Haitang blushed and glared at Dongfang Long. Shi Hu held a wine glass, which shattered with a crack. Dongfang Long looked at Shi Hu and said, "You haven't even started a family, and you haven't built a house. What nonsense are you talking about?"

"..." Uncle has already given in, why are you still so angry? When looking at Haitang, Dongfang Long felt a little innocent. He hadn't said anything wrong, but he wasn't stupid either. He obediently lowered his head and ate his food, serving Haitang food without saying a word.

Seeing that the noodles in the other person's bowl had all spilled into her own, Haitang reluctantly put them back in their bowl, saying, "You eat more, I can't eat too much."

"Tangtang..." Dongfang Long nodded happily. After he finished eating, he went to hunt for Tangtang. Dongfang Long shook his head. Her health wasn't bad. After years of conditioning, she had almost recovered.

So there was no stomach pain when her period came. She ate and drank as usual without any problems. However, at night, when she was sleeping, Xiaohe was hugging her older sister and said, "Sister... Dad is very angry."

"Yes, any parent would be angry if they found out their daughter had been abducted. But Dad still likes Xiaolong very much, otherwise he wouldn't have given in after just a few words from his sister," Haitang said.

Upon hearing this, Xiaohe nodded. "Sister... will you be happy in the future? Brother Xiaolong hasn't transformed into his beast form, so he might not be able to protect you or take care of you."

"What are you thinking? Your brother Xiaolong can't be that weak. He can protect me," Haitang said. Hearing this, Xiaohe nodded.

"Xiaohe, you're still young. You'll understand these things later." Xiaohe nodded when she heard this.

The villagers knew a lot about Haitang coming of age, and some people wanted to propose marriage, offering gifts in exchange for Haitang. However, Shi Hu stopped them, saying, "Tangtang already has a boyfriend."

The tribe members were stunned when they heard this and asked who it was. "It's Xiaolong from my family. These two children were together from the beginning, and I didn't stop them. Xiaolong is a good child."

When they heard this, the tribe members were incredulous. "Shi Hu, how could you do this? That's a human being. How could you let your daughter have a child with someone else? You're going to ruin your own daughter."

“Xiaolong can hunt on his own, so there’s not much to worry about. Besides… even if Xiaolong is human, he killed the beastmen, so he can protect Tangtang,” Shi Hu said.

Although many people found it hard to believe what Shi Hu had done—how could he have given his daughter away to someone else to have an unborn child?—and despite some people's objections, they couldn't force someone else's daughter to have one.

So they had no choice but to leave. The females in the village were all puzzled, wondering why Haitang had chosen Dongfanglong. Xiaoqiu and the others asked, "Haitang, don't be foolish. Why would you choose a human? Right now... you can choose any beastman in the tribe. I heard that Huoqiu's parents have a big intention for you and want you to be Huoqiu's female."

Upon hearing this, Haitang was slightly taken aback. Not far away, Guo'er, who was picking fruit with her head down, looked rather unpleasant and remained silent.

She had heard about this and had asked Huo Qiu about it. In Huo Qiu's words, "If she's willing, of course I'll take her. The Haitang people are smart and have a lot of ideas. They do things that are unexpectedly good. If she becomes my female, she can do a lot of things for the tribe in the future."

Guo'er heard this and felt a little bitter. She had asked Huo Qiu about his feelings for her, but Huo Qiu's answer was vague and not very clear. At this moment, Haitang smiled.

"When I meet Huo Qiu, we only talk about business. There's no affection between us. Besides, I don't like Huo Qiu at all. I think my Xiao Long is much better." Huo Qiu is too much of a tribesperson.

She was not fortunate enough to enjoy it. Although there was nothing wrong with the tribe, the problem was that after you got to know her, you could feel that in Huo Qiu's mind, the tribe came first and everything else came second.

Haitang admired Huoqiu's personality, but had no intention of suffering a loss or becoming Huoqiu's female. When Guo'er heard this, she was slightly taken aback, "What's wrong with Huoqiu?"

Haitang glanced at Guo'er, who was huffing and puffing. Haitang remembered that someone had told her that Guo'er and Huoqiu might be a couple. Haitang said, "It's not that it's bad, it's just a matter of liking or not liking. Just like you, Guo'er, if it's someone you like, you're the best in the world. Everyone chooses their own beastman, and they are basically the best."

"Yes, I also think my beastman is the best." Although he doesn't have the same abilities as others, as long as he loves his wife, that's all that matters. Guo'er blushed and lowered her head, not looking at Haitang.

Haitang didn't take the little girl's thoughts to heart. When she looked at Guo'er, she said, "Don't overthink it. The people in the tribe are probably afraid that I'll get married. But I can't get married, so it doesn't matter who I marry."

Guo'er nodded. Huo Qiu was also worried about Haitang getting married, but since the two of them were still in their own village, it didn't matter. So she nodded and started collecting.

When picking crabapples, we rode back in a carriage, washed a few of the fruits with water along the way, and ate them.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Dongfanglong had also hunted quite a few prey. When he returned with a smile, the surrounding orcs would tease him, asking if Dongfanglong could raise females now.

“I can definitely raise them. I can hunt. Even if I can’t transform into a beast, I can still pierce my prey with a bow and arrow,” Dongfang Long said. Upon hearing this, the orc looked at the prey, nodded, and didn’t say anything more.

Although there were quite a few days when people were jealous, they didn't really cause any trouble. To be honest, it's hard to say whether I like it or not.

Currently, Haitang has many admirers but few likers, so although she is jealous of Dongfang Long, she has never embarrassed him. With Shi Hu protecting him, Dongfang Long has not changed much.
