Chapter 512: Zi Shang's City (1)
“Lady Yun, I know you’re a good person. But our clan really can’t afford to take on any more risks right now.” Elder Rabbit might have softened his attitude towards Yun Jiuge a little, but he still did not accept the bowl of meat porridge from her.
“I’m not asking you to take on more risks. The truth is, I have plans to build a city, and there’ll be large amounts of food in there to help the human-beast hybrids live through the winter. From what I’ve heard earlier, it seems that your clan is very good at farming. Thus, I hope you can return to that city with me. You will also be reunited with your clan members there once I save them,” Yun Jiuge said.
Yun Jiuge sounded very sincere, but the Elder Rabbit still remained hesitant to take her up on her offer.
“I hope you’ll not refuse my invitation. Winter is coming soon, and your clan will not be able to get past it in your current condition.” Yun Jiuge looked at the small rabbits that were currently taking a rest after enjoying a hearty meal.
“Thank you for the invitation, but I’m unable to reach a decision right now. How about asking our clan leader once you’ve rescued her?” Elder Rabbit asked slyly.
“Sure. I noticed that some of the rabbits are injured. Apply this medicine on them!” Yun Jiuge chose to pass the Daqing Grass over to the Elder Rabbit instead of trying to earn the rabbits’ affection through treating their injuries personally.
“Thank you for the medicine,” replied Elder Rabbit as it nodded its head gratefully. It still did not know whether Yun Jiuge was a good or bad person, but at the very least, she was being a great help to its clan members at the moment.
“No problem,” Yun Jiuge replied before she took a seat next to the bonfire and began adding water to the stone bowl. She was going to prepare even more meat porridge to feed the human-rabbit hybrid clan members.
The next morning, Yun Jiuge made preparations to return to the Eagle Cliff. Instead of bringing the human-rabbit hybrid clan with her, she made them stay at the cave and wait for their return. She got A’hui and the rest to bring over a large amount of branches, while she ordered A’gu and Guo’er to remain behind in the cave to keep them company.
