Chapter 610: Chapter 613: Does He Like You?
Su Tang, filled with bewilderment, sat on the grassland and clumsily placed the Beast Skin Bag full of salt on a rock.
Yao, looking rather uncomfortable, looked at Su Tang and softly asked, "Why are you sitting on the ground?"
"Huh? What?" She asked, leaving Su Tang confused.
Luckily, Xi’en stepped up promptly to clarify, "You can put the things on the ground and sit on the rock."
As he said this, he extended a smiling hand towards Su Tang, intending to lift her up from the ground.
Su Tang didn’t think too much and instinctively reached out to hold Xi’en’s hand.
In response, a certain Tiger’s jar of jealousy suddenly spilled over. He sulkingly stepped forward, single-handedly squeezed Xi’en aside, and pulled Su Tang into his embrace.
Gaiyin then lifted his head, his face wore a subtle yet triumphant smile as he provocatively looked at Xi’en.
Xi’en was completely bewildered.
It took him quite a while to understand and he looked at Su Tang with a hint of disappointment, "But...didn’t you say you’re not bonded?"
Su Tang abruptly came to her senses!
Why has Xi’en been so concerned about whether Gaiyin is bonded? Could it be that he wants to set him up with someone? Absolutely not!
So, she quickly wrapped her arms around the tiger’s waist as if declaring her territory, and replied, "Soon!"
Gaiyin was very pleased with Su Tang’s response. A genuine smile edged on his lips as he stroked Su Tang’s soft hair, his voice brimming with happiness, "Yes, soon."
Xi’en, upon seeing this, looked back at Gaiyin and then at Su Tang, finally sagging his head in melancholy and settling silently on a different rock.
Thus, everyone else properly sat down cross-legged on the big rocks.
The females, however, remained standing aside, watching them intently with smiles on their faces, which was quite unsettling.
Qiu Mo carefully crept closer to Su Tang and whispered into his ear, "The customs of the West Ming Deer Clan are quite peculiar. At first, I thought these were tables, turns out they are stools."
Su Tang nodded her head in agreement.
Hadn’t she just made a fool of herself?
Qiu Mo then whispered into Su Tang’s ear again, "The young master of the West Ming Deer Clan keeps staring at you, is he in love with you?"
Su Tang hastily poked Qiu Mo’s waist, "Don’t talk nonsense, sit properly. The Ming Deer Chief should arrive any minute now, and we mustn’t be impolite."
Qiu Mo stuck out his tongue and quietly returned to his place.
However, Gaiyin had heard their conversation. He glanced at Xi’en and saw that he was indeed looking over this way.
Gaiyin grumbled inwardly.
With an indifferent expression, he shifted slightly, inconspicuously hiding Su Tang fully behind him. Once sure that Xi’en couldn’t see Su Tang, Gaiyin finally nodded in satisfaction.
But unexpectedly, when he glancing at Xi’en, he found him still looking regretfully in their direction!
Gaiyin became a little infuriated!
Even though he had completely blocked the view, he wasn’t giving up! How much more fond does he need to be?
Internally, Gaiyin began considering whether he should give him a beating before they leave!
Eventually--
The chieftain of the West Ming Deer Clan made his late entrance.
Shengya, walking with grace, had a polite smile on his face, "Welcome, I am Shengya, the chief of the Ming Deer Clan, and also Xi’en’s mother. Thank you for bringing him back."
As she spoke, her gaze swept over each person, eventually settling on Gaiyin.
Gaiyin responded with a slight nod, "You’re welcome, if it weren’t for young master Xi’en, we wouldn’t have found this place."
