I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 245 Sugar Figurines

After the little wolf was shaped, the maltose was still warm. Bai Ling used a knife to cut off the tip of the little wolf's tail.

Then, Bai Ling stuffed the little wolf's tail into Yue's mouth.

Yue didn't ask why, nor did she resist. She obediently opened her mouth and let Bai Ling put the thin little wolf tail into her mouth.

Yue saw that Ling's eyes were full of smiles, and she even felt Ling's fingertips gently caress her lips.

Yue's eyes widened, and he glared at Bai Ling gently, but said nothing. Instead, he obediently took the little wolf tail that Ling had stuffed into his mouth.

Bai Ling said, "Yue, blow into the maltose. Blow slowly, don't blow too fast, and make sure each breath is as long as possible."

Yue's eyelashes trembled slightly, indicating that she understood.

Bai Ling held the wolf cub in her hands, took a deep breath, and then blew air into the wolf cub's tail.

As the moon blew, the originally flat little wolf slowly became plump, as if some invisible thing was stretching the little wolf's body.

Yue's eyes widened suddenly. He watched in disbelief as the little wolf made of malt sugar grew bigger and bigger, transforming from a shriveled little wolf into a truly adorable little wolf.

He even forgot to blow air, and just stared blankly at the little wolf that had grown bigger.

Bai Ling laughed and said, "Yue, keep blowing air, don't stop."

Yue blinked, then realized what was happening and continued blowing air into the wolf cub.

As she blew on it, Bai Ling stared intently at the little wolf made of maltose, her icy blue eyes filled with admiration and wonder.

"Alright, Yue, you can stop now," Bai Ling said.

Yue immediately stopped blowing air into the maltose, his eyes still not leaving the maltose wolf, and he didn't even let go of the wolf's tail that he was holding in his mouth.

Bai Ling held the wolf cub's tail with one hand and used a knife to cut it off with the other. Then, she quickly pinched the tail and twisted it with her fingers, sticking it to a thin wheat stalk.

Moon's eyes remained fixed on the little wolf, as if she hadn't yet come to her senses.

Bai Ling found it amusing. He stuffed the small piece of maltose that Yue was holding in her mouth into Yue's mouth, and then waved his hand in front of Yue's eyes: "Yue, snap out of it."

Yue blinked, then came to his senses. His eyes suddenly burst with immense joy, and he reached out to grasp Bai Ling's hand: "Ling, you are so amazing! I didn't know maltose could be used to make this. I really love it."

The maltose that Bai Ling made was yellow with a slight black tinge when it was in the ceramic bowl, but when it was made into a little wolf, it seemed to turn into a bright yellow-red. Sunlight shone in through the window, making the little wolf seem to sparkle all over.

Yue really loved this little wolf. He adored sweets, but he absolutely couldn't bear to eat such a cute and pretty malt candy wolf.

Yue took the little wolf from Bai Ling's hand and looked at it from left to right, up to down. He really couldn't understand how the flat little wolf could turn into a plump little wolf just by blowing on it a few times.

Bai Ling explained it to Yue, who was a very intelligent person and immediately understood: "Just like clothes made of animal hide, they are flat when not worn, but when worn, it is the beastman's body that stretches the clothes. The same principle applies to the Maltose Little Wolf, except that it is I who blow air to stretch the little wolf, right?"

Bai Ling smiled and nodded. Yue held the little wolf in her hand and looked at it several more times before reluctantly looking away: "Ling, let's make another little lion, and your father, Chen, Uncle Lin, Uncle Qu, and Zong. Oh, and my grandfather and great-grandfather will also have one."

Yue could already imagine how happy her grandfather and great-uncle would be to see the animal shapes made of maltose.

Bai Ling nodded: "Yes, make one of them."

Bai Ling's sugar figurines were the most enthusiastic favorite of the whole family. None of them could have imagined that maltose could not only be eaten, but also made into animals. Everyone who received the maltose opened their eyes wide in surprise and held it in their hands as if they were holding a treasure.

Such beautiful sugar figurines are too beautiful for anyone to eat. Even the cubs resisted the urge to lick them, holding them in their hands and looking at them over and over.

Bai Ling found it amusing and said, "You can eat sugar figurines, but you have to lick them slowly."

Chen said, "I won't eat it. I'm going to keep the sugar figurine. Who could bear to eat such a beautiful sugar figurine? I certainly can't bear to eat it."

Bai Ling said, "It's warm inside. If you don't eat the sugar figurines, they'll slowly melt. You should eat them. There's still a lot of maltose at home. If you want some, I'll make some for you later."

After Bai Ling's repeated persuasion, the family finally started eating the sugar figurines. However, they ate them very slowly. Even Chen, who loved to chew the sugar the most, licked the sugar figurines slowly with his tongue.

For the orcs of the Hightree tribe, this winter was far too comfortable.

They have warm and bright houses, and plenty of food. They don't have to worry about the cold or food shortages. They can sit in their warm houses and do what they like with their people. Such a life was unimaginable before.

Back then, sleeping in caves was cold and hungry, and we had to endure the winter. Winters were so long back then, and we didn't know when they would end. Every day, we longed for spring to come quickly so that the dark and long winter could pass quickly.

But this winter, how should I put it, just went by very quickly. It felt like I hadn't even really felt the cold before winter was already over.

Although the weather is still quite cold, and it even snowed again, winter is really over, and the wind doesn't hurt as much when it blows on my face anymore.

Spring is approaching, and the New Year is just around the corner. This is the first New Year that the beastmen will spend in their houses. As if by prior arrangement, every household begins cleaning their houses more than ten days before the New Year.

The snow in the yard had to be cleared out, the house had to be thoroughly cleaned, even the corners had to be wiped clean, and the bare walls had to be decorated.

Orcs are actually quite artistic. During the New Year and the Chada Conference, they dress themselves up beautifully, with gorgeous and attractive makeup. After moving into their new houses, many orcs decorate them according to their own habits.

Some people hung huge animal horns and skulls on the walls of their houses, while others painted bright colors on animal hides or tree bark and hung them on the walls. Some orcs even collected unwanted wood from the carpenters' group and made some small trinkets themselves.

Bark paintings were also hung on the walls of Bai Ling's house. Feng also assigned Cang and Bai Ling tasks, asking them to carve a few lions and wolves to place on the windowsill.
