My Salted Fish Life in the Beast World

"Ming, can you tell me about the Winged Tiger Tribe?" Shi Erye looked at Ming, who was busy cleaning the house, and said, "I want to know more about your tribe. We will live together in the future, so we have to understand each other, right?"

Ming laid out the hay and animal skins. He helped Shi Erye and let her sit on the soft bed. "Ye, you stay here first. If you need anything, tell me. I'll live in the cave behind you."

Shi Erye was embarrassed. "I'd better live in the cave. I'm already very grateful that you can take me in! I can't bear to ask you to live in the cave after you occupy my nest." Shi Erye certainly wanted to live more comfortably. The houses here were very simple. Ming's house was probably the best, but if he lived there, it would be embarrassing to let him live in a place where he could store sundries.

"Ye couldn't bear it, so I went to live in the cave. Do you want to invite me to live in the house with you?" Ming knew Shi Erye's concerns and deliberately teased: "Ye, don't worry, I'm thick-skinned and strong. How can I let a female live in a cave? Our Winged Tiger Tribe is now the richest tribe in the entire southern region. The southern region is relatively warm, divided into warm season, rainy season, dry season and cold season. It's just the warm season now, and we're lucky. We didn't lose many orcs last cold season." Ming stood up proudly.

"The tribes outside are not so lucky, so Ye, stay in the tribe! I will treat you well. Let me be your first mate, okay?!"

Um... a handsome guy suddenly confessed his love to me, what should I do? Putting aside the location and race, Ming is indeed a good partner. Tall, handsome, and responsible... Oh~! I'm overthinking! How can I put aside race? After all, I studied biology, and there is reproductive isolation... Huh? The more I think about it, the more I go astray. Stop it, everything is dark in front of me, and the most important thing is to live well in the present.

"Ming, you're a very good, caring... um... friend. I want to date you first, and then consider being your partner. Is that okay? And in my hometown, everyone can only have one partner. It's different from your tribe!"

When Erye heard this, she did not completely refuse. Ming was very happy, and then she heard that she could only have one partner. Ming was happy and worried. Although he was strong, there were too many dangerous factors. He could not guarantee that he could always protect Ye. Could she survive the next winter...

"Of course, Ye, I will work hard to pursue you and get your approval, but the conditions in the southern border are very harsh. One more partner means more protection for females." Ming looked at Shi Liuye with clear eyes. "Ye's tribe must be very rich. The animal skins on his body are probably only comparable to the precious shark silk, and there is also this." As he said, he gave the trailer basket to Shi Erye and took it over. "I have never seen such a good thing to hold things. You have to keep it well and don't take it out to be seen by others. I won't tell anyone."

Shi Erye was startled and broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, it was the beginning of the warm season. Many orcs were resting or going out hunting. No one should have noticed this. Ming was the only one in front of him who could be trusted. If he was not honest with me, how could he expect him to cover for me in the future?

He made up his mind and decided to take a gamble. "Ming, come here!" Shi Erye took out the things in the basket one by one and placed them on the stone bed. "Ming, I lied to you. I am not from the dog tribe. At that time, I thought I was in my world... um~! What did you say? I thought I was still in my tribe. This thing is a tool for buying groceries in my hometown. It is very common. I went out to buy groceries today and met a cat. I chased it out of the alley and came here. You know what happened in the end." Shi Erye looked at Ming's face carefully. Fortunately, he only saw his surprise. There was no bad intention in his eyes. It seems that he is really lucky. He met an upright orc.

"It's really hard to understand! So Ye's hometown is not in the southern border? It's very likely that it's not in this world at all? Will Ye go back then? Will Ye leave me? Will I be able to see Ye again in the future?"

Questions came one after another, and Shi Erye was confused. Oh! Oh, right, there is a cell phone. Shi Erye took out his cell phone, but there was no signal. No network. Oh! It was expected. We are not in the same space, so we can't expect to be able to contact each other. I don't know if Lao Shi will call the police if I am missing? My mother must be crying sadly, right?

Alas~... "I don't know if I can go back home. Have you seen that alley when you were patrolling the territory? Ming, you are very strong and must be very prestigious in the tribe! If I can go home, I will definitely go home without hesitation. Can you go back to my hometown with me? Can you abandon the tribe? Abandon your parents? So, I am happy that I like you. But I can't agree to be your partner. Because I don't know what will happen in the future. I am very grateful for your taking me in! I have nothing to repay you. And I can't make you a promise. This basket and everything in the basket are all for you."

Ming held onto Shi Erye's hand that was holding the basket. "These are Ye's things. You don't have to give them to me. I didn't bring you back for these reasons. I'm glad you can be honest with me, even though there are many things I still don't understand. But I will do what I say. I will protect Ye! No matter if Ye finds his way home or stays here. As for other things, let's just take it one step at a time. I'll go find my mother and get you some animal skins."

"Hey ~ Ming!" Ming ran out of the house regardless of Shi Erye's shouts.

Forget it! I'll teach him about the things in the vegetable basket when he comes back. I'll show him the video stored on my phone, he'll definitely be very curious. Shi Erye herself didn't realize that she had unconditional trust in Ming!
