Ge Rou held Naima's hand tightly, her lips pursed in fear, the fine lines on her lips stretched out due to the force.

Naima patted her on the shoulder and said, "Okay, there's still time! Go to the punishment cave and explain everything to Manli later.

From now on, stay away from this little female, she is not a good animal!"

Ge Rou nodded, wiped away the tears from her eyes, and expressed her gratitude to her sister-in-law.

Females are protected by the entire Orc Continent because of their frail bodies and rarity, and even after they get married, they still impose many restrictions on males.

As long as the female is not satisfied with the male, she can abandon him at any time.

The abandoned male will never have a partner again in his life and can only grow old alone.

Fortunately, I found out early. If I had known Manli's true face later, I would have been pushing my own child into the fire!

Gerou stood up and approached Xiu Yan, who was handling the prey's fur, and patted his muscular back: "Zai Zai, wait until my mother finds a better female for you!"

Xiu Yan was startled when he heard this, then he put down the animal skin in his hand and turned around: "I don't want it! My partner can only be a male!"

Besides, females are so troublesome and as skinny as cubs. It would be better to find an orc to live with.

Seeing the determination in her child's eyes, Ge Rou knew that nothing she said would change his mind, so she sighed and said, "Okay, whatever you say!"

…

Ji Nuan returned to her cave, enjoyed a delicious dinner, and lay lazily on the stone bed, feeling extremely comfortable.

Let’s go to the small woods near the tribe tomorrow. We caught a few cuckoos today and came back. After finding spicy fruit and cumin fruit, we didn’t explore further. I will go and check it out tomorrow. Maybe I can find some food!

and……

Ji Nuan raised her arm and brought it to her nose to sniff. The smell on her body simply reminded her of Mr. Zhou's "Seven Fragrances".

It's time to find a way to get a bathtub. If cold water doesn't work, she can heat some hot water to take a bath! Otherwise, she will be suffocated to death sooner or later.

Outside the cave, the night enveloped the entire forest. The silvery moonlight seemed like a lithe elf, leaping on the treetops, leading the way for the small animals that came out to forage for food at night.

Wandering on the surface of the river, it attracts the fish in the water to chase after it.

But in the depths of the quiet forest, she only dared to glance at it a few times, casting wisps of silver light, as if she was afraid of being discovered by the ferocious beasts there.

Except for the evening breeze occasionally talking to her, the night was extremely quiet and beautiful.

Ji Nuan had a beautiful dream. In the dream, there were her beloved parents, a close lover and lovely children that she had never had. She couldn't help but laugh out loud in her dream.

…

"Hua La La~" In the silent night, the sound of the river water being stirred up was particularly clear. Looking in the shy moonlight, a tall and handsome figure stood up from the river.

The muscular, long legs walked towards the tribe in the sparkling water.

…

Ji Nuan's biological clock was still very punctual. When she heard the shouts of the hunting team's beastmen in the tribe, she had already finished eating a cuckoo beast leg that was simmering by the fire.

After wiping her face with the wet animal skin, Ji Nuan carried her basket on her back and headed for the small woods next to the tribe. In the basket was a whole steamed cuckoo. That was her lunch.

She planned to walk a little further today to see if she could find other foods that were easy to preserve and bring them back to eat during the cold season.
