Chapter 134 The Proposal Was Rejected
She is no longer in that era. It turns out that the cubs here have such an easy and comfortable life and rest so early?
An irrepressible joy suddenly surged in Xia Yueke's heart. She felt that this day was as wonderful as soaking in a honey pot. All her worries were completely dispelled by the early ringing of the school bell.
The other orc cubs also packed their animal skin bags and headed towards the school gate in a hurry.
Xia Yueke also walked out slowly carrying her animal skin bag.
Xia Yueke guessed that it must be Qing Yan who came to pick her up, and secretly thought that she could go back by herself in the future.
After all, I have become more familiar with the surrounding environment in the past few days.
When we arrived at the gate of the tribe, a large group of orcs had already gathered there, bustling and noisy.
They were either chatting in low voices in groups of two or three, or looking expectantly into the tribe, their eyes full of concern and expectation for their cubs.
Soon, when their cubs appeared one after another, the orcs' faces were filled with happy smiles. They happily took their babies back home, and did not forget to touch their heads affectionately, and whispered to ask about their situation after they separated.
Xia Yueke stood aside, and among the orcs, he spotted Qingyan immediately. His 1.9-meter-tall figure stood out like a crane among chickens, making him extremely eye-catching in the crowd.
His green hair fell behind him like a waterfall. Since Xia Yueke hadn't combed his hair for a while, his hair was a little messy. A few strands of hair were playfully scattered on both sides of his cheeks, adding a bit of cuteness to his originally stern face.
Qingyan's torch-like eyes searched anxiously among the crowd. The moment he saw Xia Yueke, a red light suddenly flashed in his deep eyes. He waved his arms excitedly and shouted loudly:
"Yue! Here! Here!"
Xia Yueke walked over quickly, with an expression of uncontrollable joy on her face, and shouted, "Qingyan!"
Qing Yan's slightly anxious expression turned into excitement the moment he saw Xia Yueke. He quickly took Xia Yueke's hand and said in a slightly coquettish tone:
"Yue, you're finally back. I've been waiting for you at home all day! It feels like today has passed so slowly."
Xia Yueke and Qingyan walked slowly along the street beside the stone house. Xia Yueke tilted her head and said:
"Qingyan, I'll go home by myself next time. It's so close anyway, it would be too much trouble for you to always pick me up! You have your own things to do too."
Qing Yan immediately shook his head, and the strands of hair on his forehead swayed slightly. His hands unconsciously increased their strength and gripped it tighter, "No, no, I want to come!"
Xia Yueke smiled helplessly, "You are just too persistent. I am already such a grown-up, what can possibly happen to me?"
Qing Yan looked at her seriously and said, "That won't do. There are so many orcs outside right now. I'm worried about you going alone. What if you fall? That would be terrible."
Xia Yueke felt warm in her heart, "Oh, it's not as exaggerated as you say, but thank you for caring about me so much."
Qing Yan held her hand tighter, "Yue, don't argue, I'm being polite, I'll listen to Yue in everything else!"
The two of them laughed and talked all the way, and before they knew it, they arrived at their doorstep.
Xia Yueke ran in happily, already thinking about how to vividly share with Qian Jingyao the interesting things that happened in school that day, for example, on the first day today, she made two new friends!
Her eyes were sparkling with anticipation as she quickly searched the house for Qian Jingyao. She searched the bedroom and the yard but didn't see a single person.
Xia Yuke slapped her head and remembered that Qian Jingyao seemed to have said that he would use the time when she was in school to go into seclusion and concentrate on improving the beast's strength.
Her originally excited expression instantly became a little lost, her shoulders slumped slightly, and she could only give up helplessly.
Qing Yan walked over and said with an extremely proud expression on his face:
"Yue, he taught me how to grill meat and make porridge all day long today. I studied very hard and now I can definitely take good care of you."
As he spoke, he quickly tied the animal skin apron with unique patterns in front of him.
I saw his fingers fiddling with the apron strings a little clumsily, tying a crooked knot that looked really funny.
The apron was also loose on him, as if it would slip off at any moment.
When Xia Yueke saw Qing Yan's expression, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and she almost laughed out loud.
But when she saw Qingyan's eyes full of expectation and seriousness, her heart softened and she forced herself to suppress her smile, not wanting to dampen Qingyan's enthusiasm.
After Qingyan put on the animal skin apron, he started working in a hurry.
He first ran to the kitchen and stared at the pile of ingredients for a while, as if trying hard to recall the steps Qian Jingyao taught him.
Then, he carefully picked up a piece of meat, placed it on the chopping board, and began to cut it in the same way as he remembered. However, the pieces of meat were of different sizes and uneven.
While Qing Yan was happily busy cooking in the kitchen, Xia Yueke quickly started his own practice plan and did not dare to slack off at all.
She first gently took off her animal skin bag filled with various small items from her shoulder and carefully hung it on the wooden rack near the door.
Then, she took a deep breath, her expression became serious and focused, and she began to carefully recall in her mind every detail of the method that the Great Witch taught her today to increase the power of the beast. She looked so focused that it seemed as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
She secretly encouraged herself in her heart, thinking that she must not be laughed at or looked down upon by him.
When she thought of this, she felt full of energy. She stretched out her hands skillfully, quickly gathered her long hair, which was as soft as black satin, behind her head, and tied it up high with a colorful ribbon, like a smart ponytail.
After tying her hair, she stood in the middle of the room, closed her eyes slightly, and began to concentrate on mobilizing the animal power in her body, trying to continue practicing the ability to control ice and snow.
She slowly raised her hands in front of her, palms slightly upwards. The air around her seemed to grow colder with her movements, and strands of icy blue magic light were faintly visible at her fingertips.
Qing Yan was initially completely immersed in the scene of cooking, concentrating on cutting vegetables and mixing seasonings. But after a while, when he wanted to share his little cooking discovery with Xia Yueke, he found that Xia Yueke was no longer around.
His heart suddenly tightened, and he immediately put down the knife in his hand and hurriedly searched in each room.
