"That female beast is not a good person."

Chu Qi spoke sullenly.

"What's going on?"

Mei was stunned, and quickly stretched out a tiger paw to scratch Chu Qi's paw, quite curious.

"She asked me to give her our tiger tribe's winter food." Chu Qi sighed, "You said, even if it was just a rabbit or a fish, I would give it to her, but she wants more than half. Who can bear this? Doesn't she want to starve our people to death?"

In winter, it is icy and snowy outside, and the prey hides. Hunting is difficult in itself, and coupled with environmental restrictions, if you go out in this weather, you may accidentally fall into some holes or ice lakes, which makes hunting more difficult.

In such a difficult environment, the tiger tribe with stocks would naturally stay at home if possible.

If the inventory is handed over at this point and cannot be replenished in a short period of time, there is indeed a great risk that the tribe members will starve to death.

In the original plot, many old, weak, sick and disabled tigers died, and even young and middle-aged people died on the way to hunting because they went out to look for new prey.

Mei was full and began to feel sleepy. After hearing what Chu Qi said, her mental strength suddenly increased. She glared with tiger eyes and almost couldn't control her roar:

"What? You want most of our food?"

"Well, I didn't. She was so vicious. I decided I didn't like her anymore."

Chu Qi said with a sigh:

"Father is right. I'd better form a family with our tiger tribe."

She stretched out her paw and held down Mei's raised head:

"Don't be angry, go to sleep."

"How can I not be angry? If we give it away, what if the tribe members starve to death?"

Mei was very angry and panting heavily, but when Chu Qi pressed her paw on her head, Mei's anger suddenly subsided a little.

She looked at Lai with a new eye and praised him:

"Luckily you didn't give it away, otherwise we would have a hard time getting through the winter. That's great."

The two tigers leaned against each other and talked for a while.

Chu Qi rubbed her furry cheek against Mei's soft belly, then put her paws under her chin and slowly fell asleep.

——

The life of an orc is simple.

I only worry about three things: eating, protecting the tribe, and reproducing.

The orcs don't know how to farm or build houses, and their lives are very primitive.

Well, they were originally primitive orcs.

The tigers don’t like to move in winter. After eating, they go back to their caves to sleep.

The mission in this world is like a vacation to Chu Qi. The most dangerous part of the original plot is that the young patriarch secretly sends the stored grain away.

Now that she didn't send it, the biggest crisis for the tiger tribe has passed.

Chu Qi and Mei stayed in the cave and slept all winter.

It's really cold outside, which is not kind to the paw pads without fur to keep them warm.

For Chu Qi, staying in the cave was a double enjoyment.

It's warm and there's a furry tiger that you can touch and cuddle with. It's really great.

Mei gradually became familiar with Chu Qi.

When the not-so-long winter is over.

When the first spring breeze blows over the melting ice and snow, wild grasses grow in the wind, and spring is coming.

Spring is the season when all things come back to life and when animals reproduce.

Tigers usually give birth to cubs every three years, with one to three cubs born at a time.

Every time a female tiger gives birth to a cub, her uterus will close. She will only give birth to a second cub when the current one reaches adulthood at the age of three.

Tigers have a long lifespan, generally living sixty to seventy years.

Considering that tigers reach adulthood at the age of three, a tiger couple can usually give birth to ten cubs in their prime.

That day, Mei followed her instinct, sniffed Lai's fur ball, and gently bit it with her teeth.

Chu Qi was stretching when she was startled by Mei's sudden action. She jumped three feet high and her eyes widened.

"Ah, why did you bite me?"

"Mother said this would stimulate your abilities." Mei seemed very worried. "Look, Hua is pregnant, but you haven't shown any signs of pregnancy yet. Is there something wrong with your body?"

"Uh..." Chu Qi changed into human form.

In human form, Lai is a tall man who is 1.95 meters tall, with yellow hair, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a muscular body.

Sitting on the green grass, Chu Qi waved Mei over and said, "I haven't decided to have a child yet."

After all, although she spent the entire winter with Mei, because Mei remained in beast form during that period, to Chu Qi, Mei was just a big cat.

Asking her to have a baby with Mao Mao now is really a test of her mentality.

Although the orcs here can transform into human form, if they have a choice, they will still choose beast form most of the time.

The human form is inevitably much weaker than the beast form.

Whether it is hunting or eating meat, it is more convenient to be in animal form.

Mei maintained the tiger form and sat beside Chu Qi.

Chu Qi touched the fur on her back and wanted to discuss with her, "Why don't we have a baby next year?"

"No, Hua already has a child, I want one too."

Mei was unhappy. Orcs have a simple mindset. Eating and reproduction are their lifelong pursuits. Now Chu Qi asked her to have another child next year. How could she compromise?

Looking at Chu Qi's human form, Mei seemed to have figured something out.

The next second,

The tigress next to Chu Qi turned into a woman with wheat-colored skin and a slender figure.

The woman had golden hair and a deep and beautiful face. She hugged Chu Qi:

"If you don't like tiger-shaped mating, then human-shaped mating is the best choice."

"Hey, don't..."

Chu Qi grabbed Mei's hand that was about to make trouble, "Let me think about it again..."

No, even if the big cat turns into a beautiful woman, I still can’t get over it in my heart!

"..." Mei was silent. She looked at Chu Qi steadily. Suddenly, she stood up, changed into a beast form again, leaped up with her powerful limbs, and ran away.

"plum?"

Chu Qi called her.

The tigress quickly turned into a small black dot and disappeared from Chu Qi's sight.

About half an hour later.

Chu Qi, who was daydreaming by the river, suddenly heard an earth-shattering roar.

"roar--"

The roar of an angry tiger came from afar, and Chu Qi's hair stood on end. This was the roar of the clan leader, his father!

I saw a big and strong tiger coming quickly from a distance. It could jump at least ten meters high and ran towards me majestically.

The mane on the tiger's head is extremely dense. As the tiger runs, the mane is blown backwards by the wind, and it is as smooth as if it had been treated with Rejoice.

"You bastard, you dare not have a baby with Mei? Are you still thinking about that foreign female?"

The big tiger came up to Chu Qi and slapped Chu Qi's head with its huge claws.

The solid slap made Chu Qi's eyes narrow and his neck involuntarily shrink back.

Soon, two female tigers arrived. One of the older females ran up and symbolically stopped the angry tiger:

"Be careful not to beat your kid to death."
