Chapter 255 Cloak
Luo Cihe finally stopped laughing, cleared his throat, and said mysteriously:
"This treatment requires an extremely rare herb called 'Rejuvenation Grass.' This herb grows on cliffs in extremely cold places, often guarded by ferocious ice beasts."
Xia Yueke widened her eyes and said in surprise:
"So dangerous! Is this 'Rejuvenation Grass' really that magical?"
Luo Cihe nodded, closed his folding fan, and said seriously:
"Of course. This grass not only strengthens bones and muscles, but also has miraculous effects on male sexual problems. However, it is extremely difficult to pick, and not many orcs have succeeded so far."
Long Xiaoyu on the side suddenly spoke:
"How about I give it a try? I'm free anyway, so I might as well stretch my muscles."
Qian Jingyao frowned and retorted:
"No, it's too dangerous. It's not worth the risk to cure an unrelated orc."
Long Xiaoyu waved his hand nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of? I'm a high-level orc. Those ice beasts may not be my match."
Just as the two were arguing, Qi An suddenly said softly:
"I do know a place where there might be 'Rejuvenation Grass'. It's not too far from our tribe, and the danger level is relatively low."
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Qi'an, and Xia Yueke asked in surprise:
"Really? Qi'an, don't lie to us."
Qi An smiled slightly. "When have I ever lied to you? I'll go get that grass tomorrow. It won't be dangerous for me at all. But Keke, how are you going to repay me?"
Xia Yue smiled and gave Qi'an a big kiss on the face.
"Well, thank you very much! There will be a big reward tonight!"
The next morning, at daybreak, Qi'an set out alone to look for the "Rejuvenating Grass".
Along the way, Xia Yueke's enthusiastic look last night kept appearing in his mind. The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and his steps became lighter.
When he arrived at that secret place, after some twists and turns, Qi'an finally succeeded in picking the "Rejuvenation Grass".
In the evening, Qi'an entered the tribe and saw Xia Yuke looking out the door from afar. When she saw Qi'an, her eyes lit up instantly.
"Qian, you're finally back!" Xia Yueke said in a soft voice, her eyes full of concern and joy.
Qi An smiled and handed the "Rejuvenation Grass" to her, "Thank you for fulfilling your mission. I spent a lot of effort to pick this."
Xia Yueke took the herbs, examined them carefully, and then threw herself into Qi'an's arms, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck. "You're amazing, Qi'an! I knew you could do it."
Qi'an's body stiffened slightly. He didn't expect Xia Yueke to be so enthusiastic, but he soon relaxed and gently put his arms around her waist.
Xia Yueke raised her head and stared at Qi'an with blazing eyes. "Tell me, how can I thank you properly?"
After saying that, she stood on tiptoe slightly, and her warm breath sprayed on Qi'an's cheek.
Qi'an's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously, "You...you have already given the reward."
Xia Yueke blinked, pretending to be confused, "Oh? But I don't think it's enough."
As she spoke, she slowly brought her lips closer to Qi'an.
Qi'an couldn't take his eyes off Xia Yueke's delicate and tempting lips. The moment her lips were about to touch his, he closed his eyes for some unknown reason.
When their lips touched, time seemed to stand still. Xia Yueke took the initiative to deepen the kiss, responding to Qi'an passionately.
Qi'an's hands tightened unconsciously, holding her tighter.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
A cough was heard. It was Long Xiaoyu who couldn't eat the grapes.
He looked at how Xia Yueke treated Qi'an and muttered, "If I had known earlier, I would have learned everything, even the knowledge of herbs. Let's see what you can compare with me!"
Xia Yueke heard this and poked Qi'an. The two separated. Xia Yueke wiped her face and complained:
"Long Xiaoyu, who asked you to disturb us?"
Long Xiaoyu smiled, "I'm just afraid that you might do something excessive and hurt the baby in your belly."
Qi'an's face darkened, "It's not your cub, why are you more worried about it than the cub's father?"
Long Xiaoyu froze and said without any modesty, "Tsk, the cub will definitely call me father beast when he is born anyway!"
Qi An smiled coldly and said in a low voice:
"A male beast that's not even Koko's mate wants to jump the rank and become Koko's father? Are you dreaming?"
Long Xiaoyu was speechless and furious. If he had known this would happen, he would have been with Xia Yuke sooner! How could he let them act so arrogantly in front of him?
Long Xiaoyu turned around and left in frustration.
As soon as he left, Xia Yueke immediately handed the herbs to Lu Lei. Lu Lei looked at the herbs in her hand and was moved to tears. "Xia Yueke, I really don't know how to thank you. You have done so much for me..."
A few days later, Lu Lei found Xia Yueke, her face filled with smiles. "Xia Yueke, this is amazing! My partner's illness is really cured. We...we are going to have our own baby soon!"
After hearing this, Xia Yueke was also sincerely happy for her, "That's great, Lu Lei! This is really great news."
Then Lu Lei held an exquisite wicker box in her hand, which was carefully decorated with colorful feathers and small animal bones. It was obvious that a lot of thought had been put into it.
"Female Xia, this gift is a token of my gratitude to my partner and me. I really don't know how to thank you and your partners. If it weren't for you, I can't imagine where I would be right now."
Lu Lei said this and handed the box to Xia Yueke.
Xia Yuke opened the box curiously and saw a cloak made of soft animal skin inside. The cloak was embroidered with exquisite patterns. Those patterns were embroidered with silk threads of various colors. There were beasts symbolizing strength, as well as flowers and plants with auspicious meanings.
Not only that, the edge of the cloak is inlaid with a circle of round pearls, emitting a soft glow under the sunlight.
"This... is so exquisite, Lu Lei, you are so polite!" Xia Yueke couldn't help but admire, gently stroking the cloak, his eyes full of surprise.
Lu Lei explained with a smile:
"This hide is from a rare beast my partner and I hunted. It's exceptionally warm and has been specially treated to be incredibly soft. We spent several days searching for those pearls in a hidden river near our tribe. We want to give you the best of everything."
Xia Yueke was deeply moved and hugged Lu Lei tightly, "Thank you, Lu Lei, I love this gift so much."
"Oh right, Xia, the females of our Deer Tribe are hosting a banquet. We hope you can come and attend. They all welcome you very much."
Lu Lei invited.
"Ah? You're still holding a party?"
Lu Lei smiled. "Yes, this is a unique custom of our tribe. We hold a banquet almost every month, and all the females are present! We have friendly exchanges with each other to prevent the females from becoming too unfamiliar with each other."
"After all, the tribe leader doesn't want to live together for several years without even knowing who the other party is. That would be a huge joke!"
