Chapter 340 Comforting Qian Jingyao
By the second half of the night, the whole banquet was over and all the orcs dispersed and went home to sleep.
Xia Yueke and a large group of people also rushed towards the newly built house.
On the way, Xia Yueke finally remembered that he had not yet made arrangements for the group of stray animals. He had been so busy with his own affairs these days that he had forgotten about them.
So she asked Lang Ce, who chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I sent a message to them the day before yesterday when that old fox gave in. I told them to find a good place nearby to settle down. I'll call them when we need them!"
Xia Yueke nodded, "That's good. Tell them to be more restrained. This is a tribe after all, not those places before. Don't try to target the females here. Also, let them find their own food and go hunting!"
Lang Ce patted his chest and said, "I have already explained all this a long time ago. I will definitely not let them get into trouble."
Xia Yueke breathed a sigh of relief, and fell asleep immediately after returning home with Luo Cihe, Qi'an and others.
Even the two cubs, An An and Dun Dun, were tired from playing and jumped directly onto the bed. However, before they even touched the animal skin quilt, Luo Ci He reached out and grabbed them, caught them in his arms, and threw them into their own room next door.
"Go away, you're already grown up, and you're still sleeping with your own female beast. Aren't you ashamed? Go to sleep! But don't climb into the bed in the middle of the night. If I find out, I'll definitely give you a good beating! I won't let your female beast find out. I'll support you!"
Luo Cihe was furious. The two cubs were already too sleepy to open their eyes and were snoring in bed. When Luo Cihe wanted to say a few more words, their snoring had drowned out his voice.
Luo Cihe held his forehead with his hand. Now he didn’t know whether the two brats heard what he said.
Luo Cihe turned around and went back to their room, but in just a short while, there was no room left next to Xia Yueke! ?
Qian Jingyao curled up in a ball, nestled on her left. Qing Yan had grown into a large man and was hugging her directly. Long Xiaoyu had his tail wrapped around her legs, and Qi An had already fallen asleep. And Lang Ce, his big tail draped over Xia Yueke's belly, acting as a small blanket.
Luo Cihe took a deep breath, squeezed in, and then began to sleep soundly.
Xia Yueke only felt that her body was extremely warm, but also extremely heavy, as if something was pressing on her. Maybe it was because she drank too much juice at the banquet and wanted to go to the toilet, so she woke up with a wet feeling.
When she opened her eyes, it was still dark and the room was pitch black. But because she was also a fox, she inherited the fox's good eyesight, so she could still see everything clearly even without any light.
Xia Yueke turned over and wanted to deal with the important matter in her life, but something entangled her feet. She looked down and found that it was Long Xiaoyu's tail!
Xia Yueke looked around and found that they were all sleeping on the big bed, close to her. She held her breath and slowly lifted up Long Xiaoyu's tail. Unlike what she usually saw, Long Xiaoyu's current beast form was a small mini version of a dragon.
Its body shape was similar to that of a snake, so Xia Yueke lifted Long Xiaoyu up with just one effort.
Long Xiaoyu was sleeping very soundly, but his tail kept trying to wrap around something. He couldn't find anything for a long time, so he twisted and turned in Xia Yueke's hand. His eyelids moved, and he was about to wake up.
Xia Yueke quickly placed him on the feet of Lang Ce next to him.
The tail suddenly wrapped around Lang Ce's feet, quite tightly. Lang Ce moved his claws but did not respond and continued to sleep.
Xia Yuke breathed a sigh of relief and looked at how they were sleeping, but she didn't see Qian Jingyao.
He doesn't seem to be here! Xia Yueke frowned and decided to go to the toilet first.
Xia Yueke got out of bed quietly and went to the new toilet to relieve herself before returning to the room.
But she was still worried about Qian Jingyao, so she began to search everywhere.
However, there seemed to be nothing near this house. Just when Xia Yuke was about to give up and go to sleep, Qian Jingyao appeared.
He seemed to have just come back from outside, all wet, and I don't know where he had been.
Seeing Xia Yueke, he was stunned for a moment, "Keke, why are you awake?"
Xia Yueke looked him up and down, and said angrily, "Where have you been? Why aren't you sleeping?"
Qian Jingyao quickly explained, "Keke, I... just went to the tribe to take a look around. I wanted to see how things were going while I was away, and to see if there were any changes. Then I remembered that you hadn't eaten fish in a while, so I went to the creek we used to go to and caught a few."
Xia Yueke looked suspiciously at the seven or eight big fish in Qian Jingyao's hand, then nodded, "I see. Let's go for a walk outside and talk while we walk."
Qian Jingyao quickly put the fish into the kitchen and then came out. The two of them were silent all the way until Xia Yueke asked:
"Yaoyao, do you regret it? Do you regret your impulsive decision to take Qingyan and me away without saying goodbye?"
Qian Jingyao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head gently, then lowered his head with sadness in his eyes:
"No, Coco, I don't regret it. I just can't understand why my father lied for me. I just feel a little guilty. He must be under a lot of pressure to manage the tribe leader, discuss food distribution, and organize the orcs to defend against monsters and wild beasts after being away for so long!"
Xia Yue didn't know why, but after hearing Qian Jingyao's sincere words, she finally felt relieved.
She was also afraid of hearing Qian Jingyao say that he regretted taking risks for her.
Xia Yueke gently held Qian Jingyao's hand and looked at him gently and firmly:
"Yaoyao, don't think like that. The old chief did that because he loves you, understands you, and trusts you. He knows you left for your own reasons, and he believes you will come back one day and bring new hope to the tribe."
Qian Jingyao raised his head, his eyes still a little confused:
"But, I've been gone for so long, and my people have endured so much. I..."
Xia Yueke interrupted him:
"The tribe did go through some difficulties while you were away, but that's not entirely your fault. Besides, didn't your return bring new strength and new ideas to the tribe?"
She paused and continued:
"As for the old chief's lies, they were meant to protect you and to allow the tribe to accept you again. He is a wise elder, and he knows that you are now capable of leading the tribe towards a better future."
Qian Jingyao's eyes gradually brightened. He looked at Xia Yueke and said softly, "Keke, thank you. I feel much better with you by my side."
Xia Yueke smiled and said, "We are partners, people who have been through thick and thin together. Why should I say thank you? Besides, you have also sacrificed a lot for me and Qingyan. I know that you have never regretted your decision. How could I doubt you?"
Qian Jingyao nodded slightly, and the haze in his heart gradually dissipated. He took a deep breath and said:
"Coco, I understand. I won't dwell on the guilt of the past anymore. I will work hard to do more for the tribe and live up to the expectations of my father and the tribe members."
Xia Yueke looked at him with relief: "That's right. Let's work together to make the tribe stronger and let our people live a better life."
As they were talking, the sky gradually turned pale. Xia Yueke looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost dawn. Let's go back. Everyone should be waking up soon."
