I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 263 Combing Hair

“Yue, I thought of that a long time ago,” Bai Ling said, pulling a comb out of his pocket. “I’ve brought out the comb from home. Let me comb your hair for you.”

Bai Ling really liked Yue's long, silvery-white hair. When they first met, the first thing Bai Ling noticed was Yue's long, silvery-white hair, which was as white as moonlight.

However, Bai Ling didn't have many opportunities to play with Yue's long hair. Even after the two confirmed their relationship, Bai Ling rarely had the chance to freely stroke Yue's soft long hair.

Today, such an opportunity has finally come, and Bai Ling is determined to seize it.

Yue sat obediently in front of Bai Ling. Bai Ling held a comb in one hand and gently lifted Yue's long, silvery-white hair with the other, slowly combing it from the top of her head.

Yue's long hair is very soft, and it can be combed directly from the roots to the ends, just like its owner, obedient and gentle, allowing the white-collar worker to do whatever she wants.

Bai Ling combed Yue's hair, then held all of her long, silvery-white hair in her hands. Next, Bai Ling combed Yue's hair again to make sure that all of her long hair was in her hands.

"Yue, give me the hairband," Bai Ling said, extending her hand to Yue. "I'll tie your hair up for you."

Yue handed the hair ribbon in her hand to Bai Ling behind her. Bai Ling held Yue's hair in one hand and the silk ribbon in the other. He wrapped the ribbon around Yue's hair twice, pulled it tight with a little force, and finally tied a knot.

Bai Ling walked around from behind Yue to the front, looked Yue up and down, and after a while, he still wasn't satisfied.

"Moon, the hairband is a bit too simple. It would be even better if it were inlaid with a jade or gemstone, or if it were embroidered with something."

A smile played in Yue's eyes as he reached out and touched the ribbon on his head. Although he couldn't see what the silk ribbon looked like, Yue was still extremely satisfied and happy.

He could imagine what the silk headband would look like on his head; it must be flowing and beautiful, complementing his long, silvery-white hair.

Besides, this was a gift from Ling. He would be overjoyed even if it were just a blade of grass by the roadside, let alone beautiful silk.

Yue raised her hand, touched the silk hair ribbon, and smiled, "Ling, I like it very much."

Bai Ling smiled and said, "Yue, after we've woven all the silkworm cocoons into silk, I'll make you a dress out of silk, okay?"

His eyes were fixed on the moon, and there was only the moon in them. The moon could sense Bai Ling's feelings, just as she felt that she had obtained something good and wanted to share it with Ling, and Ling also wanted to share something good with her.

Yes, it's not just sharing, but also a kind of proud, boastful act.

Yue made her request: "Then let's do it together."

Bai Ling: "Mm."

Yue then said, "I need to think carefully about what kind of clothes to make. Silk is so beautiful, what kind of clothes would look good with it? I don't know if clothes made in the same style as animal skin would look good."

Bai Ling glanced at Yue's figure and said with certainty, "Yue, you have such a great figure, you look good in any clothes."

Bai Ling was absolutely right. Yue has a great figure; she would look good even in a burlap sack.

Praised by his lover, Yue's smile widened. He thought for a moment and said, "Ling, make me a robe, the kind that looks like an animal skin robe. I think it's very beautiful."

Bai Ling: "Okay, then I'll make you a robe, but I have one request."

Moon: "What are your requirements?"

"Once it's finished, you have to be the first to wear it for me to see," Bai Ling made her request. "The clothes I made for Yue naturally have to be seen by me first."

The next morning, before Bai Ling's family had even eaten, the silk-reeling beastmen arrived.

Unlike yesterday, today those who came to help Bai Ling reel silk were mostly elderly beastmen and beastmen with physical disabilities. Children and cubs from the tribe also came.

Every orc who had ever seen silk was captivated by its beauty. Today, all the orcs went to the Greenwood Tribe to harvest silkworm cocoons.

Even though there was still work to be done in the fields, the beastmen temporarily put it aside, and all those who had the strength to continue went to the Greenwood Tribe.

Only elderly orcs who could not work for long periods of time stayed in the tribe to help Bai Ling's family reel silk, and also helped the orcs in the tribe take care of their children.

An elderly orc said, "They won't be back by noon; they'll be out picking silkworm cocoons all day."

Feng then asked, "So, all that's left of the tribe are us orcs?"

An elderly orc nodded: "It's just us left. Everyone else has gone out to collect silkworm cocoons."

Cai said, "Zhan said that we should eat together today, and we just need to go to the tribe to get dried meat and cassava."

Feng laughed and said, "Alright, let Ling cook lunch."

*

Not only the orcs of the High Tree Tribe, but also the orcs of the Green Wood Tribe who had free time went to harvest silkworm cocoons. The orcs of the Central Tribe also all went out. Except for the First Elder, who was too old to go, all the other orcs went. Even the Third Elder went to harvest silkworm cocoons with great energy.

Once a basket was full of silkworm cocoons, it was transported back by the Sky Orcs. To prevent confusion, each orc marked their own basket.

The baskets that were brought back were all placed at Bai Ling's house. In the end, Bai Ling's yard was too full to fit them all, so they had to be placed in the yard next door. It was almost dark when the beastmen who went to the Greenwood Tribe returned. They first went to see the silk woven by Bai Ling before finding their own baskets to go home.

Even though the Greenwood Tribe had plenty of mulberry and oak trees, as well as a lot of silkworm cocoons, with so many orcs gathering and searching together, it didn't take long for the silkworm cocoons to be almost completely harvested.

In addition, Bai Ling told everyone that not all the silkworm cocoons could be picked, otherwise there would be no silkworm cocoons next year. Everyone understood this, and after most of the silkworm cocoons had been picked, with only a few left, everyone stopped picking them.

Bai Ling brought out all the silk reeling machines, set up stoves in the tribe's square, and began teaching all the tribespeople how to reel silk.

The Greenwood Tribe also sent orcs to learn. Silk reeling is actually quite easy to learn. After Bai Ling demonstrated it a few times, the orcs learned how to reel, wind, and spin silk.

Compared to these, weaving is much more difficult, especially the preliminary preparations, which are the most difficult part and require a great deal of patience to thread all the warp threads.

The exhibition selected two of the best weaving skills from the beastmen to learn weaving from Bai Ling.

Bai Ling first demonstrated it to them, then cut all the threaded warp threads and made the two of them do it again themselves.

Following Bai Ling's demonstration, the two tied the silk threads one by one to the loom, passed them through the weaving holes on the loom, and then through two combs.
