Chapter 52: Beast World (16)

The next morning, Chu Yun woke up and saw Qianqian and Leopard Beast under the tree. They were waiting under the tree as if they had something to say.

Chu Yun knew Meng Ze must have discovered them:

"Why didn't you tell me Qianqian was here? You made me wait for so long!"

"are you sleeping."

"Then you can't wake me up, that's so rude."

"But you were sleeping."

Mengze answered in a serious tone, as if nothing was more important to him than Chuyun's sleep.

Chu Yun secretly cursed Meng Ze, who looked like an old scholar but said something quite pleasant to the ear.

"Carry me down." Chu Yun stretched out his hand towards Mengze.

Mengze was very familiar with the situation. He picked up Chu Yun in a very skillful manner, made sure that Chu Yun was sitting comfortably in his arms, and then took Chu Yun down.

"Chu Yun, you're awake!"

"Sorry I overslept... Why are you here? You must have been waiting here for a long time."

Luo Qianqian twitched her lips and looked at Mengze. Mengze just looked at Chuyun, his hands restlessly rubbing Chuyun's ears.

"Not long..."

"I've been waiting for so long!"

Qianqian and Leopard Beast spoke at the same time, feeling awkward.

The leopard was very dissatisfied about why they had to wait. It was just that the lion fainted and went to the doctor. What did it have to do with them?

Chu Yun spoke up to break the awkwardness: "Come up and sit down. My little tree house is very comfortable."

Mengze tightened his arms. He didn't like outsiders entering his and Chuyun's home, as that would mix the smells in the tree house. He especially didn't like this female that Chuyun had a crush on!

But he would not offend Chu Yun in front of outsiders, so he did not say anything.

"We won't go up there. We'll just tell you something and then we'll leave."

Mengze thought that this female was quite sensible.

"There's a lion beast looking for you. He was injured yesterday and I took him to Doctor Deer. Do you know this person?"

Mengze took back his previous thought and wanted to beat someone up.

"It's Shi Cheng!"

Luo Qianqian also nodded: "I think it was called this name, I can't remember it clearly, Baoyuan?"

The leopard beast nodded reluctantly in agreement.

Chu Yun was very worried. What did Shi Cheng want to do with him? He was also injured: "How could Shi Cheng be injured? Is the injury serious?"

Luo Qianqian was unsure of their relationship. Seeing Mengze's pretty face was as black as the bottom of a pot, she chose to tell the truth:

"It's pretty serious, you're covered in wounds. He vomited blood when I mentioned you yesterday, and his eyes were scary."

Chu Yun was terrified. What was Shi Cheng trying to do? Just because he didn't tell him he was a male? He was so angry that he vomited blood!?

But he felt that Shi Cheng was not here to beat him up. After all, they had been getting along quite well in those few days, so it shouldn't be the case...

When Mengze heard the news about the lion, he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. After all, he had seen the lion and Chuyun getting along. The lion valued Chuyun very much and took Chuyun with him wherever he went. The two were inseparable.

If they hadn't quarreled, Mengze wouldn't have succeeded, and the good life he and Chuyun had now would no longer exist.

He would never allow the lion to interfere now!

He didn't care about Chu Yun's reputation anymore and just hugged Chu Yun and left.

Knowing that Mengze might be jealous, Chu Yun didn't care and walked around with Mengze in his arms as if to vent his anger. He lifted up Mengze's soft long hair and played with it around his fingers.

He was thinking about what to do. Mengze watched his hair passing through Chuyun's white and tender fingertips.

Neither of them spoke for a while.

It was Chu Yun who spoke first:

"...Mengze, I want to go see Shicheng."

Mengze didn't say anything, but he held Chuyun even tighter, his big hands tightly gripping Chuyun's slender waist, fearing that he would run away.

Chu Yun knew that Meng Ze would definitely take her with him in the end, and as long as she showed a strong desire to go, he would not refuse her.

But Chu Yun still started to talk about some things that happened before he met Meng Ze:

"Before I met you, I was cold and hungry. I only had a few potatoes in my cave... You know, I couldn't even light a fire."

"I had a fever that day, but I still had to go outside to find food. If I didn't find food, I wouldn't be able to survive the cold season... I would die..."

The arm under him trembled, and Chu Yun was hugged and patted.

He continued: "I really felt like I was going to die. My head was aching... I was so hungry that I couldn't even stand up and had to lie down against a tree."

"It was Shi Cheng who saved me, fed me with precious green crystals, and gave me food to eat and animal skins to wear."

"...I really thought of him as a good friend, but he actually thought I was a female. It sounds ridiculous... He left angrily, saying there's no friendship between males..."

Chu Yun lowered his head in disappointment as he spoke.

"But if he hadn't taken me in, I don't know how much suffering I would have endured. I might not have met Meng Ze, and I might even have died. After all, the winter season is really cold."

What Chu Yun wanted to express was that people should have a conscience. Since he heard the news that Shi Cheng was injured, it was impossible for him to pretend not to hear it and continue eating, drinking and having fun.

After all, Shi Cheng is really good to him.

Mengze felt heartbroken after hearing this. He didn't know that the little rabbit had lived such a life before and had suffered so much.

I only regret that I didn't meet him earlier.

"I'll take you there."

The little rabbit smiled and looked at him with his big, curved eyes: "Mengze is the best!"

Humph, you only know how to coax him. But he would never let Shizi return to Chuyun!

Doctor Lu lives in a three-room thatched house with a small yard where many herbs are planted. From a distance, it looks like a country farm house.

Mengze brought Chuyun into the house. As soon as they entered the thatched house, they saw the living room. It could barely be called a living room, as it was quite simple, with a rest area made of straw and many bottles and jars on the floor.

There was a stone pot in the corner, in which a black medicinal soup was boiling, and some strange things were added into it while it was cooking.

Chu Yun rubbed his eyes. Wait! He seemed to see that Doctor Lu added cockroaches in it?!

There were several orcs inside with their females and cubs asking for medicine. The doctor poured out the medicine and distributed it to them in bowls. The air was filled with an unpleasant bitter and sour smell, and all the orcs drank it in one gulp!

Looking at the pot of medicinal soup, Chu Yun secretly leaned over to Meng Ze and whispered in his ear: "How terrible! I don't want to get sick."

Meng Ze smiled and whispered in Chu Yun's ear: "Then be obedient and eat more."

Chu Yun didn't let Meng Ze hold him this time. Meng Ze turned into a human form. He didn't like others looking at him with disgust and disdain when they saw Meng Ze's snake tail. Chu Yun felt uncomfortable.

Doctor Lu noticed Chu Yun at the door and said, "Little female, are you sick? What's wrong with you? Come here and I'll give you a bowl of detoxification soup."

Facing Doctor Lu's enthusiasm, Chu Yun quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no, I'm not a female, and I'm not sick."

When he heard that Chu Yun was not a female, Doctor Lu's enthusiasm faded a lot: "Oh, why are you here if you are not sick?"

Meng Ze behind him didn't say anything, so Chu Yun said, "Is there a wounded lion beast here? Let me take a look at him."

Doctor Lu thought of the stubborn lion and nodded, "Yes, there is a lion. Who are you to him?"

Chu Yun couldn't answer. He wanted to say that he was Shi Cheng's friend, but Shi Cheng himself didn't admit it, so it was shameless of him to say it.

"…It's nothing, we just know each other."

After saying this, a person came out from the small room on the right.

“Clouds…”
