"Yes, yes, whatever Sister Liuli says is right. I'm hungry, I need to go back and eat something first."
Zhou Ruanruan lowered her head and couldn't help but roll her eyes. The little toy she had painstakingly made was completely ignored by the other party, which was a real waste of her time.
"Your coming-of-age ceremony is in half a month. I'm afraid most of the male orcs in the tribe will be chasing after you, begging to find you a mate."
Liuli twirled the little toy in her hand without any politeness, making no mention of returning the gift. As she said this, she felt a pang of jealousy, "When you receive any fresh beast meat, you must send it to your sister to have a good taste."
"Okay, my sister won't forget."
Zhou Ruanruan's lips twitched, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. Once she passed her coming-of-age ceremony, she could awaken her superpowers, collect a bunch of high-level beast husbands, and then she would never have to please this stupid woman again.
The infighting within the tribe did not affect Jiang Cha's tense mood in the slightest.
She even found some herbs by the river to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.
"Cha Cha, you can't eat this kind of grass!"
Seeing Jiang Cha grab a handful of herbs from the ground and stuff them into her mouth, Lin Bei was so frightened that he wanted to raise his hand to stop her.
"Hmm...it's nothing."
Jiang Cha chewed the ginger tea twice and spat it out. She wanted to apply it directly to Lin Bei's face, but hesitated for a moment before saying, "Lin Bei, are you really willing to become my beast husband?"
Didn't everyone used to call him Brother Lin?
Cha Cha seems to have been acting strange since this morning, she keeps calling herself by her full name.
She's probably in a bad mood because of her status as a woman with barren skin.
The boy had already prepared an excuse for her, looking at her with fervent and sincere eyes, "Of course I'm willing, Cha Cha, you're the only one I want in this life!"
"Hiss~"
Jiang Cha turned her face away, not daring to respond to the boy's sincere love. She raised her hand and used the dregs of medicine to apply to his injured face, rolling and pressing it back and forth.
The fair-skinned boy's face quickly turned green.
"Cha Cha, thank you."
Lin Bei soon noticed that the pain on his face had subsided and it even felt a little cool. "I... I can do it myself."
The smooth, tender feeling on the boy's face made Jiang Cha unconsciously touch it a couple more times. Feeling a little embarrassed, she quickly let go.
After the delicate fingers left the boy's cheek, Jiang Cha seemed to see a hint of disappointment on his face.
The two had already left the tribe's residential area, and all they could hear was the sound of flowing water; there were quite a few orcs bathing there.
She wanted to find a more secluded place, so she pulled the boy along and continued walking further in.
"Cha Cha, don't go any further. We've reached the border of the tribe."
Lin Bei looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that no one was around. He turned around and took the initiative to stand guard for Jiang Cha. "Cha Cha, you go ahead and wash up. I'll keep watch for you."
"good."
Jiang Cha discovered that Lin Bei was indeed the shyest male orc in the tribe.
While on the road, Jiang Cha noticed out of the corner of her eye that not only were there orc couples having sex in the wild, but also male orcs openly taking a bath naked.
Lin Bei, however, took the initiative to lead her to a deserted place.
He possessed a sense of shame that many orcs lacked, and he also deeply respected her; he was truly a pure and innocent young man.
After confirming that no one else was around, Jiang Cha took off her animal skin skirt, slowly walked into the river, and carefully squatted down to begin washing her body.
The river water wasn't very cold, but she didn't want to stay long, afraid her body wouldn't be able to handle it.
As far as I can remember, this body hasn't had a bath in over a month.
She smelled really bad, but only Lin Bei didn't mind.
Male orcs are physically strong and can go to the river to bathe whenever they want.
Jiang Cha's body was too weak, so she only took a bath during the height of summer.
Looking at her tangled hair and skin covered in dirt, Jiang Cha frowned in disgust.
She scrubbed her entire body until it was bright red before she put her hands down, but she couldn't get her hair clean no matter what she did.
"Cha Cha, are you done washing up?"
Lin Bei said worriedly, "Your health isn't good; you shouldn't stay in the water for too long."
Jiang Cha looked up and saw the boy sitting awkwardly with his back to her, his ears slightly red and not daring to look around, probably because he was waiting agonizingly.
"Lin Bei, could you pick some green fruit from the tree for me? It's not far from you."
After Jiang Cha got ashore, she washed her animal skin skirt clean and hung it to dry on a large rock by the river.
"good."
Lin Bei almost obeyed her every word; he instantly transformed into his original form.
A huge, golden-haired rat darted up the tree in a flash, its eyes still controlling its gaze, avoiding the direction of the ginger tea.
The rustling sound quickly disappeared. Lin Bei, holding a handful of green fruit, jumped down from the tree, but still kept his back to her, not daring to move.
Jiang Cha's eyes sparkled as she chuckled and said, "You can turn around now."
Lin Bei obediently turned around and found that the girl's fair skin was flushed red, and she was not wearing anything except for a few leaves covering her chest and private parts.
With trembling hands, he handed over the fruit, adding, "This... isn't tasty."
"I know it's for washing hair."
This fruit has a lovely name in modern times—Sapindus mukorossi!
It has a cleaning effect, similar to wild soapberry.
Jiang Cha smashed the fruit and handed some to Lin Bei, saying, "Go take a shower too, and use these to wash your hair."
"Okay...okay."
He dared not think about what the little female he had liked for so many years was thinking when she called him to take a bath. At this moment, he only felt hot all over and his head was spinning.
He did whatever Jiang Cha told him to do, like an obedient little wooden puppet.
I only realized what I had done after I took off my clothes.
