I've been transported to the orc continent.

When Bai Ling saw the beautiful white wolf running towards the low hill, she followed her tribesmen down the hill without thinking.

Feng called from behind, "Ling, slow down, don't run so fast."

Bai Ling didn't even turn her head: "Father, I'm going to greet the people from the Yuanhu tribe."

Feng wanted to say something more, but his eldest son was already running down the mountain. He shook his head slightly and also ran down the mountain.

The arrival of so many unfamiliar orcs was a novelty for the children and their young, so the orcs of the High Tree Tribe brought their families, young and old, to welcome the orcs of the Round Lake Tribe.

Bai Ling mingled among the tribespeople, but unlike the onlookers, his entire attention was drawn to the beautiful white wolf.

The closer Bai Ling got, the more beautiful the white wolf seemed, as if it were a divine beast that did not belong to the human world and existed only in the heavens.

Bai Ling's entire attention was drawn to the white wolf. Someone nudged Bai Ling with their elbow and asked, "Ling, do you like Yue too?"

"Moon?" Bai Ling murmured to herself, "Is that his name?"

While Bai Ling was still in a daze, the white wolf disappeared. He looked around and searched everywhere, and soon he knew where the white wolf had gone.

A person emerged from behind the tree. He had long, silvery-white hair like moonlight, handsome features, a cool and aloof demeanor, and a tall, slender figure. His skin wasn't the wheat color common among orcs, but rather white, a warm and lustrous white like jade. His eyes were ice-blue, a mysterious color like a glacial lake, capable of captivating even the most powerful with a single glance.

Bai Ling's heart was pounding. He seemed to have seen this person before, back when he was still in a daze and hadn't recovered his memories.

Last year, my father took me to the Chada Conference. At the conference, the beastmen would compete, and the beastman who won first place would receive a reward. Last year, this beastman won first place, and his prize was a beautiful necklace carved from colorful jade.

Bai Ling didn't understand anything at the time. He saw that the necklace was pretty and went straight to ask that person for it. His father and father tried to pull him away, but he cried and refused to leave, and even grabbed the orc's hand and wouldn't let go.

In the end, they gave him a bead from the necklace. Bai Ling was overjoyed, holding it tightly in his hand and refusing to let go.

Later, my father and father even went to the Yuanhu tribe to give that person meat and animal hides.

So his name is Yue. That name really suits him.

To welcome the orcs from the Yuanhu tribe, the orcs set up a bonfire in the central square of the tribe. Water bubbled and steamed in a large earthenware pot, and the aroma of stewed meat began to spread.

The orcs couldn't help but salivate, especially the orcs of the Round Lake tribe. They had never smelled such a fragrant aroma before, and in their fearful and exposed-to-the-open-air conditions, the fragrance almost made the orcs of the Round Lake tribe lose control of themselves and rush to guard the pottery pot.

The adults were fine, but the children and cubs couldn't resist. They all ran to the fire, only to be caught and brought back by the adults.

Unlike the joyful expressions of his tribesmen, Huo was still somewhat worried. With so many more beastmen suddenly appearing in the High Tree Tribe, could they afford to feed them?

Huo had already made up his mind: if the Gaoshu tribe couldn't take in all its people, he would lead the majority of his tribe to seek refuge with another tribe.

Zhan called out to Bai Ling, who was busy by the fire pit, "Ling, come here."

Lan nudged Bai Ling: "Ling, the clan leader is calling you. You should go quickly. We'll take care of things here."

Feng also laughed and said, "Yes, we already know how to make melon and meat pies. Go and talk to the clan leader."

Bai Ling put down the seashell and walked a few steps to the clan leader's side. As he walked, he passed right in front of Yue, which made Bai Ling involuntarily straighten his chest and pull in his stomach, walk with his head held high, move his hands and feet in unison, and blush.

Fortunately, it was now completely dark. Even though there were many torches lit in the square, it was still not as bright as daytime. Even though Bai Ling's face was a little red, no one would notice anything.

Bai Ling walked to Zhan's side and asked, "Clan leader, did you need something from me?"

Zhan pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Ling, sit down."

Bai Ling didn't refuse and sat down directly next to the chieftain. There was no concept of hierarchy in the tribe, and the tribespeople and the chieftain got along very normally, without any distinction of rank or status.

The person on the display stand wore a proud smile: "Huo, this is Ling. He discovered how to eat daikon radish."

Huo Da was taken aback: "Big root grass? Isn't it poisonous? Can it be eaten?"

Huo was not the most powerful warrior in the Yuanhu tribe. He became the chief because he was good at finding and gathering food. Of course, Huo knew about the big root grass. It was a poisonous plant that even animals would not touch. How could humans eat it?

Zhan glanced at Bai Ling, who then explained, "Raw radish is poisonous, but it's not poisonous when cooked. As long as it's fully cooked, it's perfectly fine to use as food."

The gloomy look on Huo's face disappeared, and his eyes lit up as he looked at Zhan: "Zhan, you said the new food you discovered is radish grass?"

Zhan nodded and said, "Yes, our tribe has an entire valley full of giant grass. If we dig it all up, it can definitely feed all the orcs in the tribe."

Huo relaxed completely and said, "According to the rules of the orc world, since your tribe has taken us in, our tribe's territory should be incorporated into your tribe. We also have some large grass in our territory, and I will take people to dig it up tomorrow."

Although Zhan said that there was a valley full of giant grass that could feed all the orcs, Huo also knew that they couldn't rely on others for everything. The newly joined orcs also had to take action and do what they could.

Zhan waved his hand and said, "You're injured, you should rest for a couple of days." Seeing that Huo was about to object, he continued, "The injured orcs can stay in the tribe to recover, and the uninjured orcs can go to the valley to dig up some bigroot grass. You brought quite a lot of things with you, so you'll have to figure out what to divide up and what to keep as tribe property. Once everything is sorted out, and your injuries have healed, we can go dig up some bigroot grass together."

Bai Ling didn't sit down again. He quietly stood up and left. The clan leader and Huo were engrossed in their conversation and didn't notice him leaving.

When Yue looked over, Bai Ling's face turned even redder, and she practically ran back to the campfire as if fleeing.

While cooking, Bai Ling would steal glances at Yue every now and then. Yue was also looking at the earthenware pot of stewed meat, so it seemed that he also liked delicious food!

Bai Ling began to calculate in his mind how many dishes he could make with the ingredients he had on hand. He also wondered what kind of food Yue liked, whether it was sour or sweet, salty or spicy.
