Chapter 9: Domineering and Loyal Feng He
The atmosphere in the cave was weird. The male beasts stared at Feng He eagerly. It was quiet for about three minutes.
"Alright!" Leader Ling Dong said coldly, breaking the stalemate. "The female is injured and is indeed not suitable for moving. Let's wait until the witch doctor comes back. Besides, there is no problem for her to live with Feng He."
Ling Dong's warning made the male beasts lower their heads in self-blame. They were so excited just now that they forgot that the female was injured. It was indeed their fault.
Feng He indifferently withdrew his gaze from them, but Ling Dong's voice sounded again.
She said: "The arrival of a new female in the tribe is a big deal. Let the female rest for a day. Later tomorrow, I will call the high priest and the tribesmen to welcome the female's arrival. At that time, Fenghe, you will bring her here!"
Lingdong's words were orders, not discussions.
Feng He knew it was useless to refute, so he just glanced at the male beasts around him and said, "Come here if you are not afraid of death!"
He turned around and left, and the male beasts automatically made way for him...
Just watching him leave arrogantly, the male beasts frowned in dissatisfaction. The sixth-level male beastman said coldly: "Chief, look at him!"
…
When Feng He returned to his cave, Ye Luoxing had already returned.
He saw Ye Luoxing sitting there quietly. He immediately covered up the gloom on his face, put on a charming smile, walked towards her and said, "Luoxing, is your wound still hurting?"
"Fortunately..." Ye Luoxing was sorting out her messy space in her mind. Seeing that Feng He had returned, she immediately pulled her consciousness out of the space and looked sideways at him.
Feng He sat beside her naturally, took her into his arms and said, "It's a bit cold here. You are injured and can't catch a cold. Let me hold you and sleep for a while."
"Ah? But it's still early." Ye Luoxing looked at the sunlight pouring in from the cave entrance and left his arms unnoticed. She was indeed a little cold, but she and he had just met, so it was not appropriate to get so close to him.
Feng He saw her resistance and did not try to pull her back. He just glanced at the sky outside with her and asked in confusion, "It's already dusk. Although your rabbit tribe's hunting time is slightly different from ours, it's not too early, right?"
"Dusk?" Ye Luoxing asked in surprise, and stood up and walked towards the cave entrance. She looked at the sun hanging high in the sky, and she was sure that she was not seeing things. Could it be...
Feng He also noticed something was wrong. He came up behind her and suddenly asked in surprise, "Luo Xing, are you from the Central Continent? It's so far away, how did you get here?"
Hearing Feng He's doubtful tone, Ye Luoxing seemed to have confirmed her guess. She blurted out three words: "It's polar day!"
It seems that Yue Shang was right. This place is very similar to their planet. The orcs here can indeed be used as targets for collection missions...
"You snowy owls are nocturnal animals, right?" Ye Luoxing turned to him and asked. She remembered that the snowy owl was a kind of owl.
"We don't have such conditions in the north. We only have polar night and polar day. And because we are orcs, we will try to synchronize our activity time with other ethnic groups, so that we can better hunt and resist foreign enemies." Feng He did not continue to ask about his doubts, but actively answered Ye Luoxing's doubts.
"Are you a solitary tribe?" Ye Luoxing continued to ask. She was eager to know the difference between orcs and wild beasts.
"Non-orc snowy owls generally live alone or in family groups. They usually build nests on tundra rocks, but all orcs, regardless of their tribe, basically live in groups and live in relatively safe places." Feng He continued to patiently explain to Ye Luoxing.
What he described about the living habits of wild snowy owls was similar to what she had learned before.
It seems that there are indeed some differences between orcs and wild beasts. Living in groups is probably to defend against other tribes. After all, orcs are smarter than wild beasts.
After a brief thought, Ye Luoxing asked Yue Shang in his mind, "Can I collect information about the beasts in the Beast World as a mission target?"
"Not recommended!" Yue Shang replied quickly, "First, your information collector is not enough, and the airship can only collect information about 'people'; second, the beasts in the beast world face too many dangers, and the collection time is too long, your efforts may be in vain; third, the information of the orcs is more suitable as the raw material of the airship."
"..."Okay, just pretend she said it was all in vain.
Ye Luoxing gave up this plan.
At this time, Feng He, who was standing beside her, looked at her in a daze and couldn't help but ask, "Luo Xing, do you want to ask anything else?"
Ye Luoxing glanced at him, turned around and walked slowly towards the nest.
Yue Shang said in her mind: "The 24-hour time has been calibrated. The current time is: 19:27."
Ye Luoxing slowly sat down beside the stone bed and thought for a while.
Then, she smiled and raised her eyes, asking the orc who stood obediently in front of her: "Feng He, is Hai Na a very strong female orc in your tribe?"
The first time Feng He heard her call his name, he was stunned and didn't react for a moment, and his face turned red.
After he realized what was happening, he looked unnatural, but asked anxiously, "Have you seen Henna?"
"Um..." Ye Luoxing responded without further explanation.
Feng He half-knelt in front of her skillfully and asked with concern, "She didn't do anything to you, did she? Haina is a five-star female beastman. Apart from the leader and his female cubs, she is the strongest female beastman in our tribe, and the most beautiful female beastman in the Snow Owl Tribe. Apart from the male beasts in our tribe, many high-level male beasts in the surrounding tribes like her."
The strongest and most beautiful female beastman...
And there are many high-level male beasts pursuing...
After this simple understanding, Ye Luoxing had a basic understanding of Heina.
However, she was somewhat confused and surprised by the first two pieces of information Feng He revealed...
She didn't care about appearance, but she was concerned about: "What is the star rank? Is it similar to the rank of male beasts?"
Ye Luoxing originally wanted to test him in a roundabout way, but finally decided to ask directly. Anyway, because of her previous ignorant appearance, Feng He already had a basic definition of her in his mind, and he didn't seem to have any ill will towards her. She really didn't have the patience to waste time beating around the bush.
But this time, Feng He's eyes widened at her question and he looked at her in surprise.
Because of his abrupt gaze, Ye Luoxing was also stunned, feeling that he was looking at a fool...
"What...what happened?" Ye Luoxing stuttered.
“Luo Xing…” Feng He’s gaze and tone were very complicated. Finally, he suddenly hugged her and whispered in her ear, “Don’t worry, I have chosen you. Even if you don’t have a star rank, I will not abandon you…”
"What do you mean?" Ye Luoxing suddenly realized that star rank seemed to be very important to females.
Facing the gentle male beast in front of her, feeling his warm body temperature, Ye Luoxing was absent-minded for a moment. This time, she let him hold her tightly. Although she didn't understand the meaning of the star level, she seemed to be able to feel how much determination he had put into saying that sentence just now...
Just when the atmosphere in the cave was warm and cozy, a shadow suddenly covered the cave entrance.
As soon as Telai entered the cave, he saw this scene. His expression froze for a moment, thinking that he had come at the wrong time, but he still interrupted Feng He and said, "The leader asked me to bring you the prey you caught today. She said that you have to take care of the females now, and you don't have to share the prey you catch in the future. She also asked me to bring some fruits that the females like!"
Telai threw the prey on his shoulder to the ground and carefully placed the fruit wrapped in animal skin aside.
