Chapter 436 He Can Protect You
"Alright everyone, although the High Priest is no longer involved, the things that need to be prepared for Beast City cannot be overlooked. What we old guys can do now is to prepare the supplies for them and keep an eye on the city!" Hu Kuo tapped his cane on the spot and said seriously.
Hearing him say that, Tu Lin and Hu Xia also became serious. "Don't worry, we definitely won't hold you back."
After exchanging a few more words, the group dispersed to go about their own business.
Two days later, Yang Ye handed the final list and the ledger of supplies to Lin Baiyan. "This is the final list. Can you see if anything is missing?"
Lin Baiyan smiled slightly, reached out and took the notebook from his hand, and was about to get out of bed when Yang Ye stopped him, "You can read it in bed."
Lin Baiyan said helplessly, "I'm fine now." They were all as nervous as could be.
Yang Ye glared at him, annoyed. "How dare you say such a thing!"
"I don't know who it was, but Lu Xiao developed a high fever the night after giving birth, and it only broke today. If you hadn't insisted on going on the expedition, the elders would have kept you in bed for a month!" Yang Ye pointed at him from a distance.
Lin Baiyan felt a little guilty. He hadn't expected this outcome. The loss of the Beast God's essence blood was like draining his vital energy, even more serious than when he had his blood drawn before!
Perhaps it's because the amount of blood drawn this time was too large, and the previous method of drawing small amounts more frequently was more effective in getting the body to accept it.
"Look at your complexion! Even Lu Xiao, who just gave birth, looks better than you!" Yang Ye sighed heavily. With the city lord gone, there was no one in Ten Thousand Beasts City who could control Lin Baiyan.
Lin Baiyan had no idea what he was thinking; she simply flipped through the booklet in her hand.
"By the way, how is Lu Xiao? Is he alright?" Lin Baiyan suddenly looked up and changed the subject.
Yang Ye seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "He's fine, perfectly fine!"
Lin Baiyan: "?" Then what are you laughing at?
Yang Ye seemed to understand his question and explained, "Didn't you tell him to rest in bed for a few days?"
Lin Baiyan nodded in confusion. That's right, that's what he said. Lu Xiao went through such a dangerous childbirth. Although there is no such thing as postpartum confinement on the Beastman Continent, she should still rest in bed for ten days or half a month.
“Xiong Fei takes your words as gospel. He ordered Lu Xiao to get out of bed. You know he’s a restless person. How could he possibly stand lying here? He even wants to go to war with the army!”
Yang Ye said with a smile, "It's a pity that he ran into Xiong Fei. This big, clumsy guy looks big, but he's like a little lamb when he meets Lu Xiao. As soon as Lu Xiao gets out of bed, Xiong Fei looks at him with teary eyes."
Lin Baiyan shook his head. "What a joke, how can he go to war in this state?"
"Don't worry, with Xiong Fei around, he won't be able to get out."
In fact, the real situation was much funnier than Yang Ye described. A burly man over 1.9 meters tall was obediently nestled by his bedside, looking up at him with tearful, aggrieved eyes. Lu Xiao was almost driven crazy by him.
"This pair of clowns are constantly outwitting each other, and on top of that, they also have to look after the cubs. Anyway, Lu Xiao probably can't think of anything else right now."
Hearing this, Lin Baiyan's expression softened.
Yang Ye chatted on and on about what was happening outside, while Lin Baiyan responded with casual conversation, and the contents of the booklet gradually decreased.
"Cough, cough cough." The orc on the bed suddenly coughed continuously. He leaned forward slightly, as if he couldn't hold it in any longer, and the cough became more and more intense.
With each movement, Yang Ye could clearly see Lin Baiyan's thin, prominent shoulder blades.
He quickly picked up the cup beside him and held it to Lin Baiyan's lips, gently patting his back with one hand, "What's wrong?"
Lin Baiyan waved his hand weakly. After feeling a little better, he reached out and took the cup from Yang Ye's hand, took a sip of water, and said, "I'm fine, I just still have a slight fever."
"How about we postpone our departure by two days?" Yang Ye looked at Lin Baiyan with some concern. "How are you going to travel in this condition?"
Lin Baiyan shook his head. "I'm fine. I can hold on a little longer."
Yang Ye frowned deeply, wanting to persuade her further, "But..."
"No buts! Lang Cang is still waiting for me, I have to go see him." Lin Baiyan looked up, her eyes filled with unwavering determination.
Seeing his appearance, Yang Ye immediately deflated. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, no one can control you. Let the city lord worry about it himself!"
Seeing his helpless expression, Lin Baiyan couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips and jokingly said, "What, do you think he can control me?"
“At least he can protect you,” Yang Ye blurted out.
Hearing him say those words, Lin Baiyan was momentarily stunned.
Yang Ye looked at him seriously, "High Priest, we all know that you have been protecting us for the past two years. If it weren't for you and the city lord, we would probably have died on the road to escape the famine long ago."
"You taught us survival skills so that we could live; you taught us to farm and build houses so that we had a place to live; and you also taught us to read so that we could have faith."
Yang Ye's eyes were filled with adoration. "High Priest, you are the soul of the City of Beasts."
Lin Baiyan tilted her head slightly, looking a little awkward, and muttered softly, "It's not as good as you say."
Yangye looked at him stubbornly, "You are our faith." You are another god in the hearts of the beastmen, an existence that can rival the Beast God.
Looking into his eyes, which were filled with gratitude and admiration, Lin Baiyan moved his right wrist slightly. It seemed that another invisible beam of light fell into his wrist. Not only that, he felt that his body was more comfortable.
After saying so much, Yang Ye seemed a little embarrassed, and he changed the subject as if to cover it up, "Not only you, but the city lord is our leader."
"A leader and faith are inseparable. High Priest, the city lord is your natural protector. With him here, the faith of our Beast City can be well protected."
“Only with him by your side can you have the energy to lead the City of Beasts to a brighter future,” Yang Ye said earnestly.
Lin Baiyan listened to his words in a daze. Leader and faith?
These two words are quite fitting to describe him and Lang Cang.
Inseparable...
Lin Baiyan seemed to have thought of something, and a blush crept onto her originally pale cheeks, making her look extremely beautiful.
"High Priest, High Priest?" Yang Ye looked at Lin Baiyan's dazed expression and waved his hand in front of him with some concern. "Are you still feeling unwell?"
Lin Baiyan suddenly came to her senses, "No, I'm fine."
"Yang Ye, you're doing quite well in your ancient culture class." Lin Baiyan smiled slightly.
Yang Ye was stunned for a moment, then belatedly realized what nonsense she had just uttered.
Ugh, so embarrassing! How could I have blurted out the truth?!
