Chapter 205 Save me! Save me! (Bonus chapter for Chaochao)
Qin Ye carried the shaman of the Cheetah Tribe and arrived at the Lion Tribe at breakneck speed. Before the dust kicked up by his running had even settled, the shaman of the Cheetah Tribe jumped off his back with a solemn expression and strode into the house.
The witch doctor leaned closer to examine the three "children's" corpses, his brow furrowing deeper and deeper. Finally, he shook his head helplessly, his voice low and regretful: "It's too late to save them... This... should be buried as soon as possible... Otherwise, if the Holy Mother Xiyue sees this, she will inevitably be even more heartbroken..."
After saying this, she closed her eyes, silently recited the prayer, then sighed deeply and left the home of the Holy Mother Xiyue with heavy steps.
Two days later, almost at the same time, the eagle beastman carrying Xia Weier and the eagle beastman sent by the Beast King landed one after the other at the entrance of the Lion Clan tribe.
All the orcs who saw Xiaweier looked at him with pity and compassion, their gazes like heavy lead weights pressing on his heart.
Xia Weier's heart sank. Just as he was about to run home, the guard at the gate stopped him and whispered:
"Xiaweier, the beast husband, and Xiyue, the holy female, have gone to the lion cemetery outside the tribe to bury the cubs..."
Xia Weier's lips trembled uncontrollably, and he swallowed hard, his throat so dry it felt like it was on fire.
He could no longer care about anything else, and instantly transformed into a giant moon rabbit, rushing desperately towards the Lion Clan Cemetery. The dust kicked up by his four paws seemed to represent the sorrow surging in his heart at that moment.
When he arrived at the destination, he saw Ruan Xiyue kneeling alone in the middle of a group of people.
Xia Weier immediately transformed back into human form, wearing an animal skin skirt, and staggered toward Ruan Xiyue.
Following behind Xia Weier, the eagle-beastman belonging to the Beast King narrowed his eyes, a hint of wariness flashing in them, before slowly keeping up with Xia Weier's pace.
Looking at the three small mounds of freshly dug earth in front of Ruan Xiyue, Xia Weier still held a sliver of hope and asked in a trembling voice, "Where are Ruan Xiayi, Ruan An'an, and Ruan Xiabo?"
The moment Ruan Xiyue looked at Xia Weier, her eyes instantly reddened. Her aggrieved expression seemed to suggest she had endured all the hardships in the world: "Why did it take you so long to come back!"
To perfect that beautiful yet heartbreaking crying expression, she watched the video of Zhen Huan meeting the Fourth Prince so many times she almost threw up. Even Duo Duo was driven to despair by her constant questioning about whether it looked like the character.
Xia Weier was initially somewhat skeptical, but seeing Ruan Xiyue's aggrieved and sad expression, he felt as if his heart was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, causing him so much pain that he could hardly breathe.
He slowly knelt before Ruan Xiyue, gently embracing her as if to transfer all his strength to her, softly comforting her, and also reassuring himself: "It's alright, I'm back!"
He murmured as if grasping at a last straw, "Where are the cubs? Don't worry! The Beast King has sent a beastman! He will definitely be able to heal the cubs!"
The eagle-beastman, who was pushing forward behind Xia Weier, widened his eyes upon hearing this, his face filled with disbelief.
He was stunned: Huh? Who? Me? What can I do?
Seeing that the eagle-beastmen behind Xia Weier were trying to push forward, Luo Yurou and the others hurriedly stepped aside to make way for them.
Xia Weier's eyes were bloodshot. He rushed to the small mounds of earth, his hands trembling, and began frantically digging at the fresh soil with his bare hands.
He muttered to himself, "They have a way! The beastmen sent by the Beast King brought a miraculous medicine! Help me! Give him the cub! He can definitely cure it!"
His voice was hoarse with excitement and despair, and every word seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.
Seeing this, Ruan Xiyue felt a pang of anxiety and immediately rushed to the mound of earth, digging frantically with her hands. Her fingernails were filled with dirt, and in some places, blood was seeping out, but she was completely unaware of it.
Among the surrounding orcs, some hesitated, their steps faltering; others frowned deeply, their expressions grave.
However, some of the orcs, moved by Xia Weier and Ruan Xiyue's grief, rushed forward to help. In an instant, dust flew everywhere as everyone raced against time to dig.
Soon, the three "calves" were dug out.
Xia Weier carefully picked up the smallest cub, which was not even as long as an arm. His hands trembled uncontrollably, as if he were holding the most precious treasure in the world.
He rushed to the eagle-beastman and placed the "cub" in the eagle-beastman's arms.
The eagle-beastmen sent by the Beast King were stunned by this sudden action, their eyes wide with fear and helplessness.
Fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead. All the orcs' eyes were fixed on him like spotlights, but the Beast King hadn't given him any medicine at all!
His legs went slightly weak, and he shakily reached out his hand to place it under the cub's nose, only to find it ice-cold to the touch.
His heart pounded, and his throat felt like it was choked by something. After a long while, he forced himself to lie:
"The cub... the cub is no longer breathing. The medicine can only be given to cubs that are still breathing; it might still be effective... Now... the cub is stiff..."
His voice grew softer and softer, as if he couldn't even believe what he was saying.
Sighs immediately rose and fell all around, each sigh sounding like a cruel pronouncement of fate.
Only Ruan Xiyue slowly turned her head and stared intently at the eagle beastman with an almost hateful gaze. Her eyes were like sharp knives, as if she wanted to cut him into a thousand pieces.
"Why didn't you come sooner!" Ruan Xiyue roared through gritted teeth, her voice filled with anger and despair.
Her lips trembled violently as she turned to look at Xia Weier and said, word by word, "It's all your fault!"
As soon as she finished speaking, everything went black before her eyes, and her body fell straight backward.
Long Ze reacted quickly, rushing forward and firmly embracing Ruan Xiyue.
He looked at Xia Weier, his expression cold and stern: "Remember to bury the cub properly!"
The surrounding orcs shook their heads and sighed, each wondering to themselves, "How many times has Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue fainted now? If this continues, will the only Holy Mother of their two tribes collapse?"
Xia Weier remained silent, gently placing the cub in the pit without uttering a word. As if covering the little guy with a blanket, he carefully covered him with soil little by little.
The eagle-orc sent by the Beast King was covered in sweat.
He was wondering how he was going to report back to the Beast King.
Tell the Beast King: Your Majesty, your grandson is dead...
Mother! He thought about it and realized that after saying those words, he might not live past tomorrow!
Why did the Beast King summon him? He still has females and cubs to take care of!
The eagle-beastman who brought Xia Weier didn't dare to say much, silently minimizing his presence. He found Xia Weier's calm and silent demeanor terrifying!
After taking care of everything, the eagle-beastman sent by the Beast King was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He was counting on his fingers when the guards sent by the Beast King to protect Ruan Xiyue would arrive.
Help me! Help me! How am I supposed to report back? The important thing is, how can I survive long enough to do so?!
