Chapter 459
Whether in the original novel or during the time he traveled through time, Yu Sui had heard of Xima a long time ago, and had imagined what she looked like in his mind. Was she a capable and neat female like Vanilla, or a charming but powerful female like the black werewolf Manlin? He had long been curious.
But when he actually saw it, Yu Sui found that his imagination was still too weak.
The entire capital was decorated in the rough orc style, and the palace was no exception. Inside the spacious hall, there was a tall chair covered with fine beast fur. Sitting on the chair was a tall female with honey-colored skin and a scar running through her entire face. She looked very serious.
How can I put it? No matter how I look at the other person, he seems very familiar. After thinking for a moment, Yu Sui finally understood where the familiarity came from. Why is this scene somewhat similar to those mountain kings in TV dramas!
More than ten minutes have passed since they were summoned in. Shima above has remained silent, with her eyes lowered, wondering what she was thinking. Dahua and Bai stood beside her, and there were no other orcs in sight.
She didn't say anything, and Yu Sui and others just waited there. After all, finding one's own flesh and blood was no small matter no matter how you looked at it. The impact was probably quite great, so it was normal for people to not be able to react.
Yu Sui took advantage of Xima's distraction and took a closer look at the other's appearance. Xiaochu actually looked quite similar to his mother, but Xima had gone through countless wars and had scars on his face, making him look more cold and mature.
He turned his head and looked at Xiaochu's expression. Although Xiaochu had lived a life of ease and comfort for so many years, he was always concerned about the news of his biological parents in his heart, but he was unwilling to say it out of fear of adding to Yu Sui's troubles.
Although Xiaochu seemed very calm standing there, his trembling eyelashes and slightly rapid breathing had already betrayed his inner nervousness. Yu Sui sighed in his heart and reached out to hold his brother's hand.
Xiaochu held the warm and powerful hand tightly, and the uneasiness in his heart slowly subsided.
"Xiaochu, your name is Xiaochu, right?"
Finally, Xima, who was sitting on the throne, said in a hoarse voice. Without waiting for Xiaochu to answer, she stood up and slowly walked down.
Xiaochu's breathing became rapid again. He didn't know why. He had been thinking about his biological mother for a long time, but when he really saw his biological mother face to face, he panicked. If his brother hadn't been there, he would have wanted to turn around and run away.
Xima walked up to Xiaochu. Yu Sui wanted to give the two of them some space to be alone, so he squeezed Xiaochu's hand comfortingly and then gently let go. He gave Qi and Lanluos a look, and the three of them walked to Dahua and Bai, looking quietly at the mother and son there.
Shima's expression didn't change, but if you looked closely you could see her hands trembling slightly.
She stood in front of Xiaochu, looking intently at the little golden lion in front of her, who was still a cub but had grown into a tall and handsome one. He looked so energetic and well-dressed, and it was obvious that he had been raised with great love.
Her eyes suddenly became moist. "I'm sorry, I abandoned you on the battlefield. I'm not worthy of being a mother."
Xiaochu didn't know what to say, but since mother and son are connected by heart, his heart began to ache and his eyes began to turn red.
"When I was pregnant with you, the war was not easy. When you were born, the elves counterattacked. The tribe took me away, but they didn't see you."
Shima's voice became even hoarser.
Back then, she led the warriors to fight against the elves for many days in a row. When she was about to give birth, she found a quiet place, but because of her injuries and the fact that she had consumed a lot of energy during the birth, she fainted. When she woke up, she was already on the way to retreat. She struggled desperately to run back to find her child, but she couldn't find him anywhere. The cub was so small that she once thought he would not survive.
The battlefield was littered with blood and corpses. The tribesmen probably didn't notice such a small creature when they hurriedly found her. The air around her was filled with the smell of blood, which completely covered up the scent of the cub.
She couldn't blame her tribesmen, but only her own carelessness. She hadn't had any more children in all these years. Whenever she saw a cub, her heart ached and she dared not look at it a second time.
Seema mustered up the courage to hold the cub in her arms, unable to hold back her tears.
Xiaochu hugged her back, feeling sad, "Mother."
Seeing this, Dahua and Yu Sui quietly retreated and returned to Dahua's residence, allowing the mother and son who had just met to talk alone.
…
After a moment of silence, Qi took the wine glass in front of Yu Sui and replaced it with a glass of juice. He then asked Dahua, "Have you noticed any difference over the years?"
Yu Sui also wondered, "Yeah, could it be that Xiaochu's father was also in that war..."
"We really don't know," Dahua said awkwardly. "The nature of the Golden Lions is different from ours. You should know that they generally respect females. But there's another point: Golden Lions rarely have fixed partners. Most females share one male. After they become pregnant and give birth to cubs, they usually raise them on their own."
Bai continued, "So we didn't even realize that Xima was pregnant. We don't know who she was with, or whether the male is still alive."
"Oh~" Yu Sui suddenly realized. It seemed that this was the case in nature. He didn't expect that the Golden Lion Tribe still retained this habit.
He suddenly felt a chill on his back. At this point, the Snow Wolf Clan's keen intuition had not failed him. He turned his head sharply and saw Lanlos staring at his back with shining eyes.
What is this guy thinking? What's that look in his eyes? Why does he feel like a piece of fat? Yu Sui moved a little.
After coming here, Lanluos had been sitting behind Yu Sui without saying a word. But now, contrary to his usual behavior, he walked over and asked Dahua questions sincerely.
"Is this only true for the Golden Lion Tribe? Does the Wolf Tribe have this tradition, but it's just been lost now..."
Dahua said embarrassedly, "You should ask the young leader about this. How would I, a member of the Tiger Clan, know this? I've never heard of any wolf clan doing this."
Looking at Lanluos's expression, Bai suddenly had an epiphany and finally understood why he always felt that the people around the young chief of the Black Map tribe were weird over the years.
The truth turned out to be this. He seemed to have discovered a shocking secret and looked at Yu Sui in awe. He was indeed a Snow Wolf Man who had been able to lead the Black Map Tribe to its current size as a cub! He was truly amazing and admirable!
Yu Sui didn't have the energy to look at him. He hurriedly hugged Qi, who stood up angrily with fire in his eyes and wanted to beat Lanluos up. He said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't have this habit! Stop thinking of anything bad!"
