Chapter 328 Separation
The atmosphere in the wooden house suddenly became solemn. The firewood in the fire pit crackled, reflecting on everyone's faces with different expressions.
Qian Jingyao's fox tail swept across the ground unconsciously, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his golden eyes: "Actually..." He paused, "We can go to the fox tribe."
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Xia Yueke raised her head in surprise and met Shang Qian Jingyao's evasive gaze.
Only then did she realize that the fox orc, who was always at ease, now had a faint blush on the tips of his ears.
"You..." she said softly, "Do you want to go home?"
Qian Jingyao's tail suddenly froze, he turned his face away, his voice a little hoarse:
"I want to go back and see...what happened to my people?"
Xia Yuke also knew how painful it was for Qian Jingyao not to say goodbye.
They haven't returned to the fox tribe for such a long time, and the tribe leader may be very worried about them.
"Okay! Let's go back to the Fox Tribe and see the chief!"
When Qian Jingyao heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light.
"Really?"
Xia Yueke smiled and nodded, "Of course, I want to go back and take a look too!"
Qian Jingyao was so excited that he couldn't speak.
The others did not laugh at Qian Jingyao's loss of composure, but were extremely envious.
"Okay, then it's decided. Let's go back to the Fox Tribe!"
Ever since the last invasion by the White Wolf Tribe, Rongqiu Duzai and his companions have found a place a little further away from the Wandering Beast Tribe to settle down.
As for why they lived so far away? Because they were afraid that these strays would be ignorant and scary-looking. Rongqiu was afraid that Liuli would be frightened, so he specifically told Xia Yueke that he wanted to find a secluded place to live.
Xia Yueke was concerned about Lang Ce's wound at the time, so she just let them go.
Rongqiu was very happy at that time, and the printing assistant wanted Liuli to develop a good relationship with the three of them.
As a result, Liuli thought about going to play with Xia Yueke every day, which made Juanjuan very angry.
"Liuli, can you please just stay with us peacefully? Your sister Yue Ke is very busy right now. Her partner is injured and she has to take care of him. She doesn't have time to play with you!"
Liuli's eyes were red. "Really?"
Rongqiu rubbed her head and said, "Of course, let's go in a few days. Besides, the people from the White Wolf Tribe suddenly showed up last time and scared us to death. Fortunately, Juanjuan was with you last time and immediately decided to come back and hide. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to fight properly."
Liuli sniffed and said, "Okay, then I'll wait until Sister Yue Ke is free."
Seeing that Liuli finally stopped making a fuss, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Rongqiu took care of Liuli, Duzi cooked, and Juanjuan went hunting. The three of them were well assigned tasks. They took turns every day, and there was no jealousy or accidents.
As a result, less than a month later, news came that Xia Yue was leaving with Lang Ce and the others.
"Duzi, Rongqiu and I have discussed and decided to go to the Fox Tribe. What are your plans?"
After they finished discussing and packed up their things, Xia Yuke remembered that Rongqiujuanjuan and the others were still staying here with Liuli, so she hurried over to ask them.
"Ah, leaving so soon?"
Liuli's babyish voice came over, with doubt in her voice, "Then let's go with you!"
Juanjuan hesitated. He looked at the ball of fur, "Are we still going with Keke this time? We just left the Fox Tribe not long ago. Are we going back so soon?"
Duzai and Rongqiu looked at each other, obviously not wanting to go back, and now Liuli was just old enough to go to school.
Fluffball thought it was time for them to return to Beast City.
So, Rongqiu squatted down and looked Liuli in the eye and said, "Liuli, we can't leave with Sister Yueke now. We have to go back to Beast City."
"Ah, why? Wouldn't it be better if we just followed them?"
Liuli's wolf ears moved, obviously not understanding what the ball of fluff meant.
Duzi: "You have to go to school now. If you don't go now, it will be too late. There is a lot of knowledge there, you can't not learn it! And it's not good for us to keep pestering Keke. She has her own life to live!"
Xia Yuke was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that this little naughty boy Duzi could speak so calmly. It was unlike them at all.
After having Liuli, the three of them have obviously become more mature and not as naughty as before.
Xia Yueke didn't know why, but she always felt very relieved.
Liuli looked at their serious expressions and knew that this was the only way to deal with it. She was just a little reluctant to leave Xia Yuke and the two boys An An and Dun Dun.
They are so cute. I haven’t even had enough fun with them yet, but I’m leaving.
"Okay, I understand."
Liuli sighed like an adult, looking very sad.
The ball of fluff couldn't help but laugh. "Okay, I'll buy you something to eat when we get to Beast City. There are much more things in Beast City than here!"
Then he stood up and told Xia Yueke their decision.
"After you leave, we'll take Liuli back to Beast City. Did you leave because of the White Tribe? Are you afraid of a surprise attack?"
The ball of fluff had some idea, but was still a little unsure.
Xia Yueke: "It's not that we're afraid of a sneak attack, it's that Lang Ce said he doesn't want to stay here anymore. There's a potential enemy here anyway, and it's really not safe here. If we don't get rid of them, they'll come back. We might as well leave!"
The ball nodded, his expression softening. "Then be careful on the road. You have many partners now, but you also need to pay attention to the balance between them. Don't be too partial to one side, otherwise it will definitely cause conflicts over time."
Xia Yueke didn't expect the pompom to be so interesting. It even reminded her of this. "Okay, okay, I know. I will treat everyone equally!"
The ball of fluff nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll just pack up. Maybe we should leave first. You guys have to migrate with so many stray animals, which will probably take quite a while. We won't wait for you and will leave tomorrow morning."
Xia Yueke nodded, turned around and went home.
The next day, before the morning mist dissipated, Liuli squatted at the door of the wooden house holding a small bamboo basket full of pine cones.
Dew wet her silver wolf ears, and her amber pupils stared unblinkingly at the end of the path.
When she saw two snowball-like figures jumping out, she jumped up suddenly, and the pine cones in the bamboo basket scattered all over the ground.
"An An! Dun Dun!" Liuli's tail shook like a little windmill. "Look! I've collected thirty of the most beautiful pine cones!"
Dun Dun immediately pounced into the pile of pine cones, and used his little paws to pick up the round fruits: "Wow! This one has rainbow patterns! Sister Liuli is so amazing!" As he said that, he was about to put it in his mouth.
"You can't eat it!" Liuli hurriedly snatched it back, "This is a farewell gift for you!"
She divided the pine cones into two piles and tied them carefully with vines. "The ones with red veins are An'an, and the ones that look like stars are Dundun."
An An's ice-blue ears drooped, and ice crystals formed from her fingertips, wrapping the pine cones. "Sister Liuli, are you really going back to Beast City? Is there a bed in Beast City softer than the belly of the Blue Flame father beast?"
