Chapter 244: Chapter 246: Xi Yi’s Background

"Oh, so those three werewolves aren’t your Beastmen? Then what is your relationship with them?" Dongfang Luanhe sounded a little surprised.

"What three werewolves? I don’t know what you mean. Young Master, I am here to present you with the salt making technique."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Luanhe’s expression became indifferent. "Presenting the salt making technique? You know how to make salt?"

Su Nuannuan nodded smugly. "The salt I make is white and fine. The Young Master will not be disappointed."

When it came to making salt, Su Nuannuan was completely confident.

She had purified salt for the Black Pig Tribe before, and their reactions had been excellent. Su Nuannuan was sure this Young Master would like it too.

’As long as I demonstrate my superior salt making technique, I can make him see me in a new light. Then, when I make him some Warm Chicken, he’ll definitely fall in love with me.’

"Fine. Since you’re here to make salt, then take her away to make salt. Lu Ming, give her some salt to process. If she can’t do it, throw her out."

"All sorts of riffraff dare to come to the city-state these days." After listening, Dongfang Luanhe, not very interested, waved his hand dismissively.

Hearing this, Lu Ming immediately nodded and led Su Nuannuan away.

Su Nuannuan was dumbfounded. This wasn’t how she had imagined things would go.

’Shouldn’t he hold me in higher regard?’

In disbelief, Su Nuannuan glanced back at the man in the seat.

But the Silver Wolf beside her dragged her out forcefully. "What are you looking at? Didn’t you say you were here to make salt? This way, to the left."

Countless Beastmen came to the city-state every year, claiming they could make salt. Most were just trying to freeload, and Lu Ming was long used to it.

He took Su Nuannuan to the lowest-grade salt lake, gave no instructions, and left.

...

Su Yang stroked his wolf-like whiskers and glanced at Su Luoluo. "Don’t worry. When has your Father ever failed at anything? I’ve already sent Yi De, Er De, and San De to handle it. They should be back by now."

Just as he spoke, a Werewolf reported, "Leader, Yi De, Er De, and San De have all returned."

Hearing this, Su Yang walked out of the wooden house. "I’ll go ask about the situation. Luoluo, you just gave birth, so you should rest well."

With that, he turned to leave, but as if remembering something, he shot a glance at the several Beastmen. "And you lot, keep it down. Don’t disturb Luoluo and the little cubs’ rest."

The Beastmen nodded in response.

Although they weren’t afraid of Su Yang, they still respected him for Luoluo’s sake. Besides, there was nothing to fault about his character.

Xiao Ye watched Su Yang leave, then looked at the others with a raised eyebrow. "Did you hear Father? Don’t bother Luoluo if you don’t have to. The rest of you should head back first."

Hearing this, Mo Xuan’s eyes narrowed. He said resentfully, "From the sound of it, you want us to leave while you stay. On what grounds?"

Xiao Ye gestured down with his chin. "On the grounds that I have them, and you don’t. My family of ten with Luoluo needs to stay together."

Mo Xuan: "..."

Fu Feng rolled his eyes. "You say that as if you’re the only one who’s become an instant Beast Father. Have you seen Luan Ting say anything?"

"His wolf cubs don’t need to be incubated. Of course he doesn’t need to bond with their Mother."

The men bickered nonstop, making Su Luoluo’s ears ring. She bluntly shooed them all out. "Stop it! It’s too noisy! All of you, get out! I need to rest."

At her words, the arguing men fell silent.

Hearing Su Luoluo say this, Xiao Ye said, aggrieved, "Luoluo, the Snake Babies still need you."

Su Luoluo pointed to the small cradle in front of her. "Put them there. You can go now. I’ll watch them myself."

Su Luoluo had made her Beastmen prepare this small cradle in advance, precisely for the purpose of taking care of the little cubs.

When Xiao Ye heard this, his expression instantly returned to normal. "No need. I’ll do it myself. The Little Snake Eggs will be noisy when they hatch. You should rest well."

Luan Ting heard this and nodded at Su Luoluo. "Luoluo, I’ll go make you some fish. You rest well."

With that, he left with the three little wolf cubs.

The newborn wolf cubs were tiny, and all three clung tightly to Luan Ting’s body. They looked exceptionally cute, and the sight of them nearly melted Su Luoluo’s heart.

She had always thought of Luan Ting as gentle, but seeing him care for the little cubs now, she found in him the unexpected sexiness of a husband. ’It’s true that people are most attractive when they’re focused.’

The ones with cubs took the initiative to leave, and the others felt it was best not to stay either, so they all got up and left.

Although Xiao Ye was a little reluctant, he still turned his head while holding the Snake Eggs and said, "Luoluo, I’ll wait for you after I’ve hatched the little cubs."

Bai Meng was waiting anxiously outside. After seeing the group of Beastmen leave, he looked toward Su Zhao. Su Zhao sighed and patted his shoulder. "My friend, she’s doing fine. But why are you so hung up on her?"

He had heard from his mother that when a female gives birth, it’s like walking through death’s door. Now that he heard Su Luoluo was safe, Bai Meng felt much more at ease.

A female who has just given birth needs to nurse. He had asked the females in the tribe for advice and learned that preparing a lot of fish soup was a good idea, so he hurried off to catch some fish.

Si Cheng was the last to leave. Just as he was turning to go, Su Luoluo stopped him. "Si Cheng, is there something you want to say to me?"

Su Luoluo had noticed it long ago. Ever since Si Cheng came in, he had been staring at Xi Yi for a long time, which seemed very strange.

Hearing her, Si Cheng, who had been turning to leave, stopped in his tracks. He had originally planned to wait until Su Luoluo was in better health before speaking.

After all, she had just given birth and was still weak. However, some things were better said sooner rather than later.

After some thought, he turned back to Su Luoluo and said, "There is something I need to tell you, Leader. It’s about the leader’s mother."

Su Luoluo tensed at his words and asked anxiously, "Have they found my Mother? How is she?"

Before giving birth, Xi Yi had given her a letter. It was written in Bear Text, and without her system, she couldn’t understand it, so she had never read it.

Si Cheng shook his head. "I don’t think the foster mother on Shear Mountain is the leader’s mother."

That sounded a bit convoluted, and Su Luoluo felt she didn’t quite understand. "What do you mean? If she’s not my Mother, then who is she?"

"When I went, I happened to see that Black Bear writing a letter. She asked a White Bear beside her what to write, and the White Bear said the Young Master had instructed her to write positive things, and to tell the leader not to worry and that there was no need to return."

"A letter?" Su Luoluo instantly thought of the one Xi Yi had given her. ’Could it be that Xi Yi was the one who ordered that person to write it?’

"That’s right. Leader, you only need to check the letter’s contents to know that the Black Bear Foster Mother on Shear Mountain is suspicious."

Su Luoluo frowned slightly. "I do have the letter, but it’s been so long that I’ve forgotten Bear Text."

"If you trust me, Leader, you can show it to me. I understand some Bear Text."

Su Luoluo was surprised. "Aren’t you a Ring-tailed Lemur? How do you also know Bear Text?"

On the Beast World Continent, besides their own clan’s script, Beastmen rarely took the initiative to learn the scripts of other tribes, since they had little use for them.

Si Cheng said calmly, "As a Priest, I often have to observe the celestial phenomena. The Bear Clan has very deep research into astrology, so I taught myself some of their language in order to understand it."

Hearing this, Su Luoluo pointed to a table in the distance and said to Si Cheng, "The letter is in the first ceramic jar."

Si Cheng walked over, reached into the ceramic jar, pulled out the letter, opened it, and began to read.

After a moment, he nodded. "That’s right. The contents of this letter are exactly as that person said."

Su Luoluo’s eyes widened in understanding. "So... the Young Master is Xi Yi?"

Then, she furrowed her brow. "What on earth is Xi Yi’s background?"
