Chapter 938 - 937: Surprise
Gui Zhuangzhuang thanked the Orcs who had come to help search for the two lost cubs and then picked up the two troublemakers, heading toward his own cave.
The news that the Clan Leader’s cubs had recovered spread throughout the Tribe like wildfire as the Orcs dispersed.
Gui Zhuangzhuang had just taken the two cubs back to his cave when he saw his mate anxiously pacing at the entrance.
Seeing him carrying back the two little ones, she froze in place.
Gui Zhuangzhuang knew she must have seen Beibei, whom he was holding.
He quickened his pace unconsciously and reached his mate’s side.
"Beibei?" The female’s voice trembled as she reached out to take the little troublemaker from Gui Zhuangzhuang’s hands.
She looked closely for a long time before clutching the little one to her chest.
Tears welled up once more, and her entire body began to shake with sobs.
Seeing his mate like this, Gui Zhuangzhuang’s suppressed feelings finally began to surface.
From the moment he saw the lively Beibei, the tears he had been holding back finally streamed down his cheeks.
He pulled Gui Baobao he was carrying into his arms and with a long reach, he gathered his trembling, sobbing mate into his embrace.
The family held each other together. Although they were crying, the joy in their hearts couldn’t be restrained.
The family’s tender moment was abruptly interrupted by a rush of hurried footsteps.
Gui Zhuangzhuang let go of his mate and turned to look.
"Lord Priest?"
No wonder Gui Zhuangzhuang was surprised. The elder Orc, who was being followed by many and was quickly approaching them, was none other than the rarely seen Lord Priest of the Tortoise Clan.
The old priest paid no attention to Gui Zhuangzhuang or Gui Baobao in his arms.
He walked excitedly up to Gui Zhuangzhuang’s mate and looked at the female holding Gui Beibei.
"Show me Beibei."
The old priest held a high status within the Aquatic Clan, and the female didn’t dare refuse his request.
Besides, the old priest was famously fond of young cubs in the Tribe.
So she was not the least bit worried that Gui Beibei would get hurt.
She handed the obedient Gui Beibei to the old priest.
Gui Beibei wrapped his little paws around the old priest’s Beast Skin garment, his little eyes dewy, looking incredibly adorable.
He recognized this kind grandfather; after he had ingested the toxic Sea Beasts, it was this grandfather who had treated him.
He had also been made to drink lots of bitter herbal Potions.
Although it was bitter, because of it, he didn’t have to go meet Lord Water God right away.
The old priest, ignoring the Orcs behind him, took Gui Beibei into Gui Zhuangzhuang’s cave.
After sitting down on a pile of grass, he started to examine Gui Beibei’s body carefully.
The little one cooperated well, lying on the old priest’s lap.
He answered whatever he was asked obediently.
The other Orcs didn’t leave either. They were also curious about Gui Beibei, who had suddenly gotten better.
After all, the Orcs who had returned with Gui Zhuangzhuang had also gone home to check.
Their cubs were still lying weakly in their nests, their little faces painfully scrunched up, showing no signs of waking up.
They were eager to know why the Clan Leader’s cubs could recover, and aside from looking a little frail, they no longer showed any signs of suffering from the poison.
After examining him, the old priest’s mind was also filled with shock. The little cub had truly recovered.
