Chapter 1219: Half-orc (2)
“Pfft!” Feng Da couldn’t help but laugh when he heard the great elder’s words. He knew that the great elder must have thought of the second elder of the Yao family. However, the second elder of the Yao family was different from this little Beastie!
“What’s so funny? of course, children need to find their mothers.” Master ning rolled his eyes at the crowd.
“Yup! Are you his nanny now?” The first elder laughed and teased.
“Of course I don’t count, this is what I want to give to Xue ‘er.” Master ning’s eyes were spitting fire as he roared. After he finished speaking, he threw the little beast in his arms to Leng ruoxue and said to the little beast,””Little guy, you will follow her from now on. She will dote on you.”
“Really?” The little Beastie’s face was filled with disbelief. Ever since it opened its eyes, it had never seen its parents. The other Beastie in the forest hated it, ostracized it, and always wanted to bully it. If it wasn’t for its terrifying talent, it would have died long ago. Therefore, it found it hard to believe that someone would be willing to take it in.
“It’s true. ” Leng ruoxue replied helplessly. It was hard for her to reject such a young man.
When the little Beastie heard Leng ruoxue’s words, its dark and clear eyes flickered with tears. Its little nose sniffled, and it was so touched that it was about to cry.
“Little guy, since your mother is missing, you can stay with us for the time being!” Leng ruoxue looked at little Beastie’s pitiful state and coaxed it with heartache.
“Yes.” The little Beastie nodded its little head, and a little smile appeared on its little face.
After everyone had their breakfast, they continued on their way. However, with the presence of the soul-gnawing beast, a small native, Leng ruoxue and the rest had taken fewer detours in the forest. Furthermore, the little beast knew where the best herbs and ores were.
Leng ruoxue and the others had returned with a full load after spending a few days in the deepest part of the forest. However, master ning did not look too happy because he realized that he had made a mistake. He had given the little beast to little Xue ‘er, but it seemed to have fulfilled their wishes. They had done nothing else other than picking herbs and mining for the past few days. When he thought of this, he felt depressed!
“Godfather, don’t be depressed. Tomorrow, let Xiaoxiao take us to the most dangerous place here.” Leng ruoxue looked at master ning’s bitter expression and said helplessly. Xiaoxiao was the name she had given to the soul-gnawing beast because even if it was an adult, it would not be much bigger than it was now.
“Girl, ignore him. He’s just bored. He’ll get better if no one cares about him.” First elder said in understanding. Tsk, don’t think that he didn’t know what this old thing was thinking. Didn’t he just feel that he had been given the cold shoulder these days?
......“You’re the one who’s bored to death, old man!” Master ning shouted angrily.
“Who said that? I’m so busy!” The first elder said with a smile.
“Look at how smug you are.” Master ning was very angry. He couldn’t bear to see this old thing’s smug look. What should he do?
“Alright, stop quarreling. Let’s get ready to eat.” Leng ruoxue laughed helplessly. These two old foodies would only quieten down when they heard that it was time to eat. However, they would also quarrel as they ate.
“Eat! I want to eat!” Before master ning and first elder could say anything, Xiaoxiao, who was lying on Leng ruoxue’s shoulder, rushed to say. She even looked at Leng ruoxue with a drooling face, almost drooling.
AI! Another little glutton. Leng ruoxue sighed helplessly. This little thing might look small, but its appetite was surprisingly big. As long as it saw food, it would obediently do whatever it was told to do. With regards to this, she was extremely speechless. It was fortunate that this little fellow was with them now. Otherwise, if it had fallen into someone else’s hands, wouldn’t it be in trouble?
“Why do you only know how to eat?” Master ning said unhappily. This little guy was now everyone’s new pet, and it always fought with him for food, so he now regretted bringing it back. Wu…If he had known, he would have left it outside and let it die on its own. He couldn’t help but think with a bad heart.
“I’m hungry! I’ve never had a full meal since I was born!” Xiao Xiao said with tears in her eyes. Her pitiful appearance immediately caused everyone to feel sorry for her.
“It doesn’t matter. Xiaoxiao, if you like it, just eat it! We can afford it!” Green peach was the first to console him.
“Yup! That’s right! It doesn’t matter how much Xiaoxiao wants to eat. There are so many of us here, we can’t afford to feed a little baby like you!” Cuizhu also said.
“You guys just spoil it! Hmph!” Master ning was furious when he saw everyone comforting that evil, cunning little thing! However, he would not admit that he was jealous of that little fellow.
“It’s still small! Children should be in pain. ” Lu Tao could not help but ask.
“Hmph!” Master ning was so angry that he stopped talking.
“Alright, let’s go and prepare the meal!” Leng ruoxue looked at master ning, who was throwing a childish tantrum, and chuckled.
After dinner, Leng ruoxue asked Xiaoxiao about the forest.
“Xiaoxiao, how many places here are dangerous for you?” Leng ruoxue asked curiously. The day this little fellow came, it had told her that there were a few places here that were very dangerous and it did not dare to go. Thus, it had brought them to places that it thought were very safe.
“There are three!” Xiao Xiao frowned as she thought.
“What kind of place is it? tell us!” The great elder urged impatiently.
“I don’t know. I’ve never been there before, but my gut tells me that it’s very dangerous, so I always go around it.” Xiaoxiao said, a little embarrassed.
“Uh!” Everyone was speechless. This little guy had never been there before!
“Beasts are born with an innate ability to sense danger. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to grow up safely. Since Xiaoxiao doesn’t know the situation there, let’s go and see for ourselves tomorrow!” Leng ruoxue chuckled. Many beasts did not have their parents by their side to protect them when they were born. Hence, this required them to have some special instincts. Otherwise, they would have long become food for other beasts.
“Yes.” Everyone nodded and went to rest.
The next day, they followed Xiaoxiao’s guidance and arrived at one of the dangerous places that Xiaoxiao had mentioned.
