Chapter 106 Leyou's Dissatisfaction
Seemingly sensing Qinglin's gaze, Lei Xiu flashed to protect Lezhi in front of him, then turned and glanced sideways at Qinglin, a single glance enough to deter Qinglin's probing gaze.
"What? He's practically a beast that guards its food." Turning his gaze to Lei Xiu, Qing Lin's face broke into his signature hearty smile.
Lezhi, who was being protected, did not notice Qinglin's probing gaze. The transformation of the fur ball had successfully attracted everyone's attention, and he assumed that all the probing gazes were directed at the fur ball in his arms.
Having already experienced this before, Lezhi skillfully clung tightly to Maoqiu's arm and quietly followed the main group to the resting place that the Windwalker Clan had arranged for them. This area belonged to the Spirit Feather Clan.
Since it was someone else's home, in order to look after each other, Leshan started making arrangements as usual: "Everyone will be paired up, with at least two people living together. Once you've been assigned, come to me to get your house number."
Upon hearing Le Shan's arrangement, Le Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't yet decided who he wanted to live with when Lei Xiu brought him to Le Shan's side without giving him a chance to refuse.
"We'd like to share a room, preferably on the ground floor with a yard, thank you." Lei Xiu made his request without any hesitation, and Le Shan didn't mind.
With Lezhi in the team, everyone knows his situation, so they would usually make an exception and give him special consideration, like wanting a courtyard on the first floor. That was his original plan.
The two exchanged the nameplates with incredible speed. Despite rushing, Leyou was still a step too late. Seeing that her chance to live with Lezhi had slipped away, she stomped her feet in anger.
"Ugh, this isn't fair, Lezhi! I was actually planning to live with you, Leixiu. It was one thing for you to monopolize Lezhi when we were in the clan, but now that we're finally out here, why are you still clinging to her like this?" She's stickier than a worm, so annoying.
Leyou's face was full of reluctance, but there was nothing he could do about it now.
"Ah..." Lezhi was in a dilemma. He didn't really care who he lived with; Leyou and Leixiu were like family to him.
He turned to look at Lei Xiu, then at Le You, and didn't know what to do. The problem was that Le You had a strong grip, which hurt him a little.
"Alright, let's go." Without giving Le You even a glance, Lei Xiu used the doorplate to confirm the exact location of the room, then took Le Zhi's free hand and prepared to go to the room to rest.
Lezhi winced as Leyou pinched him, but he took the opportunity to break free from Leyou's grip. He gave Leyou a helpless look and then left with Lei Xiu.
Seeing that the matter was already settled, Leyou hurriedly turned around to find Leshan to get the registration plaque, deciding to choose the house closest to Lezhi, and shouted to Lezhi, who hadn't gone too far, "Lezhi, I'll come find you after I choose a room, wait for me..."
"understood."
Even after receiving Lezhi's response, Leyou was still somewhat indignant, feeling that his position as Lezhi's closest friend was in serious jeopardy.
It was all Lei Xiu's fault, he kept muttering to himself, while urging Le Shan to hurry up with his eyes.
At this moment, who would dare to offend this living father? Leshan quickly handed Leyou the sign he wanted, saying, "It's best for minors not to live alone. You should at least find someone to live with you."
"I'm not alone, Le Ting..."
"Hey, they're here." Le Ting, who was talking to his tribesmen, immediately squeezed out of the crowd when he heard Le You's loud voice calling out.
"what's wrong?"
“Let’s live together and be neighbors with Lezhi. It will be easier to discuss setting up a stall later.”
"Ah, okay, okay." Originally, Le Ting had planned to try the Windwalker Clan's unique high-altitude dwellings, but upon seeing Le You's expression, she immediately swallowed her opinion and simply nodded in agreement.
He said he'd be fine with living anywhere, really. He just wanted Leyou to stop staring at him like that; that look was giving him nightmares.
Neither Le Nian nor Le Ju were selected for the first wave of departures. Le You's original plan was for the young people to continue living together, making it easier for them to visit each other and have fun.
Now that Lezhi has been taken away, only Leting is left. Leting also has a share in the business, so of course he wants to be with Leting. Luckily, he chose the room closest to Leyou.
Leyou is quite satisfied with this result.
Meanwhile, Lezhi had successfully arrived at their house, a small courtyard very similar to the one in the clan, with some low shrubs and lawns. Lei Xiu put the house number into a groove at the entrance, and the house door slid open automatically.
The interior decoration of the house is quite nice, nothing too fancy. There is only one bathroom, located between the two bedrooms, which is quite convenient to use.
"Zhizhi, you choose the room first, and I'll take the rest." Judging from Lezhi's expression, he was very satisfied with the room. Lei Xiu himself didn't care about the environment, as long as the people were right.
Knowing that Lei Xiu wasn't being polite, Le Zhi didn't hesitate, "I'm fine with anything, let's go with this one."
This room is located at the very back of the house. The layout of the two rooms is actually quite similar, so there's not much to choose from.
“Okay.” Lei Xiu nodded. “Then you should rest for a bit and then take a shower. You have a party to attend later.”
"Oh, I see."
Letting the fluffy ball flap its little wings and explore the room, Lezhi walked to the wall, reached out and touched it, preparing to have a brief chat with the house vine and say hello.
Before the TOEFL, he had a good relationship with the family's ancestral home, and this time it only took a short time to get a response from the homeowner.
He casually channeled some wood-type energy into the vine, and the vine, nourished by the energy, immediately reacted and became much more lively.
Having successfully established a friendly connection with Fujiwara, Rakuchi smiled and withdrew his hand.
The room was a closed space, and Lezhi didn't know where to open the window, but he didn't need to worry about that. He just needed to think about opening the window in his mind, and the fully automatic window slid open in front of him.
The window faces the lawn behind the house, offering a wide and open view of lush greenery. Some vines and leaves hang naturally from the windowsill, swaying gently in the breeze for a long time before finally settling down.
Seeing the window open, the fluffy creature, which had already explored the room in a short time, spread its wings and landed on the windowsill, squinting its eyes to feel the breeze blowing through its fur and enjoying the moment of comfort.
Lezhi stood with it at the window for a while, then picked up the furball and prepared to clean off the dust it had picked up on its journey before the party.
"Alright, fluffy ball, it's time for us to take a bath."
Tree spirits are all clean creatures, and since they travel for long periods, Leshan had already considered the need for cleanliness, and tried to find places with water sources to spend the night every day.
Using flint for warmth, the group persevered in cleaning every day even in the late autumn. Only after arriving today were they not in too much of a sorry state.
Even so, Lezhi couldn't wait to take a hot indoor shower, both to cleanse and to relax.
"Tweet~"
Having gotten used to Lezhi taking a bath every day, Maoqiu was a little reluctant, but knew she couldn't refuse, so she could only respond helplessly and obediently let Lezhi carry her into the bathroom.
The bathroom of the Windwalker Clan is a little different from the one that Lezhi modified himself. The water that comes out directly is still cold, but some flints are evenly embedded around the bathtub. By sending a little energy to activate the flints, you can get a tub of water at a moderate temperature.
It is estimated that because the number of flints was limited, only one bathroom was provided for two bedrooms.
In any case, this place is much better than the wild environment. Lezhi quickly cleaned himself and Maoqiu up, and when he came out, the fresh scent of grass and trees on his body lingered for a long time.
Maoqiu's fur doesn't absorb water, so you can just wash it and shake it off. But not Lezhi's hair. Even with two towels, her hair was only half-dry. Lezhi didn't mind, though, and trotted into the living room with her half-dry hair hanging loose.
"Lei Xiu, I'm done showering. The bathroom is ready to use."
At this moment, Lei Xiu was sitting quietly in the living room. When he heard Le Zhi's voice, he looked up and saw that Le Zhi was in a relaxed posture as if she were in the Lingyu Clan's home.
He was momentarily dazed, for so short that Lezhi didn't even notice, when he heard Lei Xiu softly reply, "Okay."
Watching Lei Xiu walk into the bathroom, Le Zhi released the fragrant furball that she had personally washed.
"Alright, fluffy ball, play by yourself for a while now."
After speaking, he turned around and began to tour the common areas. He went to the kitchen to take a look and found that the stove facilities in the kitchen were similar to those in the tribe. Moreover, the Windwalker tribe had thoughtfully provided each house with a set of kitchen utensils and corresponding tableware. It seems that the person in charge of receiving guests is a very meticulous person.
I remember the Windwalker chieftain saying that the dinner party that night was a welcome feast for them, and it was probably just a way for friendly tribes to connect, since the hunting festival would officially begin in two weeks.
On the way, Leyou explained to him that the hunting competition has a new theme every year, and he was filled with anticipation for what this year's theme would be.
