When Chi Zhuoyan heard the young female praising his good figure, he planned to take advantage of this hot spring bath to show off his figure and complete the "big thing" that had been postponed for more than ten days. Unexpectedly, after the young female made such a fuss, he lost all mood to form a relationship.

He walked ahead quickly with a sullen face.

Chi Zhuoyan had long legs and took big steps, so Yan Qiling, who was two heads shorter than him, had a hard time following behind him.

The guy was shivering from the cold even though he had just finished soaking in the hot springs. He must have been very angry because his mood had just been ruined.

Yan Qiling thought about the request to go out for a walk, and was afraid that it would be a failure. However, she was unwilling to give up, so she hurriedly chased after him: "Zhao Yan, are you okay? How about... go to the witch doctor's cave to have a look..."

Chi Zhuoyan's face turned green and red and he said, "No need."

After saying that, Yan Qiling felt her waist tighten. Chi Zhuoyan had transformed into a beast and grabbed her and flew towards the cave.

Soon, the two arrived at the cave. As soon as they entered the cave, they heard Sang Xue's voice: "You are finally back. I have been waiting for you for a long time..."

"Why are you here?" Chi Zhuoyan said in a deep voice.

"I'm going out to collect herbs and won't be back for a few days, so I'll send the medicinal oil to Qi Ling first." Sang Xue smiled sweetly and handed the medicinal oil to Chi Zhuoyan.

Chi Zhuoyan glanced at Sang Xue's hand holding the medicinal oil and said calmly, "Put it on the stone platform."

Sang Xue wanted to get close to Chi Zhuoyan by handing him the medicine oil, but he just had a gloomy face. Sang Xue pouted and muttered, "I came here with good intentions to deliver the medicine, but you didn't even say thank you..."

Yan Qiling knew that Sang Xue was not talking about her, but was just using this as an excuse to complain about Chi Zhuoyan's cold attitude. She quickly pulled Sang Xue's hand and said, "Sang Xue, thank you! Don't misunderstand Zhuoyan. It's all my fault for being careless just now..."

Before he finished speaking, Chi Zhuoyan's eyes twitched slightly and he said, "It's not safe for you to go out alone to collect herbs. I'll send Dawa and Zhalu to go with you." After that, he pushed Sang Xue out of the cave.

Sang Xue thought she had heard wrongly. When had Chi Zhuoyan ever cared about her so much? She blinked her eyes and looked at Yan Qiling flattered.

Yan Qiling smiled secretly and mouthed "don't forget" to her. Sang Xue nodded and gave her a sweet wink in return.

Chi Zhuoyan stood at the entrance of the cave. With a whistle, two gray peregrine falcons came over.

"Chief." Two tall and strong orcs stood at the entrance of the cave.

"You two should accompany Sang Xue to collect herbs and keep her safe."

: "Yes, Chief."

After giving the instructions, the two transformed into animal forms. Sang Xue jumped out of the cave and accurately jumped onto the back of the gray falcon, smiling and waving goodbye.

Yan Qiling held onto the rock wall at the entrance of the cave, staring at Sang Xue's back, hoping that she would come back soon so that she could escape from this cage sooner.

He just stretched his neck and stared blankly until Sang Xue's back disappeared into a small gray dot, then Yan Qiling retracted his head.

: "When did you two become so close?"

The voice suddenly came from above his head. When Yan Qiling turned around, his way was blocked by a strong and broad chest.

Chi Zhuoyan supported himself with his hands on the rock wall at the entrance of the cave, and his strong arms confined the little female, who was two heads shorter than him, within the small space of the cave entrance.

One step back was the cliff, one step forward was Chi Zhuoyan's chest. Yan Qiling held onto the rock wall and leaned back slightly: "She... treated my injuries and came to see me often..."

"I set your bones and provided you with delicious food and drink, so why aren't you so close to me?" Chi Zhuoyan leaned down and moved a little closer.

Would he be jealous of females? ? Yan Qiling glanced at the half of his heel hanging in the air. If he retreated any further, there would be no way out. Did he have to speak in such a dangerous place and in such a dangerous posture?

The cool breeze swept across her vest, causing her long hair to flutter in the air. Yan Qiling couldn't help but shudder: "Zhao Yan, let's talk somewhere else, it's too windy here..."

"What have you and Sang Xue been talking about during this time?" His tone was gentle, but the low and magnetic voice brought a chill to Yan Qiling's ears.

"No... We didn't talk about anything, just some interesting stories from the past..." Yan Qiling swallowed, and his fingers that were holding the rock wall felt a little numb.

"Really? Nothing else to talk about?" He bowed slightly, and his cold and sharp eyes made Yan Qi feel a chill down his spine.

Just a few words hit Yan Qiling's heart like a drumstick: "Gone... Gone..."

Did he discover something? Did he hear their conversation? She always paid attention to the hole...

Yan Qiling's ears were filled with the sound of her own heartbeat...

"Do you think I'm deaf? Or stupid?" His pupils shrank suddenly, and the coldness came straight from his eyes: "Do you think that by helping Sang Xue get close to me, you will have a chance to escape?"

The next second, Yan Qiling felt a strong hand strangling her neck. As his fingers slowly tightened, a feeling of suffocation gradually came over her.

"You... misunderstood... It's not... what you thought..." Yan Qiling squeezed out a few words with difficulty, and tried desperately to pry open Chi Zhuoyan's fingers with both hands.

Yan Qiling wanted to continue explaining, but the pain and fear made her unable to utter a single sound. She only felt dizzy and her vision gradually blurred...

She couldn't see Chi Zhuoyan's expression, she only heard a few words uttered between his teeth, "It's not what I thought, then what is it?"

The veins on Chi Zhuoyan's forehead bulged, and he growled, "Speak!"

Seeing the little female's body gradually going limp and her breathing gradually becoming weaker, Chi Zhuoyan suddenly loosened his grip and carried her back into the cave.

Yan Qiling fell to the ground, gasping for breath, her eyes blurred by the tears that choked her.

This crazy bird is sick again! ! He strangles people at every turn. Nine lives are not enough for him to strangle people! Yan Qiling only hopes that Sang Xue can find the herbs quickly. That is her only hope to escape.

She covered her chest and panted for a long time before she said with a gasp: "She likes you, I don't want to compete with her..."

: "So you want to run?" Obviously this reason was not enough to convince Chi Zhuoyan.

"I was captured and injured and couldn't move. You helped me set my bones. I was originally very grateful to you... but you lose your temper at the slightest provocation and choke me when you disagree with me. You see, I'm not happy with you at this moment. Sang Xue suggested skinning and burning me. You don't care even if it means I'll lose half my life! How can I fight with her for this half life I just saved?"

Yan Qiling simply said what was on his mind. Lies are easy to detect, but it is hard to tell the truth from the false!

Seeing that Chi Zhuoyan didn't continue to act crazy, he looked at her solemnly, as if waiting for her to continue explaining.

"I am helping her to get close to you, but if I don't help her, how can she eliminate her hostility towards you, and how can she give me medicine oil to heal my wounds? You usually provide me with good food and drink, but I am alone here, without any relatives or friends. What's the difference between staying in this cave all day and being in prison!? You can go out hunting and take a walk every day, but what about me? I can only wait for you to come back here!"

As she spoke, the little female's eyes turned red, her nose also turned red, and tears fell from her eyes. Having endured him for so many days, Yan Qiling was really frustrated, and her tears almost filled up a small shallow pit on the ground...

Chi Zhuoyan looked at the little female's white shoulders trembling with tears, with a few tears hanging on her thick eyelashes. She looked like a pear blossom in the rain, and the anger in his heart seemed to be extinguished by these tears.

: "Don't cry." His sharp long eyes seemed to flash briefly.

"Can't I even cry?" Yan Qiling pursed her lips in grievance. She had just said so much, and this one sentence wouldn't make a difference.

Chi Zhuoyan stood stiffly by the side, trying to coax the little female, but after thinking for a long time he still didn't know what to say.

A long time ago, when he was still a little orc, he saw his father comforting his crying mother...

At that time, my father hugged my mother, put her on his knees, whispered something in her ear, and then untied the thin vines that bound her hands and feet and allowed her to leave the cave. My mother stopped crying, and she never came back afterwards...

He didn't know if Yan Qiling would be like his mother...

After a while, Yan Qiling felt herself being picked up by two big hands, and then she was wrapped in his strong arms. A deep voice fell into Yan Qiling's ears: "If you cry again, I won't take you out for a walk."
