I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 170 You are so awesome

Bai Ling thought about the problem carefully.

He thought, what if something happened to Yue and she became less attractive, like if she injured her face while hunting...? Then Bai Ling grabbed Yue's hand.

He was breathing rapidly, his expression tense, even a little nervous: "Yue, you must be careful when you hunt in the future. It's okay if you don't catch any prey, but you must protect yourself."

The mere thought of Yue getting hurt made Bai Ling's heart ache terribly. Even if that didn't happen, just thinking about it was unbearable for Bai Ling.

Yue Wei was taken aback. He didn't understand what Bai Ling was talking about at all: "Ling, I'm asking you, if I become ugly, will you still like me? Why did this bring up hunting?"

Bai Ling had almost rolled off the animal skin: "Yue, you must be careful when you go out hunting." Bai Ling held Yue's hand tightly, "I can't even bear to think about you getting hurt, I'm terrified just thinking about it."

Bai Ling's hands were trembling. Suddenly, Yue understood what Bai Ling meant. She had become ugly because she was injured while hunting.

Yue understood, but still asked, "What would you do if I became ugly?"

Bai Ling said, "It would break my heart."

Yue: "Don't you think I'm ugly?"

Bai Ling countered, "If I become ugly, will you dislike me?"

Without hesitation, Yue replied, "Of course not. No matter what you become, you will always be my Ling. How could I possibly dislike you?"

Bai Ling laughed and said, "Then you are my Yue too, how could I possibly dislike you?"

Yue knew that Ling meant what he said sincerely, because he thought the same thing.

Outside, wind and rain raged, the trees rustled in the wind, and thunderclaps boomed in the sky. Inside the cave, the light flickered on and off. Bai Ling and Yue remained silent, simply gazing at each other.

I don't know how much time passed, but the thunder outside gradually faded away, and the rain started falling even faster.

Bai Ling said softly, "Yue, go to sleep."

"Then you should sleep too."

"Okay, then let's sleep together."

The two closed their eyes almost simultaneously, and two even breaths echoed in the cave.

With his beloved sleeping right next to him, and he could even hear his breathing, how could Bai Ling possibly fall asleep peacefully? He didn't even dare to make any big movements, and just closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

In fact, Yue was the same way. He couldn't sleep at all, but since he had already told Ling that he wanted to sleep, he could only close his eyes and pretend to be asleep.

When Bai Ling opened his eyes, he saw Yue's face.

The moon was draped in animal skin, with her arms exposed, her long silver-white hair flowing freely, her eyes peacefully closed, and her breathing even.

This was the first time Bai Ling had seriously observed Yue's sleeping face. Yue's eyelashes were so long that they even cast shadows on his eyelids. His eyes were also a bit long, with the corners slightly upturned. His nose was very high and straight, and his lips were full. The way he looked while sleeping was simply a picture of beauty.

Bai Ling traced Yue's face inch by inch with his gaze, and the more he looked, the more he liked her and the more satisfied he became. How could there be such a good person in the world? How could he have met such a good person? How could he not only have met such a good person but also won her over?

Looking at Yue's peaceful and beautiful sleeping face, Bai Ling really wanted to kiss him on the cheek.

Unfortunately, that wouldn't work at all. He and Yue didn't have a closer relationship yet, so they couldn't do such a thing.

Bai Ling licked her lips, suppressed the desires in her body and heart, and got up.

He first went to the cave entrance to take a look. It was still raining outside, but the rain was less than last night. The rain was being blown into the cave by the wind. Bai Ling only stood at the cave entrance for a short while before he was covered in raindrops.

Bai Ling lit a fire where the rain wouldn't reach and placed a clay pot on it to boil water.

While the water was boiling, Bai Ling picked out the wild vegetables he had gathered yesterday, washed them, and chopped them up. He also took out the dried meat he had brought from the tribe, tore it into strips, and soaked it in a ceramic basin for later use.

Once the water in the earthenware pot boiled, Bai Ling filled several bamboo tubes with the water, then put the chopped wild vegetables into the pot, stirring them with chopsticks until they softened. She then took them out and soaked them in cold water.

Pour out the water from the earthenware pot, replace it with clean water, add the mung beans, cover the pot, and start cooking.

After Bai Ling finished doing all that, she went to check on Yue, who was still asleep.

Bai Ling's gaze was so intense that even in her sleep, Yue could feel an undeniable gaze fixed on her face. That gaze was extremely aggressive, causing Yue's brows to furrow slightly.

Yue is a hunter, and he is actually very vigilant. When hunting in the wild with his tribe, he would wake up immediately at the slightest sound when he was sleeping at night. But today was a bit unusual. He was stared at by that aggressive gaze for a while before Yue slowly woke up.

Because Yue subconsciously knew that the gaze wasn't meant to harm him, but rather to protect him.

When Yue opened his eyes, he was a little dazed at first, but when he was fully awake, his face turned red.

"Ling," a smile appeared on Yue's lips, "when did you wake up?"

Bai Ling replied, "I just woke up too."

Yue stretched and looked towards the cave entrance. The rain was still falling outside, the fire was burning brightly, and thin steam rose from the earthenware pot on the fire. Yue sniffed and smelled a faint aroma, the astringent smell of wild vegetables after they had been boiled.

"Ling, did you cook some wild vegetables?"

Bai Ling nodded: "I blanched some vegetables, I'll make a cold dish later."

Yue asked again, "What's cooking in that pot?"

Bai Ling: "Then I'll cook some mung bean porridge, and when it's almost done, I'll tear some dried meat into it and make a pot of meat porridge, how about that?"

Yue's eyes lit up: "Okay."

*

Bai Ling took the greens out of the water and squeezed them dry. She then chopped the scallions and ginger she brought from the tribe, added salt, and mixed them together.

After setting the prepared cold dish aside, Bai Ling stirred the mung bean porridge.

He added a lot of mung beans, making the porridge in the earthenware pot very thick. The mung beans had already split open from the cooking process and were almost done.

Bai Ling added some cold water, and once the mung bean porridge in the pot boiled again, she put the shredded dried meat in.

The dried meat already contains salt, so there's no need to add any more. While Bai Ling was making these, Yue sat to the side watching.

Before long, the salty aroma of dried meat wafted out, and Yue's smile widened. He looked at Bai Ling with eyes full of admiration: "Ling, you're amazing! This porridge smells so good."

Looking at her with such admiration, praise and amazement, Bai Ling unconsciously puffed out her chest. She was overjoyed inside, but said aloud, "I just made a simple meal. You're amazing, Yue."

"Yue, you hunted two wild beasts. You're much better at cooking than I am."

Yue's eyes crinkled into a smile: "Then we are all very capable. In the future, Ling, if you want to eat any kind of meat, just tell me and I will go and catch it for you."
