Chapter 323: Langce's Mother Beast
As night fell, Xia Yueke sat by the campfire, holding a bowl of hot soup in her hand, her eyes a little dazed.
Lang Ce walked up to her silently and brushed her ankle lightly with his tail: "What are you thinking about?"
Xia Yueke came back to her senses, looked up at Lang Ce, and smiled slightly: "Nothing, I just feel that there have been too many things going on recently, and I'm a little tired."
Lang Ce sat down beside her, his tail naturally wrapped around her waist: "Rest when you are tired. I am here and no one will disturb you."
Xia Yueke could feel the warmth of his tail, and her face felt slightly hot. She whispered, "Lang Ce, you don't have to be so nervous all the time. I can take care of myself."
Lang Ce's ears twitched, and his voice was low and firm: "I know you can take care of yourself, but I just want to protect you. This is my instinct and my choice."
Xia Yueke felt warm in her heart and leaned gently on his shoulder: "Thank you, Langce."
Just then, the sound of flapping wings echoed from the sky. Long Xiaoyu descended from the sky, landing in front of the two men. Seeing Xia Yuen leaning on Lang Ce's shoulder, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
"Keke," Long Xiaoyu's voice was still gentle, "The fortifications have been arranged. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Xia Yueke raised her head and was about to answer, but Lang Ce spoke first: "Keke is tired and needs to rest. We can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything."
Long Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows, his eyes fixed on Lang Ce's tail that was wrapped around Xia Yueke, and said with a hint of provocation: "Lang Ce, are you making decisions for Keke?"
Lang Ce's tail tightened a little, his eyes sharp: "I am just protecting her, unlike some people who always use high-sounding reasons to disturb her."
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Xia Yue quickly stood up and said, "Okay, okay, I'm fine. Long Xiaoyu, I'll go with you to check out the fortifications."
Lang Ce's tail froze instantly, a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes, but he quickly returned to his indifferent expression: "Whatever you say."
Long Xiaoyu showed a triumphant smile and reached out to hold Xia Yueke's hand: "Let's go, I'll take you there."
Xia Yueke felt the warmth of his palm as he held her hand, and her face flushed slightly. She turned back to look at Lang Ce and whispered, "Lang Ce, you want to come too?"
Lang Ce snorted coldly and turned his head away: "No need, I'll stay here and guard it."
Xia Yuke wanted to say something, but Long Xiaoyu had already pulled her away.
Lang Ce was sitting by the campfire, his tail sweeping unconsciously, and his eyes occasionally glanced at Xia Yueke who was checking the fortifications with Long Xiaoyu in the distance.
His ears twitched slightly, and it was obvious that he was not calm.
Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard.
Lang Ce raised his head alertly and saw a tall, stern-looking female with a large group of white wolves appearing on the outskirts of the tribe.
Her fur was pure white, and her eyes held a hint of arrogance and anger.
Lang Ce stood up, and a large number of stray animals also gathered around.
The white wolf leader looked over here menacingly and happened to meet Lang Ce's gaze.
He was stunned, and the pupils of the two people suddenly shrank. There was disbelief in their eyes at first, and then a hint of panic flashed across their eyes. They whispered a few words to the female next to them.
As he got closer, the female suddenly raised her head.
"Lang Ce? It's you? You're not dead yet?" Her voice was sharp and piercing, with an unbelievable tone.
Lang Ce's pupils trembled, and his tail stiffened instantly. He slowly stood up and said in a low and cold voice, "Who are you?"
The female sneered, "What? You don't even recognize your own female beast? I am the female of the White Wolf Tribe's chief, and also your female beast!"
Lang Ce's claws tightened unconsciously, and a trace of pain and anger flashed in his eyes:
"Female beast? You don't deserve it! When you and the father beast abandoned me, why didn't you think that you were my female beast?"
The female wolf, Wolf Green, had a slightly changed expression, but quickly returned to her indifference.
"That's for the good of the tribe! You were born weak and destined not to become a strong warrior. We simply made the most reasonable choice."
A low growl erupted from Lang Ce's throat. "The most reasonable choice? Let me fend for myself in the jungle? If I hadn't been rescued by a stray beast, I would have died long ago!"
The white wolf with a scar on his face trembled his fingers, and then a surge of anger surged from the bottom of his heart, "You are nothing but a disaster for the tribe. Not killing you is already a great blessing! Don't you know what's good for you?"
Lang Ce's heart was beating fast with anger. Just because his fur color was different, did it mean he was a disaster?
Xia Yueke heard the noise and hurried over. She stood beside Lang Ce and looked at Lang Qing coldly: "Are you Lang Qing? What qualifications do you have to come here and question him?"
Lang Qing glanced at Xia Yueke and said with disdain: "Who are you? A female of Lang Ce, you don't look that good!"
Xia Yueke was so angry that her face turned pale. Just as she was about to retort, Lang Ce stood in front of her and said in a cold voice: "Shut up! You are not worthy of talking about her!"
Lang Qing snorted coldly and continued, "Lang Ce, I don't care how you survived, but why did you kill Bai Yu? He's your brother! You should have let him go!"
A trace of murderous intent flashed in Lang Ce's eyes. "Let him go? He brought the warriors of the White Wolf Tribe to attack my tribe and wanted to kill all my people. You want me to let him go? Why?"
Lang Qing's face darkened. "Bai Yu is doing this for the benefit of the tribe! Those stray beasts don't deserve to live!"
Lang Ce slammed his tail against the ground, his voice filled with suppressed anger: "What about me and my people? Don't we deserve to live too? You abandoned me, and now you want to blame me? Dream on!"
Qian Jingyao came over without knowing when, with a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes were frighteningly cold:
"This... White Wolf Chief, Lang Ce is our family now. If you dare to speak rudely to him again, I don't mind letting you taste my poison needle."
Long Xiaoyu also came over, his eyes sharp: "Lang Ce's business is my business. If you don't want the White Wolf Tribe to disappear from this world, you'd better leave now."
Qi'an stood aside. Although he didn't say anything, the ice blade in his hand had already condensed into shape, and he was obviously ready to take action at any time.
Luo Cihe leaned against the tree trunk, a smile on his lips: "Oh my, it's really lively. However, those who bully our little Yue Ke will not have a good end."
Qing Yan scratched his head and said innocently, "Lang Ce is our family, you can't bully him! Otherwise I will burn you with fire!"
Xia Yueke looked at the cold and arrogant look of the female beast Langce, and her heart was filled with anger. She held Langce's hand tightly, feeling the coldness and slight trembling from his palm, and a wave of bitterness surged in her heart.
