That place was located in the North of the deepest part of the forest. The trees outside were dense, and the road was blocked. They spent a lot of effort and finally cleared a path that could only be used by one person at a time.
After everyone went in, they discovered that this was actually a Valley. The air in the valley was fresh and the scenery was pleasant. No matter how they looked at it, it didn’t look like the dangerous place that Xiao Xiao had said.
“Xiaoxiao, are you sure it’s dangerous here?” he asked. Feng DA’s face was full of question marks. This was also what the others were thinking. No one could imagine how dangerous a place with such beautiful scenery could be.
“Yes, yes.” Xiao Xiao nodded vigorously.
“But I really can’t see how dangerous this place is.” Feng Da was very puzzled.
“Won’t you know once we go in and take a look? Let’s go!” Master ning’s face was full of anxiety. As soon as he finished speaking, he strode forward.
“Let’s go!” Leng ruoxue looked at her Godfather’s impatient look and said helplessly.
Then, the crowd followed master ning and walked forward.
After walking around for half a day, they discovered nothing other than a few scattered beasts.
Everyone found a small stream and started a fire on the shore to make something to eat. After dividing the work, the food was quickly prepared. However, they had just eaten a few mouthfuls when they found that the stream water seemed to be boiling. Seeing this situation, everyone immediately raised their vigilance.
“Be careful, everyone!” Leng ruoxue warned. Her beautiful eyes stared unblinkingly at the surface of the water. She did not know what was inside, but she hoped that it would not take the initiative to provoke them. Otherwise, she would not let it off!
“Miss, what is that thing! He actually caused such a huge commotion. ” Lu Tao couldn’t help but click her tongue. This stream didn’t look very big, and the water wasn’t deep, so how could there suddenly be so much water? This was really too strange.
“Don’t worry, it’ll come out. We’ll know in a while. ” Leng ruoxue consoled him. Actually, she also wanted to know what was in the stream. Just now, Qing Jue had sent her a voice transmission saying that there was a huge creature in the stream. However, he kept her in suspense and did not tell her what it was. This had also aroused her curiosity. However, Qing Jue had said that the thing was not bad. If she could subdue it, it would be a great help in the future. Hence, she was not too worried about the danger of the unknown thing.
Just as Leng ruoxue’s voice fell, a head popped out from the water and stared at them warily.
“Uh!” Everyone was stunned. Why was it a person? The head above the water was a beautiful face with a pair of clear blue eyes. They were so transparent that they could almost be seen. However, the person’s face was very vigilant, as if he was very dissatisfied with them. It was obvious that it was a man, a beautiful man with the strength of a divine Emperor.
“Who are you? Why are you trespassing on my territory?” The man said unhappily. Not only that, but she had also disturbed his rest and used such an alluring smell to seduce him. This was preposterous and too much! Sob … He hadn’t eaten for a long time. He really wanted to eat.
“Uh! We didn’t know this was your territory, we just wanted to come in and take a look. ” Feng DA’s forehead was full of black lines. He thought to himself,”why does this man change his face faster than turning a page in a book? he was very unhappy just now, but in the blink of an eye, he’s acting cute again. However, it’s undeniable that such a pretty boy’s appearance will definitely make all women’s maternal love overflow. Oh!” This probably didn’t include the three beside him!
Wrong, it was two! Because Cuizhu was already staring at him with a love-struck look. Sigh! It was really embarrassing! Many of them were not any worse than this pretty boy.
“Waa! Is this the legendary little bottom?” Cuizhu’s face was full of surprise.
Little bottom! When everyone present heard these two words, large beads of sweat kept dripping down from their foreheads. They couldn’t help but sigh in their hearts. Cuizhu had learned her lesson. She had actually learned from others and liked the bottom.
“How do you know I’m little Beastie?” The man asked, confused. He thought that these people would treat him as a human. He didn’t expect them to be able to tell that he wasn’t a pure human at a glance! His eyes were really sharp! The man could not help but think to himself. However, he did not know that the little bottom that Cuizhu was talking about was not the same one he knew!
“Uh!” Hearing the man’s question, everyone was speechless. They didn’t know what to say. How could there be such a simple Beastie? No wonder Cuizhu called him little Shou, he really looked like it.
“You look like him!” Cuizhu said with a smile, her face full of infatuation.
“I don’t care how you found out my identity. You trespassed on my territory and must compensate me. Otherwise, I won’t let you off!” The man said in a shocking manner.
His words had also struck Leng ruoxue and the rest like lightning. This was because his words were all too familiar, especially the word ‘compensation’. It made them feel even closer to him. Hehe! It seemed like they were kindred spirits! Things would be much easier this way.
“How do you want us to compensate you?” Leng ruoxue said with a faint smile. Didn’t green vessel say that he wanted to subdue him? Initially, she wasn’t very interested in this little thing. However, after hearing that he wanted compensation, she became interested. Hehe! This little fellow was clearly one of them! Look at the tone of his voice, it’s so similar to theirs!
“Give me your food!” The man said after some thought. He had not eaten for a long time and had almost forgotten the taste of food. Therefore, the first thing he thought of was to ask for food.
“Just food?” Leng ruoxue asked in exasperation. She was really a little thing who had never seen the world! How could he only ask for food? One had to know that this was such a good opportunity! She actually didn’t want to take advantage of the situation. As for whether she would give it to him or not, that was her problem.
“Yes.” The man nodded. What he wanted the most now was human food. After all, he had once been a human.
“Alright, the food is here. Come up and get it yourself!” Leng ruoxue pointed at the food in front of them and tried to tempt them.
The man hesitated and looked at the food not far away. In the end, he couldn’t resist the temptation of the food and climbed out of the water. The reason he said he climbed was because he had a fish tail. The tail was light blue and it glowed with a faint Halo. It was unusually beautiful.
When Leng ruoxue and the rest saw his tail, they were stunned and did not come back to their senses for a long time.
Ugh! I’ve never heard of mermaids in this world. Leng ruoxue was flabbergasted. However, that tail was extremely beautiful. When matched with that man’s beautiful face, it was a natural work of art.
“Sister, he’s not the mermaid you’re thinking of.” At this moment, Qing Jue transmitted his voice again.
“Oh! Then what was he? Fish-type Beastie?” Leng ruoxue transmitted her voice over curiously.
“Sister, how should I put this? He should be considered half-human, half-fish! Some of his ancestors must’ve combined with beasts. In his generation, the bloodline of beasts is obviously very weak, and he’s showing signs of atavism. However, it’s obvious that he’s not welcomed by his own family, otherwise, he wouldn’t be staying here alone. ” Qing Jue explained with an understanding look.
In the eyes of pure humans, the offspring of humans and beasts were not pure and were despised by others. In fact, in his opinion, it was clearly an excuse for humans to be jealous. This was because the offspring of humans and beasts would combine the common advantages of humans and beasts, and their qualifications were not something that pure humans could compare with. Therefore, once some humans found this kind of half-human, half-beast, they would almost not hesitate to kill it, not allowing it to live in the world at all. This half-human, half-beast must be the reason why it was able to become a divine Emperor!
“Oh!” After hearing Qing Jue’s explanation, Leng ruoxue finally understood. However, she was quite interested in this mermaid. She just did not know if this little fellow was easy to trick.
As for the man who had already climbed up to the shore, after seeing their expressions, he instinctively wanted to retreat back into the water because he really didn’t want to see other people’s strange gazes anymore. It had been so long, but he still couldn’t forget the pain he had once suffered.
“Wait, don’t go! The food is here! You don’t want it anymore?” Leng ruoxue hurriedly shouted when she saw that her prey was about to escape.
“I …” The man only said the word “I” and did not continue. However, that pair of light blue beautiful eyes flickered with tears, and he looked very aggrieved.
“Here you go! Take it and eat it!” Cuizhu saw that the man was a little shy, so she picked up the food in front of her and ran to the man. She stuffed everything into his hands and then ran back to the crowd with a blush.
The man looked at the food in his hand and whispered in embarrassment,””Thank you,” he said.
“Come over and eat with us!” Leng ruoxue called out.
“I-I can?” The man asked carefully. He didn’t forget the reaction of these people when they saw his tail.
“Of course you can.” Leng ruoxue said with a smile, and the others hurriedly nodded their heads. However, Xiaoxiao, who was lying on Leng ruoxue’s shoulder, didn’t seem to like him.
“Thank you! I’m Zi Yu. ” The man introduced himself, then found a seat beside Leng ruoxue and the rest.
“I’m Leng ruoxue, and these are my family and subordinates. We’ll be staying here for a few days, so you can slowly get to know them!” Leng ruoxue laughed.
“Yes.” Zi Yu nodded, then picked up the food in her hand and began to eat very elegantly.
“Zi Yu, you’re a human, right?” Leng ruoxue sized up Zi Yu for a while before she spoke with certainty.
“I used to be. However, my bloodline has returned to its ancestor, so I’m no longer a human. I’m a small beast.” Zi Yu said with some sadness. If not for this, he would not have stayed here all alone.
“There’s nothing bad about little Beastie! There is no distinction between noble and lowly in life, the key is what you think. ” Leng ruoxue said indifferently.
“I know, but, people like me, not only will humans hate me, even beasts don’t like me. The soul-gnawing beast on your shoulder is the same. If it wasn’t for the fact that it’s still underage, it would definitely want to eat me.” Zi Yu said with a bitter smile. This was the sorrow of the half-orcs. Their status in the divine realm was not recognized by any human or beast. Therefore, almost all half-orcs could not live long. If they wanted to live long, they had to find a place where they would not be discovered by others, such as him.
