Chapter 235 Blueprint of the Asylum
Long Xiaoyu, however, refused to give in. He reached out and gently grasped Xia Yueke's wrist, pulling her back to him. "Pathetic? I think you've fallen in love but you're afraid to admit it."
Qian Jingyao and others watched this scene from the side with different expressions.
Qi'an was displeased and was about to step forward to stop them, but Qian Jingyao gently pulled him back and asked him to take a look at the situation first.
Xia Yueke struggled for a while, but failed to break free from Long Xiaoyu's hand. She raised her head and met Long Xiaoyu's fiery gaze, and was a little dazed for a moment.
Seeing this, Long Xiaoyu was delighted. He lowered his head slightly, his lips almost touching Xia Yueke's earlobe, and said softly:
"You can't escape, female. From the moment you picked up my egg, our fates have been intertwined."
Xia Yueke only felt an electric current spreading from her earlobe throughout her body. Her body trembled slightly. She wanted to open her mouth to refute, but found that her throat was dry and she couldn't say anything.
At this moment, a sudden noise in the distance broke the ambiguous atmosphere. It turned out that there was some minor disturbance in the city, and there seemed to be signs of foreign invasion.
Long Xiaoyu frowned, and reluctantly let go of Xia Yueke's hand. He looked in the direction of the voice, a sharp look flashing in his eyes, "Looks like there's trouble again."
Qian Jingyao and others immediately became alert and prepared to deal with emergencies.
Xia Yueke patted her hot cheeks, trying to calm herself down, and said, "Let's go see what happened first."
Long Xiaoyu looked at Xia Yueke deeply, as if to say that this matter was not over yet, then turned around and walked towards the place of the commotion with everyone.
On the way to the scene of the incident, Long Xiaoyu walked beside Xia Yueke intentionally or unintentionally, and his arm gently touched her shoulder from time to time, which made Xia Yueke's heart unable to calm down. The ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them became more and more intense in this tense situation.
When everyone went out, they found that there were two male beasts competing on the street. The reason was that the two male beasts had their eyes on the same female.
The female means that she will choose whoever is stronger as her partner.
The area was filled with orcs who were watching the fun and started to make a noise.
"Who do you think will win?"
A bear orc who was watching the fun said with a smile.
"Of course, it must be that guy from the Tiger Tribe. He's famously strong in our area!"
A wolf orc next to him grinned, revealing his sharp fangs and spoke.
Long Xiaoyu and others stood on the outskirts of the crowd, looking at the two orcs fighting hard in the field, their eyes full of disdain.
Xia Yueke frowned slightly and said softly, "Isn't it a bit too barbaric to fight like this just because of a partner?"
Long Xiaoyu turned his head to look at her, with a smile on his lips:
"In this world, strength is everything. Only the strong can have what they want."
His gaze lingered on Xia Yueke for a moment, hinting at something.
Qian Jingyao coughed lightly and said, "We should not interfere in this matter. This is the orcish rule."
However, as the battle intensified, one of the orcs suddenly lost control and launched a wave of attacks towards the crowd of onlookers.
Long Xiaoyu's eyes flashed, and he quickly protected Xia Yueke behind him. At the same time, he raised his hand and waved it, and an energy barrier instantly unfolded, blocking the attack wave.
"Humph, these guys really have no sense of propriety!" Long Xiaoyu snorted coldly and turned to look at Xia Yueke, "Are you okay?"
Xia Yueke shook her head, but she was surprised by Long Xiaoyu's actions just now.
"Thanks……"
Xia Yue is a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. Since Long Xiaoyu helped her, she will not be stingy with words of gratitude.
Qian Jingyao looked around and had no interest in the outcome. "Keke, let's go back, lest any accidents happen and affect us."
Xia Yueke was already frightened, so she nodded immediately and took everyone home.
Halfway through, Long Xiaoyu ran to Xia Yueke again and wanted to discuss the idea of the animal cub shelter with her.
"Female, last time I went to the homes of those male beasts, I learned about the situation of the female cub. So do you think if I set up a cub shelter in Beast City, would it increase the cubs' survival rate?"
Long Xiaoyu couldn't explain why, but he always felt that it would be better to tell this matter to this female. At least let her know that he was a responsible male beast.
After hearing this, Xia Yueke's eyes were full of admiration. She patted Long Xiaoyu's shoulder gently and said:
"I think your idea is great. It can help many orphaned cubs. I support you."
Long Xiaoyu was delighted to receive the affirmation and secretly vowed to get the matter done.
Long Xiaoyu perked up and asked, "Then how do you think we should proceed? Although I have an idea, I really have no idea how to implement it."
Xia Yueke lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said:
"First, we need to find a suitable place that's spacious, safe, and warm enough for the cubs to live and play comfortably. Perhaps we can renovate the abandoned camp east of the city. There's plenty of space there, and it's close to a water source."
Long Xiaoyu nodded seriously, picturing the appearance of the camp in his mind.
"Secondly, preparing supplies is crucial. We need to properly arrange food, clothing, toys, and so on for the cubs. We can mobilize the residents of Beast City to donate some unused items, and at the same time organize hunting teams to hunt regularly to ensure an adequate food supply."
There was a gleam in Xia Yueke's eyes, and she was obviously passionate about this matter.
"Also, staffing cannot be neglected. We need to recruit some caring and patient beastmen to take care of the cubs. Preferably, they should be female beastmen with parenting experience. They know how to soothe the cubs and take care of their daily lives."
Xia Yueke tilted her head slightly and looked at Long Xiaoyu, "What do you think of this?"
Long Xiaoyu's heart was filled with admiration for Xia Yueke. He grinned and said:
"Female, your idea is brilliant! I'll make arrangements right away and make sure the shelter is established as soon as possible."
"Also, there are some special orc evils that I think can live with these cubs."
Xia Yueke was puzzled, "What special orc?"
Long Xiaoyu felt a little sad at the sound, which was a little different from his usual image. "They are the orcs who lost their partners, males and some females..."
Xia Yueke had never seen these orcs before, but perhaps Long Xiaoyu's idea was feasible.
If only these orcs could learn from the innocence and cuteness of the cubs, they wouldn't have to lose hope in life.
Long Xiaoyu nodded and rubbed Xia Yueke's head vigorously. "Female, you are so smart. I will go and tell my men to come back soon. Remember to save some food for me! I will be back in the evening."
After Long Xiaoyu finished speaking, he immediately headed towards his city lord’s territory.
