Chapter 154 He's Leaving Again
In the city of Leerbeasts, several clan leaders who were jointly managing the city frowned slightly. They pondered to themselves that what the Treasure-Seeking Rat tribe said made sense.
"At this point, this is only your side of the story. We will definitely conduct a thorough investigation."
When you encounter trouble, your first thought is to seek help from our city of Leer, which shows that you have considerable trust in our city.
We will never betray the trust of the tribes.
If the Great Bamboo Lemur tribe truly committed such heinous acts as you claim, then no beast city or tribe could tolerate their evil deeds.
We will immediately dispatch a security team to verify the situation, and report back once it is confirmed to be correct.
"Knowing that so many orcs have tragically perished this time, the Holy City will certainly not stand idly by!"
The Virgin Mary, this strikingly beautiful woman, sealed the deal with her words, bringing the three-hour meeting to a close.
Ruan Xiyue and her group of orcs were properly accommodated in the VIP reception building in the inner city.
As soon as she was settled, Ruan Xiyue hurriedly took an energy pill and then began to treat Long Ze's injuries.
Seeing this, Long Ze gently put his arm around Ruan Xiyue's waist and said softly, "Actually, you don't need to expend any more of your superpowers. I feel almost fully recovered."
Ruan Xiyue did not respond, but silently used her supernatural abilities.
More than half an hour later, she finally completely healed Long Ze's injuries, and then she leaned on Long Ze's shoulder, exhausted.
Seeing Ruan Xiyue's exhausted appearance, Long Ze felt a pang of heartache. His brows furrowed tightly as he asked with concern, "Did you overuse your powers?"
Ruan Xiyue sighed softly and said, "I did use up a lot of my superpowers today."
First, I treated my subordinates, then I fought a fierce battle with the Great Bamboo Lemur tribe, and afterwards I was humming a sacred hymn in the sacrificial square. I'm so tired, so very tired.
As she spoke, she nuzzled against Long Ze's neck and said coquettishly, "So, as compensation, you have to carry me to dinner."
Long Ze agreed without hesitation and, as Ruan Xiyue requested, steadily picked her up and carried her downstairs.
His gaze remained fixed on Ruan Xiyue's tired profile, his eyes filled with tenderness.
At night, the moonlight, as clear as water, gently spills across the earth, as if draping the surroundings in a thin, silvery veil.
Long Ze sat quietly on the edge of the bed, gazing at Ruan Xiyue, who was already fast asleep beside him.
Her lips were slightly pouting as they were pressed against her cheek, making her look exceptionally cute.
Long Ze couldn't help but lean down and gently kiss those soft lips.
His gaze grew increasingly deep, and his thoughts drifted involuntarily into the distance.
Looking back on my own growth, I realized that due to severe financial deficits in my childhood, my path to advancement was exceptionally difficult and slow.
Others can advance to higher levels with ease, but he has to put in several times the effort of ordinary people just to barely make a step forward.
Thinking of this, a trace of pain and resentment flashed in Long Ze's eyes.
He knew that with his current strength, he was far from being able to provide Ruan Xiyue with sufficient protection.
The scene from before involuntarily flashed through his mind—Ruan Xiyue, tears streaming down her face, her hands trembling as she cupped his face, her eyes filled with heartache and self-reproach.
At that moment, his heart felt as if it had been stabbed.
No, he vowed to himself that he must never let such a thing happen again.
He wanted to become stronger, strong enough to protect Ruan Xiyue and ensure she could always be carefree and happy.
He was willing to endure any hardship to achieve this goal.
The next morning, sunlight streamed gently into the room through the window. Ruan Xiyue slowly woke up and found herself nestled in Long Ze's warm embrace.
Looking up, she saw Long Ze's smiling face, his gaze gentle and tender, like a deep, affectionate lake, its surface reflecting her image.
"Did you sleep well?" Long Ze asked softly, his breath brushing against Ruan Xiyue's ear. Then, as if unable to restrain himself, he gently bit her earlobe.
Ruan Xiyue instantly felt Long Ze's burning passion, but a slight doubt arose in her heart, wondering why he was so enthusiastic when he woke up in the morning.
Long Ze was concerned that Ruan Xiyue had exhausted herself yesterday and was pregnant, so she needed to rest properly.
So he restrained himself and racked his brains, using every gentle method he could think of, just to make Ruan Xiyue feel happy and satisfied.
While Ruan Xiyue was immersed in this sweetness and thinking about what she should do for Long Ze in return, Long Ze refused to let her suffer.
"Are you not planning to come back to the tribe with me?" Ruan Xiyue keenly sensed that Long Ze's various actions seemed to be expressing his intense longing for her in his own unique way.
At the same time, it also subtly suggests that he might not return to the tribe with him.
Long Ze nodded slightly and explained, "I will return before the Beast City Guard goes to the tribe to inquire. However, I am about to break through and advance to the Brown Rank, so I still want to find an opportunity to give it my all."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Xiyue pondered for a moment and finally decided to take out the pill she had obtained after this upgrade from her system space—a talent enhancement pill worth three thousand points.
"This pill can enhance your talent, but after taking it, you will experience excruciating pain, like having your bones scraped and your marrow pulled out. But as long as you can endure it, your aptitude will be significantly improved," Ruan Xiyue explained earnestly to Long Ze.
Long Ze frowned slightly, staring intently at Ruan Xiyue, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
He didn't ask any questions, but solemnly accepted the pill and gently put it into his storage bag.
Then, Ruan Xiyue thoughtfully took out several health-strengthening pills, blood-nourishing pills, as well as high-grade energy pills and healing pills, and handed them to Long Ze.
“You must take good care of yourself. We’re leaving for the tribe this afternoon. Would you like to come with us? That way, you can refine and absorb the elixir that enhances your aptitude in a safe environment.” Ruan Xiyue looked at Long Ze with concern in her eyes and asked softly.
Long Ze shook his head without hesitation, a hint of shyness and stubbornness on his face, and said, "How could I let you see me at my most disheveled and ugliest? As long as you are by my side, I will absolutely not take this pill."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Xiyue immediately pouted and angrily scolded, "What strange thing is wrong with you? Why are you still concerned about your image at a time like this? I'm so worried about you taking this pill while you're out here alone!"
Seeing Ruan Xiyue's anxious and worried appearance, Long Ze felt heartbroken.
He gently cupped Ruan Xiyue's face, placed a tender kiss on her forehead, and then solemnly promised, "I promise you, I will never take this pill when I go out alone."
