Chapter 682 - 686: The Truth About the Cub Being Captured
This little cub seemed even younger than Gaiyin, obediently kneeling on the ground, ready to prostrate himself.
Su Tang hastily stepped forward to help him up while Qiu Mo assisted the elderly woman.
"Granny, there’s no need for this, we’ve only temporarily driven them away. They may well come back," Su Tang assured her.
However, the old woman insisted that the cub bow in gratitude. Su Tang couldn’t convince her otherwise and complied with her wishes.
Afterward, the granny held the cub in her arms again, tenderly stroking his face.
"I don’t know who you are, but you saved both me and the cub today, and for that, I am extremely grateful. Whatever you wish to know, provided that I am aware, I will not hesitate to tell you."
Su Tang glanced at Gaiyin, then took a step forward and asked, "When did the ruler of the kingdom start issuing orders to capture the younglings? Do you know what they want the cubs for?"
The old woman sighed deeply, her gaze wandering off into the distance.
"In the warm season of the last grand year, the ruler ordered that all the cubs in the city be gathered together, claiming that he wished to establish a school to take care of the cubs. Beastmen with cubs had to send their young ones there.
As the school was free of charge, many Beastmen sent their cubs. But little did they suspect, this was the beginning of a nightmare.
