Chapter 76 Coveting
Le Zhi certainly couldn't beat Yan Qiu's cunning mind. Even though they seldom went out every day, they both lived in the main temple of priests, so they would see each other all the time.
Le Zhi also figured out the disgusting priest's usual tactics, and would come to meet him when he had nothing to do. As long as he walked out of the door of his residence, it was common to run into Yan Qiu anywhere.
She didn't know how this damn Winged Beast City worked! Why didn't she fight for her reputation? It was okay for an accident to happen occasionally. The priests guarding the city wouldn't be so idle and come to bother her every day.
Le Zhi calculated the time today and got up as soon as it was dawn. After she was dressed, she tiptoed out of the room, just wanting to go out and get some fresh air.
She has stayed in this deserted palace for eight days, eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping, but she has not gone out.
If he continues like this, Le Zhi believes that he will become the first orc in history to suffocate to death in his residence!
She transformed into a two-tailed black cat, and her petite figure quietly avoided the servants. Her slender black shadow shuttled between the tall and strong jade pillars, and her soft and elastic paw pads made no sound.
Le Zhi breathed in the air outside comfortably. The cool and clear morning breeze was particularly refreshing, which made her long-suppressed emotions suddenly clear up.
She had nothing to do, so she ran to the garden and nibbled some grass. Her black ears twitched alertly, not wanting to miss any movement.
Yan Qiu, he really didn't mean it this time...
There is a spring in the garden that is used by the high priest. Yan Qiu comes here every morning to bathe and change clothes. Who says that the bird tribe are all clean animals? Even the orcs are no exception.
There was no one beside Yan Qiu. He half-took off his robe and stepped into the water little by little. His long, silky hair was delicate in texture and fit well on his waist and back. Although he did not look strong and powerful, he was comparable to a handsome and elegant young man.
The naked chest floated on the water. The orcs were good at using force and had strong muscles. Even though the priest looked thin, he had a strong physique without his coat.
The man's wisteria-colored eyes were misty. He hadn't seen the lovely little princess for eight days. He knew Le Zhi was very vigilant, but he had never done anything out of line in front of the little princess!
Yan Qiu missed her a little. He felt like he was drugged these days. He couldn't help but get close to the petite orcs when he saw them. He always felt like he was deeply poisoned.
The man wanted to see the little princess's emerald eyes, and then hear a few scolds so that his life wouldn't be so lonely and miserable.
After soaking for a long time, his body felt a little numb. He scooped up a pool of clear water and splashed it on his face. The man's expression finally became a little clearer.
The priest stood up, and the water splashed down, making a series of sounds.
A black shadow moved quickly and fled into the distance.
Le Zhi finally got the chance to escape, and she would never let it go. However, with her low level, it was natural that she would be caught by a city-destroying strongman.
Yan Qiu noticed something strange and closed his eyes strangely. He stretched out his big hand to grab the empty space in the direction where the black shadow was fleeing, and actually caught a pitch-black kitten.
The black cat covered her face with her cute little paws, trying to get away with it, but her two unorthodox tails betrayed her completely.
Only then did Yan Qiu realize that he had caught the little princess. There were no animals without feathers in Winged Beast City. The little thing in his hand was trembling, probably because it was scared.
He was very happy to see Le Zhi early in the morning, but he seemed to have messed up...
The black cat covered his eyes, with his neck being held, and screamed frantically: "Fuck you! Why don't you put on your clothes first! My brother said that I will be responsible if I see a foreign male beast without clothes! Hurry up!"
Yan Qi couldn't help laughing, and the little princess's innocent and adorable look made ripples of emotion in his heart.
The priest carefully put the black cat on the shore, and while putting clothes on it, he said, "Feng Zhi did teach you something useful, but if you didn't see it, how would the little princess know that I wasn't wearing clothes?" She still covered her face, not caring how weird she looked, the black cat rolled and crawled in the opposite direction, trying to escape the damn priest.
Yan Qiu put on his clothes quickly, not giving the black cat any chance to escape. The man squatted down and poked the little princess's furry head with his finger.
He whispered softly to the black cat, "I've seen it all, little princess, you're not responsible?"
Le Zhi was so angry that he didn't even bother to block the cat's claws. He directly cursed at the high priest: "Don't even think about it! I'm not even an adult yet! Are you ashamed, old man? If you bully me again, run away! Big brother will definitely avenge me!"
Yan Qiu was so confused by the little princess' rapid-fire scolding that he was not angry, but his aura became cold.
"Don't run, Lezhi, you don't want to see me take action..."
The black cat saw the priest's strange eyes open instantly, and four captivating purple beads were shining with cold light. She could also smell a strong strange fragrance. Due to her nature, her small body subconsciously stepped back. There was a high wall behind her, and there was no way to retreat.
Le Zhi is not afraid of the priests, but Yan Qiu's eyes and taste are too evil. She defines this unknown danger as an abyss. As long as she doesn't step in, she won't fall miserably.
The smell became stronger and stronger. Le Zhi was still young and couldn't control his behavior well when he was emotionally unstable.
In the blink of an eye, the black cat fluffed up like a young girl with red eyes. She became a stranger in a foreign land without anyone to rely on. Without her brothers to support her, she was not even a hostage and was harassed by the priests here.
She cried out: "Wow, wow, Xiao Si wants to go home and eat jujubes..."
Yan Qiu never thought that the fearless little princess would be frightened by him out of the blue. It was obvious that the little guy in front of him was a hungry cub. Even if the old monster and his family were cruel and ruthless, Le Zhi was still a child after all.
The priest looked at the sobbing little princess with eager eyes. He was really worried because he had never raised a cub himself.
The man looked at the tears in the little princess' eyes with heartache, and it took him a while to react.
Yan Qiu didn't know how to coax people. He just narrowed his eyes, wiped off some of the water color with the tip of his index finger, and coaxed: "My little princess, don't cry, your voice has become hoarse. As long as you are willing to stay and chat with me, you can play with everything in Winged Beast City. I really have no ill will towards you. In four months at most, your brothers will come to take you home..."
When Le Zhi heard the word "go home", his tears seemed to stop.
The girl sniffed her nose hard and said, "Four-eyed Lao Deng, you didn't lie to me, did you?"
Yan Qiu held his forehead and said unhappily, "Of course I'm not lying to you. I'm also a priest of this city and my word is king. Why would I fool you? Also, little princess, please don't give me weird nicknames in private. Forget about Four Eyes. I'm hundreds of years younger than your elder brother Feng Zhi. You and I are equals. Don't be impolite."
Le Zhi slapped the man's hand away and no longer had a sad face.
"You think too much. I call him Big Tail Lao Deng behind his back."
Yan Qiu couldn't help laughing. He didn't expect that Feng Zhi, the tyrannical old monster, would also suffer a defeat.
He stared at the girl's cunning green eyes and smiled from the bottom of his heart.
