In the corridor near the underground city and the Khajiit residential area, Bai Feng and his group of Khajiits were on their way back.
"Your Highness, you are back."
The two tiger guards guarding the passage saluted Bai Feng very respectfully.
"Well, Zhan Ya, you two should go back first."
Now that he has reached his own territory, Bai Feng's tense nerves around humans suddenly relax a lot.
"yes!"
The two brothers Zhan Ya and Zhan Mang bowed together and left without daring to stay.
Seeing that there was no one around, Bai Feng asked the old man next to him the question he had been pressing in his heart.
"Uncle Hei, why did you say those unnecessary things?"
Hei Sha, who had expected it, smiled and said sincerely: "Son... we have to pay attention to rewards when doing things. This time, giving the 'White Tiger Cong Yun Dan' to a human has broken the rules of the clan. We don't ask for anything."
How about some returns?”
Now that it was private, Bai Feng lost all her arrogance in front of her uncle. She leaned against the wall and said, "Uncle Hei, you know who I hate owing things to. This time, I just want to pay back everything I owe him."
, those pills are enough, now I don’t want to involve anything more. Besides, what can he give me in return?"
Heisha squinted his eyes and said in thought:
"If that human being is really as you said, he knows many long-lost secret techniques, and he is still young, and his future will be limitless. There is nothing wrong with having more contact with him."
"I don't need to get close to a human!"
Bai Feng's voice was loud and firm, and his short words contained a bit of anger.
Heisha shook his head and said nonchalantly: "But that was not your attitude when you asked me to practice those pills."
Bai Feng knew that she shouldn't be rude in front of her uncle. She tried to calm down and said:
"It was different from now. Now I don't owe him anything, so there is no need to do anything extra."
Heisha understood that the current atmosphere was a bit stiff, so he changed the topic.
"Bai Feng, you should know the prophecy of the 'Black Devil', right?"
"You want to say that he...maybe?"
Of course Bai Feng knew the meaning of Hei Sha's words.
The dying prophecy from a great shaman hundreds of years ago is a dagger hanging in the hearts of all orcs. It has been hanging ever since and has never fallen to the ground.
"Well, to be precise, I think he is."
"Why are you so sure?"
Bai Feng knew that his uncle would not judge rashly, but what he was talking about now was too important. However, although humans with black hair and black eyes are rare, among the huge human population, people with such characteristics are
There are about 1,800 of them. It is impossible to determine whether he is the person who predicted the prophecy just based on his appearance.
"Do you still remember the moment when that young boy Zhan Mang was rude to him?"
Hei Sha turned around with his cane in hand, looking at the oil lamp on the wall and remembering.
"Well, remember, I shouldn't have let the two of them follow. It would cause chaos at this time."
Bai Feng sighed. She knew that the two brothers had objections to her giving these pills to a human being, but she couldn't bear their begging and finally agreed to let them accompany her. Although the two brothers did not agree with each other according to their previous agreement.
Nothing serious happened, but some unnecessary troubles were caused.
Although Bai Feng didn't seem to express anything at the time, in fact she was also having a headache about this matter.
With Bai Feng's straightforward temperament, she would personally teach Zhan Mang a lesson at that time.
But since this matter involved outsiders and tribesmen, Bai Feng knew that it was unfair whether he punished Zhan Mang or waited and watched. Fortunately, Zhan Ya, who was more stable, smoothed things over and she didn't make any trouble.
Heisha turned his face in the firelight, looked up at Bai Feng and said, "That's not the point, kid. At that time, did you pay attention to the boy's eyes?"
"Huh? That's not true..."
Bai Feng frowned slightly and tried to recall, but she really didn't pay much attention to the boy's performance at that time.
"I saw it, I saw it clearly."
Hei Sha looked into Bai Feng's eyes, as if recalling the scene through her eyes.
"In his dark eyes, there is a devil...sneering."
"!!"
These words made Bai Feng's eyes widen. Could it be that the human boy was really the one who made the prophecy?
"Haha, maybe it's because I'm old-sighted. Anyway, Bai Feng, there's nothing wrong with building a good relationship with him."
Hei Sha laughed when he saw Bai Feng's astonished look. He rarely saw such an expression on his niece's face. In fact, Hei Sha didn't believe that prophecy. After all, the huge orc group was definitely not just one or two "devils".
It can be exterminated, so he wanted to keep the topic vague.
But Bai Feng didn't think so, she said seriously:
"If he is really the person of the prophecy, then we should not befriend him, but should find a way to kill him early before he grows up."
Bai Feng unknowingly dug her nails into her flesh with her clenched fists. If this was really the case, then she should do what she should do to wipe it out before its wings were full.
Heisha sighed: "Baifeng, you should not have forgotten our position. We already have a life-and-death relationship with those scum, but with our current abilities, it is still too far to avenge this."
"To do this, you have to rely on someone who has forbidden prophecies?"
Thinking of the blood feud, Baifeng's heart felt cramped, but she still gritted her teeth and retorted:
"Let's not forget that he doesn't have that ability now. Even if he does have that ability in the future, what should we do if we get burned?"
"He is in jail like us. We are sharing weal and woe at this time. If we are lucky, we will be rewarded in the future."
"Is that why you said those things to him?"
After listening to Heisha's words, Bai Feng did understand somewhat, but she still felt a little unwilling.
Why does it have to be him?
Why does it have to be related to that human being?
Why can't I keep my mind away from that human being?
Bai Feng unclenched his fists, and his nails had left some red marks on his palms.
"Yes, that's it. Regardless of whether he is the devil in the prophecy or not, he can defeat you now. Even if the result is just a slight fluke, he is still worthy of our friendship."
Heisha is already old, and he has seen and heard far more than the fledgling Bai Feng.
"What's more, he is the first person that you, a proud and arrogant child, have fallen in love with in so many years."
So many things, including Bai Feng's hidden thoughts, Hei Sha can see much more clearly than she does.
"Well!"
The old man exposed her ignorant thoughts, and Bai Feng's cheeks turned red. She wanted to explain something, but the rickety old man in front of her had already walked away slowly with a cane.
"I'm an orc."
Bai Feng lowered his eyes, leaning against the cold and rough wall with his back, and could only mumble words in his mouth filled with helplessness.
