Song Sanniang was an inconspicuous demon cultivator in the cultivation world. Although weak? Pitiful? Unloved? She still lived a carefree life.
One day, she didn't know what crazy fit her...
On the continent of Noah, the orcs of each tribe will have a witch doctor who is also the priest of the tribe as their witness on the day they become partners. The priest will babble and pray to the beast god to protect the orcs who have formed a bond.
Then each pair of orcs cut their fingers in the stone bowl and drank the water together in the presence of their tribesmen.
Finally, the newlyweds would entertain their tribesmen with the food they prepared. However, the tribe had so many people that it was unrealistic for a couple to prepare so much food. So it gradually evolved into a unified ceremony for all the beastmen who were going to hold a ceremony to become partners in the near future.
Three days passed quickly, and soon it was the day of the contract-making ceremony.
The morning was no different from usual. The orcs did what they were supposed to do, except that those who went out hunting came back early at noon, and they still had lunch at home.
In the afternoon, under the instructions of the witch doctor, several orcs from the several covenanted families came out to clean the altar in the center of the tribe, but Song Sanniang was also very busy now.
She was cooking meat with several other females. Four of them were responsible for roasting the meat, and three were responsible for cooking the soup. Song Sanniang was the one in charge of cooking the soup.
She can eat, but she can't cook deliciously, not to mention that there is a lack of seasonings in the Orc Continent. Just stewing everything in a big pot and adding some salt to season it is a dish, which requires more technical skills, which she just doesn't have.
But this was before, Serwin probably noticed her embarrassing situation and stuffed a few fruits into her hands. When Song Sanniang saw the dark green skin, her eyes immediately lit up.
It turned out to be unripe motherwort fruit, which tastes similar to lemon in the modern world. It is a great tool for removing fishy smell and enhancing flavor.
She had never imagined that the fruits that Luo Er had picked before were all golden and ripe, with sweet flesh and full of juice. She had always liked them.
Ripe motherwort is very popular among female orcs.
However, near the tribe, the motherwort fruits that the gathering team could pick would be quickly divided up after they ripened. Only in the forest were there undiscovered fruit trees, and some male orcs would specifically look for its traces when hunting.
After finding it, he secretly picked the fruit to please the female orc. Perhaps it was just this small gesture that persuaded the female he liked to agree to become his partner. There were also successful stories in the passed down stories...
Song Sanniang was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears, and she smiled gratefully at Serwin.
Sewen held a fruit in his hand and showed Song Sanniang the usage process.
Song Sanniang followed her and cut a hole with a sharp stone blade, then squeezed it hard to squeeze the juice in. Then she followed her example and squeezed one into each of the large stone pots in front of her, and then stirred it evenly.
Soon, the painful process was over and the soup in the pot was ready.
At dusk, witnessed by many tribesmen, Song Sanniang, Canitus and four other pairs of orcs listened to the priest's prayers, which were basically praying to the beast god to protect the tiger tribe and help them safely through the snow season.
May the pregnant females in the tribe give birth to cubs safely... and finally may Song Sanniang and her family spend the rest of their lives happily together.
Then, at the signal of the priest, the five couples began to cut their hands and let the blood.
Song Sanniang pinched her fingertips hard, and a drop of blood dripped into the bowl, merging with the unknown liquid inside. Then, Canitus began to bleed.
Then they divided the bowl of soup stained with their blood into half each.
After drinking it, Song Sanniang savored the taste and found it quite good, without any bloody smell.
Of course, she dared to drink it because the 108 scan had confirmed no problems. It was just a bowl of medicinal soup that was beneficial to the orcs' bodies and had some other minor effects.
We'll probably know the effect tonight. Song Sanniang glanced at Canitus silently, and when she saw him looking at her, she smiled unusually gently.
After this step, the most lively and popular step comes - dancing around the campfire, eating food prepared by the newlyweds, and it is also a carnival for all orcs in the tribe.
Song Sanniang pulled Canitus towards where Roll and the others were, and greeted Serwin on the way.
Roll pulled Bis to make some space for them.
Song Sanniang and Canitus sat down, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief. They had been smiling all the way. They were all tribesmen they met often and had a good relationship with. They couldn't keep a straight face when others gave them blessings.
The funniest thing was that some Am pulled her aside to talk about their previous 'experiences'.
Although Song Sanniang wanted to pretend to be innocent, her brain that understood the girl in seconds did not allow it. She imagined the scene of what the other party said directly in her mind.
Luo Er kept adding meat to Song Sanniang's bowl. "Eat more, eat more. You killed all of these with great effort. Even if we can't just eat our money back, we should at least be full."
She did not neglect Canitus, and brought him a piece from time to time, but later Bis took over this task.
Kanitus was flattered and expressed his gratitude, but he did not move. He followed the gaze that was hard to ignore and met the eyes of a male orc.
After seeing the complexity and unwillingness in the other person's eyes, he suddenly gave him a provocative smile, then looked away.
It was obvious he was the loser. Thinking about his face, which was prettier than a woman's, and his thin body, he retracted his previous judgment. Perhaps in his partner's eyes, they were not even comparable. It was unrequited love...
Just as I was thinking about it, a piece of meat was suddenly stuffed into my mouth.
"What are you thinking about? If you don't hurry up, you won't have anything to eat, huh."
Song Sanniang was a little unhappy. If she didn't eat enough now, would she be able to eat later? She never looked in the direction of Gray from beginning to end.
Canitus was happy in his heart and showed it on his face.
Luo Er watched the two of them interacting with each other, and her eyes became red again, but it was not obvious under the light of the fire. Just when she felt both sad and happy, a hand appeared on her shoulder.
Bis held Roll in his arms and comforted him softly.
After everyone dispersed, it was already dark. After Song Sanniang and Roerbis said goodbye, she took Canitus' hand and returned to their house.
As the stone door closed, it became quiet outside the house.
Inside the house, Song Sanniang looked into Canitus' eyes. Even in the darkness, she could still clearly see the tension on the other's face.
A light laugh sounded in the house. Song Sanniang felt that if Canitus took the initiative, they would probably still be wearing their animal skins by dawn.
Song Sanniang slowly approached, and Canitus slowly retreated. Suddenly, something behind him tripped him, and he lost his balance. In panic, he grabbed Song Sanniang's hand.
They both fell onto the bed.
Song Sanniang felt the violent heartbeat and the sound of swallowing water in the body beneath her. The night had just begun.
