Chapter 98 Qing Yan is jealous
Qing Yan was stunned, his face full of confusion, and his thick eyebrows were twisted into knots.
"Yue, what is this, a cuckoo taking over a magpie's nest?"
He scratched his head and looked at Xia Yueke with a confused expression.
"Oh, it's just taking up its space. Forget about that for now, just catch it."
Xia Yueke said anxiously.
Qing Yan immediately forgot about the previous question. He carefully placed Xia Yueke on a high rock and used his big hairy hands to clear away the gravel and weeds around her before saying:
"Yue, be good, I'll go and catch you!"
Then he ran towards his prey in a hurry, raising a cloud of dust.
The prey was so frightened by the sight of such a huge creature that its legs became weak and it could only stay where it was, trembling.
Qingyan caught it easily. The prey was like a small toy in Qingyan's big hands.
"Qingyan, you are awesome!"
Xia Yueke cheered on the high rock.
"Hey, Yue, just be happy."
Qingyan smiled foolishly.
"Qingyan, go clean up the cave again! Put some vanilla in it. This prey's den must be stinky, and I don't want to smell it!"
Xia Yueke covered her nose and said with a frown.
Qingyan was not far away. After killing his prey cleanly and efficiently, he made two "Ao" sounds and started to move.
He first used a thick branch to pick out all the debris in the cave, and threw the dead branches and leaves far away.
The cave was a little damp, with water droplets seeping out of the stone walls and dripping down.
There were some scattered bones and furs on the ground, emitting a unpleasant smell.
"Qingyan, you have to clean up, otherwise I won't stay here."
Xia Yueke shouted loudly.
"Okay, Yue, I will."
Qingyan responded while busying himself.
Then he found some herbs nearby, scooped them into the cave in handfuls with his huge hands, and spread them on the ground.
The fragrance of vanilla gradually spread, diluting the stench.
Xia Yueke was waiting boredly. She swung her legs and smiled at Qingyan's busyness, thinking to herself:
Fortunately, Qingyan is an obedient guy and has the potential to be a bodyguard!
Xia Yue's eyes curved in a funny way, and they were full of pride.
She thought to herself: Not bad, Qingyan is powerful and handsome, and it would be a great pleasure to have him as her bodyguard.
With him around, I won’t have to worry about encountering any danger. I’ll also have food, drink and a comfortable place to live!
Qing Yan had almost finished cleaning the cave, so he ran back to the rock, gently picked up Xia Yueke, and walked towards the cave.
"Yue, we can go in now. It smells delicious inside."
Qing Yan said with a smug look on his face, his scarlet eyes sparkling.
"Really? If it still stinks, I'll hit you with my little fist."
Xia Yueke frowned slightly, and her little nose twitched cutely, just like a cute little rabbit. Her pretending to be fierce look was not intimidating at all, but rather full of playfulness.
As soon as he entered the cave, Xia Yueke looked around carefully.
The dome of the cave is very high and irregularly round with some peculiar patterns on it. Some parts of the cave wall are convex and some are concave, forming natural niches, like small rooms.
Occasionally there are some sparkling small crystals in the niche, reflecting colorful light in the fragrant scent of vanilla, like twinkling stars.
"Oh, Qingyan, look at how big this cave is! It will be our cozy little home from now on! You big guy, please be careful. Don't bump your big head against the rock wall. If you get a big bump, I'll be heartbroken."
Her voice was soft and tender, with a hint of concern.
Qing Yan chuckled and moved his huge body carefully, "Yue, I will be careful. This will be our home from now on. I won't destroy it."
Suddenly, a small bat flew down from the top of the cave and passed by Qingyan's nose.
Qing Yan was so scared that he screamed "Ah" and his body shook violently, almost throwing Xia Yueke out.
He waved his arms in panic, "Yue, there's a monster, a flying monster!"
Xia Yueke was a little dizzy from being swayed, but she still smiled with her eyes curved into crescents, "Qingyan, you big idiot, that's a bat, look how scared you are, hehe, you are so big, but you are afraid of such a small bat, how cute."
Qingyan must have slept for too long and didn’t even know what a bat was!
Qingyan's face flushed red as he muttered:
"It suddenly flew out. It was so scary."
He gently put Xia Yueke down, then took out the previously processed animal skin from the corner and began to spread it out carefully.
His thick fingers were now extremely nimble, unfolding and flattening the hides one by one, carefully placing the hairy side upwards, muttering to himself:
"Yue won't feel cold if she sleeps on it. It's soft and comfortable."
After laying it out, he also spread a thick layer of leaves and herbs on the animal skin and patted it, "Yue, you sleep here, it's very comfortable."
Qingyan said as if asking for credit, his eyes full of anticipation.
Xia Yueke skipped over and lay down. "Mm, it's so comfortable, Qingyan, you're awesome! But you have to guard the cave entrance at night. If anything comes in, I'll be scared. I feel at ease with you around."
After all, there was a wild beast here just now, which means there must be more nearby. She didn't want to be woken up by a wild beast in the middle of her sleep.
Qing Yan nodded repeatedly, "Yue, you can sleep without worry. I'm here, and nothing can get in."
After saying that, he walked to the entrance of the cave in a heroic manner and sat down.
After a while, Xia Yueke sat up and waved to Qingyan, "Qingyan, come here."
Qingyan heard the call and ran over like a big dog that only heard the command of its master, his eyes full of concern, "Yue, what's wrong?"
Xia Yueke took out a beautiful stone from her pocket. The stone glowed softly in her little hand.
"Look, this is what I took from Yaoyao Cave earlier. Let's put it here as a lucky stone for our little nest."
As soon as Qingyan saw the stone, his originally bright eyes immediately dimmed a little, his face was full of unhappiness, and his mouth was almost pouting to the sky.
"Yue, you even want to use Yao's for this! I can also find stones for you! Humph!"
As he spoke, he stamped his feet angrily, and the ground seemed to shake.
Looking at Qing Yan's appearance, Xia Yueke couldn't help but burst out laughing. She reached out and touched Qing Yan's big head.
"Okay, don't be like this. Qian Jingyao is also one of us. He's not here now, so just treat this stone as him!"
Qingyan took the stone reluctantly, muttered, walked towards the wall of the cave, and placed the stone in a small groove.
As he placed the stones, he muttered something in a very low voice:
"Put this thing away from Yue. This way, I will be closest to Yue!"
