These words touched the werewolf's heart. He was silent for a moment, then ate all the herbs expressionlessly.
Almost immediately after eating, his stomach began to feel warm, and then the wounds on his body gradually became less painful. A trace of surprise flashed in the werewolf's eyes, and for the first time he looked directly at this inferior orc who couldn't even start a fire.
Liang Tan's hands were almost stiff, but he still couldn't light a flame. Just as he was getting sweaty from anxiety, a large hand with distinct joints suddenly reached out.
Liang Tan was stunned, he looked up in the direction of his hand and met a pair of dark green eyes.
His eyes were surprisingly the same beautiful green color as when he was in beast form.
Liang Tan stared at him for a long time before she gradually realized that something was wrong. She looked along his neck and chest, and sure enough, she saw... ah ah ah, her eyes were not clear!
The werewolf didn't notice her collapse. With his wounds all over his body, he lowered his head a few times and completely ignited the fire.
A bonfire started in the cave, dispelling the chill from Liang Tan's body. The werewolf's handsome features flickered in the firelight, making him look even more handsome and beautiful: "Idiot."
Liang Tan: "..." Before making such a noble and cold face, can you put on some clothes? Your thing is about to fall to the ground!
Of course, she still didn't dare to say this, but just accepted the word "idiot" humiliatingly.
The werewolves re-transformed and the cave became crowded again.
"Healing." He lay beside the fire and closed his eyes lazily.
Liang Tan's mouth twitched, and he found a large leaf to collect rainwater, and then he simply cleaned the wound for him. Although he said he was cleaning the wound, he actually just removed the dirt nearby, and did not use a lot of water to wash it.
"The water isn't boiled yet, so use as little as possible. I'll wash you properly when I can boil water someday." Liang Tan said, and reminded, "Tell me if it hurts."
The werewolf snorted, still keeping his eyes closed.
Liang Tan resisted the urge to roll his eyes, lowered his head and cleaned all his wounds, then took off his coat and began to remove the cotton thread on it.
The werewolf waited for a long time, and when he opened his eyes he saw her playing with those strange fabrics, and his face suddenly darkened: "What are you doing?"
"Don't talk. I'll make the thread for you." Liang Tan didn't even raise his head.
The werewolf snorted coldly, but did not go forward to disturb him.
The threads on the clothes were extremely difficult to remove. Liang Tan spent a long time before he managed to remove two relatively long threads. He then quickly rubbed them with grass leaves until the cotton threads all turned green.
"I need to get some stitches." Liang Tan reminded.
The werewolf frowned, but didn't move.
Liang Tan took a deep breath and inserted the first needle with trembling hands. When the werewolf felt the bone needle piercing the wound, he subconsciously tensed his body, but did not feel the expected pain.
He was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Liang Tan thoughtfully.
Liang Tan lowered her head and sewed the wound stitch by stitch, constantly telling herself not to feel pressured and to think of it as making a fur coat for herself. This suggestion may have worked, as she became more and more skilled, sewing faster and faster, and soon she had sewn the two longest strands.
"It looks much better now." She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why doesn't it hurt?" Cui Ling asked.
Liang Tan paused, then winked at him mysteriously: "Because I am the god of the mountains and forests, my hands have supreme power. As long as you treat me well in the future, you will get endless happiness."
The orc world is very similar to primitive society, where everyone believes in supernatural powers, otherwise the male protagonist would not have been expelled from the tribe.
She might as well take advantage of this, maybe the male protagonist will treat her better in the future.
Liang Tan was full of confidence, and when he looked up he met the male protagonist's eyes which were full of serious thought.
"Do you understand?" she asked kindly.
"I understand." The male protagonist raised his eyes, his green eyes glowing faintly, "If I eat you, maybe my body will recover immediately."
Liang Tan: “…” Is there something wrong?
176. Chapter 176: The Inferior Orcs Are So Annoying
Liang Tan just wanted to show off, but he didn't expect to get himself into trouble. He was so scared that he quickly backed away: "I lied! I'm just an inferior orc who can't even transform. I'm not a mountain god or a forest god. Don't kill me!"
As he was speaking, he saw the big bad wolf move his body, and he immediately screamed and covered his head.
After a long time, the expected pain did not come. She carefully opened one eye and saw him appear in human form again, warming himself by the fire with an indifferent look. A piece of dirty animal skin was wrapped around his waist. Although his eight-pack abs and strong and thin long legs were still exposed, it at least covered the key parts.
Liang Tan's first reaction was to look at the wounds on his body. He saw that the originally torn places were still well sewn with thread, but the cotton thread was much looser, and there was excess thread exposed in each stitch, which made Liang Tan's back hurt.
Seeing her looking at him, he just glanced at her indifferently.
"...You didn't believe it." Liang Tan came back to his senses, feeling a little embarrassed. He suddenly began to miss the soft and cute little thing in the previous world.
He sneered, "I don't believe in God." If there was a God, how could he have fallen to such a state.
Liang Tan couldn't help but feel sympathy when he thought of his experience.
The protagonist is indeed unlucky. He has been ostracized by the orcs in the tribe since he was young. Every time the prey is divided, he is only given scraps. Good things never come to him, but bad things always fall on him. Although he has suffered so much injustice and pain, he still rushes to the front in every hunt, silently guarding the tribe where he grew up.
As a result, after he was injured, his tribe members expelled him for unfounded reasons.
It's so miserable! Liang Tan sighed silently, and then tried to get close to him: "What's your name?" Although he knew that his name must be Cui Ling, he still had to go through the necessary procedures.
He ignored her.
"What's your name?" Liang Tan continued to ask, as if he would keep asking if he didn't answer.
After asking three or five times in a row, Cui Ling was disturbed several times and finally couldn't help but bare his teeth at her.
Liang Tan: "...You are in human form now." Grinning looks really ugly.
Cui Ling was stunned for a moment, then with a stern face he transformed into a beast.
The originally loose cotton thread became tight again and was dyed red during the change.
Liang Tan watched him change his form and suddenly felt overwhelmed: "Fortunately, you were in animal form when you were sewing. If you were in human form, the ropes would have all broken by now."
Cui Ling didn't care at all and just lay in front of the fire with his eyes closed.
"Hey, what's your name?" Liang Tan brought up the old matter again.
Cui Ling: “…”
After a brief silence, he finally spoke faintly: "Ling."
"Ling? What a good name," Liang Tan said seriously, "Does it mean dusk?"
Cui Ling opened his eyes and looked at her: "You know?"
"To be more precise, it should be evening." Liang Tan interpreted it literally.
Cui Ling looked at her quietly without saying a word.
His mother died two years after giving birth to him, and the only thing she left him was her name.
Ling, only he himself knew what it meant. He didn't expect that after so many years, there would suddenly be a second person.
This scene did not appear in the original text, Liang Tan just said it casually. Seeing his expression suddenly change, he sat up straighter and said, "My name is Liang Tan. You know Chaoyang, which means the morning sun. So our names are quite compatible, one for morning and the other for evening."
Cui Ling stared at her expressionlessly: "Why?"
Liang Tan blinked: "Why?"
"Good morning. Why do you have to add '梁'?" Cui Ling didn't know what 梁 was and could only imitate her pronunciation.
Liang Tan was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that there were no surnames in the orc world. She hesitated and tried to explain: "There are often duplicate names. Just add a random character in front of it and it will sound unique."
After that, she tried: "How about adding one for you too?"
Cui Ling glanced at her and said, "I have never met anyone with the same name."
"What if you meet that person in the future? You have such a nice name, what if someone else uses it?" Liang Tan continued to persuade.
Cui Ling sneered, wanting to say that his name had already become part of his alien species because of his snow-white fur. No orc parent would be willing to let their hopeful child have the same name as him.
But when he met Liang Tan's serious gaze, he said nothing.
"How about you add the word 'Cui'?" Liang Tan asked confidently.
Cui Ling ignored him.
"I'll take that as your agreement. From now on you'll be called Cui Ling." Liang Tan was in a good mood. After roasting the front of the clothes, he continued roasting them with his back to the fire.
Cui Ling frowned when he saw her carelessly showing him her back: "Hasn't anyone taught you not to show your back?"
"No, I don't have much survival ability." Liang Tan said confidently.
Cui Ling sneered at her words, full of disdain. Liang Tan pretended not to hear and continued to warm her wet back.
The fire was crackling, and Cui Ling began to feel sleepy as he was roasting himself. He glanced at the inferior orc next to him who posed no threat at all, and finally allowed himself to fall asleep.
When he woke up again, the rain outside had stopped. The moisture was blocked by the leaves that blocked the sky and the sun, and could not be dispersed at all. Even the air was wet. The fire had been completely extinguished at some point, leaving only a pile of black ashes. Liang Tan sat at the entrance of the cave and watched the dew. When he heard the movement behind him, he quickly turned around and said, "Are you awake?"
Cui Ling quietly looked at this inferior orc who had appeared and stayed in the cave rashly, and did not speak for a long time. The effect of the leaves he had taken in the morning had worn off, and his body was aching again, but because of the treatment, he felt less painful than before.
"Are you hungry?" Liang Tan asked again.
Cui Ling stared at her for a moment and asked, "Why do you stay?"
"Didn't you ask me to stay?" Liang Tan pretended to be stupid.
Cui Ling was still in wolf form. Hearing this, he huffed and the breath from his mouth stirred up the dust on the ground: "Don't lie."
"...Okay, I admit that I came here on purpose." Liang Tan looked desperate, but still walked up to him.
Cui Ling was stunned by her unguarded look and soon frowned again.
"I am an inferior orc with no home." Liang Tan looked into his eyes and said.
Cui Ling paused.
Homeless orcs are those orcs who have no tribe, no parents, and no companions, and who always wander alone. They are usually those orcs who have been expelled from the tribe, just like Cui Ling now.
"When I passed this forest yesterday, I overheard two wolf cubs mentioning you. They said if you weren't injured, you might be stronger than the chief, so I came here," Liang Tan said, spreading his hands. "You can see that I don't have much survival ability. If I wander alone, I will definitely die, so I want to find a partner."
"When you saw me yesterday, you were so scared that you turned around and ran away." Cui Ling didn't quite believe what she said.
Liang Tan blinked his eyes and said, "If it were you, and you suddenly saw an orc that was ten times bigger than you, wouldn't you be scared and run away?"
"No." Cui Ling said decisively.
Liang Tan: "...You are awesome, okay?"
Liang Tan was speechless for a while because Cui Ling did not play by the rules. After reorganizing his words, he continued, "I thought you were already injured and didn't have the strength to negotiate with me. But when I entered the cave, I saw a fierce look in your eyes. I was so scared that I wanted to run away."
This reason is barely acceptable.
Seeing Cui Ling didn't say anything, Liang Tan breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "So you want to be my partner? We'll hunt and live together in the future. Although I can't transform and I don't have the ability to hunt, I'm familiar with some herbs. I can help you heal your wounds, be your backup, and stay by your side to relieve your boredom."
In the orc world, it is easy to find an orc who is strong and capable of hunting, but it is difficult to find someone who knows herbs and can cure diseases. Cui Ling had no reason to refuse.
But the next second—
"I don't need a partner." Cui Ling said coldly.
Liang Tan's smile froze at the corners of his lips. After a while, he said awkwardly, "Don't be so hasty to refuse. Think about it again."
"No need." Cui Ling still refused.
Liang Tan suddenly got angry: "If you go hunting like this, the wound will easily break the line, and you might die after that."
"No." Cui Ling was sure.
Liang Tan sneered: "Are you so sure that you won't collapse?"
"I won't go hunting," Cui Ling said, looking at him with her dark green eyes, "If I'm hungry, I can just eat you."
Liang Tan: “…”
"I have never tasted the taste of inferior orcs." He said and licked his white fangs.
...Although he knew that there were essential differences between orcs and wild beasts, it was hard for Liang Tan not to be afraid when he said this with a huge wolf head.
She became attentive in an instant: "There should be a lot of wild fruits here, why don't I pick some?"
Cui Ling sneered and continued to lie down.
Seeing that he did not refuse, Liang Tan immediately stood up and walked out.
"Don't go too far, be careful of wild beasts." Cui Ling's warning suddenly sounded behind him.
Liang Tan was immediately moved and turned around.
Cui Ling said the second sentence quietly.
Liang Tan: “…” He is a wild beast, and you are a beast, a bastard.
She continued to walk out with a blank expression, pretending that the person who had just been moved was not herself.
Cui Ling watched her back gradually go away, and suddenly felt unhappy. He subconsciously wanted to follow her like he did yesterday, but as soon as he moved, he felt the wound pulling, and immediately lay down again with a gloomy face.
Forget it, just go, his life is more important. Cui Ling closed his eyes, but inadvertently revealed his fangs.
Liang Tan walked for a long time this time and did not show up until dark. Cui Ling remained in the same position, lying on the ground and refusing to move.
He had been in the cave for four days without realizing it. During these four days, he had only struggled to drink rainwater and gnawed on some wild vegetables and rocks beside the cave. He was now extremely hungry, with his fur sticking tightly to his spine and his skinny body looking very different from before.
