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

"Although we are not strong, we have rich hunting experience. If we go together, we can keep the tiger skin intact as much as possible," said A Zhuang, who couldn't help laughing. "Look at what I said, it seems that we can find tigers as long as we look for them. Now that the weather is getting colder, we might return empty-handed."

Cui Ling's eyes moved slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said awkwardly: "Thank you."

When A Zhuang saw that he agreed, his eyes lit up immediately, and he turned around and ran to the tribe: "Wait, I'll go call someone."

Cui Ling reminded loudly upon seeing this: "Don't tell Liang Tan yet!" As A Zhuang said, whether or not to find the tiger depends entirely on luck. Before catching it, he didn't want Liang Tan to be happy for nothing.

"I know, don't worry!" A Zhuang took advantage of his leopard and soon disappeared from sight.

Cui Ling was in an inexplicably good mood, and even A Zhuang, whom she had always regarded as her love rival, began to look at her more favorably.

So when A Zhuang came back, he could clearly feel the change in Cui Ling's attitude towards him. He was a little puzzled, but he didn't think much about it and just focused on finding the tiger.

The group wandered in the mountains and forests for a day, shot a few pheasants and two snakes, but still did not see any trace of the tiger.

On the other side of the tribe, Liang Tan was demonstrating in front of a group of orcs how to cook meat to make it taste better.

In fact, it is very simple, just blanching, but because the orcs have never done this before, they find it fresh and interesting, especially after tasting the meat she cooked, they praised her even more.

"Liang Tan, you are amazing. Just cook it one more time and the fishy taste will be gone. The soup will taste much better too." An orc praised.

Liang Tan chuckled: "After the blood foam is boiled out, the taste will naturally be better."

"You are so smart." The other orcs also praised.

Liang Tan, who had never cooked in the real world and whose only experience came from the world of novels, felt a little embarrassed when they praised her so much. After being humble several times, she began to look out the window from time to time, as if waiting for the White Wolf Prince to pull her out of the ocean of praise.

An orc saw her looking outside frequently and kindly reminded her, "They are out hunting and probably won't be back until dark."

Liang Tan paused and said, "Didn't you just go out for a hunt a few days ago? Why are you going hunting again today?"

Winter has not yet arrived. Although the beastmen are good at preserving food, they cannot preserve it for as long as a refrigerator, so they will not hunt frequently during this period. They will only store food for the winter after the first snow. So, given that they just finished hunting two days ago, they should not go out today.

"They are probably bored. You know, some orcs just like to go out and wander around," a petite sheep said with a smile. "Yeah, it will take a long time for them to come back. Why don't you teach us something else? Don't just teach us how to cook meat. Teach us how to cook vegetables, too."

"That's right, please teach me how to cook vegetables. My little orcs are very picky!" Another orc quickly agreed, and everyone else looked over.

This was the first time that Liang Tan was placed with high hopes since she came into this world. Seeing that Cui Ling had not returned yet, she readily agreed and taught them how to stir-fry vegetables with animal fats.

"For example, lard will make dishes very fragrant when used for cooking." As she spoke, she cut off a small piece of fat, stir-fried it in the pot for a few times, added the vegetables after the oil came out, and asked for some coarse salt to dissolve and pour on top.

After a simple stir-fry, I served it and waited for them to taste it with anticipation.

The orcs were used to boiling vegetables, and this was the first time they saw vegetables being cooked with fat. They were all hesitant for a moment, but finally a naughty little orc took the lead and picked up a vegetable with his claws and stuffed it into his mouth. He immediately exhaled and shouted that it was hot and praised it for being delicious.

The little orc's behavior caused a burst of laughter. Everyone suddenly became bolder and took turns tasting this plate of strange vegetables. Then they were shocked by its deliciousness and became speechless.

Seeing this, Liang Tan's vanity reached its peak. After accepting everyone's belated praise, she found an excuse to slip away. When she was about to reach the door of her house, she suddenly thought of something, so she quickly asked the neighbor who was playing with the child to come home.

Cui Ling, A Zhuang and others searched around outside but still couldn't find any trace of the tiger, so they could only return with the prey.

As soon as they arrived at the tribe, someone greeted them enthusiastically——

To be more precise, these greetings were all directed at Cui Ling.

The group of people who just returned were very confused. Finally, a little orc answered their questions: "Liang Tan made stewed meat and stir-fried vegetables for us today. They tasted very good!"

"What are stir-fried vegetables?" A Zhuang wondered.

The little beastman looked proud: "You haven't eaten it before? Cui Ling must have eaten it!"

So A Zhuang and the others all looked at Cui Ling. Cui Ling said with a wooden face: "Yes, I have eaten it."

"What's that smell?" A Zhuang was curious.

"...It tastes delicious." After saying that, Cui Ling strode towards home without giving A Zhuang a chance to ask more questions.

It was completely dark, most of the orcs had fallen asleep, and the tribe was very quiet. Cui Ling walked faster and faster, and his breathing gradually became heavier. When he thought about how he had lived with Liang Tan for so long, and she had never cooked a meal for him, but cooked for others when he was out, his pace became faster.

Finally, he felt that his two feet were too slow, so he simply transformed and ran home on four paws.

Bang—the door was forced open by his huge body. Just as the accusatory words came to his lips, he saw that in the house with a bonfire, Liang Tan had just served a plate of green vegetables and placed it on the eating stone. The house was filled with the smell of food.

The moment their eyes met, she raised her lips and smiled: "You're back, come and try the food I cooked."

Seeing her smiling face, Cui Ling's Adam's apple moved, and after a while he turned back into human form as if nothing had happened. After closing the door, he sat down opposite her: "Why are you cooking suddenly?"

"It's just a sudden idea. Try it and see if it's delicious." Liang Tan looked expectant.

Cui Ling tasted the meat and vegetables in front of him.

The food is common, but the taste is subtly different.

It's delicious. There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, but he still wanted to make trouble: "Who asked you to cook for them?"

Liang Tan knew that he was going to make trouble with him, so he asked someone to help him light a fire and made him a new one.

Hearing that he was causing trouble, Liang Tan explained calmly: "If I don't let them taste it first, how can I be sure it will taste good?" The implication was that he wanted to make something delicious for him, so he used others to practice in advance.

Cui Ling felt that he was different from others in her words, and the awkwardness in his heart disappeared immediately. Liang Tan pushed the meat to him with a smile, and just when he was about to ask him to eat more, Cui Ling saw her red fingers with his sharp eyes, and frowned again: "What happened?"

"I accidentally did it when I first started cooking." Liang Tan answered honestly. The tableware in the orc world is made by themselves, rough and heavy. When she first used it, she would get burned if she wasn't careful. However, all the other marks disappeared, only this one remained.

Cui Ling's face suddenly darkened: "Don't do it again."

Liang Tan laughed: "It's just a burn, it's not that serious."

"Then you are not allowed to do it again." Cui Ling said, and seeing that she didn't take it seriously, he wanted to warn her a few more times, but the atmosphere at the moment was too good, and he couldn't bear to ruin it.

After struggling for a long time, he finally gave up the warning.

Silent all night.

Liang Tan slept until noon the next day. When she woke up, she saw the roasted meat on the stone where they had been eating, but Cui Ling was nowhere to be seen. She was moved and went out to ask someone. It turned out that Cui Ling had gone out hunting.

"There is so much food at home, why does he always run outside?" Liang Tan was very helpless.

The other orcs who did not participate in the hunt were also very puzzled, but they did not have the interest to ask questions, so after a moment of confusion, they forgot about the matter and once again asked Liang Tan to teach them how to cook.

Cui Ling was not around, Liang Tan had nothing to do, so he simply opened a class in the open space of the tribe. The orcs in the tribe heard the noise and rushed over. Dozens of them gathered together, and their eagerness to learn made Liang Tan laugh: "Since everyone is here, shall we start now?"

"Don't worry." The deer tribe sister who was on good terms with her quickly glanced at her companions next to her. Several orcs immediately pulled Liang Tan away from the campfire. After making sure she was far enough away from the fire, they spoke, "It's all right now."

Liang Tan: “?”

"Cui Ling said that if we hurt you again, he will take you away from the tribe." The deer tribe sister said seriously.

The corners of Liang Tan's mouth twitched: "It's not that serious, I was just careless yesterday..."

"For the sake of everyone's happiness, you should just stay here and give instructions, and we'll take care of the rest." After saying that, my sister swiftly put the pot on the fire.

Looking at her skillful movements, Liang Tan decisively gave up struggling and began pure oral teaching.

The cooking teaching game lasted for several hours. By the end, everyone was full and Cui Ling and the others had returned from hunting. However, unlike yesterday when they returned with a full load, they only hunted two rabbits today.

"Five or six orcs only killed two rabbits. Is that enough for you to eat on the road?" Liang Tan sneered mercilessly.

Cui Ling glanced at her and ignored her.

Liang Tan wanted to make a few more laughs, but he accidentally saw two shallow bloodstains on his wrists, and suddenly felt distressed: "There's still a lot of food to eat, so why don't you just stop messing around?"

"I won't bother with that for another two days." Cui Ling thought of the tiger that had escaped, and a trace of depression flashed across his face.

Liang Tan saw that he was in a bad mood and immediately reached out and rubbed his head.

The next morning, Cui Ling went out again as expected. Liang Tan sighed, as if she had long been accustomed to it. She did some miscellaneous things to pass the time while patiently waiting for Cui Ling. She waited until the evening, then secretly prepared dinner, wanting to wait for him to come back and eat together. However, she did not see him until midnight.

Not only did he not see him, he also did not see A Zhuang. Liang Tan walked around anxiously, and finally could not help but ran outside the tribe to wait.

On the other side, with Cui Ling's roar, the huge beast finally fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood foam and died. Everyone cheered, gathered together and quickly peeled off the tiger skin, then split the rest and each person carried a piece on his back.

Cui Ling squatted by the stream and carefully washed the tiger skin, then folded it and picked it up.

"This tiger skin is so complete. Cui Ling, you can give it to Liang Tan. Liang Tan will definitely like it very much," A Zhuang said happily. "This skin is really great. It's much better than the one I have at home."

"I don't know how many generations your family has had the leather handed down, and the hair has become much bald. Of course, it is not as good as this one. If Liang Tan received this leather, he would be so happy."

There was still blood on Cui Ling's face. Hearing this, he just responded lightly, his fingers unconsciously picking up the wet tiger skin.

"Let's go back quickly. Our families must be worried." An orc urged.

The others immediately laughed at him for being henpecked. The orc did not refute, but just smiled embarrassedly: "You guys who don't have a partner don't understand the feeling of being missed. Cui Ling must understand it. Have you been out for so long that Liang Tan is so worried that he can't eat?"

Everyone immediately looked at Cui Ling.

The image of Liang Tan eating delicious food, drinking spicy food and sleeping well emerged in Cui Ling’s mind. After a moment of silence, he nodded.

"See, those of us with partners are all the same." The orc said with a happy look on his face, which immediately caused the other orcs to scream with envy.

Cui Ling didn't scream, but she was still a little envious.

A group of young orcs were walking back while chatting. When they were almost at the tribe, Cui Ling suddenly stopped. Everyone was stunned and just as they were about to ask what was going on, they heard Liang Tan's voice -

"Why did you come back just now? I was so scared, I thought something happened..." Liang Tan complained as he walked towards them. When he was almost in front of them, he was stunned. He rushed over in fear and grabbed Cui Ling's arm. "Why are you covered in so much blood? Are you injured?!"

Cui Ling stared at her in a daze until he heard a teasing whistle in his ear. He suddenly came back to his senses, cleared his throat and looked at the other orcs: "That's what it's like to have a partner. It's easy to be missed."

Liang Tan: “?”

The beastmen were envious and left tactfully. Cui Ling raised the corners of his lips slightly, and then explained to Liang Tan: "I'm not injured."

"...I can see that." What could go wrong when they can show their affection so confidently?

Liang Tan paused, his eyes falling on the wet tiger skin in his arms.

"We killed a tiger today," Cui Ling explained.

Liang Tan exclaimed: "How amazing!"

"It's mainly because I'm good," Cui Ling emphasized.

Liang Tan glanced at him: "I know, I am praising you."

Cui Ling was satisfied then. Seeing her staring at the tiger skin curiously, his ears felt slightly warm.

"How do we divide this piece of leather? Is it going to be confiscated again?" Liang Tan was very envious.

Cui Ling teased her deliberately: "What will you do if it is not confiscated?"

"Then I won't have to squeeze with you at night." Liang Tan said without thinking.

Cui Ling: “…”

"So it will be confiscated?" Liang Tan asked.

Cui Ling: “…Yes.”

"Oh, okay then." Liang Tan felt a little disappointed.

Cui Ling had no expression on his face and walked home holding the tiger skin.

Liang Tan followed up unwillingly: "Can we confiscate it later? Let me use it for two days first. I haven't felt what it's like to sleep with a blanket for a long time. Every time I curl up under your belly, I dare not turn over and move around."

"Is my stomach upset?" Cui Ling asked unhappily.

"Of course it's good. It's furry and has its own body temperature, but this one is definitely better." Liang Tan said, reaching out and pinching the still damp tiger skin.

Cui Ling ruthlessly knocked her hand away.

Liang Tan: "...Not even a touch?"
