Chapter 45 The Beastmen in a Special Period

"So the reason you're here is because you're in heat?" Su Yun was very surprised to hear this answer.

She never imagined that beastmen had such a thing as a mating season.

Rose, who was struggling with a chicken leg bone, told her all this.

Rose's teeth seemed quite strong, capable of crunching the thick chicken leg bone with a loud crack. She seemed to really enjoy gnawing on bones, and was drinking the chicken soup Su Yun had brought while chewing the chicken bones with gusto.

She first chewed the bone to pieces, then slowly took a sip of soup and said gently, "Yes, this is very normal among beastmen. In their first spring after reaching adulthood, beastmen enter their first heat cycle, also known as the courtship period. Beastmen emit a special scent that is also a courtship scent, attracting their other half. Then, the two people who are attracted to each other can happily spend the heat cycle together." After saying that, she winked at Su Yun, the implication being very obvious.

"Pleasantly? Passed through your heat cycle?" Rose, who was usually so outspoken, was suddenly speaking so subtly, which surprised Su Yun. With a questioning look, she tentatively asked, "You mean that?"

“Yes, you know what I mean.” Rose winked and gave a knowing smile, “Orcs have a really tough time during their heat cycle. It’s so uncomfortable if they don’t take care of each other.”

"Uh...wait a minute, didn't you just say spring? But it's summer now." Su Yun asked, puzzled.

"Sigh, what can I do? I got lost in the mountains and wandered around for ages. Spring was almost over, and I still hadn't found anyone. I was getting really frustrated. I finally caught a whiff of a scent around here, so I rushed over here. I was just about to climb over the wall when I got stuck..."

Ah, the orc beauty they rescued is named Rose. Like Nightwind, she is an orc, with triangular ears and a tail. At first glance, the two look very similar, but upon closer inspection, there are subtle differences. In other words, they seem to be different species.

Rose's ears are rounded, thicker, larger, and furrier, while Night Breeze's ears are relatively smaller and pointed.

Furthermore, the two tails are different. Night Breeze's tail is relatively thin and long, and soft overall, while Rose's tail is slightly shorter, like a broom, and droops slightly.

"By the way, what breed are you?" Su Yun looked at the other person's ears with some curiosity.

Rose, however, picked up the bowl, contrary to her usual poised and surprising demeanor, her eyes darting away as she buried her head in her soup, pretending not to hear.

Su Yun sized up the other woman's appearance; she was undeniably a stunning beauty. He just couldn't understand why Ye Feng was so resistant to her. Sure enough, he had gone out to feed the chickens again.

She looked him up and down, and finally concluded: "Hmm? He looks a bit like a wolf and a bit like a fox? I just don't know which one he is. By the way, your species should be different from Ye Feng's, right? Can different species live together?"

Upon hearing this, Rose stopped drinking her soup, put down her bowl, and said anxiously, "Why not?! I'm not that much different from him!"

"Not much difference?" Su Yun looked the tail up and down, wagging like a broom, her eyes filled with suspicion. "Ah! Could it be..."

Rose rudely interrupted her, "Stop talking! Whatever it is, it doesn't matter. What's important is to quickly persuade the handsome young man that the night is too short to pass quickly and let's have some fun! Don't waste time, his heat is almost over!"

As she spoke, she boldly lifted her red skirt, revealing her long, slender, snow-white legs.

Su Yun was speechless again.

The orc who suddenly appeared was actually very beautiful and elegant, with bright eyes and white teeth. She was estimated to be over 1.75 meters tall, with long legs and a slim waist. She wore a bright red fitted dress and had long, straight black hair that reached her waist. When she didn't speak, her profile was clean and sharp, and she had a cold and aloof temperament, definitely a cool and aloof queen. Unfortunately, her temperament was completely ruined as soon as she opened her mouth.

Why does such a beautiful woman keep trying to flirt with men all day long, especially while driving a beat-up car?

His mouth is full of cheesy, nonsensical pickup lines.

It was simply unbearable to look at and hear.

"Stop talking! If you keep going, it'll get censored!" Su Yun sighed, the pretty woman speechless.

Looking at the mature woman opposite her, who was constantly lifting her skirt to fan herself, she finally couldn't take it anymore. She grabbed the woman's restless hand and pleaded, "Please, stop moving around. Ye Feng doesn't seem to be in heat to me. Maybe you're just smelling something wrong?"

"How could that be! Anyone could misjudge, but I could never misjudge. How could I possibly misjudge? Wouldn't that ruin our reputation..."

Realizing she had almost let something slip, Rose suddenly stopped talking, covered her mouth, and said firmly, "Impossible! I could never be wrong! He's starting to emit pheromones, though it's faint, but it's definitely there!"

"Ah?" Su Yun carefully sniffed the faint, cool pine scent in the air. It was the scent emanating from the rose, a light woody fragrance with a hint of cool pine, which suited her aloof appearance perfectly.

"But I really didn't smell anything special about him."

"Of course you humans aren't sensitive to pheromones, it's just a difference in species, an inherent deficiency." Rose fiddled with the chopsticks in her hand, her expression calm.

"Congenital deficiencies?"

Su Yun was stunned. Although she had vaguely guessed before that orcs were actually an evolution of humans, a genetically modified version, she was still a little surprised when someone told her this clearly for the first time.

However, although only one person has said this so far, and there is no direct scientific data or information to refer to, after getting to know them, Su Yun honestly and fairly agrees with this conclusion, because overall, orcs do have stronger physical fitness.

But these are all digressions.

"But then again, he doesn't seem to have any special reaction to your pheromones! Could it be that he's underage, so... so he doesn't react?" Su Yun stammered out her guess.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who said you can't have sex if you're not in heat?" Rose glanced at her, a hint of surprise in her eyes. "How can you not even have this much common sense?"

Common sense? Su Yun was embarrassed. She was just a human being! And she was a transmigrator, so where would she get common sense from?

However, for the sake of his cat, having finally encountered a beastman who seemed to be of the same kind, Su Yun naturally couldn't let this opportunity pass and had to brush up on the "common sense" of this post-apocalyptic world.

So she adopted a humble and eager-to-learn posture, "Then please tell me in detail?"

"Say yes." Rose pushed the empty bowl forward. "Give me another bowl of chicken soup, and I'll tell you."

Well, even though this guy had already finished three bowls of chicken, Su Yun, who was "eager for knowledge," still brought her a fourth bowl.

Rose took the bowl of chicken soup, grabbed a chicken foot, and started crunching on it. While still chewing, she continued to mumble her explanation to Su Yun: "If you compare the orc's reproductive system to a piece of equipment, it's easy to understand. Equipment is innate; reproduction is a biological instinct. The equipment gradually matures, reaching full maturity in their teens. An orc's estrus cycle is simply entering a different stage that humans don't have. Our bodies secrete large amounts of hormones, prompting us to use them and make them function fully. The fact that they haven't entered a special period doesn't mean they lack the ability. As long as it's consensual, it's a happy thing, so why not? Don't you think so?" Rose winked meaningfully at her, looked up, finished the bowl of mushroom and chicken soup in one gulp, and let out a long sigh, "Ah! So delicious! Another bowl, please!"

Su Yun glanced at the pot, which was now almost empty: ...

“It’s all gone!” Su Yun pointed to the empty pot bottom, then looked at the table; there wasn’t even a bone left.

The beautiful woman in front of her once again broadened her horizons.

"You...you can eat so much! I haven't even had breakfast yet!" Su Yun exclaimed in astonishment.

In order to find out the whole story, Su Yun sat here early in the morning to interrogate the guy, who kept complaining about being hungry and pestering Ye Feng.

Su Yun heated up the leftover chicken soup from yesterday, which finally calmed the person down.

I never expected such a beautiful girl to have such an amazing appetite.

"Ah! You think I barely ate anything during my entire heat cycle? I was completely listless, my legs were weak, and I was hiding in the cave, just barely getting through it. It was only when the heat was almost over that I was finally able to come out, and it was really not easy to find a decent male here! What is he dawdling about? Ah, his name is Night Wind, right? Night Wind, Night Wind, where are you? Hurry up and finish this!"

As she spoke, she threw down the bowl and prepared to go out to look for the night breeze again.

Su Yun was speechless again. Good heavens, they can't even figure out a person's name, yet they want to have close contact? Is the estrus cycle of orcs really that terrible?!

Su Yun was shocked!

That won't do!

Seeing that Rose had eaten and drunk her fill and was starting to think about other things, Su Yun quickly stopped her and began to patiently persuade her, "I think Ye Feng doesn't seem to have any feelings for you. It's not good to force yourself on him, is it?"

Actually, she wasn't the kind of parent who was closed-minded. If the kittens were willing, she would be happy to help them find a good match. Unfortunately, as things stand, Ye Feng is very resistant to this and has even run away.

Su Yun felt it was necessary for her, as a parent, to mediate, so she stammered and awkwardly advised, "Well... Rose... forcing things won't work... do you think you should find someone else?"

Rose:? ? ? !

"Other partners? Are there any other beastmen within hundreds of miles? The last heat cycle is coming soon, and I can't wait until then to find someone else. Besides, he's started releasing pheromones. What if his heat cycle comes? Where will I find other females then..."

"Uh, speaking of which... can't we just use our hands to solve this?" Su Yun finally asked the question with a strange expression. Why is it that when a TV is poisoned by love, the female lead has to offer herself to cure it? Can't we just solve it ourselves? Similarly, isn't it the same now?

This question had been troubling Su Yunxiao for a long time, and now she finally asked it.

"I didn't expect you to know so much! It's possible, but the effect isn't lasting; it can only temporarily suppress it... Sigh, after all, we're human, different species. You wouldn't understand what it feels like to have an attack..." Rose sighed, clutching her chest with lingering fear, "Heaven knows how many times I soaked in cold water to get through it."

He glanced at her, a hint of pity in his eyes, and said, "Well, you're still young... you don't understand..."

After speaking, he looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, his expression very melancholy.

Well, she didn't quite understand. Su Yun felt very frustrated.

"Alright then, if you can convince him, then do so." Su Yun originally planned to send her away as soon as she finished her meal, and then go her separate ways, but after hearing what she said, she changed her mind.

She couldn't help but worry about what the other person meant by the last heat cycle. If something unexpected happened to Ye Feng, it would be good to have someone who knew "common sense" to handle the emergency!

After much deliberation, Su Yun decided to let them stay for the time being.

When Ye Feng returned after feeding the chickens, he was surprised to see that Rose was still there. He frowned slightly and looked at Su Yun, puzzled: "Why is she still here?"

Su Yun looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, looking very melancholy: "Uh, that's a long story, a very long one."

"Then let's get straight to the point!" Ye Feng said decisively. He had been reading books recently and had already grasped the basic usage of idioms.

Ah! Not so easy to fool!

Su Yun lowered her head and mumbled, "There must be a reason why she stayed, something she had no choice but to do..."

“But I don’t like her,” Ye Feng said bluntly, shaking his head in opposition. “I don’t want her to stay here.”

Rose, who was about to flirt with a guy, heard these words and her heart shattered. She covered her face and ran away in tears, looking completely heartbroken...

Su Yun widened her eyes slightly, because it was really rare to see the kind-hearted Ye Feng so bluntly express that he disliked someone.

They even said they wanted the other person to leave.

"But, but, there's a reason for that! We might not be able to do without her..."

"What's the reason? Why can't it be? Whatever it is, I can help you... I... I... I don't want her to stay here..."

"Huh? This...this...how do I put it?"

Faced with Ye Feng's innocent and clueless expression, Su Yun was too embarrassed to reveal the reason. In the end, she could only vaguely say, "Anyway, there is a reason. I'll only stay for a few days, it's okay."

"Not even for a few days!" Ye Feng's attitude was unexpectedly firm.

It seems the kitten isn't so easily fooled. Su Yun had no choice but to patiently coax her, "Look, the roof has been trampled and the soup has been drunk. Wouldn't it be too easy for her to just let her go? We should at least get some compensation! Let her stay for a few days, fix the roof, and go back to hunt some wild chickens to pay off her debts, okay?"

"Look at this roof, it's in such bad shape... It's too good for her to not fix it!"

"And that pot of chicken soup..."

"Letting her go directly is too lenient..."

Looking at the rooftop, now a complete mess, and the pot, now spotless...

Yefeng, who always cherishes food and takes good care of his home's facilities, began to soften his expression.

Su Yun pressed her advantage and continued to persuade her: "Just a few days, just a few days, it won't be longer... okay? When have I ever lied to you? Once the roof is fixed, we'll let her go, okay?"

Night Breeze hung its head, clearly unhappy, and finally could only reluctantly nod, reluctantly agreeing, "Okay, just a few days..."

Author's Note:

After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to change the book title.

It's actually still a farming story, so I'll change the title to "Farming Story." I hope you all understand!
