"Huh? When did this happen?"
Cang Yi was completely bewildered. The little female wasn't someone he took away; she left with him voluntarily.
"More than ten days ago."
"Oh...that was all a misunderstanding."
Cang Yi scratched his head sheepishly, forcing a silly grin.
His intuition told him that the person in front of him was not someone to mess with, and that playing dumb was the best course of action.
"You know Cangyin, right?"
"Yes, I know him. He's our clan leader. Last time he called me back, I thought it was something important, but it turned out he just wanted to check on me. He always likes to stir up trouble..."
“I saved his life. Last time, I was the one who asked him to find you, but you didn’t come back immediately.”
"Oh...I see. I'm really sorry to have troubled you, senior!"
Cang Yi smiled even more sincerely, but inwardly cursed his bad luck.
He remembered who this person was.
The clan chief once told him that a senior had saved his life, and that this senior was among the most powerful beasts.
If you encounter the King of the Deer, you must respect him and go along with him in everything you do; you absolutely must not offend him.
The last four words are the most important.
He didn't remember Yin Lu's name, but Cang Yi remembered the four words "King of the Deer".
I never expected it to be this man in front of me.
"You like small females?"
"No, no, no, I don't like it. I only like myself."
Cang Yi answered quickly, though he felt a little annoyed, but he didn't want to offend the person in front of him.
"Good lad, you've got character."
Yin Lu patted his shoulder and left with a meaningful smile.
"He also has connections with the goddess?"
Bai Qi had been trying to minimize his presence, and now he could finally return to human form.
He was naturally aware of Yin Lu's name, but he never expected that she would also know the goddess.
"have no idea."
Cang Yi angrily spat out three words.
He had no interest in knowing what connection they had.
Just thinking about those beautiful sounds he heard that night, pressed against the corner of the wall, made him blush and feel unbearably hot.
"I'm leaving. If you need anything, have the little female call me."
Cangyi spread its wings and flew away without looking back.
"That guy has quite a temper."
Bai Qi shook his head and began asking around the Brown Wolf tribe about the goddess.
"I didn't expect we slept for so long, it was already noon when we woke up."
What kind of beast is this outsider?
"White Tiger? My god! It's actually a White Tiger! I remember the White Tiger clan is so far away from us, how did you end up here?"
"No need to guess, they must be here for the goddess."
"…………"
Fortunately, the White Tiger Clan had a good reputation, so even when the clansmen heard of his beast form, they didn't react much.
Bai Qi has a friendly appearance, and a few words were enough to make them open up to each other.
He also learned many interesting stories about ginger tea as a result.
"When the goddess first arrived, she was in a terrible state. She was sold by the tribe and was wearing tattered animal clothes. Tsk tsk tsk, she was so pitiful!"
"Our king looks so big and fierce every day, but when he's in front of the goddess, he's like a little kitten, only able to be gentle and ask to be petted."
"Although I still have some resentment towards the goddess, I feel more proud than anything else."
"What are you complaining about? The stronger the goddess is, the more honorable our tribe will be. Besides, she has saved so many of our people and provided us with free medical care. Where else can we find such a wonderful female?"
"But didn't the king say he was going to prepare..."
"Shh..."
As they were talking, they were even about to mention migrating, but luckily someone quick-witted interrupted them.
They even forcibly changed the topic.
"Speaking of the goddess, I had a toothache the other day, so I went to see her for a dental checkup. The goddess told me to just rinse my mouth every day. I said, 'I drink water every day, which counts as rinsing my mouth, so why do my teeth still hurt?'"
Then the goddess said, "Can you eat without chewing and just swallow it whole?"
"Then I said I wouldn't eat rice, I would only eat meat."
The goddess then asked, "So, when you eat meat, do you swallow it whole in one bite?"
“I said, it’s good to chew on something occasionally.”
The goddess said, "That's right, you need to rinse your mouth several times for it to be effective."
"Hahaha……"
Unfortunately, after he finished speaking, the room fell into a deathly silence; not a single person laughed.
Bai Qi waited a while before taking the initiative to soften the tone and said, "Goddess, you're quite interesting. Did your tooth get healed in the end?"
"Okay, I should eat now, no, I should eat meat."
The orc who said this left expressionlessly, rubbing his rumbling stomach.
The other orcs who were watching the spectacle couldn't help but chirp, "This guy has said this more than a dozen times in the tribe. We're all tired of hearing it."
Bai Qi smiled and said, "Do you have any other stories about the goddess?"
They hit it off as they talked, and Bai Qi even insisted on staying for dinner.
Guided by ginger tea, almost everyone in the brown wolf tribe started eating cooked food.
Raw meat contains a lot of bacteria, so even if orcs have high physical fitness, they are prone to illness and have short lifespans.
Therefore, she also taught everyone how to balance meat and vegetables, but Jiang Cha could only say that her cooking skills were indeed not very good.
At this moment, Jiang Cha sat on Kowell's shoulder and followed him to the altar.
In this deep forest, the ancient altar, sculpted by the scars of time, has become even more mysterious and unpredictable.
The dense foliage of the forest forms a natural barrier, isolating the noise of the outside world. Sunlight filters through the gaps, dappling the machine platform and adding a touch of warmth to this sacred place.
Carefully prepared firewood was laid out on the altar, neatly piled into a small mountain.
There were not only Lin Bei's father on the ground, but also the corpses of some of his clansmen.
They were all neatly arranged together.
In the center of the altar was a stone basin filled with dried sawdust and branches, which were prepared for starting a fire.
When the ceremony began, the priest, Li Bai, dressed in a foreign robe, with three red bloodstains painted on his face, a strange ornament of feathers on his head, and holding a torch, slowly walked toward the altar.
His face was solemn and reverent, and he took every step with great care.
There were also some exceptionally old orcs who began chanting ancient incantations around the altar, their deep and powerful voices echoing in every corner around them.
Cremation ceremonies are not only a farewell to the deceased, but also a respect for and celebration of the cycle of life.
Fire from the heavens coexists harmoniously with nature, symbolizing the eternity and immortality of life.
As the ceremony ended, the flames gradually died down, leaving only ashes on the altar.
Silence and sorrow spread through the crowd.
"May our lives, like an inextinguishable flame, illuminate one another and warm our people forever."
Kovi's loud voice echoed throughout the entire tribe.
His words brought tears to everyone's eyes.
They couldn't help but shout along.
May our lives, like an inextinguishable flame, illuminate one another and warm our people forever!
