She lifted the hide, "Can you let go now?"

Shi Shen reluctantly let go of her hand.

Xi Lu turned her back to him, feeling the uncomfortable feeling, and tried hard to fall asleep.

Shi Shen reached out and patted her back gently, "If you have a stomachache, I'll rub it for you."

"No, just a little bit." Xi Lu gradually fell asleep under his patting.

Shi Shen gradually reduced the strength of the pats he was giving her on the back, and finally he withdrew his hand and walked out of the cave.

He went to find some strong-smelling stinky fruits and threw them around the cave to block out the scent coming from her body in case other males might smell it and come looking for her.

Back in the cave, the fire was getting smaller, so he added some branches.

Shi Shen transformed into beast form and lay beside her bed.

He didn't want an orc to sleep on a stone bed.

But she smelled really good, and he wanted to be closer to her, preferably to hold her in his arms as he slept, but he was afraid she would be angry.

Shi Shen closed his eyes wide awake, unable to fall asleep at all. He kept suppressing the urge to pounce on her that popped up in his mind.

Xi Lu woke up hungry in the middle of the night and sat up.

Shi Shen heard the noise and immediately transformed into a human form and stood in front of her.

A black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, and Xi Lu was startled.

Shi Shen paused, "Did it scare you?"

"A little bit. Why don't you go to bed?"

"I want to be closer to you. I don't want to sleep alone."

Xi Lu had nothing to say.

"Are you hungry? The fruits are buried in the ashes. They are hot."

"I'm hungry, but I want to go change."

Shi Shen heard this and took her away, brought her a new menstrual belt, and put her down in the bathroom. "Can you see?"

"By feeling." Can't you see that he can help her change? It would be really embarrassing.

Xi Lu called him after changing.

Shi Shen tensed his body and carried her back.

"What's wrong with you?" Xi Lu, who was being held in his arms, of course noticed that something was wrong with him.

"You smell so good, I want to pounce on you."

Xi Lu choked on his saliva.

What a lewd word.

"What did you say?"

"Females who are in their menstrual period or three days after their menstrual period will emit a scent that excites male orcs. You smell very good now."

"Are you sure you don't smell blood?"

"Yes, but it's more of a fragrance. It smells really good." Shi Shen went back quickly and placed her on the animal skin in front of the fire. He no longer walked slowly like before in order to hold her for a while longer.

He took out the fruits that had been stewed in the ashes, peeled them for her, put them on a plate on the small table next to her, and strode back.

Xi Lu looked at his back as he almost fled and pursed her lips.

Then she thought about what he was going to do, and her mind was filled with confusion.

After a good sleep, the feeling of stomach discomfort and bloating in the waist felt much better.

Shi Shen took a basin, poured water into it, quickly washed the menstrual strips with a bubble fruit, and then hung them on the protruding stone bar to dry.

Wait until the sun rises tomorrow and then take it out to dry in the sun.

Hearing his footsteps coming, Xi Lu lowered his head.

She never thought that one day she would be in such an embarrassing situation.

After Shi Shen came back, he sat in the corner, far away from her.

There was no trace of him beside her, Xi Lu looked up, followed his footsteps to find the big black shadow in the corner, and asked, "Why don't you come over?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to help but pounce on you." His voice was a little low.
