The next day, the sky cleared up.
Even on sunny days, it's very cold here. The temperature is very low, and the snow on the ground doesn't melt. Instead, it becomes more and more solid over time. Then, new snowflakes fall, layer upon layer, and that's how the snowfield is formed.
Ye Nianzhen went hunting with Luo Shui and the people of their tribe. Luo Shui wasn't bragging; he really was very skilled.
Transformed into a black bear, he could kill a large prey in no time. His body was covered in snowflakes, and his eyes were a deep, bright blue, standing out against his black fur.
It's surprisingly cute...
Ye Nianzhen originally thought that bears were only majestic and terrifying creatures, which didn't quite match the impression Luo Shui gave people.
The result was unexpected... fluffy, adorable, looking at you with bright, sparkling eyes, begging for your praise... who could resist that?
"You're amazing! You're fantastic!"
Ye Nianzhen patted Luo Shui's bear belly and rubbed his bear head. The feel of the fur wasn't particularly good, but it was thick and smooth, except for being a little prickly.
"roar!"
Luo Shui let out a short, excited roar, meaning, of course, he's the best!
Seeing this, Mingyuan and Qin Qiu were naturally not going to back down.
Although their affection for Ye Nianzhen was temporarily sealed, they couldn't help but instinctively feel close to her.
Because of his cautious and calm personality, Mingyuan was initially wary of Ye Nianzhen, even suspecting that she had some ulterior motives.
But now... stimulated by Qin Qiu's overly familiar manner, he had long since cast those messy thoughts to the winds.
Then there's Qin Qiu. He was originally an intuitive creature, and now that he's become a beastman, he relies entirely on his intuition to act.
This has many advantages for him.
For example, his senses are sharper when hunting, and the full development of his intuition also enhances his combat ability.
So the moment he met Ye Nianzhen, he felt close to her and immediately decided to follow and protect her, and nothing anyone else said mattered.
Ye Nianzhen was willing to accept his initiative to get closer.
In this unfamiliar orcish territory, she needed someone like Qin Qiu, someone she could completely trust without any reservations.
They became familiar with each other in this way, which aroused Mingyuan's sense of crisis.
He was the one who met Ye Nianzhen first, so why does that dog-nose have the nerve to stick to her like that?
Mingyuan's inner self is far from being as calm and composed as he appears; in fact, he is somewhat cold and jealous.
Therefore, he would not let this situation continue to spiral out of control, and he decided to take the initiative.
He transformed into his animal form, a light-colored male deer with a pair of imposing antlers on his head.
Orcs' beast forms are determined by their individual abilities; the stronger they are, the larger their beast forms become. While Mingyuan's beast form is not as powerful as Luoshui's, it is still much larger than a typical male deer.
He transformed into a deer, his light-colored eyes peeking out from beneath thick eyelashes. With his upright posture and outstanding demeanor, he quickly attracted the attention of many people in the group.
Ye Nianzhen noticed it too, and then she saw the stag slowly walking towards her.
The stag was elegant in posture but humble in behavior. He walked over, quietly watched Ye Nianzhen for a moment, then bent his front legs and knelt on the ground. He was actually inviting Ye Nianzhen to ride on his back!
Everyone gasped in shock.
This is because it is a very intimate act for the orcs, and somewhat humiliating.
Orcs typically only allow their mates to ride on their backs, or their very beloved children.
But now, Mingyuan, a powerful beastman, is actually inviting a young woman to sit on his back.
This woman is still human! A pure human with absolutely no mixed-race heritage!
This is clearly inappropriate, as orcs generally do not intermarry with humans.
But no one can say anything. In the beast tribe, the strong are respected, and whoever is the most powerful has the final say. Those of ordinary skill level have no say in the matter.
But it's actually a bit difficult to get them to accept this calmly, especially since there's more than one person doing so!
Then, the silver-haired man next to him, who looked very strong, also transformed into his beast form.
His beast form was a white tiger with patterns all over its body, several times larger than an ordinary white tiger, and it broke a tree just by transforming.
The beastmen around them quickly retreated to the side, afraid of being hit by his tail or some other part of his body and getting injured.
Compared to Qin Qiu's white tiger form, Mingyuan's stag seemed less imposing, but Mingyuan did not back down at all. He faced Qin Qiu's white tiger form head-on, with no intention of giving way.
Qin Qiu was certainly not there to fight Mingyuan. He simply knelt down in front of Ye Nianzhen, waiting for her to make a decision.
Ye Nianzhen: "..."
She could actually walk by herself, and she didn't want anyone to ride her. Is that something that can be said?
It's not a good time to choose anyone!
Moreover, Ye Nianzhen's impression of these two guys was still based on their previous human forms. It would be too embarrassing for him to ride on them.
With no other choice, Ye Nianzhen gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and snuggled directly into Luo Shuixiong's arms!
"Luoshui! Carry me back, okay? I'll give you more food when I cook later, how about that?"
Ye Nianzhen frantically winked at Luo Shui. Although Luo Shui didn't quite understand why she didn't ride those two beastmen back.
If you're worried about unfairness, why not ride a deer for a while and then a tiger for a while?
Or is it that this is too stimulating for humans, and she doesn't dare to?
Well, humans are really hard to understand, but if there's something delicious to eat, he's still willing to help.
So he readily picked up Ye Nianzhen and ran back home as fast as he could.
The beastmen standing nearby, as well as Mingyuan and Qin Qiu, were all shocked.
What's going on here? I thought it was a love triangle, but then another one got involved! When did the orc race become such a mess?! Just who is this human woman?!
Never mind, let's talk less and do more. Look at the faces of these two powerful figures, they're ashen!
Ming Yuanlu and Qin Qiuhu looked quite grim.
But it wasn't as bad as they imagined, because they felt more of a slight sense of loss and bewilderment.
No one would think that Ye Nian really chose Luo Shui, because Luo Shui looked like she didn't know anything and was more suited to be at the children's table.
Resigned to their fate, they transformed back into human form, picked up their share of the prey from the ground, walked to the riverbank, knocked a hole in the frozen river, put the prey in to wash it clean, and then took it back.
Let's go back and cook. Cooking skills are a very important part! I've heard that humans test their partners' cooking abilities, and Mingyuan is confident that he won't lose to any beast in that regard!
Back in his tribe, he started cooking, determined to show off his skills.
result……
Ye Nianzhen: "Come on, Luoshui, I promised you, eat up."
Mingyuan: "..."
Why would you feed this bear the food he made?!
