304: Chapter 304 Partner

Someone had long since arranged a Stone House to receive the Feng Clan Sacred Female who had come from afar.

The Stone House was covered with expensive beast skin.

Fire basins were placed in the four corners, and as soon as one entered the house, the chill instantly vanished.

A warm, cozy atmosphere washed over her, and Feng Xi squinted her eyes in comfort.

Cang Yan stepped forward and removed the beast skin cloak from her body.

Chi Yu pulled Feng Xi to sit down and immediately instructed the Male nearby.

"Go see if the Young Clan Leader has returned. If he has, tell him to come over immediately."

Once the Male left, Feng Xi immediately clung to Chi Yu, acting coquettishly. "Auntie Yu, can you tell me where Qiu Rong has been these past few years? What happened to him out there? Why is he only coming back now?"

Feng Xi's words caused Chi Yu's expression to change slightly.

This was a thorn in her heart; since returning, Qiu Rong had never told her what had happened to him while he was away.

But she knew something must have happened; he simply didn't want her to worry.

"Auntie Yu, what's wrong? Did I ask the wrong question?"

Chi Yu shook her head with a smile. "It has nothing to do with you, Xi Xi. Your Qiu Rong refuses to say, and I don't know what he experienced out there these past few years either."

A look of heartache appeared in Feng Xi's eyes, and she promised Chi Yu, "Auntie Yu, when I have my Pairing Ceremony with Qiu Rong in the future, I will definitely treat him well. Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt him or make him sad."

Chi Yu nodded with relief. "Good girl, Xi Xi, Auntie Yu believes you."

Among so many Females in the Tribe, she specifically wanted Qiu Rong to have his Pairing Ceremony with Feng Xi because Feng Xi had always liked Qiu Rong and had a pure and kind nature.

Her Male Cub had suffered quite a bit since he was small, and she thought that if he could have his Pairing Ceremony with Feng Xi, and with Feng Xi loving him so much, it would surely make him happy.

The Male whom Chi Yu had sent to find Qiu Rong had just reached the Tribe entrance when he saw Qiu Rong striding into the city.

The Male immediately stepped forward. "Young Clan Leader, the Feng Clan Sacred Female, Feng Xi, has arrived at the Tribe. Holy Female Red Feather wants you to go over immediately."

Qiu Rong, who was in the middle of striding inside, paused his steps. His gaze landed calmly on the messenger Male. "I understand."

His tall, lean frame was wrapped in beast skin, and even just walking steadily gave people a sense of mental oppression.

When Feng Xi walked to the doorway to look out for the third time, she saw Qiu Rong walking over slowly.

Joy suddenly blossomed on her face.

"Qiu Rong!"

Disregarding the muddy street outside, Feng Xi, after shouting, broke free from Cang Yan's hand and ran toward Qiu Rong.

"Qiu Rong."

After running up to Qiu Rong, her clear eyes were filled with admiration as she looked up at him.

Her heartbeat was like a drum, pounding against her chest, making her ears ring, and everything around her seemed to become inaudible.

She liked that aloof and noble Male from her memories.

But she didn't expect that after a few years, Qiu Rong seemed to have changed somewhat, radiating an air of aloofness and indifference.

Yet, this version of him made her even more infatuated.

In almost an instant, she confirmed her own feelings.

She liked Qiu Rong; she wanted him to be her Beast Husband.

While she stared at Qiu Rong, Qiu Rong also lowered his head to look at the Female standing close by.

In his memory, the Feng Clan Sacred Female was still a Cub, but in the blink of an eye, she had actually grown up.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Feng Xi..."

"Qiu Rong, it's me. You still remember me, right?"

"Mn..."

He responded in a low voice.

Feng Xi really wanted to grab his arm and act coquettishly, just as she did with her Father Beast and Beast Husband.

But looking at that cold, aloof face of his, her hand moved, yet she dared not reach out.

"Why did you come to the White Tiger Tribe during the Rainy Season?"

"Because I heard you had returned. I wanted to see you and didn't want to wait until the Warm Season arrived, so I set out early to see you."

Qiu Rong didn't seem to expect this answer, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Just then, Cang Yan had walked up behind Feng Xi, looking at the Male in front of him with an inscrutable expression.

Before coming, he already knew that the person Xi Xi was thinking of was outstanding and was the Young Clan Leader of the White Tiger Tribe.

But Cang Yan was outstanding himself, and he considered himself no worse than any other Male.

Therefore, before seeing Qiu Rong, he hadn't considered him a real rival.

But just from one encounter, the aura released by the other party, along with Feng Xi's gaze, which was stuck on him and couldn't be moved away—

Everything was telling Cang Yan that this Male would threaten his position.

Although Feng Xi dared not reach out to touch Qiu Rong, she still moved a step closer to him. "Qiu Rong, do you remember when I ran off when I was little, and it was you who found me and brought me back?"

This wasn't a big deal, and Qiu Rong's memory of it was somewhat blurry.

"When you found me, I was thinking, if only I could become Qiu Rong's partner when I grew up."

Cang Yan's expression darkened instantly. Without waiting for Qiu Rong to respond, he directly interrupted, "Xi Xi, the rain is getting heavier. Be careful about catching a chill and getting sick. Let's go inside quickly."

Before this, Feng Xi had liked Cang Yan very much, but Cang Yan had suddenly interrupted the important conversation between her and Qiu Rong.

She felt a bit unhappy and pursed her lips. "Alright then, let's go into the house first."

Chi Yu had long since known from the captain of the guard that Qiu Rong had returned to the city.

She hadn't gone out to disturb them.

Not long after, she saw them walking in one after the other.

A satisfied smile appeared on Chi Yu's face. "I told you earlier that Feng Xi would arrive in these few days, and yet you still went running outside the city."

Qiu Rong sat down behind the stone table not far from her. "Recently, the Bay Crocodile have been attacking Tribe members, so I went to the nearby waters to check the situation..."

"Are the Wane Tribe that detestable? Qiu Rong, do you need help? Cang Yan and the others are also Orange Tier Males. If there is anything you need, you can tell them directly, and they will help you."

In the Beast World, the Female is the head of the household. As long as the Female speaks, even if the Male is unwilling, he must obey the Female's instructions.

Before Qiu Rong could answer, Chi Yu, worried that her Male Cub might say something that would make Feng Xi unhappy, immediately spoke up, "Good, your Qiu Rong won't stand on ceremony with you."

Chi Yu treated the Sacred Female from the Feng Clan with the most precious ingredients.

During the meal, Feng Xi talked non-stop, and the more Chi Yu looked at her, the more she liked her.

During this time, she secretly observed her Male Cub and found that he didn't glance at Feng Xi more than once.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart; if his Male Cub didn't like such a beautiful and wonderful Sacred Female as Feng Xi, then what would happen?

Qiu Rong was not young anymore; if he didn't have his Pairing Ceremony soon, the beastmen in the Tribe would talk behind his back.

Moreover, she also hoped that her Male Cub could find happiness soon.

She knew the feeling of being in love, so she hoped that her most beloved Male Cub could also possess it just like she did.

The meal lasted until nightfall, and Feng Xi still refused to leave.

It was only after Chi Yu coaxed her and told her to go rest first that Feng Xi agreed to leave.

When she was about to leave, she kept looking back every few steps.

Once the guests had all left, Chi Yu gently instructed the other beastmen, "You all go down first."

Very quickly, only the Mother and son were left in the Stone House.

"Qiu Rong, Feng Xi is the Pairing Ceremony partner Mother found for you. What do you think of her?"
