Qin Qiu's sudden and direct advances towards Ye Nianzhen made Ye Nianzhen blush.
Although Qin Qiu's style has always been like this, like a big dog accompanying her, he used to be quite reserved. Apart from his burning gaze always being fixed on her, he didn't always express himself verbally.
Before Ye Nianzhen could say anything, Qin Qiu lowered his head and sniffed her shoulder again.
Ye Nianzhen couldn't help but back away, saying, "What are you doing..." It made her feel quite embarrassed.
"I remember your scent. If you are in danger, I will come to you."
Qin Qiu simply looked at her with an innocent expression, her eyes were pure, and her golden pupils had a captivating power.
"...Thank you, I'll be careful."
Ye Nianzhen nodded.
Qin Qiu didn't know her either, but her attitude was much better than Ming Yuan's.
Mingyuan was cautious, intelligent and calculating. His outwardly warm and gentle demeanor was just a facade, and Ye Nianzhen always knew this.
On the contrary, Qin Qiu, although she distanced herself from others because of her abilities, was actually pure and kind-hearted.
Regardless of which one of them was, they were all Ye Nianzhen's most trusted teammates and were very precious people.
Seeing that they were weaving a blanket, Qin Qiu sat down and helped them.
He was originally very good at these things, and Ye Nianzhen still misses the mattress he once casually made.
There happens to be some animal fur here, collected by the beastmen children during their molting season.
There are also some animal hides that are brought back from hunting and tanned and cut by specialists to be used to make clothes, shoes, and bags. If you collect a lot, you can also use them to make mats.
There are now enough animal hides and fur.
Qin Qiu made a mattress of a suitable size. Instead of animal hair, it was filled with cotton that he had collected himself. This was the kind of mattress that the beastmen usually used to make their nests.
He gave the mattress to Yeh Nien-jen: "This is for you, a gift."
Ye Nianzhen was flattered: "No, no, no, this is just a small part of your fur. I have no share. I am just a guest."
Qin Qiu insisted: "I'll give it to you, my share."
"This..." Ye Nianzhen was a little embarrassed.
But the children around them agreed: "Take it, sister. You've done so many things for us these past few days, you should get some reward."
"Okay, thank you."
Ye Nianzhen then accepted the mattress.
As soon as she got it, Qin Qiu snatched it back: "I'll help you carry it inside, it's heavy."
Ye Nianzhen was truly moved: "Actually, I can carry it."
"I'm willing to help you get it; I like you."
It seems that the words he never said before have formed a kind of obsession in his subconscious. When he met Ye Nianzhen again this time, even though he had no memory of the past, he still couldn't help but say "I like you" over and over again.
The two returned to the house together.
Unexpectedly, Mingyuan was also there. Seeing the two of them walking together in a good atmosphere, standing very close together, and Qin Qiu even making the bed for Ye Nianzhen himself, his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
These days, he has seen that Ye Nianzhen has behaved very well, and he has also made a preliminary judgment on her character.
In addition, she insisted on going on several hunting trips, using her supernatural abilities to help a lot, and her strength was recognized by everyone.
Mingyuan was thinking about whether to bring her along for the mission a few days later, and planned to test the waters one last time.
I never expected to see this.
He had always disliked Qin Qiu, the dog-nose, for some reason. They had no grudges or conflicts, but he just always disliked Qin Qiu.
Seeing that Ye Nianzhen and Qin Qiu had a good relationship, his nameless anger flared up again.
Some people laugh when they're angry, and Mingyuan is one of them.
He smiled and said to the two of them, "It seems I don't need to introduce you; you've already met the strongest person in our team."
Ye Nianzhen felt that he was a bit sarcastic, but she also felt that he wasn't.
After all, Qin Qiu's strength is undeniable, so it's not surprising that he's the strongest in the team.
This time, the beast form he was in was a silver wolf with a pair of pointed wolf ears on its head, and its strength was just as great as the last time.
"Yes, we know each other and we get along well."
Ye Nianzhen nodded.
We have a good relationship!
Mingyuan's face darkened further: "You and I will be partners for the mission in a couple of days."
"real?"
Ye Nianzhen exclaimed in surprise, "What's going on today? One after another, they're all fawning over me!"
Qin Qiu was somewhat dissatisfied with this: "No, she'll be with me; it'll be safer for her."
Mingyuan was practically grinding his teeth: "You mean, it's not safe for me to be with you?"
Seeing the atmosphere become tense again, Ye Nianzhen quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Everything is safe! It's mainly because the captain is good at planning and has a good grasp of the overall situation."
"Qin Qiu, you're the vanguard. If I follow you, I'll only cause you trouble."
Upon hearing this, Mingyuan's expression softened somewhat.
Yeah, even if it's troublesome, we have to do it for him. We can't get closer to a dog we just met.
"All right."
Qin Qiu couldn't argue with them, so she silently made the bed.
Seeing this, Ye Nianzhen went up to help lay the sheets, otherwise she would feel embarrassed.
Mingyuan always felt that with the two of them together, no third person could fit in, but he insisted on chiming in: "I'll help too."
In this way, three people were squeezed into a small bed!
The scene is extremely strange!
*
A few days later, the blizzard arrived as expected.
Even the beastmen, who are used to being outdoors, don't go out in this kind of weather, but they have to go on a mission today.
The caravan would rest in a cluster of buildings not far away, and they planned to take advantage of the snowstorm to delay them and make it difficult for them to see the outside situation, thus launching a surprise attack.
The group secretly went outside.
The building was lit up, and shadowy figures moved about. Qin Qiu was the first to rush in, and a cacophony of shouts and cries of battle erupted inside.
Mingyuan and a group of people followed them inside, and Ye Nianzhen went in as well.
The mission went smoothly. The caravan members were captured but not brought back to the tribe; they were simply imprisoned in this building.
During the interrogation, some of the prisoners they had hidden were rescued, including both humans and beastmen.
Then they took away most of their resources, leaving them to fend for themselves in the snow.
Why not kill them?
Ye Nianzhen asked Mingyuan.
Mingyuan's eyes were filled with coldness: "They owe this land what they owe them with their blood and flesh. The forest will take back what they should have left behind."
They won't have enough food and will definitely leave the building. Then the animals in the forest will retaliate, and the mutated plants will hunt them.
They were once ruthless plunderers; now it's their turn to pay the price.
Everyone was happy to return to the tribe.
A fire was lit in the open space, and everyone sang and danced, and there was also barbecue. The firelight flickered, illuminating the simple and honest faces of the beastmen.
Rabbit White leaned closer again: "Aren't you going to consider me?"
Yeh Nian-zhen was actually quite helpless: "You still haven't given up?"
