Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 168

When the name "Zao" was mentioned, Yuan's expression changed instantly, though not as obviously or excitedly as it had been yesterday.

Shou's expression immediately changed, and he looked at Yuan with worry and concern.

Given his relationship with Gen, it's impossible that he didn't know about Gen and Zao. He must also know that, for Gen, the name Zao is a word that cannot be mentioned.

Shou never expected that the cub would be so bold and direct in saying the name "Zhuang".

He was completely unaware that the cub now smiling and saying the name was no different from the pitiful, expectant cub that had been looking at him just moments before.

Or rather, the concern for the source caused Shou to subconsciously overlook these minor details.

On the contrary, Yuan's expression was more calm and composed. After all, she had unknowingly been tricked into revealing a lot of information by Jiang Luoluo yesterday, and she realized afterward that Jiang Luoluo's intelligence was extraordinary.

At least other ordinary children wouldn't be able to get so much information out of her.

Moreover, judging from the fact that they asked Zao to help Jiang Luoluo, it's clear that the two have a special relationship.

Anyway, they wouldn't use these people just for some kids with ordinary relationships.

Although what Jiang Luoluo did was indeed surprising, and the telescope was very important, without sufficient familiarity with it, Zhao wouldn't have paid much attention to these things.

It's not like a stranger would just pop up and say, "I know what you're doing, I know the trouble you're going through, and I'd like to offer some help..." That would be pretty strange.

But to say that Yuan is jealous of the relationship between the cub Luo and Zao is not an exaggeration, since no one knows Zao better than Yuan.

What truly arouses jealousy in the Source is someone whose Stone Age talent rivals or surpasses that of the Creator, someone who commands the attention of even the Creator, and someone who can fulfill the Creator's requirements.

Jiang Luoluo clearly gained Zao's appreciation in other aspects, which is very obvious. Therefore, no matter how good Jiang Luoluo's relationship with Zao is, Yuan will not be jealous of it.

Because Jiang Luoluo has never been a competitor of hers on the same track.

However, if a true genius who meets the requirements for creating stone tools were to emerge, Yuan would probably feel more gratified.

At least the other party can fulfill their wish to create.

Even if she didn't do it herself, Yuan would approve of her if it reassured him.

Even if Yuan is jealous, he is only jealous that the other person has fulfilled their wish, not that the other person has a talent that he does not have.

"I'm so happy for you knowing that you have someone you like," Jiang Luoluo said with a smile.

“What? You like me? I…” Yuan subconsciously wanted to refute, but then he turned his head and saw Shou next to him and suddenly stopped talking, unable to say a word of rebuttal.

She really didn't want to be with Shoucheng's family, but she also didn't want to say anything that would hurt him.

But if he were to admit it now, he would seem very embarrassed.

Jiang Luoluo continued with a grin, "Is that so? So Yuan doesn't like Shou?"

Shou Gang was still a little stunned when he heard this, and after hearing Jiang Luoluo's words, a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

Upon seeing Shou's expression, Yuan instinctively tensed up and retorted, "I like it!"

As soon as Yuan finished speaking, he immediately realized what he had said, and the two of them blushed deeply and couldn't look each other in the eye.

Jiang Luoluo acted as if nothing had happened, her expression innocent as she said, "Oh, I knew it, Yuan definitely likes Shou."

Yuan's reaction wasn't too exaggerated, but Shou blushed completely, becoming flustered and at a loss for how to react.

Jiang Luoluo's unconventional behavior clearly caught both of them off guard.

But now that things were out in the open, Yuan wouldn't take back her words. She looked at Shou and said apologetically, "But I still can't accept you."

Shou scratched his head, not looking surprised.

"Okay." He blushed and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'll always wait for you, I know how you feel."

Having spent so much time with Gen, Shou knows Gen's obsession with Zao, and for Gen's sake, Shou is willing to wait until Gen fulfills his inner expectations, or rather, his wish.

So he doesn't mind waiting a little longer.

Just as the two were getting into a serious conversation, Jiang Luoluo's somewhat affected voice of surprise came from the side.

"Don't you two, Minamoto and Mori, plan to be together? Oh dear, that's such a shame. Zao said he would definitely come to your wedding ceremony."

Gen and Mamoru froze simultaneously, their faces filled with disbelief and incredulity.

"Wait, you mean create her..." Yuan was completely dumbfounded and couldn't even organize his thoughts.

In Yuan's eyes, Zao is not the kind of person who would change her mind because of external matters. She said that she would not meet with other people again until her requirements were met, and she would definitely do that.

However, Jiang Luoluo said that he would attend her wedding ceremony.

"How is that possible?"

Yuan thought it was impossible and subconsciously refuted it, unable to believe it.

But Jiang Luoluo asked with a smile, "Why is it impossible? You're not just anyone to Zao."

"What?" Yuan's expression was a little blank. She heard it and understood it, but she didn't really want to understand it... because her fear was fake.

In Yuan's heart, she probably didn't think that she was any different from other people in terms of Zao.

Or rather, in Yuan's mind, Zao should be the same for everyone, so how could she become that special being?

However, Jiang Luoluo simply grabbed her arm very seriously, looked at her intently, and told her with absolute certainty and a firm tone that she was creating something completely different from everyone else.

She is a child created, a child raised and nurtured by creation.

For some reason, Yuan felt a lump in her throat. Even though she wasn't feeling sad, tears kept streaming down her face.

Shou hurriedly went forward to comfort Yuan.

Perhaps comforted by her closest loved ones, Yuan suddenly burst into tears, as if she wanted to release all her emotions.
