were still significant.<\/span><\/p>

If Chen Qi went there, he could definitely save many beastmen.<\/span><\/p>

Then\u2026 would Chen Qi\u2026 go?<\/span><\/p>

Before Aze could sort through the panic in his mind, the person beside him had already turned his hand over and clasped it tightly. Chen Qi\u2019s palm was warm and slightly sweaty, wrapping around Aze\u2019s icy fingertips.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cSorry, but I won\u2019t be able to agree to your request.\u201d Chen Qi rejected Ayan\u2019s proposal without the slightest hesitation.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cMay I ask why?\u201d Axiang didn\u2019t show any displeasure at being refused. His gentle smile remained unchanged.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI still have many things that need to be done this summer. I don\u2019t have time to leave Qi Ze City.\u201d Chen Qi gave Aze\u2019s hand a reassuring squeeze before standing and walking to a nearby shelf. On it were the design drawings he had completed earlier\u2014things that were never meant to be kept secret.<\/span><\/p>

He spread several of the drawings out on the table. After glancing at Azhang and receiving his approval, Chen Qi began explaining his plans for the coming summer to the beastmen from the Lion-Wolf Tribe.<\/span><\/p>

Aside from adding a few new defensive structures, the main tasks for this summer were building the warm houses and domesticating animals.<\/span><\/p>

The animals only stayed on the plains for a very short period of time. If they failed to tame them this summer, they would have to wait another two years.<\/span><\/p>

Everyone knew that the forest was extremely unstable now. Hunting deep inside had become dangerously life-threatening.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Meat was still the primary food source for beastmen. Females especially relied on meat to sustain their strength. Chen Qi had observed before that eating only fish or plants for months left the females weak. There had been a reason beastmen never ate fish in the past\u2014fish could keep them alive, but not strong.<\/span><\/p>

If they hadn\u2019t luckily come across several groups of hydrochoerus dragons later, the females might not have survived the final days of winter against the hyen-drakes.<\/span><\/p>

Of course, domestication was only one reason. Another had to do with the original Rock-Mountain Tribe, which had merged into today\u2019s Lion-Wolf Tribe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi had never asked why Aze once lived alone on the wilderness plains, but it didn\u2019t take much to guess he was very unhappy back in his old tribe. If Chen Qi went to the Lion-Wolf Tribe, Aze would definitely follow.<\/span><\/p>

But how could Chen Qi let Aze live unhappily?<\/span><\/p>

This world didn\u2019t hold much emotional weight for Chen Qi. Aze was his only true anchor here. Everything he did\u2014at the bottom of it all\u2014was just so his mate could live a better life.<\/span><\/p>

So he wouldn\u2019t have to worry about finding food.<\/span><\/p>

So he wouldn\u2019t have to fear simply surviving.<\/span><\/p>

Not only Axiang, but everyone else was listening seriously to Chen Qi\u2019s explanation. His proposal was extremely thorough\u2014he even marked out which animals to domesticate first.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cAll of this needs to be completed this summer, so I cannot leave Qi Ze City.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi tapped a fingertip on one of the drawings before continuing, \u201cHowever, your suggestion about exchanging goods in return for someone teaching your tribe how to construct the defenses\u2014that we can do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Axiang lifted his head in surprise. He\u2019d assumed that once Chen Qi refused, the matter was finished.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cYou mean\u2026?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cAlthough I can\u2019t leave Qi Ze City, many of our people helped with the tribe\u2019s defenses last winter. We can send them to your tribe to teach you how to build things. But in exchange, you will need to trade with us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWhat do you want?\u201d Axiang leaned back in his seat with interest, eyes burning with curiosity. It was his first time seeing such a confident and intriguing male.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cYou know our population is small. Besides hunting, we need a lot of manpower for construction, yet even so, progress is slow.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi rubbed his temples, thinking of the houses still unfinished.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cSo you\u2019ll need to send about three hundred young and strong females to help with construction. We\u2019ll teach them thoroughly and send them back before winter.<\/span><\/p>

And also fifty single males. Many of the handmade items in Qi Ze City require male participation. Ayan should have told you\u2014our tribe\u2019s paper, clothing, candles, and similar things are all made by males.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWhy single?\u201d Axiang raised a brow.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi smiled.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cYou know how it is\u2014we have too many single females. If any of those males decide to stay in Qi Ze City before winter, you can\u2019t stop them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u2026As if the Lion-Wolf Tribe didn\u2019t also have far too many single females.<\/span><\/p>

Looking at Chen Qi, who was smiling like a sly fox, Axiang fell silent, then turned to look at Azhang and Achu, who had been quiet the entire time.<\/span><\/p>

Although he had been the one speaking with Chen Qi, these two were the chiefs of Qi Ze City\u2014their final decision mattered most.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cSo, what do<\/span> you think of this exchange?\u201d he asked.<\/span><\/p>

Azhang snapped out of his thoughts. He exchanged a glance with Achu, then said they would need further discussion before agreeing.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
