Chapter 381 Explanation
"hiss…"
It was Liuli's cry of surprise. Liuli was already as tall as Xia Yueke's waist. Hearing these words, she was terrified. "So, they also died? No wonder I haven't seen them come back. I thought they stayed in the Fox Tribe!"
Xia Yueke didn't expect things to be so complicated. At first, she thought that Duzai didn't come back to give water to the orcs in the Beast City because there were many orcs in the Beast City and they were probably short of water. In addition, the father and mother beasts were also there, so he didn't take care of this side.
So that's how it is. It's such a pity that the orcs in the Beast City died in vain in the forest.
Duzi also sighed slightly, "Keke, we've been staying in Beast City for the past few months, until something happened. All the water in the city has been used up. We were hoping for some relief from the rain, but it never came. So the city elders summoned all the water beastmen, a full thirty or forty of them, to deliver water non-stop every day."
"That solved the immediate problem. Afterwards, the elders began delivering water to various tribes. However, because they had to manage the overall situation, they always sent orcs to deliver water. Now, I wonder what has happened to the other tribes? If those orcs were also robbed, then those tribes might not have survived. I don't know how many orcs have died as a result."
Seeing the furrowed brows of Duzai Rongqiu and the others and the heavy atmosphere, Xia Yueke felt that they had matured a lot and were no longer as impulsive as before.
Xia Yueke was very relieved, then waved his hand, "No, the situation is not too bad. Didn't we go to the seaside this time? There are also many land orcs there. I'm afraid many tribes also thought of going to the seaside for help, and many tribes succeeded, so there shouldn't be many orcs killed this time. Don't worry too much."
The ball of fluff finally smiled and said, "I'm relieved to see that you are safe and sound."
He looked at Xi Yuan, who looked like a young wife, and raised his eyebrows. "Is this your new partner?"
Xia Yueke didn't know how to answer. After all, she and Xiyuan hadn't talked it out yet, and they hadn't made any promises.
Xi Yuan was frank and generous. "Yes, hello. I've heard An An and Dun Dun talk about you often. When I met you today, I realized that you are all so wise and powerful."
Xia Yueke hadn't expected Xiyuan to be such a flatterer, so she immediately said, "By the way, don't just talk about me. Um, didn't Liuli find another partner?"
Liuli, who was standing next to him, blushed at the question, but still answered quietly, "No, I really like Duzi and the others. I don't like any of the other orcs!"
When Duzi and the other two heard this, they all smiled sweetly.
Then the three of them looked at each other sweetly, and Xia Yueke felt like she had eaten a mouthful of candy.
Alas, if it weren't for something important, Xia Yue wouldn't have the heart to interrupt them.
Before Xia Yueke could even open her mouth, Lang Ce interrupted them impatiently, "Alright, stop showing off your affection, I have something important to tell you! You won't have time to flirt with each other after hearing this!"
Duzi and Rongqiu exchanged a puzzled look. "What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious? Oh, and where's Long Xiaoyu?"
Duzi and the others just looked around and didn’t see Long Xiaoyu. Could it be about this person?
Juanjuan suddenly spoke from the corner and asked tentatively, "Could it be that Long Xiaoyu... is dead?"
The ball of fluff scratched his head, "It shouldn't be like this, Long Xiaoyu is so strong."
Xia Yueke was a little amused and said, "He's not dead, don't talk nonsense, but we can't be sure."
Duzi looked up, his eyes burning: "So?"
Xia Yueke began to explain why she didn't see Long Xiaoyu, why he disappeared, and what happened in the other world.
Duzi was confused after hearing this. "Keke, you're kidding, right? Is this true?"
Juanjuan propped up her chin, glanced at everyone, and said doubtfully, "You all didn't believe it, did you? How is that possible? We haven't heard any news about this matter yet."
Xia Yueke was helpless, "I didn't lie to you, otherwise how could you say that Long Xiaoyu would not be with us?"
Velvet nodded. That was true. No male animal would leave his partner and live alone unless his partner died.
But he had been here for so long and he really hadn't smelled any trace of Long Xiaoyu. He could only say that the person was definitely not here.
"Is it true? Then what are you going to do?"
As usual, Fluffball quickly calmed down and began to ask for solutions.
"We can only practice. We can't do anything else. We can only wait for Long Xiaoyu to appear."
After hearing this, the ball of fluff sighed silently, "I didn't expect such a thing to happen. In that case, we'll just stay here for a few days. I was planning to return to Beast City once I saw you were all safe and sound!"
Xia Yueke also felt that it would be better for them to stay here and wait until Long Xiaoyu came back with the answer.
"By the way, are the father and mother beasts all okay?"
Xia Yueke thought of Wu Yachu Qingchen and the others. It had been so long and she wondered how they were doing.
Duzi said without hesitation, "Don't worry, they're fine. We're here in Beast City, so they won't get thirsty. Plus, one of the three lion brothers has water abilities. After we gave them water twice, they no longer needed it and told us to keep it for ourselves. I'll also give you some, because the mother beast is most worried about you!"
Xia Yueke felt warm in her heart. She didn't expect that Wu Ya still cared about her so much at this time.
It was natural for Duzai Rongqiu and the others to move in with Liuli. It just so happened that they lived in the same cave where Qian Jingyao used to live. They were few in number, so they could still stay there. But in the current situation, the trees were dry and they couldn't even build a wooden house.
So they just stayed there.
The two little guys, An An and Dun Dun, were so happy to see Liuli come back, and now they go to play with her every day.
Langce, Qi'an, Luo Cihe and others were busy with their cultivation, while Xia Yueke became the most leisurely one and took care of their meals.
Even though it's just stewing fish or making soup.
However, Xiyuan was practicing intermittently and always stayed in front of Xia Yueke.
"Sister Xia, we... ahem, we agreed before that if I survive, you'll be with me. Sister Xia, are we partners now?"
Xiyuan stared at Xia Yueke with a pair of big, bright eyes, unblinking, pink bubbles about to appear in them.
Although Xia Yueke felt a little awkward at first, it was mainly because Xiyuan looked too young, and she always felt that if she did something it would be like committing a crime.
Later on, it turned out that he looked small. After all, he had already cultivated to the twelfth level and was almost the same size as Qing Yan. Xia Yuke felt a lot more relieved.
