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

"Although I asked A Zhuang to go back to the tribe to inquire about the situation first, I still want to hear your opinion. Do you want to live in A Zhuang's tribe?" Liang Tan asked seriously.

Cui Ling refused to look at her: "If I say I don't want to, you won't go?"

"No." Liang Tan answered straightforwardly.

Cui Ling paused, then looked up at her: "Why?"

"Why?" Liang Tan was puzzled. "If you don't go, why should I go?"

This answer was unexpectedly simple, but Cui Ling felt it was unreal, so he asked further: "Don't you want a stable life? If you join the tribe, you will have everything you want. It is more suitable than following me."

"...Are you going to drive me away now?" Liang Tan asked suspiciously.

"Of course not!" Cui Ling denied immediately.

Liang Tan finally relaxed and smiled, "That's it, since you've changed your mind and don't want to chase me away, can't I change my reasons for staying with you?"

Cui Ling frowned: "What's the reason?"

This wolf looks cool and aloof, but in fact he is quite stupid sometimes. Liang Tan sighed and explained directly: "I stayed here to survive before, but now it's for you, do you understand?"

"What's the difference?" Cui Ling obviously didn't understand.

Liang Tan took a deep breath and said, "The difference is that I could follow anyone before, but now I can only follow you. Even if you become disabled in the future, I will not leave you. Do you understand?"

Cui Ling understood this time. The wolf's face was as hot as if it was roasted by fire. Once again, she was thankful that the fur was covering it so that she wouldn't notice anything unusual.

Liang Tan didn't know what kind of struggle he was going through, so he just continued to ask what he wanted to know: "So are you sure you don't want to go to Zhuang's tribe?"

"Go." Cui Ling said.

He knew very well that the cave was not a place to live for long. Winter was approaching, and once it snowed, he might not be able to survive even if he had a thick coat of hair, let alone her who couldn't even transform.

They really should move somewhere else.

Liang Tan thought he was determined to stick to it, but he didn't expect him to change his mind suddenly. He was immediately surprised: "Really?"

"Really." Cui Ling inexplicably didn't dare to look her in the eye, "Only if the tribe is willing to accept us."

His alien white fur might be a hindrance.

Liang Tan didn't think about his fur, and just nodded when she heard it. Cui Ling saw her nod and wanted to say that if they let you stay alone, you should agree, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly couldn't say it.

He couldn't bear it.

The next morning, A Zhuang came and frowned when he saw the cave where the two lived: "The environment here is too bad."

"It's okay. It can shelter us from the wind and rain." They have lived here for a long time and they have developed feelings for the cave. Liang Tan doesn't like the way he disdains the cave.

A Zhuang looked at her sympathetically and said, "Our clan leader said he needs to meet you first before deciding whether to let you join."

"Okay, let's go now." Liang Tan hurriedly looked at Cui Ling, fearing that he would not agree.

Fortunately, Cui Ling was a man of propriety and stood up immediately after hearing the words.

The three of them walked out together, and because they had to accommodate Liang Tan, they walked much more slowly.

After walking for about two hours, Liang Tan finally walked out of the forest and came to a flat area with a wide view. She looked at the scenery in front of her and stretched herself with a relaxed mind and body.

"Our tribe is just ahead." A Zhuang pointed to the east.

Liang Tan and Cui Ling looked over at the same time and saw several rough low houses huddled together in the distance. There were two circles of thorny grass around the houses, which seemed to be used to resist wild beasts.

It was afternoon, and the orcs gathered together to chat after dinner. Several little orcs were playing and fighting, and from time to time they would transform back to their original form and roll on the ground. These orcs, like A Zhuang, were all wearing clothes made of animal skins. Although it was late autumn, they were still barefoot.

Liang Tan had never seen other tribes, so he didn't know whether the tribe in front of him was good or bad. However, Cui Ling could tell at a glance that this tribe was very poor. They might even have problems with food. If they stayed here, their lives might not be better than when they were in the cave.

If it really doesn't work, just wait until his wounds get better, kill a few more prey, and repair the cave. Maybe it will be better than the house here. Cui Ling just finished thinking, and turned his head to see Liang Tan staring at the rolling beastmen with a smile.

His heart moved: "Do you like it here?"

"Yeah, I like it." Liang Tan hadn't seen so many living people for a long time. Although these people were weird and often had long ears or tails, humans are social animals and their existence itself made her happy.

Cui Ling was silent for a moment: "If you like it, stay."

"You talk as if we can stay if we want. We have to ask the clan leader for his opinion first." Liang Tan glanced at him.

Cui Ling sneered: "He will definitely let us stay."

Before coming here, he was worried that the people here would treat him as an alien. Now it seems that they have no right to treat him as an alien at all.

The entire tribe would be happy to have the help of a strong orc like him before winter comes.

Sure enough, after meeting Cui Ling, the tribe leader agreed to let them stay without saying a word, and even convened a tribal meeting to discuss what to do after they stayed.

Cui Ling has never liked crowds since he was a child, and he especially doesn't like being the focus of everyone's attention, so he didn't want to attend the meeting. In the end, he was dragged away by Liang Tanqiang and sat in the corner with a stern face.

Compared to his incompatibility, Liang Tan quickly got along well with the others and even pinched the little orc's furry ears with a curious look on his face.

Cui Ling looked at her who was like a fish in water, with a very stinky face.

"When your injury is healed, you must give Liang Tan a good skin." A Zhuang appeared beside him without knowing when.

Cui Ling snorted and was too lazy to talk to him.

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed across A Zhuang's face: "She is so good to you, you can't just treat her perfunctorily just because she doesn't understand these rules."

"You don't have to meddle in what happens between her and me." Cui Ling gave him a warning look.

A Zhuang was frightened by his eyes and took two steps back. He lost all his momentum in an instant: "She joined our tribe because of you. You should at least appreciate her kindness."

"return."

A Zhuang came back immediately.

Cui Ling glanced at him and asked, "What do you mean you joined for me?"

"Don't you realize that the composition of our tribe is very complicated? Because we are all orcs who are alone for various reasons. Anyway, Liang Tan wanted to come to our tribe because she heard that we don't discriminate against any orcs," said A Zhuang, looking at his dirty white hair, "Guess who she came for?"

Although inferior orcs were looked down upon in marriage, every tribe was happy to accept them because they were smart and flexible in other aspects and ate very little at each meal. She was obviously not the one who would be discriminated against.

Cui Ling's eyes moved slightly.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, A Zhuang was afraid that he had angered him again, so he ran away quickly.

Liang Tan was playing with a little rabbit orc when she suddenly felt a shadow looming over her. She subconsciously looked up and met a pair of dark green eyes.

"What's wrong?" She blinked.

"I have ears too." He said unhappily.

Liang Tan: “?”

"Wolves are possessive by nature, and your orcs are jealous." A sheep lady laughed.

Liang Tan smiled awkwardly and pushed Cui Ling away: "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm not crazy. I just want to remind you that it's time to go check out the house." Just now, the clan leader gave them an adobe house that had been lived in before.

When Liang Tan heard that they were going to see a house, he immediately became excited and quickly followed him away.

The location of this tribe was the residence of the Leopard Tribe before they grew strong. Later, as they grew stronger, they felt it was too troublesome to rebuild, so they simply abandoned it. The current number of tribesmen is far less than that of the original Leopard Tribe, so there are still many vacant houses here.

What the patriarch gave them was the largest one. Although it was so simple that it only had a window and a bed, it was at least a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

Liang Tan went in and took a look around, expressing his satisfaction.

Cui Ling frowned: "It's too old."

"Isn't it much better than our cave?" Liang Tan raised his eyebrows.

Cui Ling could not refute this point.

After Liang Tan finished speaking, he thought of something else: "Oh, by the way, the tribe leader said that this was the former residence of the Leopard Tribe. They won't come back again, right?"

"No, according to the orcs' rules, this place will no longer belong to them if they leave." Cui Ling replied.

"...You orcs have a lot of rules."

Cui Ling looked at her: "You are not an orc."

"Yes, yes, they are inferior orcs." Liang Tan clicked his tongue.

A smile flashed across Cui Ling's eyes, and then he turned into a human form.

Liang Tan was startled: "Why did you suddenly change your form?"

"The wound is almost healed, you can transform now." Cui Ling said and showed her his back.

Liang Tan went forward to check and found that the wounds had basically healed and many of the cotton threads on them had disappeared. Most of the ones still hanging on them were wounds that had not healed completely.

"Where is the thread?" Liang Tan frowned.

"Licked it off." Cui Ling said as a matter of course.

Liang Tan: “…” He should be given a collar.

No matter what, it's good that there's no inflammation. Liang Tan breathed a sigh of relief: "Wait a few days until it's a little warmer, then you can take a bath."

"I don't want to wash, it's troublesome." Cui Ling frowned.

Liang Tan glared at him: "You have to wash even if you don't want to. You stink so badly."

"Do you dislike me?" Cui Ling was displeased.

Liang Tan sneered: "Shouldn't I be disgusted? Being with you every day, even I feel stinky."

Cui Ling was about to retort again, but after meeting her gaze, he remembered what A Zhuang said, and the last words on his lips became: "Wash, wash, wash, okay?"

After saying that, he turned and left.

...This person is getting impatient. Liang Tan grumbled, and after tidying up the room, he found a bearskin blanket in the corner.

This was a pleasant surprise for Liang Tan. He quickly knocked off the dust and put it in the sun to dry.

So when Cui Ling came back that night, he saw her lying contentedly on the bed wrapped in bear skin.

"Where did it come from?!" He got furious in an instant.

Liang Tan glanced at him and said, "I found it in the house. Don't worry, it wasn't given by someone else."

Cui Ling was relieved, and then realized that he had made a big deal out of nothing, so he emphasized: "Don't go out and provoke those adult male orcs."

Liang Tan: “…”

When Cui Ling saw that she stopped talking, he immediately smiled victoriously.

But at night he could no longer laugh.

Because Liang Tan wouldn't let him go to bed.

Because Liang Tan not only didn't let him go to bed, he also didn't sleep with him.

"Don't you usually sleep on the floor? Why not today?!" Liang Tan held the blanket and confronted Cui Ling who was standing beside the bed.

Cui Ling was unhappy: "There was no bed in the cave, so I slept on the floor. Now there is a bed, why should I sleep on the floor?"

"It's just a bed. Why are you fighting with a woman like me for it?" Liang Tan was angry.

"I didn't compete with you." Cui Ling was still in human form, and frowned when he heard that.

Liang Tan didn't believe it: "Whether you want to grab it or not, I won't give it to you."

"I said I won't fight over it," Cui Ling couldn't stand it any longer, "Can't we sleep together?"

"I have a bearskin coat, why are we still huddled together?" Liang Tan was unhappy.

Cui Ling suddenly didn't know how to refute, and could only stand by the bed with a sullen face.

When he was silent and not angry, he still had the dignity he had when they first met. Liang Tan insisted on him for a long time, but he became inexplicably cowardly and finally had to get out of bed holding the bearskin blanket.

"Let me, let you sleep. I can sleep on the floor, right?" Liang Tan snorted weakly.

Cui Ling watched with a stern face as she wrapped herself in the bear skin, lay down on the ground and began to sleep. The words of persuasion were instantly choked in her throat, unable to be swallowed or spit out. She felt very annoyed and could only lie on the bed with a stern face.

However, although he was lying in bed, his heart was on the ground, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

After a long time, he finally couldn't help but climb up, moved himself and the bear skin to the bed, and then squeezed directly into the bear skin.

Liang Tan snorted softly in his sleep and climbed directly onto his neck.

Unlike when he was in wolf form and was separated by thick fur, the intimacy at this moment made him a little overwhelmed.

But it was quite comfortable. Cui Ling hugged her tentatively, feeling her breath.

"Stinky..." Liang Tan muttered.

Cui Ling's face turned dark instantly.

Perhaps it was because of the roof that the quality of sleep was exceptionally better. When Liang Tan woke up, the sun had already set and there was no trace of Cui Ling in the room.

Unlike the panic she felt when she found out he was missing last time, Liang Tan rubbed her eyes and woke up for a while before going out. As a result, as soon as she walked outside, she saw a few orc cubs running around happily. When they saw her, they immediately greeted her enthusiastically: "Liang Tan! Cui Ling is awesome, he brought a lot of meat!"

Liang Tan paused and guessed that they were the wild boars that had not been eaten in the cave.

This wolf cub is quite capable. Liang Tan raised his lips, played with the orc cubs for a while, and stood up after catching a glimpse of a figure.

As a result, Cui Ling simply ignored her and walked past her with an expressionless face.

"Stop." She grabbed his arm.

Cui Ling stared straight ahead, not even glancing at her.

Liang Tan sniffed and was shocked: "Did you take a shower?"

Hearing that she cared so much about this, Cui Ling's mood suddenly became bad: "Why do you care about me?"

"I don't care who you care about," Liang Tan rolled his eyes at him, leaned over him and sniffed, "It smells good, like soapberry, you are quite particular, let me see if the wound is affected."

Cui Ling was still angry at her for saying he stinks last night, but she said "Who cares about you?" and she leaned on him unconsciously, her breath making him feel itchy... Cui Ling couldn't bear it anymore and pulled her aside: "What are you smelling, you little bastard?"

The real dog cub next to him barked immediately.
