Chapter 254 The Moon's Relatives
A white wolf ran out of the forest, carrying two orcs on its back. When it saw Yue standing on the rock, its barking became cheerful, and it sped up, rushing towards Bai Ling.
Yue jumped off the rock and ran towards the white wolf.
Two white wolves approached and first bumped their heads together. Then Yue lowered her head, and the white wolf patted Yue's head with its front paw.
The orcs on the white wolf jumped off. Bai Ling recognized one of them as an orc from the Greenwood Tribe, and the other was an orc he did not recognize.
The strange orc went up and touched Yue's ear, said something to her with a smile, and Yue nodded. Before Bai Ling could figure out what was going on, Yue ran into the woods and then quickly came out again.
After Yue came out, she walked to Bai Ling's side, pulled Bai Ling to Bai Lang's side, and said with a smile, "Uncle, little uncle, this is Ling, he is my future partner."
Although Bai Ling still didn't understand what had happened, he still greeted Yue with "Hello, Uncle, hello, Little Uncle."
The unfamiliar orc was in his thirties and could be described as "handsome." He glanced at Bai Ling and smiled, "Yue, when did you find a partner? Last time we came here, didn't you say you wouldn't find a partner for ten years? How come you changed your mind in just two or three years?"
Yue smiled and said, "I'll change my mind when I meet the right person."
The man fell silent. The white wolf looked Bai Ling up and down before nodding at her and howling a few times.

Yue's uncle is named Hui, a male white wolf beastman. He and his partner live in a tribe that is quite far away. It takes more than twenty days to travel from that tribe to the Great River tribe, so Hui does not come back every year.
This year, he and his partner came back to visit their father and grandfather. When they passed through the Greenwood Tribe, they stayed there. While talking with the Greenwood Tribe orcs, he learned that his nephew Yue had moved to the Tall Tree Tribe. Moreover, the orcs of the Tall Tree Tribe would come to the Greenwood Tribe every day to pick mulberry leaves. He could ride on the back of the Sky Orc to the Tall Tree Tribe, which would save him a lot of time on the way.
So they decided to first take the Sky Beastman to the High Tree Tribe to see their nephew Yue, and then go to the Great River Tribe to see their father.
Yue said, "Uncle, Uncle, Grandpa, and Grandpa are living with me in the Great River Tribe now. You don't need to go to the Great River Tribe anymore. Just come with me to the High Tree Tribe."
He asked, "I heard from the orcs of the Greenwood Tribe that the Hightree Tribe has changed a lot. They said that an orc named Ling has come out of their tribe and invented many good things, leading the orcs to live a good life. Is that true?"
Yue was anything but modest. He took Bai Ling's hand and said with a smile, "Of course it's true, Uncle. You'll see when you come with me to the Gaoshu Tribe."
As they were talking, a loud bird song rang out from the sky; the Sky Orcs had returned.
*
It was the first time that Hui and his partner had ridden on the back of a Sky Beastman. At first, they were a little scared and just sat obediently on the Sky Beastman's back, not daring to move. Even their breathing became more rapid.
However, he only felt a little turbulence when the Sky Orc took off. Once the Sky Orc was airborne, he didn't feel any turbulence. Apart from the scenery on both sides rushing past quickly, it didn't seem much different from sitting on the ground.
His partner was still a bit timid; he clung tightly to his partner's chest and didn't say a word.
Yue took out a few pieces of candy and handed them to her partner: "Uncle, this is candy. It was made by Ling with sweet grass. It tastes very good. Would you like to try some?"
She took the candy and put a piece in her partner's mouth: "Fish, don't you like eating sweet grass? Try the candy and see if it's good."
Orcs love sweets, and fish is no exception. After putting the candy in its mouth, the sweet taste quickly spread, and fish's eyes slowly opened, even the tension in its heart was relieved.
She laughed and said, "Moon, this candy must be very precious. Sweet grass is already delicious, but I didn't expect the candy to be even better."
Yue smiled and said, "Uncle, the sweet grass is grown in Lingzhong, and the sugar is also boiled in Lingzhong, so it's not considered very precious."
Bai Ling added from the side, "Uncle, little uncle, if you like it, I'll give you some candy when you go back."
This is truly surprising. Isn't Sweet Grass a plant unique to the Snow Mountain Tribe? Every time there's a Chada Conference, the Snow Mountain Tribe would bring out Sweet Grass to exchange for it. If beastmen from other tribes wanted to exchange it, they had to bring their cubs with them. If they didn't have cubs, the Snow Mountain Tribe might refuse to exchange for Sweet Grass.
Why did Yue say that Sweet Grass is planted? What does "planted" mean?
Apart from the central tribe and a few nearby tribes, other tribes have not yet started planting, so they don't understand what "planting" means. He just finds it strange that the Sweet Grass, which was originally only found in the Snow Mountain tribe, is now also found in the Tall Tree tribe.
They and their partners found it strange, but by the time they arrived at the High Tree Tribe, they couldn't even feel that strangeness anymore.
They were all stunned by the sheer number of strange things the High Tree tribe had to offer.

The spacious, bright, beautiful, and tall house was something they could never have imagined. They didn't even think to ask how the house was built.
Yue stayed home with Hui and Yu, while Bai Ling ran to the fields to call Yue's grandfather and great-grandfather home.
When Yue went out hunting, her grandfather and great-uncle took care of the fields. The two old men seemed to have awakened their "farming spirit," not only taking good care of the crops in the fields, but also turning over the front and back yards of their house and planting vegetables.
Upon hearing that his youngest son and his partner had arrived, Yue's grandfather immediately put down his work, transformed into his beast form, and rushed home, while Bai Ling was responsible for pushing the handcart back.
There was a lot of green grass on the handcart, which was prepared for Bai Ling's livestock.
When Yue's grandfather and great-uncle went to work in the fields, they would cut a few bundles of green grass and bring them back to Bai Ling's family. Today was no exception.
Bai Ling pushed the cart directly back to the Yue family home. Yue's uncle took out the things he had brought and laid them out on the table one by one. They had brought animal hides, dried meat, and a kind of dried fish, a specialty of the tribe.
Every time Yue comes back, her uncle brings this kind of dried fish, because Yue's great-uncle and Yue both love to eat this kind of fish.
Grandpa Yue put the things into the storage room, then said to Bai Ling, "Ling, don't go back today. Have lunch here. The dried fish that Uncle Yue brought is especially delicious. You don't need to add anything, just boil it in water."
Bai Ling nodded and pointed out the window, saying, "Then I'll take the grass home first and tell my father."
