finally.

Under everyone's gaze, Nini slowly nodded and agreed.

at the same time.

Ling Mu just happened to come back with other males and noticed the scene here.

His deep eyes were filled with a faint light.

Finally, his eyes stopped on Nini.

He said nothing after all.

Put the things you brought back in the square.

Then he began to teach everyone how to make a fire.

When the fire slowly rose.

All the orcs present had surprise in their eyes.

It should be the first time for them to see the fire, and some of the orcs even had tears in their eyes.

“It’s fire.”

After the fire started, Song Xingyue added a few dry branches into it.

"Fire can be used for many purposes. It can be used to keep warm in winter and to roast raw meat in normal times. More importantly, if there is an attack from an alien tribe, fire can also be used as a defensive weapon."

Her voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for all the orcs present to hear.

"In fact, the most important thing about making a fire is patience. I hope you can also be patient and practice the skill of making a fire little by little until you become proficient in it."

After she finished speaking, she bowed deeply to all the beastmen, clapped her hands, and ended the get out of class.

Lingmu held her in his arms, ignoring the looks of the other orcs around them.

"Shall I take you back to the cave?"

"it is good."

Song Xingyue happened to be tired at this moment. She really didn't want to get entangled here any longer.

Just let Ling Mu carry her back.

"Nini, do you understand how to make a fire?"

Senna scratched her head and looked at Nini with concern.

"I didn't quite understand what you were reading just now. Can I ask you for help later?"

"Me? Of course I understand."

Although Nini didn't quite understand some of it, she knew most of it.

"I'll teach you later. But now I'm sleepy, I'm going back to bed."

*

After arriving at the cave.

Ling Mu gently put Song Xingyue down, then spoke with concern.

"Why are you apologizing to Nini? You obviously didn't do anything wrong."

"Ah. That was our bet."

Song Xingyue stretched lazily, and then lay comfortably on the soft bed.

"Just admit defeat. Since Nini won, I'll apologize."

"But you are the leader."

Ling Mu frowned slightly and looked at her with great concern.

"A tribal leader cannot bow his head or apologize to anyone."

"why?"

Song Xingyue didn't quite understand this principle, so she asked with concern.

"Who told you?"

"Do I need someone to tell me this?" Ling Mu seemed to have a special understanding of the position of leader. "As a leader, you need to establish your prestige in the tribe."

“Prestige is of course important, but what’s more important is being able to get into their hearts.”

Song Xingyue supported her head with one hand and looked at Ling Mu sideways.

"Water can carry a boat and also capsize it."

"What do you mean?"

"it means……"

Song Xingyue thought about it and gave a brief explanation.

"The leader is not the one with the highest status in the tribe. This is because the leader is elected by all the orcs. If you can't sincerely do things for them, then one day they can easily elect another leader, right?"

Ling Mu understood.

Obviously.

He had indeed not thought about this issue before.

"Apology is a small matter. Winning their hearts is the most important thing."

Song Xingyue looked at him with a smile and waved at him.

"And now the most important thing is, do you want to lie down next to me? Do you want to talk about something else?"

Ling Mu would never refuse Song Xingyue's invitation, even now.

He obediently lay down beside Song Xingyue and stretched out his hands to gently hug her waist.

Eyes facing each other.

Song Xingyue couldn't help but kiss him on the forehead.

Then she reached out and cupped his face.

"Since we are already together, shouldn't we have any secrets from each other?"

Ling Mu didn't say anything, but a dark light flashed in his deep eyes at this moment.

"What I want to ask you is about your injury that year."

"Nini told you, didn't she?"

Ling Mu's eyes were flustered for a moment, but soon returned to calm.

"She was right. I was just that miserable. Her brother died to save me."

"No, I didn't say you were terrible."

Seeing that Ling Mu seemed to have misunderstood, Song Xingyue explained softly.

"I just want to ask you, what kind of difficulties did you encounter at that time that caused him to die because of saving you?"

"then……"

Ling Mu seemed reluctant to recall that pain.

but……

And because of Song Xingyue's words that there should be no secrets between each other.

Only then did he speak reluctantly.

"There were many enemies from foreign tribes at that time. So many that we couldn't resist them at all."

He took a deep breath and then managed to recall these things.

"Coco and I were gradually surrounded during the fight. We stood back to back, but... in the end he was still bitten to death. I was also seriously injured."

Ling Mu's hands clenched into fists involuntarily.

It was obvious how much trauma that incident had caused him.

"At that time I thought I was going to die, but when I woke up I had returned to the tribe. It was other males in the tribe who saved my life. But if possible, I hope that the one who died is me, not Coco."

After listening to Ling Mu's explanation, Song Xingyue threw herself into his arms with heartache.

under the moonlight.

She saw clearly the pain in Ling Mu's eyes.

I can see clearly how difficult it is for him to let go of this matter.

"So that's why you will never be able to hold your head up in the tribe?"

"I do not deserve."

Ling Mu uttered these three words with difficulty.

"I don't deserve to live in this tribe. I am the most redundant one."

"Don't say that in the future. Because I need you, and the whole tribe needs you too."

Song Xingyue said these words in the most gentle tone possible.

"Since Coco used her life to protect you, you should use your life to protect the person who is most important to Coco."

"the most important person……"

Ling Mu murmured these words softly.

"For Coco, the most important person is... Nini?"

“It’s not just Nini.”

Song Xingyue raised her head and looked at Ling Mu with a smile.

"Maybe the entire tribe. Because he fought for the entire tribe, didn't he?"

Ling Mu saw his own reflection in Song Xingyue's eyes.

heart.

At this moment, it felt like being touched by something.

He nodded slowly.

at this moment.

He also seemed to be making peace with himself.

"I understand. From now on...I will do my best to take care of the entire tribe."
