Chapter 458: The Beast World's Charmer (23)
Thinking becomes slow.
The body also becomes extremely tired.
When the ropes were untied, Su Moqing saw the marks on Qi's body from the ropes where he had struggled, and she couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in her heart. She rushed over and hugged the person she had been thinking about, and Qi also reacted belatedly.
The man raised his hand and touched her long hair.
"It's fine."
As Qi expected, he planned to let his tribe kill him when he woke up for the second time.
Rather than being half dead like this.
It would be more glorious to die as a leader.
The surrounding tribesmen didn't dare get too close. After all, they had seen what the leader and the infected tribesmen looked like at night. The tribesmen of the northern tribe were secretly on guard, and they were also very worried.
I'm afraid the leader will lose control.
Qi didn't say anything, but just whispered to Su Moqing to stay away from him.
He was afraid that he would lose control and hurt her.
Su Moqing shook her head and tightened her grip on his hand, using her attitude to show that she didn't want to leave. Qi lowered his head and pursed his lips, and could only let her do what she wanted, trying his best to stay conscious.
The people of the northern tribe were silent along the way.
They didn't even have time to rest, and took advantage of the noon hour to advance at full speed, rushing to the sacrificial tribe before the infected people regained consciousness.
Deep in the forest.
The sacrificial tribe was hidden by lush foliage, with verdant willow branches hanging down. Neatly crafted wooden houses, each with exquisite workmanship, also came into Su Moqing's sight.
The person standing guard at the tribe's gate.
He was wearing a retro Western-style robe. Su Moqing was a little stunned for a moment and subconsciously rubbed his eyes.
She thought...
Everyone was wearing animal skins.
After washing her clothes, she left them unworn because she had gained weight after giving birth and her original clothes didn't fit her well.
Now.
When Su Moqing saw the clothes worn by the people from the sacrificial tribe again, he felt an inexplicable sense of disharmony.
The other party is like a person from the Middle Ages.
She herself...is more like a primitive person.
However, what shocked Su Moqing was not this. After the people from the sacrificial tribe saw them coming here, the tribesmen in charge of guarding took the initiative to make way for them.
"Please come in, the Saint Lady is in the back garden."
They moved out of the way without a word.
Without any precautions, they directly let the people of the northern tribe pass. This also surprised the tribesmen and Su Moqing. Didn't they say that they didn't want to have contact with people before the sacrifice?
They walked in with trepidation.
Back garden...
Su Moqing never expected to hear this word from someone of this era.
She felt a little complicated.
"What's the back garden?"
"It's the place behind the house where flowers are planted. Maybe it's called the back garden because it's full of flowers."
"So that's how it is."
Flowers like these can't be eaten, and they almost all die in winter. Besides looking pretty, they're useless. Why plant them? The people of the northern tribes couldn't understand.
Qi was still conscious, but he didn't know if it was an illusion. Since arriving at the sacrificial tribe, he felt that he was not as tired as before.
Not just him.
Several other infected tribesmen felt the same way.
The northern tribe members walked around the ritual house and headed towards the back. The first thing they saw was a field of flowers in full bloom. The vibrant colors dotted the landscape, adding more life to the otherwise monotonous green.
The members of the northern tribe were stunned.
They saw a slender girl in a white dress amidst the flowers. Her long, beautiful hair, as clear and smooth as white crystal, cascaded down from her delicate shoulders like the Milky Way.
The warm afternoon sun shines brightly.
Adorned in her beautiful, clear and bright almond-shaped eyes, her skin, as soft and delicate as snow, is as alluring as a rose covered in morning dew.
A delicate and graceful female.
Her figure looked very thin and fragile, definitely not meeting the tribes' definition of a high-quality female.
However.
When this scene appeared in their sight, it was like a frozen picture, as if time had stopped at this moment.
The people of the northern tribe couldn't help but hold their breath.
He was afraid that his abruptness would disturb the person in the painting.
She was wearing clothes they had never seen before, neither rough animal skins nor slightly smoother animal skins, but elegant and soft clothes they had never seen before.
Su Moqing looked stunned.
Qi beside her was also slightly stunned.
The people of the northern tribe had never seen such a soft and slender woman. For a moment, it was as if they were deprived of the ability to speak. In this brief silence, they were unable to organize their own words.
It was Qi who came to his senses first.
"My dear Saint of the Sacrificial Tribe, I'm sorry to bother you."
Although he was amazed and moved by her, he knew that beneath this beauty as cold as winter lay unpredictable dangers.
The moment I saw this woman.
At the moment of astonishment, his intuition also sounded a warning bell. The first time he saw her, it was not only the admiration for her appearance that overwhelmed him, but also the undeniable aura.
Seemingly the easiest to be overlooked.
But the natural confidence and composure in her every move were not something that could be faked, and beneath this calmness, Qi felt a sense of oppression.
In conjunction with.
His consciousness became much clearer.
Su Moqing was so stunned that she forgot what to say for a moment. This was the first time she had seen such an image of a beautiful girl that was in line with modern two-dimensional anime, and she was a real person.
Hear strange sounds.
The Northern Tribe members and Su Moqing also came to their senses. Su Moqing felt even more uneasy. He could not help but clutch his fur coat tightly, feeling somewhat at a loss.
And Qi noticed her emotions.
Then he covered her with his broad and warm palm, held her hand tightly, and protected her behind his back.
Su Moqing originally felt insecure, but the man's action made her startled, and then her heart became warm.
"Are you here seeking treatment?"
Qiao Xi turned and looked at them.
Her gaze paused slightly on Su Moqing, then looked at the infected tribesmen.
"yes."
Qi did not avoid the oppressive feeling she brought.
Instead, he calmly met those clear, beautiful eyes, which seemed to possess the power to bewitch people. Even a calm and indifferent gaze without any ripples could make one's heart tighten unconsciously.
Then affected by the atmosphere.
I gradually felt nervous.
None of the northern tribesmen dared to look at Qiao Xi, but Qi met her gaze with a calm demeanor. He had nothing to fear, just a half-dead existence.
His lover is willing to stay by his side.
In order to survive, no matter how great the risk is, it doesn't matter.
Under the calm, there were undercurrents. Qiao Xi's gaze swept over the members of the Northern Tribe. She raised her hand, and the members of the Northern Tribe instantly became like frightened birds, their expressions becoming noticeably nervous.
Although they are numerous.
There was only the Saint on the opposite side.
But this is the base camp of the sacrificial tribe after all. Who knows if there will be other tribesmen here?
They were very nervous.
However, the Saint Lady just raised her hand and tapped them one by one in the air. The tribesmen who were tapped by Qiao Xi instantly felt a strange cool feeling.
A feeling of heaviness and fatigue in the body.
They seemed to be gradually carried away by this strange, cold feeling. Their expressions also became somewhat strange, and they subconsciously lowered their heads to look at their bodies and arms.
The tribesmen nearby noticed their actions.
I couldn't help but ask nervously: "What's wrong? Do you feel unwell?"
The treatment hasn't even started yet. What if they become dazed and dull again here?
"No, I think... maybe it's okay."
A tribesman next to him said this hesitantly. He clearly felt that his body was no longer tired, and there was no annoying voice in his mind.
Everything calmed down.
It seems to be back to normal.
"ah?"
The people of the northern tribe were puzzled: "???"
This was just a brief encounter; they hadn't even had direct contact with the Saint. A brief encounter, a nod from the other party, and that was it?
Everyone in the Northern Tribe looked shocked.
They looked at each other, feeling a little bit at a loss as to what to do.
Until the saint over there nodded slightly as if to confirm their thoughts and said.
"It's fine, you can go back now. As long as you don't get scratched by the demons, you won't get infected."
Demon...
Qi lowered his eyes, thinking of the people in the western tribe. When he raised his head again and cast his gaze towards Qiao Xishi, his determined eyes looked seriously at the mysterious and elegant saint in front of him.
"Is there any hope for those people in the western tribes who have been infected?"
"have."
The Saint smiled softly, her eyes curved. "If you can send the infected people to me, they can all be cured."
Qi's pupils widened in surprise.
He was moved.
The feeling he experienced after being infected with the disease was the most real. He was still conscious, but he was in a daze and had no control over his body.
It's like watching someone else controlling your body's movements.
And at night.
They completely lost consciousness and had no idea what they would become. If Qing hadn't told him that they were very scary at night, and the tribesmen around him did react in the same way.
There were also scars on his body from struggling against the ropes.
Otherwise, Qi couldn't imagine it.
They had no way to treat this disease, but the holy woman of the sacrificial tribe could easily cure them. And it was free, without requiring them to pay anything.
anyway.
This alone was enough to convince them of the sacrificial tribe and the saint.
"You saved my life and the lives of my people. From now on, as long as you remain the Holy Maiden of the tribe, the Northern Tribe will unconditionally obey all your decisions."
Qi knelt on one knee and paid his respects.
Su Moqing and the tribesmen beside them also quickly followed suit. They were always absolutely obedient to their leader. Whatever the leader said was what they did, and they would not object at all.
The saint looked a little surprised.
But soon, she smiled.
"Well, if it's possible, there is something I need your northern tribe's help with."
Qi raised his eyes and looked at her seriously: "Please speak."
"I hope you can find more infected people and send them to me for treatment. It's best to eradicate this disease as soon as possible. I won't stay here for long."
"good."
Qi was very decisive and agreed without hesitation.
This disease really cannot be delayed.
What's more, he had this plan in mind, which was to capture the infected people in the western tribe and send them for treatment.
Therefore, he decided to take action as soon as he returned to the tribe. So without saying anything to Qiao Xi, he left with the people of the northern tribe after saying hello.
Clarence had been watching from a tree not far away.
Slowly wandering down.
A mischievous smile flashed across his scarlet snake eyes, and in the next second he slowly wrapped part of his snake body around Qiao Xi's wrist again.
"They are quite sensible and behave better than the southern tribes."
Unconditionally obey all decisions of the Saint.
Loyalty only to her.
Without loyalty to the sacrificial tribe, no matter how many times the sacrificial tribe changes its leaders in the future, it will have nothing to do with them, because the only one who has done favors for the northern tribe is Qiao Xi.
This word game is really good.
The leader's words carried great weight, unlike those of the southern tribe, who didn't express much. This northern tribe leader had some grace and skill.
It can be used.
Clarence didn't care. To him, the New World was just a barren and backward land, not worth conquering at all.
Instead, it will divert the strength of the White Snake Tribe.
It's not worth wasting time here. Just treat it as your own backyard, stroll around occasionally, and kill the wild animals here at will.
After all, on the original continent
They are all at the overlord level and have no shortage of people worshipping them.
"Well, he does know how to behave."
Qiao Xi nodded slightly, unable to deny it.
After all, he is the protagonist of the Eastern Continent, so he is definitely different from the leaders of other tribes. Not every male and female protagonist has a serious illness. The plot of Little Black Cat's Heartthrob is relatively normal.
The plot development is a bit weird.
"How are you getting on with your business?"
Qiao Xi lowered her eyes to glance at the snake that was wrapping around her again, and calmly raised her hand to pull away Clarence's tail.
She promised Clarence to stay here.
Correspondingly, it is not like doing things for nothing without getting any benefits.
"There's nothing unusual happening in the forbidden forest yet, but I can sense an ominous aura growing stronger. And the great wizard has expressed his willingness to meet you."
Clarence said, shaking his head.
After he returned to his original continent and dealt with his affairs, he also followed Qiao Xi's instructions to observe and pay attention to the forbidden forest.
Even though it looks fine on the surface.
But it’s hard to say what’s actually going on inside.
Clarence had no intention of entering, but now he could see those strange-shaped, deep red and deep purple flowers outside the forest.
His intuition told him that it would be better not to rush in.
As for the great wizard.
In fact, even though the White Snake Tribe is on duty recently, their own people rarely have the opportunity to see the great wizard.
"Then wait until I finish dealing with things here before going back."
Qiao Xi also collected her thoughts.
Clarence still preferred to appear in his original beast form most of the time. When he heard Qiao Xi say this, he also leaned forward. The scarlet snake core moved in and out, touching the girl's cold cheek.
"Why does the Saint Lady want to meet the Great Wizard?"
"There are some things that need to be confirmed."
Qiao Xi shook her head and didn't elaborate. Clarence knew that he wouldn't get any more answers, so he simply gave up insisting.
"Lady Saint."
"Um?"
"I heard that they reproduce in the New World through intercourse."
"...Who told you that?"
"It's just what the tribesmen saw. They are all a little curious about this behavior. How do you think I should explain this behavior to them?"
"Just educate them about the breeding period and habits of our ancestors."
A man and a snake from the White Snake Tribe engage in a wonderful discussion.
The northern tribesmen who left over there.
After completely getting away from the sacrificial tribe, they finally couldn't help cheering, especially those tribesmen who were infected and then cured. They were surrounded by other tribesmen and rubbed their heads frantically.
"Okay, kid, why don't you do something that will make us worry less!"
"Luckily, nothing happened this time. If you had lost your life, what would have happened to your little one at home? What do you think?"
"I almost cried all night, compensate me!"
Looking at the tribesmen who were laughing and playing together, Qi, who was originally serious, had a rare hint of smile in his eyes.
Feeling such a lively atmosphere.
The same is true for Su Moqing.
But when she looked at the man beside her, she became a little depressed again.
She knew she shouldn't be so spoiling the fun at a time like this, but she just couldn't control her wild thoughts.
Immerse yourself in the joy of the people around you.
Qi didn't notice her depressed mood at first, until he found that Su Moqing had stopped talking. Then Qi came back to his senses from the lively atmosphere and looked at her with some worry.
"Qing, what's wrong?"
There was obvious tension in the man's voice.
He didn't know how to describe this feeling. Every time Su Moqing showed such a little expression, his heart was in a knot. He didn't know why this little person had so many strange ideas.
I also often feel insecure.
Qi was afraid that he had done something wrong, so every time he met Su Moqing like this, he could only try to coax her cautiously and tentatively.
Occasionally you can guess it.
Su Moqing probably missed home, and he wanted her to go back to her tribe, but Su Moqing said she came from a very far place.
I can't go home.
So Qi could only treat her as well as possible, clumsily but hard trying to satisfy her, wanting her to regard the Northern Tribe as her home.
Maybe the hard work paid off.
Su Moqing did smile more often, and began to adapt to the Northern Tribe. But occasionally, she would show an expression like this.
"Didn't you say I was white before..."
Su Moqing turned her head away from him and muttered to herself.
"Yes, I did."
Qi's nervousness was almost written all over his face, but he still nodded and admitted it.
Su Moqing felt awkward when she heard his blunt words. She didn't know how to start, and her words were hesitant.
"Then...then I'm not actually that pretty."
Qi was somewhat puzzled by her attitude. The man looked at her doubtfully and refuted her words seriously and solemnly: "No, I think Qing looks best."
He didn't understand why Su Moqing always said such derogatory words about himself.
But in his opinion.
Su Moqing is the most special. He does not allow anyone to belittle her, not even herself.
There was no time to care about the people around watching.
Qi leaned over and picked her up horizontally, staring at her.
"Qing, can you tell me what happened? Why do you say that?"
Being caught off guard by the man like this, Su Moqing subconsciously hugged Qi's neck. When she met his serious eyes, she felt a little guilty.
I know I shouldn't overthink things.
Qi may not understand, but she just can't help it...
"You used to say I was white, that I was pretty, and so on. Now, isn't the Saint of the sacrificial tribe even whiter than me, and she's prettier too? I can't compare to her at all, um... and the clothes she wears are the same, we're not on the same level..."
He said a lot of chatter.
Su Moqing's lost voice became lower and lower. At the end of her words, she could not help but lower her head, not daring to look at the man again.
She came here.
It was because she was fair and petite that she caught Qi's attention.
But now.
Seeing the saint from the sacrificial tribe, Su Moqing felt a little embarrassed. Her little advantage was nothing compared to the other person.
It gave her a feeling of...
She is a country girl from the countryside, while she is a rich girl who lives a life of luxury in the big city.
She was wearing a simple, tattered animal skin coat she had sewn herself. The wooden house in the tribe was a replica of the one they had built for the rituals, so it had many flaws and wasn't perfect.
They live in neat houses.
She was wearing a robe as precious and elegant as silk, and her beauty was breathtaking. Not to mention that even a woman like her was stunned by her, wouldn't the reaction of a man be even stronger?
Such a comparison.
The difference is obvious.
Su Moqing's inner uneasiness and inferiority were also aroused by this sharp contrast. Qi held her hand tightly at that time, perhaps because he thought she was afraid of being bullied.
But it’s not…
She felt that she was no match for him. Whether it was her abilities or her looks, she felt a bit embarrassed in that situation.
Su Moqing could clearly see the astonishment of the tribesmen.
You can see their admiration for the saint.
Everyone felt that the saint was extremely charming and attractive, with breathtaking beauty and powerful strength to match her looks. She could cure the disease that left them helpless just by raising her hand and nodding.
Even Qi was cured by her.
so……
Su Moqing knew that she shouldn't think that way, but when a person of the same sex who was much better than herself appeared in front of the person she liked, and was favored, respected and treated differently by many people.
She began to feel a little uneasy and a little sad.
She is not such a good person.
There is no outstanding powerful ability.
"Qing, is this what's making you feel uneasy? You still don't understand. You are unique to me, one-of-a-kind and irreplaceable. No matter which female you are, no one can replace you in my heart."
Qi lowered his eyes to look at her and kissed her cheek.
"It's my fault that I didn't have the ability to let you wear beautiful clothes. Even the clothes we are wearing now were designed by you. As the leader of the tribe, I should have been the one leading everyone, but you have always been giving so much for us..."
"You've done a great job. What you've done for the Northern Tribe cannot be replaced by anyone else."
Qi said.
Naturally, the content of their conversation was also heard by other members of the northern tribe.
The males behind him also joined in the commotion.
"That saint is the saint of the sacrificial tribe. Qing, you are the saint of our northern tribe. You are irreplaceable to us!"
Although they were grateful to the saint of the sacrificial tribe for saving them.
But the northern tribe will also repay with actions.
They never thought Su Moqing was inferior in any way, and the voices echoed one after another. Su Moqing's eyes gradually turned red. Until this moment, her heart was completely settled in this big family in the other world, and she felt a sense of identity.
Qi's expression softened as he gently wiped her tears.
"If there's anything we don't understand, feel free to ask. Even though the elders are tough, they all recognize you. They're just unwilling to admit it to your face, fearing losing face, so they'll always argue with you."
"Woo woo... I get it."
Su Moqing clutched his clothes tightly and sobbed.
Alone in a different world, she struggled to fit in, doing everything she could to be recognized. Until now, all her efforts had become the most wonderful reward.
The group returned in a mighty procession.
The northern tribe entrance not far away.
Some soldiers and women who had been waiting for them saw them from afar. The second soldier and Lin, who were leading the group, finally put aside their worry and anxiety, smiled and waved, welcoming them home.
Chief Qi and his infected tribesmen returned safely.
Since then.
The action was carried out with the northern tribe as the leader and the southern tribe as the auxiliary.
They took the lead in launching an offensive against the fallen Western Tribe and its affiliated small tribes, capturing those out-of-control demons one by one and sending them to the Sacrifice Tribe for treatment.
