The Red Zheng Beast couldn't help but cover its face with its paws.
Qing Kuo sneered, "Now you're in a hurry? It's too late."
The Red Zheng Beast muttered, "No--"
The little ones have actually learned to fight in groups, and everyone runs out to watch.
Orcs from various tribes who came to pick up their children from school also came to watch the excitement.
With so many children from different tribes coming to class together, the Riverside Tribe definitely wanted to correct the prevailing learning atmosphere, so no one spoke up for the children.
De Jiang called the little ones to squat in a horse stance, with the bear who led the fight and the Red Zheng Beast squatting at the front.
Whether they were humanoid or beast-shaped cubs, sweat soon appeared on their foreheads.
Jian Mo watched from the side, noticing that the kitten, wolf, and fox were all standing on their hind legs, crouching slightly—a posture that went against their nature. She couldn't help but rub her forehead.
These little guys are both pitiful and adorable.
However, using the animal-shaped squatting stance is too cruel. Next time, I suggest changing to another punishment method.
There's no way to change it today. De Jiang is already educating the kids. Intervening will only confuse them and won't do any other good.
While the cubs were squatting in a horse stance, Jian Mo checked their wounds.
Their lethality was limited; the fight wasn't serious, and they only had some bruises and cuts that could be treated with some ointment.
Jian Mo helped with the task and then watched the commotion from the sidelines.
The Jiujiu that had been collected were also watching the excitement from outside the crowd.
Jiujiu wanted to get close to her friends, but she was also afraid of De Jiang, so she could only quietly squat outside.
The orcs from the Riverside Tribe personally went to fetch them, and by nightfall, the parents of the little bear and the Red Zheng Beast finally arrived.
But--
"These are your children?! Both of them?!"
Qing Kuo stared wide-eyed at the little bear and the Red Zheng Beast.
These two little ones are brothers!
From the same family!
The baby's two fathers exchanged a glance, looking exhausted, and nodded in unison.
The two cubs' sub-beastman father, Jing Qin, said, "They are twins; one takes my beast form, and the other their father's."
The orc father of the two cubs, Kong Fan, "They are indeed brothers."
Everyone was quite surprised.
De Jiang frowned. "When brothers fight, the situation is even more serious."
Kong Fan sighed, "It's our fault as fathers for not teaching him well. I'm sorry."
Kong Fan asked the two cubs, "What's wrong with you two?"
Both cubs were clearly afraid of their father.
Little Bear: "Xing Yan, hit me first!"
Red Zheng Beast: "Ri Can insulted me first!"
Little Bear: "I only said two words, and he hit me!"
Red Zheng Beast: "I accidentally hit him, and he called for others to attack me!"
The two little animals became more and more excited as they talked, puffing out their chests, arching their backs, widening their eyes, and scratching with their claws, looking like they were about to fight again.
Their father, Jing Qin, couldn't help but slap each of them. "Shut up!"
Qing Kuo couldn't help but ask, "Your family has lived together since you were little, right?"
Jing Qin was exhausted. "They do live together, but they've been fighting since they were little. We don't allow them to fight at home, but I never expected these two brats to fight outside."
Kong Fan: "They didn't beat you enough. We'll intensify your discipline when we get back."
The expressions on the faces of the two fathers were utterly exhausting.
Behind Jian Mo, Zhou Fu muttered, "Looks like having many children isn't necessarily a good thing."
Jian Mo nodded in deep agreement.
Regardless of whether the two cubs are biological brothers, they definitely need to be disciplined for fighting.
De Jiang spoke with the two fathers and then sternly criticized the two boys, saying that if they did it again, they would not be allowed to come to class.
The two little cubs were so frightened that they tucked their tails between their legs.
De Jiang educates the other children.
The other cubs squatted miserably in horse stance, listening to the lecture, all indicating they dared not do it again.
They educated the cubs until dark before letting them return to their respective tribes.
Before the orcs of the Xiongying Tribe could carry their cubs back, Jian Mo quickly stopped him. "Xue Yue, after you go back, have your chieftain come over tomorrow. I have something to say to him."
Xue Yue: "What is it that you want me to tell him?"
Jian Mo: "You'll know about the planting when you bring him over."
Xue Yue nodded. "No problem."
The beastmen carried their cubs back home.
Wu Jiong said to De Jiang, "It's not possible to completely prevent the kids from fighting. Our tribe will build a fighting arena, and then the kids who want to fight can go in and fight there."
De Jiang didn't seem surprised. "Imitated to the fighting arena of the Mengshui Tribe? That would be a grand arena for gladiatorial combat."
Wu Jiong: "Sure, we had some leftover stones."
De Jiang: "Where should we repair it?"
Wu Jiong: "Let's have a meeting to discuss this."
Qing Kuo said, "I happen to be free today, I'll go and call someone over for a meeting."
Jian Mo was surprised by how quickly they acted. By dinner time, all the families who had been notified came out for a meeting.
Qing Kuo and the others briefly discussed a few locations as options: an open space in the tribe, an open space in front of the back mountain, and an open space by the river.
Their tribe only has a little over three hundred people. After the meeting, they voted by raising their hands, and the only literate person Jian Mo, recorded the votes.
There are three open spaces, and each person can only choose one.
At the meeting, Qing Kuo gave a brief overview of the advantages and disadvantages of the three vacant plots of land.
People quickly made their choices; about 70% of them chose the riverside.
Someone joked below, "The riverbank is right near the clinic; if anyone gets injured during the fight, it'll be convenient to get them to the clinic."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.
However, the riverside area is large and has beautiful scenery, making it a truly wonderful place.
Jian Mo listened as they excitedly chose a location and then seriously discussed the construction date and the missing materials. Her hand, which was taking notes, paused slightly.
