Chapter 377 The Reasons for Migration

Qiao Xixi wanted to sleep, not to practice her skills, but to actually sleep.

Jin Lin carried her back to bed and lay down beside her.

"If you're tired, just take a nap. I'll take care of things in the inner city."

Qiao Xixi hummed in agreement and snuggled closer to him. She had wanted to find a comfortable position to take a nap, but Jin Lin was very hot, and it was the hot season. She soon felt uncomfortable from the heat.

Her body couldn't help but toss and turn in his arms.

As she tried to turn over again, a large, burning hot hand suddenly gripped her twisting waist.

Qiao Xixi opened her eyes groggily, her voice hoarse with sleep, "What's wrong? Is there any noise outside the door?"

Jin Lin looked at the weariness between her brows, took a deep breath, and suppressed the restlessness in his body.

"Xixi, don't move around."

Qiao Xixi, feeling a bit hot, slapped his hand away and tugged at her silk nightgown. The breeze from the tucking made her feel a little cooler, but she felt hot again as soon as she stopped.

"I'm hot." She pulled her skirt up, exposing her legs and spreading her arms and legs out in a starfish shape to expose more of herself to the wind.

After not hearing any movement from Jin Lin for a long time, Qiao Xixi opened her eyes and met a pair of golden eyes filled with suppressed desire.

Her reflection was completely visible in his gilded pupils.

Qiao Xixi remembered how she could always find solace in them whenever she felt weak, empty, and powerless, and that gave her a boost of energy.

Looking at Jin Lin, he asked knowingly, "What's wrong?"

Jin Lin knew she was hot, so he stepped back a little. "Are you still hot? I'll go get some water to wipe you down."

Just as he was about to get up, Qiao Xixi's foot hooked around his waist. "Actually, I know a better way to fall asleep. Do you want to know?"

Jin Lin gazed at her, and that one look went straight into his heart.

She lay there languidly, her long hair casually draped over the large bed. The long, flowing gauze dress she wore perfectly outlined her graceful figure, captivating Jin Lin from head to toe. He stood there, mesmerized, his gaze fixed on her for a single moment.

He slightly raised his body, and as he did so, his clothes came undone, revealing his muscular chest.

"In what way?"

Qiao Xixi's toes traced the clearly defined muscles of his thigh, all the way to the perfectly curved V-line, lingering back and forth around it.

Jin Lin's steady breathing gradually became heavy as he gently grasped her ankle and leaned closer.

Qiao Xixi looked at him, her eyes seemingly filled with spring water, and said, "Guess."

His burning palms traveled up her long, fair legs, the rough, caressing touch making Qiao Xixi let out a soft moan, but the sound was swallowed back down as soon as it escaped her lips.

When the wind and rain stopped, Qiao Xixi sat up in bed feeling refreshed.

Sure enough, young and strong males are a great source of nutrition!

Just as Qiao Xixi was about to stay with Jin Lin for a while, she heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

She pulled the animal skin blanket over him, covered him with it, got dressed, and went out.

"Xixi."

Fei Yan quickly went upstairs and walked up to Qiao Xixi.

"what happened?"

Seeing that he was covered in sweat, Qiao Xixi took a leather handkerchief and wiped the sweat that had rolled down his eyelids.

As soon as Fei Yan got closer, he smelled the strong golden aura emanating from her. He snorted softly, but now was not the time to dwell on that. "Xi Xi, three small tribes of orcs have come from outside our tribe, saying they want to join us."

Josh was somewhat surprised, "They appeared at the same time?"

"Yes, there are several hundred orcs in total. I'm worried that if they come all at once, it will disrupt the tribe."

Fei Yan's worries were not unfounded, but Qiao Xixi wanted to find out more about the reasons why these tribes migrated and why their original places were not suitable for living.

"I gonna go see."

Fei Yan had the guards bring the chieftains of the three tribes into their respective tribes to see Qiao Xixi.

The first to enter the stone house was a male deer-beastman, who looked very robust. He kept his head down as he entered, afraid that his antlers would hit the door frame.

Qiao Xixi thought his beast form was most likely a deer or something similar, and when he stood in the room, the room looked smaller.

The male deer-beast hadn't expected that a beautiful female would be waiting inside, but there was no hint of contempt in his eyes, because Fei Yan, who was standing to the side, had already released the aura of a powerful being when he entered.

"Chief, I am the chief of the Deerwood Tribe. I hope to stay in the Black Panther Tribe with my people."

"I heard that you migrated because your previous place was no longer suitable for living, is that right?"

The male deer nodded. "Yes."

"What specific circumstances made it impossible for you to survive?"

The male deer-beast frowned upon hearing this; the memory seemed to be making him feel very uncomfortable.

"There's a problem with our water source. When the orcs in the tribe drink the water, they give birth to monstrous cubs."

Qiao Xixi was taken aback. "How can you be sure it's a problem with the water source?"

“At first we weren’t sure either, but one time I noticed that the fish and animals in the water had changed.”

At first, he thought the tribe was cursed, which was why monsters were born. As a result, the tribe was shrouded in a shadow for a long time.

“That day, when I went to the river to catch fish-like creatures, I found that the fish-like creatures I caught were very strange. Some of them even grew legs. I immediately thought of the monster cubs in the tribe.”

Are they born the same?

The male deer-beast shook his head. "They look different, but what they have in common is that they have one or two extra eyes and two or three extra hands and feet. They're not normal at all. Chieftain, tell me, if it's our tribe that's cursed to give birth to those monsters, that's one thing, but are the fish-beasts in the water also cursed? I suspected there was something wrong with the water back then."

To prove this, the male deer cleverly conducted an experiment: instead of letting his family drink the water from that river, he would walk a long way every day to fetch spring water from another place.

After some time, the offspring born to his female master were indeed fine.

"So you've determined that there's a problem with the water source, and you immediately lead the orcs in the tribe to migrate away from their original location."

The male deer-beast nodded. The water source he went to fetch was scarce, insufficient to sustain the orcs in the tribe. He had no choice but to leave.

After listening, Josh nodded. "Since you left the tribe and arrived here, have any normal cubs been born?"

"Yes, we traveled a long way to reach the Black Panther tribe. The cubs born to the females who became pregnant along the way were all normal."

After asking a few more detailed questions, Qiao Xixi asked him to leave first.

After the two clan leaders came in, Qiao Xixi asked them some detailed questions as well.

To her surprise, the three tribes encountered the exact same situation.

"Crimson Flame, do you know these tribes? They seem to be located a bit ahead of the Silver Tribe."

Fei Yan's expression darkened, and she nodded at Qiao Xixi.
