Chapter 169: Building a Snowman
She is tall, slightly taller than Xia Yueke, and exudes a unique charm.
Yuanyuan is still as cute and lovely as ever, without any change.
When Yuanyuan saw Xia Yueke had also turned into a little beast, her face instantly wrinkled up and she said with a sad face:
"This morning I went to play with Jingru with great joy, but who could have imagined that she had already transformed into a young beast? Now you're like this too, Keke. What should I do? I still have a long way to go before reaching the second stage, and there are only two months left in this winter season."
Xia Yueke hurried forward, gently took Yuanyuan's hand, and comforted her gently:
"Okay, Yuanyuan, don't worry. There are still two months left in this winter season. With your intelligence and hard work, you will definitely be able to advance smoothly. I have confidence in you."
"Yes, yes, Yuanyuan, you can definitely do it. We went through a lot of trouble today and asked around for a long time before we finally found Keke's home."
As Jingru spoke, she gently stroked her hair that was messed up by the wind. There was a hint of fatigue in her eyes, but more of it was the joy of seeing Xia Yueke.
"Don't be unhappy about this. It's a rare occasion for us to get together, so we should have some fun!"
Jingru's orc partner beside him nodded slightly.
The orcs behind Yuanyuan also exchanged glances with each other, as if they were secretly thinking about how to make Yuanyuan happy.
One of the orcs walked forward, squatted down, gently pinched his round face, and said in a muffled voice:
"Yuanyuan, don't be so sad, we are here with you."
Xia Yueke's eyes lit up and she excitedly suggested:
"In that case, let's build a snowman together! I know a really fun way to do it."
When Yuanyuan heard this, the gloom on her face immediately dissipated a little, and she asked curiously:
"Really? Coco, then you should teach us."
So, Xia Yueke brought Jingru and Yuanyuan to an open snowy area.
She first rolled a big snowball to serve as the body of the snowman, explaining the technique as she rolled it:
"You have to compact the snow so that the snowballs don't fall apart easily."
Jingru and Yuanyuan tried to learn seriously, but Yuanyuan's little hands were not strong enough, and the snowball could never be rolled into a round shape, which made her so anxious that she stamped her feet.
Seeing this, Jingru smiled and went over to help. Together, the two of them finally rolled out a decent snowball.
Then, Xia Yueke rolled a smaller snowball and placed it on top as a head. She then used stones to give the snowman eyes and a mouth, and used branches to make arms.
Jingru suddenly had an idea. She broke off a leafy branch from the tree next to her and put it on the snowman's head as a hat, which immediately made the snowman look more playful.
The male beastmen standing by watched them busying around, their faces filled with smiles.
At this moment, the naughty Yuanyuan took advantage of Jingru's inattention and secretly rolled a snowball and threw it at her. Jingru screamed and snowflakes splashed all over her body.
"Okay, Yuanyuan, how dare you sneak attack me!"
Jingru was not willing to be outdone and quickly fought back. Xia Yueke was also drawn into the fight and joined the battle with a smile.
For a moment, snowballs were flying in the air.
Qian Jingyao saw Xia Yueke being hit by a snowball, feeling both distressed and amused, so he joined in.
He was agile and dodged the attacks with a few dodges, then quickly counterattacked and soon became the main force on the battlefield.
Qian Jingyao seized the opportunity, shuttled through the rain of snowballs, and cleverly came to Xia Yueke's side, protecting her behind him. At the same time, his hands did not stop, throwing snowballs quickly and accurately hitting the orcs on the opposite side.
Seeing this lively scene, other male orcs couldn't help but join the snowball fight.
A tall and mighty orc laughed heartily and threw a huge snowball with great force, which streaked across the sky like a cannonball.
Another more agile orc dodged left and right in the snow, throwing snowballs from hiding from time to time.
Xia Yueke was not to be outdone. She bent down and kneaded the snowball quickly, her eyes flashing with excitement and stubbornness. Although the snowball felt a little cold when it hit her body, the enthusiasm in her heart grew stronger.
She threw the snowball in her hand towards Qian Jingyao and shouted:
"Watch this, Qian Jingyao!"
Qian Jingyao dodged it easily with a smile, then pretended to be angry and threw a snowball in return.
Qingyan watched them playing snowballs from the side, his eyes full of curiosity and excitement.
He also wanted to join in, but was a little at a loss. He just stood there smiling foolishly, rolling snowballs with his hands, but didn't know where to throw them.
He finally mustered up the courage to throw a snowball, but because he threw it too hard, it broke apart in mid-air, causing everyone around him to burst into laughter.
Qingyan's face turned red, making him look even more silly and cute.
When Xia Yueke saw Qing Yan's embarrassment, he suddenly had an idea and decided to turn his prank on Qing Yan.
When Xia Yueke saw Qingyan's ignorant and silly embarrassment, his eyes rolled and evil thoughts instantly came to his mind. He decided to play a good trick on Qingyan.
She crouched down and searched quietly in the snow, finally finding a piece of ice of the right size.
At this time, Qingyan was concentrating on making a snowball and was completely unaware of the impending "prank".
Xia Yueke suppressed her smile and pretended to be nonchalant as she walked over to Qing Yan and seriously discussed snowball fight tactics with him:
"Qingyan, I think we can attack from the side later."
Qing Yan nodded seriously:
"Yue, what you said seems to make sense."
Just when Qing Yan approached without any preparation, Xia Yue was able to stuff the ice into his animal skin collar with lightning speed.
As soon as the ice cube entered his arms, Qing Yan froze instantly, and the expression on his face changed drastically. First he was shocked, then his facial features wrinkled up, he hissed with cold air, his body twisted uncontrollably, and his hands groped frantically in his clothes.
After finally taking out the ice, Qing Yan looked at Xia Yueke, his eyes full of grievance and confusion, and he muttered:
"Yue, why do you treat me like this?"
Xia Yueke couldn't hold it back any longer and burst into a hearty laugh:
"Qingyan, it's because you were so cute just now that I couldn't help it!"
Qing Yan scratched his head, still looking confused:
"But it's really cold like this."
Xia Yue was so amused that tears came out of her eyes, and she kept slapping her thighs with her hands:
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you next time. Let's continue playing snowballs."
"A-choo!"
Yuanyuan sneezed, and her partner thought she was going to be sick, so he was scared and wanted to take her back home quickly.
Yuanyuan shook his hand off and said angrily:
"I'm not that delicate, it's just that my nose is a little itchy."
As she spoke, she rolled another snowball and threw it at Xia Yueke, "Keke, it's all your fault. You made me laugh so hard that I sneezed."
Xia Yueke dodged Yuanyuan's attack with a smile and replied:
"Well, you still dare to blame me, wait and see how I deal with you."
