"Mian'er, why are you so absent-minded?"
Ying Yuan found that Lu Mian'er had been acting strangely ever since she came back from outside.
Seeing Lu Mian'er almost put her hand into the fire to roast it, he finally couldn't help it. He held her hand in his palm and looked at her with a worried look.
After Hu Jiaojiao treated his wounds and applied medicine, and with his own strong self-healing ability, he can now walk and move normally. However, the wounds on his body are covered with dark brown scabs, making him look a little scary.
"Eagle Far..."
Lu Mian'er thought about it and told him what happened today.
Ying Yuan's eyes darkened slightly, "Hu Jiaojiao was locked up?"
He wished that the female would never come back, but when he saw that Lu Mian'er was so absent-minded because of her affairs and almost hurt herself, his eyes darkened.
The voice was low:
"Mian'er, if you're worried, I'll go with you."
He didn't want Mian'er to be so distraught all the time.
"Really?" Lu Mian'er raised her lost head, her eyes lit up, and she stood up immediately.
Ying Yuan sighed, somewhat helplessly, and nodded lovingly, "Of course, you can do whatever you want, I won't stop you."
He will protect his female for his entire life and will not let her be unhappy.
Lu Mian'er wiped her black hands and couldn't wait to go out, "Then let's go now."
After taking two steps, he turned back, went into the house, took out some fruits and a freshly roasted rabbit, wrapped them in clean leaves, and held them in his arms.
"Okay, let's go."
Ying Yuan transformed into a beast and took Lu Mian'er with him. Due to his injury, his flying speed was not as fast as before, and it took them more than ten minutes to reach the cave where Hu Jiaojiao was.
The Black Hawk landed about ten meters outside the cave.
Lu Mian'er jumped off the black eagle's back and ran towards the cave. The two males guarding the cave entrance saw her and asked in confusion:
"Lu Mian'er, what are you doing here? Go back quickly, this is not the place for you."
"I want to go in and see Jiaojiao. Please, let me in." Lu Mian'er looked at them pleadingly, begging softly.
Not far away, Ying Yuan heard Lu Mian'er's humble voice. His eyes turned cold and he swept his sharp gaze towards the two males.
The two males suddenly felt a chill on their necks.
"Okay, then you should come out quickly. You know that no one can get close to Hu Jiaojiao now. If you are implicated, Ying Yuan will not be able to protect you."
Despite this, they still gave a warning.
Lu Mian'er's face lit up, and she nodded and thanked him quickly, "Okay, I got it, I'll go in and deliver some things, and I'll be out soon."
The two males made way and Lu Mian'er trotted in.
The cave was completely different from the outside, it was eerie and dark, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of you, as if the whole world was shrouded in black fog.
As soon as Lu Mian'er entered, she felt a chill coming towards her. She shuddered subconsciously, but then mustered up the courage to continue walking inside.
It was so dark and eerie in here that she didn't dare to go any further after just a while. Jiaojiao must be very scared being here alone.
Thinking of this, she quickened her pace.
"Jiaojiao? Where are you?"
Hu Jiaojiao was happily enjoying a Michelin meal when she suddenly heard a sound coming from outside the cave. She quickly put everything into the space, leaving only a fire.
She looked towards the cave entrance, and soon she saw a thin figure groping towards her cautiously.
"Lu Mian'er?" Hu Jiaojiao was a little surprised, "Why are you here?"
Finally finding Hu Jiaojiao, Lu Mian'er smiled and ran over quickly.
She stuffed the food wrapped in leaves into Hu Jiaojiao's hands and said with a distressed look on her face:
"I brought you some food. The conditions here are tough. I'm sorry you have to suffer here."
Hu Jiaojiao smiled awkwardly and shook her head, "No, I'm fine here."
Hard... Not really hard. If she hadn't come in suddenly, I would still be enjoying my feast.
When Lu Mian'er heard her say this, she felt that she was just showing off and immediately felt even more guilty.
"Jiaojiao, I'm sorry. You almost got hurt while saving me, and then you were framed by Lu Cuicui. It was me who hurt you." Lu Mian'er bowed her head and apologized with an apologetic look on her face.
Hu Jiaojiao quickly shook her head:
"This has nothing to do with you, don't say that."
She was flattered, and then an idea flashed across her mind. Since Lu Mian'er's impression of her had changed, didn't it mean that in the future her five cubs and Long Mo might not be killed by Ying Yuan
Hu Jiaojiao opened the leaves and took a look, and found fruits and a roasted rabbit inside. This was meat, the most precious food in the eyes of orcs. She immediately felt more grateful to Lu Mian'er.
The orcs in the tribe avoided her and wished she would die soon, but her long-time "enemies" came to bring her food and show concern for her.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved.
"Thank you, Lu Mian'er. I will treasure these foods."
Hu Jiaojiao thanked Lu Mian'er sincerely.
Lu Mian'er blushed and waved her hands, "You saved me, and I haven't thanked you yet. This is what I should do. Don't worry, I will come to bring you food tomorrow. Don't be afraid. I believe they will be able to find out the truth and let you go."
Hu Jiaojiao smiled, not knowing how to explain to her that she had a whole space full of supplies and had no shortage of food.
Looking at Lu Mian'er's concerned expression, Hu Jiaojiao thought about it and decided not to refuse.
…
evening.
The five kids stayed at home all day, didn't go out, and didn't say a word to Long Mo.
Until his stomach growled with hunger and Long Yao could no longer bear it, he bit Long Linger's clothes and pulled her out to find something to eat. Only then did the cubs come out.
As soon as I went out, I saw Long Mo making a fire.
Seeing the cub coming out, Long Mo took a look at it, then retracted his gaze and concentrated on preparing food like Hu Jiaojiao. However, there was no fire at home. He searched for a long time but still didn't know what to use to make a fire.
"Are you hungry? Wait a moment. I'll go get some fire and come back and I'll cook for you."
Long Mo stood up and prepared to go out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned around, I heard Long Linger's angry voice.
"I won't eat what you cook. I want my mother to come back."
When Long Mo turned around, he saw Long Linger's eyes were red and she was staring at him angrily, like a kitten with its fur standing on end.
He paused and looked at Long Yao, who was the most talkative.
Long Yao naturally wanted to eat meat, and just as he was about to fly over, he was hugged by Long Yu.
Long Yu lowered his head and coaxed it, "Xiaowu, big brother will grill you some meat later."
After hearing this, Long Yao stopped looking for Long Mo and nodded excitedly, no longer having any interest in Long Mo.
The five cubs all walked into the yard and started to make a fire and grill meat, as if Long Mo didn't exist.
Feeling the cubs' indifference, Long Mo's face turned as black as charcoal.
These guys actually isolated themselves for Hu Jiaojiao? What kind of magic potion did Hu Jiaojiao feed them
