Chapter 322: Carve Her into My Heart
Biller continued in a cold tone: "Feixu is right. Fortunately, it was Tabor who went with Feixu last night. If it were me, I would have killed you as well. Then you, the female, would not be able to stand here today. It's a pity to think about it..."
Ye Luoxing had already heard the sarcasm in the words. Biller's hostility was written all over his face, and the attitude of the Feixu leader was not much better. He was indeed full of hostility towards her from beginning to end.
Tabor glanced at them indifferently, wondering if he was asking them to be more polite.
The cave was quiet. Heide and the other two beastmen who were unfamiliar to Ye Luoxing had sullen eyes. They looked at her and sized her up. They couldn't say they were disgusted, but they didn't have much affection or kindness either. They were even expressionless, with only a hint of indifference...
The male orc standing at the head said, "Female, orcs in the Beast City cannot hide their identities, otherwise..."
The rest of his words came to an abrupt end, and Ye Luoxing's afterglow slid past the orcs tied to the stone pillars. She squinted her eyes, otherwise they would be just like these "unidentified" orcs, right?
She was in the middle of the road, among the beasts, with a strong oppressive force surrounding her from all directions.
"He's not wrong." Suddenly, Kochas, who had been observing silently, raised one corner of his lips and uttered such a dangerous sentence. His attitude was always changing, making people feel that he was also a little crazy like Krollin.
Kochas's friendly smile returned, but Ye Luoxing always felt that there was something cold in that smile.
He said slowly: "But I sincerely hope that you are an exception. I have heard about you from Tabor a long time ago. If I had known it was you, I should have met you earlier. Tabor has praised your excellence many times. Although the rumors in the city are not good, maybe you took a large amount of purified food for no reason and affected yourself, but..."
Kochas paused here before continuing, "It won't affect our friendship."
His words always give people a weird feeling, as if the first sentence conflicts with the last sentence. This orc is also very cunning. At least Ye Luoxing cannot completely understand his thoughts, but Yue Shang can feel uncomfortable.
When Kochas said this, only Tabor was silently worried, because he knew that she was not affected at all.
"Female, I invite you to be my guest today. I hope you can forget the previous grudge and we can become friends from now on, because there are only two types of relationships in the Polar Night City. If it is the latter..." Feixu's increasingly cold and threatening words were not finished before he was interrupted by the action of the female beast in front of him.
Ye Luoxing lowered his head and slowly took off the hat on his head, then raised his head and looked at the orcs in front of him.
With her simple action, she officially met with the nobles of the Beast City. They also saw her appearance clearly, and were caught off guard before the conversation was over. The moment she raised her eyes, the expressions of the male beasts around her changed rapidly at the speed of the wind, causing ripples in their hearts.
Ye Luoxing said: "What if it's the latter?"
She asked back in a cold voice, were they hosting a banquet for her or a Hongmen Banquet?
"..." The surroundings were quiet except for the beating of the heart. The pupils of different colors and expressions gradually enlarged. The coldness in the eyes slowly dissipated, and was replaced by a stunning starry sky.
The mountains in the north and the sea of flowers in the south are not as eye-catching as her. She stands there, with the sunlight and firelight shining all over her, as if she has been coated with a layer of soft light, shining brightly. She is like the sun and the moon, flawless and extremely beautiful!
The gloom and murderous aura around Kochas faded away silently. He slowly sat up straight from his casual sitting position. Feixu and the others did the same. They used the uncontrollable stiffness of their bodies to write out the shock in their hearts. The darkness and bloodiness inside the cave were spread by the fiery flame. Her brilliance could not be covered up, but would only bloom more brilliantly!
The curve of Kochas's mouth gradually widened, and then became exaggerated. He stared at her, unable to look away from his burning gaze. Finally, his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and that magnetic voice sounded with a slight hoarseness: "This is you, Ye Luoxing."
He no longer called her female, but pronounced her name clearly, remembering it firmly and engraving it in his heart.
The white fur collar on her shoulders was fluttered by the wind, making her look even more beautiful and charming. The contours of her facial features were like those of a beast, and her skin was as pure as the snow in early winter. The white fur was floating softly, as if it could be blown away by the wind at any time, but her temperament was completely the opposite, strong and tough, standing firmly, yet it seemed as if she could still leave at any time!
After a long while, Kochas glanced at Tabor beside her, then turned his gaze back to her, looking at her with his deep eyes, and said, "Tapo is right. This time, I was wrong."
All of Tabor's praise for her was genuine, without the slightest exaggeration, and words alone could not describe her beauty.
In the silence of the cave, a clear sound suddenly came from the right end, causing Ye Luoxing to turn around and look.
The amazement in Kochas's eyes had not yet faded, but a cold look flashed across his eyes. He noticed her attention and glanced over there without even turning his head. He only opened his lips and gave an order: "Feixu, go over and take a look."
Leader Fei Xu was called out and came back to his senses after being in a trance. From the beginning till now, his eyes seemed to be fixed on Ye Luoxing. However, no matter how complicated his emotions were, he could hardly look away, and the same went for the several male beasts beside him.
He turned to Kochas stiffly, and after a few seconds of silence, he nodded and said, "Yeah."
Feixu stood up and walked towards the right end of the open space. There seemed to be a hidden stone door on the stone wall, with only a small opening left.
Ye Luoxing frowned, and Kochas was still staring at her. His voice rang out: "Don't worry about it. There are imprisoned enemy beasts in there. They may have woken up, so they made some noises."
Ye Luoxing withdrew his gaze, and the male beasts present gradually came back to their senses, but the amazement in their eyes could not be suppressed.
They wanted to ask Ye Luoxing to sit down and talk. At this time, Kochas, who was at the top, glanced at the bloodstains in front of her and said in a deep voice: "Clean the bloodstains on the ground and bring a chair to Ye Luoxing."
Head and Biller took action immediately, but this time they were obviously nervous and flustered.
They quickly brought water over and poured it down a few stone troughs. The center of the road was cleaned up and the blood flowed out along the narrow ditches on both sides of the road. Another strange male beast stood up and picked up a chair for Ye Luoxing and placed it in the center of the road.
Ye Luoxing thought he looked familiar, and he was probably a guard at a certain level of the Overlord Tournament, or even a guard at the top level. He had been a little cold to Ye Luoxing before, but after he put down the stone chair, he said to her unnaturally, "Female Ye Luoxing, please sit down!"
Several male beasts walked back to the stone chair and sat down. Tabor and Sowa also said to Ye Luoxing: "Female Luoxing, sit down and talk!"
Ye Luoxing walked towards the stone chair, and Tabor and Sova also walked towards the row of chairs on the left and sat down.
After all the orcs were seated, Kochas saw Feixu walking back. He remembered her question and said, "Feixu and the others are females from Yeluo Star. They often need to deal with various matters in Polar Night City. In order to establish their prestige, they have developed a cold and harsh personality over a long period of time. If they have offended you in any way, I apologize to you on their behalf."
"You have always appeared as a male beast before, and maybe they haven't adapted to it yet." Kochas explained to her again with a sincere expression and a faint smile in his eyes.
Feixu had already walked back. After hearing what Kochas said, he looked at the dazzling female in the center of the field again.
There seemed to be a kind of attraction about her that made it difficult for the orc to look away. Feixu tried hard to retract his gaze, but then he gently leaned towards her as an apology, and then sat back in his original seat.
It seemed that the hostility had dissipated, and apologies had been made. The atmosphere in the cave gradually eased and returned to silence.
Ye Luoxing took the initiative to speak: "I have been in Polar Night City for some time. It was Sova and Tabor who took me into the city, and I was very grateful for your warm hospitality. So when Tabor asked the elders of Polar Night City to see me, I had no reason to refuse. I had some private matters to attend to, but I didn't harm anyone. I also told you all about the group of beasts last night."
"There are some misunderstandings between us, but fortunately, no big deal happened on both sides, so let's just forget about it. Thank you for your invitation today. If you are just meeting a guest, I'll listen carefully to what you want to say." Ye Luoxing spoke appropriately. Naturally, she didn't want to have any conflicts with the people in power in Beast City. Although her identity was exposed and friction occurred, it would be best if she could live in peace.
When Ye Luoxing started speaking, no male beast interrupted her. They listened quietly and found that her voice was also very nice.
Kochas heard her attitude from her words and the smile in his eyes deepened. This female was very smart.
Kochas turned to Tabor and said, "Tapo, you should have taken the females into the inner city earlier, so there wouldn't be so many misunderstandings and accidents."
Tabor who was named: "..."
Sova also froze, and the other male beasts looked at the two orcs with complicated eyes.
Ye Luoxing replied: "I am just staying in Polar Night City temporarily and have no plans to enter the inner city."
She didn't care whether Kochas had any deeper intentions or not, she just needed to make her attitude clear. It would be more difficult to escape if she entered the inner city.
Kochas turned his gaze back and scanned her body which was completely covered by the large cloak. He spoke slowly, "Female Ye Luoxing, I remember hearing from Tabor that you are from the Southland. Have you...healed from your injuries?"
He raised his eyes and looked into hers, obviously asking about the wounds she had received from the flying catkins yesterday.
Obviously it was not appropriate to bring up this matter now, as it would only make the atmosphere awkward. Ye Luoxing guessed his purpose, and when he asked, he opened his lips and answered him, "I consulted a witch doctor last night, and there was nothing serious."
"It seems that your self-healing ability is very strong..." Kochas murmured this sentence immediately afterwards. He turned to Feixu on the other side. Feixu was stunned for a moment. He glanced at Ye Luoxing out of the corner of his eye. He naturally knew the strength of his attack. Although she was of a high level and dodged it, she was not seriously injured. It seemed that she also possessed the powerful self-healing ability of high-level male beasts.
"I'm glad you're okay." Kochas continued, "Are you used to living in the outer city?"
He seemed to be chatting about family matters, and Ye Luoxing replied, "Not bad."
He asked, "What star female are you?"
After a pause, before Ye Luoxing could reply, he continued: "You purified so many prey in the city center, but were hardly affected. I guess your star rank is also very high." Even terribly high, higher than the level.
Silence returned to the cave. Kochas admired her beauty and excellence, seeming to be thinking about something.
Suddenly, he changed the subject: "The Flamingo Tribe has seen you, right? Do they know you are a female? And...what you look like."
"Does it matter?" she asked.
Kochas chuckled. He thought they didn't know yet, at least not what she looked like.
Kochas asked again: "Are you going back to the Southland?"
Ye Luoxing nodded: "Yeah."
Hearing her answer without hesitation, Kochas, who had been chatting about family matters for a while, seemed to slowly get to the point.
He made an invitation: "Female Ye Luoxing, how about staying in Polar Night City? Although I don't know why you appeared in Polar Night City alone, but your tribe beasts didn't come to look for you, so there is no need for you to go back to the South, right? The North is no worse than the South."
"Whether the beasts come to look for me or not has nothing to do with whether I go back or not." She obviously rejected his invitation.
The atmosphere in the cave gradually became depressing. Tabor and Sova became nervous unconsciously and looked at her worriedly.
Feixu and the others were confused, but no orcs interrupted during Kochas's conversation...
Ye Luoxing could feel that the atmosphere around her was no longer relaxed. She saw Kochas slowly leaning back in his chair. She thought about what Kochas might say next and how she would respond, but no matter how hard she thought, she never expected that Kochas would suddenly say something like this...
"Do you know Krollin?" he asked suddenly, raising his sharp golden eyes to lock onto her expression.
Obviously, faced with this sudden turn, Ye Luoxing didn't react at all. The expression on her face was unstable for a moment, and a strange emotion flashed across her eyes. She was now certain that he and Krollin must be related.
Kochas deliberately asked the question unexpectedly. He clearly caught the abnormal emotion on her face, and the smile that widened the arc of his mouth made people feel uneasy.
Ye Luoxing calmed down and answered, "I don't know him."
Kochas supported his chin with one hand, looked at her, and narrated slowly: "He is one of my younger brothers."
Unexpectedly, he directly revealed his relationship with Krollin. Ye Luoxing was shocked but could not show it.
Kochas' voice continued: "I don't know where he went all these years. He suddenly disappeared. I was thinking you might know him~"
"How could I know your brother?" Ye Luoxing did not admit it. She was not sure how close he was to Krollin.
Kochas smiled and said, "That's right."
The rabbit fur cloak on his shoulders was blown, and the smell of blood was still floating in the air. The orc Kochas was a very strange one. He suddenly changed the subject back, and no one knew what he would say next.
He added, "I think Tabor has already told you about the benefits of entering the inner city, so I won't say more. Ye Luoxing female, you should know that the selection of the Beast King will be held soon. I want to know what you think of the pinnacle of power? Do you like the feeling of controlling the survival of the entire city?"
Ye Luoxing's answer was still without hesitation: "I know, but I'm not interested."
Kochas continued, "What if I insist that you be interested?"
