Chapter 48: Beast World (12)
At noon that day, they finally arrived in the south. It was still the scorching hot season here. Mengze changed Chuyun's thick animal skin clothes and put on a white sleeveless long dress made of snake skin, which sparkled in the sun.
This place is close to the sea and has a humid climate. Mengze reminds Chuyun not to go to the beach alone because there will be mermaids.
"Why? Are the mermaids scary?"
Chu Yun was very interested. There were actually mermaids in this beast world! He wanted to go and see them.
"Yeah, that's scary. Mermen are evil and they even eat orcs!"
Mengze scared Chuyun without changing his expression. Sure enough, Chuyun's two big ears twitched with fear, so he rubbed them.
The male mermaids are extremely shameless and lustful. When they see a beautiful female, they will pester her and if that doesn't work, they will simply drag her back into the sea.
Although Chu Yun is a male...but looking at Chu Yun's face that is more beautiful than both males and females, and the alluring scent on his body...
It will definitely be noticed!
Mengze put everything in the tree hole and started cooking. Today's lunch was still the owner of the tree hole.
Chu Yun accepted the bird legs that Meng Ze fed him, chewed them fragrantly, and asked:
"Mengze, why do you like living in a tree hole so much?"
Meng Ze slowly wiped the corners of Chu Yun's lips and began to squeeze juice for Chu Yun:
"A tree hole is safer than a cave. Do you want to live in a cave?"
Chu Yun shook his head. It didn't matter where he lived. Caves were easily damp and they were large and spacious. Chu Yun didn't feel safe.
It’s better to live in a small tree hole.
After dinner, Chu Yun instructed Meng Ze to renovate this simple tree hole.
Apart from that kind of thing, Mengze is very obedient at other times. He won't go west if you tell him to go east!
[You're quite impressive then~]
"001! What's wrong with you lately? Why are you talking so sarcastic?"
001 didn't answer, but asked Chu Yun: [Do you like this stupid and smelly snake?]
When Chu Yun heard this, he looked at the busy Mengze. He was installing a door curtain at the entrance and had also opened up many storage compartments in the house.
He was very serious about his work, methodical and serious. Unlike Mengze, whom Chuyun faced every day, he loved to smile at Chuyun.
Without even thinking, Chu Yun heard his own answer:
"I don't hate it anyway."
It was ambiguous, and 001 couldn't see through Chu Yun's thoughts.
But that doesn't stop it from getting angry. The synonym for "not hating" among humans is "liking". Damn stinky snake!
Mengze finally finished cleaning up. The small tree hole had changed a lot. The uneven places in the hole were polished smooth, and all the small bits and pieces were placed in the grids on the wall. The whole hole looked more spacious and tidy.
Mengze picked some flowers and put them at the entrance of the cave in a very romantic way, while Chuyun lay on the bed swinging her legs.
"Little rabbit, let's go out for a walk. Don't you love to see the scenery?"
Chu Yun hesitated.
Mengze picked him up and let him sit on his arms. The little rabbit was good in every way except that he was extremely lazy and didn't want to walk at all.
The trees here are a little different from those in the north. They are thin and tall, and their large leaves can be used as tents. They have a bit of the flavor of a tropical rainforest.
It is the hot season as expected. I started sweating after being out for a while. The hot and humid air is very uncomfortable, but Mengze didn’t feel it. He felt cool all the time.
It was so hot that Chu Yun didn't care about being reserved. She lay on Mengze, with her hot face pressed against Mengze's chin and neck.
Much more comfortable...
Mengze was happy to let Chuyun stick close to him. It was so wonderful to feel the other person's body temperature.
He took out a big leaf to shade Chuyun from the sun. The sun was very strong and he was afraid that Chuyun would get sunburned.
Chu Yun was carried all the way like this without attracting the attention of other orcs, because many females were carried by their males and no one was walking.
——No, there is one.
Looking at the girl in front wearing an animal skin skirt.
Chu Yun immediately identified that this was the heroine Luo Qianqian, because the females here... how to say it, were not good-looking, so it was easy for him to notice Luo Qianqian.
At this moment, her long braided hair fell to her waist, her small face, the size of a palm, was a little pale, and her eyes looked around anxiously.
Next to her was a tall, strong, three-striped male, a leopard beastman, who was talking to her attentively.
Mengze noticed Chuyun's gaze and followed it, narrowing his eyes slightly, and the snake tail behind him stopped swaying.
Noticing Mengze stopped, Chuyun asked, "What's wrong?"
Mengze didn't say anything. At this time, Luo Qianqian came over from the opposite side. He took the leaves and covered Chuyun tightly.
Several people passed by.
Chu Yun's vision was blocked. Luo Qianqian had already left. It didn't matter. There would definitely be a chance for them to meet again.
Chu Yun felt the arm around her waist tighten, and only then did Meng Ze reply half a beat late: "Nothing."
If I were to say what the biggest gain from this trip was, it would definitely be discovering the sheep tribe.
The orcs of the sheep tribe are particularly good at farming, and many orcs go to them to exchange meat for sweet potatoes, potatoes and other things.
Many people lined up to exchange things, and Chu Yun discovered that there was rice in the sheep tribe!
Good heavens, he'd been eating meat and potatoes for so long. Finally, rice!
Chu Yun patted Meng Ze's head excitedly, and Meng Ze understood. The little rabbit wanted rice, but rice was terrible. It turned black when baked and was very hard. Could the little rabbit's teeth eat it?
Without asking any questions, Mengze took a hunted wild boar to exchange for rice.
When many orcs saw the stray beasts coming, accompanied by females, they all hid away. They did not welcome the stray beasts and were about to pick up their weapons to drive them away.
It looks like a four-striped beast?!
...and they all put down their weapons.
Not wanting to cause trouble and also considering stray beasts unlucky, many beastmen took their females and left.
In the blink of an eye, there was no one on the field except the sheep orcs.
Chu Yun was almost furious. What was wrong with stray animals? This was discrimination! Exclusion! Targeting!
"...Mengze, I don't want to eat anymore... Can we go home?"
Chu Yun was angry for Meng Ze, and she spoke in a soft voice, aggrieved, and wanted to go home.
Mengze has encountered this kind of situation too many times since he was a child, and he no longer takes it seriously. Now he has a little rabbit who feels sorry for him. Mengze feels that his heart, which has been cold for many years, has melted into water.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay."
The people of the sheep tribe saw that the little female in the snake beast's arms wanted to eat rice. Maybe this female had never eaten it before and wanted to try it.
Although they hated the stray beast, they were very friendly to the females.
"Female, if you want to eat it, I'll give it to you. But it's best not to eat it roasted, as it tastes bitter and hard."
Chu Yun buried his head in Mengze's neck, feeling depressed and speechless. Mengze patted his back soothingly and wanted to laugh. The little rabbit was polite to everyone, and this was the first time he ignored someone.
But Mengze was very happy, as if he had eaten honey.
He took away a bag of rice, gave the wild boar to the sheep tribe, and left.
On the way, Chu Yun and Meng Ze talked about how to make rice taste better. Their mood was no longer as depressed as before, and they were only excited about being able to eat the staple food.
"Mengze, you will definitely like it. Let me cook today."
001 looked at Chu Yun with some unhappiness. He saw the changes in Chu Yun. He felt more comfortable getting along with this stupid snake and overcame the fear in his heart.
——She loves to act like a spoiled child and throw tantrums more often.
The snake beast was indeed very good to Chu Yun. Chu Yun's pointed chin was gone because of him, and was replaced by a round face. He looked so plump and smooth that even it... it wanted to kiss him.
Mengze touched Chuyun's face and couldn't let go:
"You teach me and I do it. The flames could easily hurt you."
