Chapter 440 Dowry and Tokens of Love
No, why are you looking at her instead of responding properly to what she's saying?
Su Luoluo noticed Si Zheng staring intently at her and felt a pang of doubt.

Does that mean she has to reply?

She never even considered that idea.

Shouldn't it be.
Su Luoluo glanced at Si Zheng suspiciously. Did he think she had designs on his Myriad Secrets Stone?
Was she making it that obvious?
She hadn't even had a chance to speak, let alone take any action, and he already realized it so quickly?
No way!
From what I just overheard the females talking, this Myriad Secrets Stone is related to his life and can only be given to the female he has a contract with.

She never expressed any intention to enter into any contract.

That look
Su Luoluo glanced at it and immediately froze on the spot.

Si Zheng's white animal skin coat seemed to be plated with gold under the setting sun, and even his light brown eyes turned into a golden color, shimmering with gold but also very dark, as if they could suck people in, airtight.

Mixed within were many simple emotions, and Su Luoluo felt that she couldn't see through Si Zheng's thoughts at all.

Su Luoluo glanced at it and then put it away, afraid that the already awkward situation would become even more awkward.

Si Zheng's gaze remained fixed on her, lingering for a long time.

The little orc looked up at the two adults in front of him and waited for a long time, but received no response.

He quickly tilted his head and glanced at Si Zheng, saying, "Priest brother, why are you staring at the chief sister like that? Is the chief sister too beautiful?"

"In that case, will Mu'er soon have a little cub to play with?"

The child's innocent voice broke the somewhat eerie yet intimate atmosphere, making it even more awkward and ambiguous.

Su Luoluo couldn't figure out Si Zheng's thoughts, so she decided not to wait for him to resolve it and pursed her lips, preparing to take matters into her own hands.

At this moment, Si Zheng glanced coolly at the few females watching them gossip, then squatted down and asked with a smile, "Has Mu'er finished her homework today?"

Several females nearby were listening intently to the gossip between their priest and leader when they were suddenly met with a cold stare.

The young female reacted instantly, quickly pulling the little beastman into her arms and saying with an embarrassed smile, "Mu'er, you're talking nonsense again. Come on, Amu will take you to practice your lessons."

Before the little orc could even speak, he was led away from the scene by his cub, Am.

The other females who were watching the spectacle also held out their vegetables and said with a forced smile, "Chief, I've finished picking the wild vegetables, so I'll be leaving now."

"Yes, yes, I also have things to do, so I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, the females left the scene in groups, their evacuation speed was incredibly fast, as if they were afraid of being too late.

Her steps as she left were somewhat hurried, a stark contrast to her gossipy demeanor while she was preparing vegetables.

I never expected Si Zheng to be so prestigious.

With just a glance, the females quickly left.

With the little brat's questions gone, Su Luoluo's embarrassment dissipated considerably.

However, she still couldn't quite figure out what Si Zheng meant by that look in her eyes just now.

Si Zheng didn't answer the question either, as if it was just a farce orchestrated by the little brat.

He withdrew his gaze, nodded respectfully, and asked, "Chief, what brings you to the tribe?"

Unless there is something else to do, Su Luoluo rarely ventures into the lemur tribe.

Firstly, Su Luoluo felt that although she was the leader of the lemur tribe, they were not of the same tribe after all, and it was not a good thing for them to visit each other frequently. It would be better for them to manage themselves.

Secondly, she herself is lazy and doesn't want to make too many decisions. Anyway, with Si Zheng around, she can manage things roughly.

To be honest, she felt that being the leader of a tribe was a heavy responsibility. Su Yang always considered the wolf tribe in every aspect, but Su Luoluo felt that she couldn't do that yet.

She had only reluctantly become the leader in the first place. Therefore, she rarely came over, which also had another meaning. She held the nominal position of leader, but the real power still lay with Si Zheng. In this way, if she wanted to remove the leader from the position one day, she could do so at any time.

With minimal effort, Si Zheng can get started immediately.

In her opinion, there wasn't much difference between the lemur tribe having her or not.

At most, she provided them with a place to stay, some food, and taught them how to cook.

When Si Zheng asked her this, Su Luoluo lowered her eyelids and casually made up an excuse, saying, "I came here to see if everyone has enough to eat. If not, I'll ask someone to get some more flour from me."

There was still a lot of flour left from the wheat mill. When I left, I specially dug a cellar and buried it in a hole. Now it's just the right amount to take out and eat.

After what those people said, Su Luoluo dared not ask for the Myriad Secret Stone casually. Even though she had previously thought of catering to their preferences, she no longer dared to make a move.

That thing is tied to Si Zheng's life, and it must be given to the female she has a contract with.

Isn't this exactly the same as a token of love plus a dowry during the contract?
Faced with something so complex and powerful, Su Luoluo admitted she chickened out.

Sure enough, the system's rewards weren't so easy to get for free.

Having only used a tiny bit of something beforehand, I found myself making it ten times more difficult to repay.

This isn't a system at all; it's clearly a bunch of shady businessmen!
It was the kind of loan sharking.

Si Zheng lowered her eyes slightly upon hearing this, "Thank you for your concern, Chief. The tribe has enough food for the time being."

Su Luoluo listened casually and nodded, "Okay, I understand."

After saying that, she prepared to turn and leave.

Si Zheng watched Su Luoluo's actions, blinked her eyelashes, and said, "Doesn't the leader want to know where I took the black-haired lemur beastman?"

Black-haired lemur orc?

Si Zheng and his lemur tribe, which had split into two.

Su Luoluo didn't have a good impression of them, but this was, after all, an internal matter of the lemur clan, and how to resolve the matter should naturally be decided by Si Zheng and the others.

Su Luoluo shook her head. "I believe in you. You'll definitely be able to handle it well."

Si Zheng has always been very capable. Not to mention the lemur tribe, which he managed very well, when fighting against the Xuan Bird tribe and the Dragon tribe, he assisted him in making catapults and forging iron tools. He did everything very well without Si Zheng having to tell him anything.

Upon hearing this, Si Zheng's long, curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and the tip of her well-defined index finger gently rubbed against her palm. Her tone was steady, with a subtle, intriguing ending, as she asked, "Does the leader trust me that much?"

After all, those people almost took her life.

Su Luoluo didn't think much of it upon hearing this, assuming that Si Zheng was worried that she didn't trust him. She nodded and said, "Of course, I trust you completely."

Upon hearing this, Si Zheng's lips curved into a smile, and her eyes shone brightly as if washed with water, saying, "I will certainly not let the leader down."

The other person's eyes were as still as a deep pool, no different from usual. For some reason, Su Luoluo felt that the gaze seemed somewhat fixed on her.

Realizing that her idea was a bit strange, Su Luoluo shook her head, thinking that she must have seen it wrong.

After saying that, she turned and left.

As Si Zheng watched Su Luoluo's retreating figure, he took out a piece of emerald green stone from his pocket, touched it, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

The leader seemed to trust him a lot.
