"Heh~" Ye Luoxing sneered, feeling indescribable irony. Krolin captured her and those female beasts, imprisoned them, and said that it was because of her that he agreed to such conditions. There is selfishness in evil. People are not black and white, and the same is true for beastmen, but evil is still evil.
However, this incident at least prevented the female beasts from falling into hell completely, and allowed them to see some light. Ye Luoxing guessed that it might be related to the last time the female beasts of the Tern Clan used the red beast patterns to kill many Hell Beasts. With Krolin's cautiousness, he would definitely be on guard.
Ye Luoxing asked calmly, "Have you told the females of the White Wolf Clan about this?"
Liao Yuan nodded: "Yes, I've already talked about it."
She then asked, "How do they react? Fight and run away? Or?"
The sounds she made were faint and there was no emotion in her voice. It was like she was chatting with a friend, making it difficult for people to see through her.
Liao Yuan didn't know how to reply to her. He turned towards her slightly with a serious expression. After hesitating, he finally spoke.
However, he changed his approach: "They had already resisted when they were first captured by the Yan Beast Herd, but it was useless. Now... they won't resist as fiercely as before."
Ye Luoxing knew what he wanted to say from his hesitant words. After all, she had been captured by the Yan Beast before. Female beasts captured by the Yan Beast would initially resist fiercely. As for later, they might not give up trying to escape, but the Yan Beast's methods...
In other words, they actually resisted and have not stopped resisting...
"Actually," Liao Yuan wanted to say something, but after another hesitation, he continued, "When I joined the Yan Beast Group, Krolin and the others were with the main group, along with the females. They saw me then, and they... were injured, so they... wanted me to stay."
Finally, he uttered the last few words. He didn't want to tell her this way because it sounded like his excuse, but when he saw her changing attitude towards him, he couldn't help but say it.
Because of his words, Ye Luoxing's body and expression froze at the same time. She and he just stared at each other quietly across the entrance of a cave. Emotions surged in Ye Luoxing's heart as she looked into his sincere eyes.
After a while, she whispered, "Why didn't you say it before?"
He lowered his head slightly and said, "I'm afraid you won't believe me and will hate me even more."
"I believe it." She uttered these two simple words. Ye Luoxing believed it. She believed that her vision of people would naturally be good for orcs. If Liao Yuan said this, she would believe it. She knew that he would not lie to her about such things.
When she uttered those two words firmly, Liao Yuan's heart was stirred by her again, and his purple pupils trembled.
Ye Luoxing also understood that in that situation, the females would most likely do that.
Her voice was very soft: "Tell me in detail."
Liao Yuan slowly stood up straight. Previously, he was sometimes afraid to look her in the eye, but now he was much more natural.
He said, "Before I met the female beasts, I did have the idea of joining the Yan Beast Group, but when I saw their faces full of fear and their bodies covered with scars, I hesitated. When they saw me appear in the Yan Beast Group, they looked at me with disappointment, and even hated me. I can understand them..."
"However, I still stayed. I wanted to negotiate with Krolin and perhaps do my best to protect them. They heard my conversation with Krolin and seemed to understand some of my thoughts, so they wanted me to stay. At a certain moment, I heard them whispering my name." At that moment, Liao Yuan also froze.
He did not deny that he had originally thought of joining the Yan Beast Group, but later, this incident made him more determined.
Listening to him talk about what happened that day, Ye Luoxing seemed to be able to imagine the scene of that day. Perhaps many decisions were made in chaos. After he learned that the White Wolf Tribe was destroyed, he was in chaos. Later, he went to the Yan Beast Group and met the female beasts. He completely embarked on the path he chose in the chaos, and the road ahead was full of fog.
Ye Luoxing took a deep breath and sighed heavily. For a long time, she didn't know what to say.
Liao Yuan slowly walked towards him. Ye Luoxing leaned against the mountain wall without moving, knowing that he was approaching.
Ye Luoxing spoke in an ambiguous tone, "Liao Yuan, because I saved you twice, and you helped me break through the siege. Although we haven't been together for a long time, a friend in need is always memorable. I understand your past, sympathize with you, and feel the same way you feel. So, how can you expect me not to be disappointed in you?"
Liao Yuan stopped in front of her and didn't move. She lowered her head, not knowing what his expression was, but when she saw his hand, which had just been raised, froze in the air, she slowly raised her head.
When her tranquil black pupils met those inexplicable purple ones, she slowly uttered her final words: "However, after listening to your story today, I can understand the decision you made at that moment. Whether I agree with this approach or not, I don't want to criticize you. I know that this path you've taken has been difficult..."
"But." She changed the subject, and Liao Yuan's pupils, which had just lit up, slowly dimmed again.
"After all, you and I can't go the same way. The Yan Beast and I have always gone in opposite directions. If you go with them, we will only get farther and farther away. I can only hope that you won't get deeper and deeper into trouble in the future." When Ye Luoxing said this, she felt reluctant in her heart. She had just come to the beast world and didn't know many beastmen, let alone those she was familiar with. Now she was going to lose one more.
Liao Yuan's eyes were red and misty, his hands trembled slightly, and then his whole body trembled slightly.
For him, his tribe is gone, the white wolves don't like him, and now Chief Taya is gone too. She is the only orc he cares about in this world. No, it's more than just concern. She has saved him many times and escaped from the siege with him. As she said, this deep feeling is unforgettable and irreplaceable.
She walked into his life, which was like a stagnant pool of water. How could he just worry about her? She was the female he loved! The female buried deep in his heart, the female he was willing to sacrifice his life for her safety!
"A Luo, I want to go to Beast City with you, is that okay?" Liao Yuan finally asked this question, his voice slightly hoarse.
"I want to be your partner. I have no other beasts in the beast world. You are the only one I care about. Dead beasts will not be resurrected. You are more important than revenge. I want to be with you so I can forget the hatred. A male beast is supposed to protect his partner for his whole life." Liao Yuan understood his own heart. As long as he could be with her, he would no longer be obsessed with hatred.
Tears welled up in his eyes, his voice trembled, and his handsome and strong face looked like it would break at any moment.
Ye Luoxing looked at Liao Yuan like this, and her heart was touched. He was different from her because he was her in the past.
But she didn't dare to give him any promises: "Liao Yuan, I can't be your partner."
She is a human, he is an orc, and she will leave the animal world sooner or later, so how can she guarantee him anything?
She wanted to say that he could go to Beast City with her because she didn't want him to go astray, but she didn't want him to have high expectations. If he followed her, how could she guarantee that he wouldn't "go astray"? He might not get the result he wanted.
After all, she and he were not from the same world. She didn't want to get too involved. She would let him choose his own path...
When Liao Yuan heard her reject him, his burning heart slowly sank to the bottom and his fingers felt stiff.
