Murong Yu looked at the boy's handsome features, his eyes filled with a mischievous smile, revealing a rare playfulness and liveliness. Murong Yu also smiled and nodded solemnly, saying, "Yes, happy."
He paused, then added, "We must protect A-Qing."
Upon hearing this, Mu Qing looked up at Murong Yu and saw the seriousness on his face and the deep affection in his eyes. Her heart began to beat rapidly and uncontrollably.
She quickly looked away and changed the subject, saying, "Ayu, Yaozhi said today that she's going back to Beast King City with Jiaoxiang and the others in three days, and asked if we want to come along. What do you think, Ayu?"
Upon hearing this, Murong Yu smiled gently and spoke in a deep, magnetic voice, his tone tender and affectionate: "I'll do whatever A-Qing says. Wherever A-Qing is, I'll be there."
Upon hearing this, Mu Qing's cheeks finally flushed uncontrollably, as red as the evening glow on the horizon.
The next day, Mu Qing went to Yao Zhi's courtyard and told her that he and Murong Yu would be going to the royal city with them in two days. Yao Zhi was overjoyed to hear this.
After leaving Yao Zhi's courtyard, Mu Qing called Murong Yu, who was waiting at the courtyard gate, and they went to Awakening Valley together.
He wanted to take a Dragon Awakening Grass with him and plant it in the dimensional space.
For some reason, he always had an inexplicable interest in the Dragon Awakening Grass here.
What Mu Qing didn't know was that Murong Yu cared even more about the Dragon Awakening Grass.
The two soon arrived at Dragon Awakening Valley.
Mu Qing used his energy to investigate and discovered that one of the Dragon Awakening Grasses was quite special.
There is a very special aura contained within it.
It seemed to be brimming with intense emotions, flowing with a touch of sadness yet also carrying a deep and unwavering affection, an obsession that was hard to let go.
Even Mu Qing, who had discovered it, couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness and an urge to shed tears.
While Mu Qing was lost in thought, Murong Yu, who was standing beside her, also sensed the emotional fluctuations emanating from the Dragon Awakening Grass. He suppressed his turbulent emotions, pointed at the Dragon Awakening Grass, and said, "Qing, let's transplant that one, okay?"
Mu Qing looked up and saw that the Dragon Awakening Grass that Murong Yu was pointing to was the very one whose aura he had just detected was unusual. He nodded and said, "Okay."
He then channeled his wood energy to transplant the Dragon Awakening Grass from the valley into the dimensional space.
After carefully planting it, Mu Qing got up and left the space, returning to the Mountain Stone Tribe with Murong Yu.
Two days later
Entrance to the Mountain Stone Tribe
Early that morning, Jiao Xiang, Bai Chen, and Shi Yan, along with the beastmen of the Jiao Clan, White Tiger Clan, and Fire Lion Clan, arrived at the entrance of the Mountain Stone Tribe to wait.
Last night, Rat Naonao and a group of fat rat beastmen found Rat Songsong and once again raised their desire to go to the royal city.
Rat-like beastmen then came over with the rat tribe and walked to the side of the white tiger tribe beastmen.
Bai Chen nodded kindly as the fat rat beastmen approached, without saying anything more.
He had just learned from Tu Ye that this year, the fat rat tribe's beastmen would be traveling to the royal city with them.
Lionflame glanced at the fat rat tribe beastmen with some surprise, but his gaze did not linger on them for long. Seeing this, the timid rat gradually calmed down.
Tu Ye and Tu Ta from the Shan Shi tribe arrived at the tribe's square early in the morning.
Tuta was somewhat downcast.
As Tu Ye was saying goodbye to Jiao Xiang and his group, he heard Tu Ta's low voice: "Father, Yu, are they really going to leave with the Dynasty's beastmen? Can... can they stay in our tribe and not leave?"
Tu Ye looked at Tu Ta, who was looking dejected, and patted him on the shoulder with his big hand, comforting him: "Kid, don't be so down. All good things must come to an end. You'll meet again in the future."
"And a month from now, we will also set off for the royal city."
At this point, Tu Ye couldn't help but feel a little worried. In a month, their Mountain Stone Tribe's totem warriors would set off for the royal city.
Because in three months, it will be the time when the insect beasts of the Cold Season will attack the tribe.
In previous years, every year at the end of January or the beginning of February during the cold season, insect beasts would come to the wild continent to attack the orcs on the continent.
