Outside Ryan’s house, Olympus did not return directly to her residence.

Under the guise of visiting Suzanna, she went to Elder Scarlet’s house.

Scarlet had just fed Suzanna a bowl of gruel. With her throat injury, she could only eat these liquid foods.

Scarlet went into the kitchen to wash dishes and Olympus stood at the door calling out to him, “Elder.”

Scarlet looked back and saw her standing formally in the courtyard. She smiled, “I came to see Suzanna, I don’t know how bad her injury is?”

The women rescued from the tiger clan were timid, and Olympus had suddenly took the initiative and come to see Suzanna, so Scarlet found it somewhat unexpected.

But she was cheerful and had a good relationship with the tribe so far, so Scarlet didn’t think much of it and said, “I’m sorry. Suzanna just went back to bed. I’ll pass it on that you came when she wakes up.”

Olympus nodded without regret and should have gone away, but she did not move a step, “Right. . . Elder, I have one more thing.”
Scarlet said, “What’s the matter?”

Olympus’ eyes drooped and she stared at the floor, slowly saying, “I heard that Chief Ryan was also injured. I went to see him but he seems to live with a female. One that doesn’t look like we do.”

“Oh, you saw her,” Scarlet said placidly, as if having answered this many times, “Ryan brought her back from outside. She saved our leader before. She’s not a leopard. . .”

Olympus was stunned when she heard that. She had thought that she and Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu were the same, both saved by Ryan. But she had saved Ryan’s life?

Ryan was so incredible though, so how could he need a female to save him?

Olympus looked up in surprise and adjusted her face, “Is she going to stay in the leopard family?”

Scarlet said, “Should be.” He knew that the female had escaped two or three times, but was brought back by Ryan.

She was Ryan’s treasure, how could he let her leave?

Olympus slightly bit her lip, a little puzzled, “But. . . the tribe females live in the back, and she lives with Ryan Chief. Won’t that cause dissent?”

After all, the females of the leopard race were scarce and they had their own females, which every male dreamed about.
Scarlet pondered.

“She doesn’t seem to be good at taking care of people. . . When I went to see Chief  Ryan, she was cooking but she nearly burned down the kitchen. . .” Olympus saw Scarlet was wavering and smiled kindly. “There is an empty room in my place. If she moves in, I can teach her how to cook. I’m rather good at it.”

Scarlet seemed to realize this problem after Olympus had left.

Ryan never proposed to share Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu with the race, so did he want to monopolize her?

With Ryan’s skill. . . it wasn’t impossible.

However, the rules of the leopard race had been in place for hundreds of years. Once disrupted, the entire balance of the race would be broken.
