Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 110: All for You

    

. It stared straight at Lianri and Wuyou."Worry-free, please hold the evil spirit puppet for a moment, I need to crush these troublesome bones."The moment ripples spoke, I reached out and pulled Rayon...Upon awakening, the warmth enveloped me. I gazed around through the flickering firelight, taking in a circle of unfamiliar orcs. Among them was a strikingly beautiful female, her gaze finally settling on Wei's face before she reached out and gently touched his cheek, as if confirming she had found the right person.

"Is it really you It can't be!"

"It's me, warmth, it's me!"

Tears, warm like broken pearls, streamed down her face as she confirmed the beast before her was truly gone.

And clumsy Wei could only use his hands to awkwardly wipe away the warm tears that fell, unfortunately, the more he wiped, the more there were.

The ripples were unbearable, so she directly threw a piece of hemp cloth to Wei, letting him wipe his tears. This was still the leftover cloth from her making hemp clothes.

Warmth seemed to realize that there were other people around, especially since she had given the hemp cloth to a female. She became aware and asked:

"Are they right Are you saying you joined the ranks of the Beastmen and did all those bad things"

A flicker of embarrassment crossed Wei's eyes before she quickly stuffed the small piece of cloth into Wen's warm hand. Only then did she speak:

They are fierce and solitary, my companions. The three of us are all followers of the Ripple of the Gods. After meeting them, I left the pack of wandering beasts and came here to the Tiger Clan's territory.

The divine messenger brought new discoveries of food, and new ways to prepare it, as well as methods for long-term storage that would help the tribe survive the rainy season and the cold season.”

And at this moment, only the three words "Follower" echoed in her ears. This time, her tears refused to be contained. She wept and murmured:

"Woooo, it's all my fault. I was fooled by Xiao, I'm so stupid. I should have believed you, how could you do this to me You said I would definitely not refuse... I was deceived."

The warm words were jumbled, but Ripples understood the meaning behind them somewhat.

Ripple rubbed her temples, she hated these kind of females who were prone to shedding gold beans. In her eyes, the females on the Beast World Continent were all strong and resilient, even though they weren't as powerful as the male beastmen, they also bore half the responsibility. Obviously, this gentle one was an exception.

"Don't cry, I made him follow me mainly to protect me. He's just my bodyguard, not my suitor. He only has you in his heart."

Ripple spoke, explaining that she really didn't want to hear "boo hoo" anymore, lest they attract the tiger tribe orcs.

And the three orcs, who had been listening to Ripples' explanation, all paused their movements and twitched the corners of their mouths.

They knew their role very well: pathfinders, pack animals, mounts, and handy lackeys who could be sent anywhere on a whim. They weren't even guards; after all, the Ripple Sprite was so formidable that she had taken out five wandering beastmen without batting an eyelid.

"Is that true"

She asked with warm, teary eyes.

"With the beast god above me, why would I lie like this."

The ripples spoke softly.

Weiye nodded and then said:

"I follow the divine messenger, just hoping to return to the Tiger Clan's territory and wash away the crimes on my body, because I haven't done anything, I haven't hurt you!"

"I know! Before, I was blinded, thinking that you forced me when I didn't give you permission. At that time, I was groggy and smelled your scent. When I woke up a little more, I saw you too, so..."

“I told you, I received a notification from Howl that you weren’t feeling well and asked me to check on you. When I entered your cave, I found you lying in a pile of furs, your face flushed. I thought you had a fever, so I immediately went forward to feel your temperature, but was accused of forcing myself on you.”

When he mentioned this, his face was still grim. He had been splashed with a huge bucket of dirty water, made to bear the blame for crimes he never committed, and even expelled from the Tiger Clan. This was something that had always bothered him.

"Yes, I was wrong! I now know who forced me."

He said gritting his teeth.

"Who"

"Shout!"

"How did you determine that Didn't he offer to make a contract with you when I was expelled from the Tiger Clan territory"

Wei Chen said softly, his gaze lingering on her burgeoning belly.

I said I would consider it, but I didn't agree to him. Only after I confirmed that I was pregnant did he become more enthusiastic, especially the way he looked at my belly, which made me scared.

When I was five months pregnant, he approached me, trying to persuade me not to carry the child. After all, he said, it was your child, and you had been banished from the tribe. You wouldn't be able to properly care for it.

But I didn't touch you that day!

"That's why I had this cub, at least there's a one in three chance it proves the orc who hurt me wasn't you."

Warmth finally became clever and spoke of her plans.

"After I insisted on giving birth to this cub, I kept having accidents—falling for no reason or being pushed from behind while gathering. That's why I designed my escape from the tribe. I wanted to find you."

Rill coughed softly, then said:

"When I checked her earlier while stopping the bleeding, I saw that she's carrying a male cub. As long as this little one is born healthy, it proves at least that you didn't force Warmth. Because if you had, the cub she's carrying wouldn't be the white-bellied black-patterned one."

What

"Really"

"

You can tell!

"

Three voices sounded simultaneously, showing that everyone was very excited.

"It can be seen that Wen Nuan should already be eight months pregnant with her offspring, and she will give birth in three more months."

And the wolf, it seems, realized this as well. That's why he tried to persuade you to give up the child. Seeing your refusal, he resorted to underhanded tactics.

It was precisely because of this that Wen Nuan became alert and guessed who the real person hurting her was.

Ripple rubbed her ears and said softly.

"Yes, that's exactly why I ran out."

"You're brave, venturing to the outskirts of our Tiger Clan territory. It takes more than a day or two to reach this far, and your speed is much slower than even an Orc's."

Ripple curiously asked, "What's this"

Generally, large beasts have vast territories that would take ten or eight days to traverse.

“After I discovered that I was being targeted, I pretended to have a fever because it was the hot season and I was also pregnant. This is a common occurrence. Then I asked my good friend Sunny to cover for me. She would come see me every day and leave before nightfall.”

The next day, with Sunny's help, I left the tribe sitting on her trained bird. Because it was nighttime, no patrolling orcs found us. The bird flew as far away from the tribe as it could, then dropped me off before returning to the tribe.

Once I confirmed my direction, I walked slowly, stopping frequently to ensure the cubs in my belly were safe. Every three days, I would drink the potion that the shaman had prepared for me to protect the fetus. However, two days ago, I discovered that a tiger tribe orc was actually following me.

I don't want to be sent back without seeing Wei. And this time, the leader is Xiao. He will definitely take this opportunity to make my unborn cubs disappear. There are plenty of excuses he could use.r sister-in-law together."Oh, here you are!Little Six reluctantly walked to the bed and, together, they helped Ripples down from the bed, one on each side. They were extremely careful, all pretense of...
