Chapter 293 Can't Wait
Wandering Valley was shrouded in gloom, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it made people breathless.
Qian Jingyao suddenly spoke, his voice filled with excitement and anxiety that were difficult to conceal: "I felt the cub was born!"
These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of everyone present and causing a thousand waves.
Luo Cihe punched the tree trunk beside him, causing the bark to fly. His face was filled with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Damn it! Why can't I find Xiao Yueke? Where on earth did she go? We've almost wiped out all the stray beasts in Wandering Valley!"
Qi'an's expression became increasingly ugly, his brows knitted into a knot, and he muttered to himself:
"Yeah, where is she? Now that the cub is born, does that mean she's safe now, out of danger?"
At this moment, their bodies were covered with scars and blood, which were the marks left by countless brutal battles.
They had previously inquired and learned that after the stray beasts captured females, they would bring them to the Wandering Valley to exchange for supplies. So, they rushed here without stopping, and once they arrived, they destroyed the Wandering Valley like a tiger descending from the mountain.
They anxiously searched among the abducted females one by one, leaving no corner unsearched, but Xia Yueke seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, leaving no trace.
"Could it be that Coco has been exchanged?"
Long Xiaoyu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He was full of regret and felt that he was always one step slower. This feeling of powerlessness almost made him collapse.
Now that he heard that the cub was born, his face became even more gloomy. He knew in his heart that this might mean that Xia Yue would be taken away by other male beasts.
During the month of searching for Xia Yueke, they relied entirely on Qian Jingyao to sense whether the cub was still there, so as to judge Xia Yueke's safety.
Now, Wandering Valley has been turned upside down by them. Duzai and his friends even found Liuli's enemies and captured them all, but there is still no news of Xia Yueke.
"Since she's not here, let's quickly find another location! The rest of us split up and search! No matter if it's an ordinary orc tribe or a wandering beast lair, we must dig deep to find Coco!"
This was the decision they had made before. But at this moment, because of the birth of the cub, Long Xiaoyu was in a terrible mood. He was not able to be with Keke during her most difficult time. He couldn't even see his cubs and could only know about their birth through blood induction.
He was filled with self-blame, feeling that he was not a qualified father at all.
Qian Jingyao's eyes instantly became moist, but he knew that he could not fall down. His partner and cub were still waiting for him, and he would never give up!
Qian Jingyao slowly closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and tried to accurately capture the location of the cubs through blood inheritance.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes abruptly, a glimmer of light flashing in them: "In the southwest direction, but I still can't sense the exact location..."
When Qing Yan heard this, he immediately jumped up from the ground. His eyes, which were already bloodshot, became even more scarlet, as if soaked in blood. It was obvious that he had not had a good rest for a long time.
"Now... hurry up and set off. Qingyan can't... be without... Yue."
There was a hint of madness in his words. The torment of these days had brought him to the brink of collapse. Now, when he heard Xia Yueke's approximate location, he could no longer wait a moment longer!
Luo Cihe made a prompt decision:
"Alright, let's go now! We've scared off all the stray animals around here. We can deal with the remaining minions later. The most urgent thing is to find her!"
The decision was made, and everyone acted decisively. They hurriedly gathered some food that the stray beasts had painstakingly stored and set out on their journey again. Their steps were hurried, their figures determined, as they rushed southwest, their only hope being to find Xia Yueke as soon as possible...
———
Steaming steam filled the small wooden house, filling it with warmth and haziness. Xia Yueke soaked in the tub, the hot water enveloping her exhausted body, and the fatigue and discomfort of many days gradually dissipated in that moment.
She closed her eyes comfortably and gently ran her fingertips across the water, creating ripples.
Just as she was immersed in this moment of peace, there was a loud "bang" and the wooden door was knocked open by brute force.
Xia Yue didn't need to look back. Just by the familiar feeling of oppression, she knew who was coming.
"Get out! Can't you see I'm busy?"
Xia Yueke was shocked and angry. She subconsciously hugged herself with her hands, and her voice trembled slightly with anger.
Lang Ce seemed not to hear anything, with a strange light flashing in his eyes. He slowly approached step by step, his figure looming in the water vapor.
"I can't wait."
Lang Ce's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of long-suppressed madness.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly reached out and pulled Xia Yueke out of the warm water. Water droplets continued to slide down from her hair and fingertips, splashing on the ground.
Before Xia Yuke could exclaim, Lang Ce's lips pressed down hard, with predatory arrogance and eagerness.
He held Xia Yueke's head tightly with one hand, and slid the other hand slowly down her back, moving freely. His hot palm ironed her wet skin, and the ambiguous atmosphere became stronger in this small space.
His kiss was rough and passionate, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.
Xia Yueke opened her eyes wide, full of fear and resistance, and pushed his chest desperately with her hands, but Lang Ce was so strong that her resistance was futile in front of him.
It was not until Xia Yueke felt the air in her chest being drained away bit by bit and her consciousness gradually became blurred that Lang Ce reluctantly let her go.
The tip of his tongue gently licked the corner of his mouth, and his eyes wandered greedily over Xia Yueke's face, as if he wanted to engrave every expression of hers into his heart.
Lang Ce's breathing was rapid and hot, spraying into Xia Yueke's ear, "We can finally do something fun tonight! So excited..."
His tone rose slightly, with a hint of strange pleasure, and his warm breath sprayed on Xia Yuke's sensitive neck, causing her to shiver.
Xia Yueke was breathing heavily, with a trace of fear and anger still on her face. She pushed Lang Ce away with all her strength, her voice tinged with tears:
"Are you crazy? You just gave birth to a baby, why are you in such a hurry?"
Lang Ce smiled instead of getting angry. He reached out and gently stroked Xia Yueke's cheek, stroking her lower lip with his thumb, his eyes full of possessiveness. "Didn't I keep your cub? Now it's time to repay me, right?"
Xia Yueke's face turned red and white, and she felt helpless. Finally, she said with tears in her eyes:
"Can you wait a few more days? I'm so tired..."
Upon hearing this, Lang Ce pinched Xia Yueke's chin, forcing her to look at him, his eyes revealing a dangerous warning:
"Don't play any tricks, my little fox. You will be mine sooner or later. If you resist, your two cubs will die!"
After saying this, he looked at the anger in Xia Yueke's eyes with satisfaction, and smiled. He found that he seemed to have found a way to control the little fox...
