Chapter 150 I will be back as soon as possible
A huge surprise swept over him like a tsunami, and Bai Ling could hardly control his expression.
He hugged the moon tightly.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Bai Ling's expression was even somewhat distorted. He had a thousand words to say to Yue, but in the end, they all boiled down to a single name.
"Yue! Yue! Yue! Yue..." Bai Ling called out Yue's name again and again, hugging her even tighter, wishing he could meld her into his arms.
Yue was embraced tightly by Bai Ling, his expression even a little bewildered. He stretched out his hands, paused in mid-air, and then hugged Bai Ling back.
"Ling, let me go first," Yue said. "You're holding me a little too tightly, I can hardly breathe."
Bai Ling immediately relaxed her arm, but did not let go of Yue: "Yue, thank you."
Thank you for knowing where I came from and still loving and liking me wholeheartedly.
Yue's voice wasn't loud: "Ling, thank you too."
Bai Ling released Yue, but his hands remained on Yue's shoulders. He looked directly into Yue's eyes and asked, "Yue, what are you thanking me for?"
Moonlight's icy blue eyes curved into a smile: "Thank you for liking me."
"The moon is so beautiful, isn't it only natural that I like you?" Bai Ling said.
Yue: "Ling, you're so kind, it's only natural that I like you. Why are you thanking me?"
Neither of them spoke, they just looked at each other. The world was so vast, yet their eyes saw only each other.

The Chada Conference has ended, and the orcs are about to return to their tribe.
They came with anticipation and excitement, and left with a heart full of joy and satisfaction.
On the way back, Yue did not transform into her beast form, but instead sat on Bai Ling's back.
This was the second time Bai Ling had carried Yue on its back. Soft animal hides were placed on its back. Yue sat cross-legged on Bai Ling's back, holding onto Bai Ling's mane with one hand. Bai Ling's running speed was not very fast, and Yue sat very steadily on it. When something interesting happened, Yue would lean down and chatter to Bai Ling.
Bai Ling responded with "Awoo," "Awoo Awoo," and "Awoo Awoo," one speaking and the other shouting in animal language, yet it didn't hinder their communication at all.

The day after returning to the tribe, Yue was going out hunting again.
Bai Ling was really reluctant to part with Yue. The two had just confirmed their feelings for each other and now they had to separate again. Bai Ling even wanted to go hunting with Yue.
He is a white lion orc, and should have joined the hunting team. He was in poor health before, and he couldn't leave the tribe because of other matters. Now he has become as strong as the other orcs, and the tribe can continue to build houses even without him.
Bai Ling told Yue her thoughts, and Yue shook her head without hesitation, saying, "No, I don't agree."
Bai Ling asked, "Why doesn't Yue agree? Doesn't Yue want to be with me?"
Bai Ling doesn't want to be separated from Yue for even a second; he wants to be with Yue every moment.
“Of course not,” Yue said. “Ling, we both have our strengths. I’m good at hunting, and you’re good at inventing. I’ll go out hunting, and you can stay in the tribe and do your own thing. That’s the best way.”
"Yue, I really want to go out with you," Bai Ling said, her voice tinged with a hint of grievance. "Don't you miss me?"
Yuexin said, "How could I not miss her? Of course I miss her. Before we officially confessed and got together, I missed Ling terribly. Now that we're officially together and a couple, I'll only miss her even more after we break up."
But even if they didn't want to be separated, they had to be separated for a few days, for the sake of the tribe and for their own sake.
Yue could only promise, "Ling, I will be back as soon as possible."
A verbal promise was not enough to satisfy Bai Ling, so he made his own request: "Yue, I want to hug you."
Even though they were officially together, their relationship wasn't much different from before, and there was no more intimate contact between them.
Bai Ling really wanted to hug Yue again, but she was too embarrassed to make such a request. Now that she had the chance, she immediately made the request.
Yue nodded gently and whispered, "Ling, don't hug me so tightly."
Bai Ling did not answer. He gently held Yue in his arms and deeply inhaled her scent.
Bai Ling thought that hugging Yue would make him feel better and accept the temporary separation, but when he held the person he loved in his arms, Bai Ling realized that he was even more reluctant to part with Yue.
He really couldn't bear to see Yue leave.
But even if he was reluctant, he couldn't keep Yue because of his own selfishness. Yue wasn't his possession; she had her own things to do, and he couldn't be a stumbling block to her.
"Yue, come back soon." Bai Ling hugged Yue tighter.
Yue nodded in Bai Ling's arms: "Yes, I will come back as soon as possible."

Things in the tribe need to be rearranged.
The orcs from the Central Tribe are here, and the Great River Tribe has also sent twenty-five orcs. More orcs from other tribes will be coming later, and they will all be learning how to build houses from Bai Ling.
Chief Li of the Great River Tribe personally escorted his people over. He said to Bai Ling, "Ling, these beastmen are all steady and skillful. Just tell them what you need them to do. If they do anything wrong, feel free to discipline them. Don't feel embarrassed just because they are older than you."
"Teach them whatever work you have to do in your fields."
Like a parent, Li entrusted his clansmen to Bai Ling as if they were his children.
Bai Ling also said, "Clan Chief Li, I will definitely do my best to teach them everything I know."
Li and his people bowed to Bai Ling: "Ling, on behalf of all the beastmen of the Great River Tribe, thank you."
Bai Ling quickly went to help Li up, but Zhan stopped her: "Ling, you can totally accept this bow. If you don't accept it, Li will feel bad."

Bai Ling divided the beastmen who came to the tribe into four groups: one group learned to make mud bricks, another group learned to fire bricks, and the third group was responsible for assisting the tribesmen who were building houses.
These are relatively simple tasks. Once they are familiar with these tasks, Bai Ling will assign them other tasks.
To build a house, you need to learn how to fire bricks and tiles, fire glass, fire cement and lime, and make doors and windows. You also need to learn how to build brick kilns and tile kilns, fire charcoal, and cut down suitable trees... There are so many things to learn.
As for the last group, Bai Ling also assigned them tasks: some people weeded Bai Ling's fields, and some people dug holes in Bai Ling's backyard.
