Time flies and half a month has passed.

Mu Zhaozhao went from being worried at the beginning to living a stable life now.

That day, Bai Yingying returned to the cave at noon.

The cave was filled with fragrance and bubbles were bubbling in the iron pot. Mu Zhaozhao was stirring the pot constantly with a spatula to prevent the pot from getting burnt when the sauce was collected.

This afternoon, Mu Zhaozhao made five-spice stewed meat, which had been simmered in the pot over low heat for two hours and was at the critical moment of collecting the juice.

Mu Zhaozhao took the time to glance at her, "Yingying, wash your hands and go see Zizi. You'll be able to eat soon!"

"Okay."

After washing her hands, Bai Yingying took off the heavy animal skin and changed into a soft and light cotton suit, then she climbed onto the bed and got into the mosquito net.

The little bunnies gathered in groups of three or four to play. When they noticed something was happening, they jumped up and surrounded her, nuzzling around her and acting coquettishly.

After Bai Yingying had teased each of the little ones, Mu Zhaozhao called for dinner.

Two large stainless steel soup bowls were each filled with half of the white rice. A few spoonfuls of fragrant and soft stewed meat were scooped from the iron pot and poured directly on the rice.

Then they picked up a few chopsticks of stir-fried tender wild vegetables from the stove, each holding a big bowl and eating it with great relish.

The orcs had an incredible appetite, and even this wasn't enough to fill them up. They would always need more rice and meat. Meat was especially important; if they didn't eat enough, they would get hungry quickly.

So, except for resting at home when it rained heavily, Bai Yingying would go out hunting every day.

In fact, not much five-spice powder is used, but the stewed meat is salty and fragrant, and the texture is tender and soft, which makes people unable to stop eating.

Bai Yingying couldn't help but praise, "Zhao Zhao, your craftsmanship is getting better and better."

She taught Mu Zhaozhao only once, and later Mu Zhaozhao got better and better at cooking. With the same seasoning, his dish tasted much better than Bai Yingying's.

The emptiness in her stomach was filled, and her taste buds were satisfied. Bai Yingying couldn't help but sigh: "Now I am living a real life."

Only by cooking differently every day and no longer eating raw food did she feel like she was living like a human being.

Given the conditions, who wouldn’t want to live a more comfortable life?

"yes!"

Mu Zhaozhao echoed, and smiled proudly: "Who made me smart? I learn everything quickly."

"Yeah. You are better than your teacher." Bai Yingying smiled and thought of Lin Xia again.

When she taught Lin Xia how to weave bamboo baskets, Lin Xia learned very quickly and was able to apply what she had learned to other areas, soon surpassing her in craftsmanship.

Bai Yingying taught Mu Zhaozhao how to weave bamboo baskets in her spare time, but Mu Zhaozhao had no talent for weaving and couldn't learn it after trying several times.

However, when she was teaching Mu Zhaozhao, she made a small bamboo basket, intending to use it specifically for carrying her baby in the future.

"Yingying, how about we give the little ones names?"

Mu Zhaozhao pointed at the cubs on the bed, feeling a bit of a headache. "Two of them are particularly naughty, always trying to bite things. I really want to shout their names and beat them up!"

Bai Yingying came back to her senses and looked at the little bunnies jumping around on the bed.

Beat them by shouting their names? This was Mu Zhaozhao's way of giving them a perfect childhood.

She smiled and shook her head: "No need to give it a name..."

"Zhao Zhao, I have too many babies. Even if I give them names, I may not be able to remember or distinguish them. After I give birth to this one, I will find a rabbit hunting tribe and give the cubs to the tribe to raise." Bai Yingying explained.

"Is that so?" Mu Zhaozhao felt a little melancholy. She had raised all these kids by herself. Sometimes when she thought about it, she felt reluctant to let them go.

She thought about it again and realized something was wrong: "You only talked about the cub, but what about us? We won't stay in the rabbit hunting tribe?"

"I won't stay." After being abducted, Bai Yingying realized that she could give birth, which was not a good thing for the rabbit hunting tribe or herself.

She said quietly, "Zhao Zhao. Without the corresponding strength and status, I can't protect myself at all, nor can I freely decide whether to have children or not."

Mu Zhaozhao was stunned, thinking of Bai Yingying's fertility and ability to bear children.

She also understood that if she returned to the Rabbit Hunting Tribe, the news would always leak out. What would then await Bai Yingying would be constant competition from powerful people, or even imprisonment.

Thinking of this, Mu Zhaozhao became a little flustered and forced a smile: "Then let's not send the baby away. Let's just hide here and live there, and not have any more children in the future."

"That's too idealistic." Bai Yingying shook her head helplessly. "Zhao Zhao, it's not safe here. We two females have no right to refuse any male beastman stronger than us."

They are lucky, that's why they have lived in peace for so long.

In fact, she had encountered hunting orcs during this period, but she had always avoided them vigilantly.

Moreover, all her supplies depend on having children. If she stops having children, these things will be used up soon and she will not be able to live such a comfortable life.

Bai Yingying paused, then added, "Besides, this isn't the life I want. The Sunset Mountains are only a part of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. There's a much wider world outside of them."

"I want to find a super tribe nearby and settle down there. Once I'm strong enough, I'll travel across the Orcish Continent, experiencing the different customs and cultures of each place, witnessing the prosperity of other tribes, and enjoying the scenery along the way."

She had already planned to stop having children once her talent reached the red level and she had enough supplies.

Take Mu Zhaozhao and two or three powerful beastmen with you and travel around the Orc Continent.

Bai Yingying asked: "Zhao Zhao, don't you want to go outside and take a look?"

"I want to go! I want to go!" Mu Zhaozhao's cheeks flushed with excitement, his eyes full of anticipation. "I don't want to be trapped in this small space. I also want to explore the beautiful mountains and rivers..."

"Okay! Then we have a deal. No matter what happens in the future, you have to follow me." Bai Yingying smiled and stretched out her right hand towards her, with her palm facing up.

Mu Zhaozhao, who was sitting opposite, immediately placed her right hand on the fair hand. Bai Yingying held her hand tightly, and they smiled at each other.

Just like the tacit understanding at the beginning.

Bai Yingying likes Mu Zhaozhao, who is a smart and capable female.

She will have many more children, so it would be best if she could find a witch doctor to follow her closely and help take care of the cubs.

Thinking of the iron smelting skills she had been rewarded with before, she took it out to check after she stabilized. It was a very detailed book with both pictures and texts, and even described the landforms where iron ore often appeared. However, she still needed to study and practice on her own.

This technique is rather useless and cannot be used by high-level orcs at all.

Bai Yingying had extra rewards and no shortage of ironware. After learning, she could craft large quantities, suitable for developing the tribe. Therefore, she didn't plan to learn it herself, so she could teach it to talented beastmen later.

If there are technical books in the future, especially medical books, they can be given to Mu Zhaozhao to study. She learns quickly and can teach herself after understanding.

You can just selectively study when you have nothing to do.
