Thump!
"Ouch~" It hurts~
Pei Jingnian feigned weakness without the slightest shame; after all, if a marshal could do it, why couldn't he?
The cat's tail, which had been hanging naturally down its chest, began to stir restlessly. Just as it was about to begin its cleaning work, a fair and well-proportioned hand firmly grasped the tail, successfully stopping its movement.
After firmly grasping the unruly cat's tail, Alina gently stroked the fox's smooth fur.
"Okay, okay, it doesn't hurt anymore."
I was going to pat my head, but unfortunately, my height is a major disadvantage.
At this moment, Alina suddenly felt a strange anticipation for her future flower fairy form, as she had never experienced the feeling of flying on her own.
No matter how high you jump, you can't fly.
Magic can certainly make you fly, but it has to be wind-based.
The back of his fair, jade-like hand was so striking against the backdrop of the fiery red fox fur. The latter half of the tail, held in the other's palm, curled up involuntarily. Chu Yanbing felt a deep sense of unease: a miscalculation.
When Chu Yanbing was unhappy, Pei Jingnian was happy.
Feeling emboldened by Alina's support, the fox strode confidently to Alina's side, his head held high, completely unaffected by the dissipating spiritual energy field.
Pei Jingnian, who had unexpectedly startled Alina, was already so enthusiastic, so Lu Jingbai and the others certainly wouldn't lag behind.
Even the best of both worlds can't fight against four opponents.
Alina felt as if she was surrounded by fur: as soon as one was "squeezed" aside, another immediately filled the "gap".
And so, in an exceptionally "lively" and "harmonious" atmosphere, the hunting competition, in which the beastmen's chance to pursue love was staked, officially began!
Alina had just finished breakfast when she received the task card from the robot.
The gist is: There's a hunting competition today, with three types of lifelike animals as prey. Based on size, they're worth 5, 10, and 20 points respectively, from smallest to largest. The orc with the most points before the deadline—4 PM—wins. The winning orc gets a customized holographic experience, the highlight being—an undisturbed world for two with their loved one.
Seeing words like "hunting" and "animals," Alina was excited, thinking she could earn a lot of points. The next second, her excitement was shattered by the word "simulation."
Then her attention was successfully drawn to the rewards of the holographic experience.
Upon seeing the reward, Alina immediately understood that her previous guess was correct. Her being here to take care of the furry creature was definitely deeply related to the holographic experience, the purpose of which she couldn't even fathom at the moment.
But she didn't continue speculating.
Whether it's the furry creature helping its owner woo a wife, or it's all just a joke, it's absurd.
When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it.
She just wanted to live each day to the fullest with the furry creatures, and worry about the future later. No matter what, she was determined to protect her little cutie. Even if it meant using magic to secretly meet with her little cutie behind its owner's back, she wouldn't give up!
"Phew~"
Alina raised her hand to wipe the thin layer of sweat from her face, thinking: Finally, I can breathe a little better. It's so hot.
Along the way, before the hunting competition officially began, the six furry creatures covered her up like six large leather blankets, making Alina feel hot all over.
Aren't you going to try and win the game?
As soon as the robot announced "The race begins," all the fluffy fur around her scurried away like a whirlwind, leaving only the little cutie standing still, seemingly nestled on her neck.
Alina's words were clearly directed at Chu Yanbing.
Alina's neck, which rarely sweats, was now covered in a thin layer of perspiration under the furry onslaught. The sweat successfully stuck the kitten's long fur to the surface, making it look like a decoration. Alina really wanted to breathe freely; this little cutie truly looked like a mini oven!
"Meow." I'll go in a bit.
He wanted to have Alina all to himself for a little longer.
Chu Yanbing would never let go of the first place winner of this hunting competition.
He had already heard Alina's confession to him. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, after the day they held hands, their relationship would be officially recognized.
To ensure absolute success, he would use various methods to drive away any orcs who tried to approach Alina during this period.
"If we don't leave now, they might get ahead of us."
As she spoke, Alina lifted the little cutie off her shoulder.
Phew~ It's cool now~
As soon as the cat charm left her neck, Alina had the illusion that it had come back to life.
Chu Yanbing, who was hugged and put on the ground: "..."
"Meow."
Okay, I'll go right now.
Chu Yanbing, with his long and thick hair, only noticed Alina's sweaty state a few beats later due to the change in perspective, and responded with a reluctant tone.
Just when Alina thought the little cutie was going to fight for its owner, its long, snow-white tail wrapped around her ankle like an anklet, and with that force, it carried her to a large, clean-looking rock.
A gentle breeze made the bluish-white stones cleaner than the stones in other places. A long, feather-dusty tail swept back and forth across the stones, its meaning clear:
"Meow."
It's cool here.
"Meow."
Sit here quietly and don't run around.
The kitten's chubby face looked unusually serious as it earnestly gave its instructions.
"Okay, okay."
She's just sitting here and not moving, right? With such a cute little kitten meowing and urging her, how could she possibly disobey?
...
She might indeed be disobedient.
The cool water splashed and slid down my fingertips, making it seem as if a few small ripples were blooming on the emerald green lake.
Feeling the cool sensation coming from her hands, Alina smiled, her eyes crinkling with delight, quite pleased with her decision.
Two minutes after the kitten left, Alina obediently sat upright on the bluestone. A gentle breeze blew through her neck and hair, barely cooling her down.
But after a while, she got bored and thought to herself: the temperature is dropping a bit too slowly.
Immediately, the elf's keen sense of smell and touch allowed her to detect a few scattered drops of moisture, and Alina was instantly drawn to them.
The gentle murmur of flowing water filled the air, and snow-white flowers dotted the picturesque turquoise lake. The entire space was tranquil and peaceful. Not only did Alina feel refreshed, but the viewers in the live stream also felt their weary minds and bodies cleansed.
So beautiful! I feel purified~
[I've seen my wife in the forest before, so why does this scene seem so exceptionally beautiful and captivating?]
[Perhaps there aren't any other naturally gifted players who could ruin the mood? [doge emoji]]
The surroundings were filled with the scent of nature, and apart from lacking the vitality of living beings, everything was not much different from the realm of elves.
Alina's homesickness was stirred up again, but she could only find solace here.
The restrictive sandals were taken off and placed neatly a short distance away.
With feet dipped into the cool, clear lake, the soft, invisible water splashed up in waves between her white, swaying calves, as if offering an invisible hymn to nature's darling.
The presence of the elves awakened this seemingly slumbering forest.
Inside the live stream, life was flowing naturally; outside, the audience was holding their breath in suspense.
Suddenly, an outsider wearing a fake fur coat broke the tranquility.
"Thump!"
It was the sound of a heavy object falling into the water.
Alina realized there was a strange wind behind her, but before she could check, she was suddenly struck on the back by a heavy, lifeless object.
As an elf, she was close to the water of nature;
But as a fire-type spirit, she doesn't know how to use water at all!
Help!
【Aaaaaah! Help! Help! Help!】
What is it?
Oh no! My wife fell into the water!
What are General Lu and the others doing?! Why did they bring these lifelike animals here? And they even knocked Linlin's wife into the water!
[I'm going to die!]
The comments section was filled with desperate cries for help; people were calling the police if they weren't running out of time!
Oh, no, most of the strongest soldiers in the entire empire are here.
"Gurgle...gurgle..."
Several large bubbles suddenly appeared on the surface of the water, surrounded by a dense ring of smaller bubbles.
The incident happened so suddenly that Alina, in her astonishment and surprise, momentarily forgot that she could regain her magic.
Her limbs thrashed about uncontrollably, and suddenly, she bumped into something, feeling a sharp pain in her calf. In the intense pain, she finally regained her sealed and suppressed magical instincts.
As the air in her chest dwindled, Alina felt her vision growing increasingly blurry in the quiet, lifeless lake.
Just as she decided to ignore the live stream and exchange cards to summon the fire dragon, she heard several dull, heavy thuds as objects fell into the water.
'Her rescuers have arrived?'
With that thought in mind, she immediately suppressed her survival instincts and tried her best to relax while suffocating, waiting for rescue.
However, at the same time, in his mind, the "Law Shielding Card" had been successfully exchanged, and he was only a thought away from using magic.
The animatronic animal that knocked Alina down was Lu Jingbai's prey, the largest kind. The reason it knocked her down was simply because it accidentally "bumped into" the largest prey that Mo Zhuxi had swatted away.
Upon impact, one flew east and the other west.
Alina happened to be on the eastern route.
The two were not exactly close to the lake, and Mo Zhuxi wasn't worried about people picking up the prey that it had knocked away, since it was probably already dead.
Where is Lu Jingbai?
He first killed one of his prey's "twin brothers".
If they hadn't sensed the presence of other orcs as they got closer, and hadn't been afraid of being picked off by others, the tiger and bear might have arrived much slower.
As soon as they arrived, they smelled a light yet sweet scent emanating from the water. Before the two could even start a fight or examine the lake water, they sensed someone in the water.
Instantly, their adrenaline surged and their hearts pounded. There were only a few people in the manor; besides Alina, who else would be drowned by a mere lake?
Not to mention that pair of nude pink sandals on the shore looked so familiar!
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
Two loud splashes rang out one after the other. Following the life force they sensed, the tiger and bear desperately ignored their desire to drink some lake water, and started moving forward at full speed with their tails and claws.
Near the bottom of the lake.
In the extremely blurry vision, a white shadow moved at an incredibly fast speed across my eyes.
Alina's heart, which had been pounding, suddenly relaxed. As she closed her eyes, which were red from the stings, she felt that the little cutie's figure was exceptionally tall.
Chu Yanbing, who had only come to pick up a bargain after hearing the noise, immediately spotted a lone sandal on the water's edge.
Immediately afterwards, a familiar scent wafted from the lake.
