After her luck was taken away, she fell in love with the woman who traveled through time.

"Then you take his skin!" Cui Ling got angry.

Liang Tan blinked slowly, then realized something was wrong: "Can't I... take it?"

"Giving skins to each other by orcs means making a marriage contract." Cui Ling was angry.

Liang Tan: “…”

Seeing Liang Tan speechless, Cui Ling became even angrier: "How come you don't know anything?"

"Should I know?" Liang Tan felt wronged. This article only has 20,000 to 30,000 words, and it is a short story that cannot be shorter. The whole story is about how the hero struggles on the brink of life and death, and there is no mention of the rules of the orc world.

Seeing that she still dared to talk back, Cui Ling immediately decided to teach her a lesson. After lying down again, he acted as if it had nothing to do with him: "You deserve to be unlucky if you don't know. I won't care about you."

"It's up to you whether you want to intervene or not." Liang Tan also got angry.

Cui Ling was displeased: "As long as the orcs accept the skin, it is equivalent to a marriage contract. Unless both parties regret it at the same time, they must become partners."

After saying that, he sneered, "What he gave you turned out to be a tiger skin. It seems that he really likes you. I'm afraid he won't agree to cancel the engagement. As long as he doesn't cancel it, it's useless for you to regret it. Just wait to marry him."

Liang Tan's brows furrowed even deeper: "Why are you so unreasonable?"

"You accepted someone's things and then regretted it. Who is being unreasonable?" Cui Ling sneered.

"I've already said it..." Liang Tan said halfway, but when he met his dark green eyes, he gave up in anger and said, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you."

"Then wait till you marry that leopard." Cui Ling continued to be mean. He was so angry that he didn't know how to vent it, so he could only attack with words.

Liang Tan pretended not to hear and thought about how to tell A Zhuang about this.

...According to Cui Ling, A Zhuang would definitely not agree. When Liang Tan was having a headache, she looked up and saw the big wolf not far away. After a moment of silence, she vaguely had an idea.

As the night deepened, the cold air once again poured into the cave. Cui Ling adjusted his posture, cleared the relatively soft ground, and waited for her to come and sleep.

However, after waiting for a long time, I only heard rustling sounds behind me, but I didn't see her coming.

Cui Ling frowned and turned around. When he saw the scene in front of him, he immediately got angry: "What are you doing!"

"Go to sleep." Liang Tan lay on his straw bed, wrapped in soft and thick tiger skin, and sighed contentedly.

Cui Ling rubbed his body and stood up: "Why do you want to use his tiger skin?"

"We're getting married soon, why do we have to be so clear about it?" Liang Tan was content.

Cui Ling suddenly became even more angry, and turned into a human form, grabbed the tiger skin and threw it. Liang Tan was caught off guard and was thrown out of the tiger skin onto the straw bed. The little warmth he had accumulated with great difficulty was gone in an instant.

Liang Tan was not angry, but just looked at him leisurely: "Is there anything wrong?"

"What do you mean when you say you're getting married?" Cui Ling gritted her teeth.

He seemed to have not yet come out of his wolf form, and his facial features moved around when he was angry, but because he was so handsome, he didn't look ugly even with such a distorted expression.

Liang Tan raised his head and met his green eyes: "If he doesn't agree to cancel the engagement, then he and I will get married...ah, don't you know what marriage means? It's what you call becoming a partner..."

"I didn't ask you that!" Cui Ling interrupted angrily, "Liang Tan, you haven't even explained it to him clearly yet, but you know he won't break off the engagement?"

"You've already said that he likes me very much, how could he agree to cancel the engagement?" Liang Tan said with a sigh, "Forget it, I won't lose out anyway, let's just be partners. This way I'll have someone to back me up, Zhuang will have a partner, and you won't have to be bothered by me anymore, and everyone will be satisfied."

"you!"

Liang Tan looked at Cui Ling who was so angry that she couldn't speak, and asked innocently, "What's wrong with me?"

Cui Ling looked at her with a dark face. Liang Tan held his expression tight, trying not to reveal his expectations.

After a long while, he threw the leather to her expressionlessly: "Yes, everyone is satisfied."

Liang Tan's heart skipped a beat. Before he could say anything else, Cui Ling had already returned to his wolf form and was lying down in his original position.

...played off.

She was just thinking that Cui Ling really disliked A Zhuang, and that if she used some provocation, she might be able to get him to help cancel the engagement... Who knew that this bastard was so timid that he wanted to cut off ties with her after just a few words.

No, maybe he had wanted to cut off ties with her for a long time, but had never succeeded. This time he finally had the chance. Although he didn't like A Zhuang, in order to get rid of her, he would rather let A Zhuang get what he wanted.

Simply put, in order to get rid of the first type of enemy, we would let the second type of enemy have a taste of the sweetness.

What a...dog. Liang Tan was so angry at his own imagination that he couldn't sleep.

Also unable to sleep was the dirty big bad wolf sitting beside the fire.

Whenever he thought that Liang Tan was now covered with the betrothal gift prepared by other orcs, he wanted to throw her out along with her skin. He also wanted to pull her over and ask her if she would be willing to marry anyone as long as he could give her protection.

...No, the more I think about it, the angrier I get.

The man and the wolf had different thoughts and neither of them slept well that night.

The next morning, Liang Tan rubbed his eyes, went outside the cave to get some water for a simple wash, and then began to fold the tiger skin carefully.

Cui Ling coldly watched her fold the torn tiger skin neatly with great care. He felt annoyed again, but he did not vent it with words like he did yesterday.

The man and the wolf were competing with each other, and both ignored each other as if it were air. So when Cui Ling saw Liang Tan going out with the tiger skin, he just gripped the ground with his claws, but did not ask her where she was going or whether she was not planning to come back.

Liang Tan walked out while pricked up his ears to listen for any movement behind him, but after walking for a long time, there was no sound of footsteps behind him.

She immediately sneered: "I will settle the score with you after I solve this matter."

After saying that, he went to the place where he met A Zhuang yesterday, put down the tiger skin and kept calling his name.

A Zhuang came over quickly and when he saw her, he excitedly asked, "Are you looking for me?"

"...Yes," Liang Tan smiled awkwardly.

Just as A Zhuang was about to say something, he noticed the tiger skin on the stone behind her. After a pause, he said in confusion: "You are..."

"I'm sorry, Zhuang," Liang Tan said with a guilty look on his face, "I didn't know giving leather meant courtship, I thought it was just a gift between friends."

A trace of confusion flashed in A Zhuang's eyes, and his throat suddenly tightened after a long time: "What do you mean?"

"Sorry, I'll return the leather to you, but can you... just pretend that I didn't accept it yesterday?" Liang Tan asked cautiously.

"No!" A Zhuang's face flushed immediately, "Why do you have to do this? Did I do something wrong?"

"No, no, you're right. I'm used to wandering alone and don't understand the rules of orcs, so I accepted the skin rashly." Liang Tan explained quickly.

A Zhuang was still angry: "Then how did you know today?"

"A friend told me," Liang Tan said. Seeing that he looked aggrieved, he had to soften his tone. "Zhuang, I'm telling you the truth. I'm an inferior orc. I can't even transform. I'm not worthy of you."

"I have known for a long time that you are an inferior orc, and I also know that you are not from the tiger tribe, so I gave you tiger skin instead of other furs. If you broke off the engagement because of this, there is actually no need. I really don't despise you." A Zhuang said hurriedly.

Liang Tan didn't expect that he still disagreed after talking so much, and couldn't help but sigh: "We have only met a few times, what do you like about me?"

"I just think you're very interesting." A Zhuang said seriously.

Liang Tan had a headache: "If you think I'm interesting, you can be friends with me. There's no need for us to be together."

A Zhuang pursed his lips and said, "No, I just want to be your partner."

"A Zhuang..."

"Liang Tan, please promise me that I will treat you well. I will hunt a lot of prey for you and peel off a lot of furs to keep you warm. The house I built is also very big. It is made of stone and mud. There are no holes at all. It is really great." A Zhuang looked eager.

Liang Tan was speechless for a while. Just when he didn't know how to refuse, a gloomy voice suddenly came from behind him: "She won't be your partner."

Liang Tan's eyes lit up, and he and A Zhuang looked over at the same time. Cui Ling jumped and stood between them.

Liang Tan looked at the dirty white wolf and asked in a reserved manner, "Why are you here?"

Cui Ling ignored her and looked directly at A Zhuang: "She won't agree to your request. Take the skin away."

"Who are you?" A Zhuang immediately looked alert.

A hint of arrogance flashed across Cui Ling's wolf face: "I am her husband."

Liang Tan was stunned.

"Impossible!" A Zhuang denied immediately, "I have never smelled the scent of other orcs on her."

"That's because I'm recovering from my injuries and can't take a shower, so my body odor is covered by the stench. Do you dare to say that she doesn't have a stinky smell?" Cui Ling raised his wolf head.

Liang Tan: “…” So you know you stink.

A Zhuang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly didn't know how to refute.

Liang Tan opened his eyes wide in shock: "So I really stink?!"

"I thought you were unhygienic." A Zhuang explained seriously.

Liang Tan: “…” Damn, she wipes her body every day!

"She already has a partner, and you still gave her the leather. You were the one who broke the rules first. Even if we want to cancel the engagement, you have no choice but to agree." Cui Ling sneered and brought the topic back to the right track.

After being stunned for a moment, A Zhuang suddenly realized: "No, she never mentioned that she had a partner. You must have lied to me."

"You didn't mention your partner, but you didn't mention me?" Cui Ling said disdainfully.

A Zhuang: “Never mentioned it.”

Cui Ling: “…”

Liang Tan sensed Cui Ling's death gaze, coughed, and took the initiative to speak: "A Zhuang, think about it, as an inferior orc, I can't eat much, but I exchanged a lot of meat with you, where did all the meat go?"

A Zhuang was stunned: "He... ate it?"

Liang Tan nodded.

Ah Zhuang collapsed and held his head: "I still don't believe it, you must be lying to me!"

"Then how can we prove it?" Liang Tan said helplessly. He hugged the wolf head and kissed it. "Is that so?"

Cui Ling was stunned. Although his face remained expressionless, his wolf tail exploded in an instant.

A Zhuang's eyes turned red and he looked like he could cry at any time.

Liang Tan hurriedly coaxed him: "Don't be sad, even if we can't be partners, we can still be friends. If you want to chat or take a walk with me in the future, I will come anytime, and I can also pick fruits for you to eat."

"I don't agree." The big white wolf with a blasted tail turned black in the face.

Liang Tan ignored him and patted A Zhuang on the back gently: "I'm sorry, A Zhuang, it's all my fault. I will work hard to learn the rules of the orc world in the future and will never make such a mistake again."

"It's okay, I was just daydreaming," A Zhuang wiped his eyes, his mood gradually getting better, "You said you didn't know that accepting the leather meant agreeing to a marriage proposal, but you already have a partner, does that mean he didn't give you the leather because you didn't know the rules?"

Cui Ling was immediately displeased: "When my injury heals, I will fight her with a tiger that is ten times stronger than yours."

"I really didn't send it to you," A Zhuang was sad, but he also felt a little sympathy for Liang Tan, "You are so pitiful."

Cui Ling bared his teeth immediately, and Liang Tan slapped the wolf on the head, knocking his teeth back.

"It's okay. Love is more satisfying than drinking water. As long as I can be with him, I don't mind not having enough food." Liang Tan said hypocritically.

Cui Ling didn't quite understand what he said, but he found it very pleasant to hear.

After hearing this, A Zhuang completely gave up.

It was just a temporary affection, and the feelings were not too deep. After a brief sadness, A Zhuang began to worry about Liang Tan: "You and he are already a couple, why don't you find a place to settle down? How can you have children if you wander around all day like this?"

Cui Ling suddenly felt offended. Just as she was about to say it was none of her business, Liang Tan eagerly held A Zhuang's hand and said, "So I still have to ask for your help! Is your tribe still recruiting people?"

Cui Ling: “?”

A Zhuang: “…”

They were still involved in a bloody love triangle one second, and the next they started discussing joining the tribe. A Zhuang confusely agreed to help ask the tribe leader, and Liang Tan immediately gave him two fruits to express his gratitude.

After sending the people away, the wolf and the man walked towards the cave. No one spoke, and the only sound on the small path in the forest was the rustling sound of footsteps.

After a long while, Cui Ling finally lost his temper and said, "Aren't you going to be his partner?"

"Didn't you say you wouldn't care about me?" Liang Tan spoke almost at the same time.

Then there was another period of tacit silence.

After a while, Liang Tan took the initiative to make peace: "I'm hungry, what do you want to eat today?"

"Is there anything else besides meat?" Cui Ling asked back, still resentful about the two fruits she had just given to A Zhuang.

Liang Tan sighed: "I didn't expect you to be so stingy that you can't even bear to give up a piece of fruit."

Cui Ling was too lazy to talk to her.

The two returned to the cave, and Cui Ling started to light a fire to grill the meat. Liang Tan sat by the fire and watched him busying himself. After a long while, he suddenly sighed: "Cui Ling, you are really capable."

Cui Ling's claws that were hooked on the meat paused, and the wolf's face became a little hot from the fire.

"That's right. You can hunt and barbecue. You are really amazing." Liang Tan continued to praise.

The wolf's face seemed to get even hotter.

"It's just that he has a bad temper." Liang Tan concluded.

Cui Ling was speechless: "You have a good temper?"

"I used to have a good temper, but I don't know why it became bad after I met you," Liang Tan said, and thought seriously for a while, "Could it be that I was influenced by you?"

Cui Ling felt that there must be something wrong with him, otherwise why would she suddenly become so happy when she heard her say that she was influenced by him?

After the meat was roasted, he tore the lean part into small pieces and handed them to Liang Tan, while he directly bit into the large piece of meat in front of him. The man and the wolf ate in silence, and only started to discuss business after all the food was eaten.
