Chapter 43

Ka Mai let Rui Ensi in. After Su Ce opened the door, unexpectedly, Rui Ensi was not with anyone.

Although Su Ce wanted to leave so that the two could get along alone, Su Ce stayed under Ka Mai's pleading eyes. And to repay the kindness for the last time that he treated him, he stayed.

Su Ce thought so, he sat back to his original seat, silently turning himself onto a shadow in the corner. At this time, there's no place for him to talk.

Ka Mai and Rui Ensi stood opposite and looked at each other. The atmosphere between them was ambiguous.

Rui Ensi's gaze was so focused that Ka Mai only looked at him for a moment and then moved his eyes away.

"Please sit down." Ka Mai said. "...Do you want any medicine or are you feeling unwell?"

Everyone knows he's not here for that purpose…

Rui Ensi froze and quickly smiled. "Everything is fine with me. I came to see you, not because of any illness."

Ka Mai moved his finger and sat uncomfortably on a square stool next to him—this was originally for the patient and his family members to sit—then said, "Please sit, too."

Rui Ensi nervously followed and secretly reflected on whether he had acted too hastily. However, after all, he is a member of the Maya tribe and only has a few days to spend the Fire Dance Festival here. If Ka Mai will not accept him during this period, it's impossible even if he wants to stay.

Ai-yo… If he can't stay for a long time, who knows if Ka Mai will be chased by others!

God knows that even if Ka Mai—a witch doctor—has a good personality, he will make almost all males flinch and the chances of being chased away are very small, it's just…

Orcs who fall in love became irrational.

However, Rui Ensi decided to take a detour to ease the atmosphere. He turned his head to look at Su Ce nearby and said, "Hey, you're here too, Ah Ce." Then asked, "What are you doing here?"

Oh. It can be seen from here that this person's IQ has definitely decreased.

Su Ce glanced straight at him. "I got Tan Tu some medicine." His tone was calm. "He just fought with you and got hurt. I'm worried."

Rui Ensi appeared embarrassed.

It looked like he picked a wrong topic…

In fact, his fight with Tan Tu was just an itch—compared with most males he had fought before. He does protect the rights and interests of females, yes, but few males are also really bad for females… Moreover, he has a good sense of discretion. The reason why Tan Tu was bleeding today has a lot to do with Tan Tu's strong personal strength.

He just forgot about it…

But even so, Tan Tu's injury was nothing, and just needed to wipe some medicine… and this female, Su Ce, seems to care so much.

In the past, other females liked to have a fight with their partners—to show that females were not easy to bully. As females, he only does this to tell the males that as long as he exist, the females will have a backer behind them so that males can only be better for the females in the future.

But now it seems like he was hated for the first time.

This time, Rui Ensi was really at wrong.

Su Ce doesn't really hate him. He knows very well that it is normal to have a fight between his companions from time to time in the orc world. But because of a certain 'love dearly' mood, his tone uncontrollably appeared a little stiff.

Seeing Rui Ensi embarrassed, Ka Mai somehow felt less nervous.

He had heard a lot of females talking about this Rui Ensi before, but he had never seen him because he was a witch doctor and rarely participated in activities with outsiders. And just this time, he was courted by the subject whom all female yearns for… as if a legendary character suddenly appeared in reality that made him have a feeling of being in a dream.

Moreover, Rui Ensi's appearance looked really different from ordinary females. Ka Mai felt like he was between female and male. Rui Ensi has a figure close to that of a male, a profile that is more rigid than that of a female, and a taste that neither a male nor an ordinary female can have… To be honest, he's also somewhat moved.

Unfortunately, he has too much to worry about. He always fell as if promises will only hurt each other.

Although the other party didn’t think so at all… but it's not easy to cross a hurdle that has been in one's heart for so many years.

Especially this kind of popular star, once he promised but made him unhappy, he will feel sorry for many people…

But now Rui Ensi's performance makes him feel that this person is not as hard to touch as he imagined. Maybe he's just an ordinary courter?

Although he was nervous, the opponent was still feeling a bit uncomfortable which makes them even. This slowly flattened their sense of distance.

Rui Ensi sensitively sensed the relief of Ka Mai's mood, and he himself secretly relieved. You know, for the first time he had the feeling of heart attack!

Thought of here, he ignored the little rigidity caused by Su Ce's words. Instead, he looked at Ka Mai and made efforts for his purpose of coming here today.

Rui Ensi intently looked at Ka Mai and cautiously said, "Ka Mai, you know what I mean, I will not elaborate too much."

Ka Mai looked back at Rui Ensi and smiled softly. Rui Ensi took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice. "Dear Ka Mai, would you like to be my 'partner' on the hunting day?"

Ka Mai's eyes widened when he heard this.

Su Ce was confused… Hunting day?

The air was quiet as Ka Mai's expression slightly changed, as if he was seriously thinking about something and didn't give an answer soon. At this time, someone suddenly knocked outside.

Ka Mai was startled. He got up and walked over. Rui Ensi disappointedly looked at his back.

But this was also something that can't be done so easily.

The someone who came here surprised several people but was reasonable.

It's Tan Tu.

Su Ce looked at him angrily. Didn't he said that he should wait for him… Why did he come here with all that wounds?

His expression became more serious. When Tan Tu came in, he saw it at once, and immediately showed a flattering smile. "Ah Ce, I've come to pick you up."

Su Ce frowned.

Tan Tu scratched his hair. "You've been out for a long time. I was worried."

Su Ce recognized his implication and was somewhat helpless. However, this is Tan Tu. Even he himself did not show up after estimating the time when his partner would return, it's only natural to worry. Su Ce stood up and said goodbye to Ka Mai and Rui Ensi. "Tan Tu has come to pick me up. I'll leave first."

The male has come, it's not right for Ka Mai to stop them.

Su Ce walked over, held the wooden tube, and pulled Tan Tu's wrist towards the door.

Finally, they return to their natural private space.

As for "hunting day"... if Rui Ensi invited Ka Mai, as a 'female', it should also have something to do with him, so he asked Tan Tu the same.

After going out, Su Ce and Tan Tu both walked home.

Tan Tu brought out the heavy medicine while Su Ce curiosity asked, "Tan Tu, what is hunting day? I heard Rui Ensi invite Ka Mai to be his 'partner'. What's going on?"

Tan Tu surprisingly exclaimed, "Ah, Ah Ce, you already know this!" He tilted his head. "Actually, I was going to talk to you about this too. Ai—I was going to discuss this with you once you've return."

Then, Su Ce's doubts were answered.

The so-called hunting day is a collective activity held during the Fire Dance Festival and is also a dangerous activity. It is mainly to test the strength of the males and their ability to protect females. Therefore, it requires a female to match with a male to hunt a dangerous beast—bringing the beast's gallbladder to the tribe. It's also possible that a male can go alone but his task will become two ends.

Usually, the male invites his partner, of course. It is also not mandatory for all males to participate, like when males with partners cannot go because they cannot invite the other or leave their partners; males who are too old to travel gradually may not attend. If a young and powerful male gives up voluntarily without any injury, other males will think he has no courage and will be laughed at.

The most active part of every hunting day was always the male of the tribe who holds the Fire Dance Festival. At this time there will be dozens of females in Maya tribe, if you can invite them, it means that this female is willing to take risks as he accompany you, then courtship will be more successful.

Rui Ensi is the strongest female, and in courtship, it is probably because of this that he was given the opportunity to participate in the hunting day activity.

The 'hunting day' lasts for five days. Males will take females to the target beast's location or even further. When they return, they will hold a bonfire meeting again to show his prize and get his beloved female.

After Tan Tu finished, Su Ce understood the meaning of hunting day. The theme was still hunting and courtship.

This was not surprising… However, if so many people go to distant places, maybe he can ask more people to inquire about the whereabouts of his Senior.

When Tantu saw that Su Ce didn't have any panic expression, he carefully asked, "Ah Ce, would you like to be my partner?"

Su Ce was stunned, then nodded. "Of course."

Tan Tu smiled.

Su Ce thought for a moment and said, "Tan Tu, please help me ask your friends to pay attention to my brother's whereabouts… a black-eyed and black-haired female."

Tan Tu understood Su Ce's concerns and nodded without hesitation. "Okay! Ah Ce, I will hunt beasts quickly and will accompany you to look around."
