Lin Shanyue asked in surprise, "Isn't he an orc from Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain?"

"Of course not, we don't have any beastmen that weak in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain."

Although the orc's words were not meant to be derogatory, but were merely stating facts, Lin Shanyue interpreted them as something entirely different.

Thinking about Su Shiwei's unusual behavior towards Su Tang, she seemed to understand something.

Would he really leave his tribe and separate from his family in pursuit of a female with little hope of finding a match?

Lin Shanyue suddenly felt a sense of admiration for Su Shiwei.

In human tribes, women are merely reproductive tools. If it weren't for her father being the chief, a woman her age would have already given birth to child after child.

She had never seen a man go to such lengths for a woman.

Lin Shanyue couldn't help but take another look at this infatuated male.

She suddenly realized that staying in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain wasn't so bad after all.

The orcs, whom humans vehemently condemn as savage and brutal, are actually more loyal and compassionate than any human.

Thinking of this, Lin Shanyue suddenly turned around and ran back to the cave where she lived.

...

Su Shiwei was pondering how to gather the materials needed to build the railway when she came to her senses and realized that she was not on the way back to the stone house.

Because the snow season had come so many times, he unconsciously walked to the outside of Lin Shanyue's cave.

He turned around, preparing to leave.

"Wait a moment!"

Lin Shanyue was also somewhat surprised to see Su Shiwei outside the cave, and then ran up to him.

One hand was hidden behind his back, and the other was tightly clutching his chest as he gasped for breath.

She had just run all the way up the mountain, and was now a little exhausted.

Seeing her flushed cheeks and fine beads of sweat on her forehead, Su Shiwei's eyes narrowed, and the materials in her mind vanished instantly. She subconsciously asked, "What's wrong? Are you injured?"

Lin Shanyue shook her head, unable to speak due to heavy breathing, and directly reached out to take Su Shiwei's hand.

Su Shiwei's pupils narrowed to a straight line, her body stiffened on the spot, staring blankly at Lin Shanyue.

What is she going to do?

Just as I was thinking this, something cold was suddenly shoved into my hand.

"Here, this is for you." Lin Shanyue put the item in her hand and withdrew her hand, finally speaking haltingly.

Su Shiwei then realized that she just wanted to give him something.

Recalling her recent daydream, Su Shiwei coughed lightly to cover her embarrassment and asked in a puzzled voice, "What is this? What am I supposed to do with it?"

He wasn't so narcissistic as to think Lin Shanyue was giving him a gift.

"This is...it's my pet. If you ever encounter danger, just throw this out, and it will help you," Lin Shanyue explained, slightly out of breath, as she recovered a bit.

"You raised it?" Su Shiwei hadn't understood Lin Shanyue's meaning yet. Seeing a small, round stone bottle in his palm, about half the size of his palm, he became even more curious.

Upon opening the lid, what came into view was a scorpion, its body as red as a jewel and the size of a little finger.

Upon noticing the lid was open, the little scorpion immediately opened its two large pincers and hooked its needle-like tail behind it.

Su Shiwei paused for a moment, then snapped the lid back on.

This is clearly a highly venomous scorpion.

What a lovely girl, why would she keep such a thing?!

"Why...why did you give me this?" Su Shiwei asked hesitantly. Could it be that he knew she had tricked him and wanted to kill her for revenge?

“I heard that you are weaker than the orcs of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. If you encounter danger, it can help you kill your enemies. You helped me, and I have nothing to repay you with, so I will use this as a token of my gratitude.”

Using a highly venomous scorpion as a thank-you gift is really unnecessary...

He feared that one day the lid might not be closed tightly enough, and he might die before anyone else was poisoned.

Seeing that Su Shiwei remained silent, Lin Shanyue thought that she had hurt him with her words, and quickly explained:

"I... I didn't mean you were weak. I don't know how you orcs judge strength, I just thought this might help you."

"Don't worry, I've raised this dog since it was a puppy. It recognizes my scent. As long as you have my things with you, it won't bite you."

Lin Shanyue stretched out her hand again, revealing a snow-white wolf tooth strung together with thin animal sinew in her palm.

If it weren't for this thing, she and Lin Jiang and the others would never have been able to travel from the human race to the beast race.

"That way, those orcs won't say you're weak."

Hearing Lin Shanyue's words, Su Shiwei felt even more confused.

If he understood correctly, this girl wanted to help him improve his "combat power"?

“I don’t care what the other orcs say. Just take it back. How can I take your things?”

Although she didn't understand Lin Shanyue's thought process, Su Shiwei still didn't intend to accept it.

Lin Shanyue thought that Su Shiwei was too embarrassed to admit that he was weak.

He insisted on pushing the things over, saying, "If you don't strengthen yourself, how will you compare with the King in the future? I can see that A-Tang is not a beastman who cares about strength, but you also need to have the ability to protect yourself and strive to be worthy of her."

They were afraid that Su Shiwei would be discouraged and give up on herself after the blow.

Su Shiwei was completely confused.

Compared to Hu Shen?

What does he compare to his brother-in-law?

Is he not worthy of being Tangtang's older brother?

Seeing Su Shiwei's confused expression, Lin Shanyue became a little anxious.

This orc usually seems quite intelligent, but now he looks like a blockhead!

She said it directly:

"You like the king's mate, but if you don't become stronger, how will you compete with the king?"
