Finally, before that tear was about to fall, he hugged her tightly in his arms and whispered softly behind her ear, "I'm sorry, A'Luo!"
He was apologizing to her for his rash hug, but he didn't want her to see his tears. He wanted to hug her and do what he had always wanted to do, but he couldn't resist the impulse and could only admit his mistake while making it.
His body temperature was so high that Ye Luoxing could feel it even through his thick coat.
The hot breath from his mouth made the area behind her ears warm. His heartbeat was strong, and he held her so tightly that she found it difficult to breathe. He pressed against her, and her hands fell on his waist, intending to push him away.
Forget it, just treat it as the final farewell, just a hug. After all, we were once friends. Her heart was churning with emotions, as if she understood the sadness.
Just as Liao Yuan held her tightly and refused to let go, footsteps were heard on the snow beside him.
Then a shadow slowly descended, and a strong arm rested on the mountain wall beside them. A cold and eerie voice came out with a hostile tone: "What are you doing?"
The sudden sound of footsteps alerted the man and the beast. When they looked over, they found that Krolin stopped in front of them with a sinister look in his eyes, his face extremely dark.
Liao Yuan had noticed his arrival a long time ago, but did not let go of Ye Luoxing in time.
It was not until he stopped beside him and uttered these words that Liao Yuan slowly let go of Ye Luoxing. It was because she had difficulty breathing and patted his waist lightly that he let her go.
The tears and mist in Liao Yuan's eyes had long since receded. He stared at Krolin indifferently, his aura no less powerful than his.
After Ye Luoxing left Liao Yuan's embrace, she turned her head to look at Krolin. She saw that he was filled with resentment heavier than a ghost. She didn't know how much of her conversation with Liao Yuan he had heard, but thinking about it, he must have just arrived not long ago, otherwise he would have appeared when Liao Yuan hugged her...
She opened her mouth directly: "You two should talk first, I'm leaving."
She didn't intend to answer, let alone explain, because there was no need and she didn't want to stay in this place any longer.
She was about to leave when Krolin grabbed her arm and said in a dangerous voice, "A Luo!"
Ye Luoxing glanced at him dissatisfiedly, pulled back his arm, and left.
Cronin glared at Liao Yuan and warned him in a deep voice, "If you dare touch her again, I'll chop off your hand."
Liao Yuan sneered disdainfully, "Didn't you anticipate this a long time ago? Krolin, you have to understand that you can't protect her on your own. The Beast World is full of higher-ranked beasts. If an outstanding female beast like A Luo truly wants to form a mate and truly needs the protection of an orc, the strength of a single eighth-rank beast is far from enough."
Krolin's anger was written on his face, but Liao Yuan was telling the truth. One of the reasons why he could accept Liao Yuan joining the Yan Beast Group was that he could better protect Ye Luoxing. Otherwise, once more high-level beasts discovered her, she would sooner or later be targeted by other orcs, or even snatched away!
But seeing him hugging her, Krolin was very unhappy. It was normal for a female beast to have many partners. Although he was a Yan beast, he still accepted this. However, A Luo was not allowed. She was so outstanding. He had always respected and loved her. He couldn't let other beastmen get their hands on her...
To be precise, Krolin felt that no beast was worthy of A Luo, although he himself wanted to be her partner...
Krolin didn't bother to pay attention to Liao Yuan and turned to chase Ye Luoxing. Liao Yuan looked at him deeply as he left, and then followed him...
Ye Luoxing didn't want to get entangled with Clorindo, so he quickly returned to the cave with the help of the rope.
Unexpectedly, just as she sat down, Krolin quickly followed in, followed by Liao Yuan.
He sat directly next to her and put his shoulder close to her head: "A Luo, it's still early, you should sleep a little longer. I'll cushion you, or you can sleep on me. I can transform into a beast."
“…” Ye Luoxing wanted to refuse, but suddenly remembered something.
"Okay~" she replied with a smile, looking at his legs.
When she agreed, Krolin and Liao Yuan were both stunned. You know, when they usually brought up this matter, Ye Luoxing always firmly refused, but this time, she actually agreed.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Clorin's eyes suddenly lit up with a smile, wiping away the dark clouds on his face. His mouth was almost stretched to his ears, and his face was full of smiles. He didn't care why she agreed, but he couldn't hide the happiness in his heart.
He quickly transformed into a beast and motioned Ye Luoxing to lie down on it. Ye Luoxing didn't lie down directly, but she didn't say rude to him either. She almost buried her upper body in the feathers, and her lower body lay on the ground. Liao Yuan put a thick animal skin under her.
Ye Luoxing felt very warm and rubbed herself against the fur. She hadn't had a good rest in the past few days and there was still some time before dawn, so she could get a good sleep for an hour or two. She closed her eyes and prepared to fall asleep. Krolin was still frozen in place, not daring to move, because she had just rubbed his feathers lightly.
The expression in his blue eyes was unnatural. Seeing that she was completely motionless, even though his current posture seemed uncomfortable, he still maintained this posture without moving a single bit...
Liao Yuan looked at the two figures beside him, with some guesses in his mind. He didn't say much and fell asleep on the side.
Time passed quickly. More than an hour later, it was already past three in the morning.
Ye Luoxing only slept lightly for a while and did not fall asleep at all. She knew that the beast under her was not asleep either.
But she still pretended to be asleep. She knew that orcs were very perceptive, but she was also very good at pretending to be asleep. As long as she was careful not to reveal any flaws, it would be difficult to be discovered. She asked Yueshang in her mind and learned that it was almost four o'clock.
After a while, just after four o'clock, Ye Luoxing heard Liu Fei seem to come in.
When he saw the scene in the cave, he was obviously shocked, because he also felt that this was not Ye Luoxing's character.
"Shh!" But when he heard Krolin telling him to keep his voice down, he suppressed his surprise and didn't make any more sound.
He wanted to call Crolin out, obviously he had something to say, but the female beast in his arms was still sleeping.
So, Krolin signaled him with his eyes to go out and wait. Ye Luoxing seemed to sense something, and she did not move for a while. After realizing that Liu Fei had gone out, about twenty minutes later, she pretended to turn over on Krolin and rolled off him.
Because she had turned over more than once before, it would not arouse suspicion this time.
In the past, Krolin would carefully move her back. This time, when he saw her rolling on the thick animal hide, he couldn't help but stretch out his wings to move her back, but after taking a look outside, he finally folded his wings.
"A Luo, have a good rest and wait for me to come back." He stared at her sleeping face for several minutes before he transformed into a human form and slowly stood up from the side, then quietly slipped out of the cave.
Nearly ten minutes later, they were probably far away. Before Ye Luoxing got up, he heard a voice from the side: "You guessed right, they do have something to do. They've already left. Are you going to escape?"
