A male orc? A male orc I picked up.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zheyu became quite excited. Could this person be Shan Xun? Is it Shan Xun?
She tried to squeeze in, but couldn't get in at all. She was even pushed by someone's arm and pushed back a few steps.
The female on the male orc's shoulder, Alya, merely glanced at the other female coldly after hearing her words: "Mind your own business. My beastman and I were picking mushrooms nearby when we encountered a giant insect charging at us. These useless creatures are all worthless, while this one, even injured, managed to tear the insect apart to protect me. Of course, I had to take him back to the tribe for treatment."
"Isn't your Jin Yue here?" another female asked.
"Isn't that obvious? If Jin Yue were here, would I have gotten hurt? Jin Yue has already gone out hunting, leaving only these useless trash to protect me." Alya said with displeasure, "These good-for-nothings almost got me hurt."
Although the female insulted her male beastmen, none of them dared to say anything; they simply lowered their heads, looking ashamed.
“Once he wakes up, I’ll make him my beast mate.” Alia spoke with a condescending tone, feeling that this was a tremendous favor to the injured male beastman. “He must have been secretly in love with me for a long time, otherwise why would he be squatting there waiting for me?”
Alia smiled confidently.
"You just took him in so easily? What if he's a stray beast? Check if he has any beast markings or anything. If he already has a female master, you'll be in an awkward situation." Another female said with a leisurely smile.
“I’ve already checked him. He doesn’t have any animal markings on him, which means he doesn’t have a female master and must be from another tribe,” Alia said slowly. “He probably wanted to join our tribe, so he just happened to come here, and he just happened to see me. He fell in love with me at first sight, so he protected me without hesitation.”
Jiang Zheyu was speechless after hearing what the two females said.
The person in question hasn't said anything yet, and they're already going on and on. While confidence is a good thing, being overly narcissistic is a bit much...
“He really likes you.” But the other female didn’t think anything was amiss and instead praised him.
Jiang Zheyu: ...
Jiang Zheyu couldn't squeeze in, and the only way to get in now was probably to make a sound.
I wonder if the person they're surrounding is actually Shan Xun?
She wasn't very familiar with these people.
However, seeing that the other party seemed to want to send the person to the witch elder for treatment, Jiang Zheyu stopped talking.
It's better to get treatment first.
Jiang Zheyu followed a group of people to the outside of the witch's grandmother's earthen house. They carried the person on a stretcher, but Jiang Zheyu still didn't have time to take a look. She just jumped around like a deer and swayed left and right, but she still couldn't see what the injured person looked like.
It seems that the females in the tribe have too few leisure activities, so whenever there is something exciting to see, all the females gather around, and they even bring their male orcs with them.
"Everyone, go on, what's there to see?" The witch elder began waving people away.
The others then left.
Jiang Zheyu still wanted to know if the person inside was indeed Shan Xun, so she didn't leave for the time being.
Everyone else had left, leaving only Jiang Zheyu, Aliya, and her beast husband there.
Grandma Wu had already closed the door and was inside helping the injured person heal.
Alia noticed Jiang Zheyu, then looked at her, her gaze sweeping over her from head to toe with an air of superior arrogance: "Why aren't you leaving? What are you doing here?"
Jiang Zheyu paused for a moment, then spoke up: "I want to see the injured people inside."
"What are you doing?" Aria frowned deeply. "A female with low fertility has taken a fancy to another male orc? Silver Star, as the tribe's first warrior, actually chose a female with such low fertility as you. You should be secretly happy. You're thinking about other male orcs!"
The bloated female voice was filled with contempt and arrogance, and the words sounded particularly grating to Jiang Zheyu's ears.
Jiang Zheyu felt that the other person's words were very sharp, and she couldn't help but frown: "How can you talk like that? I just wanted to see if the people inside were people I knew. How could you imagine so many things?"
"Then dare you say you have no feelings for the people inside?" Alia pressed.
Jiang Zheyu: ...
If it's a single person inside, then she does have designs on them, but she doesn't even know if the person inside is actually a single person.
“If it were him, I would definitely be interested.” Jiang Zheyu gritted her teeth. “No, I’ll just look and leave.”
"This is someone I picked up. I can let whoever I want see this, and I can let whoever I don't want see this, I don't have to let them see this," Alia said domineeringly.
Jiang Zheyu laughed in anger upon hearing this: "Why are you stopping me from seeing him? If he really fell in love with you at first sight as you say, then he wouldn't have any feelings for me. Why are you so afraid of me seeing him? Are you afraid that the orc will fall for me?"
When Aliya heard Jiang Zheyu's words, she turned red with anger. Last time, during the female fertility test, her beast husband's eyes were glued to Jiang Zheyu.
She's so angry!
"How can you be so narcissistic!" Alia's voice became even sharper. "So what if you're a little fairer-skinned? So what if you're a little prettier? What good is being pretty here? Your fertility rate is so low. If it weren't for Yin Ji protecting you, you would have been thrown into the female cave to fend for yourself long ago!"
Jiang Zheyu said thoughtfully, "You think I'm good-looking too?"
Aria was furious.
"Get out of here, I get annoyed just looking at you!" Alya said, shooing him away.
At this moment, the witch's grandmother's door also opened.
Ignoring Aliya's reaction, Jiang Zheyu rushed over there quickly.
Before Alia could react, she shouted, "Stop her!"
However, Jiang Zheyu quickly dodged and darted inside.
Arya stomped her foot in anger and rushed over as well.
The reason she stopped Jiang Zheyu was because the orc was calling out someone's name even while unconscious.
That person's name is not anyone else, it's Jiang Zheyu's name.
At first, she didn't realize whose name it was, but then she suddenly remembered the female that Yin Ji had picked up; it seemed to be some kind of fish.
She asked again and found out that it was called Jiang Zheyu.
The orc that Aria had her eye on was naturally not one she would give up.
Since the orc didn't have any beast markings, it meant that the orc only liked Jiang Zheyu and they weren't actually together, so she decided to take him in.
Once it's been certified by the witch chief, the orc can't back out even if he wants to.
After all, the witch chief was her own grandmother.
