Chapter 248
Tang Gourd blinked his eyes.

The little orc looked at Patriarch Maiji who shut up after speaking, and looked at the young man who was a little at a loss——

Standing on tiptoe, he put the young man's hand hanging by his side on his hairy head.

As soon as Tang Hulu lowered his head, he met those dark eyes.

"Touch...touch..."

The little orc's voice was very immature, but there was a bit of firmness in his tone.

Tang Gourd moved his finger, and the little orc's eyes lit up.

His little paws softly grabbed Tang Gourd's fingers, clumsily but gently.

Tang Gourd squatted down and looked at the little orc.

"Touch, touch."

The little orc hugged Tang Gourd's neck without hesitation, and rubbed softly on her shoulder, as if to comfort her.

Tang Gourd was healed instantly.

"My little An is so good."

Holding the little orc in his arms, Tang Gourd felt better.

She looked up at Patriarch Maiji, "I'm sorry, because my matter made the patriarch difficult."

"No, no, that's not what I meant..." Patriarch Maiji waved his hands again and again.

"Well, thank you patriarch."

Tang Gourd picked up the little orc, turned around and walked into the house.

"I'll take care of it."

"..."

Patriarch Maiji looked at her leaving back and opened his mouth.

There are only three days until Pei Xu's coming-of-age day.

During this period, Pei Xu likes to go hunting outside early in the morning, trying to use his own strength to provide enough food for Tang Gourd and the little orcs.

——Although she usually relies on Tang Gourd's medical skills, she does not lack these.

As soon as Tang Hulu came back, she saw the prepared meals on the table, and Pei Xu obediently waiting for her at the table.

Every morning, she would take the little orc out for a walk to familiarize herself with the environment.

Murong An didn't get close to anyone except her, and would blush and shy when talking to others, and even trembled in serious cases.

It may be the experience of being abandoned before, or it may be because of staying alone in the dangerous jungle for so long, Murong An's personality is withdrawn and extremely insecure.

It is harder to raise than Pei Xu when he was a child.

Pei Xu was extremely happy to see her, but when he saw the little orc in her hand, the happy expression on his face cooled down little by little.

It was as if he had been splashed with cold water, and even his face became gloomy.

"..."

The little orc was extremely sensitive, and immediately sensed Pei Xu's malice towards him.

His legs were trembling, and he stood on the spot, unable to walk.

Murong An's face was about to cry, his mouth was biting tightly together, and he didn't dare to look in Pei Xu's direction at all.

"Pei Xu."

The little orc seldom showed any emotion when looking at her head-up, and even when facing her, most of them had a timid expression.

Tang Hulu hugged the little orc easily with both hands, and Murong An hugged her neck tightly with both arms, lowered his head, not wanting to lift it up.

"...I didn't say anything."

Seeing the trembling back of the little orc, Pei Xu snorted angrily.

He reluctantly sat aside under Tang Hulu's gaze, and the little orc didn't tremble so frequently.

"Don't be afraid anymore." Tang Gourd put one arm around the little orc, coaxing softly, "This brother just looks fierce, so he doesn't dare to beat you, let alone scold you."

"……Um."

Murong An obediently followed Tang Hulu's words and raised his head, but there were a few crystal clear teardrops on his long eyelashes.

Tang Hulu's heart melted when he saw it—ah, Xiao An'an is really cute.
