Chapter 29 On the Road
Even after returning from the forest hunt, Ruan Mianmian was still caught up in the excitement.
"Ruanruan, you're awake? Did you sleep well last night?" Sen said happily, flicking his forked tongue as he saw the little female wake up.
Ruan Mianmian was in a good mood at the moment, and even the huge snake head seemed to have some handsome features.
"Sen, I slept really well last night! Before, when I was alone, I was always too scared to fall asleep, afraid that wild animals would find me. But yesterday, I felt so safe with you guarding the cave entrance. Thank you!"
Hearing the young female's praise, Sen happily shook his snake head. In the beastman continent, receiving praise from a female was the greatest honor for a male beastman!
“Little female, have something to eat and then we’ll get going. It’s autumn now, and winter is just around the corner. We need to get back to our habitat as soon as possible.”
This season is not obvious in the tree-lined Lala Mountains, but once you leave the Lala Mountains, the chill of autumn immediately becomes apparent.
Ruan Mianmian nodded and began to eat.
The food here is, of course, the rabbit meat that Sen hunted yesterday. She won't reveal that she can provide food until she has completely gotten to know and trust Sen.
As she ate, she thought about her future life.
Although she didn't know what the forest's habitat was like, she believed that with the forest's protection, she would be able to reach it safely.
After finishing their meal, Sen led Ruan Mianmian on their journey. Along the way, they encountered all sorts of animals, but Sen easily dealt with them all.
All the prey that had been dealt with were collected by Ruan Mianmian. Sen once again marveled at the little female's miracle; it was truly amazing.
As they drew closer to the edge of the mountains, the weather grew increasingly cold. Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but worry; she wondered if she could adapt to such an environment.
However, Mori kept reassuring her, telling her not to worry and that he would take good care of her.
Ruan Mianmian felt incredibly warm inside upon hearing this. She knew that no matter how many difficulties lay ahead, she could rely on Sen.
Night fell again, and Sen found a cave to stay in.
This time, however, the cave was extremely large; when Ruan Mianmian walked in, it felt as big as a football field.
Sen wandered back and forth in the cave, probing for any dangers. After circling around, he settled down at the cave entrance, feeling secure.
"Mori, aren't you going hunting?"
Ruan Mianmian and he had been traveling all day. Along the way, Sen would stop to pick some delicious fruit for her to eat. However, Ruan Mianmian did not see Sen eat anything all day.
“We anacondas can go a month without food. Now we’re nearing the edge of the Lala Mountains, where all sorts of wild animals appear from time to time. If I go hunting, you might be in danger. Before, when you were in the central part of the Lala Mountains, most animals wouldn’t approach, but it’s different here. Even ordinary rabbits could pose a danger to you. So I have to keep an eye on you at all times!”
Ruan Mianmian listened quietly to Sen's explanation, secretly rejoicing that fate had arranged for her to meet Sen so early.
Without his presence, she could hardly imagine whether she could have left the mysterious and perilous Lala Mountains unscathed.
As night falls, a gentle breeze blows, carrying a slight chill.
Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but shiver, wrapped her thin coat tightly around herself, and then curled up and hid in a corner of the cave.
At this moment, she resembled a frightened fawn, appearing so helpless and vulnerable.
Just then, Sen said softly, "Little female, if you don't mind, you can lie in my arms. I will curl up into a circle so that you can be inside and protected from this biting cold wind."
As he spoke these words, a slight blush rose to Sen's face, but since he was in beast form at the moment, no one else could detect this subtle change.
You should know that in this fantastical orc continent, only couples who love each other will huddle together for warmth.
For a female, if she is willing to accept a male's intimate contact in his animal form, it is equivalent to indicating that she has accepted him as her male partner.
This special behavior symbolizes a deep emotional bond, once established, as unbreakable as a bond that transcends life and death.
After spending two days together, Ruan Mianmian was no longer afraid of Sen's beast form. She agreed to Sen's request without much thought, since it was for her own good.
Sen was overjoyed when he saw Ruan Mianmian agree. He quickly curled up into a large circle and let Ruan Mianmian in.
Looking at the towering snake before her, Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. This snake was truly enormous!
She carefully climbed up, the hard scales digging painfully into her hands. With great effort, she finally reached Sen's belly. She gently sat down, feeling a warm breath emanating from Sen beneath her.
Isn't it said that snakes are cold-blooded animals? Why does the large snake beneath me feel slightly warm?
Mori's body is very soft, and although the scales are a bit hard, it is still very comfortable overall.
Ruan Mianmian relaxed, leaned against Sen, and enjoyed this rare moment of tranquility.
Sen quietly held Ruan Mianmian in his arms, his heart filled with happiness.
