She's obviously just a little female, and a junior in his family, so why does a casual look from her make him feel so uneasy
After a moment of silence, Hu Jiaojiao finally spoke and politely refused:
"Thank you for your kindness. We are all from the same tribe. This place is big enough for us to stay. We don't need to move."
Although he is my mother's partner, his attitude is too strange.
Hu Qiang had been keeping an eye on Hu Lin's movements. When he saw him coming to instigate Hu Jiaojiao, he hurried over and stood between the two of them.
"Jiaojiao is right. We are a family and we will live here. We are not going anywhere. You should go back and manage your tribe. There is nothing for you to do here!"
He waved his hands with a look of disgust, as if he was trying to scare the duck away, as if he wished he could disappear from his sight immediately.
Hearing Hu Qiang's emphasis on "family", Hu Lin's face turned ugly, but because Hu Jiaojiao was here, he couldn't get angry at Hu Qiang, so he just said with a fake smile:
"Hu Qiang, I am also Jiaojiao's father. Since you said so, I will live here too to accompany Jiaojiao and Minmin."
As he said that, he directly ordered his subordinates to move all the things in his cave over.
Then he looked at Hu Qiang proudly.
"You're right, a family just lives together."
"You!" Hu Qiang gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
If Hu Jiaojiao hadn't been there, he would probably have lost control and would have "stroked" Hu Lin's cheek with his fist.
This old fox is still as annoying as ever.
Hu Jiaojiao naturally noticed the tit-for-tat aura between the two and found an excuse to get Hu Qiang away:
"Dad, go call mom over. I want to talk to you two."
Since Hu Lin is her mother's partner, she can't be stubborn and take her mother back. She has to listen to her mother's opinion.
If she wanted to stay, she would respect her mother's choice and go back to explain everything to the clan leader.
Hearing Hu Jiaojiao's words, Hu Qiang snorted in dissatisfaction at Hu Lin, then turned to look at Hu Jiaojiao with a friendly expression:
"Okay, I'll go right away."
If Hu Qiang is simple, kind, honest and loyal, then Hu Lin is the cunning old fox.
He saw through Hu Jiaojiao's intention at a glance, and as soon as Hu Qiang left, he moved closer with a chuckle.
"Jiaojiao, what do you want to say to Dad?"
Ever since he knew that Hu Jiaojiao was Hu Min's cub, he liked her more and more.
In his eyes, Hu Jiaojiao perfectly inherited the advantages of Hu Min: she is pretty, independent, smart, and has good vision.
There was also a bit more appreciation in the way he looked at Long Mo.
As for the half of her blood that belonged to Hu Qiang, he simply ignored it.
Hu Jiaojiao turned around and saw Hu Lin’s enlarged face. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she took two steps back to distance herself.
She cleared her throat and got straight to the point:
"Chief, I know you want us to stay, but this is not our tribe after all. My people must go back. As for my mother, if she is willing to stay, I will support any decision she makes."
Hearing this, the smile on Hu Lin's face suddenly fell.
If she doesn't stay, doesn't that mean Minmin will leave too
"Jiaojiao, please think about it again. Our tribe is also very good. As long as you stay, Dad will definitely leave the best supplies for you."
Now that he had brought it up, Hu Lin no longer hid his thoughts and gave his advice directly.
Hu Jiaojiao still shook her head with a determined look.
"I have to go back."
She had just brought back Fengsheng and the 800 orcs from the Canglang tribe. She couldn't just ignore them. The tribe was still in the initial stage of development. She had been with the tribe step by step, and she couldn't let go of the tribe in her heart.
That is her roots, her roots in the animal world.
What's more, the land near the Leihe tribe is barren and cannot be developed at all, and moving the tribe here is even more impractical.
“However.” Hu Jiaojiao paused, and seeing Hu Lin’s dejected expression, she added: “I can tell you the method I mentioned before.”
Hu Lin was still dejected, like a defeated rooster, without a trace of happiness in his eyes.
Minmin is leaving, what’s the use of asking for methods
Hu Jiaojiao didn't expect him to react like this. She opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Long Mo came to Hu Jiaojiao and found a trace of sadness on her face. He frowned, and a trace of deep thought flashed across his deep eyes.
He reached out and wrapped Hu Jiaojiao's hand in his palm.
Hu Jiaojiao subconsciously looked up and saw Long Mo's eyes were firm and affectionate, as if saying: No matter what you do, I will stand behind you.
Her heart, which had just been a little depressed, suddenly brightened up.
It's difficult to have everything in this world, why should she do everything perfectly
Hu Jiaojiao also held Long Mo's hand in return and smiled at him. Their fingers were interlocked, as if a special power was flowing into their blood.
After a while, Hu Qiang brought Hu Min over.
Seeing Hu Lin's expression, Hu Min vaguely guessed something, and asked Hu Qinglu to take the four cubs next to them to play somewhere else, and then looked at Hu Jiaojiao.
"Jiaojiao, what do you want to talk about?"
Hu Jiaojiao repeated to Hu Min what she had just said to Hu Lin.
Hearing this, Hu Min answered without thinking:
"Of course I'm going back, Jiaojiao, don't worry, I'll go back with you."
It’s not that she has no feelings for Hu Lin.
But, on one side is Hu Qiang, his babies, and a group of people called Qun Zaizai, and on the other side is Hu Lin alone. She can't abandon a group of people just for one.
Hu Qiang was the happiest to hear Hu Min's words.
Ignoring Hu Lin's depressed expression, he hugged Hu Min and said:
"Yes, let's go back with Jiaojiao. This is not our tribe, so we certainly won't stay here."
As he said this, he glanced at Hu Lin provocatively.
Hu Lin was furious and gritted his teeth, but he could do nothing.
He couldn't force Minmin.
After thinking for a moment, Hu Lin suddenly said loudly:
"I'll go back with you too!"
After these words were spoken, not only Hu Jiaojiao and others, but even the orcs of the Leihe tribe looked at Hu Lin in astonishment.
"Chief, what will we do if you leave?"
"Yes, Chief, we can't live without you..."
They were originally just three unrelated small tribes. It was Hu Lin's arrival that brought them together and made them as powerful as they are today. If it weren't for the poor land and limited supplies, the tribe would definitely be stronger than it is now.
Without a leader, their tribe would fall apart!
Hu Lin glanced at the orcs from the Leihe tribe and said in a heavy and loud voice:
"I have established the Leihe Tribe for twenty years with only one goal, and that is to find my partner. Now that I have found one, there is no point in staying here any longer."
"There are many powerful orcs in the tribe. I believe you can protect the Leihe tribe. After I leave, let the giant lizard boss be the leader. Don't worry, I will arrange everything before I leave."
There was no hesitation on Hu Lin's face.
“Chief…” The orcs of the Leihe tribe all looked reluctant.
Seeing Hu Lin's determined expression, they knew that he would not change his mind, so they all shut their mouths in silence.
"Actually." At this time, a deep voice interrupted the solemn atmosphere.
All the animals looked at Long Mo who was speaking.
Long Mo's face was calm and he said in a calm voice:
"You can join our tribe together."
