Jiang Li did not return to the bird tribe blatantly.
After all, there is still Yan He in the tribe who wants her dead.
According to her original memory, she flew through a hidden and remote path and directly arrived at the tree house where she and Aunt Mei once lived.
She landed on the side of the tree house, and after carefully checking that there was no one else around, she transformed into a human form, bent over, and carefully knocked on the door.
Jiang Li sighed helplessly in his heart.
What kind of fate is this for her? She has to sneak back to her own home.
Soon, Aunt Mei's voice was heard from the tree house.
"Who is it?"
Jiang Li didn't dare to answer, but raised his hand and knocked on the door again.
"Here I come."
Aunt Mei in the room responded and opened the door.
The originally irritable mood on his face suddenly froze the moment he opened the door.
"Xiao...Xiao Li..."
Aunt Mei's eyes widened and she shouted with trembling lips.
Jiang Li put his index finger on his lips and made a "hush" gesture to her.
"Aunt Mei, is there anyone else in the room?"
Only then did Aunt Mei come back to her senses and shook her head repeatedly, "No, no."
"Okay, let's go inside and talk."
Aunt Mei also knew that walls have ears, and was afraid that people in the clan would see Jiang Li, so she quickly dragged her into the house and tied the door with a stick just in case.
"Xiao Li, where have you been during this time?"
Jiang Li looked at Aunt Mei carefully.
She was thinner than before, her face looked sallow, and there was a dark circle under her eyes, as if she had not slept well, and her complexion looked a little ugly.
"Aunt Mei, how have you been recently? Have people in the clan given you any trouble?" Jiang Li quickly held Aunt Mei's hands, feeling a little worried.
She was afraid that after she left, Yanhe would take the opportunity to take revenge on Aunt Mei.
Aunt Mei tilted her head and sighed softly, "As for me, it's the same as before. After all, I'm an elder in the clan, who dares to bully me? I'm just worried about you every day. They all said you were dead, but I didn't believe it, so I stayed at home every day waiting for you to come back."
When she said this, Aunt Mei's eyes turned slightly red and tears filled her eyes.
"Fortunately, I waited for you. Tell me quickly, what happened to you? Why didn't you come back?"
Jiang Li finally felt relieved when he heard that Aunt Mei was not being bullied in the clan.
"Aunt Mei, don't mention it..." Jiang Li frowned slightly and described to her how Yanhe threw her into the Sana River and all the energy he had spent during this period.
After hearing this, Aunt Mei was surprised at first, and then showed a guilty look.
"Why did Princess Yanhe do this? My child, you have suffered so much during this period of time. It is because of my uselessness. Otherwise, how could I let you suffer so much? It is because I failed to protect you well."
Aunt Mei lowered her head and wiped the tears from her eyes with her hands.
Seeing that Aunt Mei was full of self-blame, Jiang Li quickly spoke to comfort her.
"Aunt Mei, this has nothing to do with you. It's my fault too. If I hadn't made a fuss at the time, Yan He probably wouldn't have targeted me."
Aunt Mei shook her head slightly and whispered something inexplicable, "No, this is a matter of time."
"Auntie Mei, what does this mean?" Jiang Li asked.
Aunt Mei shook her head again, "It's okay. Well, let's not talk about these sad things. As long as you are safe, it's good. So what about you now? Where do you live now? Is it safe? Or go back to live with the bird tribe? Don't worry, as long as you come back, Aunt Mei will definitely protect you this time."
"Aunt Mei, I am in the White Fox Clan now. It is relatively safe for now."
"White Fox Tribe? How did you get there?" Aunt Mei opened her mouth slightly, as if she had thought of something, and hurriedly continued, "Xiao Li, you don't know that since you disappeared, orcs from other tribes have often come to the tribe to look for you. They also know that you are the one that the witch god has deduced to save the royal bloodline."
"Well, I already know this."
"Xiao Li, come back. I promised your mother to protect you and not let you be in any danger." Aunt Mei held Jiang Li's hand tightly.
"No, Aunt Mei, my child is still in the White Fox Clan. I can't leave for the time being."
Aunt Mei was even more surprised when she heard this.
"Child?!" Aunt Mei's hands were shaking, and her arms began to tremble as well.
Although Aunt Mei had many doubts in her mind, she chose not to ask.
After all, here, many females younger than Jiang Li have already given birth to several male children.
She was afraid that asking would touch Jiang Li's sore spot.
Finally, Aunt Mei asked gently, "What is the status of that male in the White Fox Clan? Is he good to you?"
Jiang Li thought about it and felt that Aunt Mei should be talking about Jiang Ze.
"His name is Jiang Ze, and he is the prince of the White Fox Clan."
Aunt Mei was even more stunned when she heard this.
She had heard of Jiang Ze's name.
At a young age, he helped the White Fox King to take care of the tribe's affairs. Rumor has it that he is not good at speaking and is ruthless. None of the criminals in his hands have a good ending.
Would a male like this really be good to her little Li?
Jiang Li didn't know that Aunt Mei was already frightened after hearing Jiang Ze's name.
She looked up and thought carefully about what Jiang Ze had done to the three of them, mother and son.
"Well... it's okay. At least I have food to eat, drink and a place to live." Apart from being a little petty and having a changeable temper, he's fine in every other way and he's never made things difficult for her.
After saying this, Jiang Li nodded in agreement.
After hearing what Jiang Li said, Aunt Mei's tense nerves slowly relaxed.
Looking at Jiang Li's heartless look, she couldn't help laughing and reached out to look at Jiang Li's forehead out of habit.
"You, really!"
With her careless personality, she can easily be taken advantage of and cheated.
"I've told you so many times, think twice before doing anything, don't just look at the surface..."
"I understand, Aunt Mei, I've always remembered it." Jiang Li grinned and smiled at her.
She let go of Aunt Mei's hand and held her arm affectionately.
"Aunt Mei, besides coming to see you, I also came here for one more thing. I want to take you away from here."
There are many uncertainties in the bird tribe. She is afraid that Yanhe will know that she is still alive and threaten her with Aunt Mei.
Aunt Mei also knew that she was worried about her. Although she didn't want to leave the bird tribe, she was not in a hurry to reject her.
"Where are we going after leaving the Bird Tribe? Are we going to the White Fox Tribe?"
Jiang Li nodded.
"Xiao Li, is the White Fox Tribe really safe?" She was also afraid that Jiang Li would be deceived.
Thinking of Jiang Ze's promise to her, Jiang Li nodded again.
After all, she is also the mother of his child.
No matter what, there is still this layer of relationship between us.
He is the prince of the White Fox clan after all. He can't be so petty as to implicate her family just because she raped him, right?
