Chapter 95 Separation
After a while, they stopped, turned around in place, and then turned into human form.
They are Duzi, Juanjuan and Rongqiu. Duzi has a round and rosy face.
He has a pair of big eyes that are always rolling around, showing his cleverness.
His curly hair is naturally curly, like a cloud on his head. There is always a smile on the corners of his mouth, revealing two cute dimples.
The pompom is fleshy, like a small meat bun, and his little hands are still chubby. The three of them seem to have grown a lot taller, but their cute appearance has not diminished at all. They look adorable, like three round little dumplings.
Before Xia Yueke could wonder why the three of them came here today.
There was a small bundle stuffed with a pompom. The bundle was not big and was embroidered with some simple patterns. It was made of colorful animal skin.
Rongqiu held Xia Yueke's little hand. His little hand was soft and a little warm.
His eyes were wide open and his tone was urgent:
"Keke, I heard the chief and the others wanted to get rid of Qingyan! And they were doing it secretly, so I thought I'd tell you! And what evil beast are they talking about?"
As he spoke, he jumped twice, seeming to be very anxious.
Juanjuan said hurriedly:
"Yeah, Coco, what is an evil beast? They say Qingyan is an evil beast, so it can't be in our tribe, but I think Qingyan is pretty good!"
His eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and he looked puzzled. After he finished speaking, he looked at Qing Yan and gave him a friendly smile, revealing two small white fangs.
Duzi came closer, his eyes narrowed into slits, and said mysteriously:
"Keke, I think they're wrong. They want to get rid of Qingyan while you're away. The three of us saw that you seemed to like Qingyan last time, so we decided to tell you. What if Qingyan is really gone and you're sad?"
As he spoke, he gestured with his hands, sometimes pointing in the direction the patriarch left, sometimes pointing at Qingyan.
When Xia Yueke listened to what the three little guys said, her expression seemed to be frozen in an instant, and her whole body suddenly stopped, as if time had stopped flowing at this moment.
Her lips trembled slightly, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes. The fear was like lightning in the night sky, instantly piercing her originally calm eyes.
She was a little bit in disbelief, and their words kept echoing in her mind, but beneath this disbelief, there was a hint of expectation, just like the nightmare she had been vaguely worried about was now gradually unfolding clearly before her eyes.
Her face turned as pale as the first snow in winter, without a trace of blood. Her hands unconsciously clenched the small bundle. Her fingers turned white due to the force, and her knuckles protruded, showing her inner tension and anxiety.
Her brows were tightly furrowed, her eyes full of confusion and worry, and she asked in a hoarse voice:
"How...how did you know?"
Duzi took a small step forward, blinked his round eyes, and said nervously:
"Keke, we accidentally overheard it when we were practicing our abilities with the tribe leader. We were in a corner at the time, and the tribe leader and the others didn't notice us."
Juanjuan nodded continuously and added:
"Yes, yes, we didn't want to listen at first, but when they mentioned the Blue Flame, we pricked up our ears and listened."
Rongqiu also hurriedly said: "Besides, Brother Qian Jingyao is here too. They seem to be discussing something very important."
A trace of panic flashed in Xia Yueke's eyes. She knew that if Qian Jingyao was there, the situation might be more serious than she imagined.
Before she could speak again, Duzi said anxiously:
"Keke, we also heard from some tribesmen that you have been bewitched by this evil beast. They said that Brother Qingyan will bring disaster to the tribe, so they want to secretly eliminate him and can't let you stop them."
Xia Yueke's body shook slightly, as if these words hit her vital point.
A trace of anger ignited in her eyes, and she shouted, "How can they say that! Qingyan is not what they say. He saved us!"
Her eyes were filled with anger towards the ignorance of her tribesmen and heartache for Qingyan.
She turned and looked at Qingyan in the cave, her eyes becoming more determined. No matter what, she would not let Qingyan be hurt.
Qingyan heard it too, and he was so anxious that he turned around and around, "No, don't separate from Yue!"
He ran back and forth in the cave, and his huge body brought up a gust of wind, causing the surrounding objects to sway slightly.
His scarlet eyes were filled with fear, and his gaze moved panickingly between Xia Yueke and the cave exit.
His lips were trembling constantly and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He looked completely helpless.
Suddenly, Qing Yan seemed to be stimulated by something and rushed to Xia Yueke.
His movements were somewhat reckless, and he grabbed Xia Yueke's wrist and said, "Come on, Yue, let's go!"
He roared loudly, his voice echoing in the cave with unquestionable determination.
However, besides anxiety, there was also a hint of stupidity in his eyes, like a wild beast that only knew how to follow its instincts.
Xia Yueke followed his steps and said anxiously:
"Qing Yan, wait, we have to wait for Qian Jingyao, maybe he can find a way."
Qing Yan ignored her and did not stop at all. Instead, he pulled her to run faster.
He said in a muffled voice:
"No, he will stop me. Don't wait for him."
A hint of stubbornness flashed in his eyes, and his steps became more and more rapid, as if he was running away from something terrible.
Xia Yueke staggered because of his pull and almost fell down several times.
But she knew Qingyan's personality. Once he made a decision, it would be difficult to change it.
She could only follow closely, hoping Qian Jingyao could understand their situation.
The three little guys who stayed there looked at each other. They looked at Qing Yan and Xia Yueke's figures going away and exchanged glances with each other.
Duzi said hesitantly:
"We...we should go back. If we are discovered to have been sneaking out for so long, the father and mother beasts will be worried."
Although Juanjuan and Rongqiu showed reluctance in their eyes, they still nodded.
So they turned and walked towards the tribe.
At this time, Xia Yueke seemed to realize something. She stopped and looked back, only to see three small figures walking away.
"Duzi, Curly, and Fluffy!"
Xia Yueke shouted loudly. The three little foxes stopped when they heard the voice.
Xia Yueke ran towards them quickly, her eyes filled with reluctance and worry. "You're going back, right? When you get back, you must take good care of the father and mother beasts, okay?"
Duzi wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded vigorously:
"Keke, we get it. You and Qingyan should be careful too!"
Juanjuan also came up and said, "Keke, if there is a chance, we will find a way to help you."
The ball of fluff pulled the corner of Xia Yueke's clothes and said in a baby voice:
"Coco, we will miss you. Be well in the outside world! Got it?"
Xia Yueke touched their heads and said with a smile:
"I will miss you too, go back soon."
Looking at the backs of the three little foxes leaving, Xia Yueke's eyes became moist. She knew that after this separation, she didn't know when they would meet again.
And fortunately, she had these three little cubs, otherwise she might have packed up Wu Ya, Chu Qingchen and Qiu Xing's two father beasts and taken them away.
