Quick Transmigration: The Villain is Destiny, the Protagonist Takes a Backseat

"Really?" Ling asked, still somewhat skeptical.

Ling had never heard of such a treatment method.

"Mmm, mmm, mmm, try blowing on it if you don't believe me." Ji Qiuzhe's eyes were full of anticipation.

Ling didn't believe it at all.

However, faced with the orc's expectant gaze, he lowered his head and tried gently blowing on his wound a few times.

"call--"

Ji Qiuzhe closed his eyes, feeling comfortable.

"how?"

After playing the flute, he looked up and saw that the orc had his eyes closed, and he was a little unsure of his reaction.

Ji Qiuzhe opened his eyes, his emotions overflowing: "It doesn't hurt at all anymore, it really works, thanks to you for helping me."

Although she knew that what the other person said might not be true, Ling's lips still curled up slightly.

Recalling the awkward moment just now, it wagged its tail tip uncomfortably again, "Then you rest well, I'll go out and find something to eat."

"Yes, don't go too far. Be back before sunset," Ji Qiuzhe instructed.

He really wanted to go, but his physical condition wouldn't allow it. Rather than pushing himself, he should focus on recovering from his injury so he could get back to health faster.

"Well, I will."

After saying that, Ling left the cave full of energy.

This was the first time someone had waited for him to return to the cave, and it felt wonderful.

The snake left.

003 then voluntarily came out to change Ji Qiuzhe's dressing.

The medicine was too strong, and as soon as it was applied, Ji Qiuzhe couldn't help feeling sleepy.

He yawned, turned towards the cave, transformed back into his original form, rested his head on his paws, and fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up, Ling had already returned.

Seeing that he was awake, she hurriedly said, "I caught two rabbits today, you should eat them quickly."

Ji Qiuzhe then asked, "What about you? Have you eaten?"

There was no silence.

He seemed a bit useless; he went out to search all afternoon and only caught two rabbits. Considering the lion's large appetite, he endured his hunger and brought the rabbits back to the cave, thinking he would wait until Ji Qiuzhe finished eating and see if there were any left.

If there is any, he will eat a little.

If there was nothing else, he would go out at night to catch a mouse to eat.

"You eat quickly, I have a small appetite and don't eat much."

Ji Qiuzhe knew he hadn't eaten.

However, he can't bring himself to eat raw rabbit yet.

He remembered seeing a lot of willow and jujube wood on the road when he went out during the day, which would be perfect for making fire by friction.

The weather has been hot these past few days, and there hasn't been any rain. The firewood in the valley must be very dry, perfect for starting a fire.

They could easily roast and eat those two rabbits.

Ji Qiuzhe told Ling about his idea, and Ling immediately agreed.

He had eaten cooked food before.

Every orc who followed the queen received a small amount of cooked meat each day. It was said to be roasted with something called fire, and seasoned with small bits of salt and spices, making it exceptionally delicious.

He worked diligently every day and was rewarded with a fist-sized piece of roasted meat, which was the happiest time of his day.

He had only ever been the one being told what to do, so naturally he had never seen how these delicious foods were prepared.

Even fire, he only managed to catch a glimpse of from afar.

Fortunately, he was used to eating raw meat, and after escaping, he survived well by eating raw meat.

"This is the kind of wood that, when sharpened at one end, can be used to make fire by drilling."

Before the sun had set, Ji Qiuzhe simply left the cave, cleared a space at the entrance, and began his long experiment of making fire by friction.

This was his first time acting as a primitive man. Although he knew the theoretical knowledge, he still needed skills to put it into practice.

"You tell me, I'll do it."

Considering his injuries, Ling took the initiative to do the job.

Ji Qiuzhe didn't show any unusual bravado: "Okay."

He directed Ling to swing his arms and try to drill into the wood.

Fortunately, through their tireless efforts, they finally managed to start a fire before sunset.

"Wow--"

Ling was so close that the heat from the flames almost burned his skin, but he didn't care. He looked at the little flame he had created with his own hands with great curiosity.

So this is how hot the fire is.

"Great job, you succeeded on the first try." Ji Qiuzhe couldn't resist praising him.

"Mm." Ling Xinran accepted his praise.

He also felt incredibly proud of himself; this was fire, a power possessed only by the legendary female incarnation of a god.

Now, he has learned it too.

With a flame and some flammable materials like dry grass, they built a fire and slowly roasted the two cleaned rabbits on it.

In primitive society, fire was the hope of the orcs.

The blazing flames crackled and popped, gradually replacing the setting sun as the sole source of light at the cave entrance, illuminating everything around it.

Even though Ling was a cold-blooded beastman, she still felt genuinely happy.

That's great, with fire, the nights won't be lonely anymore.

As Ling thought this, she quietly glanced at the orc beside her who was gently turning a wooden stick.

If only this orc could stay by his side a little longer.

He, like himself, had been abandoned by his tribe. Perhaps he could try to persuade him to stay and live with him.

Ling made up her mind.

Soon, the rabbit meat was roasted.

Ji Qiuzhe handed one to Ling first, "Try it, how does it taste?"

"Ah."

Ling had been craving the aroma for a long time, and now she couldn't resist anymore.

He took a big, loud 'whoosh' bite.

Due to the short time, Ji Qiuzhe didn't have time to find seasonings, so the roasted rabbit meat was inevitably a bit fishy, ​​but Ling didn't mind at all and ate it with relish, bite by bite.

Seeing that Ji Qiuzhe was still waiting for his feedback, he mumbled, "Delicious..."

No chef can resist praise for the food they've prepared.

Ji Qiuzhe chuckled: "If it's delicious, then eat it all."

"Mmm." Ling was clearly genuinely enjoying the food and was so focused on it that she barely paid attention to replying.

Just watching him eat made Ji Qiuzhe feel satisfied.

After Ling wolfed down her food, she wiped her mouth and noticed that Ji Qiuzhe hadn't touched the other portion of rabbit meat he was holding. She was a little puzzled.

"Why don't you eat?"

Ji Qiuzhe tore off half of the rabbit meat and handed it to him, making up a story: "I don't eat much, I can't finish one rabbit, I was hoping you could help me share."

Ling didn't send a letter.

He was already an adult snake and wouldn't be easily swayed by the words of other orcs. He could also estimate the appetite of an adult lion.

"No, I only eat one meal a day, and you're going to share half with me. My body won't be able to handle it." Ling didn't take the meat that Ji Qiuzhe offered, even though he wasn't full either.

"Ok."

Ji Qiuzhe did not insist and quickly finished eating the meat.

For half a month, Ji Qiuzhe ate and slept every day, occasionally getting close to Ling to strengthen their relationship, and his wounds were slowly healing.

During this period, Ling's favorability towards it increased by 10%, reaching 55%.

However, the "darkening value" remained unchanged.

That day, after Ji Qiuzhe's repeated requests, Ling took him out hunting.

In the beast world, there are beastmen who can transform into humans, and naturally there are also ordinary animals that cannot transform and have not yet developed intelligence.

These animals then became the food of the orcs.

Ling is a snake, which usually catches small animals such as mice and rabbits to eat.

Ji Qiuzhe is a lion, so he eats a wide variety of things.
