Chapter 93 Qing Yan's Touch
As soon as these words were spoken, the orcs who were still hesitant were suddenly awakened as if by a gust of wind. The confusion in their eyes instantly dissipated, and was replaced by incomparable determination.
Their rough fur trembled slightly with the ups and downs of their emotions, and low growls came from their throats.
"Yes, that's definitely the case. We are not orcs who repay kindness with enmity. Just let him leave our tribe."
A burly orc took a step forward, his broad chest heaving violently, each breath carrying a heavy breath.
His eyes were as sharp as torches, fixed on Qing Yan's back. There was a cold and hard light in his eyes, showing his unquestionable determination at the moment.
The surrounding orcs also responded, and the noisy voices echoed in the tribe, as if they were about to break through the sky.
Xia Yue, who was not far away, could hear their discussion clearly, and those words were like sharp blades stabbing straight at her.
Her eyes suddenly widened, and there seemed to be two burning flames in them, full of disbelief and anger.
That look seemed to see through these ungrateful guys.
Her face flushed red with excitement, her brows were tightly furrowed, tears welled up in her eyes, the ugly faces of the orcs were reflected in the crystal tears, but she stubbornly refused to fall. That was her last stubbornness, she didn't want to show her vulnerability in front of these people.
"How could you do this? He just saved you!"
Xia Yueke's voice was tearful yet extremely loud. Her small body stood straight, as if she was defending some precious treasure.
Xia Yueke was unusually serious, his gaze sweeping over the orcs like a torch. His gaze seemed to have substance, and wherever it went, the orcs seemed to be under a spell of immobilization.
The orcs she saw lowered their heads, not daring to look directly into her eyes that seemed to be able to see through souls, but just moved their feet uneasily.
Xia Yue didn't want Qing Yan to be driven away by them in such a miserable state.
She rushed over and held Qingyan's hand tightly with her slender but powerful little hands. She held it so tightly, as if she wanted to transfer all her strength to Qingyan.
Then, without looking back, she pulled Qingyan towards Qian Jingyao's cave, with determination in every step.
Qian Jingyao stood not far away, watching all this quietly. There seemed to be a clear spring hidden in his deep and bright eyes, clear and gentle.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile.
His long, bony fingers rested casually at his sides. A gentle breeze blew past, lifting a few strands of his silver hair, but it did not disturb his composure at all.
He was not surprised at Xia Yueke's reaction at all, because he always knew that whoever was nice to Keke would be twice as nice to him.
In his eyes, Xia Yueke was emitting a fascinating light at this moment, and he just admired her quietly, his eyes full of pampering and satisfaction.
Qing Yan was pulled by Xia Yueke and stumbled along the way.
He was tall and burly, exuding a wild power.
The long green hair flew freely behind her like a burning green flame, and every strand of hair exuded unruly.
His face had sharp lines as if carved by a knife. Under his high nose bridge, his lips were slightly pursed with a hint of nervousness.
And those scarlet eyes, like a deep pool of blood, had a dazed look in their confusion. He looked at Xia Yueke's profile like an ignorant child being dragged by an adult to hurry on the road. His eyes were dazed and confused, but his heart seemed to have thousands of threads entangled, with mixed feelings.
Xia Yueke could clearly feel the warmth from the small hand that was tightly held by his big hand. That warmth was like a ray of light shining into his dark and cold heart.
It brought a subtle warmth to his heart, which was as cold as the frozen earth in winter, but his dull face showed not only confusion but also a bit of helplessness.
When they arrived at the cave, Qing Yan was stunned for a moment, then he realized it and gently broke free from Xia Yueke's hand. His movements were clumsy, as if he was afraid of hurting her.
He turned to face Xia Yueke, his eyes as deep as a dark pool. His scarlet eyes were now like a whirlpool of blood stirred by a storm, with complex emotions surging in them, as if there were countless small whirlpools stirring.
"Yue, you shouldn't have a conflict with them because of me. They are already prejudiced against me."
His voice was a little hoarse, and there was a hint of subtle emotion in his words, as well as a hint of stupidity as if he didn't know what to do in this situation.
He slowly squatted down, his movements were slow and a little stiff.
After squatting down, he looked Xia Yueke in the eye. "I am an evil... beast. This is what they have always known. You don't have to change their mind for me."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, which was trembling slightly. His fingers were long and bony, and he clumsily wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of Xia Yueke's eyes. After wiping, his hand still stopped in mid-air, not knowing where to put it.
Qing Yan stood up, his movements still somewhat dazed. He looked outside the cave, "But still, thank you. No one has ever protected me like you have."
His figure seemed somewhat lonely in the shadow of the cave, but there was a hint of silliness in that loneliness, as if he didn't understand why he had fallen into such a situation.
But his eyes were more determined than ever, as if he suddenly had some kind of mission.
He secretly vowed not to let Xia Yuke suffer more harm because of him. Although he was not quite sure what to do now, his dazed expression showed his unquestionable determination.
Xia Yueke sniffed, her eyes filled with stubbornness. "I don't care what they think. In my eyes, you are not an evil beast. You saved them, but they want to drive you away. This is their fault."
Qingyan scratched his head, his eyes a little evasive.
"But...it's normal for them to be afraid of me. I look scary anyway."
"No!"
Xia Yueke put her hands on her hips and said, "Appearance doesn't mean anything. You have a kind heart, and that's what matters most. I won't let them bully you."
Qing Yan looked at Xia Yueke, his eyes slightly reddened, "Why are you so nice to me?"
"I have always been alone. No one has ever cared about me like this..."
Xia Yueke walked forward and took Qingyan's hand, "Because we are partners, partners should protect each other."
Xia Yueke felt that since Qingyan followed her, and she was not a heartless woman, she must treat him well!
The corners of Qing Yan's mouth trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back and just held Xia Yueke's hand tighter.
A glimmer of tenderness that he had never seen before flashed in his eyes, as if at this moment, all the malice in the world could no longer hurt him.
