Chapter 243: Surviving the Dragon Clan
In the afternoon, the friends and the children spent half a day hunting on the seabed. As Ling Lingjiu said, the harvest was much richer than that in the morning.
After the children had fished enough and played enough, Ruan Tang urged everyone to pack up and go home.
"I want to take a bath." As soon as she got home, she took out the prey that needed to be processed and put it aside, then she lay down on her recliner and raised her hand to ask for a hot bath first.
She didn't take a bath yesterday and went out for a whole day today. The South Continent is much hotter than their East Continent. She felt sticky all the time and very uncomfortable.
"Let's get some hot water ready."
Chi Yuan's fire element was already at the sixth level, so heating up the bath water only took a few minutes. However, his partner liked to add some fragrant flower petals to the bathtub, so they had to prepare these carefully.
The most important thing at home was, of course, everything about Ruan Tang. It was almost dark, and she must be hungry after taking a bath. Bai Lang arranged it, "Chi Yuan, Ling Ze, go prepare some water. Mo Bai, Long Ming, and I will go prepare today's prey. Mo Ran, Qi Xuan, ask Ruan Ruan what she wants to eat tonight and start preparing dinner."
Then he turned around and said to the cubs who were lying exhausted, "Cubs, don't bother your mother. Let her rest for a while. Go take a bath and wash your clothes."
"it is good."
For these matters, the males in the family usually listen to Bai Lang's arrangements, and they all start to act according to what he says.
But the cubs wanted to play tricks, "Ugh~ I don't want to move! I'm so tired, hunting in the water is really tiring!"
"I'm tired too. I don't have the energy to move."
Bai Lang was usually quite gentle when teaching the pups, but today, he wasn't going to indulge them. He said in a slightly more serious tone, "Who's playing in the sea and doesn't want to get out? The fathers have told you so many times to get out of the water, or you'll run out of energy soon. Who's disobeying?"
When the cubs heard the tone of their father/Bai Lang's father, they looked at each other, stuck out their tongues and immediately responded, "Oh, okay, we'll go right away."
"Go, go, go, wash up and go to bed."
"Get up, get up. It won't take long to take a shower."
The kids were tired after a whole day and didn't want to move at all, but since their father had spoken, they had no choice but to lazily get up from the ground, change into human form, and go back to the room to get clean clothes to prepare to take a bath.
Ruan Tang lay on the recliner and felt a little distressed looking at the exhausted children, but she did not speak for them because she remembered that in her previous life, some expert had said: No matter which elder in the family is educating the children, other people should not refute them in front of the children.
……
In a blink of an eye, more than half a month passed and the weather became hotter and hotter. During this time, she drove all the males in the house out to hunt.
Long Ming's father and mother have recovered. Long's father is busy with tribal affairs and will come to see Ruan Tang every few days with some good things.
The Dragon Mother came over almost every day to chat with Ruan Tang.
Long Ming's brothers would also bring their cubs to play with the little foxes, red pandas and little snakes. Their cubs were all male cubs and were much older than Ruan Tang's children.
But after they got familiar with each other, all the cubs in the tribe, both old and young, liked Yihang and his friends very much and listened to them. They would go out with him to practice hunting every day.
The hot season in the southern continent is really hot. Although there is a sea breeze, Ruan Tang still feels a little uncomfortable. She feels sticky every day and feels like she is just enduring every day.
The main reason was that she was about to give birth in a few days and she was feeling irritable.
Fortunately, the Mother of Dragons came every day to accompany her and Lin Yeqing and talk about the interesting things in the southern continent, otherwise she really couldn't stay there for another day.
Ruan Tang has discussed with Lin Yeqing and decided to leave here after giving birth.
Today Ye Zi also went out to play with her friends, leaving only Ruan Tang and Mo Bai at home.
As usual, after having breakfast at home, Long Mu asked her partner to take her to Ruan Tang's house to chat with Ruan Tang and relieve her boredom.
The two chatted casually while eating wild fruits.
As the Dragon Mother spoke, she brought up the troubles that the Dragon Father had been worrying about these days. "Your father, this time, you've finally been able to harden your heart."
Ruan Tang guessed that the discussion had probably concluded today. "Tell me, what does Father plan to do with those members of the Jiaolong Clan?"
Ruan Tang listened quietly to what the Dragon Mother said next. During this period, she came to accompany her every day and told her about the captives every day.
The main fighting leader of the Jiaolong tribe had been killed by Long Ming, and most of the high-level males also died in those two battles. There were only some old, weak and sick people left in the Jiaolong tribe, so they sent people to negotiate.
The Dragon Mother sighed, "Except Long Yan, all other male Jiaolongs can be released back to the Jiaolong Sea. The condition is that every winter, the Jiaolongs must give us 500 fifth-level or higher exotic beast crystals and 1000 exotic beasts, regardless of their level, to us."
"That's great!"
Since both parties wanted to resolve the matter peacefully, she thought it would be a good idea if the other party could agree to this condition.
The Dragon Mother frowned, "Well, the Jiaolong Clan did agree, but they made another request. They asked your father to release Long Yan as well."
"Father doesn't agree?"
Ruan Tang thought that it would be strange if he agreed. The last civil strife was caused by Long Yan, which caused the deaths of so many members of the Dragon Clan. If something like this happened, Long's father would still let Long Yan go. She felt a little embarrassed to judge Long Ming's father.
"How could he possibly agree? He was soft-hearted a few years ago and didn't punish Long Yan. So many of our clansmen died this time, and everyone saw that they were killed by Long Yan.
In fact, your father has been feeling very painful because he knows that this incident was ultimately caused by his soft-heartedness last time."
The Dragon Mother's tone was filled with sorrow. How could she be truly happy when her partner lived in pain every day?
"Just let Father go as he pleases. If he doesn't want to let him go, just kill him. If you kill Long Yan, the Jiaolong tribe will cause trouble, and what about Ming and us?
Don't worry, go back and persuade him. No matter how much you think about what has happened, you can't go back or change it.
So instead of dwelling on what has already happened, it is better to think about how to make the Dragon Clan grow stronger in the future."
Ruan Tang patted Long Mu's back and whispered, "Mother, do you think I'm right?"
"Well, Ruan Ruan is right. Fortunately, you and Ming came back in time this time, otherwise..."
She was frightened just thinking about it. There were thousands of people in the entire dragon clan, but in the end there were only a little over a thousand left.
Fortunately, in order to lure her son A Ming back to rescue people, Long Yan did not kill all the guards, females and cubs, so the females were not harmed and so many high-level warriors were left behind.
Otherwise, even if the Jiaolong Clan does not dare to attack the Dragon Clan's sea area for the time being, after A Ming leaves, the races in other sea areas will also attack.
After all, the sea area of their dragon clan is the largest in the entire southern continent and has the most abundant food, so everyone wants to take a bite.
If the females and cubs were also killed, then their dragon clan would really have to wait for extinction.
Thinking of this, she said to Ruan Tang, "By the way, when A Ming comes back, remember to remind him to reinforce the entrance to the Dragon Tribe Sea. Otherwise, foreign orcs can come in whenever they want, and we won't be able to live here in peace."
She recalled what Little Four had told her about the Jiaolong Clan following them a few days ago, and she was still frightened. "I remember the last time the Jiaolong Clan leader found out about you, and I was terrified. Just imagine, if you weren't strong enough, how dangerous would it be if hundreds of high-level orcs from the Jiaolong Clan suddenly surrounded you?"
Ruan Tang patted Long Mu's hand and comforted her softly, "It's okay, it's okay. We are fine, don't worry, mother.
When A Ming comes back, I'll tell him to wait until those dragon orcs go back and then have him reinforce it and move the entrance to a new location. From now on, no one outside the dragon tribe will be able to find it except us."
"Well, good! Our A-Ming has found Ruan-Ruan as his partner. It's such a blessing for him! And it's also a blessing for our dragon clan!"
She placed her hands on her chest, closed her eyes devoutly and said, "Thank you, Lord Beast God, for giving us the goddess! Thank you, Lord Beast God, for your favor!"
Ruan Tang: ...
Well, Long Ming was someone who had truly connected and communicated with the Beast God for more than ten years, so she reluctantly believed that the Beast God did exist in this Beast World Continent.
[Of course there's the Beast God, host. Otherwise, how do you think you could have ended up here for no reason?]
Ruan Tang perked up when she heard this and asked with great interest, "Oh? And there's this inside story? Tell me about it?"
Ling Lingjiu immediately covered his virtual little mouth. Why was he talking so much again? His boss had repeatedly warned him not to talk nonsense about the Beast God.
[Um..., no, no, host, your husband and children are back, go play with them, I'm leaving.]
Ruan Tang was speechless. She had just become interested, but this little system actually kept her interested!
