With the news from the cubs, Jian Mo wasn't too surprised when he saw a cub that looked just like a red panda and its father the next day.

Meanwhile, the kids watching from the sidelines couldn't help but whisper to Jian Mo, "Jian Mo, doesn't that little kid look just like Jiujiu?"

Jian Mo stared at the cub. "It's not that similar, the cub's fur isn't like it at all."

The newborn cub was chubby with reddish-brown fur, and it really looked like the red panda that Jian Mo had seen on Earth, and also like Jiujiu.

Jian Mo greeted the guests, "Hello!"

The cub's father said, "Doctor Jian Mo, we are from near the Dense Forest Tribe. My name is Lu Wei. I heard that you have many new things here, so I brought the cub to see them."

The little panda couldn't transform yet, so it stared at Jian Mo with its round eyes. When Jian Mo looked over, it shyly looked away.

This little guy is quite young, all chubby and round, with incredibly soft and fluffy fur and very thick ears. Jian Mo's hands were itching to hold him and rub him.

Since the Banjiu in the tribe were able to transform, there are no more little ones in the Riverside Tribe who can't transform. Although the little ones are still fluffy, they don't have that layer of milk fat, and their fur isn't as soft, so they don't look as cute.

Jian Mo led the father and son inside and said, "You've come all this way; it must have been a very difficult journey."

Lu Wei said sincerely, "No, not at all. People from the Cypress Branch Tribe often come to our area for trade. I've heard them talk about the route, and we didn't take any detours along the way. Besides, the tribes along the way are all very nice; we had no problem finding food and lodging."

Jian Mo: "So you just wanted to come here and broaden your horizons?"

Lu Wei: "No, not really. If it's convenient, I'd like to take some supplies back with me and maybe do some business."

Jian Mo: "What do you want to bring?"

Lu Wei: "If you're willing to exchange some glass for soap, medicine, or other portable items, I'll do the same."

Jian Mo: "The medicine is fine. I'll get you some topical medication. For the rest, you'll have to talk to Qing Kuo from our tribe. He's in charge of the trade."

Lu Wei: "Okay, we'll go visit them later."

After finishing their business, Jian Mo scratched the red panda's chin. "Why did you bring the cubs along?"

Lu Wei smiled and patted her son's head, "I heard it's completely different here, so I brought my son out to broaden his horizons."

The little panda nodded and chimed in in its childish voice, "The journey was so much fun!"

After thinking for a moment, the little guy blinked and said, "Your tribe is fun too."

Jian Mo said, "Then you can stay in the tribe for a couple more days and play with our tribe's little ones."

Lu Wei: "Do the little ones in your tribe have to go to school?"

Jian Mo: "Two hours of class in the evening is alright."

Jian Mo stayed here for a while and introduced the concept of a clock.

However, their technology was insufficient to make clocks, so they created hourglasses instead.

The hourglasses are now placed in the open space of the village; there are small hourglasses that run out in exactly one hour, and large hourglasses that take a whole day to run out.

When the hourglass was being made, many people counted the seconds together, so the time should be fairly accurate. Combined with a simple sundial, the accuracy would be even greater.

Lu Wei walked along, he saw many things he had never seen before. After listening to Jian Mo's explanation, he exclaimed that he had learned a lot.

After drinking several rounds of tea, Jian Mo took them to find Qing Kuo.

When we went outside, the little ones were playing in the open space, and Jiujiu was there too. They were all playing Eagle Catches Chicks— Jiujiu was playing the eagle.

The little ones' slightly shrill laughter echoed through the air; they looked extremely happy.

The red panda stopped, biting its own paw, its eyes filled with envy.

Jian Mo glanced at Lu Wei: "Can we have our tribe's little ones take care of the little guy?"

Lu Wei nodded.

Jian Mo stroked the red panda's fluffy head, emphasizing its thick, soft ears. "Want to play with our tribe's little one?"

The little panda nodded vigorously.

Jian Mo called out, "Banjiu, come here and bring a little kid to play with you."

The human-shaped Banjiu looked like a six or seven-year-old child with fair skin, large, round eyes, and grayish pupils. Hearing Jian Mo call, it wiped the sweat from its forehead and ran over with its short legs, grinning to reveal its snow-white, neat little teeth. "Jian Mo."

Jian Mo gently patted Banjiu's back. "Banjiu, I'm counting on you for this little one."

Banjiu nodded vigorously, stretched out its little hand, and affectionately took the red panda's fluffy little paw. "Let's go play."

The red panda, with its short legs, trotted over to the cubs alongside Banjiu.

The cubs made way for the Banjiu and red pandas to rejoin the group.

Under the protection of the cubs, the red panda played together with them.

Lu Wei watched for a while, and seeing that her son was adapting well, she couldn't help but say, "The atmosphere here is really nice."

Jian Mo: "Yes, we are a very loving tribe."

As they spoke, the sound of flapping wings could be heard.

Lu Wei subconsciously looked up and saw a large Flying-Winged Beast leading several Flying-Winged Beasts in a line, flying out from the mountain behind them.

--It was Ying'ao was training the Flying-Winged Beast.

The Flying-Winged Beast of the Tianning Tribe have given birth to many Flying-Winged Beast cubs, and the Riverside Tribe has also ordered several.

After the Flying-Winged Beast cubs were delivered, everyone unanimously requested that Ying'ao train them, with the tribe paying the fee.

Ying'ao's abilities are so strong that everyone is envious.

After discussing it with Ying'ao Jian Mo agreed.

Ying'ao is now the instructor of the Flying-Winged Beast, and he trains them quite well, even better than humans.

Seeing that Lu Wei was staring at Ying'ao and the others, Jian Mo gave a brief introduction.

Lu Wei's mouth dropped open. "Your tribe even has such extraordinary Flying-Winged Beast?"
