I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 140 The Best Orc in the World

There was an unusually large amount of food at this year's Chadda Conference.

A large group of people were standing in front of a stall that sold fried meatballs.

Tapioca flour and soybean flour are mixed and made into balls, which are then steamed in advance. The animal fat is heated in an iron pot, and the balls are fried in the oil. After they are taken out of the pot, they are sprinkled with a layer of soybean flour. The delicious fried balls are ready.

The stall here is set up by Feng's good friend Lan. The iron pot they are using is borrowed from Bai Ling's house. When they saw Bai Ling arrive, Lan's partner Gua greeted her, "Ling, I've already fried the meatballs you wanted. Here, take them and eat them."

As he spoke, he took out a ceramic bowl from the stall, which contained freshly fried cassava balls: "These are freshly fried balls, they're still warm."

Bai Ling didn't stand on ceremony with him. After thanking Lan and Gua, she took the fried meatballs and left.

There were still many people in front of the soap stall. Bai Ling walked up to the stall with a ceramic bowl in her hand and said with a smile, "I brought some fried meatballs. You can have some first."

The meatballs had cooled down, but the aroma of deep-frying was still there. Yue glanced at the fried meatballs and asked, "Are these the fried meatballs Uncle Lan sells?"

Bai Ling smiled and nodded: "I happened to pass by Uncle Lan's stall when I came, so I asked him for some. Yue, would you like to try some? It smells pretty good to me."

Since starting to make bricks, Bai Ling hasn't had time to cook delicious food. However, the tribespeople have invented many tasty dishes, such as these fried meatballs, which are very popular in the tribe.

Yue shook her head: "Let's wait a little longer, we can eat after we close up shop."

As the two were talking, the other tribesmen at the stall naturally saw them. Two orcs huddled together and muttered a few words. After discussing it with the other orcs, one of them shouted, "We're packing up now. We'll be back here tomorrow morning. If you want to buy anything, just come back tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing that they were closing up shop, the orcs still gathered around the stall quickly exchanged the soap they had their eye on for another one, and then called their friends and left.

After Yue and the other people packed up their stall, they scooped water from a nearby earthenware basin to wash their hands. There were no towels, so they just shook their hands after washing them.

Seeing that Yue had washed her hands, Bai Ling eagerly brought over the ceramic bowl containing the fried meatballs, looking at Yue like a little puppy: "Yue, try the meatballs and see if they're delicious."

Yue made two meatballs. Tapioca flour is naturally sweet, and the stir-fried soybean flour has a light, refreshing aroma. After steaming and frying in oil, the flavor becomes even better. Sprinkle a layer of fine soybean flour on top, and the combination of sweetness and charred aroma makes it absolutely delicious.

The meatballs were a bit cold; they didn't taste as good as when they were freshly fried.

However, Yue still really enjoyed eating it, and her mouth would still have a faint fragrance after she finished.

Bai Ling then distributed the meatballs to the other tribespeople. The tribespeople picked up the meatballs with laughter, and some of them, who liked to joke, even imitated Bai Ling's tone and said to their companions, "Try the meatballs and see if they're delicious."

Before he could finish speaking, the tribesman burst into laughter.

After distributing meatballs to the clansmen, Bai Ling carried the earthenware bowl to Yue. Yue looked up at him and asked, "Ling, what's wrong with you? Why are you being so careful around me?"

Bai Ling laughed and said, "I've discovered that Yue is just too popular. If I'm not careful, someone else will snatch her away."

He whispered, "You're afraid someone will steal me away, so why don't you..."

Yue's voice was so soft that even Bai Ling, who was sitting very close to him, couldn't hear it clearly.

"Yue, what did you say? It's too noisy here, I can't hear you." They were at the Chada Convention, surrounded by vendors on both sides. The sounds of hawking, bargaining, and laughter mingled together, constantly trying to reach Bai Ling's ears. Plus, Yue's voice was too soft, so Bai Ling couldn't hear her at all.

Yue smiled, and this time Bai Ling could hear what she said clearly: "You're afraid I'll be taken away by someone, and I'm also afraid you'll be taken away by another female. Ling is so good, many people like her."

Bai Ling retorted, "What's so good about me? Yue is the best."

Yue chuckled softly, "Ling is good in every way; he is the best beastman in the world."

Ling had no idea how wonderful he was. He was as warm and radiant as the sun, as vibrant as a tree. Countless females were attracted to him.

There were young females in the tribe who secretly liked Ling, but before they could confess to her, Ling was already sticking to them all the time.

Young females from other tribes are unaware of their relationship with Ling. In their eyes, Ling is still a single male. They are attracted to Ling and will directly invite him to play together or express their feelings directly.

Yue couldn't tolerate so many people coveting the person he loved; he wanted everyone to know about his relationship with Ling.

That way, no one will try to take Ling from him anymore.

As Yue thought this, her gaze toward Bai Ling held something else in it.

Yue thought so, and so did Bai Ling. The thing he was secretly making was almost finished, and he would confess to Yue after the Chada Conference ended.

Thinking of the scene of confessing to Yue, Bai Ling trembled all over. He thought that it must be an unforgettable scene.

The Chada Assembly was very lively, with long queues forming in front of all the food stalls. Bai Ling pulled Yue to the stall in the central tribe, where there weren't many people.

Food was also available at the stalls in the central tribe, but because the food was brought back from other places by the orcs of the central tribe, it was much more expensive.

Bai Ling traded some dried meat for some fruit. This fruit looked a bit like an apple, but smaller. She didn't know what it tasted like.

Besides the fruit, Bai Ling also traded for some trinkets. The pottery industry in the central tribe was quite developed, and the painted pottery figurines they produced were very beautiful. Bai Ling liked them very much, so she traded some dried meat for them.

Bai Ling wanted to queue up to exchange some dried meat for food, but Yue pulled her away.

There were long queues in front of every food stall, and if they wanted to eat there, they would have to wait in line for a long time. Yue thought it was a bit of a waste of time.

The two returned to their temporary lodging in the tribe, where a meal had already been prepared—meat soup and cassava cakes, which the beastmen ate with great relish.

Upon seeing Bai Ling and Yue return, Feng waved to them, "Yue, Ling, come here."

Cang ladled out two bowls of meat soup and handed them to the two men. Feng complained to his son, "Ling, why didn't you bring Yue to eat at the Chada Conference?"

Yue took a delicious sip of the meat soup. Hearing that Bai Ling had been complained about, Yue quickly said, "Uncle Feng, it's because I didn't want to eat out. Queuing is too much trouble."
