I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 206 Vermicelli and Meat Soup

The two of them said nothing, and just watched the sun grow smaller and smaller until it disappeared into the horizon.

After the sun disappeared, the clouds remained bright and vivid. Neither Bai Ling nor Yue spoke; they simply sat together, watching the beautiful clouds slowly darken, then turn a hazy yellow, and finally become black.

It had gotten dark, and everything around me was starting to become blurry, except for the person sitting next to me, who remained so clear and warm.

Bai Ling pulled Yue's hand to his chest and placed it there: "Yue, listen to how fast my heart is beating?"

Yue's palm was pressed against the animal hide, beneath which lay Ling's burning hot body.

Ling's body felt like it was on fire, burning hot. Even through the layer of animal hide, he felt as if he were being scalded by the heat.

Ling's heart wasn't beating fast, but it was very strong. The "thump thump thump" sound was like the sound of blacksmithing, and it hit Yue's heart again and again.

As a result, Yue's heart began to beat even louder.

"Yes, you jumped very powerfully," Yue replied.

Bai Ling smiled at Yue. Under the dim sky, the smile was warm and dazzling, like a flower blooming in the dark night. Yue was stunned for a moment, and then felt her eyes and heart warm.

A tingling sensation welled up in Yue's heart, and he longed to do something to pluck this beautiful flower.

With that in mind, Yue did just that.

He leaned forward and fell into Bai Ling's arms. Then, he tilted his head up slightly, gently approached Bai Ling's face, and planted a kiss on the corner of her lips.

The kiss was very light and gentle, like a breeze that seemed to barely exist, lightly touching the corner of Bai Ling's lips.

When the kiss ended, Yue didn't immediately pull away. He wrapped his arms around his lover's waist and pressed his warm, dry lips against hers.

Unlike that gentle, wind-like kiss, this kiss was fast and urgent, like a summer downpour drenching one's body.

Bai Ling pulled Yue into his arms and hugged her tightly, taking the initiative to deepen the kiss.

When they parted, both of their lips were bright red, and Yue's beautiful ice-blue eyes were covered with a layer of water, as if a layer of spring water had covered her originally cold eyes, making the ice field almost melt.

A fire ignited in Bai Ling's dark eyes as he stared intently at the moon, like a beast eyeing its prey.

Yue was a skilled hunter who encountered countless ferocious beasts, including super-sized creatures like the Blue-Eyed Beast. But even the largest beasts eventually became food for his people under Yue's command.

The hunter who used to be the hunter has now become the prey. Based on Yue's experience as a hunter, once a beast is targeted by a hunter with these eyes, even the strongest beast cannot escape.

Yue knew he couldn't escape Ling's grasp, but he wasn't afraid.

Because he willingly fell into Ling's hands, into this cage called "love".

Orcs don't know what restraint or cowardice is. They are passionate and straightforward in their feelings, and when facing their lovers, they will only do what they want to do. Yue is the same.

He reached out and grabbed Bai Ling's hand, trying to pull her into his arms, but he couldn't budge her. Instead, he was pulled by a powerful force and fell into his lover's arms.

Bai Ling's kiss landed again, this time more urgent and fierce than before, as if he were determined to devour the person in his arms.

The beastmen loved stewed beast meat with vermicelli. When they learned that there were other ways to eat vermicelli, they all demanded that it be made and eaten immediately.

So Bai Lingtian got up as soon as it was light, washed his hands and face, brushed his teeth, and headed towards the low hill.

Lunch and dinner were cooked in the square, while breakfast was cooked in front of the cave in Aishan, because there was a shed in front of the cave, making it warmer to cook in the morning.

The orc who was cooking had just gotten up, and the fire in the hearth hadn't been lit yet.

Upon seeing Bai Ling arrive, Cai said, "Ling, you don't need to come so early. Let's start cooking the meat soup first, and you can get up later."

Bai Ling laughed and said, "I'll do it. First, stew the beast meat and bones, and heat up the cassava cakes. If any beastmen don't like vermicelli, then they can eat cassava cakes."

The beast meat had already been cut out yesterday and placed in a ceramic basin. The beastmen lit the fire pit, and Bai Ling first stir-fried the meat, then added water to stew it. Bones were also stewed in a ceramic pot next to it. A steamer was placed on the iron pot for stewing bones, and cassava cakes were being heated in the steamer.

Cai had already taken out the glass noodles. Bai Ling had cooked the meat and then soaked the glass noodles so they would cook more easily later.

Yue emerged from the cave. He wasn't surprised to see Bai Ling, because he already knew yesterday that Ling was coming over to cook this morning.

Bai Ling leaned closer and said, "Yue, go wash your face and brush your teeth. We'll have to wait a while before we can eat."

Yue nodded, and Bai Ling went back to tending the fire.

After the meat was stewed, Bai Ling started cooking the cassava noodles. The noodles had already been cooked during the preparation process and had been soaked for a while, so they were easier to cook now. After cooking, the noodles were taken out and rinsed in cold water, which made them more chewy and prevented them from sticking together.

Many beastmen had already gotten up. Bai Ling pointed to the chopped scallions and ginger on the side and said, "Those who like scallions and ginger can add them themselves, and those who don't don't need to add them."

The beastmen chose to add or not add chopped green onions and ginger according to their own preferences, and then they started to line up. Bai Ling scooped up more than half a bowl of vermicelli for the beastman at the front: "Go over there to get the vegetables and beast meat, and then go get the bone broth last."

The celery and leafy greens were already blanched. The orcs decided how much to add according to their own preferences. Each orc received three large slices of meat, followed by a generous spoonful of simmered bone broth.

The beastmen carried their bowls into the cave and began to sit on the heated brick bed to eat.

A tiny bit of salt was added when cooking the glass noodles, but that little bit of salt didn't even have a salty taste; the flavor of the glass noodles came entirely from the bone broth.

The bone broth in the tribe has been simmered many times. Each time, the bottom of the pot is not thrown away, but new bones, scallions, ginger and spices are added and simmered together. Because it is simmered for a long time, the bone broth has a very rich and delicious flavor. The orcs can eat a lot of cassava cakes with the bone broth without adding anything else.

Now, when the glass noodles are poured over the boiling bone broth, the originally tasteless glass noodles become delicious and tasty. Add some fresh green vegetables and tasty slices of meat, and even if you don't eat them, just looking at this bowl of glass noodle and meat soup can lift your spirits.

Even Bai Ling couldn't resist the temptation; his mouth watered at the sight of such a bowl of vermicelli and meat soup. It goes without saying that the orcs, who hadn't experienced the baptism of gourmet food in their previous lives, were even more tempted.
