After transmigrating, she became the most beloved beast in the world.
Chapter 84 Cave Layout
This cave indeed provided them with an ideal refuge; its ingenious structure featured three large entrances side by side, each with its own unique purpose.
The central opening is separate, and although the interior space is not large, it is enough to be used as a kitchen, and can even store a lot of firewood.
The two openings on the left and right extend inwards and are cleverly connected, forming a "U"-shaped layout.
The central location, situated behind the cave that serves as the kitchen, has relatively thin walls that allow some heat to pass through, providing warmth while cleverly avoiding the problem of smoke.
The three orcs quickly arranged their positions.
Hu Xiao chose to live in the cave entrance on the left. Although the space was smaller, the entrance was close to a mountain spring, making it convenient for him to fetch water at any time. He arranged this side of the cave in an orderly manner, making it suitable for resting and also convenient for him to be ready to set off at any time.
The remaining part of the cave was cleverly divided into two rooms. Chu Xinyao lived in the middle, a concave space where a fur curtain could be hung to ensure a high degree of privacy.
Between Hu Xiao and Chu Xinyao, there is a small cave with a small opening near the top. With a little simple treatment, it can be used as a storage room.
The outermost room was for He Yu and She Mo, the two beast husbands. However, the two had already reached a consensus that if they were to spend the cold season here, Chu Xinyao would need a beast husband to accompany her every night, because the cold season on the Beast God Continent was particularly cold.
Snake Ink even had a vague premonition that he might agree to Tiger Roar as Yao's third beast husband, because as a cold-blooded snake, he wasn't suitable for Han Ji to accompany Chu Xin Yao, but...
His dark red eyes turned slightly cold; if they wanted cubs, they would have to wait until later.
Find two large rocks and block the two entrances on the left and right. This way, there will be no danger in living inside. Near the main entrance, there are some smaller entrances, no bigger than a thumb. Apart from snakes and insects, no threatening animals will be able to enter.
Before the first light of dawn pierced the night, Snake Ink had already quietly left the cave. Not long after he left, Tiger Roar also set off.
His task was to collect firewood to ensure there was enough fuel in the cave to keep warm and cook food.
He hadn't gone far; in the woods near the cave, his figure was barely visible in the rain, his sharp claws slashing, and trees fell one by one.
He dragged the wet trees back to the kitchen area of the cave, where they piled up like a mountain.
Tiger Roar's idea was good; he wanted to dry the damp wood for later use. However, he overlooked a crucial detail—damp wood produces a lot of thick smoke when burned in a fire.
Soon, the kitchen was filled with thick smoke, which made Hu Xiao cough repeatedly.
"Hu Xiao, you?" Chu Xinyao was startled by the sudden burst of thick smoke at the right entrance of the cave. She hurriedly came out and saw thick smoke billowing from the direction of the kitchen, as if something was burning.
"Hu Xiao, are you stupid? There's too much wood. Can't you put less in? Look at this smoke, it's almost coming in." He Yu noticed it too and rushed out to see Hu Xiao frantically dealing with the thick smoke.
Crane Feather acted swiftly, removing some wood from the fire to reduce its intensity, while simultaneously opening all the openings to allow the smoke to escape.
After some effort, the thick smoke was finally reduced, and the air inside the cave became fresher.
Hu Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at He Yu and Chu Xinyao with some embarrassment, realizing that his negligence had almost affected Chu Xinyao.
"Yaoyao, are you alright? I hope I didn't suffocate you!" Hu Xiao's voice revealed deep concern, and his expression also showed some self-reproach.
Crane Feather was displeased. He glared at Tiger Roar, throwing the wet wood in his hand heavily aside. "Haven't you done this before?" he questioned, clearly puzzled by Tiger Roar's actions.
"No, not exactly," Tiger Roar said somewhat embarrassedly. "It's just that we always collected the firewood before the rainy season. Even if the firewood in some orc houses got wet, we didn't have this much."
Chu Xinyao smiled and shook her head. She understood that Hu Xiao wanted to provide everyone with dry wood, but his method was somewhat lacking. "It's alright, we'll take it slowly. Let's start with a small fire and dry the wood gradually!"
They started again, with Tiger Roar first lighting a small fire with dry wood to prevent excessive smoke from being produced again.
Crane Feather joined in, and together with Tiger Roar, they placed the damp wood one by one beside the fire, letting it dry slowly.
As time went by, the fire burned steadily, the wood gradually dried, and it emitted a warm glow.
"Phew..." Tiger Roar let out a breath, finally feeling better.
When he set off again to collect firewood, He Yu also brought back many stones, his palms transforming into claws, and he began to frantically claw at the stones. Each swing was accompanied by the sound of wind, and the stones were as fragile as tofu under his claws, easily cut away.
As the crane's claws continued to fly across the stones, the rough stones gradually became smooth, and their shapes began to become more regular. Chu Xinyao stood to the side, her eyes wide open, completely dumbfounded.
Crane Feather stopped moving, and a perfect stone bowl appeared before Chu Xinyao's eyes. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Feather, you're truly amazing. But shouldn't your hands, which have transformed into beasts, be wings?"
Crane Feather chuckled, “No, our half-beast transformation isn’t fixed. We can transform into different parts depending on our needs. Like Snake Ink’s beast body, although he doesn’t have hands and feet, he can still transform into claws when he’s in human form.”
"Oh." Chu Xinyao suddenly realized.
"Xin'er, look." The sound of bones creaking in He Yu's back rang out, and a pair of pure white wings unfurled from his back. The wings fluttered gently, creating a breeze that caressed Chu Xinyao's hair.
"An angel!" Chu Xinyao exclaimed.
"What shit?" Crane Feather had originally intended to show off his uniqueness as a half-beast, who was also very popular with females, but he didn't expect to hear such a strange name.
"It's not poop, it's an angel. In a tribe near ours, your half-beast form is just like the angels in their legends. It's so beautiful."
He Yu suddenly realized that Chu Xinyao was actually praising his wings, not what he had misunderstood. His mood brightened instantly, and a smug smile appeared on his lips.
"Oh, I see!" he said, feigning modesty, but the joy in his eyes was undeniable.
Chu Xinyao heard the sound of the crane feathers scraping against the stone. The harsh, scraping sound made her uncomfortable, like a sharp blade cutting through glass, making her involuntarily want to move away. She even felt that the snake baby in her belly was pushing back when it heard the sound.
She stroked her belly and made an excuse to go check on the other side. He Yu heard the sound coming from not far away and knew that Hu Xiao was nearby. Only after confirming that she was not in danger did he feel at ease letting her leave.
