Chapter 199 The Two People Who Want to Follow Home
Jingru said, "I want to visit other tribes with my partner. I heard there are many different scenery and new things out there. I want to go and broaden my horizons."
At this moment, Duzi, with his mouth full, mumbled:
"Don't think too much, just enjoy the food in front of you first, otherwise it won't taste good when it gets cold."
Rongqiu and Juanjuan also joined in, and everyone burst into laughter again, temporarily putting aside the sadness of parting.
The other orcs were also saying goodbye to their playmates.
Two of the females had already burst into tears, and the males' farewells were all kinds of strange.
"Hey, we're going to separate tomorrow. How about we have a fight to see who's the better one?"
A leopard orc said to a pangolin orc.
"Okay, we've been playing together for so long and we still don't know each other's strength!"
Teacher Diexu and Teacher Hu Wanchou were also watching the excitement with great interest.
Luo Cihe was also among them. He smiled as he watched the two young beasts who were about to fight, with no intention of stopping them.
There was no embarrassment about seducing others like yesterday.
He was still calm and composed, but his eyes were searching for something in the crowd.
Seeing the leopard and pangolin orcs about to fight, several nearby orcs gathered around. A rabbit orc jumped up and said, "Wow, there's going to be a fight! It's going to be exciting!"
A peacock orc spread out its gorgeous tail feathers and said, "Humph, these are just some barbaric behaviors. What's so interesting about them? I really don't understand them."
At this time, Teacher Diexu smiled and said, "This is also their unique way of saying goodbye. Feeling each other's strength and growth in battle can be regarded as a special end to this friendship."
Teacher Hu Wanchou nodded in agreement. "That's right. Orcs are always very direct in expressing their emotions to each other, unlike us who sometimes hide our feelings."
The leopard and pangolin orcs were already in position. The leopard orcs were slender, their muscles taut, and their eyes gleaming with a fierceness. The pangolin orcs, on the other hand, curled up, their scales erect, in a fierce defense.
Just as they were about to fight, an elderly elephant beastman came over and gently swept his trunk across them, separating them. "Kids, graduation parties are about making beautiful memories, not fighting. Don't ruin the atmosphere."
After hearing this, the leopard orcs and the pangolin orcs lowered their heads in embarrassment.
The leopard orc scratched his head and said, "Uncle Xiang, we just want to have one last competition. We don't really want to hurt each other."
The Pangolin Orc also echoed: "Yes, we just think it is very ceremonial."
Xia Yueke was originally chatting with Yuanyuan and Jingru, and was attracted by the noise here.
She squeezed through the crowd and came to the front. Looking at the scene before her, she couldn't help but smile and said, "You are really creative. But Uncle Xiang is right. The party should still be harmonious."
When the leopard orc saw Xia Yueke, he said mischievously, "Xia Yueke, why don't you show us your skills and let us see if you have improved."
Xia Yueke waved her hands quickly, "I don't have as good skills as you guys, I'd better stay by the side and cheer you on."
She pulled Xia Yueke's arm and said, "Keke, let's ignore them. There are some freshly baked fruits over there. They smell so good. Let's go and eat some."
Xia Yueke nodded, took another look at the orcs, and left with Jingru.
Meanwhile, at the suggestion of the elephant orcs, the leopard orcs and the pangolin orcs changed the event to a strength show competition. The surrounding orcs cheered and the atmosphere of the party became even more lively.
When Xia Yueke was eating with Yuanyuan and the others, Qi'an came unexpectedly.
He walked out of his stone house, his face still cold, but the moment he saw Xia Yueke, a smile flashed in his eyes.
He walked straight towards Xia Yueke, "Yuek, this is for you!"
Xia Yueke was stunned. She looked at his hand, which was filled with a leather bag of animal cores, gleaming with crystal light. "Are you giving them all to me?"
Qi'an nodded.
"I didn't have my things with me back then, so I couldn't give them to you. I went back to the stone house to get them. These beast cores are a reflection of my past strength and growth, but you are far more important than them now. I give them to you as a token of my joining your family, and as a testament to my deep affection for you."
Xia Yue understood that this beast core was similar to the dowry he gave her.
The beast core has many uses. It can be exchanged for supplies and can also improve strength. Xia Yue had no reason not to have it, so she took it without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, Luo Cihe had already been keeping an eye on this place and came over immediately, but he was holding medicinal herbs and a torn book in his hands.
Luo Cihe stood between the two of them, suddenly being as shameless as ever, "Keke, come here, this is for you. This book contains all the medicinal properties of the herbs I've found over the years, as well as the things I made in the Great Wushan Cave. You can play with it as you like!"
Xia Yue didn't expect Luo Cihe to do the same thing, and be so generous.
Didn’t she remember that Luo Cihe used to treasure those things very much?
Luo Cihe seemed to see the meaning in Xia Yueke's eyes and laughed, "Keke, how can those things be as important as you!?"
After he said that, he rubbed Xia Yueke's head.
Finally, Qi An behind him couldn't wait any longer, pushed away Luo Cihe who was blocking his way, and squeezed in front of Xia Yueke.
The voice was hesitant, "Keke, then...I will go home with you today?"
After Xia Yueke put away the things, she thought for a moment and said a little embarrassedly:
"Hey, Qi'an, I'd like to excuse you for a moment. The main reason is that I haven't told Qian Jingyao yet. You two have met several times, so I have to go and give Qian Jingyao a heads-up... So why don't you stay at home for the next two days?"
Xia Yue felt like a complete jerk. She had even forgotten to tell Qian Jingyao about it. If she had brought a living person back without telling anyone, Qian Jingyao would be so sad!
And Qi An can only stay outside in disgrace...
Qi'an's happy expression disappeared immediately after hearing this. "Okay, Yue Ke, I'll listen to you. I'll go home whenever you tell me to."
After Qi An finished speaking, he sat down next to Xia Yueke naturally.
Luo Cihe was originally a little gloating when he heard Qi'an was rejected, but after thinking about it, he realized that Qi'an couldn't go back, let alone him?
Then, his expression turned sour.
Qi'an had already started peeling the fruit for Xia Yueke, and then handed it to Xia Yueke's mouth with stiff movements.
The person who was most uncomfortable with Qi'an's series of actions was Xia Yueke. Qi'an used to be so cold and noble in front of her!
He was peeling the fruit and feeding it to her. Xia Yue was stunned for a long time before she hesitantly ate the fruit from his hand.
Xia Yue would feel more comfortable if Qian Jingyao did this.
