Chapter 72 The Leader's Female
Hearing the system assistant's automatic announcement, my tense nerves finally relaxed.
"Yiyuan..."
She was about to say something when her body suddenly went limp and she fainted.
Seeing this, the man immediately supported her head, which was about to droop.
His eyes narrowed slightly the moment he touched the back of her head.
He held her body close to his with one hand, and gently turned her head with trembling fingertips.
He then noticed the cut on the back of her head where she had bumped her head, and his pupils contracted, his eyes filled with panic.
He immediately bent down and picked her up horizontally.
"Summon the witch doctor!" His voice trembled, filled with suppressed anger.
"yes."
Upon hearing this, Tianqi, who had just caught up, didn't even have time to be surprised and immediately went to find the witch doctor.
Although the guards on the side dared not openly watch their leader, they caught a glimpse of them embracing and overheard what the female was saying.
Seeing their leader holding her anxiously only confirmed his suspicions.
The beast husband she was looking for turned out to be their leader!
He had no idea how many setbacks and hardships she had endured along the way, all in order to find their leader.
He was truly moved by their leader!
This thrilled him even more than when he was favored by three females at the same time. He gripped the bone knife tighter and stood up straighter.
He never imagined that their leader would have a female during the year he was away.
Moreover, she is so outstanding. Not only is she good-looking, but she is also strong and brave. She can even conjure fire out of thin air, and her temper is better than most females.
In this animal world where males outnumber females, females have become increasingly arrogant due to the pampering of males, and they don't even give ordinary males a second thought.
Only young, capable, strong, and extremely handsome males like their leader can win their favor.
For slightly less desirable males, if even one ordinary female takes a liking to them, that's considered incredibly lucky.
At this moment, Yi Yuan, who was holding Shu Ning, was breathing rapidly and quickly went into his cave, fearing that she would never wake up again in the next second.
The orcs on guard duty along the way were all shocked when they saw their leader embracing a stunningly beautiful female.
They stood there calmly, but inside they were overjoyed.
This is because it is the first time in a long time that their leader has brought back a female.
He never even glanced at the females who wanted to throw themselves at him, no matter how beautiful they were.
Tianqi, who was following behind the witch doctor, was secretly pleased, because he knew before the others that the woman was their leader's female.
Compared to the females who used to like the leader, she was so much prettier.
No wonder the leader never looked at them; it turned out his females were far superior.
Thinking of this, he felt worried for both their leader and himself.
Their leader didn't even glance at her yesterday before ordering him to send her to the Serpent Tribe.
I almost kicked her out again today, leaving her to face the dangers outside all by herself.
Thinking of the scene when he met her yesterday, and how she, a female, floated on the dark pool, he couldn't help but be moved.
Fortunately, he discovered her, and he was secretly pleased and glad that he was the one who found her.
If any male orc discovers this, the consequences will be unimaginable...
Yiyuan Cave Mansion —
Upon arriving at the cave, Yi Yuan gently placed the unconscious Shu Ning on the bed and covered her with a blanket.
Tianqi quickly brought the witch doctor.
The witch doctor frowned from the beginning when he saw the injuries on her body and the wound on the back of her head.
After reapplying the herbs to her, he stood up and whispered to Yiyuan, "This female is very strong. She has been holding on ever since she was injured. Luckily, she had already treated herself with the herbs before, otherwise even if the Beast God came, he probably wouldn't have been able to save her."
"However, it seems like she suffered some kind of head injury, which caused her to lose too much blood and left her very weak."
"Change the dressing once a day for the first time, then once every two days until it heals. Be careful not to let the wound get wet."
The witch doctor finished speaking and left.
Yi Yuan sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her pale skin and purplish lips, and felt as if something was gripping his heart.
What did she go through along the way? Why is she all alone?
Doesn't she usually like to go out with werewolf beastmen the most?
He wanted to be angry, but seeing her like this, he couldn't bear to.
And how did she find him, and how did she escape from the snake tribe?
His curiosity was mixed with heartache and self-reproach.
Seeing her unconscious state and her injuries, he thought of something, and veins bulged on his forehead. He clenched his fists and exuded a chilling murderous aura.
He then got up and went out.
Tianqi, who was standing nearby, also went out.
"Give the order to rest well and recharge. We'll continue our attack tonight, and this time I'll make sure they can't cause any more trouble!"
He suppressed the raging anger burning within him, waiting for the moment to erupt.
"Yes, Chief!"
After giving his instructions, Yi Yuan sat down next to Shu Ning and looked down at her.
He reached out and gently brushed the stray hairs from her forehead to the side.
She was sleeping restlessly, her eyes were closed but her pupils were moving rapidly, and she was frowning.
He frowned slightly, gently took her hand, and after feeling the coldness of her hand, his eyes flickered slightly. He continued to warm her hand, his movements gentle, as if afraid of hurting her.
What did she go through during the days he was away?
How could she lose so much weight in just half a month?
Her beastly husbands were truly "dutiful".
However, he himself wasn't much better off.
If only I had brought her back then, I could have taken care of her myself.
The thought that he hadn't treated her very well back then made his eyes flicker with guilt.
...
As night fell, he placed the food beside her, kissed her forehead, and then set off.
After Shu Ning fainted, the pain in her body turned into a nightmare.
She dreamt that on a stormy, overcast day, she was nearly killed by a group of people. Xiao Chong, trying to save her, was taken away by them. The place was very, very far away, so far that she could never reach it. In the end, she was left alone, kneeling helplessly in the wind. She felt utterly desperate and in pain, and she cried out in anguish...
She didn't wake up until she heard sobbing beside her.
It turned out that she had been woken up by her own crying.
She breathed a sigh of relief after realizing it was just a dream.
But the scene in her dream was so real that it made her feel scared.
"Congratulations, host. You have successfully completed the main quest to increase Yi Yuan's favorability and have leveled up to level 5. Your teleportation distance has increased to 5 times, and the number of teleportations has increased to 15. Each teleportation will consume 5 favorability points."
"How far? Five times!? Fifteen times?"
"Yes, there's also good news: once all the beastmen's favorability is positive, they won't die from failing to complete future main quests."
Upon hearing the news, Shu Ning excitedly patted the blanket, but accidentally touched her own wound.
"Ah..." she cried out softly in pain.
"But be careful to keep it stable and not let it drop into a negative value, otherwise it can still endanger your life."
"clear!"
"Host, in order to maintain the ecological balance of the beast world, there is a side quest here that you need to complete."
"What kind of side quest is it? Is there a time limit?"
"There is no time limit. We must save the Serpent Tribe; they cannot be completely wiped out."
"Aren't they a mixture of various races? Although they are the most numerous among snakes."
"That's right, but some of the orcs inside are on the verge of extinction."
"This...you want me to help my beastman's opponent?"
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Shu Ning recalled that many creatures in their world had become extinct for various reasons, which was definitely not a good thing for the ecological balance.
"I accept this task."
