Lang Yan received her gaze, his handsome eyebrows slightly curved into a gentle smile, the corners of his lips moved slightly, and he said silently: You're welcome.

Su Qianqian couldn't help but sigh in her heart. As expected, compared to Yin Shuo and Hu Yang, Lang Yan was really calm and steady, and he always helped her out.

The tacit understanding between the two people's eyes did not escape the attention of Hu Yang and Yin Shuo who were standing beside them.

The two men turned their heads at the same time and glared at Lang Yan fiercely, as if they wanted to stab him with a knife the next second.

Facing the fierce gazes from the two men, Lang Yan just smiled faintly and shrugged without comment.

He hid his impatience and jealousy very well, especially when facing Su Qianqian, he would not show it at all. He always presented an understanding and gentle appearance.

After spending some time together in the Gray Wolf Tribe, he understood Su Qianqian's personality very well and knew what she liked. The more mature and steady he appeared, the more he would gain her heart and favor.

Even though he is not good at speaking, not as good as Hu Yang in sweet talk, nor as crazy and obsessed as Yin Shuo is with her, sometimes, retreating in order to advance is also a means of advancement.

After eating and drinking, Su Qianqian handed the antidote that Yin Shuo had stolen earlier to Xijue and said, "Master Xijue, please help me check whether this antidote is real or fake."

Xijue put down his bowl and chopsticks, took it and smelled it, then nodded and said, "It's true."

After saying that, he glanced at Yin Shuo beside him and said, "Where did you get this? I remember this thing was hidden with the Great Wizard of East City."

Yin Shuo snorted softly: "I traded Rong Gu's life for his."

"How did you change it?" Su Qianqian couldn't help but come closer and ask, "Are you causing trouble for Ronggu again?"

Seeing Su Qianqian approaching to ask him a question, Yin Shuo glanced at Hu Yang across from him with a smug look and replied, "I fed Rong Gu some of the slaves' leftover broth. If he doesn't want to die, he has to ask the East City witch for an antidote."

"I see!" Su Qianqian nodded thoughtfully. If she had known this earlier, she would have used this method and wouldn't have had to cause so much trouble...

Shi Yuan, who was standing nearby, also came over to take a few glances, sizing Yin Shuo up and down with a suspicious look: "When did you become enemies with Rong Gu... Wait, your voice sounds familiar, uh... Are you the slave who stayed with Su Mu before?!"

He was shocked and incredulous, muttering: Oh my God, I didn't expect that the future lord of West City would be Su Mu's slave...

On the contrary, Shifang and Nanwu next to him acted very calmly, as if they had already guessed it, and gave Shi Yuan a speechless look that said "you just found out".

But when Xijue heard the word "slave" at this moment, he lowered his head silently.

Seeing this, Su Qianqian hurriedly said, "Master Xijue, don't misunderstand me. Yin Shuo is not my slave. When I first came to Wanshou City, I was afraid that you would find out that he was not dead, so I let Yin Shuo pretend to be my slave..."

"That's right." Shi Yuan also chimed in, "Su Mu, in his eyes, there's no such thing as slaves. He treats all the slaves in Wanshou City very well, treating them like friends and family. He treats Yin Shuo even better, never treating him like a slave and ordering him around."

As soon as he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Yin Shuo's gaze and immediately returned to his shameless look, "What are you looking at? I'm not speaking for you, I'm helping Su Mu."

"...I know." Xijue still lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I don't mean to blame Sumu. I just feel that...many of my previous actions were wrong."

In the past, as the high and mighty Lord of West City, he had looked down upon slaves, and even more so, he had not taken ordinary orcs like Shifang seriously. But after this short time of getting along with them, the feeling these people gave him was... very good.

There were no conspiracies or deceptions. They were all very honest and sincere orcs. Being with these people was a moment of relaxation that he had never had in decades.

"Then you..." Yin Shuo also spoke, "will you force me to return and inherit the position of city lord?"

Xi Jue shook his head and gave a bitter laugh. "Yin Shuo, I'm now just like you, a traitor to the City of Beasts. What right do I have to force you to do something you don't want to do?"

After saying that, he lowered his head again, his eyes falling on the wild fruits that Su Qianqian took out to satisfy everyone's thirst.

This wild fruit is purple, large, round, and brightly colored. It's clearly just an ordinary wild fruit, but looking at it makes people feel inexplicably happy...

He simply picked up one, put it in his mouth and took a big bite. The rich juice instantly filled his mouth. It was so delicious that he couldn't help but squint his eyes.

"Forget it, never mind. I'm the city lord now anyway. Whoever wants to be the lord can do it. It's good here. I don't have to worry about all those messy things." Xi Jue said hastily, enjoying the wild grapes that Su Qianqian brought out, his tone full of the relief of letting go of everything.

"Right, right." Shi Yuan also stuffed a grape into his mouth and said, "What's so good about being the city lord? It's better to follow Su Mu and build a new tribe here. How great it is. There are endless delicious foods to eat."

Xijue paused while eating and asked, "You want to establish a new tribe?"

Su Qianqian nodded: "I guess so. Those slaves are homeless and have no status in Wanshou City. It is difficult for them to survive, so everyone is willing to follow me here to establish a new tribe."

"Then add me in." Xijue stuffed another plump grape into his mouth. "You just taught Nanwu how to grow these wild fruits and vegetables. Teach me too. Although I'm hundreds of years older than you, I still have enough strength to work in the fields."

"Okay." Su Qianqian nodded happily.

Xijue is an orc with fifth-level strength, and he is considered a powerful existence in this beast world. With him here, at least everyone does not have to worry about their safety.

"But how are you going to rescue those slaves?" Xi Jue couldn't help but frown again. "Those great witches are not easy to deal with. Although you have temporarily buried them in the ruins, there are so many orcs in Wanshou City. It won't be difficult to dig them out again..."

"I have my own way." Su Qianqian curled her lips and slowly swept her eyes across the plane trading system panel that lit up in front of her.

At this moment, the friend from the interstellar dimension just replied to her message.

[…What? What are you buying? A nuclear bomb? A hydrogen bomb? Tear gas? A laser cannon? Are you going to blow up the plane you're in?!]
