Chapter 342 She and the Two Elders
Ye Luoxing frowned and stopped. They were never going to stop. There were so many orcs outside, but they didn't know how to restrain themselves.
Yueshang sounded the alarm in her mind: "Captain Ye, it looks like we're going to be in trouble."
Lu Lan stepped forward and made room for the door. Then, two shadows came in, one white and one red.
Kochas was like a ghost; Beiyan was like a goblin. Their eyes were on her, and her dissatisfied eyes were also on them.
As soon as Kochas stepped into the stone house, he said, "Our conversation is not over yet. Where do you want to go?"
He and Beiyan slowed down their pace. At this time, Kochas looked even more lazy. Beiyan sat down casually at the nearest stone table. Kochas put his right hand on the stone table, glanced at Beiyan, walked around the stone table for a while, and then sat down on the other side.
"Let's talk." Bei Yan spoke rarely, and his words were concise. At this moment, he was sitting with his back to Ye Luoxing.
Ye Luoxing stared at the two orcs who had already sat down. She walked towards them slowly. Over there, Lu Lan did not sit down, but just stood not far away and watched them. It was unknown whether she was feeling uncomfortable or what. Lu Lan raised her hand to cover her lips and coughed lightly twice.
Ye Luoxing quickly came to the stone table. She put her hands on the table and said directly: "Tell me, what do you want to talk about?"
She was very imposing. She didn't sit down, nor did she look at them. She just looked down at them. The two orcs were still staring at her.
Kochas replied with a smile in his eyes: "Stay, attend the banquet in the inner city, and participate in the selection of the Beast King."
Ye Luoxing laughed sarcastically. He really couldn't say anything else. He was really persistent.
Ye Luoxing turned to Kochas and said to him clearly, "My attitude is very clear. Do you like to hear a few more rejections?"
The two eyes looked at each other, showing firmness and persistence, and it was obvious that no one was willing to take a step back.
Lu Lan and Bei Yan remained silent. Lu Lan glanced at the silent orc over there.
"You won't refuse." Kochas suddenly said this, with a bit of certainty and provocation in his eyes.
Ye Luoxing's face darkened because of his words, and even Yue Shang had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Kochas was still smiling, but he said coldly: "If you refuse, I will kill them."
It was a simple sentence. He didn't even say who it was. He just glanced outside.
Ye Luoxing's hands that were supporting the table suddenly exerted force. She glared at the orc who had torn her face apart: "Kochas!"
Seeing her anger, Kochas laughed out loud: "Although I am dissatisfied with you for being so weird that you have to care about a group of low-level beasts, I did find your weakness. Don't even think about sending them out of the city. As long as I am here, they can't leave the city, Ye Luoxing..."
Kochas paused here and leaned forward: "Seeing your anger now, you finally understand how I felt just now."
Ye Luoxing said in a deep voice: "You are doing no good to anyone!"
Kochas didn't care at all: "Do you think I'm the only one who will stop you now? No, those beasts outside will stop you, and even you can't leave the city."
After he finished speaking, Ye Luoxing looked at the open space outside. Judging from the beasts' attempts to keep him, Kochas was not wrong.
She looked away and cursed in an inaudible tone: "You are so shameless!"
Kochas smiled, his eyes deep: "That's not something you would say!"
"Ye Luoxing, think about this carefully. It is too easy to kill a group of low-level beasts without identity totems. You don't even need any reason." Kochas said coldly.
Ye Luoxing asked in a questioning tone: "Do those beastmen outside know what kind of beast you are?"
Those orcs will protect him, but it’s because they don’t understand him. If they knew his true face, would they still protect him?
"Even if it's you, you can't accuse me at will. Most of the time, only those with power can have the right to speak." Kochas' tone was extremely calm. After saying this, he even glanced at Bei Yan opposite him.
"By the way." Kochas retracted his gaze and added, "I can temporarily tolerate those low-level beasts staying with you, but what happened on the stage just now, it's best not to happen again. There haven't been any new toys in the inner city for a long time."
There was a hint of anger and threat in Kochas' words. Ye Luoxing was amused by his arrogance and no longer looked at him.
The stone house was quiet for a long time. During this time, Lu Lan kept paying attention to her expression. He glanced at Kochas with dissatisfaction, and waited for Bei Yan to speak.
Finally, it was Ye Luoxing who turned to Bei Yan and asked, "Do you think the same as him?"
Because of Xilin and Lu Lan, Ye Luoxing was not so displeased with Bei Yan. He came today, but he hadn't spoken a word. All her communication with the East City Territory was through Lu Lan. She had to know Bei Yan's attitude, which would determine what she would do next.
She looked at Bei Yan, and the other two male beasts in the stone house looked at Bei Yan.
Bei Yan sat up straight, his ruby-like pupils met her unclear eyes, and he uttered a sentence concisely and sincerely: "I also hope you stay."
There was silence all around, and even the stone house was quiet for a few seconds after he finished speaking, but it was undoubtedly disappointing to just say this one sentence without any further elaboration.
Ye Luoxing didn't say anything else and didn't react much, but Lu Lan frowned.
"Hahahahahahahahaha..." Then, Kochas's wanton laughter came. He already knew how he would answer, just like those orcs outside. Did she think that the Flamingo tribe was something good? This was simply too funny.
Kochas had laughed enough. He turned to Ye Luoxing, his attitude softened, and he said sincerely, "Ye Luoxing, you should know that I never intended to hurt you from the beginning to the end. I just want you to stay. If you are willing to join me in the Beast King Selection, I will not embarrass those low-level beasts. No matter what you want to do in Beast City, I can help you accomplish it."
His words did not seem false and had some credibility. Ye Luoxing also knew their purpose.
"I'm afraid that even if I agree to take you as my partner, you won't dare to give your life to me." Ye Luoxing looked at him indifferently.
Kochas smiled but didn't respond. He stood up from the stone chair and slowly walked towards the door. After a few steps, he stopped again, looked back, and left a last sentence: "If you want to negotiate with me, you must become the king of Polar Night City. Only then will you have all the rights."
Kochas left and the stone house fell into silence again. Bei Yan slowly stood up, as if he was about to leave as well.
Just when Lu Lan was worried, Bei Yan added softly: "Don't worry, I will send them out of the city."
Just like the previous one, this sentence was equally concise. During the whole process, Bei Yan only said three sentences, but each sentence clearly showed his attitude. He listened carefully to her conversation with him. After Kochas left, he made a promise to her, just like Lu Lan did yesterday.
Ye Luoxing was stunned, watching Bei Yan leave. Bei Yan didn't seem like a quiet orc, but he had been acting a little strange since he rescued her yesterday.
“……” Yueshang didn’t understand these orcs and just watched the two beasts slowly move away from the stone house.
Lu Lan breathed a sigh of relief, a smile on her face. When she and he were alone in the stone house, he looked at her firmly and said, "Since he said so, he can definitely do it. I'll take you back to the wooden house."
Outside the stone house, next to the stage, Kochas sat on the back of a bird or beast.
He glanced at the flying catkins below from above and said, "Leave her to Tabor, you come with me."
The birds and beasts carried Kochas away, and Feixu followed with an unclear expression. Only when they flew far away did Tabor turn his gaze away from Feixu's back.
Most of the orcs near the competition stage quickly dispersed, leaving only two patrol teams. Most of the orcs were forced to leave, and they also took the news to every corner of the city. She showed up in front of the orcs, and it was safer in the Beast City, but it was also harder to leave...
"Lier, come in!" Ye Luoxing walked towards the second floor without responding to Lu Lan's words or paying attention to the orcs guarding outside the door.
Ji Mu and the others did not try to stop them. Lyle and the others rushed in, exchanged a glance with Lu Lan who was standing there, and then quickly followed them up to the second floor.
Lu Lan's uneasiness resurfaced...
On the second floor of the stone house, Ye Luoxing turned to the group of orcs who had followed her and went straight to the point: "Will you come with me?"
She suddenly blurted out this sentence. Although her voice was not loud, Lyle and the others heard it clearly. They were stunned for two seconds before they asked, "Is it really possible?"
Ye Luoxing nodded: "However, I won't always take you with me. Are you willing to go to the south with me? Once I send you to a safe place, we will go our separate ways."
"Female from Luoxing..." Lyle murmured. They couldn't tell whether they were happy, sad, or lost, but they felt touched anyway.
"I know we've caused you trouble again. We're lucky that you're willing to protect us, but we can't keep bothering you." Lyle and the others could naturally notice that something was wrong in the past two days. They didn't ask too many questions. It was enough for them to know that she was good.
Mu Huai also added: "Female Luo Xing, we will leave the Beast City by ourselves, you don't have to worry about us."
Ye Luoxing replied: "You can't just leave now if you want to."
Ye Luoxing glanced out the window and saw the beasts such as Tabor guarding the street. She continued to look at Mu Huai and the others and said, "You just need to answer me, are you willing to go to the south with me?"
Her serious expression showed that she had already made a decision and was just waiting for their response.
Mu Huai and the others looked at each other, and in the end, without saying anything else, they just nodded firmly: "Of course we are willing."
Ye Luoxing nodded: "Okay, except for the important items, you don't need to pack anything, I have everything here, don't let them see it, don't tell anyone, we will leave Polar Night City tonight."
"Ah?" Lyle, Mu Huai and the others were surprised, then nodded stiffly, "Okay..."
Yue Shang asked her in her mind: "Captain Ye, don't you trust Lu Lan and Bei Yan?"
Ye Luoxing replied in his mind: "I don't trust anyone now. Bei Yan wants me to trust him based on his words. Am I not too credulous in trusting the beast?"
Yue Shang said, "That's true. It won't hurt for us to be more cautious."
Yueshang became worried again and added, "However, the group of Yan beasts are still outside the Beast City. Even if we successfully leave the city, what should we do if we are blocked? With the experience from last time, the group of Yan beasts will definitely pay more attention to the sky. Especially based on the environment around Polar Night City, the airship will generate strong airflow during the flight. Even if it is invisible, it is too easy to be discovered."
"This brother from Jieye City is much more difficult to deal with than his brother Yan Beast." Ye Luoxing analyzed rationally and responded to this sentence.
"I'm not far from the eighth level of the orcs. Even if I'm caught by the Yan Beast Group, I still have a great chance of escaping after I upgrade my level. It's better than falling into the hands of this ninth-level Smiling Eagle. Besides..." Ye Luoxing paused, "It is said that the Yan Beast Group is still outside the city. Can anyone confirm it?"
Yue Shang suddenly said in a tone of sudden enlightenment: "What do you mean?"
Ye Luoxing didn't say anything else, and Lyle and the others also dispersed. The sun in the north was still hanging high in the sky, but the warm sun could not melt the severe cold in the north.
Ji Mu and Qing Yang led the team to guard the stone house, and Tabor also led the team to guard the stone house. Lu Lan did not leave, but did not go up to the second floor either.
Before noon, Ye Luoxing finished recording the information that had not been recorded and sorted out in the stone house yesterday, and asked Lu Lan to help go to the clinic opposite to get the medical assistant she left there. He did not arouse the suspicion of other orcs.
Because Xilin was not convenient to come, Ye Luoxing sorted out the information and taught Lu Lan the process of changing the dressings.
During this time, Lu Lan asked her, "You didn't teach me before, why are you teaching me all of a sudden?"
Ye Luoxing responded calmly: "Because they came too suddenly this morning, and it is not convenient for me to see Xilin now."
All the orcs knew that Xilin was guarding the stone house for the witch doctor, so she had better not arouse too much suspicion, and her reason was undoubtedly the best. Lu Lan did not doubt it and just thought that she did not want other orcs to know her identity as a witch doctor, but he still felt that something was strange.
At noon, the nobles from both sides brought food, but Ye Luoxing did not touch the things they brought. Instead, she purified the food in the stone house as usual. Qingyang saw her purifying food for Lyle and the others with his own eyes. He wanted to step forward to stop her, but was stopped by Jimu.
Then all the orcs stared at this incredible scene. They were shocked to see that her face did not change at all after she purified the food. They also completely dispelled some of their previous speculations. The food rewarded in the competition was really purified by her herself. However, to be completely unaffected by the toxins, how terrifying was her star level...
The beastmen stared at her in amazement, thinking...she was indeed the most suitable beast to be the Beast King!
Not to mention the two elders, which male beast in Polar Night City has seen her without selfish motives...
Ye Luoxing finished her lunch alone on the second floor. She wanted to catch up on some sleep and get enough rest. But just as she sat down on the bed, Lyle's voice came from the bottom of the stairs: "Female Luoxing, Lu Lan... the leader is coming up."
As his voice fell, the sound of Lu Lan's footsteps was heard, and soon, Ye Luoxing met a pair of eyes over there.
Seeing that she was about to take a rest, Lu Lan went upstairs and nodded slightly, saying, "Sorry to disturb your rest, but... Bei Yan wants to see you."
