I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 372 The Wedding is Imminent

The fabric is dyed; the next step is to make the wedding dress.

This is also the most time-consuming part of the wedding preparations. Bai Ling wants to embroider some gold patterns on her wedding dress, which can't be done in just one or two days.

He told Yue his idea, but Yue thought it was too troublesome.

Bai Ling once gave Yue a handkerchief embroidered with a white wolf. The handkerchief was light blue, and a white wolf was embroidered on it with off-white silk thread. The white wolf was only about half the size of a palm, but it took a long time to embroider.

If it takes so long to embroider a small handkerchief, it would take even more time to embroider such a large wedding dress.

It's already the third month of summer, and there are only a little over three months left until their wedding. During this time, they need to prepare other things for the wedding, work in the fields, and help with some things for the clan. They simply don't have that much time to do this wedding.

Moreover, Yue knew she wasn't good at this kind of thing and couldn't help Bai Ling much. If it got too complicated, there simply wouldn't be enough time.

Bai Ling thought for a moment and said, "Then we'll just embroider some simple patterns on the collar, cuffs, hem, and belt, and leave the rest unembroidered."

Yue nodded and said, "That's what I think too. If we do it together, we should be able to finish it quickly."

Besides the wedding dress, the couple also needed to make their accessories. Bai Ling had already started preparing for this. While in the central tribe, he had already made a gold headdress inlaid with gemstones. Last winter, he made another headdress. In the spring, he used his spare time to make the bracelet and necklace. Now, only the ring and earrings were left to be made.

If the two of them work together, they can finish the jewelry in a few days.

Aside from the wedding dress and accessories, the rest are just some small, miscellaneous items. There's no need to rush with these; we can take our time.

As autumn approached, orcs from other tribes began to arrive at the Hightree Tribe.

These beastmen all came to attend Bai Ling's wedding. Some of them had learned various skills in the Gaoshu tribe, while others had not, but they had benefited from the skills that had been passed down from the Gaoshu tribe. Among them were even aquatic beastmen who had traveled a long way to come with the central tribe.

The aquatic beastmen looked more like Caucasians, with deep-set features, curly hair, fair skin, and more vibrant eye color. Their arrival caused a small sensation in the High Tree Tribe.

Whether they are sky or land orcs, their faces are closer to those of yellow-skinned people. So when they suddenly see orcs with different appearances, the orcs in the High Tree Tribe are naturally curious.

However, despite their curiosity, the beastmen didn't actually go out to watch; they would just glance at each other when they happened to see them.

Because there were so many orcs coming, the houses in the tribe specifically for entertaining guests were simply not enough. Orc families with fewer members warmly invited the orcs who had come from afar to stay with them.

Even so, as more and more orcs arrived, the houses of the High Tree Tribe were simply not big enough. After discussing with the surrounding tribes, the orcs who had nowhere to live moved to the surrounding tribes.

With the Sky Orcs around, they will soon be able to reach the High Tree Tribe, and the surrounding tribes are also developing very well, so they can see and learn a lot there.

With so many beastmen attending Bai Ling and Yue's wedding, there must be a lot of food to prepare.

Zhan and several elders specifically sought out Bai Ling and Yue, explaining that all the food used to entertain the guests would be provided by the tribe.

Bai Ling and Yue both disagreed. How could they expect the tribe to provide food if they got married?

An old man said, "Ling, you have brought so many changes to the tribe, and Yue, you have also helped the tribe a lot. The tribe provided food to entertain the guests at your wedding, which is a token of the tribe's goodwill."

The remaining elderly people all shared the same opinion. No matter what Bai Ling and Yue said, they insisted on their own opinion and were determined to help the two of them provide all the food to entertain the guests.

Neither side could convince the other. Finally, Yue glanced at Bai Ling and said, "How about this, Ling and I will each contribute half of the food to entertain the guests, and the tribe will contribute the other half. Ling and I will also give some of the gifts that the guests brought to the tribe."

Zhan quickly waved his hand: "How can that be? The guests have brought very precious gifts. Even if you take out a portion, the tribe will still benefit from your generosity."

The orcs traveled such a long way to attend Ling and Yue's wedding, bringing gifts that were the most precious items in the tribe; any one of them could be exchanged for a lot of food.

Neither side could convince the other, so they finally reached a compromise: the food needed for the wedding day would be provided by the tribe, and the food to be served to the tribe members the day before the wedding would be provided by Bai Ling and Yue's family.

As the wedding day drew closer, Bai Ling grew increasingly nervous. Sometimes, when she and Yue were preparing for the wedding, Bai Ling would stop what she was doing, look at Yue, and ask, "Yue, are we getting married soon?"

Yue was already used to Bai Ling suddenly asking such a question. He put down his work, nodded and said, "Yes, we're getting married in twelve days."

"Ah, there are still twelve days left." Bai Ling started counting on her fingers, counting all the fingers on both hands, but there were still two days to go, so Bai Ling added her right thumb and index finger as well.

Bai Ling muttered, "Twelve days is so long, I can't even count them on two hands."

Yue didn't say anything, lowered her head and continued working. Bai Ling's emotions came and went quickly. After counting on his fingers, he also lowered his head and continued working.

Bai Ling's family had eaten early and then pushed their cart to Bai Ling and Yue's new house.

Tomorrow is Bai Ling and Yue's wedding, so today they need to prepare all the desserts and ingredients.

Bai Ling and Chen unloaded the items from the car one by one. Just as they moved the items into the kitchen, Yue's family arrived.

They also came pushing a cart, which was full of things. When Bai Ling saw this, she quickly went over to greet them. Cang and Feng also quickly went over. The two families greeted each other and then unloaded the things that Yue's family had brought together.

More tribesmen arrived one after another, all there to help. The old orc said, "Ling, you're the best cook. We'll all follow your instructions today; whatever you tell us to do, we'll do."

The beastmen all agreed with him. Ling's cooking skills were the best in the tribe. During the New Year or when the tribe had a feast, Ling would lead everyone in preparing the food. Now that they were preparing the food for Ling's wedding, he would naturally arrange it as well.
