Jiang Cha waved her hand and placed a large stone pot on the stove. This was something Kovi had found for her, and he had even made a spare one for her to keep in her space for use outside.
The little wolf's thoughtfulness came in handy at this moment.
After finally getting the water boiling, Jiang Cha took off her clothes and soaked herself in the water.
Soaking comfortably in the warmed stone pot, Jiang Cha squinted her beautiful eyes.
"This is much more comfortable than sleeping in the open."
Just then, the sound of the animal skin curtain in the cave being slightly lifted startled her.
She immediately turned around, quickly pulled a dagger from her pocket with her right hand, and looked at the cave entrance with a wary expression.
At this point, Jiang Cha already possessed the combat power of a seventh-tier orc like Kovi, but she couldn't use her special abilities. Her speed and strength were about the same as those of an ordinary seventh-tier orc.
Moreover, she had so much medicinal powder in the space, which was the reason she dared to stay here alone.
Inside the stone pot, Jiang Cha's curvaceous, fair body was immersed in the water, splashing water with her movements.
Upon seeing this scene, the man in front of him couldn't help but let out a rapid, panting breath.
"It's you!"
The moment she looked up, Jiang Cha's voice turned cold, and her face flushed red.
It turns out to be Yin Lu, who came to help Jiang Cha save her people!
But Jiang Cha had no idea what the old monster was up to. She only resented him for kidnapping her, immobilizing her, causing her to be taken away by the Black Tiger Clan, and then by the Azure Eagle...
It's like a subway transfer station, going from one place to another.
Jiang Cha quickly took out the clothes next to the stone pot and draped them over her body to block the view in front of her.
"Get out! Is this how your mother raised you?"
She was somewhat embarrassed and angry; the old man's mother was from the same place as her and had been her teacher who had helped her.
Logically, she should be grateful to him, but their first meeting was unfriendly, and their last parting was also terrible, so she didn't have a good impression of him.
Realizing that the medicine powder in her space was useless to him, she decided not to waste it and instead took out a dagger and glared at him fiercely.
Despite his handsome and respectable appearance, Yin Lu is actually over a hundred years old and he even spied on her while she was taking a bath. What an old pervert!
Yin Lu lowered his eyes. He hadn't expected the little female to be taking a bath. He had only rushed over because he smelled her scent and was worried that he might be in danger. But once he saw her body, he couldn't take his eyes off her.
"Excuse me, little female, but here, females usually have their partners guarding them when they take a bath. Where is your partner?"
Ginger Tea: "..."
This bastard has the nerve to ask that question. He's all alone here, isn't it all his fault?
Jiang Cha gritted her teeth and said, "Didn't all my partners leave because of you? Now, please leave!"
Yin Lu knew that there was no one else by her side, and that the male had also left her, so her little thoughts began to stir.
The scene before him was quite stimulating for a lifelong bachelor like him, and a surge of lust rose within him.
It felt like my feet were rooted to the spot; I didn't want to turn around and leave.
He even silently gave himself an excuse: he was standing guard for the little female and protecting her safety.
Seeing that her words were ignored, Jiang Cha felt a surge of anger and sneered, "Senior Yin Lu, who has always followed her mother's views on choosing a partner and wanted one male and one female, one husband and one wife, now wants to become one of my beast husbands?"
Yin Lu's expression darkened slightly as she suddenly realized what she was doing.
He found it hard to believe that he cared so much about this little female, and even had that kind of reaction.
In fact, his mother had taught him how to resist the orcs' estrus cycle long ago, and he hadn't had much of a need for that kind of thing for over a hundred years.
Even if they exist, they can resolve them on their own.
Is it because I'm too hungry that I'm like this now?
Thinking of this, Yin Lu awkwardly turned her face away and staggered out of the cave.
He didn't want to see the woman he loved with another man. He had always followed his mother's teachings since childhood: there is no room for a third party in a relationship.
But when she thought that the little female was also from her mother's side, she knew that even if she had three beast husbands, she could still live a happy life.
If her mother had been able to accept her views, perhaps she wouldn't have had to pass away so early along with her father.
Yin Lu was torn between two conflicting feelings: on one hand, she felt her mother was right, but on the other hand, she disagreed with her mother's actions.
He didn't want to admit that he had taken a liking to the young female, but he also didn't want to let her leave.
Jiang Cha, who was inside the cave, immediately came out of the water, dried himself off, and changed into clean clothes.
After tidying herself up, Jiang Cha walked out of the cave. Knowing that she couldn't escape the old monster's grasp either, she gave up and asked in a very cold tone, "Senior Yin Lu, what exactly do you want?"
Are you alright?
"Um……"
“I know it was my fault that you were kidnapped by the Black Tiger Clan leader. I went after you very quickly. Now he has been killed by my apprentice, which can be considered revenge for you. I heard that the group of wandering orcs were going to massacre this place, so I thought I'd come and see.”
"Thanks."
Jiang Cha gave a perfunctory thank you.
There was no one in this tribe who cared about him, so whether he saved him or not wouldn't make much of a difference, and he wouldn't feel indebted to him.
"I have no ill intentions towards you, and I will never... never commit to you again, I swear."
Yin Lu held up three fingers, making a gesture that only modern people would make.
This gave Jiang Cha a strange sense of familiarity.
But deep down, I didn't really care.
I already spent 1000 points to unlock it last time, and I'm immune to it now.
Even if you decide to change yourself, it won't make a difference.
"You rest well, I'll stay here at the cave entrance."
Seeing that she remained silent, Yin Lu knew that he was still in an unpopular position. He silently moved a stone and sat down by the cave entrance, like a guard, dutifully protecting her.
Jiang Cha wasn't one to easily trust anyone, but then she suddenly heard Xiao Qi's voice in her ear.
[Host, there are only 32 hours left to claim your reward. Please don't miss it!]
Get lost! I would never do that kind of thing with someone I don't like!
[Hehe! Hopefully, the host can hold on tomorrow too.]
【What do you mean?】
[Beep~ Xiaoqi has crashed. It will restart after completing the task.]
[...]
She knew this guy was doing it on purpose, that dog system.
Although there are no mandatory tasks, it feels like I'm digging a hole every time.
Why do you say she won't be able to hold on tomorrow?
Could it be that she'll fall in love with this person tomorrow?
As Jiang Cha watched the night deepen, drowsiness crept over her.
She tied a homemade little bell to the side of her bed before yawning and falling asleep.
Yin Lu sat facing the moon at the cave entrance, gazing blankly at the sky. "The moon is so round. Tomorrow should be the orcs' mating season. I wonder how the little female will get through it?"
