Meng Yuqing pinched Xuan's face with her backhand. "Digging in winter? The snow is so thick, and the ground is frozen hard. Aren't you afraid of hurting your claws?"
"Then find some time to dig it, it will be quick." Xuan said.
"It doesn't matter if you don't dig. I'm not that fond of swimming, and I have to change the water so often, which is so troublesome." Seeing Xuan frowning but still unwilling to give up, Meng Yuqing continued, "I really want to swim, so I'm telling you. Should I take you to the creek? It's not far from our house anyway, so it's no different from a swimming pool."
After hearing what Meng Yuqing said, Xuan relaxed his brows and nodded softly.
After the pavilion was built, the two of them made a chaise longue and placed it inside, lying on it when they had nothing to do.
After polishing the chessboard, Meng Yuqing exchanged the chess pieces from the space and placed them on the chessboard in the pavilion.
Their vacation was over, and Xuan was drafted by Xia to take care of the tribal affairs.
Those rescued from the Colosseum have settled down in the west of Qingshan City. Although I have figured out a general method to subdue them on the way back, there are still many details that need to be discussed.
In the evening, Xuan walked towards home against the light, holding two wooden boxes in his hands.
As soon as I pushed open the gate of the courtyard, I saw Meng Yuqing sleeping on the chaise longue in the pavilion.
Slowly walking into the pavilion, Xuan sat beside the chaise longue and looked at Meng Yuqing, whose cheeks were flushed due to the heat.
When Xiao Huang saw Xuan coming back, he immediately started giggling. Hearing Xiao Huang's voice, Meng Yuqing opened his eyes and saw that Xuan had come back. He reached out his hand towards Xuan.
Xuan put the things in his hand aside, then took his hand and pulled him up.
Meng Yuqing took advantage of the situation and leaned over Xuan. He said directly to the chessboard, "The chess pieces have been exchanged. I will start teaching you how to play chess today."
Xuan's gaze fell on the chessboard, on which were already placed two boxes of black and white chess pieces. He rubbed Meng Yuqing's head and said, "Didn't I say I would take care of the chess pieces? Why did you change them?"
"It's too troublesome to make them one by one. Anyway, we have plenty of energy now, so using a little bit won't be a problem." Meng Yuqing stretched out his fingers and gestured with a little bit, and continued, "It really is just a little bit. Chess pieces are not expensive."
Xuan picked up the two wooden boxes that were set aside and said, "I was going to show you this."
He shook the wooden box gently, and a small sound came from inside. Meng Yuqing looked at the box and said, "What is this? A chess piece? It was made so quickly."
As he spoke, he took the wooden box from Xuan's hand and opened it.
Then he took a deep breath, immediately closed the wooden box again, and carefully placed it on the chaise longue.
"Tell me quickly, what you brought was all glass." He grabbed Xuan's shoulders with both hands and shook him wildly.
Xuan followed his force and shook it while saying, "It's not glass, it's those beautiful stones, and some are scales of the Blue Water Tribe."
"Ahhhhhh!" Meng Yuqing was going crazy. He had known for a long time that gemstones and jade were worthless in this world, but he really didn't expect Xuan to use these things directly as chess pieces.
"What's wrong?" Xuan quickly hugged him and asked, "Don't you like these two colors? Then I'll change to two more colors. I think there are also light purple and dark purple."
"I like it very much. It looks very nice." Meng Yuqing looked at Xuan and said, "But it's too... expensive."
"Didn't you say that some of your chess pieces are also very expensive? Many people don't have them, but now you have them."
Xuan casually glanced at the two boxes of chess pieces. These stones were really useless to them except for looking good, but he knew that these things were very expensive in Meng Yuqing's world, and many people would be willing to spend a lot of things to exchange for these stones.
"It's very expensive, but my chess skills...are not worthy of it." Meng Yuqing said.
Xuan tilted his head and looked at Meng Yuqing and said, "But you are the only one here who can play chess. Your chess skills are the best. You are definitely worthy."
Meng Yuqing felt a little embarrassed by Xuan's praise. He struggled out of Xuan's arms, holding the two boxes of jeweled chess pieces like treasures, and said, "They are mine. I want to keep them for my collection. If we play chess, we can use the two boxes I exchanged for them."
He stuffed the wooden box into the spatial warehouse, muttering, "Luckily I asked the system to replace the chess pieces. I wouldn't dare use this set of chess pieces even if you gave it to me. If I broke them, I would really cry to death."
Xuan nodded. He had no objection to Meng Yuqing's decision. It was originally a gift for him, so it was his business how he wanted to deal with it.
As for Go, Meng Yuqing only learned it for a period of time in an interest class when she was in elementary school.
After explaining the rules to Xuan, the two of them started to fight each other.
Meng Yuqing relied on his experience to win two games in a row and was ready to call it a day.
He could already feel that Xuan had made significant progress in the second game. If he played with him a few more times, he probably wouldn't be able to win so easily.
Xuan didn't know what Meng Yuqing was thinking, and he was quite interested in Go. After playing two games, he still felt a little unsatisfied, so Meng Yuqing took him to bed on the grounds that it was too late.
People from Bird Island would come to Qingshan City to play together from time to time, and the people of Qingshan City would also warmly entertain them.
Xie would occasionally take Kamo back to Bird Island to stay for a few days, and then come to Qingshan City again.
They also built a house in Qingshan City, right next to Lian.
Originally they wanted Lian to live with them, but in the Beast World, adult orcs have to go out and live alone. Only sub-beasts can live with their parents after they reach adulthood and before they have a partner.
After Lian's desperate resistance, even after Fei and Xia moved out, he finally gave up the idea of Xiehe Kamo wanting to take him to live with them.
However, the little chicken Xiao Hei that he raised was taken away by Xiehe Kamo.
"You often have to help the tribe with work, and sometimes you are not at home for several days. Xiao Hei can only go to other people's homes to get food. Why don't you just leave him with us? Your father-in-law usually doesn't travel far, so he can help you take care of Xiao Hei." Xie persuaded Lian.
Lian thought about it and it made sense. His Xiao Hei was even worse off than Xiao Huang. At least Xiao Huang was being raised by Xuan and Meng Yuqing, and Meng Yuqing rarely went out most of the time.
He was a single orc, and when he said he was going out to do something, he just took off and left. Xiao Hei really grew up eating at many people's houses.
So the custody of Xiao Hei was transferred from Lian to Kamo.
Camo took very good care of Xiao Hei. After having Camo, Xiao Hei completely ignored the chain and followed Camo around all day long.
Around the beginning of autumn, the weather, which had been hot for a long time, suddenly rained for more than ten days in a row. Meng Yuqing stood in the pavilion and watched the raindrops falling in lines, frowning slightly.
Xuan turned into a beast and walked into the yard in the rain, then shook off the water on the open space. He found that as soon as the water was shaken off, rain fell on him again. He sighed, then squatted on the ground and looked at the sky.
"Xuan, why are you always getting wet in the rain? Come in quickly." Meng Yuqing waved at Xuan.
Xuan stood up and walked towards the pavilion. Two meters away from the pavilion, he turned into a human form and ran in.
Meng Yuqing quickly took out a piece of cloth from the space and helped Xuan wipe his hair.
