Chapter 126 Immersed in Grief
Xia Gu and Xue Lan immediately became alert, unsure of who was making the footsteps.
Just as the footsteps drew closer, Xue Lan and Xia Gu finally saw the approaching clansmen and Xue Qing.
Xue Qingjin miraculously woke up, and they arrived just in time.
"Leave the rest to us. I'm here to tell you that my strength has increased quite a bit!"
At this moment, Xue Qing gripped her weapon tightly, walked directly into the ice cave, and began to attack the guardian beasts.
The tribesmen united as one, while Xia Gu launched attacks from behind.
In no time, the two guardian beasts finally fell down, and everyone cheered.
After everyone calmed down, Xia Gu quickly walked up to Xue Qing and carefully examined her.
"What's going on? Aren't those symptoms still there? I feel like you're still burning up. You haven't been holding it in, have you?"
Xia Gu had barely uttered those words when she almost took them back, because Xue Qing in front of her did seem different from before.
Furthermore, Xue Qing's actions just now were enough to prove this point; his movements were extremely nimble, and everything was just right.
"I don't know what happened. I suddenly got up. Although my symptoms were still there, I couldn't feel them at all. I just felt very cold, but I had the strength to control the energy in my body."
When this matter was brought up, Xueqing scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly, as she herself didn't really know what was going on.
Xia Gu was very surprised, but she also felt very lucky.
Zhang Fenglin quickly went over to take a look, which shows that you can't use normal thinking to observe this matter.
"Xue Qing must have broken through her own power limit while she was unconscious, which is why she was able to increase her strength so much. However, this is a good thing for us."
Zhang Fenglin patted Xue Qing on the shoulder. It was really lucky to have encountered this situation. Now that the problem was solved, the cold poison in her body could be cleared away as soon as possible.
"Now that we have the Spirit Ice Crystal, you need to absorb its energy as soon as possible to clear the cold poison from your body. This way, even if your strength increases significantly, there will be no backlash."
Furthermore, Xia Gu discovered that all the beastmen could actually touch this essence, thus removing the restriction that previously only Xia Gu could access it.
This relieved Xia Gu completely, otherwise it would have taken a long time for the transformation to take place within her body.
After absorbing the power of the ice crystals, Xue Qing's body was completely cleared of the cold poison and she fully recovered.
"Goddess, touch my body now, is it no longer burning hot? I should be considered cured, right?"
At this moment, Xueqing quickly walked up to Xia Gu, lowered her head, and looked at Xia Gu with anticipation.
Xia Gu was truly helpless in the face of Xue Qing's coquettishness, and could only gently touch her to figure out what to do.
"Alright, I know you're the best. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to save us in time. You deserve the most credit for this operation."
Faced with Xueqing, a male, Xia Gu could only praise him with the same care she would give a child.
Whether they are orcs or humans, they are all the same; all males are the same.
Eric's relationship with Summer Mushroom and the Beastmen deepened during this time.
The mission was successfully completed, and everyone had smiles on their faces.
In addition, they had already reaped a great harvest, their essence had been completely depleted, and everyone returned home laden with spoils.
Eric knew that Xia Gu and the others would soon be returning to the mountain tribe, but he was always a little nervous about it.
Xia Gu could immediately sense Eric's emotions and was indeed quite curious about the matter.
"What's wrong? I feel like something's off about your mood."
“We’re going back to the mountain tribe now. Don’t you want to come back with us? If you don’t want to, I can understand.”
Xia Gu knew that Eric had always been a wandering orc, and now that he had returned to the High Mountain Tribe, he would definitely have to abide by the rules and regulations there.
It's unclear whether Eric is familiar enough with these systems. If not, Xia Gu doesn't want to force him.
However, in the past few days, Xia Gu and Eric have indeed gotten along very harmoniously, and there have been no problems at all.
Eric quickly shook his head. Things weren't like Xia Gu thought at all, so he was speechless when faced with these situations.
"Of course I want to go back to the mountain tribe with you. I don't want to leave you at all."
When Erek said those words, his eyes were full of deep affection, showing no sign of parting, only reluctance.
"So what exactly happened?" Xia Gu was indeed troubled, not understanding what the male was thinking.
“I want to go back with you, but I used to belong to another tribe. It’s just that the tribe always disliked my appearance, so they kicked me out. I really didn’t expect that I could become your wife. I always thought you would dislike me.”
“But recently, you’ve never shown any disgust towards me, so I don’t think you’re looking down on me. That makes me want to go back with you even more. But I’m wondering if you’ll feel pressured if you take me back, because I’m not really good-looking.”
Eric touched his handsome face, but everyone was stunned.
Because Eric's male face is so perfect, and his features are so handsome, the word "ugly" simply doesn't apply to him.
Xuan Liming, standing next to Eric, understood Eric's meaning, because Eric's race, with its appearance, would indeed be considered too feminine.
“Xiaxia, you can’t blame Eric for this. His race values ugliness as beauty, which is completely different from ours. We have normal aesthetic standards.”
However, to the people of that race, Eric was like a little female, completely devoid of any beauty.
Xia Gu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this explanation; he felt like Eric was in Versailles.
"So that's what you meant. Don't worry, you're considered very handsome in our area. You don't need to feel any pressure at all. Besides, bringing you back will only make me look good."
Xia Gu quickly explained the situation, not wanting Eric to remain immersed in sadness.
