Chapter 100 Chasing
Qing Yan returned to the cave entrance. His eyes would occasionally look at Xia Yueke who was sleeping. Her rosy little face was so cute.
A smile of satisfaction and a hint of guilt appeared on Qingyan's face.
From now on, I must practice barbecue well and not let Yue go hungry again.
As he was thinking, he turned around and looked at Xia Yueke who was sleeping soundly.
The scarlet eyes were full of smiles.
......
"I've already told you that Qingyan has never harmed any orcs, so I won't help you deal with him!"
Qian Jingyao's face flushed red, veins popped on his forehead, he stood up suddenly, and the stone bench behind him fell to the ground with a clang.
The orcs around him were startled by his sudden action. The meeting cave suddenly became quiet, with only Qian Jingyao's angry breathing echoing.
His eyes were as sharp as torches as he swept over every orc present, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction and disappointment towards them.
Then he shook his silver hair and strode out of the cave with a heart full of anger.
Qian Jingyao was in a terrible mood. As he walked back quickly, he kept recalling the scene in the cave where they had just met.
The words of those orcs were so ridiculous that they wanted to deal with Qingyan based on some groundless speculations. This made Qian Jingyao extremely angry.
He knew that Qing Yan was not that kind of person, so he had to go back and ask Ke Ke what to do in this situation.
As he hurried to the front of the cave, an ominous premonition came over him.
As he stepped into the cave, the scene before him made his heart sink. The cave was empty and the silence was eerie.
The stone table that was originally neatly arranged now fell alone to the side. The pottery bowls that once held delicious food and brought the warmth and homeliness of the cave were nowhere to be seen, leaving only an empty table top.
There are now only a few lonely hooks left on the cave wall where animal skins were hung. The animal skins have disappeared without a trace, making the cave less warm and more lonely.
The food shelves in the corners were also empty; the prosperous scene that once was filled with fruits and grains was no longer there.
Qian Jingyao's face became even gloomier, his heart sank suddenly, and his first thought was that those hateful orcs had been here.
His breathing became rapid and heavy, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.
Without any hesitation, he rushed into the cave like a gust of wind, his nostrils flaring quickly as he carefully sniffed the air.
However, to his surprise, there was no scent of other orcs.
The air was filled with a familiar scent, and the scent of cocoa was lingering around. Usually, this scent would always make Qian Jingyao's heart become extremely soft and peaceful.
But now, his brows furrowed slightly, his eyes filled with worry.
Of course there is also the smell of that guy Qingyan.
And the smell of those three little guys.
Qian Jingyao was extremely anxious. He slowly walked around the cave twice, scanning every corner with gentle and careful eyes, not missing any possible clues.
He found that the stored food had been almost completely cleared out, leaving only a last bit of dried meat, which was placed alone on a clean stone.
The dried meat seemed to have been left behind on purpose, standing out in the chaos.
A complex emotion flashed across Qian Jingyao's dark eyes, including a hint of barely perceptible anger, but more of it was deep worry.
He bit his lips lightly, his voice carrying a hint of urgency, yet still whispering gently:
"Qingyan! Where did you take Coco?"
His voice echoed softly in the cave, filled with inquiry and concern.
After saying that, Qian Jingyao gently closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
In an instant, a soft light appeared around his body, and the light slowly spread like water waves, gradually enveloping his entire body.
As the light faded, a beautiful and agile snow fox appeared in its place.
His snow-white fur was like the purest snowflakes in winter, without any impurities. His four hooves ran lightly on the ground at a very fast speed, creating a gentle whirlwind.
As he ran, he carefully sniffed the air, not missing any scent that might be left by Xia Yueke.
His eyes were full of worry, and all kinds of bad images kept appearing in his mind.
Although Qingyan is powerful, can he really take good care of Coco?
Coco is so kind, sometimes even a little naive. What if she encounters danger?
He also saw that there was very little food left in the cave, only enough to last for about half a month. If he couldn't find them in time, would they starve?
What’s worse is that we don’t know when the rainy season will start again.
The pouring rain would mercilessly wash away the scent in the air, and then it would be even more difficult to find them. Every thought was like a sharp knife, piercing his heart.
Here, when Xia Yueke woke up, it was already bright outside the cave and heavy rain was pouring down. The rain was so heavy that it seemed as if someone was pouring water from the sky.
The air in the cave was slightly humid, with a hint of the fragrance of soil and the coolness of rain.
Xia Yueke lay on the soft animal skin like a furry ball, her small nose twitching slightly, as if she was sniffing this special scent.
She slowly opened her big eyes, which were like crystal clear lake water, and her long eyelashes fluttered like two small fans.
She stretched out her tender little white hands and rubbed her eyes, and the pair of fox ears on her head moved cutely, like two sensitive little radars.
She yawned, revealing her pink little tongue, then turned her gaze to Qingyan who was busy.
I saw that the beast from last night had been cut into small pieces by Qingyan and placed aside.
There was also a pile of meat next to it that he had failed to cook or grill. Some of it was black and sticky, as if it had been fished out of a pile of charcoal, while others still had blood in them and looked half-cooked, which was a bit funny.
Qing Yan turned his back to Xia Yueke, his big furry tail occasionally wagging. He scratched his head in annoyance and muttered to himself:
"Why, it still doesn't work? Try again, once. This time, it will definitely work!"
After saying that, he continued his actions confidently, completely unaware that Xia Yueke had woken up and was looking at him with her bright eyes.
Xia Yueke climbed up from the animal hide, took small steps and skipped to Qingyan's side. She tilted her head and looked at him, her eyes sparkling, and said with a smile:
"Qing Yan, you're amazing! Look at this meat. Although some of it is burnt and some is undercooked, your perseverance is like that indestructible cockroach. It's something I should learn from! Who knows, maybe you can become the best chef in our area in the future!"
