Chapter 345 Acceptance
On the plains, the lush grasslands were bustling with activity as the beastmen of the Beast City pulled carts carrying large and small packages of goods towards the city.
From afar, you could see a huge white wolf running at the front, pulling a cart behind it, leaving the orcs far behind.
The big white wolf arrived at their new home with their luggage. It was a small courtyard house that Lang Cang and Lin Baiyan had bought.
Originally, the city was going to build a city lord's mansion and a priest's hall for them, but after thinking about it carefully, Lin Baiyan realized that these two places would definitely become the face of Ten Thousand Beasts City in the future, and they were not as comfortable as his own little house.
So Lin Baiyan decided to buy a small courtyard house near the central square.
The city lord's mansion was used to receive guests, while the priest's hall was used for sacrifices and prayers.
As for daily living, a smaller space feels more cozy.
Lang Cang naturally listened to Lin Baiyan. He didn't care where he lived, as long as he was with Lin Baiyan, he could sleep on the grassland.
Lin Baiyan went to the City of Ten Thousand Beasts early in the morning, as there wasn't much to do at the training camp.
Lang Cang thought it best to move his house today and give Lin Baiyan a surprise.
Lin Baiyan was grinding flour with a stone mill in the central square. Cocoa wheat went into the stone mill, and what came out was flour with a yellowish tinge.
Yang Ye watched Lin Baiyan's actions with some curiosity, "High Priest, is this the flour you mentioned?"
Lin Baiyan's hands kept moving. "That's right, this is a good stuff. Once we grind it into flour, we'll make a pot of noodles!"
Noodles, what are those?
While smiling and fanning her priest brother, Xia the kitten flattered him, saying, "What the High Priest brother makes must be the most delicious!"
"That's right! High Priest Brother is the best!"
Lin Baiyan looked at this group of mindless brats and smiled without saying a word.
The little lynx at the very back clung tightly to Lang Yu's animal skin coat, as if afraid he would abandon it.
Wolf Rain patted Lynx's little hand helplessly, "Uncle Itachi isn't here, so don't worry so much."
Little Lynx looked around with its little head, then shook its head firmly and warily, "You can't let me go!"
If you let go, that beastman will capture you and make you his cub!
Lin Baiyan sensed the unease in the cub's tone. He beckoned, and a male beastman nearby quickly took over the work from him.
Lin Baiyan patted the powder off his hands, walked up to the little lynx, squatted down, rubbed the cub's head, and said softly, "What is the river afraid of?"
"High Priest brother, Mother, do you not want me anymore?" Little Lynx saw Lin Baiyan and released Wolf Rain's animal skin coat, instead tightly grabbing Lin Baiyan.
Lin Baiyan gently hooked his little nose with her index finger. "Why would you think that? Your parents love you the most."
"Then why did he let He go out alone with other people?"
"Isn't he afraid of being kidnapped by the river?" The cub struggled to hold back its tears, its voice trembling with sobs.
This morning, my parents said they were moving today and it was inconvenient, so they just dumped me on that beastman named Itachi Wen.
He also said that this orc was his mother and father.
Little Lynx couldn't understand why a cub could have two mothers and fathers.
It must be that his parents disliked him for being too naughty, or they felt that He ate too much and didn't want to raise him anymore?
Little Lynx felt scared when he saw the slender sub-beastman, so he ran out the door and bumped into Wolf Rain and Cat Summer. He grabbed Wolf Rain and wouldn't let go, successfully becoming a little tail.
The little cub grew increasingly sad as it thought about it.
His little hands gripped Lin Baiyan's arm tightly. "High Priest Brother, He, He, eat less from now on. I'm very good and easy to take care of."
"I can still help my parents with chores, so please don't give the baby away to someone else."
Hearing the little cub's tender yet panicked voice, Lin Baiyan felt a pang of heartache. "Who said your parents don't want you? You are their lifeblood."
He pulled the cub into his arms. "High Priest, do you know who Itachi-kun is?"
"Yes, he's a bad guy who wants to kidnap babies," Little Lynx answered, sobbing.
Lin Baiyan was both amused and exasperated. "This is the City of Ten Thousand Beasts. Who could possibly kidnap you from here?"
"He was the father and mother of Xiaolinhe in his previous life."
"In your past life?" the cub asked, puzzled.
Lin Baiyan smiled and said, "It's Xiaolinhe's previous life, in which she lost her memories."
“Originally, Little Lynx was supposed to go somewhere else to be someone else’s cub, but the Beast God said that you are destined to be with your current parents, so he gave you to them to be their cub,” Lin Baiyan explained to him in simple terms.
"So, before becoming the cub of its mother and father, was the cub of that beastman?" Lynx wasn't stupid; it could understand.
Lin Baiyan rubbed the cub's head. "That's right, Little Lynx is so smart, so he's also your mother and father. Others only have one, but our Little Lynx has two mothers and fathers who love you."
"Don't be afraid. He wants to get closer to you. Wouldn't you like it if another person liked you?"
The cub tilted its head and thought seriously about the pale-faced but always smiling sub-beastman.
He looked up, bewildered. "So he didn't come to take the river away, he came to join us?"
Lin Baiyan said with a smile, "That's right, he's here to join Hehe's family."
After he finished speaking, he looked up at the figure hiding behind the house not far away.
Lin Baiyan lowered his head and pointed to the cub in his arms. Little Lynx received words that reassured him, and then looked at the gesture of his High Priest brother.
He thought for a moment, then got up from Lin Baiyan's arms and ran all the way to the figure.
When Itachi saw the small figure, he immediately tried to hide. He had followed the cub all the way here because he was worried about it. Itachi knew that the cub was still young and it was normal for it not to accept him.
He can wait.
Suddenly, a clear voice rang out, "High Priest brother said you are also my mother and father, but I don't remember anything from before, so how about I call you Mother Wen?"
Itachi looked at the tiny cub in front of him in disbelief. "What did you say?"
"I said, how about I call you Father-in-law Wen from now on?"
Itachi's tears fell instantly as he tried to open his eyes wide to see the cub's face clearly.
Lynx thought for a moment, then leaned closer and hugged his thigh. "Squat down."
After the orc squatted down, the little cub took out his own animal skin handkerchief, stood on tiptoe, and wiped away his tears.
"Don't cry, you won't be pretty if you keep crying."
Itachi nodded vigorously, "Okay, I won't cry, I won't cry."
He tentatively reached out his hands, wanting to hug the cub.
Seeing his cautious and careful movements, Little Lynx threw herself into his arms and whispered in his ear, "Father Wen, I'm sorry, I mistook you for a child abductor."
