Chapter 284 Self-Punishment
“Jiaojiao… Jiaojiao…”
Yuan's heavy breathing and murmurs kept ringing in her ears. He Jiaojiao, who was shedding tears due to the stimulation, felt that she was going to die.
[System, system! 】
He Jiaojiao frantically called out to the system in her heart.
[Host, please do not call upon this system at this time. This system is very pure.]
He Jiaojiao rolled her eyes speechlessly. The system that constantly urged her to find a partner and have children actually had the nerve to say it was pure. Really...
[System, Yuan has been drugged. Do you have any way to help him get rid of the drug? Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be killed!]
“Jiaojiao… Jiaojiao…”
Yuan's violent movements made He Jiaojiao feel like she was really about to fall apart.
Perhaps worried that He Jiaojiao really couldn't bear it, the system still expressed it.
Knowing that the medicine to relieve the pain was on her lips, He Jiaojiao didn't care about her still bleeding red lips, hooked Yuan's neck and brought him down, then couldn't wait to kiss him.
The moment their lips touched, Yuan seemed to regain some of his sanity. He looked at He Jiaojiao with heartache, his gaze moving from her bleeding red lips to her neck and chest covered in red marks. But he couldn't stop. It was as if there was a fire in his body that was clamoring to devour him. He could only rely on his last bit of sanity to make his movements gentler.
But even though Yuan tried his best to restrain himself, He Jiaojiao eventually fainted.
When I woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw all his companions gathered around the ice bed, looking at him worriedly. As the only witch doctor with wood-type abilities, Takekuma was constantly transferring his abilities into his body.
"Jiaojiao, you're awake!" Xing Ci took the lead and picked up He Jiaojiao from the ice bed, then let her lean on his arms. "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
He Jiaojiao wanted to speak, but found her throat was very dry and painful.
Ziyi immediately went to fetch a cup of warm water and handed it to He Jiaojiao's lips. As the warm water passed over her throat, He Jiaojiao felt much more comfortable.
"I'm all right!"
He Jiaojiao took a quick look and didn't see Yuan, which made her feel very strange.
"Where's Yuan?"
Hearing that the first person He Jiaojiao asked about was Yuan, Xing Ci felt a little jealous, and even his tone became much colder, "Jiaojiao really likes Yuan very much. Even though you are in this state, are you still worried about him?"
"Don't listen to Xingci!" Ziyi glared at Xingci fiercely, "Yuan feels that he has let you down and is blaming himself!"
He Jiaojiao smiled bitterly, "He didn't want to do this. Besides, he's also a victim."
Seeing that everyone was silent, He Jiaojiao felt that something seemed amiss, so she started to speak, her tone becoming more serious. "Where is Yuanren?"
After looking around and seeing that no one answered her, He Jiaojiao turned her attention to Lin Feng, who was the easiest to break through.
"Lin Feng, you speak!"
Lin Feng was in a dilemma. He had promised Yuan not to tell anyone, but he couldn't help but answer Jiaojiao's question! This was really putting a lot of pressure on him, a wolf!
"Jiaojiao..."
Seeing Lin Feng like this, He Jiaojiao became anxious, "What happened?"
Hearing He Jiaojiao's faintly angry look, Lin Feng became anxious and blurted out, "He felt that he had hurt you, so he went to receive the punishment!"
"Accept the punishment?" He Jiaojiao was stunned. "What do you mean by accept the punishment?"
"In order to protect the females, the tribe set up an ice house specifically to punish males who made mistakes. Where did Yuan go?"
He Jiaojiao felt her head buzzing. Thinking of Yuan's behavior last night, she knew that he would blame himself when he woke up, but she didn't expect Yuan to do this.
"Quick, take me there!"
He Jiaojiao was anxious to get out of bed, but her legs gave way and she nearly fell to her knees. Fortunately, Mo Ran was quick, grabbing her waist with his big hands and picking her up.
"Jiaojiao, don't worry!" Mo Ran said gently, then picked up the thick animal skin beside him and wrapped He Jiaojiao up, "It's cold outside, you have to dress warmly."
But He Jiaojiao couldn't care less about these things at the moment. Her mind was full of that silly Yuan, and she didn't know how he was doing now.
After putting on the fur coat, He Jiaojiao urged Lin Feng to lead the way when a series of footsteps were heard outside.
"He Jiaojiao Saint Female!"
The leader's face was solemn, and when he saw He Jiaojiao, a trace of guilt flashed across his face. If he hadn't always indulged Tiantian, she wouldn't have made such a mistake.
When he saw Tiantian panicking and looking for him last night, he realized that something might have happened. But he never imagined that Tiantian would actually set her sights on Shengxi's family and do such a thing to Yuan.
Fortunately, nothing succeeded, but it was wrong after all. After all, as her father, he should bring her to apologize to the Saint.
"Apologize?" He Jiaojiao sneered, "Chief, do you think this matter can be resolved with just a verbal apology?"
Thinking about how Yuan looked when she found him last night, if she hadn't arrived in time, Yuan would have really been with Tiantian... Yuan would have committed suicide out of shame.
"Shengfei, I know that Tiantian was indeed wrong in this matter, but at least Yuan didn't... So can you please forgive her for my sake?"
"No!" He Jiaojiao, who was always easy to talk to, got angry for the first time. "If we hadn't noticed it in time and rushed over last night, do you think Yuan would still be alive and well now?"
The leader was silent!
He knew that if Tiantian had succeeded last night, there would no longer be a priest named Yuan in this world.
"Then how does the Saint Lady intend to deal with this matter?"
He Jiaojiao glanced at Tiantian, who had been following the leader without saying a word the entire time, and said, "I'm going to look for Yuan now. I'll go to the leader later to discuss how to resolve this matter."
After saying that, He Jiaojiao walked past the leader and his group and left.
The igloo for punishing males was built at the very edge of the tribe, to prevent some males from becoming distraught and injuring others. Therefore, the igloo was built extremely thick. Furthermore, whenever an orc was punished inside, there would always be several high-ranking orcs guarding the outside.
Arriving at the ice house, He Jiaojiao looked at the orcs standing outside with helpless looks on their faces and hurried forward.
"Where's Yuan?"
The orcs had heard before that Priest Yuan's partner was a very beautiful and petite female, exactly like the female in front of them, so they immediately guessed He Jiaojiao's identity.
"The priest is still inside."
Although she could tell that these people had something to say, He Jiaojiao couldn't care less now. "Can you help me open this door?"
One of them finally couldn't help but say, "Holy Female, I know that Priest Yuan may have made a mistake accidentally, but he has already obediently accepted the punishment. Why won't you let him go?"
