Xi Lu was silenced again by what he said, "Then you just have to bear with it for now."
There was a flash of helplessness in those blue eyes in the darkness.
After eating half full, drinking some water and consuming some fruit, Xi Lu rinsed her mouth. She didn’t want to walk around in circles tonight. She just wanted to lie on the bed and not move.
But as soon as he woke up, he couldn't fall asleep again, and Xi Lu was recalling the knowledge he had learned from his professional courses in his mind.
She studied Chinese medicine pharmacology and after one year of study, she learned some simple prescriptions and how to identify herbs.
But here, everything looks different, and I don’t know if what I learned is still useful.
"Shi Shen." After a while, she spoke.
"Um?"
"Have you ever been ill?"
"No."
"Do male orcs rarely get sick?"
"Well, adult male orcs rarely get sick."
"Don't you take medicine when you're sick?"
"Go find a witch. The witch will use a stone pot to boil black water and give it to the sick orcs to drink. But after drinking it, many orcs still go to see the Beast God."
Xi Lu thought that the medical conditions were worrying. She absolutely did not want to get sick. She would rather make herself sick before dying of illness. She did not know whether the little things she had learned could save herself.
"I have another question."
"Ask."
"That is, when a female beastman gives birth to a child, is it a human or a beast?"
"Male cubs are in animal form and can only transform into human form two years before reaching adulthood. Female cubs are in human form when they are born."
“How strange.”
Shi Shen didn't respond to her. He grew up here and this is how he perceives things. He didn't feel it was strange.
"What's outside the forest?"
“It’s still a forest.”
"No sea?"
"Yes, but it's very far away. It takes a flying orc a month to see it. The salt is brought back from the other side of the sea."
"Are there orcs in the sea?"
"Yes, a mermaid."
“Is it that the upper body is a human body, and the lower body is a fish tail?”
"Well, their fish tails can also be transformed into legs. Most mermaids are very good-looking."
"I want to see it."
"You want to see other orcs again."
Hearing the resentment in his tone, Xi Lu felt guilty for some reason. She coughed and said, "In our place, mermaids only exist in fairy tales. I've never seen one, so I'm curious."
"I don't want to watch it anymore after I'm done with my curiosity."
"I also want to see the ferruginous beast. The ferruginous beast is a national treasure and a protected animal in our area. There are very few of them now. Everyone likes to see them because they are very cute."
Shi Shen crossed his arms, "Cute? They are very ferocious in the forest. Although they are only a medium-sized tribe, no orc dares to provoke them. When they transform into human form, they are as burly as bear orcs."
"Is that so? But I still want to take a look."
Shi Shen pursed his lips and said, "You said you can only take a look. If you look at those single male iron-eating beasts too much, they will think you like them and come to you to seek a mate."
"Is this true? Don't scare me."
"Here, the most important thing for orcs is survival and reproduction. Single males will look for every opportunity to make themselves attractive to females."
"What about you? When you said you liked me and wanted to be with me, was it also so that I could have your baby?" Xi Lu's voice was a little soft, and no emotion could be heard from it.
Shi Shen stood up and walked over to sit on the animal skin beside her bed. "I haven't thought about having a baby. When I saw you, I just wanted to be your animal companion."
"Before I met you, I had never thought about finding a female mate."
"I just like you very much."
Xi Lu turned around and looked at him. In the dim light, his eyes were as eager as ever.
