Chapter 70 Yichuan
Shu Ning took out a blanket from her spatial storage and slowly lay down to rest.
It's already the third day, and she doesn't have much time to waste.
She had to hurry and find Yiyuan.
As she was thinking, her eyelids began to droop after a short while.
Forget it, I'll rest better before going.
I fell asleep as soon as my thoughts stopped.
"Hey, did you hear? Today, during their patrol, they found a female lying outside the entrance to our territory," said a serpent orc.
“Sigh, these aren’t the females sent back by the Viper Tribe,” another orc said.
"No! Our leader hasn't sent any females out yet this time."
"What's going on? Could it be that their snake tribe copied us?"
"It's hard to say, but regardless of anything else, you haven't seen her. This female is absolutely amazing!"
"Really?"
"Go and see for yourself if you don't believe me."
"Walk."
The two orcs had just arrived at the entrance to the cave where Shu Ning was imprisoned when they encountered their leader there as well.
"Chief...leader," the two orcs called out one after the other.
"Yes," the man replied.
The two orcs glanced briefly at the sleeping female in the cave before leaving immediately.
One glance was enough to see her stunningly beautiful face.
Once outside, I exclaimed, "This is so beautiful! My heart was about to jump out of my chest!"
"Yes! How could the Viper Tribe be willing to send over such a female?"
"I just don't know what the leader will do with her?"
...
While Shu Ning was asleep, she was completely unaware that a pair of dark eyes were watching her from outside the cave.
He clearly remembered that he hadn't given her anything yet, so how did a blanket suddenly appear?
Could it be that some male secretly gave it to her?
A sinister glint flashed in his eyes as he thought of this.
But when he saw that the female in front of him was sleeping soundly, the coldness in his eyes lessened.
He then put the things he had prepared for her inside and left.
Shu Ning slept from day to night.
Just as she was about to drift into a deep sleep, she was suddenly awakened by a cacophony of noises.
She sat up abruptly and listened carefully; it sounded like the painful sounds of a fight.
She paused for a moment when she saw the food, water, and blankets that had suddenly appeared beside her.
But the current situation doesn't allow her to think too much about it.
Remembering what the system said about the serpent tribe and the viper tribe being enemies, she suddenly became wary.
Before they attacked, Shu Ning used teleportation to get away, trying to distance herself from the fight but not too far away.
Otherwise, I would have to walk back myself.
Meanwhile, fierce fighting was taking place in the Teng tribe, which had been suddenly attacked.
After fiercely defeating their opponents, the leader of the snakes, Han She, rested briefly and then remembered Shu Ning, whom he had imprisoned, so he decided to go and see her.
But as soon as they reached the cave entrance, they discovered that she had vanished.
He quickly stepped forward to check.
Seeing that everything he had prepared for her was still untouched, his eyes darkened.
There were no signs of forced entry on the outside.
He went outside and asked, "Where is he?"
Upon hearing this, the guard outside immediately rushed in, his eyes wide with shock. He had clearly been outside the whole time and hadn't seen anyone go in or out.
The man stared at the empty hole, his eyes narrowing slightly, a dangerous glint in them.
Although Shu Ning's injuries had not yet healed, she dared not slack off and followed the map instructions in the encyclopedia.
She walks for a while and then rests for a while.
Under the cover of night, she needed to find Yiyuan's residence as soon as possible.
After finally finding his territory, she looked at the two steep, intertwined mountain walls in front of her, with thick fog obscuring her view and making it impossible to see anything.
The guard at the entrance had just started his shift when he saw a female approaching, and his eyes lit up.
"Um... hello, is Yiyuan here?" Shu Ning asked him.
The guard looked puzzled.
"Not here?"
Shu Ning looked at his puzzled expression and asked.
The map clearly shows this is his nearest residence.
“Yi-Yuan,” she said, raising her voice to emphasize, as if she thought he hadn’t heard her clearly.
"I'm sorry, the person you're looking for isn't here," the guard said.
Shu Ning felt that he must think she was a stranger and didn't want her to come to him, which was why he said that.
So she explained to him, "I am Shu Ning, the female of Yi Yuan. Please make an exception for me. I am here to find my beast husband."
The guard frowned. None of the snake tribe members were named Yiyuan, but their leader was named Yichuan, which was similar to Yiyuan.
"I'm sorry, the person you're looking for isn't here. Please leave," he said again, gesturing for them to leave.
Shu Ning guessed that she might have lost weight now, but they probably still thought that Yi Yuan's females were fat.
“I really am Yi Yuan’s female. If you don’t believe me, let me in to find him and ask him directly.”
Seeing her persistence, the guard went in to report.
"Chief, there is someone outside who is looking for a male named Yiyuan, saying that she is his female."
At this moment, Yi Yuan, who had just finished the battle, removed his equipment.
Upon hearing his words, he was first taken aback, his pupils contracted slightly, and then a look of disgust appeared on his face.
He never expected that she would actually follow him here.
"Let her go," he said coldly.
"Yes, Chief." The guard left after receiving the reply.
"I'm sorry, our leader wants you to leave. Please go back."
Hearing this, Shu Ning was confused. Was Yi Yuan not inside, or did he not want to see her?
What was she supposed to do?
"007, is Yiyuan inside?"
"Yes, host."
Shu Ning understood; he was angry with her.
He was angry that the original owner of the house had taken advantage of his kindness to repay him.
She decided not to go anywhere else and would just stay here at the door.
Until I see him.
Shu Ning immediately set up a makeshift bed on the spot.
Seeing her like this, the guard neither made a fuss nor left, but simply sat quietly to one side.
He didn't send her away again.
I just don't understand why she insisted on coming here to find her beastly husband, even though I had already told her he wasn't here.
Also, the leader's attitude just now seemed a bit off.
This puzzled him.
Yiyuan…Yichuan…
Could it be!
He was shocked by his own thoughts.
He glanced at the female sitting to the side again, this time looking at her more carefully.
Only then did I notice that her fair skin had many scars and bruises, her clothes were tattered, and her face showed signs of exhaustion.
He was deeply moved.
She must have gone through a lot of hardships in order to find her beastly husband.
He sighed and said, "You should lie down and rest. I'll watch over things."
Upon hearing this, Shu Ning looked at him in surprise.
Didn't he just try to drive her away?
Why has your attitude changed so drastically now?
However, she really wanted to lie down, but then she thought better of it.
In the latter half of the night, she couldn't hold back any longer and simply lay down and fell asleep.
The next morning—
The orc who found her yesterday was about to go find his leader when he discovered Shu Ning lying to the side.
He froze instantly. Hadn't he carried her to the front of the Serpent Tribe's territory? He had even watched them pick her up before leaving. How did she end up here today?
Did they throw him out again?
Upon waking up and noticing someone staring at her, Shu Ning immediately got up.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"I am Tianqi, the patrolman here. And who are you, and how did you get here?"
"I've come to find my beast husband. My name is Shu Ning. Do you know Yi Yuan? Can you take me to see him?" she said sincerely, looking at him.
"Wait a moment, I'll go and report to the chief."
