Chapter 64 Please Take Me In
After watching the Thunder Clan members leave one after another, Le Shan looked at Le Yun with his eyes and asked what had just happened. Le Yun smiled and shook his head, "I'll tell you when I get back tonight."
"Le Yun, inform the clansmen about Lei Xiu's plans to stay permanently and the matter of keeping the legend a secret. Remember to tell the clansmen not to let anything slip."
"Yes, Clan Chief." Le Yun replied softly, "Clan Chief, are you insisting on not letting Le Zhi know about this legend in order to make Lei Xiu back down?"
"Tch..." Rolling her eyes, Le Chu replied irritably, "Look at him, he doesn't seem to back down at all. But I really don't want him to use the name of legend to easily deceive Le Zhi."
Le Chu sat down gracefully, resting her chin on her hand. Thinking back to when she first saw Le Zhi in the forest, his expression of panic and uncertainty, Le Chu frowned slightly. "Le Zhi is different from other cubs. He was destined to bear too much suffering from birth. Now he has a destined partner. It's too unfair to him."
“Our cubs should choose whether or not to form a mate based on their own true feelings, rather than conforming to a vague legend.” Le Chu’s eyes flickered, and her tone became more resolute. “Even if this is the Mother Tree’s arrangement, I insist that the souls of our tree spirit clan will forever be free.”
……
"Lei Xiu, we'll be leaving now. The clan can't be left alone. Be careful in the Spirit Feather Clan." Looking at Lei Xiu, whose appearance had basically returned to normal, Rein couldn't help but sigh. Before coming, they never expected things to go so smoothly.
When I return this time, the other patients in the clan suffering from the Shadow Disease will surely be very happy to hear this news.
"Yes, thank you for your trouble. Please take care on your journey."
As the person involved, Lei Xiu's emotions seemed to remain indifferent throughout. Except for a slight expression when arguing with Le Chu, he always maintained the same demeanor, making it impossible to discern his true thoughts.
Nodding, Renn confidently led his excited tribesmen away. The moment their enormous wings unfolded, they seemed to blot out the sky. The wings, adorned with black and purple patterns, fluttered twice, and for a fleeting moment, it appeared as if purple lightning flowed between the wing bones before quickly disappearing.
This scene was witnessed by the Spirit Feather Clan members in the distance. The distinctive wings immediately alerted some of them, indicating that someone from the Thunder Clan had arrived.
Their meeting lasted almost all night, and now it was the time for the tribesmen to get up and move around in the early morning. With Le Yun's arrangement, the news that a member of the Thunder Tribe would be staying in the tribe after the Lingyu Tribe's breakfast time had already spread throughout the entire tribe.
Having learned the news from his clansmen, Leyou excitedly set off for Lezhi's house, thinking he'd have something to talk about this morning. From afar, Leyou saw a tall figure standing in front of Lezhi's courtyard. Having some recollection of everyone in the clan, Leyou hesitated and stopped; this person looked completely unfamiliar.
And why would he be standing in front of Lezhi Gate? That's too strange.
Approaching with suspicion, Leyou finally saw the person's appearance and hair color clearly. Having some knowledge of different races, Leyou immediately realized, "Hey, you're from the Thunder Clan? What are you doing here? Do you need something from Lezhi?"
When bombarded with Le You's rapid-fire questions, Lei Xiu merely blinked and glanced at him sideways without answering.
He pursed his lips, and seeing that Lei Xiu ignored him, Le You stopped trying to get closer. He turned and went straight into Le Zhi's courtyard, calling out, "Le Zhi, wake up! We should get going..."
Lezhi, who had been working almost until dawn last night, felt like she had just closed her eyes when Leyou's voice reached her ears. The equally sleepy little cat nuzzled against Lezhi's neck, burying its head even deeper, pretending it hadn't heard her.
On the contrary, Rakuchi's strong sense of time prompted him to open his sticky eyelids, rub his eyes, and then touch the wall, signaling to Fujiki to "open a window" for him.
As the morning sunlight streamed into the room, Lezhi had already sat up with great determination. The tree spirits were in much better physical condition than he had before. Although he had stayed up all night yesterday, he felt no discomfort this morning except for being a little tired.
The door was already open. As usual, Leyou would go inside to wait. Lezhi, however, quickly finished her morning wash and then held the sleeping Maoqiu in her arms before stepping into the living room.
"Lezhi, why are you sleeping so late today? This isn't like you." Leyou looked at Lezhi, who looked like she hadn't slept enough, and noticed something was off.
"Ah ha~, um, I stayed up all night making jerky last night."
To show that he wasn't lying, Lezhi took out two packets of dried meat packaged in leaf-shaped containers and handed them to Leyou. "Here, try one. One isn't spicy. See how it tastes."
"Wow~" Leyou took the food from Lezhi with both hands, but didn't open it to eat immediately. Her eyes darted around. "Hey Lezhi, do you know that there are outsiders in our tribe who want to stay here permanently?"
"Yeah, I know!" Unaware that Leyou was actually sharing gossip with her, Lezhi assumed that Leixiu had already been settled in by the clan yesterday, so she answered naturally.
"Huh?" Leyou's eyes widened in confusion as she asked, "I only found out this morning. How come you got the news faster than me this time?"
Finally realizing the flaw in his words, Lezhi looked back at Leyou with innocent eyes, unsure of what to say. It seemed the news of the Thunder Clan coming to him yesterday to treat his Shadow Disease hadn't spread yet. If he told Leyou about it now, wouldn't that be considered leaking patient information? That didn't seem quite right.
After a mental struggle, Lezhi finally decided to play dead.
"Never mind, that's not the point." Seeing Lezhi's expression, Leyou knew he didn't want to say more, so he simply skipped the topic. "The point is, that Thunder Clan member is waiting outside your house. It seems like he's here to see you. That's strange. You just returned to your clan and haven't had a chance to provoke outsiders. What would he want with a cub like you?"
"Huh? What? You said he's at the door?" Lezhi only heard Leyou say that Lei Xiu was at the door, and didn't hear anything else.
Holding the sleeping furball in her arms, Lezhi hurried out the door and, sure enough, saw Lei Xiu waiting there for a long time. Running forward, a secret joy welled up inside Lezhi; she hadn't expected to see Lei Xiu again so soon. "Lei Xiu, what are you doing here? Why didn't you call me when you came?"
Seeing Lezhi running towards him, the frost in Lei Xiu's eyes quickly melted into a pool of water, and a pleasant smile immediately appeared between his brows. "I don't want to disturb your rest, so I'll wait here. It's alright, it'll only be for a little while."
"Oh." Lezhi didn't know what he was happy about, but he was just very happy. He unconsciously smiled and looked up at Lei Xiu.
After the Shadow Disease was completely eradicated, Lei Xiu regained his original appearance. Compared to the Lingyu Clan, Lei Xiu's features were more deep-set, and his lines appeared particularly sharp when he wasn't smiling. However, when facing Le Zhi, Lei Xiu unconsciously softened his expression, and his deep-set features were given a different kind of color, presenting a breathtaking beauty.
"So, what brings you here?" After staring intently at Lei Xiu's face for a while, Le Zhi finally remembered the important matter.
