She didn't even care that she was injured, and even told me to move into the stone house.
Such a wonderful thing had happened, and Hu Wei could hardly believe it.
"Go to your stone house? That might not be a good idea..."
He looked hesitant, but in his mind he had already imagined the scene of taking over the stone house a thousand times.
He could easily manipulate a female like Ying Liuer who lacked assertiveness and support. Once he moved in, he would be in complete control.
“There’s nothing wrong with that. Even if you can’t mate, I still want you to move in as soon as possible,” Ying Liuer said, looking down as if embarrassed.
Fox Wei's eyes were so swollen they were barely open, and Eagle Willow's lowered face showed an expression of near nausea.
His smile resembled that of a chrysanthemum covered in scars.
"Then, then I'll listen to you, Liu'er."
He rubbed his hands together, grinned, and was about to laugh when a bloody tooth fell out of his mouth.
He quickly covered his mouth to hide his embarrassment.
"Liu'er, don't worry, I will take good care of you from now on and I won't let any beastmen bully you. Trust me."
"Yes, I believe you."
Ying Liu'er helped Hu Wei walk towards the stone house, deliberately pinching the areas where he was seriously injured.
Fox Wei wanted to break free, but was afraid of angering her, so he had no choice but to endure it.
How come this female suddenly became so strong?
His arm was almost broken.
After enduring agonizing pain all the way, just when Fox Wei felt he was about to die from the pain, he finally arrived at the stone house.
"Liu'er, I can walk by myself now. You've worked hard. Come inside and warm up."
Fox Wei took the opportunity to distance himself from Eagle Willow and let her enter the stone house first.
Yingliu didn't argue with him and went into the house first. There was no one in the house, but coal was burning in the fireplace. As soon as she entered, she could feel the warmth of spring washing over her and spreading to her entire body.
Fox Wei felt that the pain all over his body had lessened considerably.
This was his first time entering the stone house, and he realized how warm it was inside.
The thought of living here from now on filled Hu Wei with excitement.
He closed the door and, as if returning to his own home, sat down on a chair covered with thick animal hide cushions and let out a long sigh.
"Liu'er, I remember that Atang's mother is a veterinarian. She has medicine. Could you get some for me to use?"
As soon as he sat down, Hu Wei started to have other ideas.
Seemingly afraid that Ying Liuer would misunderstand, he added, "I just want my injuries to heal quickly so that I can mate with you."
Ying Liuer cursed inwardly, but smiled and agreed.
"Of course, I happen to have some here. What's mine is yours, so don't be shy."
Upon hearing this, Hu Wei became even more smug.
This female is so easily fooled; she actually opened her heart to him so completely.
"However, Fox Wei, are you really sure you want to be my partner? You won't go back on your word?" Eagle Willow didn't leave, staring at him intently, as if wanting a firm answer.
"Of course not." Hu Wei replied without hesitation, even raising his hand again to swear, "I swear to the Beast God, I will never leave you in this lifetime."
"Whatever happened?"
"No matter what happens, it won't!"
Fox Wei's eyes were firm, his heart filled with excitement at moving into the stone house, completely unaware of the cunning glint in Eagle Willow's eyes.
She smiled contentedly.
"Liu'er, that medicine..." Fox Wei was about to urge Ying Liu'er to get the medicine, as he was in unbearable pain.
Before the words were finished, someone outside kicked the door open with a bang.
"Who are you? How dare you barge in? This is Liu'er's stone house." Fox Wei turned his head unhappily and saw five burly orcs walking in from outside.
The leading orc had a full beard and looked quite fierce.
Just as Hu Wei was about to stand up, his bottom seemed glued to the chair, and he sat back down, awkwardly shutting his mouth.
These males don't look like they're going to get you.
That bearded orc could have his brains smashed out with a single punch.
"Liu'er, who are they? Do you know them?" Fox Wei had no choice but to turn to Eagle Liu'er and ask.
Before Yingliu could speak, the bearded man slammed his fist into the table, cracking it, and demanded menacingly:
"Eagle Willow, when are you going to repay what you owe us?"
Ying Liu'er, "afraid," hid behind Hu Wei.
The bearded man's fierce gaze fell on Hu Wei, and he immediately had a bad feeling. He hurriedly asked:
"Everyone, what's going on? What does Liu'er owe you?"
"What do you owe? Of course, it's supplies. Not just anyone can live in this stone house. She borrowed coal from ten caves from us and handed it over before she was allowed to move in."
"You promised to return our coal as soon as the snow season arrives, Eagle Willow, you're not playing us for a fool, are you!"
Fox Wei's eyes widened. "Coal? Ten caves!"
The supplies in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain are stored in units of caves. One cave can hold about a thousand catties of coal, so ten caves would hold tens of thousands of catties of coal.
"Liu'er, did you trade all this coal for this stone house?" He turned to look at Ying Liu'er in disbelief. "Wasn't this a gift from the king's consort?"
He heard from the orcs of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain that Liu'er and Atang have a very good relationship!
Upon hearing this, the bearded man scoffed, "Exchange for a stone house? Are you dreaming? You're only getting the right to live there during the snow season. The stone house built by the king isn't something you can just move into casually."
"What?!" This time, Hu Wei's mouth was agape.
They used ten caves to build a stone house, only to receive three months' worth of living space in it?!
Wouldn't that mean that after this snow season, not only will Yingliu'er have no stone house to live in, but she'll also owe so much coal!
Fox Wei felt his head buzzing.
This female actually lied to him!
He jumped up, about to question Ying Liuer about why she had lied to him, but the bearded man spoke first, sounding impatient.
"Eagle Willow, when are you going to pay back the supplies you owe us? If you don't, don't blame us for being impolite!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the four burly orcs behind him stepped forward in unison.
The fierce and menacing expression made Hu Wei flinch. He was about to dodge when, unexpectedly, a hand pushed him out from between the two.
"I have no coal to repay you, but he is my mate, Hu Wei. Make him repay it! He can!"
Fox Wei stared in astonishment, then turned to glare at Eagle Willow.
It seemed that he hadn't expected Ying Liuer to push him out.
The two fierce-looking eyes turned to Hu Wei again.
He felt like he was being pricked by thorns, and he waved his hands and shook his head repeatedly, loudly explaining, "I'm not! Don't listen to her nonsense, I haven't mated with her yet, I'm not her partner, we have absolutely no relationship!"
The bearded man snorted coldly, his face full of disbelief. "If you're not her partner, why are you in the stone house?"
"I……"
"Fox Wei, you just said you would be with me for life, that you would be my partner no matter what happened. Are you lying to me?"
Ying Liuer didn't give him a chance to speak, looking at Hu Wei with a hurt expression.
