Chapter 451: The Beast World's Charmer (16)
There are many orcs coming to the White Snake Tribe.
The various scents mingled together, making even the Black Wolf tribe, with their keen sense of smell, feel a little tired. Not only was there the scent of orcs from other tribes, but also the aroma of exotic beast meat being served on the table.
at first.
When August came here, he didn't pay much attention.
But the moment he came and sat down in his seat.
In that brief moment, he immediately caught a glimpse of a familiar scent. August almost stood up and left his seat to search for it, acting as a conditioned reflex.
"Chief, what's wrong?"
The tribesmen next to him noticed that he looked tense and came over to show their concern.
"fine."
August was silent for a moment, then shook his head, his eyes fading. He lowered his gaze, remained silent, and concentrated on eating his share of the exotic beast meat, but he had already begun to pay attention to that aura.
The smell mixed in with many foods.
If you look carefully, you can notice the difference.
The aura emanating from Qiao Xi was much cleaner and purer, with some subtle differences from the scent of exotic beast meat.
But there are tribesmen whose sense of smell is not as keen.
If you don't observe carefully, you won't notice this subtle difference. August was able to recognize Qiao Xi's breath because, in addition to the pure and rich smell of "food",
On Qiao Xi's body.
There is also a subtle fragrance that is so light that it is almost easy to ignore.
Very unique taste.
Unlike the beastly body odor of most orcs, it was her clean smell.
Auguste would not admit his mistake.
Is she here?
Qiao Xi is in the White Snake Tribe? Was she also invited?
August's heart, which had been quiet, was eager to try again. Once he thought about the possibility of meeting in the White Snake Tribe, he felt joy and happiness from the bottom of his heart because Qiao Xi asked him not to come to the Snow Mountain again.
so.
No matter how much he wanted to see Qiao Xi after he returned.
I still haven't gone to the snow mountain to find her.
August himself knew it was impossible, and he would no longer be so fanciful. But if possible, he still wanted to see Qiao Xi again.
And now…
Qiao Xi is in the White Snake Tribe!
I'm afraid he's here for the banquet too.
As long as August followed the scent, he would be able to see Qiao Xi as he wished, but now he couldn't. He was still the leader of the Black Wolf Tribe and couldn't leave.
However.
When August sensed Qiao Xi's presence, he no longer cared about what was happening around him.
Only that faint breath was lingering.
It was like a soft little hand brushing against his heart, causing it to tremble. August's thoughts gradually emptied out until the noisy sounds around him suddenly became boiling.
The spirits of the White Snake tribe members were high.
At this moment, August was suddenly pulled back to his thoughts.
The sweet, subtle fragrance he was so familiar with gradually grew stronger and closer, and August's breathing almost stopped, and he couldn't help but hold his breath and clench his hands hidden under the table.
...Is Qiao Xi coming?
He thought so.
The excitement of the White Snake people around him was the most intense he had ever seen. August didn't even have the spare time to figure out why these White Snake people were suddenly so excited.
And then in the next second.
It seemed to confirm his thoughts.
The figure of Clarence, the leader of the White Snake Tribe, slowly appeared within everyone's sight. His powerful arms held a beautiful woman in a luxurious robe, her posture both gorgeous and languid.
She is like a gorgeous green lotus on the snowy mountain.
There is a touch of nobility and arrogance in her elegance and holiness, and her beautiful face, which is enough to be called stunning, blooms with incomparable dazzling brilliance with just a little embellishment.
The clear eyes are moving.
A faint smile lingered in her beautiful, clear eyes, as pure and clear as a spring in early spring. Her gaze dropped down, resting on the cheering members of the White Snake Tribe.
And on the members of the small tribe who looked already shocked.
Those small tribes.
I never thought that I would be able to see such a special and beautiful female in the White Snake Tribe, and she was even carried out by Clarence, the chief of the White Snake Tribe.
"She is the saint of our tribe, Qiao Xi."
Clarence, who was handsome and tall, smiled slightly and officially announced the identity of the person in his arms.
And this moment.
Aldrich's pupils suddenly contracted, and the hand holding the wine glass suddenly clenched. The veins on the back of his hand bulged, and even made him unconsciously use excessive force.
The wine glass was squeezed and deformed in an instant.
The sudden drop in the cold low pressure around him didn't even bring the nearby tribesmen back to their senses. The people from the Grey Eagle tribe nearby were all in disbelief.
The shock in their hearts.
They were no less shocked than the Black Wolf tribe members who were stunned like a fool. They recognized Qiao Xi.
August's originally suppressed aura and emotions.
It exploded in an instant.
The members of the Black Wolf Tribe near him sensed the aura of their leader's rebellion and suddenly came to their senses. Before they could hide the shock in their expressions, they could only quickly persuade August to stop.
but.
The eyes of the Black Wolf tribe members were all glued to Qiao Xi.
Why?
Their Lord of Creatures would be here?
After saving them, she left without saying goodbye. They all thought it was a permanent regret. But why did the Living Being become the Saint of the White Snake Tribe?
The patriarch didn’t say that.
Has the living being left for a very far place?
The Black Wolf tribe members had so many questions they wanted to ask that they were initially quite noisy and excited, but now, for the first time, they felt somewhat at a loss.
I don't even know where to start.
The members of the Black Wolf Tribe looked at each other in confusion.
On the other side, the members of the Grey Eagle Tribe were equally restless. Some of them even exaggeratedly wiped their eyes with their hands, subconsciously wondering if they had seen it wrong.
But no.
The being held in the arms of Clairence, the leader of the White Snake Tribe, was indeed the creature who had once saved them.
this……
What is going on?
They have strange looks and very interesting expressions.
After coming outside, Qiao Xi glanced at the tribes present. When she noticed the gazes from the Grey Eagle Tribe and the Black Wolf Tribe, Qiao Xi's gaze paused slightly.
Then he calmly looked away.
Before she was about to leave the cabin, Clarence came over and told her.
The patriarch had to carry her across that road.
Because the Saint's status is special, and her snow-white and luxurious robe cannot be stained with filth. So her actions may be a little offensive, and I can only ask Qiao Xi to bear with it.
What I said...
It seems that there is no suitable reason to refuse.
Therefore, Qiao Xi didn't say anything.
She let Clarence carry her out, and the luxurious robe that was specially tailored for her by the snake clan, which almost dragged on the ground, did prevent her from getting dirty while walking.
only……
The scorching gaze of that area simply cannot be ignored.
Clarence obviously noticed it too.
He looked over and when his eyes met with August of the Black Wolf Tribe, the smile on Clarence's face deepened.
But it really is...
interesting.
What surprised Clarence a little was that Aldridge, whose aura was also unstable and whose face was gloomy and cold, was also unsettled.
Hidden beneath this seemingly peaceful appearance.
A turbulent undercurrent.
There was a brief calm before the storm, followed by a raging flame that almost leveled the place.
Those small tribesmen who were originally celebrating.
Originally, everyone saw Qiao Xi.
Everyone was amazed.
However, they soon felt an even stronger sense of disharmony. The temperature around them seemed to have dropped by several degrees in an instant, except for the members of the White Snake Tribe who were still happily celebrating.
The other two large tribes.
Their expressions were not very good.
The sense of oppression brought by the Grey Eagle Tribe and the Black Wolf Tribe was so strong that the people of several nearby small tribes were trembling.
A little further away.
When he noticed the strange atmosphere at the party, he lowered his voice and quietly communicated with his companions around him.
"You think... maybe they are angry?"
"Huh? Why are you angry?"
The fellow tribesman who was being spoken to obviously didn't understand the situation either, and looked at the two hostile tribes over there in confusion.
The tribesman who spoke first was very proud.
He puffed out his chest, looking proud.
"It must be because they saw the White Snake Tribe's growing strength, and they all felt a sense of crisis. Look, the Saint Lady is such a beautiful female, she's truly fascinating. Even if the Saint Lady didn't have strong power, having such a beautiful female in the tribe is very inspiring!"
His analysis was very logical.
The little friend of the same tribe next to him had his eyes lit up, and he nodded in agreement as if he understood what he said.
"I know!"
Because they are weak, the females in the tribe are also weak.
But after they came out, they found out.
Although there were females in other powerful tribes, those females were almost as strong as them, and they were also very fierce. This was too terrifying, they had never seen such females before.
therefore.
After returning to his tribe, he found the females in their tribe pleasing to the eye more than once.
And until now.
Seeing the Saint Lady in person again, this kind of pleasant feeling was directly raised to a dozen levels, which made them all amazed.
They like such slender and delicate females.
Gentle and beautiful.
Pure and beautiful, such females always make them want to protect each other, but they will not have this desire when facing those very tough and strong females.
Because they are a weak race.
The desire to become stronger.
Subconsciously, males are generally the ones who call the shots, while females in their tribes are responsible for supporting work.
therefore.
When they saw that the females from other tribes were stronger than them, they naturally felt disheartened. They were so devastated that they became withdrawn and had no confidence at all.
Until now.
When they saw Qiao Xi, they were amazed and became very fascinated by such a delicate and gentle female.
Such a fragile person.
I'm afraid she needs to rely on others to survive. Even they may become dependent on such a fragile Saint.
They were still thinking.
If the Saintess the White Snake Tribe found was a fierce and ferocious type, with muscles even stronger than theirs, then they, as males, even herbivores, would feel ashamed.
not to mention.
After evolution, they are no longer just herbivores.
Want to eat exotic animal meat.
In order to become stronger, every male longs to become as strong and powerful as the males in the three major tribes.
They are naturally no exception.
The White Snake Tribe is considered an outlier among the three major tribes. From the outside, it seems that the males are not as strong as those in the other two tribes.
but.
The White Snake Tribe's hunting skills are not weak, but they only know how to strangle, which other orcs cannot learn.
The banquet is in progress.
Clarence still held her sideways, and it seemed as if he had no intention of letting go. Qiao Xi was held in his arms, leaning against his chest, his long, dense eyelashes drooping as he listened to her heartbeat.
"You should let me go."
The girl reminded softly.
The handsome man lowered his eyes and looked at her with a smile upon hearing her words. The halo of the bonfire made the profile of his face look particularly soft, and also added a bit of lingering affection and tenderness to his scarlet vertical pupils.
"Lady Saint, the sacrificial garments will get dirty."
Clarence bowed his head slightly.
He leaned close to her ear, and the words that came out of his lips and teeth were accompanied by an ambiguous and warm breath that fell on Qiao Xi's ears.
Maybe they were afraid that the noise at the banquet would be too loud.
She can't hear what she's saying.
Therefore, when Clarence came over and saw a hint of confusion in Qiao Xi's clear and beautiful eyes, he began to persuade her softly again.
"You don't want to get your feet dirty, do you?"
He held Qiao Xi in his arms and sat at the top seat.
Now, Clarence put one arm around the girl's waist, letting Qiao Xi sit on his thighs, without even a corner of her clothes touching the ground.
Qiao Xi was slightly stunned by his words.
When Clarence saw her confused expression, he thought she was so adorable being so defenseless.
Man's hands under the table.
Taking advantage of her luxurious and complicated sacrificial robe and the cover of the table, he slid down quietly and soon caught a cold white jade foot under the robe.
Qiao Xi reacted.
Then she frowned slightly and looked at him unhappily.
The handsome man noticed her gaze, and he lowered his eyes and chuckled twice. There was a hint of doting in his gentle voice as he gently coaxed the slightly unhappy girl in his arms.
“You didn’t wear shoes because the deadline was too tight, so it wasn’t completed as expected.”
Clarence's deep voice.
There was also a bit of helplessness.
"I'm so sorry, I can only ask you to bear with staying with someone like me for a while."
His narrow eyes were slightly curved.
Those affectionate and tender peach blossom eyes were filled with a faint gentle smile, and they also perfectly captured the expression of Qiao Xi, who was a little angry and annoyed at this moment.
Because the construction period is too tight.
so.
The matching shoes were not yet completed.
The day for the canonization of the Saint was calculated by the tribe's witch doctor, and it would be the best day. Therefore, the timing could not be missed, and there was also the matter of following the procedures.
Originally, Clarence was supposed to carry her for a while.
Can't let this gorgeous and beautiful robe.
On such a beautiful day, it was stained with filth. What must be ensured is that Qiao Xi's pure and innocent body will not be affected.
so.
Clarence's excessive pampering of her also made the two of them look particularly intimate at this moment.
“…”
Qiao Xi didn't say anything else, but turned her head away and didn't look at him.
This insidious and cunning snake knows how to advance and retreat.
It's well-reasoned and has a good sense of distance and measure. At first glance, it seems there's really nothing wrong with it.
Obviously.
Clarence knew it too, so he just pulled her cold feet and rubbed them slightly, then reluctantly let go.
Rich.
The pure breath of 'faith'.
And this pure and spotless body, untainted by filth, exuded a faint sweet and charming fragrance that lingered around Clarence, stirring his ever-quickening, active and passionate heart.
The hot blood began to flow into the body continuously.
How greedy.
The desire for faith and the pursuit of power.
Even just holding her like this.
He could no longer suppress the urge to possess her completely. What kind of changes would this pure aura of faith bring to him after being perfectly absorbed?
In order to alleviate this ever-restless greed.
In order to temporarily quench this urgent thirst for power.
Clarence could only suppress all the dark light in his scarlet vertical pupils and hide it under a seemingly perfect mask.
His hand around Qiao Xi's waist involuntarily tightened a little.
And Qiao Xi was in his arms.
When she noticed the man's arm around her waist tightening, she frowned slightly and looked up at Clarence who was holding her.
The man looked normal.
Seeing nothing unusual, Qiao Xi could only look away, hide the thoughtful look in her eyes, and lean casually in his arms, waiting for time to pass.
The banquet is in full swing.
The gazes focused on Qiao Xi became more and more blatant as time passed.
August drank.
The slight drunkenness made his originally clear eyes begin to be shrouded in a little mist. He picked up the wine glass, drank the wine in the glass, and filled it up again and again.
Maybe it was because I was drunk.
His gaze towards Qiao Xi was no longer restrained. The man with deep features narrowed his eyes slightly and looked unscrupulously across the seats at the girl in Clarence's arms.
"Chief..."
Next to August, a member of the Black Wolf Tribe called out to him in a low voice with concern, wanting to warn him.
but……
They didn't know what to say either.
Although they were relatively slow, they were not completely unaware of anything. For example, they could clearly sense that August was not in a good mood, which was why he drank glass after glass of wine and got himself drunk.
The leaders of each tribe are the biggest drinkers.
not to mention.
As the leaders of the three major tribes, their strong physiques prevented them from getting drunk easily, and August's current behavior was undoubtedly self-destructive.
"Chief, would you like to drink more?"
The members of the Black Wolf Tribe nearby spoke hesitantly.
They didn't know why August was like this.
But it can be noticed.
The change in Auguste occurred after the appearance of the Living Beings Master. So, could it be because of the Living Beings Master?
Or say.
Because Lord Living Being left the Black Wolf Tribe and chose the White Snake Tribe.
Has the patriarch lost confidence in the tribe?
They were trying to guess what August was thinking.
And this is a piece of advice.
August did not stop. His dark and deep eyes stared at the sake in the cup. From the clear wine, he could even clearly see what he looked like at the moment.
Embarrassed.
August knew it too.
If I do this, I will lose the dignity of the patriarch and my manners.
But he couldn't control it.
There is no way to suppress the bitterness in my heart, and there is no way to control the condemnation of myself, as well as the anxiety and self-doubt.
He was thinking—
He couldn't keep Qiao Xi.
He thought Qiao Xi would never leave the snow mountain again, and that she would live in the snow mountain in the future. So even if they would never meet again, it was enough for him to know that Qiao Xi lived in the snow mountain.
Big deal.
Someday in the future when I really miss her.
You can go quietly.
From afar, in the forest at the outermost edge of the snow-capped mountains, I looked out at the towering snow-capped mountains. Even if I would never see her again, knowing that she lived there was enough.
Qiao Xi said.
Tell him not to come to the snow mountain again.
August understood that he still had tribesmen to protect and his responsibilities as the tribe leader. He shouldn't abandon these responsibilities and become so emotional and uncharacteristic.
But he didn't know...
I don’t know if Qiao Xi will choose to come to the White Snake Tribe, and I don’t know if she will choose to become the Saint of the White Snake Tribe.
And now.
She was held in Clarence's arms. As a male, August was well aware of the doting and inflated ambition in that man's eyes. Even if he was slow to react in some areas, he was very perceptive in this area.
Clarence.
It’s definitely not that I have no feelings for Qiao Xi.
I'm afraid he would also want to possess her.
Take away such pure and innocent Qiao Xi, bathe in the pale and quiet moonlight, and spend a beautiful and ambiguous night together.
Many kinds.
The chaotic and confusing thoughts almost drowned August's brain.
He never thought about those things.
He hadn't thought about it specifically, as these were very complicated things for him. But ever since Qiao Xi appeared, he couldn't help but think about her.
There are all kinds of things about her.
Now.
When he saw her again, she was so well-behaved and gentle in Clarence's arms.
August's heart felt as if it had been ripped open by someone, a hideous wound. The blood that gushed out instantly soaked the air, as if his neck had been violently gripped and strangled. The intense feeling of suffocation was so intense that he wished he were dead.
Heart and bone blood.
It was as if there were millions of densely packed ants gnawing at his flesh and drinking his blood.
It hurts a lot.
He looked at the wine glass with a hazy gaze. The noisy and clamorous sounds around him were completely out of tune with him. Even the voices of the Black Wolf tribe members beside him seemed unable to truly reach him.
August stood up with his glass of wine.
He left his seat and walked straight to the upper part.
And this moment.
The atmosphere at the banquet seemed to freeze. The people of the small tribe subconsciously lowered their voices and looked towards Ogest. The members of the Black Wolf Tribe were caught off guard by their leader's sudden action.
They were all stunned for a moment.
The air seemed to quiet down. August stopped not far from Clarence's seat and raised the glass in his hand slightly.
On his stern face.
Those dark and deep eyes were extremely aggressive, with no concealment of their unbridled gaze, greedily looking at the person who was right in front of him and whom he had been thinking about day and night.
"I offer a toast to the Saint."
August's magnetic voice rang out.
There was no trace of respect in his words, and they could even be described as being too bland.
