Chapter 287: Harvesting the Loyal and Kind Maverick

What on earth is this cattle tribe thinking? They have such talented people, but they're so obsessed with whether they're half-orcs or not! Humph, they'll regret it when they get injured and need medical treatment!

Xia Yueke cleared her throat and began to ask about Aqi's past with the Ox Tribe:

"You also had this healing ability when you were in the tribe. The people in the tribe must have respected you, right? They would always come to you for treatment when they were injured, right? Would they even exchange things with you?"

A hint of sadness flashed across Ah Qi's eyes, and he said softly:

"My tribesmen all know my abilities, so when they're hurt they come to me, but they never treat me kindly, always taking it for granted. Luckily, I haven't used up much of my abilities, and even though I haven't upgraded yet, I can still manage."

Xia Yueke cursed the ignorance of the cattle tribe in his heart, then grabbed Aqi's hand and said excitedly:

"Just stay here and relax. I won't bully you! How can a formidable orc like you endure such injustice? You deserve the best treatment! Just follow me and I promise to keep you well fed and well fed!"

Xia Yueke's mind raced, and she immediately began to paint a beautiful blueprint for Aqi's future. Although she was just living under someone else's roof now, the most urgent thing was to keep Aqi firmly. When she found an opportunity to leave in the future, she was determined to take Aqi with her. After all, such a talent, she would never let him slip away.

Xia Yueke became more and more convinced that Aqi's healing ability was rare in the world.

At just the first level, broken limbs can be perfectly reconnected. If the ability is advanced to the second, fourth, or even sixth level, wouldn't it be possible to cure injuries to important organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, and lungs?

Looking back, Xia Yueke was filled with fear at the thought that he might suffer from some serious organ disease and die in pain because no one could cure it.

After all, even animals cannot avoid being attacked by various diseases, and some hidden dangers must be prevented in advance.

Take the healing power Ah Qi demonstrated earlier, for example; it's truly a powerful tool for maintaining health. Having Ah Qi help check my health regularly from now on would undoubtedly be a brilliant idea.

In short, Xia Yueke has made up her mind. She wants Ah Qi, this talent! And she absolutely cannot let Langce keep him.

She secretly planned that once the baby was born and could run and jump, she would start planning to leave.

Maybe by then, Luo Cihe and the others will come, and we will all leave this place together and start a new life.

Xia Yueke thought about those plans and sketched out various possibilities for the future in her mind. She couldn't help but laugh "hehehe", and her laughter was full of unconcealable pride and anticipation.

When Aqi saw her like this, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. He raised his hand and scratched his head, with a look of confusion on his face. He had no idea what Xia Yue was laughing at.

At that moment, several figures came towards them. They were the three female orcs from before. Ivy, holding a large pile of animal skins in her arms, walked briskly to Xia Yueke.

"Female Xia, this is the animal hide I made for you. Do you want to try it on and see if it fits you?"

Ivy said, her voice tinged with anticipation.

Ziyin on the side was also full of anticipation, looking at Xia Yueke with sparkling eyes, as if waiting for her reaction to the gift.

The moment Xia Yueke saw them, her face darkened slightly. The previous unpleasant experience made it difficult for her to let go immediately.

But thinking about how hard they worked to make the animal skins for him, and how he didn't want to let them down, he suppressed his emotions and didn't say anything harsh.

"Is this... an orc? Why is she here?"

When the other female orc saw Aqi, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes and her words were full of surprise.

When Ah Qi heard this, he felt like he was pricked by a needle. He subconsciously lowered his head in inferiority, wishing he could hide himself.

Xia Yue saw this and immediately spoke up to defend him:

"Nothing, she's a witch doctor I specially invited, she's very capable!"

When the three female orcs heard this, the surprise in their eyes was instantly replaced by curiosity, and their original disgust turned into surprise and inquiry, and they looked at Aqi again.

When Aqi heard Xia Yueke's words, a warm feeling surged in his heart. He immediately raised his head, which had been lowered, and straightened his back.

Her eyes were fixed on Xia Yueke, not wanting to look away for a moment. She felt her heart beating violently in her chest. The gazes of other people around her seemed to have disappeared, and her heart and eyes were filled with only the warmth brought by Xia Yueke.

She thought to herself that if she were a male animal, she would have fallen in love with this kind and brave female in front of her without hesitation.

How could she be so good? So good that her eyes became moist again. This was the first time in her life that she felt someone so firmly defended and respected her. It was like a ray of light shining directly into her dark world.

The three female orcs looked at Aqi's almost worshipful look towards Xia Yueke with a gleam in his eyes, and they felt inexplicably uncomfortable in their hearts, always feeling that it was weird.

Ivy coughed lightly, breaking the brief silence:

"Hey, Xia Xi, you should try it out right away. If there's anything inappropriate, we can help you modify it."

Xia Yueke nodded and was about to step forward to take the animal skin, but Aqi was faster than her and stepped forward first.

Aqi took the animal skin steadily with both hands, but did not hand it to Xia Yueke immediately. Instead, he held it in his own hands and looked it over carefully from top to bottom. He even put the animal skin to his nose and smelled it. After a thorough inspection, he handed it back to Xia Yueke.

Ziyin looked at Aqi's strange behavior with confusion in her eyes, but in the end she said nothing, just thinking that she was checking the animal skin for any flaws.

Xia Yueke put on the animal skin and tried it on, finding that the size was just right and the style was a perfect fit. Seeing this, Ivy smiled with satisfaction and left with her companions.

She knew in her heart that she had done something wrong before, and now she only hoped to make up for it through these actions, hoping that Xia Yue could live a stable and happy life.

After the three figures disappeared, Xia Yueke turned to look at Aqi beside him and asked curiously:

"What were you doing? You were acting so strangely."

Aqi smiled shyly and explained a little embarrassedly:

"I'm worried... they might hurt you. There might be something dangerous hidden in the hide, so I have to check it carefully!"

Xia Yueke was slightly taken aback when she heard this answer. In fact, she could truly feel the sincerity of Ai Wei and the other three in wanting to make amends to her, and she was also sure that they had no ill intentions.

But Aqi had only known her for a day, and he already cared so much about her safety. This thought really touched her deeply.

Xia Yueke felt warm in her heart and was touched for a long time. Then, when she looked at those well-fitting and exquisite animal skins, her mood became even happier.

After all, her belly was only slightly bulging before, so she could barely wear those old animal skins. But her belly had obviously grown a lot in the past few days, and the old animal skins always felt tight and crowded, making her uncomfortable all over. Now, putting on this new animal skin has solved a big problem.
