Chapter 8 Her Voice Healed
"Do you care about me so much?" The man held her tightly in his arms, with endless attachment, and his low voice contained an unconcealable gentle chuckle.
"Lancang!" Sang Luo crawled out from his arms.
"Luoluo, is your throat okay?" Lan Cang was still surprised, and then he carried her back to his strong and slender thighs, looking her around to make sure that he was not hallucinating because of his serious injury.
Not only did he survive, the little mute could even speak!
"Hmph, I'm not mute. I was injured before, and my vocal cords were torn, so I can't speak normally. But thanks to the beast crystals you fed me during this period, those crystals have a very good healing function for the body. Not only have my injuries almost recovered, but my voice has also improved." She sat astride him, her soft arms wrapped around his neck, and she couldn't help but kissed his handsome face, "Thank you! Lan Cang!"
Lan Cang's face flushed instantly. It was the first time he heard her speak, and it was just as he imagined... beautiful, sweet and soft, and as clear and gentle as a bird, which softened his heart.
For a moment, the ecstatic mood needed to be resolved with action. He pulled one of her arms and lowered his head to kiss her. Sang Luo suddenly frowned and made a "hiss" sound. Lan Cang hurriedly stopped and tore open her clothes. Half of her chest was wrapped with several circles of bandages, and blood was faintly oozing from the bandages.
The pull he just made opened her wound again.
"I'm sorry, Luoluo, you're hurt." He pursed his lips and said sadly, "...I hurt you."
It's not a question, it's an affirmative sentence.
He had no memory of his manic episode, but these claw marks were clearly left by his beastly form. Lan Cang's voice trembled, a mixture of joy and sorrow. "You, came to find me?"
"Um."
"I'm sorry." He said again, feeling extremely distressed, and slapped himself.
"Hey! It took me a long time to bring you back. You finally woke up, but don't belittle yourself anymore. Stay home and recuperate these few days." Sang Luo grabbed his hand and scolded him, "If you really feel sorry for me, then as a punishment, you must tell me everything you encountered during the patrol. What exactly happened at that time? Why did you suddenly have a manic attack?"
"...an accident." Lan Cang frowned.
He took two orcs to patrol Xilin. The terrain there was very steep. Generally speaking, star beasts would not roam in that area. Even if some star beasts lived in Xilin, most of them were low-level star beasts. Any high-level star beasts with a little intelligence would choose the extremely concealed waterway in Donglin and attack the tribe in the middle of the night.
So he brought very few people with him, but to everyone's surprise, a sixth-level star beast appeared in Xilin!
The sixth-level star beast is considered a local tyrant in this area. Lan Cang was not afraid of the sixth-level star beast in the past, but now his strength has declined. Even if his strength has recovered in recent days, it is still capped at the fifth level. If this sixth-level star beast runs out, it will endanger the tribe in the first time. He immediately protected the two orcs and went out to inform them, and fought with the star beast.
Battles and blood can greatly induce the manic genes in orcs.
The degree of mania induction is directly proportional to talent.
This is what happened next.
If he had brought a few more orcs with him, he might have been able to fight, but Tu Zhu only sent him two orcs. However, no one would have anticipated this situation in advance, so no matter how you look at it, it was just an accident.
Sang Luo had a hunch that things weren't that simple, it was too much of a coincidence, but fortunately Lan Cang woke up, so she didn't think about it anymore.
"By the way, Luoluo, open your mouth. I'll feed you this."
Before Sang Luo could see clearly what he took out of his arms, he stuffed the cold and hard object into her mouth. Then, the stone turned into a familiar warm current that melted into her limbs and bones, making her body warm and comfortable.
The wound on his chest also healed completely, and even the scab was no longer visible.
She opened her eyes wide. It was the sixth-level crystal core.
"You killed that sixth-rank star beast!" Sang Luo raised his voice and shook his head. "What a waste! It should be given to you to eat. It's useless to give it to me."
Although she felt comfortable after absorbing the crystal core, she had just tried to check the faint trace of mysterious power within her body, but nothing had changed. As expected, females weren't suited to cultivation. She was just born useless.
"The crystal core can enhance your physical fitness. If it's good for your body, then it will be useful." He rubbed her head.
Compared to the peaceful days in the house, the Kordo tribe has not been very peaceful these days, especially since there have been constant sounds of smashing coming from Manla's house. She can no longer tolerate it and she must find a way to drive that weak woman out of the tribe!
Although Manla was jealous of Sang Luo being favored by Lan Cang, Lan Cang had fallen to a low level and became a disabled person after all. Even though she liked him, her desire to accept him was far less strong than before. She also didn't want to make a big fuss for that weak woman and hurt her face. Since she couldn't teach him a lesson, she had to give up.
But now it’s different, Lan Cang killed a sixth-level star beast!
His strength is back!
She would never give up such a powerful beast.
That weak female cannot be kept!
Sang Luo went to the witch doctor to pay for the medicine she had taken for the past few days. Manla took the opportunity to bring people to surround her in an empty corner.
"I have one last piece of advice for you. Leave the Koldo tribe immediately. I can even give you some money for your journey and ensure that you will have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life somewhere else. If you still dare to stay in the tribe and pester Lan Cang, don't blame me for making sure you don't see the sun tomorrow."
Sang Luo just stared at her coldly without saying anything.
The female was obviously jealous of her. She didn't expect that even though she was so low-key, she would still arouse others' jealousy. Fortunately, she would leave here soon, otherwise she would be regarded as an imaginary rival by a jealous female all day long. She was worried that her food would be poisoned one day.
Sang Luo decided to continue pretending to be dumb, for he was also afraid that the Kordo tribe would force him to stay in the future. After all, the attractiveness and importance of a healthy and high-quality female to the tribe are even far greater than those of high-level orcs.
"Why are you staring at me so eagerly? Don't you understand what I'm saying? Haha, you're not dumb, are you? Or is there something wrong with your brain?"
As Manla was about to step forward and do something, she was suddenly hit by a huge force. "Ah!" She was thrown several meters away and her head hit the wall hard, causing bleeding.
Seeing that Sang Luo had not returned for such a long time, Lan Cang went out to look for her, but unexpectedly he saw this scene.
He immediately protected Sang Luo behind him and looked coldly at Manla who had gotten up from the ground and the two bewildered orcs behind her, "What do you want to do?"
"Lancang... I, no, I didn't do anything to her, I, I just wanted to say a few words to her..." Manla covered her head, panicked. She didn't want to leave a bad impression on him.
"You were going to push her just now."
He is not blind.
Seeing that the truth had been exposed and could no longer be concealed, Manla's expression changed. She said viciously, "I'm doing this for your own good. Now that you've recovered your strength, there's no need to be tied to this crippled, weak female. You can choose a better female, like me! I have superior fertility and can give birth to the best offspring for you. I can even help you become the clan leader. This crippled, weak female can't help you at all and can't even give birth. Don't let her hold you back!"
Lan Cang's face was almost cold. If the person in front of him was not a female, he would have wanted to kill her long ago!
The two orcs hurriedly grabbed the emotional Manla, trying to stop her from talking. Didn't they see the vicious look in Lan Cang's eyes? They believed him when he said he wanted to kill people to silence them! Now that Lan Cang's strength has recovered, the two of them can't beat him!
"Unless she goes with me to the female stone for identification and can prove her fertility, she can't stay in the Koldo tribe anymore!"
Sang Luo tightly grasped his hand. The coldness on Lan Cang's face faded a little, and he still looked gentle towards her. "What's wrong?"
Seeing her frowning, her face pale, a thin layer of sweat oozing from her forehead, and gently rubbing her thighs together, Lan Cang thought she was frightened and was about to comfort her,
Suddenly, she whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Lan Cang, I... let's go back. I feel a little uncomfortable..."
