"Then what?"
They still haven't explained exactly how they get through their heat cycle!
Seeing the little female's beautiful big eyes looking at her with curiosity, Yin Lu couldn't help but swallow.
Although estrus doesn't affect me much now, I still can't help feeling hot and restless when I meet someone I like.
He used to feel out of place in this world and had never met a female who moved him. Now he realizes that he seems to be slipping out of his control again.
Jiang Cha's persistent questioning forced Yin Lu to provide an answer.
He leaned close to Jiang Cha's ear and whispered something.
She blushed deeply.
In reality, it was because Yin Lu was too talented and his body didn't react as severely as other beastmen, so he was able to easily resolve the situation on his own.
"Coo coo coo~"
The stomach's cry for help broke the intimacy between the two, and Jiang Cha immediately separated them, turning back into the cave.
Hearing footsteps behind her, she forced herself to remain calm and asked, "Is it cooked?"
"That should be fine."
Yin Lu opened the earthenware jar and smelled the aroma. The fragrance of pheasant was irresistible, accompanied by the subtle fragrance of seasonings, making the hungry ginger tea drinker's mouth water.
He first ladled a bowl of soup and placed it in front of her, saying, "Be careful, it's hot."
"Thanks."
Jiang Cha's expression softened considerably. She gently blew on the hot soup and began to eat the meat.
The pheasant meat is tender and delicious, with a slightly spicy flavor, and its aroma fills your mouth when you eat it.
She was enjoying her meal and didn't notice the man in front of her subtly observing her.
After finishing her meal, Jiang Cha walked out of the cave and saw some old orcs. They seemed to be very afraid of Yin Lu. They peeked at her and then immediately hid in their own caves.
She touched the partner's mark on her body and lowered her head in disappointment.
Tonight is the night of the full moon, why haven't they come looking for me yet?
Unfortunately, only males can detect the location of females, while the reverse is not true.
Knowing that Kovi had to take care of the tribe, after all, it was his duty, while Lin Bei had to take care of the cubs, even if he entrusted the cubs to other orcs, it would be dangerous for him to come out with his strength.
Therefore, Jiang Cha didn't have much hope that they would come looking for her.
But Feng Mu should have a chance, right?
Mingming had been kidnapped by Yin Lu before, and she could still hear his voice. It seemed that he had come to find her secretly with others.
But then there was no further news.
Could he be injured?
still……
Thinking about this, Jiang Cha became even more worried about the other person.
She didn't believe that the little silver fox wouldn't come looking for her if it knew she was in danger.
Even if he can't sense the mark, the handkerchief she left behind should be able to guide him.
Jiang Cha walked to the big tree next to the village and climbed up the trunk in a few quick movements.
She stood on the tree trunk, gazing into the distance, hoping that her beastly husband would come to see her.
The figure not far away kept his eyes fixed on her.
"Sir... he doesn't want to eat."
"Then tell him that if he doesn't eat, he'll die."
"Yes...sir."
The old orc left in fear.
He walked into a secluded cave, picked up the half-eaten piece of meat from the table, and advised, "Young man, you should eat some, otherwise that lord will come and take your life."
The handsome man raised his full head of silver hair, his pale face covered in scars, and spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ground.
Suddenly, he nodded calmly.
The man was tightly bound, unable to free his hands, and could only be fed by the old orc.
Unexpectedly, as they were eating, the man started crying, tears of blood streaming down his face. He choked out, "Wife, I'm so useless. I couldn't protect you on the night of the full moon. It's my fault that that thief kidnapped you..."
The man's weeping was so heart-wrenching that even the old orc was moved.
He sighed repeatedly and sincerely comforted him, "Young man, don't be sad. I don't think your wife is too opposed to that guy. Just think of it as gaining another brother."
The silver-haired man, Feng Mu, who had been captured and thrown into the cave by Yin Lu, concealed the disdain in his eyes and sobbed with his head down, "He just wanted to take advantage of my misfortune. Even if my wife wanted to resist and leave, do you think he would let her go?"
The old orc kept his head down and didn't speak. He hesitated for a moment, then finished feeding the orc and turned to leave.
“My wife is also one of your people. She came immediately when she heard that the wandering orcs were going to raid the Rat Mountain tribe. Yet you are so ungrateful. I really misjudged you.”
Jiang Cha's initial purpose was to seek revenge, but no one believed that reason.
On the contrary, Feng Mu's words are more credible.
"Never mind, you can go."
He used a feigned retreat as a tactic, and after speaking, he lay back on the ground, his face full of disappointment.
The old orc certainly knew Jiang Cha; he had even watched her grow up.
However, the old orc was getting older and rarely went out, so they hadn't had much contact in the past two years.
Hearing Feng Mu's words, the orcs naturally felt bad.
The clan chief led his people to migrate away, leaving them behind. Although it was reasonable, it was still hard to accept.
They thought they were doomed and had expected it, but to their surprise, after Jiang Cha arrived, the wandering orcs didn't come looking for their tribe.
Although it was a misunderstanding, it didn't stop them from thanking Jiang Cha for coming to see them.
"He's very strong..."
The old orc's heart was subtly touched. Even a young female who had been sold off knew how to protect her people, while their most respected chieftain had abandoned them without even providing them with a way out.
But he still felt that his own life was more important, "If I don't find an opportunity, I will implicate other members of my tribe."
Feng Mu tried to persuade them at length, but in the end, the old orc decided to wait until Yin Lu was asleep at night before letting them leave.
“Young man, think positively. Just think of it as your wife being bitten by a dog. I’ll let you go tonight after that guy falls asleep. Remember to leave traces of your escape so I can take those old geezers to hide in the underground cave…”
Feng Mu was unaware that Yin Lu had completely become immune to this special day. He just felt that this guy was too powerful and so vigilant that he probably wouldn't sleep at night.
He would really go crazy if he actually watched Jiang Cha share a room with such a disgusting senior.
"If you don't agree, then you'll be tied up indefinitely. Once your wife falls completely in love with that man, we'll probably be collecting your corpse."
Feng Mu: "..."
He had no choice but to either die or endure the night.
"good……"
He gritted his teeth and agreed to the old orc's plan, but a tear actually rolled down his cheek.
"Cha Cha, I'm sorry, I failed to protect you."
Feng Mu muttered softly, but the old orc couldn't bear to see him like this, so he closed his eyes and left.
