The tigers are coming, and this is a serious problem. There are two options for Alexander, Damian, and Abyssyus: first, they can take the young female beast to the second district, which is the closest to here, and avoid the tiger tribe. Second, they can widen and deepen the basement of the road, and let the young female beast live there until the tiger tribe leaves, if they do leave.
If they choose the first option, then Alexander, Damian, and Abyssyus, as the leaders of their respective branches, equivalent to the highest leadership organization in the fifth district, will have to stay and assist in planning and building the new city, having personally experienced the ancient siege of the mutated ancient species. They definitely can't personally escort the young female beast to the second district and accompany her there. This responsibility can only fall on the remaining male beasts of the dog and wolf tribes who have seen Happiness. Whether or not they can trust their subordinates is secondary. The important thing is that districts one, two, and three are all hunting areas, mostly inhabited by freelance hunters from various tribes. If the young female beast is discovered by them, the consequences would be unimaginable.
If they choose the second option, Happiness can stay by the side of the three leaders. But as stated earlier, it is clear that the fifth district will be built as a new strategic city. As the project progresses, more and more beast tribes will settle in. Happiness may not see the light of day again, let alone when she reaches adulthood and has her period, her female scent will be even stronger. Staying underground does not guarantee that she won't be detected by male beasts with abnormally sensitive senses of smell.
They only have two days, or to be precise, a day and a half. Alexander and the other male beasts must make a decision: endure not seeing her for a while and send the young female beast to the relatively brighter and freer second district, or keep her in the basement of the fifth district for a long time, hiding and living there for an unknown period of time.
Happiness doesn't know that she has become a complete tragedy, with both hands full of troubles. She should be grateful that she still can't understand the language very well at the moment, so she sits in Alexander's arms and enjoys his intermittent strokes, not caring at all about what they are saying.
Abyssyus, being a member of the feline family, is more cautious and careful in his thinking. He vetoed Xiu's proposal to keep Happiness in the basement until she reaches adulthood, saying, "Happiness absolutely cannot stay in the fifth district. I suggest taking a little risk and sending her to the second district. Currently, there are few beasts there, and because there are few ancient species in the surrounding area, not many hunters go there. We can buy a house in the second district in advance and make all the necessary preparations. As long as we are careful on the way and when entering the city, Happiness will be safe."
Alexander and Damian have not expressed their opinions yet. Alexander rubs Happiness's head with his chin, filled with deep reluctance. Compared to Damian and Abyssyus, he is the one who can't bear to be separated from Happiness the most. She is the young female beast that he personally picked up from the desert, and she is also dependent on him. To forcibly separate them would be too cruel.
Abyssyus sighs and says, "Don't be like this. We can take turns visiting Happiness in the second district. At least there, she will have a good environment for growth. The basement cannot provide that. Or should we let Happiness live like a prisoner underground, in darkness and without seeing the light of day? Happiness is a young female beast who can shape-shift and has advanced intelligence to understand joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. Are we willing to treat her like this, just to satisfy our own desires? And the condition for her to suffer is not being discovered by other male beasts."
"How long have you known Happiness?" Damian frowns and says, "Our feelings for Happiness are even deeper than yours. Alexander and I definitely don't want Happiness to live underground, we all know that it's not conducive to the growth of young beasts. But isn't this us being unable to let go? Let me hold Happiness for a while." Damian looks distressed as he takes Happiness from Alexander's arms and kisses her soft lips for a while, before saying sadly, "I don't know when she will grow up."
Suddenly, Alexander's arms were empty. He rubbed his fingers, which had just been touching Happiness's hand, and said to Abyssyus, "Okay, I admit you're right. Actually, there's no need to discuss this matter at all. The Fifth District is no longer safe, but the Second District is a place where Happiness can grow up in peace. Besides, the three of us go hunting every day, so if we wait for two days, we can see her once. It's not too difficult to endure."
Abyssyus nodded quickly, "That's what I mean. Let's go over the whole thing again. I've already asked Lionel to go to the Fifth District. His fighting power is not inferior to the leader beast, and he can cooperate with the canine and wolf tribes to protect Happiness. We must ensure that nothing goes wrong."
"Black Shadow Lionel? How can you be sure he won't harm Happiness? If we're not around, they won't be a match forLionel." Alexander said.
"Hehe..." Abyssyus laughed mysteriously, "Don't worry, even if Happiness is lying naked in front of my brother, he won't be tempted. He's a primitive beast in a primitive beast tribe. He never even watches science fiction movies. He can't eat when he sees a human female on the entertainment channel."
"He has this problem too? Why am I hearing about it for the first time?" Damian exclaimed, "So he'll protect Happiness while vomiting. Isn't that just exposing the target even more?"
Alexander also shook his head and said, "He hates the female beasts on TV, but he has never seen a real female beast. It's hard to say what will happen if he sees Happiness. You leopard tribe don't have to help. I'll take care of this."
"Yeah, if we're talking about sending Happiness away, we can make time to go with her. He doesn't need to help,"Damian added.
"Hey, hold on. When I said he'll vomit, it was just a metaphor!" Abyssyus tried to convince Alexander and Damian, "You've known me for so long, have I ever done anything unreliable as Leopard Abyssyus? Having one more strong fighting force means one more guarantee. No one can predict what might happen. At least we need a male beast with the power of a leader beast by Happiness's side!"
"Let's see how the situation is when he arrives," Damian signaled to Alexander.
"Don't worry, my brother has a severe aversion and fear of human females. He's the perfect bodyguard for Happiness. The things you're worried about won't happen," Abyssyus said confidently.
"?" Happiness was completely confused.
Since it was decided to send Happiness away, the canine and wolf tribes began to mobilize. Ben and Eliot both had decent combat power, and one would be a nanny while the other would be a father. Damian chose the gray wolf Lu Si and the black wolf Andy. These two wolves were relatively stable. Lu Si was older and had abundant knowledge of the wilderness. He was very familiar with the Second District. It was worth mentioning that he had many friends among the indigenous people. Andy was younger, but his combat strength was quite high. He had even hunted down two high-level ancient creatures barehanded without a scratch.
The young men knew that they had been entrusted with the sacred task of escorting and protecting Happiness, as well as accompanying her in her healthy growth. It was even more exciting than an old bachelor who couldn't afford a house and a wife suddenly winning fifty million. Lu Si was beaming with joy, not to mention the other three.
Andy seemed to be excited and his tongue was twitching. "S-s-so, are we the four protecting Happiness?"
Alexander said, "You chose such an impulsive guy? I think we're in trouble."
Damian rolled his eyes, "Please don't talk nonsense. Andy has been stuttering since birth. As a leader, how can you make fun of someone's physical defect? Besides, fighting doesn't rely on tongues!"
Alexander then fell silent, and after a few seconds, he apologized to Andy in a low voice.
Andy waved his hand casually and said with a smile, "I-it-it's fine, I-I-I will definitely protect Happiness, you all can rest assured!"
"So, uh, you better keep quiet." Damian felt a bit awkward because Andy, due to his natural disability, rarely spoke. Could it be that his calm and honest image was just a facade? Could it be that Andy was actually a chatterbox?!
The beasts were really concerned about Happiness's safety, but she continued her language learning leisurely. She put on her headphones, oblivious to the outside world, and focused only on her textbook. It wasn't until Ben took her textbook and put it in a big black backpack next to her that Happiness realized something was wrong. She held onto Ben's hand and saw that the few things in the backpack were all hers!
Happiness had a bad feeling. She took off her headphones and looked at Ben in confusion. Alexander was talking over there and walked over, shutting down her computer and closing the lid. He handed it to Ben along with her headphones.
"Why?" Happiness asked cautiously. Was there another battle about to take place? Did she have to go back into that underground hole? But what was with that dreamy smile on Ben's face?
It was quite difficult to explain this matter in words. Alexander hugged Happiness and took out a pen, drawing two houses on a piece of paper. He put a big cross on one of the houses and drew a curve that led to the other house. Alexander pointed at Happiness and then pointed at the crossed house, sliding his finger along the curve to the other side.
Oh! Happiness suddenly realized and pointed at where Alexander's finger was, saying, "Me? Go?"
Alexander nodded with a smile.
Alexander? Ben? Eliot? Go?" Happiness asked.
"Go," Alexander said. He would accompany Happiness and only leave after seeing her settled.
Happiness showed a relieved and lovely smile, nodded, and tossed a few cartoon discs into Lou's backpack. As long as they were together, it didn't matter where they went. Alexander also smiled. Such a little beast, he couldn't help but feel fond of her.
