I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 291 They are all the same

Dark and deep, like a wild beast facing its prey, wanting to devour it whole; or like a lake so green it's almost black, wanting to drown people in it.

At first, when Yue saw Bai Ling's gaze, she would feel shy, want to hide, and wish that Ling's gaze would return to its gentle and smiling state.

But later, he no longer wanted to hide. Instead, he relaxed his mind and body and let himself fall into the deep, dark lake.

Moreover, it's not just Ling who does this; sometimes his gaze is like this when he looks at Ling.

The bright moon hung high in the sky, but because the branches and leaves overhead were too dense, the moonlight could only fall through the gaps between the branches and leaves, leaving most of the two people's bodies in darkness.

Just then, a sliver of moonlight fell on Bai Ling's head, and because the two were so close together, Yue could clearly see himself reflected in Ling's eyes.

Her own icy blue eyes darkened as she stared intently at the person before her, her eyes filled with an intense, unyielding love and an overwhelming possessiveness.

After realizing she had fallen for Ling, Yue understood one thing: love is selfish!

Because of his selfishness, even before a relationship was established, he said ambiguous things to the people in his clan and did things that would make people think too much, so that all the other people in the clan who had feelings for Ling would back down.

Because of his selfishness, he had a deep possessiveness and desire to control Ling. As long as he stayed in the tribe and didn't go out, Ling would definitely be with him. Ling had to tell him in advance what she wanted to do. Except for sleeping at night, even if the two were temporarily separated, he had to keep track of Ling's whereabouts at all times.

He wouldn't even let Ling clean their house alone; she had to clean it with him.

He appears aloof on the surface, but is actually quite selfish inside, and Ling is just like him.

Ling appears sunny and gentle. He never loses his temper with any of the orcs in the tribe and tries his best to help them. However, when facing him, Ling is like a different person, domineering and selfish. As long as he is in the tribe, Ling wants to keep track of his movements at all times. Moreover, in the tribe, Ling intentionally or unintentionally isolates him from his interactions with other young male orcs.

Although Ling did it very discreetly, Yue could still sense it. Whenever there was something that required gathering with the tribe members, Ling would stand beside him, separating him from the younger males.

This might have been Ling's intention, or it might have been Ling's subconscious, but Ling had never told him to have less contact with the young males in the tribe, so Yue pretended not to know.

They were actually the same; they both wished they could devour each other whole and keep each other by their side forever.

Yue stretched out her hands and firmly embraced Bai Ling's waist, causing Bai Ling's body to move a little closer to Yue.

Yue stared intently into Bai Ling's eyes, and he noticed that because of his action, the deep, dark color in Ling's eyes seemed to intensify.

Yue smiled with satisfaction.

"Ling, we're about to part ways. Can you kiss me?" Ripples appeared in Yue Bing's blue eyes, like ice melting into spring water. "I'll miss you after I leave."

“I think about it every day, every moment,” Yue seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly changed the subject, “Every moment is not enough, I can’t be distracted when I’m hunting.”

“I think about you all the time except when I’m hunting.”

"Ling, will you miss me?"

The moon's answer was a kiss.

The kiss started off gently, just rubbing and licking, but slowly it turned into biting and plundering, making Yue almost breathless.

*

When they parted, Bai Ling and Yue's lips were a little swollen, and their breaths were erratic and hot. Bai Ling hugged her lover with both arms and buried her face in her lover's neck.

His hot breath hit Yue's skin, causing her skin to tremble and her legs to feel weak.

Yue leaned against the tree trunk, trying his best to calm his breathing, but his lover was right in front of him, skin to skin, hair to hair. He was holding his lover's waist, and his lover was holding his shoulders and back. How could he possibly calm his breathing in this situation?

Yue said softly, "Ling, let go of me first. It's getting late, we need to go back."

Bai Ling's voice sounded muffled: "No, Yue, you're going to be gone for so long, let me hold you a little longer."

Yue stopped talking, because he also couldn't bear to let Ling go.

The two embraced like that, staying under the tree for quite a while without showing any sign of separating. The moon in the sky had moved quite a distance, and the spot of light shining down from above had also changed position; it was originally above Bai Ling's head, but now it was above the moon's head.

The chirping of insects filled the air, like a beautiful melody, blessing the loving couple.

Although the crops have all been harvested, the work in the fields has not decreased.

The orcs have already experienced the benefits of farming. Bai Ling plans to lead the orcs in the tribe to dig a ditch so that water from the stream can be diverted to the edge of the fields. If heavy rain causes flooding, the water in the fields can also be drained out through the ditch.

This is no easy task; to accomplish it, we must first persuade Zhan.

When Zhan heard Bai Ling's idea to dig ditches along the edges of the fields, he was a little confused about why she wanted to do that. Bai Ling then explained her idea, and Zhan quickly understood. She asked, "You mean we can divert river water into the ditches so that we can irrigate the crops when it's not raining, and if it rains too much, the water can flow out through the ditches so the crops won't be flooded?"

Bai Ling nodded. The weather these past two days has been favorable, with neither drought nor flood, and the harvest has been quite good. However, the future is uncertain. Agriculture is inseparable from digging ditches and building water conservancy projects. Now that the crops have been harvested, the orcs remaining in the tribe have nothing to do, so they can go and dig ditches.

Moreover, Bai Ling had an even bigger idea in mind: with the tribe relying on such a large river, they could accumulate some experience and build larger water conservancy projects, thus opening up more fertile land.

Zhan agreed: "Tomorrow I'll gather everyone together and have the orcs, who have nothing else to do, dig ditches with you. Oh, by the way, what tools will we need?"

"A hoe, a shovel, a cart, and a basket—you only need these four things."

He had already planned the route of the ditch, starting from the stream and ending in the depression. During droughts, the stones by the stream could be opened to release water, and during floods, the water could flow from the ditch to the depression. In this way, whether it was a drought or a flood, the crops could benefit from this ditch.
