Chapter 944: Chapter 949: Lead the Way Quickly
Masha nodded thoughtfully, "Where do you want to go? I’m quite familiar with Xiluo Forest, and if you need it, I can guide you."
Ye Qiao smiled, "No need, I came to Xiluo Forest to search for someone, and I don’t yet know exactly where to go. Although that Ground Tiger isn’t the most honest of people, guiding me isn’t a problem. You probably have a lot of things to take care of, so I won’t bother you any longer. I should be leaving, too."
Masha felt quite ashamed.
She had received so many things from Ye Qiao, but in the end, she couldn’t offer any help.
So, after a moment’s thought, she asked again, "Who are you looking for? My clan isn’t large, but we might be able to help a bit."
Seeing that Ye Qiao was about to decline, Masha added, "Since you’re looking for someone, the more people help, the better. You’ve done me such a big favor, and now that you need help, I definitely won’t stand by and do nothing."
Ye Qiao sighed, "Alright, the person I’m looking for is..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a roar that could shock heaven and earth, and make ghosts and gods weep, drifted into Ye Qiao’s ears.
"Lady! Come out quickly! Something terrible has happened!"
Ye Qiao recognized that it was a voice from their Taoyuan Beastmen.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, he smiled at Masha, "I’ll go see what’s happening." 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
Masha paused for a moment, then followed him out.
"Lady! Where are you?! Come out quickly!"
"Lady, something terrible has happened!"
Ye Qiao’s face crumpled with annoyance as he shouted, "What’s all the howling? Didn’t I say to wait for me to come out before discussing any issues?"
The Taoyuan Beastmen looked more agitated than the next, each clamoring to speak first, creating such a ruckus that nothing could be heard clearly.
Ye Qiao pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache, "Stop the noise, just one person speak!"
Everyone, as if by an unspoken agreement, very tacitly pushed Shield Mountain forward.
Shield Mountain’s face was also somewhat flushed as he hurriedly began, "Lady, I just caught a whiff of the sacred female’s qi."
Ye Qiao instantly widened his eyes, "Such an important matter, why didn’t you mention it sooner?!"
Thinking over it, he sensed something was amiss, so he hurriedly continued before Shield Mountain could react, "Alright, no more talk. In which direction is the cub?"
Shield Mountain’s face turned even redder, and he stammered without being able to say a word.
Ye Qiao became anxious, "What’s the matter? Speak, will you?"
Shield Mountain cast a glance towards Masha standing behind Ye Qiao and said, "When the Chief of the Sky Swallowing Python Clan returned just now, I smelled a faint trace of the sacred female in her qi. The scent was very light, and now it’s gone. So, I also don’t know which direction it was in... or perhaps we could go in the direction the Chief came from, maybe I could catch something else..."
Shield Mountain’s voice grew lower and lower until at last, he hung his head in shame.
Ye Qiao turned to look at Masha, "Did you see anyone when you came back? A small young female, very pretty and clean, wearing beast skin clothes similar to mine."
Masha realized that this small female might be the one Ye Qiao was searching for, so she recalled and said.
"I was in a hurry when I came back, and I vaguely heard some quarreling near the Thorny Fruit Tree. I didn’t go in that direction, so I can’t be sure if the person you’re looking for was there or not."
Upon hearing this,
Ye Qiao hesitated no more and took off, "Lead the way quickly, let’s go and have a look!"
Masha nodded and followed Ye Qiao’s pace.
At the back of the group, the face of the Ground Tiger turned slightly pale.
Thorny Fruit Tree?
Didn’t Emma and the others go to gather Thorny Fruit?
