He Jiaojiao knew that Mo Ran was doing this for her own good, so she didn't say much and just nodded obediently.

Originally, He Jiaojiao wanted to stay with Mo Ran for a while longer, but her stomach had begun to protest, so Mo Ran had no choice but to roll her up with his tail again and send her back to the entrance.

"I'll come down to accompany you after I finish eating!"

He Jiaojiao shouted into the dark cave and then jumped away.

Looking at He Jiaojiao's playful back, Mo Ran's loneliness that he had been feeling for a while was swept away. It turned out that Jiaojiao had not forgotten him, but had always remembered him.

When she returned to the first floor, she saw that Zi Yi had already prepared food. All the food was already placed on the wooden table that had been prepared earlier. He Jiaojiao walked over without thinking.

"Wow, there are baked potatoes today!" He Jiaojiao reached out to take some, but was stopped by Ziyi. "What's wrong?" He Jiaojiao looked at Ziyi with some confusion.

"This is still a little hot. Drink some broth first. The broth is already cold!"

Zi Yi calmly pushed the cooled broth in front of He Jiaojiao. He Jiaojiao didn't notice that Zi Yi's expression was not right, and immediately sat down and tasted it carefully.

After finishing a bowl of broth, He Jiaojiao put the wooden bowl back on the table. Only then did she see the other food on the table. Zi Yi hadn't touched a single bite.

"what happened?"

He Jiaojiao looked at the dazed Ziyi and felt very strange. Big Tiger has always been a sunny and cheerful boy, and rarely shows such a lonely expression. Did something happen that she didn't know about?

"Jiaojiao, am I really useless?" Ziyi's voice lost its usual cheerfulness, instead filled with deep remorse. "How about Jiaojiao, you should choose a strong orc as your partner in the tribe! I..."

As he spoke, Zi Yi's eyes turned visibly red.

"What happened? Ziyi, why do you have such thoughts?!"

He Jiaojiao panicked and hurried over to hold Ziyi's hand, asking with concern.

"Mo Ran is hatching eggs now and can't always accompany you. I'm just a four-star orc and there's no way I can protect you alone. I'm afraid..."

He Jiaojiao immediately understood that Zi Yi must have heard the conversation between her and Mo Ran just now, otherwise he would not have suddenly become like this.

"Who said that? My big tiger is also very powerful. You are the most powerful orc in the White Tiger Tribe!" He Jiaojiao raised her little face with a very sincere expression.

"But compared to Mo Ran and Chi Yan, I..."

He Jiaojiao put a finger on his lips, stopping him from saying anything else. "I know you're worried that you can't protect me alone while Mo Ran hatches the eggs. It's okay, we can just stay in the tribe and play from now on! We'll go out after Mo Ran hatches the snake cubs."

Everything was fine at first, but after hearing what He Jiaojiao said, Ziyi felt even more upset and even buried his head.

He Jiaojiao then realized that what she had just said was a disguised admission of Zi Yi's incompetence. In the animal world, you could say your partner's cooking wasn't tasty, but you could never deny their ability to protect you.

"Zi Yi, let me ask you!" He Jiaojiao held her face and asked him to look into her eyes. "What if we go out one day and I'm in danger? What will you do?"

"I will protect you at the cost of my life!" Zi Yi blurted out without thinking.

Hearing such an answer, it would be a lie to say that she wasn't moved. He Jiaojiao's eyes were sore and she kissed Zi Yi on the corner of his mouth. "You are willing to risk your life to protect me. For me, you are enough."

"Zi Yi, we don't have to care about how strong other people's fighting abilities are. After all, everyone has different talents. As long as I think you're good, isn't that enough?"

Looking at He Jiaojiao's sincere eyes, Zi Yi's heart softened and he couldn't help but hug He Jiaojiao in his arms.

"Jiaojiao, thank you!"

For males in the animal world, the approval of their partner is more important than anything else.

Since He Jiaojiao doesn't mind his low ability, what else should he care about?

"Eat it quickly, or it'll get cold!"

He Jiaojiao picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and handed it to Ziyi's mouth. Perhaps because the rainy season was approaching, the temperature dropped sharply as soon as the sun set. Although it was not very cold now, it was already quite cold for He Jiaojiao.

Zi Yi opened his mouth flattered and ate the meat. He accidentally touched He Jiaojiao's hand and found it was a little cold, so he quickly covered He Jiaojiao's hand with both hands.

"Jiaojiao, go sleep with Mo Ran tonight!"

We were just eating, why are we suddenly talking about sleeping again? Although she didn't know what Zi Yi wanted to do, He Jiaojiao still nodded in agreement. After all, this was an agreement she had made with Mo Ran before.

After eating, Zi Yi sent He Jiaojiao down and then quickly returned to the ground.

Thinking of He Jiaojiao's cold hands, Zi Yi felt very annoyed. Why was he so careless? It was already very cold at night, but Jiaojiao was still wearing such thin clothes. He should have prepared animal skins in advance.

Zi Yi picked out a few animal skins that were piled in the corner overnight, sewed a longer animal skin skirt and a robe-like garment, and then tied it around the waist with an animal skin belt.

Zi Yi spent almost a sleepless night before he finally finished making the clothes. Looking at the finished product, Zi Yi imagined how it would look on He Jiaojiao and couldn't help laughing.

Just then, He Jiaojiao came up from the basement and saw the new animal skin skirt in Ziyi's hand.

"Is this made for me?"

He Jiaojiao ran over happily, took the animal skin skirt and started trying it on.

"Try it on and see if it fits!" Ziyi said, pointing to a pile of new animal skin skirts and gowns next to him.

Just now, He Jiaojiao only saw the one thing in Ziyi's hand, but now seeing the whole pile, her face suddenly darkened. "Did you stay up all night making these?"

Zi Yi panicked immediately. He didn't know what he had done wrong to make He Jiaojiao's expression change so suddenly. He stammered, "I...I saw that your hands were a little cold yesterday, and I was worried that you would be cold..."

Before Zi Yi could finish his words, He Jiaojiao rushed over and hugged his thin waist.

"Silly, just sew one piece first and then we can work on the rest. How can you stay up all night to do this?"

It turned out that she was concerned about herself. Zi Yi, who was extremely flustered just now, finally relaxed at this moment. He smiled and rubbed the top of He Jiaojiao's head, "It's okay, I'm not tired, I'm just worried that you will get sick."

In the beast world, even a simple cold or a simple herbal remedy could kill someone, so it was understandable that Zi Yi was worried.

"What an idiot!" He Jiaojiao smiled, walked to the side and picked up a glass of water. While Zi Yi was not paying attention, she threw a pill into it and then brought it to Zi Yi, "Drink some water!"
