"I...I know."

Chinatsu said with a guilty conscience.

She still knew this.

What made her feel guilty was that she knew it clearly, but she still ran away secretly.

"Actually, when I first picked you up, I didn't mean to ask you to be my partner or give birth to offspring for me. I just wanted to save your life. Then something unexpected happened, and I told you about it.

That day I went out hunting and came back to find that you had left. I was thinking that you probably didn't like me or even hated me.

You are so thin that it is obvious that you have no partner to support you. But even so, even though we have mated, you still chose to leave. So with the idea of not disturbing you, I did not go looking for you.

As long as we don't tell anyone about this, no other orcs will know. If we don't have the mark, we can't be considered a successful couple, and it won't affect you."

Xuan Qi said this seriously, and then continued.

"Why did I come to you later? Because you were pregnant. I felt it. I was very shocked at first because reproduction is not easy, and you got pregnant after we only mated once.

When I felt the power of blood carefully again, I found that there were actually three kinds of blood power. I was shocked at the time. Not only was I shocked, I was also very scared.

So I immediately packed up my things, went hunting, and then came back to look for you."

Chinatsu was a little surprised. So this was what he was thinking at the time.

"Why are you afraid?"

Chinatsu was puzzled.

Xuan Qi chuckled at her question.

The reason had been stated long ago, but she had forgotten it.

"I was worried that you would die. Have you forgotten that the Black King Snake clan is very powerful? Even the cubs still in the belly need to absorb energy every day, and this energy is replenished by the food you eat.

Moreover, you are pregnant with three babies, so the amount of energy absorbed is enormous. If you cannot replenish the energy, your own energy will be absorbed and your life will be in danger.

The absorption capacity of a cub around thirty days old might not be that terrifying, but it will become stronger as it gets older. How can you, a female without a husband and pregnant with a cub, support yourself? That's why I came to find you right away."

After Xuan Qi finished speaking, he turned Qianxia's head and made her look at him.

He looked at her seriously and sincerely and said, "Xia Xia, you feel that we haven't spent much time together, that we don't understand each other, and that I only chose to be your partner because of Zi Zi. You think I'm just fulfilling a responsibility, not because I love you, so you're uneasy and afraid, right?"

Maybe...yes.

Chinatsu nodded.

"To be honest, I didn't think too much about it at the time. I just knew that you were pregnant with my baby, and I had to take care of you and protect you. Your affairs were the most important things, and nothing was more important than you.

I used to live alone and had no contact with any females. You are the only one.

Speaking of which, I was the one who made the decision to do the marking. I was going to ask if you were willing, but you fainted at the time, and I was very worried. The witch doctor also said that we should become a couple as soon as possible so that the mark of the beast can nourish you, so I just said I would do it.

Xuan Qi paused for a moment, then he said with some sadness: "I had already thought about it at the time. If you don't want me, then at least after you give birth to the baby safely, I will find a wizard to perform a ceremony for us..."

The further he talked, the quieter his voice became.

He actually didn't want to leave her at all.

Feelings can be cultivated, but he was afraid that she didn't want him.

Chinatsu understood what he meant, but she couldn't put it into words.

In general, he wanted to be good to her and take care of her, and she was number one in his heart.

Orcs' emotions are straightforward and cautious.

It can be said that he came to find her and take care of her because of Zizi, but he did not take care of her and love her simply because of Zizi.

He took good care of her daily life and even paid attention to her favorite tastes.

She never said what she liked to eat or what kind of meat she liked to eat.

But he noticed it.

Chinatsu felt that she was being unreasonable.

She was already partnered with him, so there was no point dwelling on this.

He was so meticulous and careful in taking care of everything for her, and he could even say that he would fulfill her every request.

What is she picking on?

Even if he doesn't love her, what else can she say since he has done this?

And having the mark of the beast is equivalent to her holding half of his life. Isn’t that enough?

Of course it is enough.

"Xia Xia, I don't know how to put your mind at ease. I can only tell you that since I've chosen to be your partner, I've chosen to protect you at the cost of my life.

If you are happy, I am happy. If you are sad, I am sad. If you die, I will not live. Do you understand what I am saying?"

Xuan Qi looked at her gently and seriously and said.

To be honest, he was very anxious and wanted to express his feelings, but he didn't know how to say it.

It was true that he came to her because of Zizi in the beginning, but he also really wanted to live with her, not just because of Zizi.

Why isn't it love?

Does it count?

As he thought about it, Xuan Qi felt sad for himself.

His sudden sadness made Chinatsu panic.

"I know, I know. I understand. I...you...don't be sad. We didn't spend much time together before, but now we're a couple. It's not impossible to get married first and fall in love later. I can feel your love for me."

Chinatsu said in a panic.

Yes, if there is no emotional foundation before, it’s not impossible to get married first and fall in love later.

Besides, Xuan Qi's situation, converted to the 21st century, is equivalent to a super rich second-generation man who is about meters tall, super handsome, and has a great figure. He pampers and takes care of you, gives you whatever you want, and is afraid that you will get hurt every day.

Just like that, he doesn't love you, can you accept it?

Nonsense, of course!

But since they can pamper, care for and worry about the child getting hurt, is it possible to say that there is no love?

Of course that's impossible!

Suddenly, Chiharu understood.

She is just being too picky.

This is the world of beasts, and the beastmen's feelings are so pure. Once they have made a choice, it means they are willing to give everything to the other party.

Since everything has been given to her, it is really unnecessary for her to worry about whether he loves her or not.

Qianxia put her arms around his neck and said in a gentle voice, "I'm sorry, I was just being overly sensitive. Don't be sad. You've protected me at the cost of your life. Of course you love me."

Xuan Qi hugged her back, resting his head on her shoulder, a tear falling silently...

No one knew how panicked he was inside, and he didn't know how to explain his emotions.

He chose her, so how could it not be love?

What kind of love does she want?
