Xiao Yeyu froze on the spot, his nose even feeling a little sore.

He never expected that a female who was not related to him would do so much for him.

Even his mother might not have been able to do this for him.

Males are born and taught to protect females.

When danger comes, females only need to hide.

And this woman before him, whom he once loathed, actually…

Thinking of this, Xiao Yeyu felt a pang of regret.

He actually had feelings for her, and even wanted her to disappear from this world.

It was simply because she had once said that she liked him and wanted to be his mistress.

At this moment, Xiao Yeyu's mind was in complete chaos.

Holding the female in his arms, his heart pounded like thunder.

He didn't know if he still felt disgusted by her.

But at this moment, he had no time to delve into it.

"This wind is not normal."

After Xiao Yeyu finished speaking, he looked up and said simply to Qi Liyuan beside him.

"Um."

Qi Liyuan also felt the sudden gust of wind, and there was an unnatural coolness under the midday sun.

He turned his head and swept the wind sharply towards its source.

At that moment, a sharp spike suddenly flew out of Xiao Yeyu's hand.

The orc hiding behind the tree trunk saw Qi Liyuan's sinister gaze, and then another arrow flew towards him. His pupils dilated instantly, and he immediately turned around and leaned against the tree trunk.

"duang..."

The arrow flying behind him instantly pierced another large tree in front of the orc.

Cold sweat poured down his forehead, and his body felt slightly weak. He immediately transformed back into his original form and darted into the forest to escape.

"They are jackals."

Qi Liyuan quickly deduced from his fleeing figure that the attacker was an orc.

Although the jackal tribe is similar in size and appearance to the wolf tribe, it is smaller and has a more conspicuous color.

"Looks like it's still the same one..."

Xiao Yeyu narrowed his eyes, a sinister glint flashing in them.

"How dare he plot against me! I think he has a death wish!"

Xiao Yeyu sat holding the female still in his arms and roared angrily, his chest vibrating with his voice.

"If I find out who he is..."

He held on tighter and tighter.

"Xiao Ye..."

Ling Yunxi patted his shoulder forcefully, trying to remind him.

Xiao Yeyu held her tightly, so tightly that there was almost no room for her chest and abdomen to move, making it hard for her to breathe.

Upon suddenly hearing a female voice, Xiao Yeyu realized that Ling Yunxi was still in his arms.

Feeling the female in his arms struggling slightly due to suffocation, Xiao Yeyu's body stiffened slightly.

He suddenly released his arm, pushing her away to within an arm's length.

His gaze swept quickly across her flushed face, and only after confirming that she was alright did he shake his hand away as if in disgust.

"call……"

Ling Yunxi, now free to breathe, took deep breaths.

That orc was incredibly strong; she almost suffocated.

Are you alright?

Seeing her face turn red from holding her breath, Xiao Yeyu said with some annoyance.

"I'm fine," Ling Yunxi shook her head.

"That……"

Seeing that she didn't blame him at all, Xiao Yeyu felt a complex mix of emotions.

Hesitantly, he said, "...You sit down first. We males can handle the grilling."

[Xiao Yeyu's dislike level decreased by 2; 47 points remain to complete the mission.]

Although Ling Yunxi is not his partner, in any situation, whenever a male and female are together, the male is always the one who does the work.

Today's occasion is no exception.

Xiao Yeyu got up and moved the meat next to him to the fire. After washing his hands, he began to sprinkle salt on the meat and roast it.

Qi Liyuan, Xiao Yeyu, and she sat around the fire.

Ling Yunxi rested for a while, but not wanting to be idle, she got up to bake something for herself.

She didn't expect two males who disliked her to grill meat for her.

After working so hard, she deserves some meat.

He was picking up a skewer of raw meat, ready to grill it.

Suddenly, a string of sizzling, oily skewers appeared in front of us.

The other person handed it over while also taking the raw meat skewers from her hand.

Ling Yunxi looked up at Qi Liyuan beside her and was stunned for a moment.

That cold, stern face remained expressionless, his golden eyes beneath long eyelashes unfathomable.

What's wrong with the cold-blooded beast today?

They actually grilled meat for her.

Could it be that they want her to test the poison?

Even after the grilled meat was handed to her, she was still unsure if it was for her.

"Take it."

Ling Yunxi only snapped out of her daze and took the roasted meat he handed her when Qi Liyuan's deep, clear voice came through.

"Thanks."

She eventually accepted it.

Qi Liyuan ignored her thanks and continued grilling the meat.

Jiang Yichuan and Xuan Yize, on the other side, had also returned from their hunt and started grilling the meat.

Xuan Yize's eyes widened when he caught sight of Qi Liyuan handing Ling Yunxi a skewer of grilled meat.

He never expected that Qi Liyuan would actually grill meat for Ling Yunxi.

This must be his hallucination.

He glanced at her again and saw that Xiao Yeyu had also handed her a skewer!

Xuan Yize's silver-blue eyes widened in shock once again.

"What, did you see something unclean?"

Jiang Yichuan asked, looking in the direction of his gaze.

Seeing the three of them getting along harmoniously, the fox's eyes also revealed a hint of surprise.

Qi Liyuan and Xiao Yeyu were actually sitting with Ling Yunxi grilling meat!

He must have been sunburned.

Just then, two beasts passed by.

"Hey, did you hear? Ling Yunxi and Pu Yueling just had a fight, and guess what happened?"

"What's wrong?"

"Qi Liyuan almost got into a fight with Sang An to protect Ling Yunxi!"
