I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 172 This is what a kiss is all about.

The rain outside gradually subsided. Bai Ling and Yue grilled meat and ate it. Yue washed the remaining fruit. When they got tired of the grilled meat, they ate a few pieces of fruit.

After finishing their meal, the two sat at the cave entrance, watching the rain outside. Yue looked at the distant mountains and suddenly said, "Ling, I originally wanted to take you to that mountain to pick fruit, but I didn't expect it to rain like this."

"I think the rain will stop today, let's go pick fruit tomorrow," Bai Ling said.

Yue nodded, and the two of them fell silent, sitting together at the cave entrance, looking at the scenery outside.

The rain finally stopped, and the air after the rain was very fresh. Whether it was the distant mountains and forests or the nearby grass, everything was very clear and bright.

Bai Ling and Yue went to check on the Kengchi Beasts again. They emerged from the hollow where they had been sheltering from the rain, and seemed to be in much better spirits than when it was raining.

The two placed the grass in their hands into a hollow in the mountain wall, and the three beasts, with their rumps tucked up, began to eat the grass, completely ignoring Bai Ling and Yue, the two beastmen.

The two couldn't help but laugh, and Bai Ling took the opportunity to say, "Yue, why don't you keep these three beasts? If you raise them well, they'll be very useful. They can not only be used for farming, but also for hauling goods and grinding grain. Having them will make things much more convenient."

Yue shook her head: "No, I have to go out hunting often and I don't have time to feed it. Ling, you can keep it."

"These three Kengchi beasts were caught by me and the hunting team. We agreed to give them to you, and they all agreed. If I end up raising these three Kengchi beasts, the tribesmen may not say anything, but they will definitely have their own thoughts."

“So I can’t have it,” Yue said.

Since Yue refused, the three Kengchi beasts could only be raised at Bai Ling's house. However, one of the Kengchi beasts was pregnant, and after it gave birth to its cubs, one of the Kengchi beasts could be given to Yue to raise.

At dinner time, Bai Ling simply built two fire pits outside, one for stewing meat and the other for cooking mung bean porridge.

He and Yue wouldn't stay here for long, so the meat they hunted wasn't smoked. After this season, fresh meat can't be preserved for very long; if it were cooked, it could be preserved for two more days.

After pouring out some of the stewed meat, leaving only the amount for tonight in the earthenware pot, Bai Ling put the chopped pumpkin in and continued cooking.

Yue really enjoyed the cold dishes Bai Ling made, so Bai Ling made some more. Yue wanted to help out, but Bai Ling refused, saying, "It's just making a cold dish, you don't need to worry about anything, it'll be ready soon."

Refused help, Yue could only watch from the sidelines, his hands supporting his chin, his eyes sparkling as he stared at Bai Ling.

If the people in the tribe knew that Yue, who was usually aloof and expressionless, could look at people with such loving and joyful eyes, they would probably be shocked.

Yue is indeed cold and taciturn in front of others, but when Bai Ling is the lover he has chosen, the person he wants to spend his life with, he becomes completely different.

"Yue, why are you staring at me?" Bai Ling asked knowingly.

Yue said in a serious and honest tone, "Because Ling looks very charming when she cooks."

Bai Ling originally just wanted to tease Yue, but she didn't expect Yue to say something like that. Bai Ling's heart was filled with sweetness, like it was bubbling with honey.

"Hmm, am I charming when I cook?" Bai Ling stood in front of Yue, his figure completely enveloping her. Because Bai Ling was standing while Yue was sitting, Bai Ling was looking down at Yue, which gave him a somewhat condescending air.

Yue met Bai Ling's gaze with a smile: "Yes, very charming." Unfazed by Bai Ling's intense stare, Yue added with a smile, "I like it very much."

*

In the entire Yuanhu tribe, there were only two people, him and Yue. No matter what they did there, no one would see them or know about it.

Bai Ling realized he had made a mistake; he shouldn't have gone out alone with Yue.

For him, being alone with another man like this was the most dangerous test.

He had been tormented for most of the night, and now Yue was saying such things to him. How could Bai Ling possibly hold back?

There was no one else around, so Bai Ling did as he pleased. He bent down, his body enveloping Yue, and before Yue could react, he placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

Actually, Bai Ling wanted to kiss Yue's lips.

But Yue didn't seem ready, so Bai Ling could only place the kiss on Yue's forehead first.

The kiss was very light, like sunlight falling on Yue's forehead. Before he could react, Bai Ling had already left.

Yue's eyes were wide open, and there was no emotion in his icy blue pupils. He just stared at Bai Ling, somewhat blankly.

After a while, Yue finally reacted. His cheeks slowly turned red, and then his breathing became rapid.

Bai Ling smiled and said, "Yue, you are very charming too."

Yue's beautiful eyes remained fixed, staring intently at Bai Ling.

Bai Ling waved his right hand in front of the moon and laughed, "What's wrong, are you dumbfounded?"

His hand didn't retract because Yue grabbed it.

Yue gripped his hand so tightly that Bai Ling's wrist was hurting, but Bai Ling didn't even flinch, just staring at Yue.

Yue stood up, and the two were very close, so close that Yue's breath touched Bai Ling's skin.

Bai Ling was about to say something when Yue pulled him forward, causing his body to involuntarily lurch forward. Just as he was about to hit Yue, Yue caught his arm and stopped Bai Ling from lurching forward.

Yue still held Bai Ling's wrist tightly and did not let go.

Bai Ling didn't know what Yue was going to do, but he shut his mouth and swallowed what he was about to say, his dark eyes fixed on Yue, wanting to know what Yue would do next.

What Yue needs to do is simple: kiss Bai Ling.

Yue approached Bai Ling, tilted her head slightly, and pressed her lips to Bai Ling's lips.

Their lips touched, and then immediately parted.

It was a fleeting kiss; Bai Ling hadn't even felt Yue's warmth before Yue's lips had already left.

*

“Ling, this is what a kiss should be.” Yue’s cheeks were a little red, but her eyes did not look away. Instead, she looked directly at Bai Ling, who was so close to her. “This is what a kiss between lovers should be.”

When it comes to relationships, Yue is actually quite bold.

Even before they were together, he tacitly acknowledged their relationship and even made intimate gestures with Bai Ling in front of other orcs. After returning from a hunt, he would directly tell Bai Ling, "I miss you," and ask her to say the same to him. When he learned that Bai Ling was being pursued by females from other tribes, he would choose the most lively and grand occasion, in front of all the orcs from nearby tribes, to confess his love to Bai Ling.

Today, he also took the initiative to give Bai Ling a kiss, a kiss that belongs only between lovers.
