"General congratulations, you're fine!" The man's voice was gentle but stern.
Jiang Ling looked up suddenly and saw a handsome man in white. His familiar face made her want to cry.
"Go ahead! Save me!" Jiang Ling shouted.
Xiao Chen's narrow eyes narrowed, looking at He Yan with a hint of coldness.
Jiang Ling felt a white shadow flash before his eyes, and when he came to his senses, he was already in Xiao Chen's arms.
He Yan put away his fangs and looked back and forth at Xiao Chen and Jiang Ling with his deep eyes, as if thinking about something.
"Do you know each other?"
Xiao Chen patted Jiang Ling, who was still frightened, and comforted him in a gentle voice: "A Ling, it's okay."
Jiang Ling nodded, her face softened a little, her hands and feet were trembling, and bloody scenes appeared in her mind involuntarily. It was as if her whole body had been drained of energy, and she could hardly stand. Fortunately, Xiao Chen was leaning on him, otherwise, he would have collapsed to the ground long ago.
After being in this world for so long, this was the first time she felt that death was so close to her. She originally thought that she was a person from the future world, with better knowledge and ability than them, and an inexplicable sense of superiority. But now facing the powerful orcs, she was powerless and was slaughtered like an ant. All her self-righteousness was reduced to nothing. for a joke.
Jiang Ling was cautious enough and not arrogant, but she was still at a loss in the face of absolute power.
But she was unwilling to let her depend on a man.
Xiao Chen frowned and looked down at Jiang Ling. He saw her biting her lower lip, her whole body trembling, and the corners of her bright red lips were almost bitten by her. An inexplicable feeling of distress made him subconsciously hug her tightly. The other party said with relief: "It's okay, Aling, I'm here."
The tall and straight orc held the petite and thin boy in his arms. The intimate and warm scene made He Yan feel particularly dazzling for no reason.
He didn't expect that Xiao Xiang, who had a gentle and elegant face but was extremely cruel and ruthless in his methods, could have such a soft side. It was really eye-opening.
Xiao Chen had long noticed He Yan's strange gaze, and there was a smile on his lips, but there was no trace of smile in his eyes, instead, he felt oppressive.
"I didn't expect that General He, who has always been upright, would actually treat a defenseless disabled orc. It really opened Xiao's eyes!"
"Disabled orc?" He Yan frowned, a little surprised, but it was normal.
"General He, after all you are a battle-hardened man, why don't you understand this? Although Aling is a disabled orc, according to the laws of the orc dynasty, orcs are not allowed to harm disabled orcs without reason, otherwise..." Xiao Chen There was a hint of coldness in the corner of his mouth, "General He, do you want to know the law and break it?"
He Yan's face instantly darkened, his eyes sharp, "Mr. Xiao, how can you talk nonsense if you don't know the truth?"
"Nonsense? Even if the general's horse went crazy, the general could only make up for it by saving Alingna. Besides, what I just saw was not an understatement like what the general said." Xiao Chen's words were sharp.
The eyes between the two were dazzling, tit for tat, tense.
Jiang Ling sensed something was wrong in the atmosphere and whispered, "Okay, let's go back, okay?" Such an atmosphere made her feel awkward.
Xiao Chen raised the corner of his mouth and said warmly: "Okay." Then he looked at He Yan, his handsome features had a sharper look, "General He, Aling is my adopted brother, please be more polite next time."
Before He Yan could react, Xiao Chen took Jiang Ling and left, leaving He Yan with a gloomy expression.
Xiao Chen took Jiang Ling to a nearby teahouse.
"But it's better?"
Jiang Ling took the herbal tea from Xiao Chen and forced a smile, "Well, it's better. If it weren't for your promptness, my life would have been handed down there. I originally brought a little food to you. If you send it, you will encounter a crazy horse, and even the food will be smashed to pieces."
"Are you here specifically to bring me food?" Xiao Chen was in a very happy mood and could not hide the joy on his face.
"Half and half. First we do business with shopkeeper Qian, buy dried fruits, and then give you something. Although things are in order, sincerity is in no particular order." Jiang Ling drank tea and gradually calmed down while talking to Xiao Chen. , the tone was much lighter.
"That's it. But it doesn't matter, it will be the same next time. It's a pity that so many delicious things are lost." Xiao Chen had a look of regret, but his eyes were smiling.
"Yeah. I got fifty taels this time." Jiang Ling frowned. This fifty taels is not a small sum. There are no money banks in the town. If you keep it at home, you are afraid that someone will miss it. After all, There are only old and weak people in the family.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Chen saw the other party frowning and sounded concerned.
"Can I deposit some money with you first?" Jiang Ling thought carefully. It was not safe to put it anywhere. It would be safest to put it with Xiao Chen. Firstly, the other party doesn't like that little money, and secondly, the other party has a noble status. Who dares to think about it?
It also gives yourself a way out.
Xiao Chen looked surprised, "Aren't you afraid that I will steal your money?" Being trusted by the young man so much, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction in his heart. This was the first time in my life that I met someone who I had only met a few times and was willing to trust him with my whole life. No one believed it!
Although this is only a few dozen taels, to the young man, doesn't it mean her entire net worth?
Jiang Ling chuckled lightly, her brows and eyes were clear, as magnificent as flowers in bloom, which made people fascinated.
"You have a noble status and generous spending. Even a hair on your body is thicker than my waist. Why would you care about this little money? If I scan the crack of your door, I might be able to get a few banknotes." I'm afraid you won't like it."
The voice was gentle, with the crispness and shyness of a young man.
Xiao Chen's eyes were raised at the end, giving people a sense of aggression for no reason, but Jiang Ling lowered his head at this time and did not notice anything strange.
"That's not true. On the contrary, I'm flattered." Xiao Chen stood up and stretched out his hand to straighten Jiang Ling's long hair.
The fingers are in the beautiful black hair, silky and smooth, and there is a light fragrance on the tip of the nose, which is intoxicating.
Jiang Ling was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw the other party taking out a blue hair tie from his sleeve and pulling up her hair into a bun.
She hadn't paid much attention to it just now, but now she realized that her hair was disheveled, which was a bit embarrassing. No wonder she always felt that something was wrong.
"Ah Ling's hair is of really good quality, smoother than fine silk. Even females have never had such good hair." Xiao Chen sighed and praised her repeatedly.
"Hehe, you can't be born jealous." The soap used here is saponin. Most orcs don't like to clean, which makes Jiang Ling a little unacceptable. However, the breath on Xiao Chen's body smells good. After staying together for a long time, if there is physical contact, the body will be infected with the other person's breath unconsciously.
The aura was not obvious, but Jiang Ling could sense it.
