Chapter 362 Jiang Xuan's First Kiss
In the stilt house, Jiang Xuan and Qing Ye sat down beside the familiar fire pit.
It was already night, and the noisy voices outside gradually died down, leaving only the sounds of unknown birds, insects, flowing water, and the rustling of leaves in the wind.
In the fire pit, the flames kept jumping, just like the heartbeats of the two people, restless.
Qingye said softly: "Chief Xuan, other places are full, why don't you stay at my place tonight?"
Qingye thought about it, and immediately added: "It's cleaner here."
Afterwards, Qingye looked at Jiang Xuan with a little nervousness and expectation, hoping that he would give a clear answer.
Jiang Xuan has lived two lives, and even if he is slow in emotions, at this moment he can clearly feel Qingye's feelings and the answer she expects.
In fact, Qingye had already revealed his feelings when they met last time, but Jiang Xuan chose to escape.
This time, is he going to run away directly like last time? Jiang Xuan thought about it carefully, and did not answer Qingye's question directly, but first told her about his situation.
"Qingye, I came to the central region this time not to trade, but to bring the warriors of the tribe to open up new land. There are big problems with the environment and climate in the north. For the future development of the tribe, we must occupy a piece of land in the central region that belongs to the Teng tribe."
"But there are so many tribes in the central region, and almost all the good places are occupied. Even if we find a remote place to settle down, we will inevitably have conflicts of interest with nearby tribes in the future."
Jiang Xuan glanced at Qing Ye and said, "It's the same with the Crocodile Tribe. The Crocodile Tribe and the Vine Tribe have a good relationship now because there is no conflict of interest between them. Once a conflict of interest arises, it will be hard to say. When that time comes, what should we do?"
"So, I can't be responsible for you, and I can't give you a future..."
As Qingye listened to Jiang Xuan's words, his brows gradually frowned and his breathing became rapid.
Before Jiang Xuan came to a final conclusion, Qing Ye decisively interrupted him: "I don't want to hear this. I just want to ask you one question: do you like me? If you say you don't like me, I will open the door and let you go immediately."
After saying that, Qingye stared at Jiang Xuan's face, afraid to miss any subtle expression.
"I……"
Jiang Xuan looked at Qingye, opened his mouth, and found that he couldn't say the three words "dislike" no matter what.
Qingye suddenly smiled, and her smile was like a pebble thrown into the water, starting from her eyes and spreading to her whole body little by little.
She didn't say anything, just turned around, hugged Jiang Xuan with lightning speed, and then decisively blocked his mouth.
When the warm and moist lips collided, Jiang Xuan's eyes widened. His usually agile brain became dull at this moment, and his hands and feet could not find a suitable place to put them.
He could never have imagined that his first kiss would come so unexpectedly.
Only when both of them were having trouble breathing did Qingye open his mouth and said with a flushed face, "I don't want you to be responsible, nor do I want any future. The warriors of the tribe have no control over their own life and death. No one knows whether they will be able to come back after the next hunt or battle."
Qingye hugged Jiang Xuan's neck tenderly and said softly: "I only want you... now."
After Qingye finished speaking, he clumsily unbuttoned Jiang Xuan's fur coat with his hands.
Qingye has already said so much, and Jiang Xuan is at the age of full of vigor and vitality, how can he bear it?
He immediately stood up, picked up Qingye by the waist, and strode towards the bed covered with animal skins.
Qingye first exclaimed, then lowered her head shyly, curled up in Jiang Xuan's arms like a little bird, feeling the warmth of his body and listening to his strong heartbeat.
It was a wonderful feeling, Qingye felt like he was falling into the clouds, and the whole person was in a state of excitement and tension.
Soon, the two reached the bed, Qingye was gently put down, and Jiang Xuan took off the animal skin coat on his upper body in a few seconds, revealing his strong chest.
In the light of the fire, the two people's shadows quickly entangled on the wall, passionately and crazily.
However, just when their relationship was about to take a step further, Jiang Xuan suddenly felt a warning sign in his heart. He stood up suddenly, and his five senses became sharp again.
"What's wrong?"
Qingye sat up in confusion, not understanding why Jiang Xuan stopped at this time.
Jiang Xuan sniffed the air around him and said, "Do you smell a strange burning smell?"
Qingye was even more confused: "The fire in the fire pit is always burning, so it's normal to have a burning smell, right?"
Jiang Xuan shook his head and listened for a while: "No, the smell coming from the fire pit is different from this smell. I also heard the sound of wood cracking."
"It seems a little unusual."
Qingye is also a warrior, and an excellent one. After Jiang Xuan's reminder, she also heard some abnormal noises.
The two of them quickly picked up their animal skins and put them on, planning to go outside to check.
"roar!"
At this moment, an angry roar of a beast came from outside. Although it was not as loud as that of a beast that was good at roaring, the sound still clearly reached the stilt house.
Qingye said hurriedly: "Oh no, something happened, it was Xiaoqing's cry!"
Xiaoqing is the big crocodile that Qingye raised and is also her closest companion.
Jiang Xuan and Qingye immediately picked up their weapons and prepared to go outside to see the situation.
"call out……"
As Jiang Xuan opened the door, an arrow shot towards him like lightning, aiming at his throat.
Jiang Xuan is a powerful seven-color warrior whose premonition of danger and ability to avoid it far exceed that of ordinary warriors.
When the arrow was just shot, he pulled Qingye to the side with one hand and barely avoided the arrow.
However, although he dodged the arrow, Jiang Xuan's nervousness did not diminish at all.
His first thought was that the Crocodile Tribe wanted to kill him.
This is the heart of the Crocodile Tribe's residential area, where almost all of the Crocodile Tribe's best warriors gather, and there's also the Crocodile God guarding it. If the Crocodile Tribe really wants to kill him, it would probably be difficult for him to escape.
“The house is on fire!”
At this moment, Qingye cried out in surprise and saw a flame rushing up and engulfing the vine ladder leading downstairs.
Afterwards, Jiang Xuan saw flames spreading from all directions at a very fast speed.
The stilt house is almost entirely made of wood. Because of the roof, the wood inside is very dry. Once a fire occurs, the fire spreads very quickly.
At this time, staying in the house is waiting for death, and we must escape from this stilt house as soon as possible.
Jiang Xuan didn't hesitate at all. He ran back into the house, grabbed the large animal skin used as a bed mat, and wrapped himself and Qingye in it.
Someone was shooting an arrow from the gate, and he didn't dare to bet whether he would be shot into a hedgehog in the air. Jiang Xuan chose a window farthest from the gate, and first used his eyes with night vision to observe the situation outside. He would jump if he saw nothing unusual.
"roar!"
At this moment, another roar of a beast was heard in the crocodile tribe, but this roar was so terrifying, like thunder, waking up everyone in the crocodile tribe.
“Clatter…”
An extremely huge crocodile appeared in a lake in the center of the crocodile tribe. It flew high into the sky on the waves, then opened its mouth and sprayed a column of water onto the burning stilt house.
It was afraid that the impact of the water column would be too strong, so after getting close to the stilt house, it controlled the water column to turn it into raindrops all over the sky, and a heavy rain fell directly on the stilt house.
"Crocodile God, it's the Crocodile God who has come to save us!"
Qingye shouted excitedly, and Jiang Xuan looked at the huge crocodile, and his nervous mood eased a little.
Since the Crocodile God is willing to rescue them, it means that it is not the entire crocodile tribe that wants to kill him.
As long as the entire tribe did not want to kill him, Jiang Xuan's situation would not be particularly dangerous, because the leader and witch of the crocodile tribe would definitely be more anxious than him.
If Jiang Xuan died here, the Vine Tribe and the Crocodile Tribe would definitely go to war, and the tragic consequences would definitely not be something they could bear.
Since it wasn't the Crocodile Tribe that wanted to kill him, then who shot the arrow and who set the fire?
While Jiang Xuan was holding up the animal skin to shield Qingye from the rain, he frowned and thought about the people who might be hostile to him and had the opportunity to attack him.
The noise tonight was so loud that even the Crocodile God was alarmed. Soon, the entire Crocodile Tribe became noisy. Countless Crocodile Tribe members and Vine Tribe warriors ran out and asked each other what had happened.
When the leader and witch of the crocodile tribe learned what had happened, they were immediately frightened and broke out in cold sweats. If anything happened to Jiang Xuan, the consequences would be unbearable for them.
