Chapter 8 Is this the square?
He immediately and gently moved her little head away, his movements gentle and quick. The moment he moved away, he felt a little lost.
It was not until then that he realized that after Xia Yueke let go of his hand, the soft and warm touch on his hand seemed to still remain, as if her breath was still lingering on his fingertips.
There was still the cub's saliva on it, but he was inexplicably reluctant to wipe it off. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his eyes were full of doting.
He quickly adjusted his posture to prevent the "accident" from happening again.
Perhaps it is true as his father said, he should find a partner.
Qian Jingyao stared at the little head in his arms with burning eyes, with a gleam in his eyes.
However, he still needs to ask the father beast what to pay attention to when looking for a cub mate...
When Xia Yueke slowly woke up, she blinked her still dazed eyes and found that the surrounding environment seemed a little unfamiliar. Then she realized that she seemed to have arrived.
She was completely unaware of the "ridiculous things" that happened after she fell asleep. She just felt that she slept very soundly this time and felt very happy in her heart.
After all, she usually slept together with other children. During those times, she suffered a lot.
Sometimes she would be kicked awake by other naughty kids just when she was half asleep.
She felt very aggrieved at the time and complained secretly:
"Huh, these guys, can't they just let me have a good sleep?"
Sometimes, she would be pushed to the bottom, and it felt like she was being pressed down by a small mountain. She could hardly breathe, and she thought helplessly:
"Why am I so unlucky?"
Another experience left a particularly deep impression on her. When she woke up, what caught her eye was an enlarged little foot. The smell was simply pungent and unpleasant.
She was almost fainted from the smoke, and cried out in her heart:
"Oh my god, what's that smell? It's horrible."
There was no way, they had never washed their feet since they were born. The smell lingered in her nose like a demon, and would not dissipate for a long time.
But soon, she was attracted by the novel atmosphere around her, and a little flame of curiosity ignited in her heart.
She tilted her head slightly, her eyes quickly scanning the surroundings, wondering in her heart:
"Is there anything fun here?
The tension gradually receded like the tide, and excitement and anticipation surged into my heart like rising waves.
Xia Yueke's black eyes rolled around like two lively black gems, sparkling with curiosity. Her heart could no longer be restrained, and she couldn't wait to explore this new place immediately.
This place looks like a square, but it has its own unique features. It seems that there are orcs all around.
In addition to the familiar fox orcs, there are other types of orcs, and it seems that they are the companions of those females.
Qiu Xing is a majestic lion orc. Not far from them, there is a burly bear orc who is carefully peeling fruit for the female next to him.
The area was also surrounded by orcs, and it seemed that all the orcs in the tribe had come.
Xia Yueke just took a quick glance and then looked away, because the scene in the center of the square attracted all her attention like a powerful magnet.
Surrounded by ancient and huge stone pillars, they are like silent giants, carrying the vicissitudes of time.
Each stone pillar was densely engraved with bizarre runes. Those runes seemed to have life, emitting a faint glow in the dim light.
Green vines are climbing up the stone pillars, and unknown flowers are blooming on the vines. The petals are a mysterious and deep purple, as if they were cast under a spell.
Wisps of smoke emanated from the stamens, lingering in the air like a veil, like a dream.
In the center of the venue is a circular stone platform, which is carefully polished from a whole piece of obsidian. The surface is as smooth as a mirror, clearly reflecting everything around it.
Xia Yueke squinted her eyes and looked carefully, and found a small wooden table on the stone platform, and a dozen cubs were crawling around on it.
When the patriarch saw Wuya and her companion approaching, he waved enthusiastically and said loudly:
"Wuya, put the cub on the stone platform."
Wu Ya lightly got down from Qiu Xing's lion's back and gently put the cub in her hand back. Chu Qingchen did the same.
When the clan leader Qian Huaiyuan saw that his son was also holding a little baby, he was slightly stunned, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He thought to himself: My son has always been a cold-natured person and hates to meddle in other people's affairs. What happened to him today?
How come he's suddenly so helpful?
Qian Jingyao held Xia Yueke in his arms and walked lightly past the clan leader Qian Huaiyuan.
At this moment, Qian Jingyao's eyes fell gently on Xia Yueke, and he didn't notice the look his father gave him at all.
Clan leader Qian Huaiyuan was talking to several elders when he caught a glimpse of his son out of the corner of his eye.
His nose, as sharp as a falcon's, moved slightly inadvertently and instantly caught a hint of a special scent.
It was the unique smell of a female, and the source was the little cub in Qian Jingyao's arms.
A hint of surprise first flashed across Qian Huaiyuan's eyes, and then joy instantly overwhelmed him like a surging tide.
He opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but was afraid of disturbing this rare scene, so he just watched quietly.
He recalled the days when he had persuaded Qian Jingyao to find a partner. It was truly a long and difficult "war".
Every time this matter was mentioned, Qian Jingyao always looked indifferent, as if the concept of partner had no place in his heart.
Qian Huaiyuan didn't know how much he had spent trying to persuade his son, but his son was like an unyielding iceberg that could not be melted no matter how hard he tried.
And now, he saw with his own eyes Qian Jingyao holding a female, even if it was just a cub.
His gaze shifted from Qian Jingyao's face to Xia Yueke, his eyes full of relief.
After all, she is a member of the tribe, and the tradition of the tribe is to give priority to finding a partner within the tribe. In this way, won’t Jingyao have more possibilities in terms of finding a partner in the future?
The more Qian Huaiyuan thought about it, the more he felt that this was a great opportunity, and the smile on his lips became more and more obvious.
He had originally planned to let Qian Jingyao choose a mate from the two newly born female cubs, but he didn't expect that his son's unintentional action would actually suit his taste.
Although he also knew that there might be many difficulties in allowing the female cub to transform successfully, this was not a big problem compared to his son's indifference to the matter of his partner.
Qian Jingyao carefully placed Xia Yueke on the stone platform. His movements were gentle, and there was a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
