Man on the ark, forced to become king

"Yes, yes, we don't care, we don't care."

Seeing the crystal on Talulah's hand, Chen was still stunned for a moment, even though he already knew this fact. Then he took Talulah's other hand and looked at her with such intense eyes that it seemed like he wanted to devour her whole. Talulah shivered for the first time and felt a chill run down her spine.

Does this child... have something wrong with his/her brain?

Recalling the unbelievable relationships between women and men in high society and aristocratic circles that she had heard about at the Duke of Kosiché's mansion, Draco's heart immediately went on alert, and she hurriedly withdrew her hand and tucked it into her sleeve.

This guy, he's not...that kind of guy, is he?

I suddenly feel so insecure!

"I'm sorry, my companion has a rather impulsive personality. She didn't mean any harm, but she does seem to really like you, probably because you're warm?"

"You know, Felin prefers a warmer environment."

"Yes, is that so?"

Talulah felt that this reason was unreliable and untenable. She still felt that something was wrong with that Felin, and instinctively moved her feet away, as if doing so would increase her sense of security.

Chapter 128 The White Rabbit Was Shocked

"Wouldn't doing this be too obvious?"

Lin Lu sat with W on a protruding, dry branch. The power of magic concealed their figures and voices, so that Talulah below did not notice them at all.

W tilted his head, listening intently to the conversation below, but found it incomprehensible.

In her view, Shining's explanation was clearly untenable. Although the supplies were disguised... let's just call it disguise for now, the fact that such a large quantity of military rations was discovered in such a coincidental way that it was almost impossible for such a thing to happen in reality was itself an inexplicable loophole.

If examined closely, even someone who isn't particularly bright can spot the inconsistencies in this.

Is it inappropriate to approach the Reunion Movement in this way?

"Yeah, it's obvious, so what?"

Lin Lu's gaze lingered for a moment on Chen, who was so excited he almost lost control. Seeing Talulah's wary and evasive movements, a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Everyone has a few secrets, right? Talulah isn't too stupid; she's practically half-smart. Give her an explanation, and she'll understand what's going on and won't delve into it."

"Reasons are just a stepping stone to joining the Reunion Movement."

"So when are you planning to let that person, Surtr, join us? Why not have her join us together?"

Finding that the conversation below seemed to have ended, W stood up, steadied himself on the branch, and looked on with some curiosity.

If that's the case, why not just cram everyone in at once? Why split it into two trips?

“Surtr has just regained consciousness and her memory is a bit hazy. Let her study with Theresa for a few days. Anyway, the Reunion Movement will be staying here for a while, so there shouldn’t be any immediate danger. With Shining’s strength, she can handle most situations.”

Lin Lu also stood up and pressed down on W's shoulder.

"Let's go, the plan is going smoothly, there's no need to look at it anymore."

"In a few days I will arrange a reasonable accident to get Surtr into the Reunion Movement."

-------------------------------------

"Let's just leave it here. Use these things sparingly. They're enough to last us for half a month. Add to what we already have, and it should last us about 20 days."

Boxes of compressed food were carried by the Yetis into the Shield Guards' camp. Talulah roughly estimated the amount on her fingers and came to an encouraging result.

Twenty days is enough time for them to come up with a solution.

Although she had seen the boxes placed next to the tents and buried in the snow before, she never imagined there would be so many.

This amount of food is enough to fill two transport trucks!

Stolen on the road? That's a completely evasive excuse.

Putting aside the fact that a patrol team would carry two truckloads of military rations across the ice field, even if there were such idiots, how could just two people possibly move two truckloads of food into the woods?

There are too many flaws and loopholes; it's almost as if they're saying, "We're just trying to fool you."

But as Lin Lu said, Talulah didn't care.

The identities of these two people were irrelevant to her; what mattered most was that they brought much-needed supplies for the Reunion Movement.

Since they came with good intentions, Talulah wouldn't mind accepting them.

Whether it's a shepherd or something else, it doesn't matter!

How did you convince them?

Yelena walked up to the excited dragon girl and asked in a low voice.

She was also stunned by the huge pile of wooden crates in front of her. This was no small number, and they had all been moved to their camp.

After Talulah stopped her, she probably used the same method herself, right?

Otherwise, it's really hard to explain why someone would willingly donate a large amount of food for free. On the cold snowfield, food is life!

"You might not believe me, but all this food was a gift from the Shining."

Talulah scratched her head, and her answer left Yelena stunned.

Was it really a gift? How could that be?

Even if those two people had some ulterior motive for getting close to the Reunion Movement, it shouldn't have come at such a high price, right?

"Shining said your Oripathy is severe and she wants to examine you."

The second sentence that followed made Yelena feel even worse.

Whatever the other party's purpose, they seem quite friendly at the moment. So, wasn't her previous behavior...?

She almost attacked the benefactor who had shown them kindness, and the benefactor even offered to treat her. How could she possibly accept that?

"...No, I think it's better if I don't appear in front of them, including the Yeti. I'll tell them to stay away."

Even if the other party brought it up, Yelena felt she didn't have the nerve to ask, so she shook her head and asked about something else.

Do they want to stay with Reunion Movement? Or do they have other plans?

"They plan to stay with Reunion for the time being because there are many infected people here who need medical treatment."

At this point, Talulah didn't know how to describe the woman named Shining; she had never seen anyone like her before.

The word 'kindness' was perfectly embodied in the other person. In the doctor's eyes, there seemed to be no difference between ordinary people and infected people. Such noble character made her feel ashamed of herself.

Yelena felt the same way. The more selfless and friendly Shining appeared, the more ashamed she felt. She secretly resolved to avoid appearing in front of Shining as much as possible.

"Actually, I don't think it was necessary to do that, since you didn't actually lay a hand on him, right?"

Talulah steered the conversation back, a slightly troubled expression on her face. After hesitating for a moment, she cautiously looked around to make sure no one else was there before moving closer to Yelena and whispering, "They're staying with Reunion, so we'll inevitably run into each other. How many times can you avoid them? I was thinking of having you keep an eye on them for me."

"why?"

Yelena was taken aback by her mysterious demeanor and wondered what was going on.

Is this something that can't be said openly? Why are you being so sneaky?

"That's right, I feel... it's just that..."

The girl's expression grew increasingly conflicted, and her voice was lowered to almost inaudible.

"The girl named Felin who was with Shining seemed to have something on my mind. Her eyes were terrifying. I even thought that if Shining hadn't been holding her back, she might have pounced on me. It was so scary."

"You have feelings for me?"

The white rabbit, who had always lived in the wilderness, was very naive. Upon hearing this, it blinked in confusion, not understanding what was happening.

"What kind of feelings does she have for you? At most, she might like you a bit, right?"

"Shining said it's because the Felins prefer my body temperature, but I feel it's more than that. In short, something's not right."

Recalling the look in that little girl's eyes, Talulah couldn't help but shudder, glancing back twice like a thief.

"You know, back when I was in... back in the city, I once saw some noblewomen... you can understand, right?"

"Is there such a thing?!"

Yelena's eyes widened in shock. These words shattered her established worldview. Did that Philin actually have such thoughts about Talulah?

This...this...how can this be?!

"I have doubts, but don't tell anyone else, not even Alina!"

Talulah raised her voice slightly, then quickly lowered it again.

"In short, that feeling scared me a bit. What if it's really true?"

"Yes, but..."

Yelena was not opposed to apologizing at all. Talulah was right. Since the other party was going to stay in Reunion, she couldn't keep hiding. She should apologize and find a way to resolve the matter so that they could get along normally in the future.

But if that Felin is really as Talulah said, then she's also very scared!

Women with women... just thinking about it is terrifying, okay?

"You don't need to be afraid. She didn't target you immediately, which means she's not interested in you, so you're safe."

Talulah patted her chest, making a solemn promise to Yelena, and then added another sentence.

"Look, a conflict almost broke out because of you, so you have to take responsibility, right? Therefore, it's just right to leave the task of looking after them to you, isn't it?"

"I... I'll think about it."
