Chapter 492 As long as you are happy
Ye Luoxing looked at his back, sat there and waited quietly. She had no intention of taking the opportunity to slip away at this moment.
However, she was right not to be impulsive, because within five minutes, Xilan Meng came back with a large bundle of firewood. She didn't know where he got the firewood from. She just saw him holding the firewood in one hand and the fire in the other, and slowly walking back to the river.
Three minutes later, a fire was lit in front of her. Xilan Meng went to the river again to wash his hands and the two fish, and then sat opposite her. The man and the beast were separated by the fire. He took out a bone knife he had just found and began to clean the fish scales.
This time the silence lasted less than four minutes.
"Lolo." When the familiar voice sounded again, the name made Ye Luoxing dazed.
"Can I call you that?" Xilan Meng raised his head and looked at her expectantly.
Ye Luoxing opened his mouth slightly but still said nothing. He watched Xilan Meng skewer the fish and start grilling it. He was very efficient.
Xilan Meng did not get her answer, nor did he show any unhappiness. Instead, a smile appeared on his face. He looked at her for a while, lowered his head, and glanced at his feet. There was an imperceptible cunning in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
While grilling fish, Xilan Meng took the initiative to chat with her, but Ye Luoxing did not expect the topic of his chat.
He actually asked her: "Did Yue Huang talk to you last night?"
This mermaid...
Ye Luoxing answered him this time: "Yeah."
It was rare for Xilan to be so direct, he asked her with a smile: "Did you promise him?"
The fire in front of him suddenly burst into flames. Through the flames, Ye Luoxing couldn't see through this orc. He didn't even know what she talked about with Yue Huang, but he asked directly. Did he know what she talked about with Yue Huang? Or...
"..." This time, after hesitating, she still didn't respond.
Xilan Meng said seriously: "Instead of forming an alliance with him, you might as well form an alliance with me."
The direct words made Ye Luoxing stare at him fiercely. What exactly did this mermaid want to do?
She asked him, "I will form an alliance with you? How? What are the benefits?"
Xilan Meng turned the fish over: "I can help you deal with him."
Such a simple sentence made Ye Luoxing's heart beat slower, and there was shock in her eyes that she could not hide.
She exclaimed: "You?"
Seeing her reaction, Xilanmeng smiled even more brightly: "I can keep you safe."
There was doubt in her words: "Aren't you Yancheng very united? Are you going to betray Yancheng?"
Xilan Meng shook his head: "No, but with me here, I won't let him force you to get married."
When he said this, Ye Luoxing understood and she remembered something.
"Yuehuang's attitude changed. Is it because of you?" she wanted to confirm.
"Yes." He didn't hide it.
By the quiet river, there were only two figures, hers and his. The grass under and around the fire had been cleared, and sparks splashed on the soil.
After a long while, she asked him, "What are your conditions?"
"I have no conditions." He said this without any hesitation and answered so quickly.
Ye Luoxing was surprised again. She didn't trust him very much.
Xilan Meng continued: "As long as you are happy, I have no conditions."
At the same time, he saw her suspicion, and he said patiently: "I know the suspicion and vigilance in your heart. I am the elder of Yancheng and their companion. It is right for you to doubt me. I can understand. However, please believe me once, because I will never hurt you."
He made the promise sincerely, as if begging for her trust, both in his words and in his eyes that were expectant and afraid of being rejected.
He suddenly spoke so directly that Ye Luoxing was a little slow to react...
However, he is not as aggressive as Yue Huang. He is like a stream flowing through one's heart or a flower petal falling into one's palm. This non-aggressive show of goodwill makes it hard for people to dislike him. Moreover, it is not known whether he is good at using his appearance and expression or he is just like that.
Ye Luoxing added: "It sounds like this won't do me any harm."
Xilan Meng looked at her and chuckled.
"I won't tell him about you and me." He promised her again, even though she had agreed to his request.
As time passed, the first fish was grilled.
He carefully picked out the bones from the fish and handed it to her: "Try it."
Ye Luoxing took it and took a small bite. Her eyes lit up. She could actually taste some crispness. Although there was no seasoning, the taste was very light and even had a fishy smell. But for an orc, Xilan Meng's craftsmanship amazed her. It was better than Feng He and Yue Huang's.
"Do you like it?" He asked the question again.
"Yeah." She nodded.
Xilan Meng continued to grill the second fish: "From now on, I will give you another fish every day."
Ye Luoxing stopped eating and looked at the orc opposite the fire. The red flames formed a sharp contrast with his deep blue. The flames were scorching, and he was dazzling. There was some mysterious and strange temperament about him, tempting people to get closer.
When Xilan Meng was with her, he was always polite and never did anything excessive, let alone said anything excessive.
She recalled the scene of the orc dying in the Midnight City. The capture did not break him. He had a very strong heart. Ye Luoxing did not know him very well, but, at least for now, she had not seen him do anything excessive...
She didn't know who started the feud between the North and the West. If, at this point, Xilan Meng had a "reasonable reason" to retaliate against the orcs from the North who had abused him...
"Thank you." Ye Luoxing thanked him and continued eating the fish in his hand.
When Xilan Meng heard these two words, his blue eyes trembled, emotions surged in his heart, and his hands couldn't help but tighten to suppress his emotions.
"You saved me, and I'll always remember that. So, you never need to say thank you to me." He said this softly.
The second fish was ready and he handed it to her.
Ye Luoxing refused. She said, "Eat it yourself. What I have is enough."
Xilan Meng didn't eat grilled fish, and he had grilled it specifically for her, but after a brief pause, he withdrew his hand and said, "Okay, I'll try it too."
Time passed quickly. The man and the beast ate two fish by the river. Then Xilan Meng put out the fire and cleaned up the residue by the river.
During this period, no orcs disturbed them.
In the afternoon, Ye Luoxing followed Xilan Meng back to his wooden house. Today, she still had to change his medicine.
Yue Huang had not come back yet. She had been with Xilan Meng the whole day. Xilan Meng even carefully introduced the terrain and environment around Yancheng to her without hiding anything from her or guarding against her.
Just as Ye Luoxing changed the medicine for him and was about to leave, the orc lying on the bed reached out his hand, held her hand, and gently called out: "Lolo."
