Chapter 127: Chapter 127: The Reunion on the Serpent’s Back
Both Han Jue and Rong Ye were ready to fight the giant snake beastman to death. Even if they could feel the crushing power of this snake beastman, they would not take the step back. Because they realized that damn stinky snake has the scent of their female.
The ground shook under their power. Just when they were about to leap forward, a cheerful voice suddenly echoed from above.
"Rong Ye! Han Jue! You are here!"
Both of them froze.
Their tails stiffened first, then started wagging uncontrollably. Their sharp eyes instantly softened, glowing with joy. The killing intent vanished in a blink.
They raised their heads, and there, sitting on top of the giant snake’s head, was a soft, round female with bright, shining eyes and a smile that could lt mountains.
"Lan Lan!" Rong Ye gasped, his ears twitching as his whole body trembled with excitent. "Lan Lan is here!"
Su Qinglan waved her hand happily, her eyes curving like crescents when she saw their faces light up. "Rong Ye! Han Jue!" she called out again, her voice full of warmth.
Without thinking twice, she slid down from the top of Xuan Long and landed lightly on the ground. Her steps were quick and light as she rushed to them. Before either of them could react, she was already rubbing Rong Ye’s big fluffy head, fingers buried deep in his soft fur.
She doesn’t want to miss any opportunities to pet these giant fur balls. Her joy almost overflowed when she looked at them in their beast forms. They are just too cute; she could snuggle them all night.
Rong Ye’s eyes curved, looking exactly like a sly fox’s as he humd in satisfaction, his tail swishing proudly. "Ahh... Lan Lan’s touch feels the best," he murmured, leaning closer.
Su Qinglan chuckled. "You silly thing. I’m so happy you ca." She didn’t even notice that her other hand had already reached out to touch the stoic wolf beside him.
Han Jue’s fur was thick and cold to touch but sohow comforting. She rubbed his big head too, completely lost in the mont.
Han Jue stiffened at first, his icy blue eyes locking on her face. But he didn’t push her away. He just stood there quietly, watching her. His eyes were calm on the surface, but there was a storm hidden deep inside.
For the first ti, Su Qinglan noticed how deep and cold his eyes were, like a frozen lake that could swallow her whole. She blinked, feeling her heart skip a beat.
Oh no. What am I doing? She thought in panic and quickly pulled her hands away, coughing lightly to hide her embarrassnt. "Ah... so, how did you two find ?" she asked, trying to change the topic.
Before either Rong Ye or Han Jue could open their mouths, Stove jumped straight into her arms like a jealous little child. His leaves trembled in anger as he started waving his small vine arms around.
Su Qinglan looked down at him with a helpless smile. "What is it now, Stove?"
He puffed up his little body and waved dramatically, pointing at Rong Ye and Han Jue, then at himself. He made a series of cute but complaining gestures that clearly said, "It was ! I brought them here! I worked so hard, and they didn’t even thank ! They even threatened to pluck my leaves!"
Su Qinglan’s lips twitched. She hadn’t heard a single word from him, but his exaggerated movents said everything perfectly. "Oh my, Stove has worked hard," she said with a laugh and gave him a long, smoochy kiss on his leafy head.
Stove imdiately went limp with happiness, leaves curling in satisfaction as if all his effort was worth it now.
But Rong Ye wasn’t about to let him steal all the attention. The fox beastman’s eyes glead mischievously. "Lan Lan~" he said, voice full of charm, before turning into his human form in one smooth motion.
His long silver hair fluttered as he walked straight to her and pulled her into a tight hug. "I missed you so much," he whispered in a dramatic tone. "I couldn’t sleep well, couldn’t eat well, and couldn’t even breathe properly! You have to console
now!"
He hugged her tighter and tighter, ignoring Stove’s protests, until Su Qinglan squeaked and smacked his back. "Hey, be careful! You’ll squish the cubs!"
That one sentence made Rong Ye freeze completely. His violet eyes widened as he slowly looked down at her slightly bulging stomach.
Then his expression softened into one full of warmth and exaggerated emotion. "Ohh...my little cubs," he said, crouching down instantly and putting his ear close to her belly. "Did you miss Daddy Rong Ye? Daddy missed you so much!"
Su Qinglan couldn’t stop the smile that spread across her face. He was impossible, dramatic as ever, but sohow she couldn’t bring herself to scold him. "You’re such a drama king," she muttered under her breath.
Before Rong Ye could continue his act, Han Jue finally transford into his human form as well. He stepped closer, his tall figure blocking out part of the sunlight. His white hair shimred faintly, and his icy blue eyes were calm.
"Are you alright?" Han Jue asked quietly, his gaze briefly flicking to the giant snake behind her. His body was still tense, and Su Qinglan could clearly feel the pressure radiating from him. "What happened? How did you end up here, so far from the tribe?"
Su Qinglan blinked. She was about to explain when Han Jue’s eyes darkened even more.
He had already noticed the subtle way the snake was watching him and Rong Ye, his aura thick with possessiveness. Every instinct in Han Jue’s body scread danger. That snake wasn’t just powerful; he was jealous.
Han Jue’s jaw tightened as he slowly pieced things together. The snake’s gaze never left Su Qinglan. And she was even wearing clothes made from snakeskin, no doubt.
His chest tightened as he rembered what that ant in beastman culture. When a serpent beastman shed his skin and offered it to a female, it was a deep, intimate symbol... a confession of sorts. It ant he wanted to acknowledge her as his chosen female, his mate.
And if the female accepted it...
Han Jue’s heart thudded painfully. Did they already...?
The thought burned his chest like fire.
