Chapter 2038: Chapter 681: Monster in the Storm—Legendary Giant Rhinoceros

Green Snake Lana said seriously, "What you’re doing is wrong, you’re not even creatures of the same race."

Cao Xing chuckled lightly: "Your worldly views are heavier than I imagined."

"Yilena is my subject, and she will live in my territory from now on."

"As the Lord, isn’t it normal for me to care for my subordinates?"

"Or do you want your sister to be lonely for a lifetime?"

Lana was left speechless by Cao Xing’s retort.

She could only look toward her sister.

However, beside her, Yilena had completely given up thinking at this moment, continuously twisting her waist.

She had never seen her sister like this, nor had she seen a man stand before her without a stitch of clothing.

All of this was shocking Lana’s nerves.

After a moment of confusion.

Lana took a deep breath and then tossed out a line.

"Suit yourselves."

With that, the tail of the Green Snake flicked, and she turned around, heading outside the hot spring hall.

She fled...

After Lana left.

Yilena still clung tightly to Cao Xing’s neck, asking in a daze: "Lord, isn’t it bad for us to scare my sister like this?"

Cao Xing chuckled softly: "What’s bad about it? She’s been alone for too long; she’s almost become a recluse."

"Do you see her talking to anyone else in the territory besides you?"

"What we’re doing might help her come out of her shell faster."

After listening, Yilena seemed to find Cao Xing’s words reasonable.

She obediently nodded: "Hmm, I’ll listen to you."

Then, she continued to cuddle with her beloved Lord.

...

...

On the other side, after returning to her room, Lana lay back on the bed.

She sank into the bed like a lost soul, eyes vacantly staring at the ceiling.

Still muttering to herself.

"How can this be... how can this be..."

"He’s human, we are Snake-man Tribe..."

"Such things are not allowed..."

She wanted very much to forget everything she had just seen, but the images surged like a tide.

Her sister’s infatuated expression, the man’s robust body, scene after scene flashing by.

It seemed to have engraved deeply in her mind, unable to be dismissed.

After a moment, she murmured: "Sister looks really happy."

"Could doing such things really be so joyful?"

At this moment, a hint of curiosity rose in Lana’s heart.

...

...

Meanwhile, while Cao Xing and Yilena were entangled.

It was already late at night.

Outside, snow fell heavily, with cold wind roaring.

It seemed as if the entire world was shrouded in endless darkness and snow.

Simultaneously.

About six hundred kilometers away from the territory, a large giant city stood on a plain.

This was the Segra Giant City, also one of the two giant cities in the Brisban Wilds, spanning hundreds of kilometers.

The Segra Giant City had a population of hundreds of thousands all year round, with policies more open compared to Merlin City, attracting many merchants from nearby to trade, leading to a prosperous economy within the city.

However, a massive storm lasting ten days had trapped tens of thousands of residents in the city, preventing them from leaving.

The food in the city was already near depletion, and food prices had skyrocketed to a staggering level.

Fortunately, the natives of this world, having lived here for so many years, had long developed experiences to cope with such heavenly calamities.

They would stockpile large amounts of easily stored food in their basements or storage rooms.

After ten days, life was difficult but still barely manageable.

Compared to humans who could hide in the giant city, the beasts outside were in a dire situation.

Many beasts had not eaten for a long time and were driven mad by hunger.

They charged into the storm, wandering through the wilderness, seeking anything to fill their bellies.

Although the raging storm would take their heat and make them lose direction, for these beasts, the pain of hunger was far more unbearable than the cold.

Furthermore, with their keen sense of smell, some beasts did find the villages where humans resided.

Driven by hunger, they charged into these villages or small towns, launching frenzied attacks on humans, causing considerable casualties.

Recently, the Segra Giant City had also suffered several beast attacks.

However, under the defense forces in the city, these beasts not only failed to cause damage to the giant city, but also became food for the city.

At this moment, two militia wrapped in thick cotton clothing, armed to the teeth, huddled in a guard post on the city wall, warming themselves by the fire and talking to each other.

"Crackle..."

The bonfire burned fiercely, the firelight reflecting on their faces, dispelling a bit of cold.

One of the militia rubbed his hands together, turned his head, and asked: "Vidal, I heard your wife is about to give birth, right?"

The militiaman named Vidal nodded, a hint of a smile appearing on his face: "Yes, in just the next few days."

"All Gods above, may the Divine bless you."

The other militiaman showed an expression of sentiment, then patted his shoulder and asked: "Do you still have enough food at home? Your wife is about to give birth, you can’t let her starve."

Hearing this, Vidal was silent for a moment.

In this world of extreme cold, food was the most precious resource, usually not disclosed to outsiders.

To avoid arousing their covetous eyes or being targeted by ill-intentioned people.

But the militiaman in front of him was also a longtime friend; he hesitated for a moment and spoke in a low voice: "I can barely hold on for a while longer, but the meat at home is already gone."
