Li Ye nodded, somewhat admiringly, "Yeah. Ah Rao said that water may seem gentle, but it actually holds immense power. He can calm the water flow and use it as a drinking source, or condense it into sharp spikes and unleash a powerful water dragon. It's quite impressive!"
"One time we went hunting in the mountains and were besieged by several red-rank beasts. Ah Rao cast a water dragon, and it killed the beasts as it moved. It was so cool! But Ah Rao said it was too energy-consuming. We all have limited energy, so every time we use it, we should feel how much energy is left."
"Arao said that because we lack close combat strength, we shouldn't use up all our energy unless absolutely necessary."
Li Ye opened up and no longer needed Bai Yingying to guide him, and he started talking as usual.
Bai Yingying smiled and imitated his admiring tone and said, "Arao is really amazing."
Li Ye raised his chin proudly. "Of course. Ever since Ao transformed, although his strength was not low, his talent was not obvious. There have been gossips in the tribe. They all say that my grandmother gave birth to a monster at the cost of her life."
"Although he had Grandpa's protection, Ah Luo was still affected. He refused to accept his lack of talent. He trained hard, practicing hunting techniques and learning all kinds of knowledge. In addition, his beast form was large, and in every competition, he was no worse than the other younger generations in the tribe. This is how he intimidated them."
"It's just that Arao is so big and powerful, and although he fights very bravely, the females are unwilling to be his mate."
"However, after Arao's talent awakened, there were females of marriageable age in the Gray Elephant Tribe willing to take the risk, but Arao refused. He said that his talent was special, and he was even more afraid of giving birth to a special cub and endangering the female's life."
"Arao is really nice. Don't be fooled by his sour face and domineering behavior, but he has a soft heart. If you weren't a goddess who was sure you could give birth to an elephant cub, he wouldn't have married you."
Seeing that he wanted to continue talking about Xiang Rao's deeds, Bai Yingying quickly said when he was about to break off his sentence, "You've been talking about Xiang Rao all the time. What about you? You didn't show any talent when you were young, did you?"
Li Ye sighed upon hearing this, "I'm different. I'm lazy to begin with, and I don't show any talent. Instead, I'm happy not having to train or study. My tribe members also pamper me, so even if there's some gossip outside, I don't care."
"But A'rao wouldn't let me be lazy, so he pulled me to find A'meng... to study..." When Li Ye said this, his face instantly became stiff.
He wanted to continue speaking, but when he thought of what Shi Meng said to him that day, he felt angry and embarrassed and couldn't open his mouth.
Bai Yingying didn't give him another chance to escape. "A Meng? Is that Shi Meng from the Yellow Lion Tribe? Today, Chief Shi brought him to discuss marriage with me. I've already promised them that when I meet A Rao..."
"No!" Li Ye immediately stood up and repeated in panic: "No! You can't be a partner with him!"
"Why?" Bai Yingying took his hand and asked gently, "Don't you like him?"
"No!" Li Ye quickly shook his head again, "No, no, I don't like him! I don't like him..."
He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and didn't know how to explain.
Bai Yingying smiled and gently stroked the back of his hand. "Don't be anxious. Let's talk slowly. Although we haven't performed the couple-bonding ceremony yet, I already consider you my partner. Don't treat me as an outsider."
"I treat you as a brother, but you want to sleep with me." She couldn't bring up such an embarrassing thing directly with Li Ye, for fear that Li Ye would run away in shame and anger.
He used chatting to ease Li Ye's emotions and guided Li Ye to bring it up on her own initiative, so that he could comfort Li Ye smoothly.
Relieve Li Ye’s heart knot.
Li Ye looked at Bai Yingying's gentle smile and slowly calmed down. He sat down again and kept taking deep breaths.
Bai Yingying didn't urge him and waited for him to prepare himself mentally.
She believed that it was very uncomfortable to keep such things in her heart, and as long as she tore a small hole in it, she could let it all out.
One minute later.
"A Meng said, he, he said he likes me and doesn't want me to be with you..."
Li Ye finally said what he had been struggling to say, and let out some of the anger that had been pent up in his heart.
Bai Yingying smiled playfully, "No wonder Ah Ye didn't come to see me these past two days. It's just a small matter, but it's not worth Ah Ye being anxious and upset for so many days. It's common for men and women to fall in love. If you don't like him, just ignore him. It's not a big deal."
Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief, "Aren't you angry?"
"Why should I be angry? You don't have that kind of affection for Shi Meng, right?"
"Um."
"That'll do."
Li Ye was still a little hesitant, "But. I don't want to see him now. If he also marries you..."
"Then don't marry him." Bai Yingying said decisively.
Li Ye was very surprised, "Really? Ah Meng is the strongest male among the young generation of the Yellow Lion Clan..."
"Of course it's true. Leave this matter to me, and you just wait to become my partner." Bai Yingying said with a smile.
Li Ye was delighted at first, but then he shook his head repeatedly, "Chief Shi will definitely not agree. If he makes a scene..."
He stood up again and said, "No, this is very troublesome. I have to go find Ah Rao and ask him to help me."
Bai Yingying quickly grabbed him and said, "Don't worry, Ah Ye. I can handle this. If you go find Ah Rao, how are you going to explain why you refuse to start a family with Shi Meng?"
The three of them grew up together and had a close relationship, so Li Ye refused Shi Meng's offer to join. Xiang Rao was so smart that a simple excuse wouldn't work.
