"I don't mean to chase you away..." Su Qianqian said as she walked over, squatted in front of the boy, and tried to pull his hand. "Everyone is waiting for you outside to have dinner together. Hurry up and get up."

“…No.” Mian Tian silently shook off her hand and turned his head away from her.

Seeing this, Su Qianqian sighed deeply and helplessly.

It seems that we have to resolve all the conflicts first.

She was silent for a moment, then said, "The snake skin I picked up earlier...was actually yours, right?"

Hearing this, Mian Tian finally turned around to look at her, but his eyes were cold and filled with mockery. "...I know I'm a cold-blooded snake orc that everyone despises. It's only natural that you hate me."

Su Qianqian: "...I never said I hate you."

"But you threw away my snake skin!"

Hearing the accusatory tone, Su Qianqian hurriedly explained, "I didn't throw it away! I really didn't! I lied to you before. I've kept the snake skin safe. If you want it, I'll give it to you right now!"

After saying that, she was about to open the plane system. After listening to what the mountain cat said, she was worried that the male snake beastman would follow the smell and come here, so she decided to go all out and stuffed the snake skin directly into the storage compartment of the system.

The plane system existed independently of all other planes. She felt that anything placed within the system would be impossible for outsiders to find...

However, Mian Tian held her hand, "...then you keep it for me. If you ever want to kick me out, return it to me."

Feeling the force on her wrist bones, Su Qianqian couldn't help but look at the boy's fingers pressing on her wrist. His knuckles were distinct and his skin was cold and pale. Perhaps it was because of nervousness or excessive force, but the joints were faintly red.

She nodded as if possessed by a demon: "...Okay."

Seeing Su Qianqian agree, Mian Tiancai breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "I'm sorry... Actually, I didn't mean to lie to you. It's just that the first person I saw when I woke up after shedding my skin was you. I was very weak at the time and was afraid they would catch me back, so... I got stuck with you."

"They?" Su Qianqian was stunned when she heard this. "Are you talking about your previous master?"

She couldn't help but think of the injuries on Mian Tian's body, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "Did they abuse you often in the past?"

"...Yeah." Mian Tian nodded silently, but looked away somewhat unnaturally. "They often abused me, branded me with flint, and whipped me... I didn't dare to resist them, so I had to escape..."

"They are so excessive!" Su Qianqian clenched her fists in anger. No wonder Mian Tian was so afraid of being abandoned and always had a cold and indifferent look that kept strangers away. It turned out that he had suffered inhuman abuse in the past.

Thinking of this, Su Qianqian felt even more distressed for the young man in front of her. She couldn't help but hug Mian Tian in her arms and gently comforted him, "Don't be afraid. You are in my tribe now. No one will bully you anymore. If anyone dares to bully you, tell me and I will help you bully them back!"

The girl's scent was as clean as the fine snow in early winter, lingering at the tip of the nose, making people feel inexplicably at peace.

Mian Tian's fingers hanging by his side curled up uncontrollably again.

However, the next second——

"Hey, that's not right!" Su Qianqian realized it belatedly and quickly pushed the person in her arms away, looking at him suspiciously: "Since you have the strength to kill a fifth-level killer, why would those people bully you?"

Hearing this, Mian Tian's expression froze slightly, but he returned to normal in an instant. He lowered his eyes and said, "They used drugs to control me. I can't resist them..."

Su Qianqian still didn't believe it: "Really?"

Is there really such a powerful medicine?

Mian Tian's expression darkened instantly: "I get it, you still hate me. A cold-blooded snake orc like me really doesn't deserve to be trusted. I'm leaving now—"

Seeing the young man about to get up and leave, Su Qianqian hurriedly grabbed him and said, "No, I didn't say I don't trust you. Don't go. I'm wrong, okay? I'm just a little curious about the medicine..."

"Then you... really don't hate me?" The boy suddenly lowered his head and stared at her intently.

Facing those deep black pupils like ink at close range, Su Qianqian's eyelids twitched unconsciously, and she felt an inexplicable irresistible pressure on her body.

This guy didn't even lift a finger when he was on the mountain during the day, yet he destroyed a fifth-level beast with just a single word. We must not make him angry...

She nodded quickly: "Of course I don't hate you. You're so beautiful, I love you so much, how could I hate you?"

As soon as these words came out, the boy's originally cold expression softened at a speed visible to the naked eye. His soft eyes reflected the moonlight shining in from the window, and a tiny glimmer of light appeared. He sighed softly: "...That's good."

There was an inexplicable hint of joy in the boy's clear and low-pitched voice.

……

at the same time.

Shi Yuan and his companions gathered together outside, seemingly discussing something earth-shattering, with an expression of disbelief on everyone's face.

"...You didn't see it. Mian Tian was standing behind Su Mu at the time. His eyes turned red in an instant, and he shouted, 'Kneel Down!' The fifth-level beast was so frightened that it fell to its knees!"

"So powerful?!" everyone exclaimed.

"Yes!" Shi Yuan nodded repeatedly, describing the incident vividly. "He didn't even move a finger, and the fifth-level beast was blown to pieces. It was a terrifying scene, covered in blood..."

"Hey, so scary..." Xiaojiu shuddered after hearing it.

"Of course not! That kid Mian Tian is so awesome!"

Seeing that Shi Yuan was about to continue boasting, Shifang pulled him aside and asked in a low voice, "I told you to keep a close eye on him, so why were you so focused on catching prey? Also, are all the things you said true? Is this Mian Tian really that powerful?!"

"I'm not lying!" Shi Yuan said seriously, "I saw all of this with my own eyes. Mian Tian's strength is definitely above the four great wizards of Wanshou City!"

"He, he is so powerful..." Shifang couldn't help but worry when he heard this. "Such a powerful person, Su Mu is definitely not his opponent. If he..."

"Hey, Shifang, don't worry. That kid will never hurt Su Mu." Shi Yuan patted his shoulder. "You didn't see it. When Mian Tian saw the fifth-level beast attacking Su Mu, his eyes turned red with anger. It was the first time I saw a nervous look on his face..."

When Shifang heard this, he fell silent.

"And..." Shi Yuan added, "If he really had ill intentions towards our tribe, with his abilities, he could have wiped us out with a single wave of his hand. Why would he have to hide his identity, change his appearance, and lurk in our tribe doing such thankless tasks?"

Shifang: “…”

He silently glanced at the room where Mian Tian was, and then walked over decisively.

Seeing this, Shi Yuan quickly grabbed him and said, "Hey, why are you going? I've explained everything clearly, but you still want to cause trouble for him?"

Shifang slapped his hand away and said, "I'll go get them both to come out for dinner. If they don't come out soon, the food will get cold!"

"Oh oh oh, then I'll go with you!"
