"Hey, where are you taking me-"
Ji Xiaoou patted Rhode's shoulder, struggling in his arms.
She didn't know him at all, and didn't have any contact with him. Why did he take her away for no reason
"Be honest!" Rhodes slapped Ji Xiaoou's buttocks rudely, strode out of the house, and said in a very impatient tone, "Female, since you came to our Leopard tribe, you should know our rules .The females in the leopard family are all shared, including you... Don't make such a fuss, haven't you and Renn done it?"
Ji Xiaoou's face flushed instantly, and he panicked a little bit at a loss, "Of course, of course not... I'm Ren's friend, I'm not a female in your clan!"
"Friend? That fellow Ren didn't possess you?" Rhode raised his eyebrows, his whole face was domineering, he asked curiously, and walked to the other side while holding Ji Xiaoou in his arms, "It's just right, just let me be yours." The first male."
Hearing this, Ji Xiaoou's eyes widened, and he patted Rhode's shoulder in a panic, "No! You, let me go!"
It's a pity that her strength is too weak. For the leopard orcs with rough skin and thick flesh, it doesn't hurt at all.
The violent struggle of the girl attracted the attention of many leopard orcs passing by.
Unfortunately, they are also just "notice".
No orcs were willing to come up to help.
Not to mention that this kind of thing is common in the Leopard tribe. The Leopard tribe is a cold, independent, and withdrawn species. The words "meddling their own business" have never belonged to them.
What's more, when this female was brought back to the race by Rennes, she was already stamped with the seal of "Leader Rennes".
Seven days ago, a strong cheetah returned to the race with a dying female on its back.
That night, Ba Tan, a veterinarian from the neighboring family, was invited to treat the female for a day and a night.
Since then, the female has stayed in Wren's room and has not had contact with anyone.
Even though the clansmen were very curious, they did not dare to openly compete with Rennes.
After all... Ren is a beast that has defeated all males in the entire tribe.
Of course, there are some people who don't want to die—
Like Rhodes.
At this moment, the desperate Rhodes was carrying Ji Xiaoou to his house.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Rhode's house, Ji Xiaoou's heart sank continuously, and a wave of despair surged from the depths.
Once inside, she has no chance to escape.
Thinking of this, Ji Xiaoou gritted his teeth, and regardless of the fact that this is a street full of beasts, he took out the Swiss Army Knife from the space, pushed aside the blade, raised it, and stabbed Rhodes shoulder as if he was dead—
"Hiss..."
The sharp blade pierced into the flesh, and Rhodes was caught off guard and took a deep breath.
He turned his head, only to see that the blade was halfway into his shoulder, and blood gushed out from his flesh.
Ji Xiaoou didn't stop, but gripped the handle of the knife tightly and stabbed deeper!
"Damn it..." Rhode grabbed Ji Xiaoou's hand and cursed in a low voice, "You bloody bitch!"
He pulled out the Swiss Army Knife and threw it far away, looking at Ji Xiaoou's eyes with an angry light.
"Let me... down." The moment Ji Xiaoou let go of the handle of the knife, Ji Xiaoou repeated tenaciously, exhausted.
Rhodes sneered: "Dream!"
After finishing speaking, he kicked open the wooden door of his house, grabbed Ji Xiaoou by the waist, and threw her onto the bed viciously.
The reason why Rhodes did this was not only to anger Ren, but also for another important purpose.
When Ren was besieged by the wolves and was seriously injured, all the clansmen thought that he would die. Unexpectedly, not only did he come back intact, but he also became stronger than before.
During this period, the only person he had contact with was this female.
— All this can only be related to this female.
So Rhode guessed that there must be some secret hidden in Ji Xiaoou.
He lowered his body, pinched Ji Xiaoou's chin with his long and pointed claws, and looked her whole body up and down.
The face is thin, the shoulders are thin, the breasts are not plump enough, and there are almost no advantages except for the thin waist and long legs. There is no hair at all on the body, and it is as smooth as a boiled egg that has been peeled off, and it looks like it has not yet reached maturity.
Rhodes couldn't help smacking his lips, and couldn't hide his disgust, "Ren actually likes you?"
Ji Xiaoou was powerless to argue, biting his lower lip tightly with his white teeth, until his lips turned white.
When Rhodes threw her on the bed, his back hit the edge of the bed hard. The wound that had just begun to heal was torn suddenly, causing her face to turn pale from the pain.
Seeing her trembling all over, Rhode thought she was trembling with fear, licking her teeth, and was slightly pleased.
"Why, now you know how to be afraid? Female, where did your courage go?"
Ji Xiaoou opened his mouth and said something.
The voice was as thin as a mosquito, but Rhodes couldn't hear it clearly.
"What are you talking about? Louder." Rhodes raised his eyebrows and asked.
Ji Xiaoou panted, and said very lightly, "I..."
Rhode lowered his head impatiently, pressing his hands on her side, "I can't stand it, your voice is softer than a mosquito..."
The next moment, a teardrop overflowed from the corner of Ji Xiaoou's eye and rolled down her cheek, her voice was almost ethereal.
"It hurts...don't press me..."
…
"boom-"
The door panel was hit hard, broke away from the door frame, and hit the ground heavily.
Ren kicked open the door panel and saw such a scene.
The burly male orc was pressing down on the petite girl, with his face pressed against her cheek, his arms tightly wrapped around her, and there was almost no gap between his bodies.
The girl's eyes were red, her eyelashes were wet, and she looked extremely pitiful.
Ren's face darkened quickly, his pupils were sharp and extremely cold.
Rhode turned his head when he heard the sound, and was slightly shocked when he met his murderous eyes.
He expected Ryan to come, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.
Rhode quickly calmed himself down, curling the corners of his mouth, "Sorry, Ren, I've already enjoyed this female first..."
Before he could finish speaking, Renn, who walked in suddenly, grabbed his neck and lifted him from the bed.
"Rod, do you want to die?"
His voice was hoarse, depressed, and vicious.
Rhodes grinned, not afraid of death, "Ren, don't forget that the female resources in the clan have been shared for generations, and the patriarch is no exception. Why, you are only allowed to enjoy the power of this female, and I am not allowed to enjoy it." A piece of the action?"
Ren's beast claws clasped his throat, and his arms were bulging with blue veins.
"What did you say?"
Rhode chuckled: "Don't think I don't know, the reason why you can recover is not due to this female..."
As soon as the words fell, he was picked up by Ren and slammed to the ground—
There was a loud bang on the floor, and the whole room shook.
Ren stepped on his face and said sternly, "Shut your mouth."
After finishing speaking, he leaned over and picked up the unconscious girl on the bed, and walked outside.
Rhode took a sip of the dirt in his mouth, and sat up unrelentingly: "If I tell the tribe that this female has unusual abilities, guess what the tribe will do..."
Ren couldn't bear it, raised his right leg and kicked him on the shoulder!
Rhode's face twitched, and there was a sharp pain in his shoulder blade—
Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of bones breaking.
Ren said: "Let me hear your nonsense again, and I will tear you apart."
Back in the cabin, Ren put the girl in his arms on the bed.
The wound on the girl's abdomen was bleeding heavily, her entire face was unbearably white, and cold sweat almost drenched her whole body.
Probably because of the lingering fear, Ji Xiaoou's arms were tightly wrapped around Ren's neck, his body trembled slightly, and he refused to let go.
— like a small koala.
Ryan tried to put her down twice, but failed to put her down.
In the end, he simply hugged her and sat on the edge of the bed, avoiding her wound with his palms, and supported her back.
"Sorry." Ren pressed his throat and spoke very slowly, "This will not happen again in the future."
Ji Xiaoou pursed her pink lips and rubbed against his neck, and the thick and long eyelashes swept gently, bringing a piece of moisture.
The girl didn't speak, Ren was a little at a loss.
After all, comforting females has never been the Leopard Clan's forte.
He put his palm on the top of her head unskillfully, stroked her soft hair, and asked, "Did Rhode touch you?"
Ji Xiaoou froze, and finally said: "No..."
After a while, Ji Xiaoou asked hesitantly: "Tao Tao, are the females in your clan... all shared?"
— Rhodes' words left a big shadow on her.
Ren's palm that comforted her head paused slightly, thought for a moment, and said slowly, "No."
He added: "You're not."
Only then did Ji Xiaoou's tense body relax slowly.
Ren took advantage of the opportunity to put her on the bed, and went to the neighbors to call the veterinarian Ba Tan.
After Ba Tan came, he lifted Ji Xiaoou's clothes with his chubby palms, saw the open wound on her abdomen, and changed his voice in anger, "Why did you make this happen? Didn't you tell you to take good care of your wounds?"
Ji Xiaoou lowered his eyes, his eyelashes drooping tiredly, and his shoulders shrank slightly when he heard Ba Tan's words.
Ren frowned: "Don't be so loud."
Ba Tan watched his carefully stitched wound open, how could he remain calm, and transferred his anger to Ren, "How did you take care of her? You don't know how badly she was injured?"
Ren was silent for a moment, "Can it be cured?"
"I'll try my best." Ba Tan was very angry, "She didn't recover very well in the first place, but this time she bleeds again, so I'm not too sure."
"She must recover." Ren's voice was solemn, with an unquestionable order. "Cure her. For the next three years, all the winter food for your race will be provided by the leopard clan."
This condition is too tempting. Due to the limitation of body size, the panda family is naturally inferior to the leopard family in terms of hunting.
Food is scarce every winter.
Ba Tan's eyes lit up, and he said cheerfully, "Deal."
After the conditions were met, Ba Tan took a lot of care when dealing with the wound.
Although Ji Xiaoou's wound was bleeding heavily, Ba Tan was the most famous doctor in Kamuda Valley.
Because the wound was sutured beautifully at the beginning, the need for suturing again was avoided. He quickly stopped Ji Xiaoou's bleeding, added anti-inflammatory drugs, and solemnly told Ren: "Take good care of her body. If this happens again, I may not be able to save her."
Ren looked at the girl obediently lying on the bed, his eyes seemed to hide a thousand gullies, and after a long time, he said, "No."
— won't let her get hurt again.
"That..." Ji Xiaoou interrupted them, Wu Runrun's eyes looked at Ba Tan, "Will my wound leave a scar?"
Batan said: "There will definitely be scars. If the healing is good, it may only be shallower, and it will not disappear completely."
Ji Xiaoou pursed his lips, and his mood instantly became depressed.
Girls all love beauty and are very concerned about this aspect. Who wants to have three animal claw marks on their belly in the future
Ji Xiaoou pursed his lips, "Is there no way?"
Ba Tan glanced at her and couldn't help pouring cold water on her: "Of course there is a solution, let's talk about it after you heal your injury."
Ji Xiaoou: "..."
Wren's house is located in the depths of the Kamuda Valley, facing south and built of pine wood. After years of wind and rain, clear annual rings are gradually baptized.
There are two rooms in the house, one bedroom and one warehouse. The room is spacious and free.
Ren usually lives alone, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with it. After hunting food from outside, he eats it raw or warms it up, and doesn't need the odds and ends of the kitchen at all.
Until, a female lived here—
The female was delicate, weak, and badly injured.
Can not eat raw food, can not eat greasy food.
Can't catch a cold, can't have a fever.
Can't use fur to keep out the cold, can't stand the bloody smell of his skinning...
All kinds, all kinds.
Ren's living habits for many years were disrupted, and he couldn't take good care of Ji Xiaoou at first.
It wasn't until these two days that Ji Xiaoou's face became sharper and paler that he realized something was wrong.
Ren threw the hunted antelope to the door, walked to the bed and asked Ji Xiaoou: "Tell me, what do you want to eat?"
She hadn't eaten well for two days. Last night he caught two wild rabbits, roasted them, cut them into pieces, and delivered them to her. I thought she would eat a little more, but I didn't expect that she would refuse to eat after only two bites.
Ji Xiaoou raised her eyes, her face was small, but after losing weight, her eyes became brighter and bigger.
She tilted her head and thought for a while, feeling a little embarrassed.
Hadn't meant to bother him, but she really just wanted something light.
"Fish... is it okay?" Ji Xiaoou asked, "I want to drink fish soup..."
Ren said: "You can tell me directly what you want to eat in the future."
Ji Xiaoou blinked: "Won't I bother you?"
"Did you ever feel troublesome when you took care of me?"
Ji Xiaoou thought about it, and it seems that there is really no... She kept him as a pet, and didn't find it too troublesome at all.
There is a stream not far behind Wren's house. The stream is murmuring and meets the sea.
There are many species of fish living in the water, and it didn't take long for Ren to bring back four lively perch.
It's just that there is no kitchen in the house, let alone a stove, pots and bowls. Ren stood at the door and wandered around, frowned, and walked out.
"Wait a moment." Drop this sentence.
"..."
Ji Xiaoou looked at his back, and originally wanted to tell him that there are pots and pans in his space, as well as a stove and gas tank, which can light a fire and cook. But after thinking about it, he is no longer the little leopard who didn't understand anything at the beginning. If he asked her, she would have no way to explain the source of things.
Ji Xiaoou let out a sigh of relief.
At the same time, it was a bit strange, why he never asked her about the space... In order to avoid Raulsis, she had hidden it in the space a lot.
Has he forgotten
But yesterday Rhodes clearly mentioned the "supernatural power" in front of him. Speaking of which, how did Rhodes know
Based on this matter, Ji Xiaoou didn't dare to use his space lightly anymore, he didn't even dare to drink the milk in the space, lest he be caught as a monster.
So pots and pans can only be done.
Ji Xiaoou waited for half an hour, and finally heard the sound of Ren's footsteps coming back.
She pulled herself together and looked towards the door—
"You are too kind to that female. You cook fish soup for her yourself. Aren't you afraid of spoiling her?" Outside the door, a strange female voice said, and then changed her tone to discuss: "I can go in Take a look? Please, Ren, I promise I won't disturb her, I'm just too curious, can you just treat it as my reward for lending you the kitchen?"
Because through the door panel, Ji Xiaoou couldn't see the other party's appearance.
Moreover, the other party spoke the Leopard Clan language, and Ji Xiaoou couldn't understand a single word.
Ren's voice was calm: "No."
The corners of Suzana's mouth turned down, extremely disappointed, "Then how long are you going to hide her? I heard from Dad that you broke Rhode's bones because of her. Is she so important to you? You don't hesitate to hurt your own race..."
"That's right." Ren bared his teeth, a little impatiently, "Can we go?"
Suchana opened her eyes in disbelief, "What did you say?"
Ren turned and pushed the door open, saying, "Thank you for lending me the use of the kitchen, but Suzana, you take too much care."
Ren walked into the room carrying the clay pot, and saw Ji Xiaoou sitting on the bed, pursing the corners of his mouth slightly, looking a little serious.
"Where is it uncomfortable?" Ren naturally thought of her wound.
"I'm sorry." Ji Xiaoou answered the wrong question: "I heard you quarrel with someone just now... Is it because of me?"
Although she couldn't understand what they said, judging from the female's tone, it should be a quarrel.
Is it because Ren offended that orc in order to make fish soup for her
"No." Ren breathed a sigh of relief, put the pot on the table, and poured it into a clean pottery bowl, "Her name is Suzana, the daughter of Elder Sujira."
Ji Xiaoou blinked his eyes and said surprisingly, "Is she your female?"
Ren's hands trembled, and a little fish soup splashed on the table.
After a while, Ryan looked at her and said, "I don't have a female."
Ji Xiaoou said awkwardly, "Oh..."
She thought that the leader of the leopard clan would be surrounded by many female leopards...
For two days in a row, Ren would go fishing in the back water and make soup for Ji Xiaoou.
However, Ryan's cooking skills are really not good...
The first time he cooked fish soup for Ji Xiaoou, he didn't even scrape off the fish scales, it was Ji Xiaoou's nightmare.
In the next few times, Ryan's cooking skills slowly improved.
However, it is only "passable"... But with fish soup to drink, Ji Xiaoou is already very satisfied, at least, he knows to scrape off the scales before cooking the soup.
After drinking fish soup for two days, Ji Xiaoou's complexion finally improved.
One day, Ba Tan came over to check on her wound, and finally showed a trace of satisfaction on his face, "If this goes on, the stitches can be removed in ten days."
Ji Xiaoou's eyes were bright, and he asked expectantly, "Then can I take a bath?"
Ji Xiaoou had wanted to ask this question for a long time.
I haven't had a good shower since I came here.
Back then, when I was walking with Eric, I was too embarrassed to ask for a bath when I met a stream in the forest.
Later, the weather suddenly turned cold, and blizzards came one after another. Even life could not be guaranteed, so I didn't even think about taking a bath.
Now she is recuperating in bed, doing nothing every day, the fireplace in the house is burning warmly again, and the heat is steaming, she herself smells a stench all over her body, and she doesn't know how Ren can bear it She didn't change face.
Ba Tan deliberated, "You can wipe yourself properly, and don't touch the wound."
Ji Xiaoou immediately nodded obediently.
After Ba Tan left, Ji Xiaoou sat on the head of the bed, thinking about how to speak to Ren, when he heard him say, "No."
Ji Xiaoou opened his mouth, puzzled, "Why?"
Ren added two logs of firewood to the fireplace, straightened up, and looked at the thick snow piled up outside the window, "It's too cold, let's wait until spring."
Ji Xiaoou: "When is spring?"
Ren licked his teeth and thought, "Maybe tomorrow, maybe never."
Ji Xiaoou: "..."
In the end, Ji Xiaoou begged Ren to agree to him.
In fact, it wasn't that difficult... Ji Xiaoou just looked at Ren desperately, and it didn't take long before he got up expressionlessly and went outside to boil hot water.
There are ready-made oak barrels in the house, where Lane used to store fruit wine. After washing it, you can fill it with hot water.
Ren exchanged a full bucket, carried it into the house, glanced at Ji Xiaoou, and asked very naturally, "Do you need my help?"
Straightforward and frank.
Although he knew that he had good intentions, Ji Xiaoou blushed and shook his head again and again, "No, no need... I can do it myself."
After Ren went out, Ji Xiaoou slowly sat up from the bed.
She hadn't got out of bed for five days, holding on to the edge of the bed with both hands. Fortunately, she was still able to stand still.
Ji Xiaoou looked at the door and window, they were tightly closed, she relaxed and carefully took off her clothes.
The woolen sweater has not been changed for many days, and even in winter, the smell is not very good.
Ji Xiaoou took out towels, soap, shampoo and clean clothes from the space, and began to wash himself from start to finish.
She didn't take a shower for too many days, and she felt that there was mud under her nails.
The temperature in the room is suitable, Ji Xiaoou washes very carefully, and she has injuries on her body, so she dare not make large movements, so she washes very slowly.
An hour later, there was still no intention of coming out.
Outside the house, Ren turned into a beast and lay at the door, with his tail behind his back, and his ears kept an eye on the movement in the house.
... How long has passed, haven't you washed it yet
He raised his head and glanced at the mountains in the distance, where the dome was dark and the night was dim, and it had already fallen into night.
Ren was puzzled, why does such a small body need to be washed for so long
After waiting for another half an hour, seeing that the night was about to hit the Kamuda Valley, he straightened his body and turned into a human form, and was about to knock on the door to remind—
Suddenly, there was a sound of a heavy object falling heavily in the room, followed by an exclamation.
Ren stared at him, put his palm on the door, and pushed the door open without thinking!
Inside the house, the wooden bench fell to the ground and hit the oak barrel beside it. Some of the water in the barrel spilled out, and the ground was wet. Ji Xiaoou turned around and was about to lift up the wooden stool.
Ren suddenly froze in place, staring at the scene in front of him.
The girl is sideways, frankly naked, clean and dazzlingly white.
Looking at it from this angle, her waist was so thin that it seemed like it would break if she grasped it, she was probably taken aback, her eyes were full of helplessness, her hands were subconsciously folded in front of her chest, the curvature of her body was clearly visible, and it was impressively reflected in Ren's eyes. Eye.
The girl froze and stayed where she was.
After a while, Ren closed his eyes with difficulty, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong?"
