432 Dragon Tribes Envoy (1/2)
”Welcome back, Esteemed Guests. I hope you all had a pleasant rest last night.” One of the natives greeted them by the entrance gates.
”Hm? Where's your Chief?” Qiuyue asked her.
”Uh…” The native suddenly showed signs of nervousness and spoke, ”The Chief… she's currently in a meeting with an envoy from the Dragon Tribe that had recently arrived.”
”Oh? The Dragon Tribe is here? Aren't they friendly with the Tiger Tribe who tried to attack this place not long ago?” Su Yang was intrigued by the purpose of their visit.
”I-I also don't know the purpose of their visit.” The native girl shook her head.
”However, they have been inside for a while now, so they should be out very soon.”
Just as the native girl said that, Qin Tiangyu walked out from one of the larger huts with a perplexed expression on her face.

”!!!”
Qin Liangyu quickly understood why Su Yang was not happy and immediately began explaining, ”When a tribe defeats another tribe, the winners are allowed to take anything they want from the losers. Whether it be their food or their people, the losers cannot resist, as that will often lead to the annihilation of their tribe. In most cases, the males will be forced into labor and the females will be used to increase the tribe's population. That's most likely their situation right now. ”
However, Su Yang shook his head and said, ”It's not as though I don't understand. I have been to many places with a similar system lifestyle, and I am only a guest here. Therefore, you don't have to mind me. I was only speaking out loud.”
