Chapter 991: Extra - Wen Ye Couple 7
Suddenly, the Old Priest’s body shuddered!
"The Blood Light has risen, the living soul returns! The White Tiger Clan is about to rise again!"
With a thud, the Old Priest knelt on the ground, bowing in the direction of the cave entrance, his voice filled with intense excitement.
"It is Aqiao, the true Aqiao! May the Beast God bless us, may the old chieftain bless us, Aqiao has safely returned! Our White Tiger Clan will soon regain its former glory."
The expression on Ye Qiao’s face was now that of the last emoji in the seventh row of the WeChat chat interface, bewildered.
She didn’t understand what had happened at all and was hazily supported as she participated in a primitive tribe’s feast.
The tribe’s females, who had previously avoided her like she was a snake, now joyfully surrounded her, staring at her as if she were a monkey.
From time to time, someone would ask, "Aqiao, have you really recovered? Do you recognize who I am?"
"Aqiao, why aren’t you speaking?"
"Aqiao, look at what I have. It’s the hind leg meat you used to love the most, say my name and I’ll give it to you."
Ye Qiao looked at the surrounding tribespeople with an expressionless face, finally understanding why infants cry when they are teased by adults surrounding them.
It was really, too freaking annoying!
Moreover, with a wound on her head, Ye Qiao only felt that the tribespeople’s buzzing gave her a headache.
Just as she was about to push them away, a comparatively clear voice entered her ears.
"Alright, there’s no need to crowd here if it’s not necessary. Aqiao’s head wound hasn’t healed yet; I’ll take her to rest."
The tribespeople immediately stopped buzzing around her and scattered cleanly in twos and threes.
Seeing the person who came, Ye Qiao felt a bit awkward.
For it was the mate of her original self, Wen Jue, the chieftain of the White Tiger Clan.
In a strict sense, this was her first face-to-face interaction with Wen Jue.
The sudden sight of his face still took Ye Qiao by surprise, simply because the chieftain’s features were truly extraordinary.
To be honest, the members of the White Tiger Clan were all rather attractive, but perhaps due to the primitive and backward conditions, none took much care of themselves.
The females were slightly better off, but many Beastmen had hair that nearly clung to their scalps, faintly odoriferous.
So even though they had good-looking features, it was hard for Ye Qiao to accept them with greasy hair.
But just imagine, in the midst of a bunch of greasy heads, there suddenly appears a young man with a more rugged countenance, who appears clean, refreshed, tall and thin—it’s simply a visual feast!
"Does your head still hurt?"
As Wen Jue spoke, he reached out as if he wanted to touch Ye Qiao’s head.
Ye Qiao instinctively dodged. 𝒏𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
Although she knew she was no longer in her original world and the man before her was not Shi Yan,
the gloom in her heart was hard to dispel, and she held a slight guard against the "original self’s" mate before her.
There was a moment of silence in the air.
Wen Jue’s expression remained natural as he retracted his hand, as if the awkward moment had never occurred.
He asked in a low voice, "Is there any other discomfort? You need to change your dressing. Do you want me to help you, or should I find someone else?"
Ye Qiao’s expression was somewhat stiff and her tone was firm as she said, "No need. I can do it myself. Just give me the medicine."
Wen Jue’s gold-flecked eyes deeply gazed at Ye Qiao, but he remained silent.
Ye Qiao felt tingles on her scalp from his stare, feeling awkward all over.
Just as she was thinking about whether to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere, Wen Jue nodded.
"Alright, I’ll take you back to the cave, and then have someone send the medicine to you."
