Chapter 239 There's Always Someone Who Doesn't Understand
Ruan Xiyue was almost completely lost in the little fox's sweet whimpers, unable to extricate herself.
The voice was like a soft feather, gently brushing against her heartstrings, making her involuntarily intoxicated by it.
Long Ze coughed lightly, breaking the brief silence: "There are still dozens of lightly injured orcs. Do you want to rest for a bit before using your healing ability?"
Long Ze's voice was deep and cold, yet it was not hard to hear his concern for Ruan Xiyue.
Qi Heng seemed to sense Ruan Xiyue's exhaustion, snuggled closer to her, and wrapped his fluffy tail around her waist, as if to ward off the cold.
Ruan Xiyue's face flushed slightly, like a wife caught red-handed by her husband, looking somewhat embarrassed.
She waved her hand and said casually, "Let's treat another twenty and then rest, otherwise we'll waste our energy."
Long Ze didn't say anything more, but just stood quietly to the side, watching her focus on using her healing abilities on twenty lightly injured orcs.
When she finally stopped, Long Ze lifted Qi Heng out of her arms without hesitation and tossed him aside.
His movements were filled with an undeniable possessiveness, as if he wanted to pluck all the hair off Qi Heng's neck.
Then, Long Ze picked Ruan Xiyue up and strode towards the makeshift tent.
Ruan Xiyue leaned against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and gradually felt her eyelids grow heavy, and drifted off to sleep.
After she had finally healed all the orcs, Longze looked down at her and asked softly, "Do you want to go back first, or should I carry you back?"
After thinking for a moment, Ruan Xiyue finally decided to let Long Ze carry her back.
After all, her ice-based abilities were no longer a secret, so hiding her whereabouts had lost its meaning.
The Red Fox tribe will find out about all this sooner or later, but by the time they realize it, the merger of the Cheetah Lion tribe will probably already be a done deal.
Moreover, Xian told her that the construction of the inner city was nearing completion.
The city walls and watchtowers have been repaired, and the orcs are busy building houses in the inner city.
Thinking of this, Ruan Xiyue couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation. This time next year, she would already be living in Beast City!
She reluctantly bid farewell to Jiu Chen and, together with the orc team led by Long Ze, embarked on her journey home.
Along the way, Ruan Xiyue lay on Long Ze's broad back, feeling the warmth emanating from beneath his scales.
She couldn't help but ask, "Which tribe do you think we should absorb, the fox tribe or the dog tribe, and have them move to the old site of the cheetah tribe?"
Long Ze was silent for a moment, then asked in return, "What? Judging from your friendly attitude towards Qi Heng, I thought you would choose the Spirit Fox Tribe."
Ruan Xiyue chuckled softly, gently poking his hard dragon scales with her finger: "You rarely get jealous, it feels so novel!"
Long Ze sneered, his voice carrying a hint of danger: "Hmm, I'll wait until you give birth to your cubs in about ten days, and then I'll let you experience what it's like to have a very jealous beast husband."
Ruan Xiyue didn't take it seriously, and instead playfully tugged at his dragon beard: "Okay! But before that, you have to take another pill."
Long Ze raised an eyebrow, his tone slightly teasing: "So you want me to suffer first, and then reward me with yourself?"
Ruan Xiyue's smile became even brighter:
“You’ve advanced, A-Ye has advanced, and Jiu-Chen should be close to it too. Xia Wei-Er called me a couple of days ago and said he’s advanced as well. If it were up to your criteria, I’d have to reward myself many times over.”
Long Ze fell silent, then suddenly quickened his pace. He murmured to himself, "What if I insist on being different from them?"
Ruan Xiyue lay on top of him, gently kissing his dragon scales, her voice tender yet firm: "You were never the same as them."
Long Ze's mood seemed to improve somewhat, and he then brought up another matter: "When you came back from the Red Fox Tribe, you helped some wandering beastmen from the Yan Beast Organization. Do you remember?"
"I remember," Ruan Xiyue nodded. "Did they bring you any news?"
"Well, the dragon-race orcs have contacted the Yama Beast Organization, asking them to help find the dragon-race orcs. They hope we can go to Xiyu Beast City in the spring." Long Ze paused and asked, "Do you want me to go?"
Ruan Xiyue sat up, looking straight ahead, her tone tinged with helplessness: "Whether I want you to go or not, you'll go, right?"
Long Ze chuckled, a hint of amusement in his voice: "They seem to be looking for dragon beastmen to select a beast husband for their young clan leader."
Ruan Xiyue raised an eyebrow, her tone slightly teasing: "What? Are you trying to make me jealous, or do you really want to go and see?"
There was a hint of provocation in Long Ze's voice: "What if I said I have both?"
Ruan Xiyue gently patted his dragon scales, her smile widening even more: "Then go ahead, go scout ahead for our cubs. I've heard that the dragon race has a lot of ridiculous requirements! I don't really want the cubs to go back to the dragon clan with them. It's good for you to go and check things out first!"
Long Ze saw that Ruan Xiyue really didn't care about the Dragon Clan choosing a husband for their young clan leader, but he still didn't want Ruan Xiyue to have any other misunderstandings one day.
He said directly to Ruan Xiyue, "Their young clan leader only wants to keep the strongest male dragon to breed cubs. But don't worry, I won't allow any female other than you to even glance at me."
Ruan Xiyue couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"You really nip any factor that could affect my mood in the bud! How can I possibly be jealous? My silly husband."
Long Ze chuckled softly and increased his flying speed. The wind carried away the words on his lips: "I know jealousy hurts, how could I bear to see you suffer?"
The wind whistled past her ears, and Ruan Xiyue hugged him tightly, feeling this unique warmth and sense of security.
She heard Longze's murmured words, but she did not respond.
She knew that no matter how many unknown challenges lay ahead, Long Ze would always stand by her side, and that was enough.
Meanwhile, Xia Weier, along with his guards, covered in blood, rushed from the Spirit Fox Tribe toward the Red Fox Tribe.
Didn't the Beast King think that the couple had too soft and gentle personalities?
Then he'll cause trouble for the Beast King, letting him see what it means to be ruthless when he doesn't act, but deadly when he does!
He had already caused quite a stir in the Spirit Fox Tribe. But these elders and chieftains not only refused to expose the black witch doctor who taught him the life-stealing technique from his mother, they even dared to lecture him.
Tell him to bring the other cubs of Ruan Xiyue's spirit fox bloodline back to the spirit fox tribe.
Xia Weier was so angry that he almost lost his temper.
They acted like Xia Weier's maternal grandparents, seemingly well-intentioned, but actually wanted Xia Weier to persuade Ruan Xiyue and Qi Heng to have more cubs, preferably by selecting a few more beast husbands from the Spirit Fox Tribe!
Xia Weier didn't waste any words with them. He suddenly attacked and killed all the elders and clan leaders of the Spirit Fox Tribe who were in the council hall at the time!
