A guide to surviving in the world of beasts

Su Ling had just put away the basket when she saw Hu Yi walking towards her in the sunset with a smile on her face. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly that his face and figure were absolutely amazing. No wonder a female would say in broad daylight that she wanted to give birth to a cub for him.

Hu Yi saw Su Ling looking at him without saying anything, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Why aren't you talking?"

Could Su Ling tell Hu Yi that he was thinking about how good-looking he was? Obviously not, "No, have you discussed this with the clan leader?"

"Well, we're done. We can go back now."

After saying hello to the chief, they took the basket and headed towards the cave. However, the chief looked at her with a more friendly expression than the previous two times they met. It must be because Hu Yi told him about the herbs.

Sha felt very unwilling when she saw Hu Yi treating Su Ling with such tenderness, because Hu Yi had never treated her like this before.

……

Both of them were silent along the way. Su Ling didn't know what to say, and Hu Yi didn't know what he was thinking. They just returned to the cave.

"I went to cook."

"I don't want to have cubs with Li."

"what?"

Hu Yi shook his head in amusement. "Don't take what Li said seriously. No one can make you move out. I gave her food because I rescued her. The tribe doesn't have any extra food, so I have to be responsible."

"Why don't you like her? All males should like females like that, right?" Su Ling didn't realize that there was a hint of sourness in her words.

"Li doesn't like me. She was a tribal warrior before she became a male. She injured her leg while hunting and couldn't go out hunting. The food she could get was relatively less, and even less in the cold season, so she wanted to find a male to live with again." Hu Yi explained.

"Besides, females don't like my face. No female would want to give birth to cubs with me." Hu Yi looked lonely.

"Who said that? I like it very much." Su Ling retorted hurriedly. After she finished speaking, she realized what she was saying and her face suddenly turned red.

Hearing Su Ling's words, the smile on Hu Yi's face perfectly illustrates what it means when an iceberg melts, making people indulge in it and unable to extricate themselves.

Su Ling seemed to hear the sound of her own heart beating. It had never been beating so vigorously in the past twenty-five years. She felt like she had fallen into a trap. Who said orcs have simple thoughts? However, Su Ling did not regret saying that.

Su Ling met Hu Yi's loving eyes without dodging or avoiding them. She had lived in an orphanage since she was a child, and sometimes wondered why she was abandoned. She often felt repulsed by intimate relationships, so she never thought about falling in love.

In this strange world, Hu Yi appeared like a savior, bringing her a sense of security that no one else could give her. His meticulous care and consideration during their time together entered her heart bit by bit.

Although she didn't know what would happen in the future, Su Ling knew that Hu Yi was a special person to her, so she wanted to hold on to this relationship and start a new life.

Hu Yi never thought that such a female would appear in his life. Before his face was injured, he wanted to wait until he was old enough to find a female to have cubs with. It was not because of love, but because of the orcs' natural desire to continue their bloodline.

After his facial injury, no female liked him, so he stopped thinking about it and was fine living alone. But when he met Su Ling and got along with her, he was curious at first, but every day he cared about her more than the day before.

He had feelings for Su Ling that he had never had for any other female. He didn't want Su Ling to move away, and he didn't want her to have cubs with other males. He liked Su Ling.

Su Ling stretched out her hand and spoke first, "Hu Yi, I think I like you. Are you willing to have a love affair with me that will never break up?"

Looking at Su Ling's hand, Hu Yi asked in confusion, "What is love?"

Su Ling explained to him what love was.

"it is good."

He held her hand gently but firmly, and his voice full of promise sounded in Su Ling's ears.

……

Since they are going to live together in the future, they naturally will not move away, so Su Ling is thinking about how to transform the current cave so that they can smoothly get through the coming cold season.

Although she had never experienced the cold season in the Orc Continent, Su Ling had to make full preparations. In addition to food, there was also the issue of low temperatures.

Su Ling thought of a very practical thing, which was a kang bed. Su Ling told Hu Yi about this kang bed and wanted to build it in the cave.

Although Hu Yi had not yet made the actual product after listening to it, he felt that just listening to it would be of great help to the orcs in getting through the cold season. After obtaining Su Ling's consent, Hu Yi told the tribe leader about the kang bed.

Before leaving, Su Ling said to Hu Yi, "After all, I am now a member of the tribe, so you don't need to give me food. It's better to store more food for the tribe to eat in the winter. I believe you don't want to starve me, right?"

Hu Yi found her mischievous look funny and at the same time thought she was considerate and kind, so he pinched her cheek gently and said, "Okay, I'll tell the tribe leader and I'll be back soon."

……

After hearing this, the tribe leader said, "Hu Yi, thank Su Ling for me. This thing called a kang bed is very important to the tribe. The tribe will give her 500 kilograms of animal meat and 10 animal skins. This is nothing compared to her contribution to the tribe. We are very happy that she can become a member of the tribe. It is not an exchange, but just a small token of our appreciation."

"You will go to the tribal warehouse in a while to pick out animal skins and meat, and we will give her fresh ones when the hunting team comes back today. You must live a good life with Su Ling in the future. Tell me if she needs anything, and we will try our best to satisfy her." The patriarch could see that Su Ling was a smart female who knew a lot of things. Such a female was very important to the tribe.

Hu Yi thought that he didn't have any animal skins left, so he had to get more animal skins to make clothes for Su Ling. "Okay, I'll pick the animal skins first."

Su Ling felt helpless looking at the animal skins she brought back. Well, since she had given them to her, she would make some clothes for the winter season. She would also have to make some for Hu Yi, as he didn't even have an animal skin coat.

The animal skin skirt on her body is transformed from her own fur, but she can only transform into an animal skin skirt, and the skirt comes in different lengths. When it is hot, it is a short animal skin skirt, and when it is cold, it is a long animal skin skirt, without a top.

……

Su Ling and Hu Yi planned where to build the kang bed in the cave. Since they were going to build a kang, Su Ling thought of an earthen bread oven for baking bread, which would be convenient for grilling meat or anything else. They also needed to build a stove for cooking.

After telling Hu Yi, Hu Yi let Su Ling do whatever she wanted and helped her do whatever she wanted.

The tribesmen also came to help, and while helping and learning, they finally made what Su Ling wanted with some difficulty.

Su Ling originally thought that it would take a long time to make it, but she didn't expect that Hu Yi was very good at hands-on work. Su Ling provided ideas and rough sketches, and Hu Yi studied them carefully and made some modifications. It only took a few days to make roughly what she wanted.

It was much more than she had imagined. When the kang was completely dry and it was heated for the first time, the cave was crowded with people coming to watch.

The firewood was lit, and the thick smoke was discharged through the chimney. Soon the kang bed became warm.

"Hey! Chief, the bed is really warm." An orc touched the kang and said in surprise.

"Not only that, the wall is getting hot too." This was said by another orc leaning against the wall.
