Chapter 423 (2/2)

This showed Tigress’ father had been closely following the war, he had already known about the human before they arrived. This meant he also knew Tigress surrendered just for this human.

No one knew if her father would be upset about this. Would he question Ye Lang’s appearance? Would he blame Ye Lang for causing Tigress to lose?

“Alright, please let him know that I’ll be cooking for Master first. I’ll be there as soon as I can!” answered Tigress as if it was nothing. All she had to do now was to make Ye Lang his bowl of fishball noodles.

The most important thing now was to not let Ye Lang starve.

“Uh…” The messenger was stunned for a moment, not expecting this answer at all. He couldn’t believe cooking for this human was more important than seeing her own father.

Who was this human she called ‘Master’?

At this point, the rest of the people thought Ye Lang’s name was ‘Master’. They didn’t believe Tigress would voluntarily call anyone her master!

Tigress had already pulled Ye Lang away while the messenger was still at a loss for words. They went to her house, which was an average house that was similar to the other houses in the area.

This didn’t mean she was an ordinary person here. If she was a commoner, her father would not have a messenger who could pass her messages, nor would she play such an important role in this war.

Most importantly, if she was a common member, she wouldn’t have stayed here for eight years without going back to see Ye Lang. She would’ve been able to, at least, send him a letter. But she didn’t.

The buildings in the tribal lands were all similar. Even the most powerful leaders lived in structures similar to the rest. They ate the same food, lived in the same houses, not much difference between them.

Perhaps that was how they showed everyone was equal here!

At Tigress’ house, Ye Lang was sitting in the living room waiting for her bowl of noodles. Out of boredom, he stood up and started to walk around looking at all her decorations.

All her decorations were simple but clean.

Ye Lang knew Tigress cleaned her own house because she used to clean his room back at Ye Residence too, and this place was arranged in the same manner.

As he looked around, he noticed a huge photograph on the wall. It was an adorable little girl, he recognised this was taken when she was younger because he had grown up with her.

“Hey, Tigress, is this little tiger your pet?” Ye Lang saw a little tiger cub by her side in the photo.

“What tiger?” came Tigress’ voice from the kitchen.

“The tiger in the picture, the one hugging your leg?”

“...” There was a long silence, then another shout, “That’s my little brother!”

“Huh? How…. He looks exactly like a tiger… Uh, alright, I see that it’s a baby… But why does the baby have a whole tiger head?” Ye Lang peered closer and realised it was indeed a baby. To him, it was a peculiar baby but to the beastmen, this baby was a very normal baby.

“Because he has the best tiger tribe blood running through his veins!” Tigress said proudly. This was her brother, how could she not be proud?

“Oh.” Ye Lang understood though he didn’t ask: Why did Tigress only have a few tiger parts? And why was she so different from the rest of the tiger tribespeople?
