Chapter 240 Duzi and the others’ decision
Xia Yueke hurried back to her room, her heart still pounding in her chest. From then on, she never dared to go out alone again.
In the following days, Xia Yueke always subconsciously avoided Long Xiaoyu.
Every time their eyes met, the kiss that almost happened would come to her mind, and a burning heat would instantly surge to her cheeks. She could only turn and run away like a frightened deer.
Long Xiaoyu looked at Xia Yuke dodging like this, feeling both helpless and amused.
In order to get closer to her, he racked his brains, sometimes using excuses to give her some exquisite little items, and sometimes pretending to help her solve small troubles inadvertently, trying to break down the wall of her heart.
Until this day, Duzi and Rongqiu rushed to Xia Yueke's house.
"Keke, Juanjuan stayed at home to take care of Liuli. We came here to tell you that we plan to avenge Liuli and find those stray orcs who hurt their tribe!" Duzi looked solemn and spoke in a firm tone.
Xia Yueke was puzzled and asked, "Ah? Why did you suddenly come up with this idea?"
Duzi's face flushed with shyness, and he said:
"Well... I like Liuli. After spending more than a month together, I found that she is cute, kind, and very brave. I want to give her everything she wants."
Xia Yuke was slightly startled when she heard this, and then asked, "So you want to win her heart through revenge? But didn't you say before that the three of you should find a partner together? What do you think, Rongqiu?"
The ball shrugged and said with a smile, "I like her too. We all think that helping her get revenge will definitely impress her."
Xia Yueke nodded slightly, but her expression turned serious. "If this is accomplished, it will indeed be a good thing. But if Liuli doesn't like you two, you won't use this to threaten her, right?"
Xia Yueke frowned slightly, her expression somewhat grim. She didn't want Rongqiu and the others to ask for repayment. After all, Liuli's own wishes were the most important. She sincerely hoped that Liuli could freely choose her beloved partner, rather than forcing herself out of gratitude.
When Duzi and Rongqiu heard this, they were stunned at first, and then they waved their hands desperately.
Duzi hurriedly explained, "Keke, we're definitely not that kind of people! We truly love Liuli and want to do something practical for her. If she still doesn't feel the same way about us, we won't force it. We just want to do our best to make her happy."
The ball also nodded and said seriously:
"Yes, we simply want to protect her. Seeing her sad, we feel bad too. Regardless of whether Liuli likes us or not, we feel that revenge is something we must do."
Xia Yueke looked at their sincere eyes, and the worry in her heart was slightly relieved. She said:
"Okay, I believe you. But you have to understand that this is not an easy task. Those wandering orcs are very ferocious. You must not act impulsively."
At this time, Long Xiaoyu, who had been standing aside and listening silently, spoke:
"You two little guys, it's nice to have this intention, but do you have a detailed plan? Rushing over like this rashly is simply courting death."
Xia Yueke quickly agreed:
"Yeah, yeah, do you know where those stray orcs are?"
The ball of fluff scratched his head, looked a little hesitant, and said:
"Hmm... Liuli said it seems to be in the western forest. She saw a scorpion orc. If we find that guy, we can probably find their lair."
Duzi added, "That's right, we can just let Liuli recognize it when the time comes."
Long Xiaoyu sneered and said:
"With just the few of you, you're no match for them. The wandering orcs have their own gathering places, and the three of you are only fourth-level orcs. The lowest-level wandering orcs are about the same as you, not to mention there are some who are as powerful as me."
Long Xiaoyu shook his head slightly. In his opinion, these little guys were too impulsive.
Duzi and Rongqiu looked at each other, neither of them wanting to give up.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Rongqiu asked humbly.
"Of course, it's to improve your strength! Before heading to the Western Forest, go to the Misty Forest for some training and practice with a hundred or eighty monsters. It's better than wasting time here."
When Duzai heard this, he immediately responded, "Okay, we'll listen to you!" After that, they prepared to leave.
Xia Yueke quickly grabbed their sleeves and said anxiously, "Hey, you're not going now, are you? What if you run into danger with just a few of you?"
In her opinion, Long Xiaoyu was right. If those evil stray orcs showed up in groups, Duzi and the others would undoubtedly die in vain if they went there.
Xia Yueke looked at Long Xiaoyu worriedly and asked, "Long Xiaoyu, there won't be as many stray beasts there as in our Beast City, right?"
Long Xiaoyu shook his head slightly and said, "Not that many. Some wandering orcs like to be alone, while others form small groups. After all, everyone wants to be the boss."
Xia Yueke nodded and had a clearer understanding of the place.
"I think it's too dangerous for you guys to go. If your strength reached the tenth level, I wouldn't say much, but now you are just fledgling minions!"
Duzi, who was called a "little minion", felt a little lost and muttered:
"What should we do then? What if Liuli goes to seek revenge herself in the future? She's been feeling down all day and keeps thinking about going herself."
Xia Yueke stroked his chin, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes, and said, "How about I go too? Let's not be impulsive or anxious. Let's improve our strength first, and then move quietly, so as not to alert other stray beasts, and only eliminate those guys who harm the wolf tribe."
Long Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment before a bright smile appeared on his face. He said, "Of course, since you've been bored lately, I'll just keep you company and help you pass the time."
Long Xiaoyu was trapped in Beast City all day, dealing with a mountain of tasks, and he was already tired of it. Why should Qi'an and Luo Cihe, with their female companions, be able to work for a few days and rest for a few days, while he had to toil day and night? He immediately decided to throw all the tasks to the old orcs.
Don’t they always complain that he is being too arbitrary? So from now on, until he and Xia Yueke come back, they will take over all matters.
The ball of fluff felt a little sorry and said, "Coco, is this too much trouble for you? How about we go by ourselves? We will go to the Misty Forest to exercise well."
How could Xia Yue let them go alone? If something unexpected happened, she wouldn't even know about it.
She quickly spat a few times in her heart, thinking to herself that they would definitely live a long life.
"Alright, stop talking, it's settled. There's no rush now. Let's wait until Long Xiaoyu's cub shelter is built before we set off. For now, just stay with Liuli and make her feel at ease."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Xia Yueke, Rongqiu nodded helplessly and said:
"Keke, we were too impatient. Be sure to pay attention to safety when the time comes. We'll go back first. We'll set off together when we leave, and maybe we can go have some fun along the way."
