Chapter 271 How to Pursue You
In fact, not only Zhu was curious, but Yue's grandfather and great-uncle were also very curious. The two old men had watched Yue grow up and they knew what kind of personality Yue had. When many males had pursued her in vain and Yue even said that she would not find a partner for ten years, the two old men even thought that their most beloved grandson was very likely to die alone.
This is not uncommon in the orc world; every tribe in the vicinity has orcs who live alone without finding a partner.
This is also a way of life for orcs. Although the two old people were anxious and regretful, they never urged Yue to find a partner, nor were they angry because Yue did not intend to find a partner.
Orcs are loyal, devoted, and stubborn in matters of the heart. If they cannot find a partner with whom they are willing to spend their lives, they would rather live a solitary life.
Yue's personality is truly aloof; he only becomes gentle when facing family and close friends. Towards others, especially males who are pursuing him, Yue's attitude is as cold as ice.
How can someone with this attitude find a life partner?
To the surprise of the two elderly people, Yue actually found a partner, and their relationship was very, very good. When Yue was with Ling, his attitude was completely different from when he was with the males who pursued him. He would smile at Ling, stare at Ling with shining eyes, and even when Ling was not around, Yue's words were always about Ling.
The two elderly people were both pleased and curious. They were pleased that their grandson had found a partner to spend his life with, and curious about how Ling had won over their grandson.
However, the two elders had never asked before, but Zhu asked today, and the two elders were also very curious. Yue's great-uncle also asked, "Yue, how exactly did Ling win you over? So many men used various methods to pursue you before, but you weren't moved. Did Ling have a special method?"

Compared to the orcs who displayed their strength and bravery before him, Ling's pursuit was indeed unique.
Yue then thought of the reason why she had truly cared about Ling for the first time: Ling, filled with trepidation, nervousness, unease, and pleading, came to her and asked her to run slower on the road so that he would not attract so much attention in the group.
Ling appeared weak at the time, but he also possessed the pride of an adult beastman. After learning about Ling's past experiences, Yue couldn't help but feel a little protective towards this beastman who had once been a fool but had suddenly regained his senses and even found a lot of food for the tribe.
Because of this small desire to protect the weak, he and Ling grew closer and closer. Later on, as long as he didn't go out hunting, the two were almost inseparable.
At first, he didn't realize that he was getting too close to Ling. By the time he realized it, he already had different feelings for Ling.
Yue lowered his head slightly, his long eyelashes trembling. He gently pursed his lips and then recounted how the two of them met, became friends, and grew to know each other.
This is not something that can be explained in a few words. Yue tried to keep it simple, but the two old people and Zhu were still captivated.

When Bai Ling arrived home, everyone was there. Feng and Cang were preparing dinner, and Chen was feeding the livestock in the backyard.
Knowing that Bai Ling had returned, Chen immediately put down what he was doing and ran over from the backyard, eagerly taking the handcart that Bai Ling was pushing.
There were three baskets on the handcart. Chen was very curious about what Bai Ling had brought back. He craned his neck to look into the baskets and found that they contained several pottery jars.
"Brother, what's in the jar?" Chen took out a ceramic jar, opened it, and found that it contained a dark liquid that didn't smell very good.
Bai Ling said, "This is called brine, and it's used to make tofu. You can't eat it like this; it will cause poisoning."
Upon hearing Bai Ling say that they couldn't eat it like that, Chen immediately covered the pottery jar with its lid.
"Father, put this away and make sure no one touches it," Bai Ling said. "When I have time, I'll make you some tofu."
Chen asked, "Brother, is the tofu delicious?"
Bai Ling: "It's delicious. We made fish stew with tofu yesterday, and it tasted pretty good."
If Bai Ling said something was delicious, it must taste really good. Chen immediately felt a surge of anticipation for the tofu and said, "Brother, let's make tofu tomorrow. I can help you."
Feng laughed and said, "All you know is how to eat. Your brother will definitely make it. There's no rush."
Chen retorted, "The sooner we make tofu, the sooner we can eat it. Father, don't you want to taste what tofu tastes like?"
Bai Ling agreed: "Then I'll make tofu tomorrow. Let's make some soft tofu first, we can make it into a cold dish or stir-fry."
Chen was really looking forward to the fish stew with tofu that his older brother had mentioned. He said, "Tomorrow I'll catch two fish and we'll make fish stew with tofu too."

Bai Ling first went to the backyard to check on the livestock and birds. The livestock were still the same as before. Some of the birds were in good spirits, but two of them were listless and didn't eat much.
Bai Ling walked over and picked up the two birds to take a look. The two birds looked weak and listless, as if they wanted to run away but couldn't. Bai Ling didn't know what to do, so he could only catch some insects for them tomorrow and see if that would help.
After looking at the livestock and birds, Bai Ling went to the main room to see the silk her father had woven. The silk was already four or five meters long, and its color was a light off-white. Although it was a thin layer, it seemed to glow in the room.
Bai Ling glanced at it a few times, then covered it up again with the animal hide.
Feng treasured these silks very much. He was afraid that the silks would get dusty if left out, so when he wasn't working, he would cover the silks with animal hides.
Bai Ling took some candy from the storage room, told her father that she was going to eat at the Yue family's house, and then walked happily towards the Yue family's house.
Most of the time, Bai Ling would jump over the fence in the backyard of the Yue family, and this time was no exception. He started running when he was still two meters away from the fence, then jumped, landed, and in the blink of an eye, Bai Ling was in the Yue family's yard.
Like other families in the tribe, the Yue family's backyard was also planted with vegetables and fruits. Bai Ling walked through the lush green vegetable patches and arrived at the front yard.
He didn't even go into the main room, but instead went straight to the kitchen. Yue and Zhu were busy in the kitchen; Zhu was slicing the dried meat he had brought, and Yue was picking vegetables.
Upon seeing Bai Ling arrive, Yue said, "Ling, how should we eat this dried fish? My brother said it's very salty and needs to be soaked before eating."
Zhu brought the best-tasting fish from their tribe. This fish was only the size of a palm, but it tasted incredibly delicious. The beastmen in the tribe loved to eat this fish. A lot of salt was added during the drying process, so it was definitely not good to eat it like that.
