I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 161 Dreaming

Bai Ling's regret stemmed from his desire to experience certain scenes from novels with Yue.

"The CEO's gaze was dark and intense, like a whirlpool, almost drawing him in completely." The next development was, "He was afraid, he was terrified, he wanted to escape, and the CEO started to chase after him."

Unfortunately, Bai Ling is not a domineering CEO, and Yue is not a weak and helpless little pitiful person. Most importantly, Yue opened her mouth and asked directly whatever questions she had in her heart. This alone shattered the "domineering CEO drama" that Bai Ling wanted to stage.

Bai Ling really wanted to hold Yue's hand, and that's what he thought, so he did it.

Yue's hands were warm, and his palms were rough. Bai Ling held his hand as if she were holding a warm piece of jade.

“Yue, you’re so kind,” Bai Ling repeated again, “You’re really kind.”

Bai Ling held Yue's hand firmly in his palm, a blush rising on his cheeks. He said in a low voice, "Ling, that's enough. Just hold my hand for a moment and then let go."

"Otherwise the animal oil will burn."

Bai Ling cupped one of Yue's hands in his own, interlacing his fingers to hold Yue's hand tightly. His voice was soft: "Mmm."

Bai Ling gently squeezed Yue's palm with her fingers before releasing her hand.

Feng and Cang stood close together, each tending to their own fire, occasionally turning over the strips of meat on the rack.

The wind stirred up the meat strips on both shelves, and Cang went to fetch a large bundle of firewood.

He put the firewood on the ground and called out to the wind, "Wind, come and rest for a while. I'll watch the meat strips."

Feng didn't come over, but instead glanced at the wooden frame that Cang was in charge of and casually added two pieces of firewood to the fire.

The firewood was a bit damp, so even if you added more firewood, the flames wouldn't get stronger; instead, more smoke rose up.

After adding firewood, Feng moved aside, and the smoke didn't bother him.

Feng washed his hands, rummaged through the basket on his back and found a straw box. He took out a few pieces of bean curd candy from the box and sat down next to his partner.

He waved what he was holding in front of his partner, and Cang's eyes lit up. Beastmen all loved sweets, and Cang was no exception.

Feng held a piece of bean curd candy in his hand, and Cang obediently opened his mouth.

As soon as the bean curd entered his mouth, a light sweetness filled his entire oral cavity. Cang closed his mouth, first taking a deep breath of the sweetness of the bean curd, and then slowly chewing it with his teeth.

Feng also ate a piece of bean curd candy, his eyes filled with laughter: "When we came out, Chen wanted to come along too. To appease him, Ling said that we would pick some sweet grass to eat when we got back, and then we would go to the field together to pick sweet grass to eat when we got back."

Cang swallowed the bean brittle in his mouth before saying, "The sweet grass hasn't grown yet, it's a bit of a waste to pull it up now."

Feng laughed and said, "What's there to regret? We have plenty of sweet grass at home, so eating a few in advance is no big deal."

Cang then said, "You like sweets, why don't we pick a few more sweet grasses and have Ling make some sugar so we can keep them as snacks?"

The wind shook its head and rejected the suggestion. The sweet grass hadn't fully grown yet; it would be better to just pick a few to satisfy a craving than to waste it on making sugar.

The two then started talking about their families. Cang hadn't been away from home for very long, and nothing major had happened there; it was all just trivial stuff. But Cang listened with great interest.

"The sheep is about to give birth, and Ling said that we'll have goat milk to drink later."

"I've already picked some mung beans. I'll make you mung bean soup when we get back."

"There are quite a lot of bugs in the ground, and I'm a little worried."

Cang also recounted the interesting events that occurred during the hunt, especially the hunt for the Blue-Eyed Beast. Cang told his partner in detail, but he skipped over the thrilling parts and described the hunt as very easy.

Feng knew that hunting the Blue-Eyed Beast must be extremely dangerous, but since his partner didn't say anything, he didn't ask. Instead, he looked at his partner with admiration and quietly praised his partner's bravery and command.

Cang's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he even straightened his chest a little.

As the night wore on, the tribespeople who had been sleeping gradually got up and took over the night watch. Bai Ling and Yue transformed into their beast forms and lay down together.

The two large heads touched, as if to say goodnight to each other, and then they closed their eyes together.

Bai Ling was truly exhausted. He set off at dawn this morning, and after arriving at the camp, he went out to cut down trees. He did take a short rest at noon, but he was busy all afternoon and stayed up most of the night. Now he was really sleepy.

Yue was even more tired than him. First, he fought with the Blue-Eyed Beast, and after returning, he immediately began cutting and smoking meat. As soon as the tribesmen came to relieve him, his eyelids started to droop.

The other orcs also lay down and closed their eyes, soon falling asleep.

The stars twinkled in the sky, insects chirped on the ground, and a gentle evening breeze blew from afar, passing through everything on this land, and also through the busy orcs, who had transformed into their animal forms and were fast asleep on the ground.

It is like a gentle hand, caressing everything on this land.

Bai Ling slept even more soundly under its comforting touch, and even had a dream.

In the dream, Bai Ling and Yue were already married. Their house was newly built and fully furnished. The most eye-catching thing was the big bed in the bedroom, which was covered with soft bedding.

Yue was lying on the bed, covered with a thin blanket, his shoulders and arms exposed. His warm skin shone with an ivory-like luster, and his long silver hair spread out behind his head like soft moonlight.

Bai Ling saw herself walk in. She had just taken a shower and was drying her hair with a white towel while looking up at Yue.

The moon smiled at itself, then raised its hand, extending its index and middle fingers, and beckoned to itself as if calling a puppy...

The dream that followed was a bit inappropriate for children, but just as it was about to reach its most crucial part, Bai Ling woke up.

Bai Ling opened his eyes, his gaze initially unfocused, seeing only a vast expanse of silvery white before him. Only when he was fully awake did he realize that it was the moon.

The enormous white wolf's face was turned toward him, its beautiful eyes tightly closed, its ears drooping, and its nose breathing rhythmically; it was fast asleep.

Seeing that Yue was sleeping soundly, Bai Ling's resentment from the interruption of her dream immediately vanished without a trace. Bai Ling moved closer to Yue, stretched out her large paw, and gently covered the wolf's paw.

The enormous white lion sighed contentedly, a slight smile curving its lips. It stared at the sleeping white wolf for a long while before slowly closing its eyes again.
