Lu Lan served her some freshly cooked rice: "It's fresh, eat first."
Pochen still brought the fruits and meat skewers in a familiar manner: "These are also fresh. You must be hungry."
Ye Luoxing's stomach did growl, and she took the food they handed her. Feng He asked her to eat the fruit first, while he helped her fan the porridge to cool it down.
After dinner, it was already 4:40 in the afternoon.
Ye Luoxing stood up and said to Feng He, "I have to go out for a while. You guys go and do your own things first."
As she was about to leave, Pochen took two steps forward to stop her: "Where are you going?"
Po Chen's expression was not as cold as usual. He looked at her with respect.
Seeing Feng He and Lu Lan following them, Ye Luoxing looked worried. She said bluntly, "I need to find Bei Yan for something. Is he still on the same mountain as before?"
She threw questions at them, and when they heard her say that she was going to find Bei Yan, they felt relieved a little, but they were still worried.
Lu Lan nodded: "Well, he should be there now."
Ye Luoxing walked out again: "Okay, then I'll go first, you can wait here for me, no need to follow me."
This time, she left and they didn't stop her, but how could they feel at ease?
As soon as she walked out of the cave, they caught up with her again and saw the figure moving in the direction of the northern beast.
Along the way, orcs from various tribes greeted her warmly and respectfully. She dodged a few leaps and jumped onto the mountain.
Po Chen couldn't help but follow him, and after hesitating, Lu Lan and Feng He were afraid of something going wrong, so they also transformed into beasts and chased after him.
However, this time Ye Luoxing did not lie to them. She really had something to do with Bei Yan, and she quickly locked onto the cave where Bei Yan was, and with a few jumps, she landed inside the cave.
"This smell..." Inside the cave, a group of high-level beasts from the North were discussing something with Bei Yan. Chi Yu and Tans were also there, but even from a long distance away, they had already smelled the familiar smell and immediately stopped talking.
Sure enough, as the smell became stronger and closer, when they looked back at the cave entrance, they saw that the female had entered the cave.
"Female from Luoxing..." Tans murmured, his heart beating wildly.
"Sister, why are you here?" Chiyu had a stern face just now, but now a big smile appeared on his face.
The expressions of the other male beasts were very unnatural. They wanted to say hello, but they were too embarrassed to do so. Some of them even didn't dare to look her in the eye.
Ye Luoxing walked a few steps to them, and they made way for her. Ye Luoxing looked at Bei Yan, who was sitting on a rock inside, and asked, "Is there something urgent you need to discuss?"
Bei Yan shook his head: "It's not too urgent."
Ye Luoxing nodded and said bluntly: "I have something I want to talk to you alone."
Then, she looked around again, scanning Chiyu, Tans and the others: "Can you please step aside for a moment?"
Chiyu was obviously full of curiosity, but after looking at her and Beiyan, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, sister, I won't go far. Call me if you need anything."
"Then...the Luoxing female, we'll go out first." Tans said.
The two of them left the cave one after another with the other male beasts. Ye Luoxing withdrew his gaze when he heard that they had gone far away. He sat down opposite Bei Yan, with a stone table between them.
Outside the cave, Feng He, Po Chen and Lu Lan followed. Only when they saw Ye Luoxing really entered the cave where Bei Yan was did they completely put their minds at ease. But then they saw Chi Yu leaving the cave with the herd of beasts. They were curious and confused. In the end, they, like Chi Yu and the others, stayed around the mountain and did not leave too far, waiting for her to finish her business.
The sunlight poured into the cave and fell on two beautiful figures.
"I'm surprised that you would come to see me." Bei Yan spoke first, but he was secretly happy in his heart. No matter what she came for, he was sure that he should be the first male beast that she had taken the initiative to come to her recently.
"Tell me, what do you want to say?" He softened his voice, looked at her with a smile, and showed his best attitude.
Ye Luoxing looked at the powerful and handsome male orc in front of her. He had helped her many times. He was a little different from Krolin and Yue Huang, so she chose to believe him.
She got straight to the point: "I want you to protect Feng He. In the future, as long as you are together, please don't leave him alone with the enemy!"
After she told him her purpose, Bei Yan opened his lips slightly. He was happy about her coming and didn't want to care about her purpose. But when she made this request, he was still surprised. He couldn't help but get nervous, and a sour feeling arose in his heart, which made him feel blocked and uncomfortable.
He chuckled and didn't answer immediately.
Ye Luoxing noticed some of his emotions and said slowly, "Feng He is a beastman from the north, just like you. However, he didn't grow up in the Beast City and has now left his tribe. Although his rank is not low, he is different from you. He is isolated and has no companions by his side. You all have beast packs following you. His situation—is not safe."
Bei Yan lowered his head and sighed softly, but she didn't notice.
He whispered, "With your current strength, it's enough to protect him."
She continued, "I can't protect him forever."
Bei Yan's heart skipped a beat, the tension in his heart still engulfed him, and even turned into a hint of fear.
He looked up: "Are you leaving? Are you leaving after all?"
Ye Luoxing did not answer. After a long silence, she nodded imperceptibly.
And during this long silence, Bei Yan had confirmed the answer.
He was silent. The atmosphere around him was not good. He was alone digesting the emotions in his heart that were about to consume him.
After an unknown amount of time, he spoke again softly, "You feel he's unsafe because—you're on guard against them, and that might include me."
He raised his eyes and smiled helplessly: "You know, with his level, he is actually in a very safe situation, unless, after you leave, he is targeted by several high-level beasts at the same time."
Bei Yan's eyes were misty: "Lolo, you treat him differently from how you treat us."
Bei Yan felt sad and bitter in his heart, but he didn't show it too much because he didn't want to affect her.
Ye Luoxing was a perceptive person. She caught the subtle mist in Bei Yan's eyes. She was quiet for two seconds, then chose to slowly tell him, "When I first arrived here, the first orc I met was Feng He. At that time, the orcs of the Snow Owl Tribe didn't like me very much. Feng He helped me a lot, helped me understand this world, and even traveled thousands of miles to find me. I think you can understand that I value this sincerity."
"Lolo, your heart is warm." Bei Yan looked at her directly. Her heart was completely different from the indifference she showed.
"Then..." The two words trembled slightly, but not obviously.
He smiled and asked her, "Why don't you take him as your partner? Take him away."
