After listening to Weya, Liu Feng got the general gist of the situation. Weya was burdened with the responsibility to care for the tribe, which had been put on her by her parents. And this burden was currently crushing and suffocating Weya. She was only a teenager, and she was responsible for a whole tribe, having to lead her tribes to the South.
Liu Feng turned his head and looked at Mina and Anri. These two beastgirls were also once responsible for a group of people.
Mina and Anri saw Liu Fengâs eyes on them, and they smiled and looked at each other. They could tell from their eyes that they both felt fortunate to have met Liu Feng, as it was because of him that they could live freely without worrying about anything. It was also because of him that they could eat what they wanted, drink what they wanted, and do what they wanted every day.
âMy lord, I want to bring my tribe to West Sun City. Can you take them in?â Weya requested, standing up. She lowered her head, and her long rabbit ears drooped down.
These words made Liu Feng come back to his senses. He looked at Weya silently, and during her nervousness, he said, âWeiya, of course Iâm willing to take them in. As long as they are willing to work, then they wonât starve to death.â
âMy lord, thank you!â Weya stood up straight, and there were tears in her eyes. She lowered her head again, and in a choked voice, said, âReally, thank you very much, my lord.â Weya had previously doubted Liu Feng and wondered if he was scheming something and ticking the beastkins. However, after a few days of living in West Sun City, Weya realized that not every human was bad, as her parents had claimed. My lord is different from them all. Heâs different from the other nobles and humans. He is genuinely willing to take in beastkins and also doesnât discriminate against beastkins.
Now, Weya spent her mornings happily experimenting with buns in the kitchen, and after enjoying a delicious breakfast, she went to teach at the school. She would first read a passage from Journey to West and then teach the children to read and write. They called her Teacher Weya, which she loved.
Returning to the castle at noon to eat Nicoleâs food was the happiest time of her day, with Mina and Anri fighting over food, with Liu Feng occasionally taking part in the fight.
After that, she would go back to school to teach, and after school, she would sometimes go around West Sun City with Anri, buying buns and lollipops. At night, she would sometimes listen to Liu Fengâs lectures with Anri and sometimes just watch him work in silence.
These were the happiest days of her life. She wanted to immerse herself in this life forever. However, she hadnât forgotten her purpose. She came here to experience life and see if West Sun City truly accepted the beastkins and allowed beastkins to live here.
And over the past few days, Weya found the answer. West Sun City was indeed willing to accept the beastkins and allow them to live a proper life here. Thus, she couldnât indulge herself anymore and had to go back and bring her tribe here.
After all, winter was approaching, and she didnât want the tragedy from the previous year to repeat.
âNo need to thank me. I will be very happy if there are beastkins willing to join West Sun City,â Liu Feng said gently. West Sun City still needed more people, so he was happy to accept anyone, regardless of their race.
Besides, if Weyaâs tribe joined West Sun City, the burden on Weya would be shifted onto the tribe members. They would have to work hard and rely on themselves rather than relying on a single person.
âOne last question,â Liu Feng asked, a light flashing through his eyes. âWeya, are you sure that your people will follow you? Will they be willing to come to West Sun City?â
âAh?â Weya was surprised and froze, but she soon nodded earnestly. âThey will follow me.â
ââ¦â Liu Feng was silent for a moment. After a while, he said gently, âThen when do you plan to go?â
âI will set off tomorrow to tell them the good news,â Weya said with a beaming smile. Her light red eyes were filled with anticipation as she imagined the excited reaction of her tribe members upon hearing the news.
âWhat? Youâre going into the Forbidden Mountain Range alone?â Anri exclaimed in shock. âYou stupid rabbit, did you eat something weird today? Why are you spouting nonsense? You know how dangerous the Forbidden Mountain Range is. You going alone would be akin to suicide.â
âIâ¦â Weya didnât know what to say. With her strength, it would indeed be very difficult for her to return to her tribe alive.
âIâll have the War Wolves escort you,â Liu Feng said softly.
âMy lord, no need, I can go alone,â Weya said nervously, waving her hand. âI donât want my tribe members to misunderstand.â
Liu Feng frowned slightly and quickly understood why. If Weya brought the War Wolf Squad to the tribe, nobody would believe her as they would think that she had brought humans to capture the beastkins and make them slaves.
âYoung Master, let me take Weya,â Mina said softly. She had lived in the Forbidden Mountain Range before, and with her abilities, as long as she didnât encounter a large group of animals, she would be completely safe.
âNo need, Mina. You need to protect the lordâs safety,â Weya objected.
âI can protect the master!â Tess exclaimed, raising her hand. âBut I need a weapon.â
âUmâ¦â Weya blinked and looked at Liu Feng. She couldnât decide.
Liu Feng turned to look at Mina and asked, âIs there any danger?â
âNone!â Mina shrugged, relaxed. âAs long as we donât enter the inner area of the Forbidden Mountain Range, there is no danger for me at all.â
Anri propped her chin on her hand, thinking. âWith Minaâs skills, thereâs really no danger if sheâs just escorting the stupid rabbit.â Having known each other for years and having lived in the Forbidden Mountain Range together for a while, she was the person who knew Mina the best.
âIâll have the War Wolf Squad escort you for part of the way,â Liu Feng said, deciding to let the two of them go together.
âThank you, thank you so much, everyone,â Weya said, bowing, her rabbit ears drooping.
âLike I said, you really are a stupid rabbit. Youâre our friend,â Anri said, rolling her eyes. âDo friends need reason to help each other?â
âYeah!â Mina nodded.
There were tears in Weyaâs light red eyes. She wiped them away with her hands and nodded firmly. She wanted to continue living in the castle, eat Nicoleâs delicious foods, go shopping with Anri, learn self-defense techniques from Mina, and read the books Liu Feng had written.
