Chapter 50: Cat's Coquettishness
Bai Yue was a female outsider, and Shanzheng, the chief of a goat tribe, could not make decisions for her no matter what.
Therefore, he rejected Xuan's request without thinking.
But in the end he got what he wanted.
Because his wish was not fulfilled, he suddenly ran away on the spot and turned into a cat as big as half a truck. He meowed and smashed several hills into pieces with his claws.
Bai Yue was afraid that he would destroy the entire goat tribe, so she agreed to his request.
At the same time, he also made three rules with him.
Fortunately, although the other party was a bit unreasonable, he could occasionally understand what people said and agreed without any objections.
"Your name is Xuan, right?" Bai Yue turned around and said to the white cat that followed her closely.
The latter had returned to his human form, his hair a mess, like a ball of cotton candy. He nodded obediently upon hearing her words.
"Since you are so strong, help me with some work next."
"Okay." Xuan had no idea whether to work or not.
He felt that the closer he was to Bai Yue, the more comfortable he felt. No matter what Bai Yue said, he just nodded.
But he ultimately underestimated Bai Yue, a modern capitalist who had come from a different era. From morning to night, from little to much, Xuan felt like he was repeating the same movements countless times, his entire body drained, yet there was still a huge pile of dirt waiting to be moved.
Xuan, who had never done this kind of work before, gave up as expected.
"No, not this." He sat down on the snow pile, but because he didn't notice there was a pit underneath, in less than three seconds, he slipped into the pit, leaving only his dirty big feet exposed.
"..." Bai Yue glanced sideways, indicating that she did not see this scene.
This difficulty was nothing to the orc. He just moved inside and his whole body popped out as if it was installed on a spring.
He squatted in front of Bai Yue with an uncomfortable look on his face: "Yue, Yue, don't do this, don't do it..." As he spoke, he moved closer and rubbed his head on Bai Yue's thigh, just like a domestic kitten trying to please its owner.
Unfortunately, the master he met was the ruthless Bai Yue.
Faced with this act of coquettishness, she was not moved at all, but instead pushed him.
"Why not? Are you too tired?"
"I'm not tired, Xuan just doesn't want to do it." The white cat orc didn't understand what lying was at all.
Hearing Bai Yue's question, he expressed his feelings truthfully.
Those eyes, as clear as gemstones, really made Bai Yue feel ashamed.
But… "Xuan, you are an obedient and well-behaved cat. Look, everyone is working and everyone is very tired, but no one is stopping working because they are tired. Do you really want to stop working just because you don't like it? If that's the case, I won't like you anymore."
“…”
Xuan blinked his long eyelashes and pursed his lips. He really didn't want to do it, but he didn't want Yue to dislike him.
Especially when he thought that Bai Yue might not like him, his eyes were suddenly filled with tears that could fall at any moment.
"I'll do it, Yue, don't dislike me." After saying that, he kept rubbing and drilling his head into Bai Yue's palm.
Seeing that he was comforted so quickly, Bai Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it is very unkind to deceive the demented orcs, no one would give up such good labor.
He could finish a job that took other orcs an hour to complete in just twenty minutes.
Even if she was called a capitalist, she would be happy at this moment.
Thanks to the overnight work and the help of the orcs from the goat tribe, the world's first kang cave was soon built.
The dark clouds had long blocked the sun, but they could not block the curious and excited hearts of many people. Even though it started snowing again, they still gathered in front of the cave.
It was not until the goat leader came out smiling and announced the good news that they put aside their fear and cheered.
"It worked, it worked, we don't have to be afraid of winter anymore..."
The orcs cried and laughed.
After a while, no one knew who led the way, but everyone suddenly rushed towards Bai Yue's cave.
Bai Yue had been feeling sleepy and hungry recently, so she took a day off to rest and see if there was anything wrong with her body.
As for the kang, someone would inform her whether it was successful or not, so she just had to wait patiently.
But she never expected that what was waiting for her would be something beyond her expectations.
"Yue! Yue female!"
“…”
Bai Yue, who had been tossing and turning on the straw bed for several times but couldn't find a suitable sleeping position, suddenly stopped. Was someone calling her just now?
She held her breath and listened for a while, and found that more than one person was shouting, so she immediately got up, her heart pounding.
Could it be that something happened in the fire pit cave?
However, as soon as she reached the platform, what awaited her was the scene of all the goat orcs kneeling down.
"Look! It's Yue! It's Yue coming out!"
"No, we shouldn't call her Yue, we should call her Lady Yue! She came from a distant ape tribe and passed on the wisdom of her tribe to us. We should respect her as Lady!"
"Yes. She also knows herbs. At least she has received the gift of God."
“…”
Everyone talked at once, and then lifted Bai Yue to the same level as the witch doctor.
They cheered.
They were secretly delighted.
So, holding hands, calling each other's names, they knelt down in front of Bai Yue on the snow: "Thank you, Master Yue."
[Congratulations, host, for completing side quest one. Your space will increase by 200 square meters. Please be prepared.]
At the same time, the system's voice sounded in her mind.
The space stored on the red dot on the index finger expanded twenty times at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The water and rice crackers originally stored inside suddenly shrank into a small ball, occupying less than one-ninth of the space.
Bai Yue was very happy.
The larger the space, the stronger her means of preserving her life will be.
The success of the first fire pit gave the Goat Tribe new hope. In the following days, in addition to storing food, they spent the rest of their time building new fire pits.
They didn't plan to build a cave for each person, just a few large ones. After all, the more orcs stayed together in the winter, the greater their chances of survival.
The snowflakes are sometimes big and sometimes small, slowly drifting from the north to the south.
While all the members of the Goat Tribe started construction, the White Fox Tribe, which had just moved to a nearby place, also built a new kang.
"Chief, if the witch doctor knew about this, he would probably beat me to death." Cang scratched his face anxiously and tried to dissuade the chief.
But the White Fox Chieftain was not so easy to talk to. He glanced at him lightly with a hint of contempt in his eyes.
"If you don't tell me about this, and I don't tell you, how would the witch doctor know?" He threw the hide at his face again. "Also, if I hadn't gone with you quietly this time, would you not have told me about this?"
This is a major issue that determines whether the entire White Fox Tribe can survive the winter.
He, an orc from the White Fox Tribe, was actually hiding it.
