After everyone finished eating, Su Qinglan and her husbands quickly washed all the bowls, pots, and utensils with clean water.
They wiped everything dry and put them away neatly inside the big wooden hut. The beast hide mat was folded and stored properly.
In just a short time, their new house looked perfectly clean and tidy again.
Su Qinglan felt satisfied looking at the neat space. As they were all walking towards the fox tribe’s settlement area, she noticed something interesting.
A few females from the Dragon Beast City were walking past at a distance.
Their eyes kept glancing toward her cubs with clear adoration and curiosity. It looked like they really wanted to come closer, maybe even squeeze her cubs gently or touch them, but because they were still unfamiliar with her, none of them dared to approach.
Su Qinglan thought to herself that the people of the Dragon Beast City were really very cautious.
They seemed almost afraid of outsiders, as if any new person might harm them or bring trouble. It was not exactly fear, but a deep wariness.
She wondered what had happened in the past to leave such a long-lasting impression on them.
There was also a note she remembered, the Dragon Beast City almost never accepted people from outside.
Almost everyone living here now came from many generations of the same families.
Something big must have happened long ago to make them so guarded.
But Su Qinglan did not dwell on it for too long. She had more important things to focus on right now. She simply smiled softly and continued walking with her family.
Soon, they arrived at the open flat area where the fox tribe had been assigned to settle. The moment they stepped into the wide space, Su Qinglan saw many familiar faces.
Temporary shelters were set up everywhere. Some males were busy cutting wood and tying poles to build new houses, while females sat together watching over the cubs.
Suddenly, a loud voice shouted from the crowd, "Sister Qinglan!"
The shout caught everyone’s attention at once. Heads turned, and in the next moment, a large group of her beastsmen... both males and females hurried over and crowded around her excitedly.
"Sister Qinglan! You have become even more beautiful!"
"You finally woke up! We have been so worried about your health!"
"We missed you so much!"
"You are finally back with us!"
All kinds of warm and concerned words poured out at the same time. The fox tribe people looked genuinely happy and relieved to see her standing there healthy and awake.
Some of the younger females had sparkling eyes, while the older ones smiled with motherly affection.
Su Qinglan could only smile gently at them. She answered slowly and softly, "Thank you, everyone. I am fine now. Sorry for making you all worry."
After the warm welcome from the tribe, Su Qinglan was still smiling when a familiar figure suddenly threw herself into her arms with full force.
