Chapter 78 Don't cry!

Hearing her say that, Si Shuo also became nervous and looked around.

There are many orcs here. With the evening breeze of spring, the orcs' figures are blurred by the flickering light of the campfire. If you lower your head slightly, you can hide yourself in the shadows.

"Since you're so important, how did you escape?"

Xiao Shisi seemed to be frightened; Si Shuo could still hear the sound of her teeth chattering together.

It seems that females in this world are all very timid, especially those who don't have a male beastman to protect them.

She whispered, "I am a female of the Xiao family, and I have some ways to protect myself."

To gain Si Shuo's trust, she took out a thin stack of leaves from her bosom, about three or four in total.

"This is our Xiao family's escape secret method. It is a magical artifact made by the talisman-making master supported by the clan. As long as you crush a leaf and say the other person's name, you can be teleported to the other person's side."

However, the other party cannot be too far away, otherwise it will not be effective.

"Si Shuo, the Holy Female, saved the entire city of Puchang and is an envoy of the Beast God. You certainly wouldn't want to see me forced into a relationship with the beast husband they've chosen, would you?"

Si Shuo tilted his head slightly. "I'm unwilling, but I don't want to cause myself any trouble. Does that mean whatever you say goes?"

"They were able to take you away from the Xiao family, so why do you think I can protect you, and why should I protect you?"

Xiao Shisi was stunned for a moment, as if she had never thought of being rejected. In an instant, the blue-haired beauty was in tears, feeling deeply hurt, and her whole being had a broken, fading, and desperate beauty.

Si Shuo's heart skipped a beat, as if he had somehow bullied her, and he felt incredibly frustrated. "You, don't cry, I didn't say I wouldn't help you..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shisi's shoulders trembled even more, and he sobbed:

"Si Shuo, you don't know that I was in the high building, hearing your name, and seeing so many berserk beasts outside the city, all of them killed and not a single one able to enter the city. I thought I had finally found my chance to go home."

I'm just a defenseless female. If you don't help me, I really don't know who else to turn to.

Si Shuo also wanted to cry. He turned his head to look at Ji Liang. He wanted to help, but he was afraid of being deceived and causing trouble for the beastmen.

If I don't help, this delicate beauty is crying so hard it breaks my heart; I wish I could transform into a male and give her a hug...

Ji Liang didn't even lift his eyelids. "I've heard of the Xiao family from the Central Continent, the surname of the three-tailed blue fox, skilled in charm magic?"

Xiao Shisi quickly shook his head, looking pitifully at Si Shuo: "Holy Maiden Si Shuo, I did not use any charm on you. I sincerely ask for your help."

My father was the eldest elder of the Xiao family, and my mother was a holy woman.

That's why Mi Xing and the others have their eyes on me, trying to force me to take in more beast husbands from Puchang City so that I can have cubs with good aptitude.

They thought that since I had a baby, I wouldn't be willing to break off the contract with my beast husband...

Orcs believe that mating requires mutual consent.

"Are Mi Xing and the others really that domineering?" Si Shuo pursed his lips, thinking to himself that his beastmen had gained an extra life-saving skill, so they wouldn't be completely passive when faced with danger.

"Yes, the Southern Continent has sent a lot of females to the Central Continent, and has even established a Southern Alliance in a border city of the Central Continent, all in an attempt to seek greater benefits in the Central Continent."

Some holy maidens are very domineering and unreasonable. They have one face in the Central Continent and another face when they return. I am not the first female they have abducted, and I will definitely not be the last...

Xiao Shisi lowered his head slightly, sat with his legs drawn up, and said in a weak voice, as if he had already resigned himself to his fate.

Si Shuo's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she had grasped some of the reason why the females in Puchang City had such good fertility. However, she didn't want to delve deeper; what place doesn't have secrets?

Darkness and filth are everywhere. She is still relying on the protection of her beastmen. She was able to save Puchang City from the beast tide only because she ensured that she and her beastmen could protect themselves.

At that time, they stood together with the beastmen of Puchang City, but if she were to investigate this matter, she would be touching upon the secrets and interests of certain people in Puchang City.

Puchang City has no shortage of orcs with level 11 and 12 combat power, and perhaps some orcs are hiding their true strength...

This incident also served as a wake-up call for her. She should wait until they have the power, or until the truth comes out, before helping to push things along, so that she and her beastly husbands don't bring disaster upon themselves!

Ji Liang handed the grilled meat to Si Shuo, put his arm around her and kissed her forehead, "If you get bored on the way, it'll be good to have another playmate."

The Xiao family in the Central Plains has considerable power and wealth; we can use her to exchange for some benefits later.

Si Shuo felt Xiao Shisi's ears perk up, and leaned close to Ji Liang, whispering, "Won't this cause trouble?"

After all, they were traveling to the Central Continent with a caravan of itinerant merchants, and there were quite a few females traveling with them. Moreover, they had been delayed for several days due to the beast tide, and it was very likely that they would travel together with the caravan from Puchang City heading to the Central Continent.

Ji Liang raised an eyebrow: "Just leave her somewhere to suffocate. If she wants to return to the Central Continent, how can she do it without making some sacrifices?"

Xiao Shisi nodded repeatedly, saying obediently, "Holy Mother Si Shuo, I can do it. As long as I can escape from here and not be forced into a relationship, I'll do anything."

"So what if I'm stuck in a basket for a few months? I can just sleep a little longer each day. Anyway, when we're traveling, Si Shuo the female is traveling the whole way, isn't she?"

Si Shuo pursed his lips. "Shall we take her with us?"

Ji Liang nodded: "Mi Xing and the others tried their best, but they still couldn't win her heart."

We can't just turn away the benefits that are offered to us by the Xiao family, can we?

"Call Zhile over and take her home, then we can continue eating barbecue."

Si Shuo hummed in agreement. After entering the tent, she rubbed the snow leopard mark on her wrist. In just five seconds, Zhi Le appeared out of thin air, hugged her, and kissed her.

"Does the kitten miss me?"

Si Shuo chuckled and hugged him, then told him about Xiao Shisi.

Zeller raised an eyebrow and looked at her strangely: "A three-tailed blue fox female?"

Si Shuo nodded: "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Zhile smiled and shook his head: "No problem. Since Ji Liang agreed, it means there's no big issue. I'll take her back."

Seeing Zhile walk out with Si Shuo, Xiao Shisi was a little stunned, and his eyes became even more eager as he looked at Si Shuo!

Ji Liang explained casually, "This is a teleportation ability rewarded by the Beast God."

Xiao Shisi smiled slightly, "Si Shuosheng is beautiful and kind-hearted. She saved so many beastmen in Puchang City and deserves a reward."

Watching Zhile and Xiao Shisi leave one after the other, Si Shuo realized that Zhile was of medium to tall stature among the beastmen, while Xiao Meiren was not short either, even a head taller than the tallest female she had ever seen!

Ji Liang turned her face back and laughed, "Hiss, now that the annoying orc is gone, let's continue eating our roast meat!"

Si Shuo, munching on the tender fried beef, temporarily put the matter out of his mind.

The two of them slept in the tent that night...
