Chapter 160 Deterioration of Relationship 1
After getting the seeds back, E Ling saw that it was still early, so she felt like playing. She found some wooden boards and built a fence in front of the house. She then cleared a few ridges of land in the open space and planted some vegetable seeds.
Now is the warm season, which is a good time for sowing. Changze said that these seeds grow fast and can be harvested by the hot season. She will plant one crop first, and then plant another crop of vegetables in the hot season that can be harvested before the cold season. In this way, she will have vegetables to eat all year round.
Fortunately, with the help of a few friends, she finished the work in one afternoon and was able to make it to the Central Square in time to attend the bonfire party to celebrate the start of the Blessing Festival.
In a beast city as large as the one in the north, with abundant resources, the bonfire party would be grand and lively. Since she had nothing to do in the evening, she might as well join in the fun.
Before it got completely dark, the central square was already completely lit up by the burning bonfire. The orcs gathered spontaneously in front of the fire, chatting enthusiastically or dancing to celebrate. Some males who came with the purpose of courtship had even begun to keep an eye out for outstanding females in advance so that they could directly court each other during tomorrow's pairing ceremony.
E Ling came to the central square under the escort of Mo Lin, Xuan Ming, Yin Chen and Xiao Guai. As soon as she appeared, she attracted the attention of many males, and even some females looked at her with admiration and envy. Such a beautiful female with strong fertility will definitely be able to harvest many high-level partners in the pairing ceremony.
Seeing E Ling coming over, the orc in charge of organizing the bonfire party brought fresh and tender meat and vegetables, and said to E Ling politely: "Beautiful female, these are all prepared for you by Elder Changze. I hope you can have fun at the party."
E Ling gladly accepted it. The female with sharp ears heard their conversation and made a sound of annoyance and frustration:
"I was originally planning to propose to Elder Changze during the pairing ceremony, but I didn't expect that he was already taken! And the girl is such an outstanding female, so I definitely have no chance!"
"Forget it... A male like Elder Changze is not something that ordinary females like us can subdue, and we don't have the ability to fight against Her Highness the Saint. I think only that beautiful female fox can compete with Her Highness the Saint for Elder Changze, right? I don't know which of the two of them will get Elder Changze."
"It's obvious that Elder Changze has made his choice. But have you seen Her Highness the Saint recently? She seems to have not appeared for a long time. She used to go to see Elder Changze every day. Why haven't we seen her recently? Did she give up on her own initiative?"
Some of the females were soon attracted by other gossip and discussed in low voices.
Orcs have always had sensitive hearing, and E'ling was not far from them, so she heard all the conversations clearly. Not only did she remember that day when Xuehuan angrily said that she was going to find Chilang to argue, and then left, and never came to see Changze again, but E'ling also never met Xuehuan again, and didn't know whether she had dealt with the matter with Chilang.
Although E Ling felt a little sympathetic towards Xue Huan for having mistakenly identified the male who was truly interested in her for so many years, what she cared most about was that Xue Huan could handle her own feelings, face reality, and preferably stop clinging to Chang Ze.
After all, E Ling didn't want the relationship between her and Chang Ze to be complicated by a rival who still had feelings for Chang Ze. If that happened, both she and Chang Ze would have a hard time.
What people think often comes true.
Just as E Ling was talking about this, she heard Xue Huan's voice.
E Ling looked in the direction where the voice came from and found Xue Huan and Chi Lang standing by the campfire by the river. The former was accusing the latter of something in an excited tone, while the latter stood there silently. Although he didn't say anything, his fox ears and tail had drooped sadly, as if he was sad and regretful, but he would accept being beaten and scolded without fighting back.
Chi Lang was holding a bunch of mercury flowers in his hand, a symbol of courtship. The light pink flower balls were very beautiful, but at this moment, the flowers were drooping their heads like their owners, as if they were as sad as their owners because of being rejected.
"Chilang, what do you mean by this? Are you planning to propose to me at the couple-making ceremony tomorrow?"
Xuehuan's eyes were filled with nameless anger. Seeing Chilang like this, she was so furious that she couldn't help but mock and ridicule him. Otherwise, how could she wash away the humiliation she had suffered during this period of time?
If Chi Lang hadn't been hiding his feelings for her and didn't dare to express them directly, she wouldn't have misunderstood that Changze was interested in her, causing her to almost fight with a female for Changze. In the end, it took her a long time to figure out that she had recognized the wrong person and loved the wrong person for so many years. She was really embarrassed in front of the Beast God! !
She was still angry with Chi Lang, so naturally she didn't have a good face towards him!
"Xuehuan, I have thought it through. I will not avoid my feelings for you anymore. Can you give me a chance to make up for my previous mistakes?"
Chi Lang's eyes were determined. He mustered up the courage to hand the beautiful Mercury Flower in his hand to Xue Hua, then knelt on one knee, "Your Highness, please allow me to propose to you at the couple ceremony tomorrow. I hope to protect you for the rest of my life."
His tone was serious, and his deep eyes were filled with strong yet restrained love. Although his action of handing over the flowers was firm, his inner nervousness could still be seen from his slightly trembling hands.
Chi Lang is the captain of the outer city patrol team, and he has a high status in the city. His subordinates saw that the captain, who was always quiet, steady and resolute, suddenly mustered up the courage to propose to a female, and proposed to a saint female who was one of the most powerful females. They were worried that Chi Lang would be rejected, and they all spoke well of Chi Lang:
"Your Highness, please agree to the captain's request. He usually knows how to take care of us brothers, so he must know how to take good care of a female!"
"Yes, Captain, you just don't know how to express yourself sometimes, but actions are definitely a thousand times louder than words. After you two become a couple, I will definitely not let you suffer any grievances."
"Promise him, promise him..."
Xuehuan was completely unaffected by the noises of the people around her. She snatched the flowers from Chilang's hand. When Chilang's eyes showed joy that he mistakenly thought that she was about to accept his courtship, Xuehuan tore all the beautiful flowers into pieces and threw them in Chilang's face.
Chi Lang's smile froze instantly.
"Do you think that your few words can make up for the time and energy I have lost over the years and the face I have lost because of you?! Chi Lang, I am the only saint in the Northern Beast City after all, not a cheap thing! Don't think that I will forgive you just because you have a few flowers and can say a few fancy words!"
"Do you think I will be touched by your words after you finally come to your senses? Don't try to move yourself! I'm telling you, it's too late for you to woo this saint and win her favor!!! Even if I were to find a random male partner right now, I wouldn't choose you!"
Xuehuan spoke angrily. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the angrier she became, the more hurtful her words became.
