Chapter 58 Otherwise I'll run away and not help you anymore.
Yuanyuan, holding the little wolf, suddenly remembered something and looked around: "Where's the little snake? The little snake is gone too!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a small, emerald-green snake slowly crawled out of a sand pile not far away and flicked its tongue in Yuanyuan's direction.
"Little snake!" Yuanyuan's eyes lit up. She quickly squatted down and reached out her hand. The little snake coiled around her fingers, and the cool touch drove away a lot of the heat.
The little snake crawled all the way to the top of her head and coiled into a circle, its head held high as it warily looked at the orcs.
Yuanyuan, holding the wolf cub, looked up at Mo Jiu and said in a cute but fierce tone, "Thank you, I will take good care of them from now on."
Mo Jiu clicked his tongue. "Are you relieved now?"
Yuanyuan shook her head, her eyes still red, her nose twitching, and she hugged the little wolf's arm even tighter.
I can't feel at ease!
Her little voice was puffed out and a little aggrieved, "You people from your tribe are all so mean. Those orcs just tried to eat my little wolf."
If she had arrived even a little later, the little wolf would have been roasted and eaten.
She became more and more excited as she spoke, pointing with her little finger to a few orcs trying to sneak away not far away.
Her voice rose a little higher: "And you were carrying me around and scaring me before, that wasn't nice at all."
Mo Jiu frowned, looking down at her puffed-up appearance, glancing at the clansmen who dared not look him in the eye, his voice cold and deep.
"They didn't know it was your pet. There's little prey in the sand, and wolf cubs are rare. They were just starving."
"Even if I'm hungry, I won't eat my little wolf!"
Yuanyuan retorted, her little neck stiff, tears welling up in her eyes again, "The little wolf is my good friend, not prey!"
And you're just trying to scare me!
The first time I met you, you looked so fierce and even said you wanted to eat me!
The little wolf snuggled against her, making soft whimpering sounds, while the little snake crawled down her head and gently nuzzled her cheek with its head.
Looking at the intimate interaction between the two beasts and the human, Mo Jiu began to understand.
His Adam's apple bobbed, but he didn't know how to explain it.
Having never coaxed anyone before, he didn't know how.
After a moment of silence, he reached out, hesitated for a moment, and gently patted her shoulder, his movements clumsy and stiff.
"With me around, no one will dare touch your things."
"real?"
Yuanyuan blinked her wet eyes and looked at him with some suspicion.
"Mm." Mo Jiu nodded, his voice still flat. "It's my tribe, and I call the shots."
He turned his head, coldly sweeping his gaze over the clansmen present, his eyes sharp, "If this happens again, you will bear the consequences."
The orcs were so frightened that they immediately lowered their heads. The three orcs who had just roasted the wolf cubs didn't dare to breathe and kept nodding and bowing.
"I wouldn't dare, Chief, I'd never dare again!"
"Find a way to apologize yourselves. If you can't get forgiveness, then you can't stay in the tribe."
The orcs' faces paled, but they nodded repeatedly. "Our leader, we will definitely apologize properly and try to win the little female's forgiveness."
Seeing this, Yuanyuan felt a little less scared, but she was still a little uneasy. "Then you can't scare me anymore, or else..."
"Otherwise, I'll just take the little wolf and snake and run away, and I won't help you anymore!"
Mo Jiu looked at her fierce but cowardly appearance, and the corner of his mouth curled up almost imperceptibly, so quickly that one might think it was an illusion.
He didn't say anything, but bent down and picked her up again along with the little wolf in his arms. "Hmm, if you dare to run away, I'll break your legs."
"Gurgle—gurgle—"
No one around made a sound, but the growling of his stomach was particularly noticeable.
Yuanyuan subconsciously touched her lower abdomen; it was soft and not too flat.
"Gurgle~"
It wasn't her own stomach growling. Looking down, she saw the little wolf shrinking shyly into her arms, nuzzling its head against her chest.
Her round eyes were wet, and she made soft sobs.
"Oh, is the little wolf hungry?"
Yuanyuan tenderly rubbed its belly, and was about to get down from Mojiu's arms to find a place to get it some food.
"Don't move." Mo Jiu pressed down on her shoulder.
He turned to his tribesmen not far away and gestured with his chin, "Bring over some dried meat, sweet berries, and fresh water."
The tribesman next to him was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied, "Yes, Chief!" and turned to run towards the place where the tribe stored food.
Ignoring the astonishment of his clansmen, Mo Jiu glanced at the clansmen gathered not far away, still secretly observing them, and raised his voice a few decibels so that everyone could hear him clearly: "She is my daughter Yuanyuan. From now on, her words are equivalent to my words. Anyone who dares to disrespect her will be dealt with according to the clan rules."
"!!!"
"!!!???"
The tribespeople instantly erupted in chaos, their eyes wide as they exchanged glances, yet none dared to refute them.
Why is the leader so interested in this little female?
Several females who had secretly followed looked rather grim. The leader actually had a daughter?
How come I've never heard of this before?
They were thinking of taking over the chief and ruling the tribe, but someone beat them to it. How could they not be angry?
Who exactly managed to subdue their hard-hearted leader?
"He doesn't look like the chief's son at all. He's fair-skinned and delicate, and he's completely different from us."
"The clothes she was wearing were also very strange; I've never seen this kind of fabric before."
"I haven't seen it at the trade fair either."
"Do you think she might be from a large tribe?"
When the topic of large tribes came up, several of the females looked on with longing.
That was a tribe they could never break into in their entire lives.
Yuanyuan was also stunned, staring wide-eyed at Mo Jiu's profile, her little mouth opening and closing as she whispered a protest:
"I'm not your daughter."
Mo Jiu glanced down at her, then picked her up and strode towards the tribe.
...
Yuanyuan had barely sat down when the orcs brought over the food.
A large piece of shredded cooked jerky is the tenderest part, soft and easy to eat.
There were also fresh fruits, yellowish-red in color, that looked sweet.
Mo Jiu handed the food to her.
"Eat!"
Yuanyuan first picked up a fresh piece of meat, placed it on a leaf, and moved it in front of the little wolf.
The little wolf immediately began to wolf down the food.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
The little snake slid off her body, crawled to the food, and flicked its tongue at her.
Yuanyuan took out a military folding knife, chopped up the meat, and put it aside for the little wolf.
While feeding the two little ones, Yuanyuan secretly glanced at Mo Jiu.
He sat on the wooden post next to her, staring intently at the folding knife in her hand, without saying a word.
Yuanyuan put the knife away, stopped looking at him, and focused on feeding the two little ones.
The little wolf ate very quickly. Yuanyuan was afraid it would choke, so she would pat its back from time to time and whisper, "Eat slowly, there's still a lot left."
"Awoo!"
Seeing that they had almost finished eating, he then continued eating.
I'm feeling a bit sleepy after eating and drinking my fill.
But she still needed to find herbs, this time a drought-resistant sapling that grows in the desert.
The tree trunk secretes a sticky resin. The system says that people used to make ointments from the resin and apply them to bumps, bruises, and inflamed wounds.
It can relieve pain and speed up healing, and can also be used as a spice. In the past, it was an extremely precious healing artifact.
However, the modern world has been extinct.
