Wu Liang sneered in his heart.
Eternal allies?
In this world, there are no eternal allies, only eternal interests.
He knew Clan Leader Ya Duo's words had a hidden meaning; she was testing his bottom line.
"Clan Leader Ya Duo, between allies, it is only natural to help and support one another,"
Wu Liang said.
"The Black Rock Tribe needs rubber and various resources from the rainforest."
"And the Fox Tribe needs protection and a better life."
Yaduo's eyes flickered for a moment.
Wu Liang's words were very direct, pointing straight to the needs of both parties.
She knew Wu Liang was indicating that the Black Rock Tribe's help required something in return.
"Lord Wu Liang is right."
Yaduo smiled, her expression becoming even more charming.
"The Fox Tribe has lived deep in the rainforest for generations; naturally, we know its resources like the back of our hand."
"We are willing to provide these resources to the Black Rock Tribe free of charge."
"Free of charge?"
Wu Liang raised an eyebrow.
"Lord Wu Liang, the Fox Tribe... is willing to submit to the Black Rock Tribe,"
Yaduo said.
"Clan Leader Ya Duo, we are allies, not subjects."
He reached out and gently patted Yaduo's shoulder.
Yaduo's body trembled slightly; she could feel the strength and warmth emanating from Wu Liang's palm.
"From today onward, the Fox Tribe will be part of the Black Rock Tribe's protection."
Wu Liang said.
"Your clansmen, just like the Cat-ear Tribe, can learn the knowledge and master the technology of the Black Rock Tribe."
"I promise you that under the leadership of the Black Rock Tribe, the Fox Tribe will become stronger and more prosperous."
"Lord Wu Liang, I... I have one more request,"
Yaduo said.
"Speak," Wu Liang gestured.
"I hope... I can personally express the Fox Tribe's loyalty to you."
Yaduo's voice became even more seductive.
"I am willing to... become your woman, to serve you and bear your descendants."
Yaduo lightly bit her red lip with her pearly teeth, her eyes full of enchantment.
She suddenly slid from her chair and knelt at Wu Liang's feet, burying her head deeply.
Wu Liang's eyes narrowed slightly.
He hadn't expected Yaduo to be so direct.
"Clan Leader Ya Duo, are you sure?"
Wu Liang asked, a hint of playfulness in his voice.
Yaduo's gaze was firm:
"I am sure. I am willing to dedicate everything of the Fox Tribe to you."
"To a powerhouse like you, no one would think otherwise."
"Yaduo implores the Lord to... perform a Bloodline Linkage with me!"
Wu Liang looked at Yaduo and laughed heartily.
"Good."
Wu Liang said.
"I accept your loyalty!"
"Are you ready?" he whispered.
Yaduo closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and then she nodded heavily.
Wu Liang no longer hesitated; he leaned down and kissed her soft red lips.
The bonfire outside gradually died out, and the night grew deeper.
Inside the room, the candlelight flickered, reflecting their entwined figures.
That night, Wu Liang and Yaduo spent the night in the command tent.
Yaduo's charm and seductiveness gave Wu Liang an unprecedented experience.
A different kind of fullness and soft elasticity—every intimate contact made Wu Liang's heart sway.
Especially that voice that could make one's bones melt; Wu Liang's delightful experience made him feel like he was ascending to heaven in a spiral.

The next morning, Yaduo woke up in Wu Liang's bed.
She slowly opened her eyes; her phoenix eyes were rippling with infatuation, and her charming face was full of satisfaction.
"Mas... Master."
"Come again..."
"No, I have things to do today. Handle it yourself."
"Oh my..."
The experience Wu Liang gave her was beyond imagination.
She wanted to continue swaying.
But Wu Liang had business and refused her.
Becoming Wu Liang's woman, Yaduo felt she had gained immensely.
Shortly after, Di Lulu, the Clan Leader of the Dog Clan, also arrived.
She brought several Dog Clan elders and Guards, arriving at the Black Rock Tribe's camp on the day after Yaduo left.
Di Lulu was even more voluptuous than Yaduo, with a figure even more startling than Florgloria's.
Wu Liang had no doubt she could literally knock someone over with her 'assets'.
Di Lulu had short brown hair, drooping dog ears, and a fluffy tail wagging behind her.
"Great leader of the Black Rock Tribe, Lord Wu Liang."
Di Lulu's voice was full of a mature womanly charm, gentle and refreshing to the heart.
"I am Di Lulu, Clan Leader of the Dog Clan. On behalf of the Dog Clan, I offer you my highest respects and thank you for quelling the beast tide."
"Clan Leader Di Lulu is too polite."
Wu Liang's tone was gentle.
"The Cat-ear Tribe and I are allies; helping each other is only right."
A simple and honest smile appeared on Di Lulu's face.
She saw that Wu Liang wasn't putting on airs, and her respect for him grew.
"Lord Wu Liang, the Fox Tribe has already made their choice."
Di Lulu was blunt.
"We, the Dog Clan, are also willing to follow the Black Rock Tribe."
Wu Liang's heart stirred.
"Clan Leader Di Lulu, are you sure?"
Wu Liang asked.
Di Lulu nodded vigorously:
"I am sure. When the beast tide came, our Dog Clan suffered heavy losses."
"It was your bravery and strength that gave us hope."
"Though we of the Dog Clan are not good with words, we know that only by following the strong can we survive."
A smile curled on the corner of Wu Liang's mouth.
"Very well."
Wu Liang said.
"Clan Leader Di Lulu, you have made a wise choice."
"Lord Wu Liang, I..."
Di Lulu said, a shy expression appearing on her face.
"I also hope... I can personally express the Dog Clan's loyalty to you."
That night, Di Lulu's passion made Wu Liang feel as if he were wrapped in cotton.
Every moment made Wu Liang's heart sway.

The next morning.
Wu Liang walked out of the tent and saw Mia nearby, waiting for him anxiously.
"Lord Wu Liang!"
Mia ran over.
Her cat ears flickered slightly, and her amber eyes were full of concern.
Wu Liang smiled at her:
"Mia, have you been waiting for me for a long time?"
