Back in the cave, Yu placed a stone pot on the campfire, which was bubbling with steam and emitting the aroma of food.

He took out a small animal skin bag from the stone table, carefully poured out some red fruits, and placed them in front of Luo Xi.

The fruits are bright red and emit an attractive sweet fragrance, like rubies, sparkling with an attractive luster under the firelight.

"This is..." Luo Xi picked up a fruit curiously and smelled it.

"These are the red berries I picked especially for you on the outskirts of the Misty Forest," Yu's voice was low and gentle, with a hint of praise. "Didn't you say you wanted something sweet?"

Luo Xi was stunned. She had no recollection of saying this.

However, looking at Yu's expectant eyes, she still picked up a fruit and took a light bite.

The flesh is delicate and juicy, and the sweet and sour taste instantly blooms on the taste buds.

"Delicious!" Luo Xi couldn't help but exclaim in praise.

Yu smiled, as if she had received the best compliment in the world.

"Yu," Luo Xi put down the grilled fish in her hand and looked at him, "You and Falcon, what are you going to do in the Misty Forest tomorrow?"

Yu's eyes paused slightly. He put down the berries in his hand and looked at Luo Qian seriously. "There is a Beast God Mountain in the Misty Forest. Legend has it that if you practice there, you can comprehend the Way of Heaven, break through the shackles of the Ninth Order, and advance to the Saint Order."

Rosie blinked. Saint level? That sounded impressive. "So... you don't want to break through?" she asked, a hint of curiosity in her voice.

Yu was silent for a moment. He raised his head and looked at Luo Xi. His clear eyes were filled with her shadow. He smiled and said in a low and gentle voice, "I don't want to."

"Why?" Luo Qian was puzzled. Isn't being strong a good thing in this world?

Yu didn't answer immediately. He walked to Luo Xi and gently held her in his arms. His chin rested on the top of Luo Xi's head, and his voice was low and hoarse: "My strength is only enough to protect my Xixi."

Luo Xi's heart moved slightly. She felt her cheeks getting hot. She tried to break free from Yu's embrace uncomfortably, but he held her tighter.

She felt her heart beating faster, like a deer caught by a hunter, trapped in the embrace of the rain, with nowhere to escape. She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Yu lowered his head and gently placed a kiss on Luo Xi's forehead. The warm touch, like a warm current, dispelled the uneasiness in Luo Xi's heart. He didn't say anything else, but just hugged Luo Xi tightly, as if holding a lost treasure.

Luo Xi could feel Yu's heartbeat, strong and powerful, beating against her eardrums. She closed her eyes, feeling the warmth coming from Yu, and an inexplicable sense of security surged in her heart.

She didn't know why she felt this kind of...dependence on a man she had only known for a few days. She only knew that in this strange world, Yu was her only support.

After dinner, the rain stopped, and the two walked out of the cave side by side, ready to take a walk to digest their food.

Just a few steps out of the cave, a series of subtle and ambiguous sounds floated over from the dense grass not far away, like some small animal whimpering, or the rustling of leaves in the breeze, with an indescribable rhythm.

Rosie's steps suddenly stopped, and her fair cheeks instantly turned red.

Although she was inexperienced, she naturally understood what the voice meant in such a developed Internet environment.

What's more, she remembered what Yu said before she left this morning...

Now is the orcs' estrus season...

Luo Xi was a little uneasy because of the embarrassment in her heart. She was not paying attention and tripped over a protruding stone. She stumbled and almost fell.

"Be careful." Yu was quick to support Luo Xi.

Rosie's hand subconsciously pressed against Yu's solid chest. Through the thin hide, she could clearly feel Yu's heartbeat, strong and powerful, pounding against her palm. His muscles were tense, like a solid rock, carrying a scorching heat that passed through his palm and into every part of her body.

Luo Xi's heart skipped a beat. She felt as if her palms were burned by fire, tingling and numb.

After they made quite a commotion, Luo Qian didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that the noise coming from the bushes hadn't stopped, but instead...

More excited?

Do these two have some unknown habits?

Don’t you know that this will embarrass others?!

Luo Qian wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. She heard it all. Yu was an orc, and his five senses were more sensitive than hers, so he could hear it clearly.

For a moment, Luo Xi was too embarrassed to look up at Yu's expression. She felt her cheeks were burning as if they were being roasted on fire.

She lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, hiding the panic and shyness in her eyes.

She could feel Yu's gaze falling on her, like a blazing flame, burning her exposed skin.

"Yu, let's...let's go back."

She just wanted to escape from this embarrassing place as quickly as possible.

A low and magnetic chuckle came from above her head, echoing in her ears.

Luo Xi felt even more embarrassed. She could even imagine that Yu must be laughing at her.

She didn't care about the people behind her, and walked back hurriedly, just wanting to escape from this embarrassing place as soon as possible.

Yu watched Luo Xi's fleeing figure, and the smile on his lips deepened. He stretched out his long legs, caught up with Luo Xi in a few steps, and walked side by side with her.

"What's wrong? Why are you walking so fast?" Yu asked Mingzhibang in a teasing voice.

Rosie didn't answer. She just lowered her head and looked at her toes, as if she was the one who had done something wrong.

It really proves the saying that as long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
