Chapter 1095: 495: Little girl, go home! Obtain a treasure beast!_2
"Yes!" Lanling replied.
Dina originally planned to follow, but Suo Mo stopped her, worried that she might once again be subjected to a body search and taken advantage of.
Lanling and Suo Mo rushed to the Chieftain’s castle at the mountain peak at full speed, only to face further obstacles at the gate.
However, upon seeing Suo Mo drenched in blood, the gatekeeper Samurai felt a tinge of fear. After some minor harassment, they were finally let in.
Suo Mo, covered in blood, entered the castle hall and knelt before Chief Constantine, saying, "I have fulfilled my duty, capturing the Griffin Beast, and present it to you, Chief!"
It was Lanling’s first time seeing a Gryphon Chick. Its body was blanketed in fluffy fur. Its eagle’s beak was still short and tender pink, its lion-like body short and stubby, with a tail that was barely a nub.
The little gryphon lazily opened its big eyes, curiously observing the world around it.
Such is the nature of Griffin Beasts: when young, they are filled with curiosity and goodwill toward the world, approaching unknown creatures with open affection. But as they grow older, they become increasingly fierce, prideful, and difficult to approach.
Constantine displayed an expression of teary-eyed emotions. Suddenly, he rushed forward, grabbed the Gryphon Chick, and threw it towards the ground, roaring, "For such a small creature, you nearly put one of my strongest warriors in harm’s way! If Suo Mo were to suffer any injury, even if I were gifted ten or a hundred of these Griffin Beasts, what use would they be?"
At that moment, Lanling exerted immense effort to hold back his laughter.
First of all, it was clear Chief Constantine had never read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms." The words he had just spoken were thus a coincidence born of happenstance.
But even then, he was far inferior to Mr. Liu.
Mr. Liu had thrown his own son; Constantine tossed a Gryphon Chick.
Additionally, it was laughable that Constantine had personally forced Suo Mo to capture the Griffin Beast in the first place.
But more importantly, Suo Mo was not Zhao Yun.
Back then, Zhao Yun had been moved to tears, catching baby Liu Chan in his arms with reverent loyalty, kneeling in gratitude to pledge his life.
In stark contrast, Suo Mo swiftly caught the Gryphon Chick and simply remarked calmly, "Chief, you exaggerate."
Such a person never understood how to play along with others’ theatrics.
Instantly, Constantine’s heart burned with resentment. Couldn’t you play along even a little? Must you be so infuriatingly stiff?
Then, Suo Mo presented the Gryphon Chick with both hands, leaving Constantine awkwardly hesitant to accept it.
It was Qing She, the second wife, who broke the stalemate. She gracefully stepped forward and took the Gryphon Chick from Suo Mo’s hands.
As she approached, Constantine’s gaze locked onto Lanling. If Lanling dared to lift his eyes and glance at his Forbidden Delicacy, Constantine resolved to eliminate Lanling in the future.
Constantine disliked Suo Mo for his unyielding nature.
He disliked Lanling for his exceptional beauty, which was far too enticing to women.
Fortunately, Lanling’s gaze remained fixed on the ground, never sparing Qing She a single glance.
And Qing She, likewise, did not look at him.
Even though the two had been intimate twice, and Lanling had explored every inch of Qing She’s body more than once.
But if Constantine were to detect anything suspicious now, Lanling’s fate would undoubtedly be sealed in blood.
Suo Mo said, "We’ll be taking that little girl with us."
Qing She’s expression instantly softened with a hint of reluctance. "You’re busy every day with training, hunting, and battles. You don’t eat well either. Yaya should stay with me; she’s still young and needs proper nutrition."
"No need," Suo Mo replied. "Though our Foreign Tribe Army is poor, we manage to squeeze out all the best resources for her. Little Ling, go fetch the girl."
"Yes," Lanling replied, bowing respectfully to Constantine before heading toward the inner hall.
On a small bed, the little girl was fast asleep.
She had indeed gained some weight these past few days.
But her round, fair body was dressed in only a pair of small white shorts, which filled Lanling with discomfort.
Though the weather here was hot, Yaya was, after all, a young girl. How could she be dressed like this?
Anger surged within him toward Qing She. To make her seem ’cute,’ would she disregard the girl’s dignity?
He picked up the little girl and noticed tear streaks at the corners of her eyes. She had clearly been crying.
Yaya woke up and laid her eyes on Lanling.
A three-year-old girl’s memory is fleeting; events and people of a few days ago become foggy pasts.
Lanling hadn’t seen her in ten days, and he truly feared the little girl had forgotten him.
But as she opened her sleepy eyes, she immediately stretched her tiny arms around Lanling’s neck and joyfully shouted, "Papa, Baba!"
"You little heartless thing," Qing She whispered softly.
"Let’s go home," Lanling responded with a gentle smile.
The little girl snuggled into Lanling’s arms, breathing in the familiar energy around him. She felt incredibly comfortable and secure, and soon drifted back to sweet slumber.
Her reliance on Lanling wasn’t due to the rescue from wolves; rather, it was the unique energy emitting from him that instinctively bonded her to him. Thus, upon seeing him for the first time, she had fluttered her wings and thrown herself into his arms.
The past ten days had been unkind to her.
At Goru’s, there’s no need to elaborate—she faced his malicious stares day by day.
At Qing She’s, she had food and clothes, but every night she woke in fright, crying every two hours.
Now, back in Lanling’s arms, enveloped by that familiar energy, she finally felt true security.
