Chapter 48 Why are you nervous?

Ling Yu looked up at the man in surprise.

What's going on with the tail?

He actually put his arm around her and said in public that he would treat her well. Does this mean he approves of her? Or...?

Everyone was a little surprised and paused for a moment before bursting into laughter.

Yu is different now than before. Outsiders all think she's easy to get along with and has grown up to be beautiful. As a beast husband, of course, I feel it even more deeply.

Then, the females scattered to find materials for making clothes.

She didn't forget to remind Ling Yu, "Yu, when we get back the materials we need, you teach us how to make clothes, okay?"

"Yes, of course."

Ling Yu smiled.

The males wisely stopped joining in and went about their own business.

Only Wei and Lingyu remained in the same spot.

Yu couldn't help but steal a glance at him, only to be caught red-handed by Wei.

"What are you looking at?" he asked casually.

"No, it's nothing."

She shook her head in embarrassment.

If it weren't for his cold tone, she would have almost suspected that Wei had a slight crush on her. It seems that what he said just now was just a polite remark.

I just didn't want to embarrass her.

Sigh, although I expected it, I still feel a little disappointed.

Suddenly, her hand was taken by a pair of large, smooth, and jade-like hands. The man's voice was clear and elegant:

"Come with me to see how the iron smelting is going."

Ling Yu's heart pounded. He actually held her hand?
Her palms were sweating with nervousness.

Oh no! What if he sensed it? I'm so embarrassed.

"Oh."

She pretended to be calm and followed him.

When Lingyu arrived at the cave dwelling, she found several males doing some work.

Several cave dwellings were also dug.

The iron was almost fully forged, and they were still hammering it with stone hammers.

"It was made exactly as you instructed. How is it?"

Wei released her hand, raising a slight brow.

This girl has to be so nervous; her palms are sweating a lot.

But he, who was always a clean freak, didn't feel disgusted at all. Instead, he thought it was a normal human condition and nothing to worry about.

He went over and took out one of the knives that was already mostly finished.

He handed it to Lingyu to look at.

"That's right! You actually did it."

Ling Yu looked at the shape of the knife, which was exactly the same as the one she had drawn on the ground for Wei yesterday. It even had a wooden handle.

This man is quite clever, isn't he?

They were able to produce a nearly identical finished product simply by describing it verbally.

"Tail, you're amazing!"

She couldn't help but admire and praise him.

Once it's successful, iron manufacturing in the tribe will be just a matter of time, marking another big step forward in the development of tribal civilization.

Wei smiled slightly, quite pleased with her praise; he had been pondering how to make it a success all night.

"After cooling and forging a few more times, it should be fine."

He spoke casually, which prompted Ling Yu to nod repeatedly.

Her excited, bright eyes filled her whole being with color.

"But where did you find this iron ore?"

Upon hearing the casual question, Ling Yu's smile suddenly froze. After hesitating for a few seconds, she looked around somewhat guiltily.

Then, she tugged at the hem of her dress with her little hand.

Wei was somewhat puzzled.

"Could you lower your head a little? I'll tell you something in private."

He then noticed that the female was standing on tiptoe, trying to whisper to him, but she was too short and could only reach his shoulder.

That furtive little appearance piqued his interest.

Tail lowered its head slightly and took the initiative to approach the little female.

"You said."

The sudden closeness allowed Ling Yu to faintly smell the cool, delicate fragrance emanating from the tail, which stirred her heart and made her blush.

"The iron ore was found at the border between the Yang tribe and our tribe."

It's said to be a border area, so it should be within the territory of the Yang tribe.

Otherwise, this female wouldn't have told him so secretly. Wei frowned slightly: "Xuanhe, you went?"

"Mmm." Ling Yu nodded.

"He does have a good intention."

He spoke with an inscrutable expression, straightening his body.

She regained that aloof and detached demeanor.

Xuan, that guy, has always hated trouble the most and would never do anything that would cause trouble for himself, yet he actually went to the Yang tribe to do such a disgraceful thing for this female.

It seems he's taken a liking to this female.

However, this didn't really have any impact; it was just that some stones were taken.

However, he felt a slight displeasure.

"What's wrong?" Ling Yu asked with some concern, noticing Wei's serious expression.

Could she have gotten herself into trouble?

Wei suddenly changed the subject: "You fulfilled your promise last time, and I should keep my word too. Tonight, I'll prepare something for you..."

He paused, then looked at her intently.

"award."

Ling Yu's heart skipped a beat. A reward?

Why did she feel something was off about the tail? Why did it offer her a reward on its own initiative?
At this moment, someone came to talk to Wei about something.

Ling Yu walked away silently, not daring to disturb them, her mind preoccupied with the matter at hand.

Now that ironware has been accepted by everyone, she still has a lot of ironware to teach everyone, but what she lacks right now is iron ore.

Going to the Yang tribe to look for iron ore was ultimately not a suitable option.

She thought for a moment, then walked up to the males firing the kiln and said, "Thank you all for your hard work. We will be making some other ironware next, which will require a lot of iron ore."

Has anyone seen stones like this anywhere else?

When the males saw the female walk confidently to their side and speak gently, they all stopped what they were doing and looked at her.

"I seem to vaguely recognize this kind of stone."

"I think I've seen them before, but they're quite far from our tribe."

Everyone started talking.

Ling Yu was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Can you take them back to the tribe?"

"With these, we can make shovels, hoes, swords, kitchen knives... and many, many other things."

"These are all things that can make our tribe stronger."

The males were quite simple-minded; upon hearing that it was for the sake of the tribe, and seeing that the stones had indeed become hard after being fired, they all nodded in agreement.

The key is that Ling Yu successfully accomplished everything she had said before.

They had developed a basic level of trust in her.

"Let's go look for it."

"Then we'll be in charge of forging iron here."

……

Ling Yu thought that no one would listen to her.

To my surprise, they all listened to her and were even willing to do things because of her words, which surprised and delighted me.

"Thank you all. I'll be cooking dinner tonight, so you're all welcome to come over and eat together."

She spoke enthusiastically.

There are also some mushrooms and meat in the cave; we'll cook them and let everyone try them later.

The males looked at her in surprise.

She actually wants to cook for them? My impression of her improved a bit, and my attitude towards her also softened.

"Yu, thank you."

"When Wei asked us to come and help, none of us believed it. Now we realize you're really capable; you actually did what you said you would do."

"You've changed a lot compared to before, that's great."

“My wife made a bar of soap a few days ago, saying that you taught her how to make it, and it smells really nice after washing with it. I didn’t believe her at first, but now I trust her completely.”

"You are really amazing."

Ling Yu smiled and said a few modest words, then chatted with them for a while.

She quickly integrated into the team, not only giving the males some useful tips on iron smelting, but also examining a few of their old ailments and sharing treatment methods.

As everyone chatted and laughed, Wei walked over.

He stared at the scene before him in disbelief.

Yu was sitting with about a dozen males, chatting animatedly about something. They were gesturing wildly.

One of the males even reached out, seemingly to touch her shoulder.

His face immediately darkened. He walked over, grabbed the female's shoulder, and pulled her into his arms. His cool voice carried a hint of displeasure:

"What are you doing?"
