I've been transported to the orc continent.

Because the adults were going hunting, many other tribes of beastmen also sent their cubs over, and the beastmen of the High Tree tribe would help take care of these cubs.

The female orcs in the tribe prepared their sleeping quarters and placed their cubs on them to take care of them.

The cubs were very popular with the adults, but most of the young orcs couldn't stand being cooped up in the cave. They would come over to see the cubs like clockwork, tease them a bit, and one orc even made one of the cubs cry. Before the elders in the tribe could react, the young orc had already slipped away.

Now things were really going to get complicated. One of the cubs started crying, and several of the younger ones also started wailing loudly. Their cries were so powerful that Bai Ling felt the entire cave was about to shake.

As soon as the cubs started crying, the beastmen who remained in the cave rushed over to comfort them. Fortunately, the cubs were quick to stop crying and quick to stop crying as well. Before Bai Ling could even take out his donkey roll, the cubs had already stopped.

Bai Ling and Yue stood by the kang (a heated brick bed), happily watching so many cubs running around on it. Although Yue's expression was indifferent, her eyes were very gentle.

Bai Ling took out a sandbag, which he had specially asked his father to sew from animal hides yesterday, and he put some soybeans inside.

Bai Ling tossed the sandbag up and down in her hands, quickly attracting the attention of several cubs.

They ran up to Bai Ling, their big eyes wide with curiosity as they looked at the sandbag in Bai Ling's hand. One of the white lion cubs approached Bai Ling, first stretching out its two front paws to put on Bai Ling's body, then grabbing Bai Ling's clothes with one paw and reaching for the sandbag with the other.

The other cubs also gathered around. One of the monkey cubs even climbed onto Bai Ling, stepped on Bai Ling's shoulders, grabbed Bai Ling's hair, and went straight for the sandbag.

The baby monkeys belong to the Greenwood Tribe, whose members live in trees and are mostly monkeys.

The baby monkey wasn't very strong, but Bai Ling's scalp still hurt from being pulled. Bai Ling quickly cried out, "Ouch, don't pull my hair, or I won't give you any treats later."

The baby monkey seemed to understand Bai Ling's words. It remained perched on Bai Ling's shoulder, its hands still gripping Bai Ling's hair, though its grip had weakened considerably.

Yue stood next to Bai Ling, but instead of stopping the baby monkey's actions, he was amused by Bai Ling's expression.

In Yue's memory, Ling had always been calm and confident, as if nothing could defeat him or stump him. He could do whatever he wanted, and he would definitely succeed. Even if he encountered difficulties temporarily, he would overcome them quickly.

Ling had never looked so embarrassed and helpless as she did today.

Moon's eyes curved into a smile. He stretched out two fingers and gently poked the baby monkey. The baby monkey turned around and gently bared its teeth at Moon.

Yue said, "Get off Ling. He wants to play games with you. The winning cub will get a treat."

Bai Ling wanted to play a beanbag toss game with the cubs.

The game is very simple: throw the beanbag out, and whichever cub retrieves it wins.

Bai Ling first took out a piece of donkey roll. None of the cubs had ever eaten this before, but they got excited as soon as the donkey roll appeared.

When orcs transform into their animal forms, their sense of smell becomes very acute. The donkey roll itself carries a faint, sweet aroma, and even if the cubs have never tasted it before, they know it is a delicious treat as soon as they smell it.

Not only the cubs, but also the children of the tribe gathered around. They immediately took off their clothes and transformed into beast forms, squeezing into the group of cubs.

The children's animal forms were too big; if they ran around on the kang (a heated brick bed), they might collapse. Bai Ling quickly called out, "You all get down first. I'll feed you later. Don't fight with the little cubs for food."

The children could only reluctantly transform back into human form and squeeze around Bai Ling and Yue, watching longingly as Bai Ling made the donkey roll in his hand.

Bai Ling waved the donkey roll in one hand, then raised the sandbag in the other: "Whoever can bring this back, I'll give them a donkey roll."

After saying that, Bai Ling took the sandbag and threw it to the other end of the kang (a heated brick bed).

The animal skin curtain of the cave was lifted, and the sunlight outside shone into the cave. With the torches specially lit deep inside the cave, it was not dark. As soon as the sandbag was thrown out, the cubs immediately rushed out.

Bai Ling didn't throw it very far; the cubs rushed out in a swarm, and then rushed back in a swarm.

Finally, a white wolf cub retrieved the sandbag.

The white wolf cub, carrying a sandbag, didn't return to Bai Ling's side. Instead, it rushed to Yue's side and bumped into Yue's chest, nuzzling its head against Yue's chest.

Bai Ling recognized the white wolf cub; it was related to Yue by blood, being the cub of Yue's father's cousin.

This is already a very close relationship in the orc world, because orcs have difficulty reproducing, and having even a slight blood relation can be considered as being related to family.

Bai Ling grabbed the cub by the fur around its neck and lifted it up: "How did you end up over there? The sandbag is mine."

The cub's ears twitched, and it spat out the drool-covered sandbag, making two "woof woof" sounds, as if asking Bai Ling why it wasn't being given any treats.

Bai Ling smiled and put it down, walked to the side, and took out a piece of donkey roll from her basket: "This is for you."

The cub's triangular ears stood up, and its furry face seemed to have a big "happy" written on it. Its already round eyes became even rounder. It stuck out its tongue and scooped the donkey roll from Bai Ling's palm into its mouth.

In Bai Ling's vision, he and Yue would play with the cubs together. With the sandbag and donkey roll in his hand, he would definitely be able to command a large group of cubs to hit wherever they wanted.

But while imagination is beautiful, reality is often not so pleasing.

When Bai Ling took out the donkey roll, a group of cubs crowded around, all looking at Bai Ling with wide, expectant eyes. Bai Ling hardened her heart and ignored them, only taking one piece of donkey roll. But after the white wolf cubs ate the donkey roll, the cubs all became extremely aggrieved.

Their normally clear eyes became misty, and some of the cubs even shed tears.

Even when they cried, the cubs didn't howl loudly. Instead, they just looked at Bai Ling and silently shed a few tears, as if accusing Bai Ling of his heinous crimes.

The ability to use their appearance to please adults is an innate skill for cubs. Just like now, when Bai Ling, the adult, refuses to give them delicious food, the cubs neither cry nor fuss. They just look at Bai Ling with a wronged expression, using silent tears to express their sadness.

Bai Ling is human, and humans are generally powerless against the pitiful, aggrieved eyes of a group of furry creatures; Bai Ling is also a beastman, and the instincts rooted in his beastman genes make it impossible for him to ignore the cubs' grievances.

The same goes for the moon.

He reached out and gently touched Bai Ling: "Ling, you've really messed up this time. You'd better fix it quickly, or the cubs will all start crying."
