"What are you doing? What's in here?"
"This is for Lin Qiu. I want Lin Qiu to open it."
Ling Yun stopped Qing Yuan, but Qing Yuan ignored his obstruction and handed the bamboo tube to Lin Qiu.
The bamboo tube was sealed and no one knew what was inside.
But Ling Yun didn't think much about it. After all, Qing Yuan would never harm Lin Qiu or get anything dangerous.
It was in a bamboo tube, probably something like honey.
Lin Qiu said, "Qingyuan, I've made it very clear to you before. I hope you won't pester me anymore." She thought for a moment and said more emphatically, "What I hate most are males who pester me relentlessly."
Qing Yuan had heard Teng Ning talk about Ling Yun and Song Mu's past with Lin Qiu, and did not believe what Lin Qiu said.
Seeing that Lin Qiu was hesitant to take it, he opened the lid of the bamboo tube himself and said, "Xiao Qiu, look what I brought you."
Qing Yuan put the bamboo tube in front of Lin Qiu as if he was presenting a treasure.
More than a dozen shiny black snakes were entangled with each other in the bamboo tube. Because they suddenly saw the light, the strength and amplitude of their twisting became stronger.
Lin Qiu's eyes widened subconsciously, and after a long time, he screamed in fear.
"ah--"
Lin Qiu only thought about running after she came to her senses. She retreated in a hurry and twisted her ankle, almost falling to the ground. Fortunately, Song Mu behind her supported her in time.
"Xiao Qiu, are you okay?"
Only when Song Mu stepped forward did he see clearly what was inside the bamboo tube. He frowned, held Lin Qiu in his arms, and slid along her back.
"It's okay, it's okay..." Lin Qiu was shocked at the beginning. There was nothing scary about the curved snake, it just made people feel nauseous and cold.
Ling Yun knocked the bamboo tube to the ground, and the next moment his fist landed on Qing Yuan's face.
From Lin Qiu being frightened to the bamboo tube being overturned and himself being beaten, everything happened so fast. Qing Yuan felt a stinging pain on his face and was stunned.
He subconsciously fought back, and Ling Yun and Qing Yuan both took several punches from each other.
"Get out of here!" Ling Yun grabbed Qing Yuan by the collar. "Don't dare show up in front of Xiao Qiu again!"
Ling Yun didn't know why Qing Yuan did this, but at this moment he even wanted to kill Qing Yuan.
Qing Yuan couldn't understand why things had turned out like this. He looked at the frightened Lin Qiu behind him, knowing that he was wrong. He weakly pulled Ling Yun's hand off his collar: "Lin Qiu, I'm sorry..."
After saying that, Qing Yuan walked away embarrassedly.
Ling Yun quickly dealt with the bamboo tube and the snake. Lin Qiu swallowed hard, "Is this some kind of custom on the grasslands? Giving something like a female as a gift?"
Ling Yun threw the dirty things far away, then came back and said, "What a broken custom."
Song Mu had lived in Qing Yuan's tribe before and had never heard of such a custom.
When he traveled before, he had never heard of such a bad thing happening in other tribes.
"Is he doing this on purpose because Xiao Qiu rejected him?"
Ling Yun was still angry after thinking about it, so he chased Qing Yuan and fought with him again. When he went home, his whole face was covered with bruises.
But Lin Qiu was heartbroken: "Why don't you just go and warn him? Why did you get yourself into this state?"
"Xiao Qiu, give me a kiss." Ling Yun moved the wound on his face closer.
Lin Qiu gently kissed Ling Yun's face: "Let me apply some medicine for you, and don't worry about him from now on."
"I'll kick him out tomorrow. If he dares to hurt the females in the tribe, the tribe will definitely not let him stay."
Ling Yun obediently put his face in front of Lin Qiu, letting Lin Qiu take a good look at him and feel sorry for him.
"That's up to you. Don't move. Let me clean your wound first."
"Xiao Qiu, blow~"
Lin Qiu blew on Ling Yun's wound again. Ling Yun couldn't help grinning, and then he let out a "hiss" sound because the wound was pulled.
Song Mu: "It's due."
"Hmph." Ling Yun rolled his eyes. This kid was just jealous of him.
"Have you asked him why he gave this to Xiao Qiu?"
Ling Yun was still angry when he talked about this: "I was really pissed off to death by Tan Yuan."
"What does this have to do with Tan Yuan?" Lin Qiu was puzzled as to how he was involved.
"Don't mention it. Qingyuan heard from someone that you and Dongxue are close, so he went to ask Tanyuan about your preferences. Tanyuan told him that you like snakes, so he dug up a tube of them last night."
Lin Qiuyi thought: "He is also on your and Song Mu's side, so don't be angry with him."
Ling Yun could figure out why Tan Yuan lied even if he used his knees to think.
"This kid should at least say something reliable when he's talking nonsense. Why would he mention something as disgusting as a snake? No, I have to beat him up too. This kid..."
Tan Yuan should take half the responsibility for Lin Qiu being frightened this time.
Lin Qiu said, "Forget it, forget it. Don't worry about it. I'll talk to Dongxue. Tan Yuan is doing this for you, so don't get into a fight with him."
Lin Qiu is no longer afraid now, but she feels a little disgusted when she thinks about it. It's all because Qing Yuan is too close to her. From time to time, Lin Qiu seems to see a ball of snakes entangled with each other in front of her eyes.
"That's fine too, let the female teach him a lesson!"
Ling Yun was really confused. Did Tan Yuan want to deal with Qing Yuan or Lin Qiu?
Qing Yuan also realized that he must have been tricked by Tan Yuan.
He found Tan Yuan and asked, "Why did you lie to me?"
"What did I lie to you about?"
"Xiao Qiu doesn't like Qu Snake at all!"
"Maybe I remembered it wrong. Sorry, except Dongxue, I don't remember other females so clearly." Tan Yuan looked innocent. Looking at Qingyuan's bruised face, he knew what had happened.
Qing Yuan clenched his fists, angry but unable to refute.
We can only blame him for trusting others too much!
Tan Yuan is definitely in cahoots with Ling Yun and the others.
He walked away angrily, and halfway through, someone behind him called out to him, "Tan Yuan and Ling Yun have a good relationship. You're asking him the wrong question. You should ask me instead."
Qing Yuan turned around and saw an unfamiliar orc.
"I'm Qiu Hui, and I'm also Dongxue's male."
When Qing Yuan heard that Qiu Hui and Tan Yuan were a family, he didn't want to pay any attention to him.
Qiu Hui said, "Tan Yuan and Ling Yun are the same. They are very stingy and don't like other males to join them. I just got together with Dong Xue, and he is targeting me everywhere at home. You are even more miserable. Ling Yun and Song Mu will not let you in easily."
Qing Yuan raised an eyebrow when he heard this: "I was wondering why Tan Yuan wanted to mess with me. Turns out he's in cahoots with Ling Yun and Song Mu."
"That's why you should ask me. They are all old and are wary of us."
Qiu Hui and Qing Yuan walked arm in arm towards Qing Yuan's cave together.
