Chapter 259: Don’t Want Them Anymore

“Everyone, follow me first. When we reach the front, look for a place to stay first. Well talk about other things after you guys have settled down.” Tiger Might quickly came back to his senses. He had become very proficient in managing the residential side during this period of time.

Su Ying said, “You guys don’t have to worry. It’s very safe in the city. Even if the Nan State’s army comes, they won’t be able to break in. You guys follow Tiger Might. The tribal chiefs of the various tribes will manage their own people in their respective tribes. If there’s any problem, you can directly liaise with Tiger Might.”

“Thank you, City Lord Su.”

All they wanted now was a safe place to stay. They wouldn’t dare to ask for too much. After all, they still didn’t understand what was going on in Sky Alpha City.

Yang Zhong followed right at the back, and the cattle and sheep that he brought were all herded to the livestock sheds by Jiang Yang and his companions.

Fortunately, Jiang Yang’s group had cleared out the livestock sheds earlier. Otherwise, with so many livestock coming at once, they really didn’t know where to put them.

“This is the tribal chief of the Shepherd Tribe, Yang Zhong.” Zhang Nuo and his tribesmen were going to take refuge in Sky Alpha City temporarily. The people from the Shepherd Tribe were here to deliver the cattle and sheep and to understand the situation in the city. It was not appropriate for the Shepherd Tribe to follow Tiger Might.

Xiao Jin nodded slightly at Yang Zhong. “Tribal Chief Yang, you and your tribesmen had a hard journey here. Please come to the inner hall for a chat.”

Su Ying brought Yang Zhong and his men to the palace. As they walked, the tribesmen looked at the patrolling guards along the way. Yang Zhong could sense a respectful and disciplined atmosphere.

“Are the children alright?”

Xiao Jin glanced at her indifferently. “Every night, they would ask why you haven’t come back and whether it was because you don’t want them anymore.”

Su Ying frowned deeply. “You didn’t explain to them?”

“Explain what?”

“Explain that it’s not that I don’t want them.” Su Ying glared at Xiao Jin. After some thought, she sped up and ran back to the palace.

As soon as she entered, she saw the two little ones standing at the staircase by the main entrance, staring at her plaintively with their big, round eyes. Those pitiful eyes almost melted Su Ying’s heart.

However, this time, they did not rush over to her like before. Instead, they stood at the staircase and hid behind the railing when they saw her looking in their direction.

“Ling, Ji, don’t you recognize Mother?”

The older toddler Ji’s tiny hand held the younger toddler Ling’s hand tightly, but he didn’t step forward. Su Ying felt very awful when she saw him like this.

She could only walk slowly to the two of them and squat down to look at them. “What’s wrong?”

Ling couldn’t hold it in eventually. She looked at Su Ying before bursting into tears with a loud cry and throwing herself into Su Ying’s arms. “I miss you so much, Mother! Boo hoo hoo…”

Ji pursed his lips and did not cry, but his eyes were red-rimmed. His diminutive demeanor appeared so aggrieved.

Su Ying picked them up and walked into the inner hall to sit down. “Mother missed you two so much too. Don’t cry. Isn’t Mother back now?”

“Mother, don’t go away anymore, okay?” Ling’s tiny arms were tightly wrapped around Su Ying’s neck. Her voice was soft and tremulous, and Su Ying’s heart went all soft when she heard her words.

“Mother promises not to go away. But Mother brought back a lot of cattle and sheep this time. Later, Mother will bring you two to take a look, okay?”

“Mm-hmm.”

The older toddler Ji didn’t say anything, but he leaned against Su Ying, unwilling to let go at all.

Su Ying simply left the task of receiving Yang Zhong and his men to Xiao Jin. She carried the two children back to the sleeping chamber to play.

Right now, nothing was more important than spending time with her children.

When she entered the inner chamber, she found that the archery target was still there.

Ling wriggled her way down from Su Ying’s body. She said with a little pride, “Mother, I can already hit the tenth ring, you know.”

When Su Ying had just left, the little fellow was just a second-ring contestant.

“Quick. Show Mother quickly.”

Ling giggled and stood behind the line with the little ball in her hand. After a moment of silent aiming, she threw the ball in her hand out quickly.

Ding!

Ling hit it, and the shot was very accurate!

Ji could not keep a low profile when he saw his younger sister being so smug. “Mother, Father… Father taught me archery.”

“Oh? Really?”

“Mm-hmm!”

Ji then took out the small bow from a basket that Tian Mu had made for him as if he was presenting a treasure. There were also two small wooden arrows.

Su Ying watched as he drew the small bow back very solemnly and aimed at the target in front of him.

The moment the chubby little hand loosened its grip, the wooden arrow flew out.

Ding!

He hit it!

Su Ying’s eyes were filled with great joy. She had only left for a short time, and her son could already draw a bow and shoot arrows!

“That’s amazing, Ji!” Su Ying showered him with praise generously.

The little one also raised his chin proudly. “It’s just a normal shot.”

“Mother, I watched Big Brother shooting arrows every day.” Ling’s tiny hands were not that strong and could not draw the bowstring yet. Xiao Jin told her to continue practicing shooting balls at the target. It seemed that even though Xiao Jin was busy during this period of time, he did not slack off in teaching the children.

“You two are very powerful. Later, Mother will get you two little ponies and teach you how to ride, okay?”

“Okay! Okay! I want to ride a pony!”

“Mother, Teacher Chu said that we will start school in three days.”

“That’s good. This way, you two can get to meet many more friends.”

“Mm-hmm!”

When Su Ying came back, the two little fellows wished they could stick themselves on her body. Chu Yun knew that the children missed their mother dearly, so he didn’t ask them to continue their lessons in the afternoon.

“City Lord, City Lord! You’re finally back.”

Su Ying was playing happily with her two children when she heard Aunt Zhao’s joyful voice outside the door.

She turned around and saw Aunt Zhao and the others hurrying in. At this moment, they didn’t care about the rules and immediately pounced at Su Ying and grabbed her in a bear hug.

“City Lord! Quick, let me take a look. Did you lose weight?”

Aunt Zhao happily held Su Ying as she scrutinized the latter up and down many times. “I thought you would lose weight when you went out, City Lord. I didn’t expect you to have grown so chubby. This is great. It’s good to be chubby. You will look more pretty if you are chubby.”

Su Ying reached out and pinched her face. Had she grown chubby?

She didn’t eat much along the way. She only ate a few whole goats and a fair amount of beef at the Shepherd Tribe’s place.

“City Lord, quickly tell us what else we don’t know about the northern wilderness,” Bai Shuang asked, brimming with interest.

Lin Zhuyu chimed in as well. “That’s right, City Lord. We’re all dying of curiosity.”

“Sure. Sit down. I’ll tell you guys all about it.”

Su Ying sat on the chair with her legs crossed and leisurely told them about what happened after she left the northern wilderness.

The more they listened, the more shocked the listeners became. The curiosity and anticipation on their faces were all gone.

“City Lord, do you think those Nan State people will come after us again?”

Su Ying couldn’t say for certain, but she wasn’t worried about this. She had said before that Sky Alpha City was easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as they had enough food, even if an entire state’s army attacked, it was not certain which side would die from exhaustion.

Moreover, whether it was the Nan State or the Chu State, there was no reason for them to send a large-scale army to attack them, at least not for now..
