Chapter 164 Touching
In recent days, Sen noticed that the little female was always intentionally or unintentionally avoiding him and asking other orcs for advice.
Although he tried to pretend he didn't care, deep down he couldn't suppress his concern about the matter.
Especially when he realized that the little female seemed to have found all the other orcs but had not come to him, the awkward feeling in his heart grew stronger and gradually took over.
As night fell, Sen deliberately did not wait outside the little female's tent as usual.
This approach is both a form of self-torture and an expectation that Ruan Mianmian can provide him with a reasonable explanation.
However, Ruan Mianmian was unaware of this; she had already gotten into the habit of saying goodnight to Sen every night.
But tonight, when she was getting ready to sleep, she was surprised to find that the giant snake that had been guarding her tent had vanished without a trace.
Suspicious, Ruan Mianmian began to slowly explore her surroundings, hoping to find traces of Sen.
She cautiously took a few steps forward, carefully observing her surroundings, but still couldn't find Sen.
"Zhi, have you seen Sen?" Helpless, Ruan Mianmian had no choice but to walk to Zhi's earthen bed and ask about Sen's whereabouts.
Zhi looked at Ruan Mianmian with a knowing expression and replied calmly, "That child probably has something on his mind. I just saw him walking towards the gate."
The cave was now completely shrouded in darkness, and the heat emitted by the fire crystals made it unnecessary to use a campfire inside.
Without the light of the campfire, she struggled to move in the pitch black, with only the faint glow of the fire crystals barely guiding her along the way.
She cautiously made her way forward, taking a long time to reach the center of the hall. There, a huge fire crystal shone brightly, enough for her to see her surroundings clearly.
She looked around and observed carefully before finally finding Mori alone in the corner where the items were stored.
Ruan Mianmian walked towards Sen, gently stroking his back, and asked with concern, "Sen, what's wrong? Why are you here all alone?"
Mori looked up, a hint of sadness in his eyes, and said softly, "I thought you didn't need me anymore..."
Hearing Sen's words, Ruan Mianmian looked bewildered and asked in confusion, "Who told you I don't need you anymore?"
Sen frowned, his tone tinged with grievance and dissatisfaction, and replied, "What have you been asking about lately? You've been secretly looking for other orcs behind my back. Aren't you trying to replace me?"
Ruan Mianmian's heart tightened. She finally understood Sen's thoughts. So he was jealous!
She smiled helplessly, gently hugged Sen, and whispered, "How could that be? You are very, very important to me."
Sen's body gradually relaxed, and he hugged Ruan Mianmian tightly, feeling her warmth, and his mood became pleasant.
He buried his head in Ruan Mianmian's neck and took a deep breath, as if he wanted to keep her scent with him forever.
"Ruan Ruan, I don't want you to hide anything from me. I'm very capable too. If there's anything that needs to be dealt with, I can handle it. You can come to me."
Sen raised his hand and gently stroked Ruan Mianmian's hair, his eyes overflowing with deep affection.
Ruan Mianmian felt warm inside as she sensed Sen's sincerity and care.
She tilted her head slightly, looking directly into Mori's deep and captivating eyes, a hint of apology and tenderness flickering within them, and said softly, "Okay, okay, I know, I won't hide it from you anymore. But this time I really didn't mean to avoid you, I just wanted to find out some things. And these things involve you, so I didn't dare to come to you easily."
Sen's eyes showed deep doubt. He frowned slightly and asked, puzzled, "If you have any questions, you can just ask me! After all, no one knows me better than me, right?"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Mianmian's face showed a hint of helplessness. She gently rubbed her forehead, sighed, and said, "Sigh, alright, it's all my fault. I blame myself for not explaining things clearly."
After saying this, she quietly moved closer to Sen, carefully whispered in his ear, and continued, "Actually... I have a way to make you revert to your ancestral form, but this method requires finding one thing. As far as I know, that thing might be on the summit of the snow-capped mountains in the north, so I've been trying to find out everything about that place these past few days."
When Sen heard Ruan Mianmian say that he could revert to his ancestral form, his eyes kept flashing.
If Ruan Mianmian looked into his eyes at this moment, she would see an unyielding darkness within them.
"Is it really possible to revert to ancestral traits?" Sen asked softly.
Ruan Mianmian looked into his eyes and nodded firmly.
"Don't go!" Sen said firmly after seeing Ruan Mianmian's reply.
"Why?" Ruan Mianmian looked at him in astonishment.
“The summit of the snow-capped mountain is extremely dangerous. I don’t want you to take the risk.” Sen’s eyes were filled with worry.
Ruan Mianmian grasped his hand and said firmly, "But this is the only chance for you to revert to your ancestral form, and I don't want to miss it."
Sen shook his head. "I care more about your safety than your ancestral instincts. Promise me you won't go."
Ruan Mianmian bit her lip, her heart filled with conflict. She knew Sen meant well, but she didn't want to give up the chance to make him revert to his ancestral form.
In the end, she decided to listen to Sen for the time being. "Okay, I promise you. But we still need to think of another way. However, even if I wanted to go now, I couldn't. It's covered in snow everywhere! I can't even get out of this plain."
Sen hugged Ruan Mianmian tightly, feeling sorry for her, after hearing her somewhat self-deprecating words.
"Ruan Ruan, don't ask about that place anymore, and don't tell anyone that there's a way to cure atavism. It will put you in danger. Promise me, let's leave it at that."
Seeing Sen's serious expression, Ruan Mianmian softened and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I promise I won't ask for information anymore, and I won't tell anyone. Don't worry."
Upon hearing the little female's promise, Sen couldn't help but nuzzle the top of her head. "Ruan Ruan, I don't want anything, I just want you to be safe and sound by my side!"
