Hua Xi's birth delayed Chen Jiuge for almost half a month.

"If it only took half a month, I should have let Dali stay behind earlier!" Chen Jiuge sighed slightly in his heart.

Previously, Chen Jiuge had said that if Bai Li and Feng Cang were willing to set off first, they would take Zi Qianlian and Dali with them, but after Zi Qianlian's reminder, Chen Jiuge still kept Zi Qianlian behind.

Knowing now that the changes in the Nine Yang Land only took half a month, he should have just left Dali behind as well.

Dali's true form is a monkey, and beasts are much faster in dense forests than human cultivators. With Dali's help, Chen Jiuge could have caught up with the main force, but now it seems impossible.

"Buns, freshly steamed Flood Dragon Buns, only One Star money!"

"Ganlu Fruit, freshly picked Ganlu Fruit, only Three Stars coins!"

The shouting on both sides gradually relaxed Chen Jiuge's mood!

If it weren't for the unusual items being sold by these vendors, Chen Jiuge would feel like he's back in ancient times. It's this breath of life that enables people to truly feel the vitality of life.

"Clan Leader?"

"Huh? You're Ku Ruo?" Chen Jiuge looked at the familiar big guy, and a familiar figure also appeared in his memories, slowly overlapping with reality.

Dabai's Barbecue Shop, in a private room.

Chen Jiuge looked at Ku Ruo, who had a bitter expression, and asked in confusion: "What's going on with you now?"

Ku Ruo is Ku Tou's son and the leader of their enclave. The first time Chen Jiuge met Ku Tou, he was a frail old man bedridden and unable to take care of himself.

Ku Ruo was then the spirited leader of the enclave, and he even fought a battle with the original Akam, being slightly stronger than Akam.

Later on, Chen Jiuge didn't know much about Ku Ruo, as with the expansion of the Akam Tribe, the personnel became more complex, and there were more and more cumbersome affairs; Chen Jiuge had no energy to pay attention to other less important people.

"Glug"

Ku Ruo drank down his drink in one gulp, his face showing a hint of bitterness: "Clan Leader, you've got to stand up for me!"

"What happened?"

Ku Ruo said sadly: "After choosing to follow the City Lord back then, I, Ku Ruo, may not have made great contributions, but I was certainly brave against the enemy!"

"It was a hard time waiting for the Star Moon Tribe to be established, and when our clansmen went out, we were considered more prestigious than other tribes!"

"Yes!"

"Then everything changed!"

Ku Tou's face showed an extremely complex expression: "Clan Leader, I know you are an outsider, as are many people in the tribe, so your lifestyle is somewhat different."

"And then?"

"Then, Old Father Ku Tou saw it!"

"I've now married eight wives and have seventeen children. As a tall and robust man, it's one thing not to be allowed to go out and fight, but staying at home every day to look after kids, does that make sense?"

"Pfft!"

"Eight wives, seventeen children?" Chen Jiuge was stunned by the numbers!

The Star Moon Tribe has only been established for ten-odd years, and Ku Ruo has been marrying a wife every year or two, and almost having more than one child every year?

"Yes, aren't you about family?"

"Old Father Ku Tou thought we were too few, so he had me desperately have more children. Now that he has recovered, I can't beat him!" Ku Ruo said with a helpless face.

"Hahaha, this may be a good thing in hindsight, after all, what Ku Tou did carries a lot of risks!"

Chen Jiuge comforted him.

Ku Ruo's strength actually wasn't weak. Initially, he was a bit stronger than Akam. Now, he's already broken through to Daluo. Although he may not compare to Akam, who received his father's generous gifts, he shouldn't be far behind.

At least, his name can still be ranked in the entire Star Moon Tribe!

"But, I can't stay home watching the kids all day, and besides, I don't want to have any more!" Ku Ruo exclaimed, frustrated.

"Do you currently hold any position?"

"No, Old Father Ku Tou just lets me stay home and take care of the kids!"

"If you don't mind, you could join the Law Enforcement Team. With your strength, being a squad leader is more than enough!"

"It's just, you'll have to familiarize yourself with those tribal laws and regulations!"

"Ah!"

"You don't want to?"

"I do, just, ... okay, I'll try my best!"

"Yes!"

"Clan Leader, finally found you!"

Just after arranging things with Ku Ruo, Xiao Hong came gasping for breath as she pushed open the door to the private room, followed by Beng Yu's adopted son, Beng Ruo.

"What's going on?" Chen Jiuge asked with some confusion.

Ku Ruo was also a lot more astute than before; seeing this scene, he could tell there was something important going on, and sensibly took his leave.

"Bang"

The door of the private room was closed heavily, Xiao Hong gestured for Beng Ruo to sit, and could not suppress the shock on her face for a long time.

"Better have Beng Ruo tell you!"

Chen Jiuge turned his gaze to Beng Ruo and said: "What's the matter? Did something unexpected happen in Three Stars Town?"

"Greetings, Clan Leader, Three Stars Town is doing well. Everything is in order and the clansmen are very satisfied with the town." Beng Ruo greeted with hands clasped in salute.

"Satisfied?" Chen Jiuge was amused.

The group of people Beng Yu brought in, almost 80% of them, were the freeloading type, utterly spoiled by Beng Yu. To put it bluntly, if these people were thrown into the wild, they would become Fierce Beast food within three days.

Coincidentally, the Star Moon Tribe emphasizes a reward system based on labor, and after Chen Jiuge provided them with housing, the food he allocated was just for a normal month's supply.

Since housing is distributed according to family size, the food is distributed the same way. Families with larger populations are already facing a food crisis.
