Chapter 9

Before Su Ce could respond, he found himself suspended in mid-air. When he was about to react, he also didn’t know what words to use to express his current feeling.

Being held by a man... Su Ce was eerily stiff.

No one has ever dared to do this to him. Especially after being forced to nest in a man’s arms and finding that those arms could easily wrapped him effortlessly, Su Ce felt his male self-esteem had been hit hard.

In the Senior’s company, because of his strict requirements, many employees did not even dare look him straight in the eye. But this guy did such an action in public!

It just happened that Su Ce was really not convenient to act now...

Should he be angry...or should he thank him? Su Ce sighed.

Forget it, after having been in contact with this Tan Tu for many days, he should have seen that this is a guy who moves faster than his brain.

Tan Tu didn’t know that his sweetheart was thinking the various off-line behaviors had made him angry. But it was the first time Tan Tu was full of desire to make up for him.

Fortunately, Tan Tu was quite fast.

When Su Ce just made his decision, they already came to their destination, where the Patriarch lived.

There is a very large tent. He don’t know what kind of animal’s fur is used to build it. It gives people a thick and rustic feeling, just like how hard you hit its outer skin without causing any damage...

Even if Su Ce can’t see clearly, he can smell the danger brought by this tent... It’s like a beast crouching here, as if it was not a tent, but a living object. Making him unable to help but be deeply shocked.

Tan Tu put Su Ce down. Seeing Su Ce still in daze, he couldn’t help holding his hand and reminded, “Ah Ce, let’s go in and see the Patriarch.”

Su Ce looked back and nodded, “...oh.”

He forgot all the shameful things behind him.

The inside was very large. After Su Ce lifted the curtain, he heard the sound of flames crackling. The tent was so warm that even Su Ce, who was only surrounded by a bath towel, felt a little warm.

Then he heard a loud voice, “Tan Tu? Why is my young fellow here?”

A sound of footsteps was approaching at him. A strong smell suddenly rushed with a strong force and stopped when he was about to reach his front.

The loud voice became a little confused, “Tan Tu, this female is...”

Tan Tu replied, “Patriarch, his name is Su Ce. He’s a child of ‘vagrants’ and has lost his parents. I met him on the way and agreed to join our tribe.”

The Patriarch laughed and said, “This is a good thing! Any Orc is welcome to join our tribe!” After that, he joked, “Especially the female on the apex of a male's heart.”

Su Ce’s heart was stormy.

The meaning of these two words... Does this ‘female’ refer to him?

And Orcs.

Tan Tu can have both lion and human forms, isn’t it Orc? Also known as ‘male’, as opposed to ‘female’...

He had to say that these three terms gave him a subtle sense of uncertainty.

Su Ce’s expression was always a bit serious with less emotions.

Thanks to the habit of many years, he did not lose his mind now, but was silently calculating in his heart.

He was still thinking about something when suddenly, he felt a warm body coming in front of him. The strange breath made him step back unconsciously.

The male Orc he was familiar with said, “Patriarch, let me come.”

Come on...what come? Su Ce had just pondered and he seemed to have missed a dialogue.

Here’s what happened—

Just as Su Ce was in daze, Tan Tu and Sa Ta, the Patriarch, had already exchange words.

Sa Ta is slightly shorter male than Tan Tu but equally strong. He has thick red hair and his beast is a huge red tiger.

As a strong male who has been on the Patriarch seat for three hundred years, he actually has a very savvy mind to defend his people.

When Tan Tu entered the tent, Sa Ta already saw the female he was holding.

This female has fairer skin than ordinary females, but it also looks weaker than ordinary females...though from his expression, he’s a very strong person.

Also he was not careless, but he can see at a glance that there is something wrong with the female’s eyes—there is no magic color, the eyes are hazy... This can’t be fortified but it also contains a bit of alert posture and quite capable of arousing male’s desire for protection.

However, for Sa Ta, who has been deeply attached to her female for more than 200 years, he thinks Tan Tu has a good eye.

Of course, before that, he had to do a little help to his fellow Tan Tu.

After all, he did not live up to Sa Ta’s expectations. After expressing the fact that the female would stay in the tribe, he raised his desire to go to the “Forbidden Grounds” to pick “bai mu cao” (hundred wooden grass)

Sa Ta smiled and said, “There are usually no more than a dozen males in the Forbidden Grounds that could enter, even if you’re the strongest in the tribe.”

Tan Tu suddenly remembered this, a little disappointed, but the tribal rules are like this, he could only obey...so he immediately turned around and said, “Patriarch, help me take care of Ah Ce. I’ll go find someone to help!”

Sa Ta quickly grabbed his collar from behind and shouted, “Tan Tu, why are you so impatient!”

Tan Tu struggled a few steps forward, “No hurry. I just can’t let Ah Ce live like this!”

He knew that males are eager to please females didn’t make sense, even Tan Tu was no exception...

Sa Ta sighed heavily, “I have it here.” He could only quickly come to a conclusion.

The next moment, he just felt that Tan Tu rushed to his face, anxious, “Patriarch! Is it true? Give it to me!”

Sa Ta shook his head, walked to the side of the wooden frame and groped in a leather bag for a while. Then found a long stem with a small plug blocking the exit. The appearance looked green and pretty.

Tan Tu looked at Sa Ta. He heard Sa Ta say, “This is made by Ka Mai, rest assured it’s much better than directly using hundred wooden grass.” After that, he went to Su Ce but saw Su Ce took a step back.

Hearing this, Tan Tu was of course very happy and watched Sa Ta go to give Su Ce treatment. But Su Ce’s preparedness against Sa Ta made him even more exhilarated, but when he approached Su Ce, he didn’t evade at all.

So he took the small tube from Sa Ta’s hand and said, “Patriarch, let me do it.”

—That was what happened when Su Ce was in a daze.

Su Ce looked up at Tan Tu. He could vaguely see this guy smiling and seemed happy. Su Ce was a little confused. Then he heard Tan Tu said something again, “Ah Ce, this is the secret medicine in our tribe that can cure your eyes.”

Su Ce was silent.

Tan Tu continued eagerly, “Don’t worry Ah Ce, this medicine has been passed down from our tribe for tens of thousands of years. Many people have already tried it and it’s absolutely effective!”

Tens of thousands of years...

When he heard this sentence, Su Ce’s heart became more wavy.

Earth people have only been for thousand of years since the beginning of civilization.

At that time, it was impossible for anyone to establish such a large experimental base. Unless the Gods at that time really exist, or this is a base left by the prehistoric civilization. There is also a possibility that he’s least willing to admit...

Perhaps this really isn’t on Earth at all.

Either way, he must settle down before he can think slowly—looking for more information that can make inferences.

At present, the Orc opposite told him that there is a medicine that could cure his high myopia? If it’s true, then it’ll undoubtedly make him a lot more convenient.

So Su Ce nodded calmly, “Okay.” But think again and said, “Thank you.”

Tan Tu was pleased to let Su Ce raised his head and opened his eyes. He was so anxious that his hands and feet were flustered.

When Sa Ta saw such a sight beside him, he felt that the female’s character was too cold...

Maybe Tan Tu’s road will go a long way.

Su Ce chose to believe that this medicine was only one in ten thousand possible to improve his eyesight— at least, it’s not worse than the situation in which nothing is clear.

He raised his face obediently and opened his eyes as wide as possible.

After that, he felt two cool liquids entering his eyes respectively, a comfortable massage-like feeling wandering around his eyes... followed by a slight tingling and faster relief.

Su Ce secreted tears uncontrollably. He blinked and after his tears fell, his vision became clearer.
