With these dried fruits, we won't have to stay in the cave eating roasted meat every day.
He carefully collected all the dried fruit from the ground and put them into the tanned animal hide that Bai Jing had prepared, creating a large bundle.
When I got home, it wasn't dark yet, and the cold wind started howling again.
Yu Wanwan climbed down the tiger's tail, and Bai Jing placed the tanned animal hide and dried fruit on the ground and began preparing dinner.
When Yu Wanwan first saw Bai Jing's method of starting a fire, she saw him pile up all the wood together, lightly touch it with his fingertip, and a string of flames appeared, burning bigger and bigger on the firewood.
Yu Wanwan exclaimed, "Bai Jing, you're amazing!"
Hearing the little female's praise, Bai Jing smiled slightly, his gaze becoming even gentler: "This is the ancestral power of the tiger clan, which I only obtained when I reached adulthood."
Orcs are indeed extraordinary; they even have superpowers!
"By the way, Wanwan, what is your ancestral beastman power?"
Bai Jing had never heard of the human race before, and now he was also curious about Yu Wanwan's race.
"This..." Unable to answer the question, Yu Wanwan decisively chose to give up and quickly changed the subject: "With such amazing abilities, why don't you want others to know?"
Yu Wanwan felt that obtaining this superpower was like becoming the top scorer in the college entrance examination; she should immediately announce it to the public, right?
Bai Jing cut off the tenderest piece of meat and carefully placed it over the fire to roast, explaining as he did so: "The chieftain of the White Tiger tribe has set a rule that any beastman in the tribe who has obtained the power of ancestral reversion must become the beastman husband of his daughter, so..."
Bai Jing gave Yu Wanwan a meaningful look, looking rather helpless.
"There are fewer and fewer orcs who have awakened their ancestral traits now, and there are no orcs who have awakened their ancestral traits in the tribe. If the chieftain's daughter finds out that I have awakened, she will definitely snatch me away as her partner."
Yu Wanwan couldn't help but feel embarrassed. She had only ever heard of arranged marriages, but this was the first time she had ever heard of arranging someone else's marriage. This clan chief and his daughter were really something else.
It was getting dark outside, and the temperature inside the cave continued to drop, but sitting by the fire, it didn't feel too cold.
The meat in Bai Jing's hands smelled delicious. He carefully cut the meat, placed it on a leaf, and handed it to Yu Wanwan.
The freshly roasted meat was still sizzling and glistening with oil, neatly arranged on emerald green leaves, looking and tasting delicious.
But for Yu Wanwan, who had been eating barbecue for several days, it was really hard to swallow.
She carefully picked up a piece of meat and ate it slowly.
Finally, thinking of her own stomach, she asked softly, "Bai Jing, do you have anything else to eat here?"
Bai Jing's expression turned somewhat disappointed, and he said, "Is it because my barbecue doesn't taste good? I'll go to Grandma Min Zhu's place tomorrow to learn how to make it."
He now deeply regrets why he spent all his energy on hunting, even though the tribe had arranged many courses on caring for females, he never attended them.
It's true what they say: you only realize how little you know when you need it.
"No, no, no." Seeing that the light in Bai Jing's eyes was almost dim, Yu Wanwan shook her head and waved her hands, explaining three times in a row: "It's because I don't like to eat meat, not because your cooking is bad."
"Don't you like eating meat?" Bai Jing looked at Yu Wanwan's thin body and said worriedly, "Even if you are an omnivorous beastman, you should eat more meat, otherwise it will be very dangerous for you to have children in the future."
His words made Yu Wanwan even more embarrassed.
Having children is something from a completely different dimension for her!
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. Bai Jing knew that females didn't like being contradicted, so he asked, "What do you like to eat? I'll go to the forest tomorrow to see if I can find any, okay? Please don't be angry."
Yu Wanwan: "..."
When did she get angry? But food is still very important, so Yu Wanwan quickly said, "I want to eat rice. It's that kind of fruit that's this small, white, with long leaves, green when it's unripe, and yellow when it's ripe."
Yu Wanwan was afraid that Bai Jing didn't know about rice, so she described it to him vividly, using both words and gestures.
However, her vocabulary was so limited that Bai Jing couldn't understand her.
Yu Wanwan had no choice but to try a different kind of food that could be a staple, and she told Bai Jing, "Or another kind, I eat its root. There are round things under the root, and the skin is yellow. After cooking, it becomes soft and sticky, and it's very delicious."
Bai Jing shook his head, his expression helpless.
They went on to come up with several different ideas, but all their attempts to communicate ended in complete failure.
Yu Wanwan lowered her head in frustration and drew circles on the ground. She curled up in a small ball, her little mouth pouting and her cheeks puffed out, looking like a wronged little cub, so adorable.
Bai Jing couldn't help but touch her cheek and said gently, "Tigers don't like to eat vegetables, and I don't know much about this. In a few days, I'll go ask the herbivorous beastmen nearby. Maybe I can find what you want."
After his comforting words, Yu Wanwan's mood improved a bit.
Bai Jing is truly a wonderful man—gentle, handsome, considerate, and attentive.
A man like that would definitely be a national heartthrob in modern times. Let alone getting along like this, Yu Wanwan might not even have the chance to catch a glimpse of him from afar.
After dinner, Bai Jing began tidying up the room.
In a corner of the cave, there was a large rock with a section hollowed out by Bai Jing. Inside was clean water, which Yu Wanwan could use for simple cleaning and drinking.
I don't know where Bai Jing got this jar from. If you have a smaller one, you could ask Bai Jing to get one so we can use it as a pot for now.
