Chapter 311 Acting Cute
Hearing Xing Ci pause in the middle of his words, He Jiaojiao looked up and saw a flash of guilt on his face. She suddenly felt that things didn't seem that simple.
"Aci, how did you get the other beast crystals?"
Xing Ci hesitated and hesitated for a long time, unable to explain clearly. Finally, Mo Ran spoke out the secret, "Could it be that you robbed it from some beast?"
He Jiaojiao's expression changed instantly when she heard that these beast crystals might be used for robbery.
She knew that Xing Ci used to be a stray animal, and some of his methods were indeed not very glorious, but now that he was her partner, he could not bring those bad habits with him.
She would rather not use those beast crystals than take these looted things.
Seeing that He Jiaojiao was already angry, Xing Ci hurriedly explained, "No, it's not like that!"
Fortunately, it wasn’t a robbery!
He Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief, but she still felt that there must be something fishy about getting so many crystals in such a short time, so she looked at Xing Ci with a stern face and asked, "Ah Ci, where did you get the remaining crystals?"
Xing Ci made a bitter face and told the whole story.
He Jiaojiao was very surprised to learn that Xing Ci had actually saved an orc's life and that these crystals were a thank-you gift from the orc.
After all, Xing Ci doesn’t look like the type of person who would help others!
"Will you help save people?"
Zi Yi still held a grudge against the previous pot of meat, and his voice sounded somewhat sarcastic.
Perhaps Zi Yi's attitude was too obvious, Xing Ci's expression suddenly turned ugly, "What do you mean?"
Sensing the tension between them, He Jiaojiao hurried out to act as a peacemaker, "Stop arguing!"
Seeing that He Jiaojiao did not stand on his side, Xing Ci's eyes showed disappointment, but the next second, he heard He Jiaojiao say in a very stern voice, "Zi Yi, Ah Ci is my partner now, and a member of our family. You can't talk to him like this."
So, Jiaojiao doesn't disbelieve in herself?
"Ah Ci, you did a great job, being willing to help those weaker orcs." He Jiaojiao said, standing up and walking to Xing Ci, bending down and placing a kiss on his cheek, "This is a reward for you! Keep doing this in the future!"
Xing Ci felt particularly proud to be praised in front of so many friends, and he didn't seem to want to hide it at all, which made the other friends look at him angrily.
"But, Ah Ci!" He Jiaojiao leaned in close to look into Xing Ci's eyes. "Helping others doesn't require any reward. Next time someone wants to thank you, you can choose something else. After all, for orcs with low-level abilities, it would take a long time to collect so many beast crystals, and they might even encounter many dangers before they can save up that much."
"Is that so?"
Xing Ci didn't seem to have considered this problem. After all, in his understanding, collecting beast crystals was just a matter of taking some time and there was no danger involved.
"Then I'll listen to Jiaojiao. If I encounter this situation again in the future, I won't take their beast crystals!" Xing Ci looked up at He Jiaojiao. Her well-behaved look even made people forget how cruel he was in the past.
"Okay!" He Jiaojiao smiled and rubbed Xing Ci's head, then said to everyone, "Let's eat quickly, I'm hungry!"
In a word, the topic was brought back to the meal. Everyone was afraid that He Jiaojiao would be hungry, so they kept putting food into her bowl. After a while, the bowl in front of He Jiaojiao was piled with food like a small mountain.
Originally, this meal was eaten later than usual. They had just finished eating and Zhutian and the others were still cleaning up when He Jiaojiao was already sitting there nodding her head.
"Chiyan, take Jiaojiao to sleep next to you first!"
Mo Ran looked at He Jiaojiao who was dozing off, fearing that she would accidentally hit her head, so he spoke to Chi Yan who was already tidying up.
Chi Yan glanced at He Jiaojiao, immediately walked towards her, and picked her up.
Being held by Chi Yan in a daze, He Jiaojiao felt as if she had entered a somewhat narrow place. She forced her heavy eyelids to take a look. The surroundings were dark, with only a place that looked like a cave entrance having light. It looked like she was in a tree hole.
It seems that this is a tree hole that the friends discovered by chance before, which is perfect for resting.
"Go to sleep!"
Chi Yan looked at He Jiaojiao in his arms, who was obviously very sleepy but still pretending to look around, and couldn't help but speak in a gentle voice.
"Ok!"
He Jiaojiao adjusted her posture, hugged Chi Yan's thin waist, and then put her legs on it, treating Chi Yan as a pillow.
Chi Yan was very helpless. He wanted to lay He Jiaojiao down, but found that she had fallen asleep. In order not to disturb her rest, he had no choice but to let her hold him like this.
When He Jiaojiao woke up, it was not yet completely bright outside, but the moonlight was very bright tonight, so even He Jiaojiao could see clearly what was happening in the tree hole.
The tree hole was not big, and there were only her and Chi Yan in it. A pair of green eyes suddenly appeared outside. If it were in the past, He Jiaojiao would definitely be scared, but she now knew that these eyes should be Mo Ran's.
Mo Ran seemed to have noticed that He Jiaojiao had woken up, and he moved his huge snake head close to the entrance of the tree hole.
"Why did you wake up?" Mo Ran lowered his voice. "Are you feeling unwell? Or are you hungry?"
Mo Ran remembered that He Jiaojiao would get hungry easily during her pregnancy. Calculating the time, it had indeed been quite a while since her last meal.
He Jiaojiao shook her head and looked at Chi Yan who was still sleeping beside her. She wanted to move, but Chi Yan kept holding her. If she moved, Chi Yan would definitely wake up.
"It's still a while before dawn, Jiaojiao, you should get some sleep!" Mo Ran seemed to realize that He Jiaojiao didn't want to disturb Chi Yan, so he stuck his snake head in. The pink snake Xingzi gently swept across He Jiaojiao's face, then withdrew its head in satisfaction.
He Jiaojiao closed her eyes again, but for some reason, she couldn't fall asleep.
"what happened?"
The crimson fox eyes opened, and there was clarity in them, as if it had woken up very early.
"I can't sleep!"
He Jiaojiao sighed helplessly, then opened her eyes and looked up blankly.
"Oh?"
Chi Yan turned sideways, supporting his head with one hand, with a red light flashing in his eyes, which made He Jiaojiao feel as if something was wrong.
"Since I can't sleep, can Jiaojiao..."
As Chi Yan got closer, He Jiaojiao's heartbeat quickened. When Chi Yan's face was so close, He Jiaojiao quickly closed her eyes.
The long-awaited kiss did not come as expected. He Jiaojiao opened her eyes suspiciously, but the next second, her lips were blocked.
After a passionate lovemaking, Chi Yan lay on his side with a satisfied look on his face, supporting his chin and looking at He Jiaojiao who had fallen asleep.
Look, he's asleep!
