Chapter 22: The Return of the Troops

"Better? Can you do anything else?" Ba Feng looked at the tattered straw sandals under his feet, and the shock in his heart grew little by little.

Although this thing is very fragile on his feet, it may not be so fragile on females and cubs.

Especially in summer and winter, it can reduce their direct exposure to heat and cold.

"Yes, in addition to grass and vines, animal skins and wood can also be used. The shoes made in this way will be much stronger than straw sandals." However, it would be more complicated to use other materials, and Bai Yue couldn't make it for the time being.

"Did the Beast God teach you all this?"

Ba Feng's words inspired Bai Yue.

She nodded immediately: "Yes, it is the gift given to me by the Beast God."

Since she was going to pretend to be a fortune teller anyway, she wouldn't mind telling a lie or two.

This answer did not bring joy to Ba Feng. Instead, he squatted down and looked at Bai Yue.

"Madam, please don't do so much until the witch doctor comes back."

Bafeng's eyes were so serious that he didn't even notice the black ears popping out of his head.

"Why?" Bai Yue asked in confusion.

The news that she had received the gift from the Beast God was announced to the public last night.

Isn’t it too late to hide it now?

"The stray orcs who came last time haven't left yet. If they knew that you have received the gift from the Beast God and can create things they don't have, they would try every means to abduct you. I'm afraid they will enter the tribe when I'm not around." The stray orcs are also a headache for Bafeng.

Although his ability level is high, it is still difficult for him to protect Bai Yue from dozens of fists.

What's more, some of the wandering orcs are of high level.

Therefore, the only way to reduce the potential threat posed to her by stray orcs is to make them think that Bai Yue is an ordinary female.

Ba Feng's reminder was very necessary, and it made Bai Yue suddenly remember the plot of the original novel.

Because the heroine was reborn, a lot of ink was spent in the first few chapters to describe her experiences in her previous life.

This includes the heroine being imprisoned by stray orcs and giving birth to several cubs before being rescued.

Bai Yue couldn't help but tremble at the thought of the fate she might face.

"Then I'll leave the cave less often in the near future." Bai Yue looked at him and said.

The sky is big, the earth is big, but life is the most important.

Bafeng wanted to continue what she was saying when the sound of Xue's footsteps was heard outside the cave.

She brought tonight's dinner - roast meat and some sweet fruits.

"I wanted to make broth for you, but I failed several times, so I didn't make it." Xue put the food on the stone table and explained while staring at the cattails on the ground.

Bai Yue stood up swiftly and bent down to brush off the remaining grass debris on the animal hide.

"When I have time some other day, I'll teach you how to do it."

"Okay." Xue nodded, but did not leave as usual. Instead, she stared at the cattails on the ground and the straw sandals on Bai Yue's feet for a long time.

Then he asked, "Master Bai Yue, what is this?"

Bai Yue followed her gaze and looked at the straw sandals.

"Oh, these are straw sandals, made by Bafeng just now." Since Bafeng didn't want too many people to know that she could create, he had to be the creator.

"..." Ba Feng had never expected her to say that.

But facing Xue's suspicious gaze, he had to nod.

"Yeah, I did it."

"Do you have that brain?" Xue didn't believe it at all. If he had that brain, he wouldn't have waited until now to start doing it.

Seeing that there was a secret between the two, Xue stopped asking.

"The witch doctor will be back soon. You must not hide anything from him if there is anything between you." The latter part was said specifically to Bafeng.

There are more males than females in the White Fox Tribe, so even the witch doctor cannot monopolize a female.

Xue agreed to Bai Yue taking Ba Feng as her second beast husband, but the prerequisite was that he had to get the approval of the witch doctor.

What's more——

Xue looked at Bai Yue's slightly bulging belly again.

After a few seconds, she withdrew her gaze and said, "I'm going back first. Ba Feng, you must take good care of Master Bai Yue."

Bafeng said "hmm" and watched Xue leave the cave.

The animal skin on Xue's body has the scent of other orcs, and it seems that good things are about to happen to the orcs.

Bafeng turned his left foot back and was about to go back to the cave when he heard cheers coming from the foot of the mountain.

There were even a few wisps of white smoke floating up.

This is - the hunting party is back.

The White Fox Tribe would take turns sending out strong orcs to hunt every once in a while.

Each hunt could sustain the entire tribe for about a week.

"Ahhhh——" Cheers came from the foot of the mountain, gradually becoming louder and heavier.

It immediately attracted Bai Yue, who was in the cave and about to eat barbecue, out.

"Bafeng, why is the tribe so lively?"

"The hunting party is back."

At the foot of the mountain, Elder Baishui and the newly returned clan leader cried about the hardships they had experienced during this period.

"Chief, you're finally back. If you hadn't come back, our tribe would have been completely robbed by wandering orcs..."

Elder Baishui said this while wiping tears from his face that didn't exist at all.

The patriarch sat on a stone bench with his legs apart, exuding a natural wildness.

"Stray orcs? Isn't the witch doctor in the tribe? How come there are stray orcs coming in?"

When talking about this, Elder Baishui felt even more bitter.

"A few days after you left, the witch doctor took several orcs to the mist forest."

"Going to the Mist Forest? Why would he go to the Mist Forest for no reason? Could it be that he doesn't have enough spirit stones?" The clan leader asked in a deep voice.

The witch doctor has never been an orc who acts on impulse. He always has his own reasons for doing things.

"He has cubs."

"What?" The clan leader's voice rose, and he stood up suddenly, shaking the gravel on the cave. "Who is it?"

"Bai Yue."

"Bai Yue? How could it be her?" The clan leader frowned.

In his memory, Bai Yue was a female without a father or mother. She looked delicate, but had a willful and unruly personality. If she weren't a female, with her personality, she would have been expelled from the tribe long ago.

"That... I'm not too sure. Before the witch doctor left, he specifically told me that he hoped we would take care of Bai Yue while he was away."

The patriarch stroked his chin, thinking.

"What is the witch doctor doing in the mist forest?"

"He said he was going to find the tree of life."

"Tree of Life?" The patriarch's eyes suddenly darkened.

The tree of life, as the name suggests, its fruit contains extremely powerful vitality and can be used for treatment, life extension, and pregnancy protection.

Even an old orc who is on the verge of death can live for several more years by taking the fruit of the Tree of Life.

"Where is Bai Yue now?"

"On the mountain."

"The witch doctor's cave?"

"right."

"Ask her to come over tomorrow." The patriarch lowered his eyes, and the light coming from the side cast a shadow of his eyelashes on the bridge of his nose.

It also blocked the storms deep in the eyes.
