Chapter 76 Retreat
"You... are the leader of the Viper Tribe?" Shu Ning looked up at him.
"Hmm, what's wrong? Is Ningning surprised by my identity?" Yi Yuan looked down at the female in his arms, a slight smile playing on his lips.
She was indeed quite surprised. The thought of waiting for him for so long at the entrance of the Serpent Tribe and him refusing to come out to see her made her angry.
Although there might be a misunderstanding, it was because of his grudges with the original owner, which had nothing to do with her, but she was still inexplicably angry.
That jerk! He wouldn't have wanted to see her even if he hadn't seen the changes in her, but his attitude towards her completely reversed after he saw how beautiful she became.
Men really are visual creatures.
But then she suddenly remembered that he seemed to treat the original owner well too; at least he was the only one among the original owner's three beast husbands who was willing to bring her food every day.
They even fed the original owner continuously for a year without interruption, even after seeing how ugly and fat the original owner looked.
The original owner grew so fat under his mother's pampering, and maintained that weight for another year under his feeding, even getting fatter.
She had to admire that; she found herself having no reason to dislike him.
On the contrary, it was she herself who, for the sake of the system's mission, brought him back and bothered him again.
They even prevented him from dominating this desolate swamp...
Thinking about it this way, it seems that she is the one who has wronged him more.
Thinking of this, Shu Ning couldn't help but rub her forehead and smile bitterly.
I don't know what he was thinking.
Thinking of such a fine male, she seemed to understand why she had been so sad in his cave with the wolf pack that day.
Perhaps she is reminiscing, or perhaps "she" is missing him...
Suddenly remembering something, she got up from his lap and sat down next to him.
When Yi Yuan saw her suddenly get up and sit down next to him, he asked, "What's wrong?"
"So many people are watching," she whispered as she leaned closer to him.
The man's lips curled into a smile, and he pulled her into his arms.
"What are you afraid of?" he said in a low, chuckling voice in my ear. "I just want them all to know that you are my female."
Shu Ning blushed even more as she felt the warm breath on her ear.
She felt embarrassed no matter where she looked, so she could only transfer all her feelings to her hands and clutch his clothes tightly.
The man noticed her movements, and his smile deepened.
Seeing their leader in such a good mood, the surrounding beastmen were also infected by his good mood and relaxed.
Then, the orc who had just gone out returned to report.
"Chief, the attack has ceased."
"Very good, retreat."
"Yes." The orc said and then went out again.
Upon hearing this, the other orc leaders whispered among themselves, not understanding why they were retreating when they were so close to success.
“Chief, this…” one of the leading orcs said.
"What... do you have a problem with this?" Yi Yuan looked at him with icy eyes, then glanced at the other beastmen.
"Do we really have to kill them all?"
“The chief is right. Let’s leave some offspring for them, otherwise the other orcs will say we’re ruthless,” one of the orcs said.
"Hahaha..." The other orcs echoed with laughter.
Hearing their conversation, Shu Ning was secretly delighted; she had finally completed her mission.
The man beside her noticed the expression on the woman's face, a slight smile playing on his lips, and a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.
He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I promised Ningning I'd 'leave off their offspring,' so shouldn't my female give me some reward too?"
Upon hearing this, Shu Ning's ears turned red, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
"What...reward do you want?" Shu Ning asked softly and shyly, her face burning even hotter after she asked.
"What do you think?" The man's voice was deep and magnetic, with a hint of seduction in his words.
Upon hearing this, Shu Ning lowered her head even further.
Seeing this, the man's lips curled into a smile, and he easily picked her up in his arms.
Shu Ning was so embarrassed by being picked up by him again in front of everyone that she was too ashamed to look at them, so she could only bury her head in his chest once more.
The surrounding beastmen watched with shining eyes, excitedly seeing them off.
"Go back now," he said to the beastmen present, then strode away with his long legs.
On the way back, Shu Ning still felt hot all over, especially on her face.
I didn't dare look at him the whole time, and my mind was racing to find a topic to change the subject.
Suddenly remembering something, she poked her head out and asked, "Yiyuan, why have none of your men ever heard of you?"
Upon hearing this, the man remained silent for a moment before explaining to her, "Because this is the name I chose for myself; I didn't tell them."
"So what's your name here?" Shu Ning asked curiously.
"What, Ningning, are you so interested in my name?" the man asked with a smile as he looked down.
"Of course you need to know, right? The day I came to see you, I told your men your name, and none of them knew it."
“It was my oversight. Now I’ll tell Ningning my name here, it’s Yichuan, remember that?” He looked down at her, his eyes deep.
"Okay, I've got it."
...
Snake Tribe —
Upon learning that the other side had indeed retreated, Han She's eyes narrowed slightly; she hadn't expected that the other side would actually succeed.
Wow, that really surprised him.
However, since the enemy has already retreated, he naturally won't continue the attack, but...
He's really looking forward to having a female.
"Someone come here."
"exist."
"Prepare to welcome your leader's wife."
"yes."
...
Viper Tribe —
After returning to the cave, the man placed her on the bed and then ordered his men to bring them some food.
Shu Ning's eyes lit up when she saw the fresh fish, shrimp, crabs, shellfish, and exotic fruits in front of her. Her stomach wasn't hungry at first, but it started growling as soon as she saw the food.
Seeing her enjoying her meal, Yi Yuan looked at her with gentle eyes.
Thinking about how hard she must have worked to get here, he suddenly asked, "How did you find this place?"
"I..." Shu Ning didn't know how to answer for a moment.
You can't exactly say you flipped to page 666666 of the encyclopedia and followed the map there, can you?
"I missed you so much, I searched so many places before finally finding this place." After she finished speaking, she felt like she couldn't even convince herself.
Moreover, he was the leader.
Upon hearing this, Yi Yuan's eyes darkened, then flashed with a dangerous light, but he gently cupped her face in his hands.
"Really?" He looked at her intently.
"Mmm." She looked at him shyly, then took a bite of fruit.
Upon hearing her affirmation, the man's lips curled into a slight smile, revealing a seemingly gentle expression, but his eyes remained unreadable.
"Oh, I see. Well..."
He pulled her into his arms, resting his chin gently on her head. "I'm so touched."
He held her tightly, his fingertips intertwining with her hair, his voice suggestive.
"It's so late... my female, shouldn't we rest?"
