Ran Wu leaned obediently on his father's shoulder and even gave him a hug.

Seeing their reaction, Jian Mo felt a little uneasy. "Ran Wu didn't have any major problems to begin with. It just happened to be in its fastest growth period, and the food wasn't keeping up, so it had a minor issue. Eating more and getting more sunshine will fix it."

Min Dang: "Without you, even if we understood this principle, it would have been very difficult to help him recover."

Jian Mo didn't want to continue talking about the Ran Wu issue; it would only add to the sadness.

He looked at his father, Sui Ai Ran Wu: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen your hands yet. May I see your hands?"

When Sui Ai was in front of them, his hands were always wrapped in strips of cloth. Jian Mo didn't know what was wrong with Sui Ai, only that there was a problem with his front legs, which in human form meant there was a problem with his hands.

Sui Ai clearly trusted them a lot, and upon hearing this, he unfolded the strip of cloth in his hand without saying a word.

Immediately afterwards, Jian Mo saw that most of his hand was missing, and knew in his heart that there was no way to save him.

Such a loss of limbs would be difficult to resolve even on Earth, let alone in a beastman society.

Jian Mo shook her head gently.

Knowing the outcome early on, Sui Ai wasn't particularly disappointed. Instead, she smiled and said, "I'm already very satisfied with how well it's done. I was worried I wouldn't be able to keep my whole hand, but I only lost half of my palm, and the remaining two fingers can still do some things."

Jian Mo put his hand down. "It's fine."

Sui Ai didn't wrap the cloth around his fingers again. Seeing Jian Mo looking over, he explained, "I wrapped them up because I was worried you'd be scared. These two fingers are useful."

Min Dang and Sui Ai didn't stay long; after seeing their son, they prepared to go back.

The Mengshui Tribe was not close to their tribe, Sui Ai was a disabled orc, so it wouldn't be easy for him to get back.

They had to set off as soon as possible, otherwise it would be dangerous once night fell.

Jian Mo and Wu Jiong went out to see them off. Sui Ai transformed back into his beast form, which resembled a rhinoceros.

Because of his left foreleg disability, he could only lightly touch the ground with that leg.

After his partner climbed on top of him, he turned around, nodded to Jian Mo and the others, and ran off with his partner on his back.

His three-legged running posture wasn't very graceful, and he limped a bit, but he still ran very fast and carried his partner very steadily.

After recovering, the orc still demonstrated the responsibility of a human being.

Jian Mo watched him walk away until they disappeared from sight.

Ran Wu kept watching the backs of his two fathers, reluctant to leave for a long time.

Wu Jiong put his arm around Jian Mo's shoulder. "Let's go back too."

Jian Mo: "Okay."

With that, Jian Mo gently patted Ran Wu's shoulder. "Let's go."

Ran Wu sniffed. "Mmm."

After the two fathers visited, Ran Wu's mood improved. Although she was still a little sad, she seemed more positive.

Back in the house, he insisted on cleaning the Flying-Winged Beast's den, saying he could do it and that Jian Mo and Wu Jiong should rest.

Jian Mo said to Wu Jiong, "Ran Wu seems to like our tribe quite a bit, and I like him too. I'm a little reluctant to let him go back. He seems much more positive and happy in our tribe."

Wu Jiong: "Let me think of a way."

Jian Mo assumed he was just saying it casually and didn't ask any further questions.

A few days later, Wu Jiong told Jian Mo that Min Dang's family had decided to move back to the Riverside Tribe and settle down there.

Jian Mo's eyes widened. "Is it still possible to move?! When did you talk to them about this?"

Wu Jiong nodded. "I was out for so long yesterday specifically to visit the Mengshui Tribe. Min Dang was originally from our tribe, but he moved to the Mengshui Tribe after becoming partners with Sui Ai. Now that they are willing, our tribe is also willing. We just need to talk to the Mengshui Tribe; there's nothing we can't do."

Jian Mo: "Have you reached an agreement?"

Wu Jiong: "It's settled. Yun Long and the others have no objections."

Jian Mo was reluctant to Ran Wu, but upon hearing the news, she was genuinely happy. "That's wonderful! I also think a change of environment might be better for them."

The people of the Riverside Tribe soon learned that Min Dang's family was moving back to the tribe, and they were all quite happy.

Qing Kuo and Ye Luo, who grew up with Min Dang, spent several days cleaning and repairing the empty houses in the tribe after hearing the news, and also put some supplies in the houses.

Qing Kuo said to Jian Mo, "Min Dang used to be one of the most powerful sub-beastmen in our tribe. He went to the Mengshui Tribe with Sui Ai, and we were depressed for a long time."

Ye Luo laughed from the side, "For a while, Qing Kuo privately scolded Sui Ai quite a bit."

Qing Kuo: "If anyone kidnaps you, I'll curse them too."

Ye Luo: "Then you can curse them in private. I won't hear it, so I'll just pretend I don't know."

Qing Kuo sighed, "I didn't expect things to turn out like this. Actually, it's good that we moved back. Sui Ai is one of the most powerful beastmen in the Mengshui Tribe. His leg injury isn't too serious. Although it's inconvenient for him to chase prey, he can still defend himself. Di Ya and the others have already agreed to take him hunting with them."

Jian Mo: "That's great."

Qing Kuo said, "When spring comes, we'll lend a hand and help them rebuild their house. Life will be much better then."

The Riverside Tribe warmly welcomed the Min Dang family.

The people of the Mengshui Tribe were very upset upon hearing the news:

"The tribe treated them so well, yet they moved to the Riverside Tribe. They have no conscience."

"Exactly! Chieftain, how could you agree to let them move away? If word gets out, it will be terrible for our tribe's reputation!"

"It seems the Riverside Tribe is about to rise to prominence. I wonder if our tribe will decline?"

"I still don't understand. Our tribe is so good, why did Sui Ai want to move? They clearly don't have the ability to hunt, but we still share our food with them."
