Chapter 070 Extra 4
At nine o'clock in the evening, Eli hunted a rabbit.
He ignored the males who were holding larger prey and inviting him to dinner, and instead ran to the edge of the forest with an elegant cat-like gait.
A week ago, he discovered a white cliff there.
When the weather is clear, the sun will make the grass on the cliffs shine, and even the limestone on the cliffs will glow white.
Eli often wondered, if he jumped from here, fell into the sea, and swam across the endless deep blue, what would be on the other side of the sea?
Will there be a forest too?
He slept for a long time this afternoon and went hunting too late, so when he arrived at the cliff with the rabbit in his mouth, it was already dusk.
The huge orange sun hung in the sky very close to Eli, as if he could touch it with just a stretch of his claws.
Eli quickly transformed into human form, picked up a stick, skewered the processed rabbit meat, and then lit it with the flint he had hidden under a large rock.
Soon, the aroma of burnt oil spread in the air.
The pretty white-haired boy licked his canines.
Eli was very pleased with his craftsmanship.
"Hello." A voice came from behind.
Eli immediately turned around alertly and saw that behind him was a male... no, a man.
A handsome man with long hair and wearing a white robe.
His hair was silver-white, more lustrous than his own white hair.
“You have beautiful hair,” Eli said.
"Huh?" The man was stunned by the sudden compliment.
"But you shouldn't go into the Dark Forest alone, human." Eli bared his teeth at him in a menacing manner, "The forest is full of wild beasts that can easily tear you apart."
Eli was very confident in his sense of smell. He was sure that he could smell the scent of all the orcs in the forest and determine their race.
But just now, he did not smell any animal scent on the stranger in front of him.
This shows that he is not a male orc.
But a human male, a man.
This is very unusual in the Dark Forest.
"Really? Is it that powerful?" When the man said this, his eyes were careless and there was a smile similar to contempt on his face, which made Eli feel very uncomfortable.
So the next second, he suddenly changed back into beast form.
The snow-white leopard with black rose patterns swooped down and threw the man to the ground. Its canine teeth pressed against his Adam's apple, and it threatened in a low voice, "I can bite you to death right now... Meow~"
The snow leopard's eyes widened as a large hand grabbed the back of its neck.
Eli was shocked and said, "Damn human! What did you do to me?"
He felt his muscles go weak and his head feel dizzy.
I especially want to find something soft to sharpen my claws and rub my scalp.
The snow leopard's four paws were too weak to lift, so it simply lay on the man with its legs spread out, rubbing its chin against his collarbone to tickle him. Its round pupils outlined with dark eyeliner looked more like it was flirting than glaring.
"It's just some camphor grass." The man shook the green beads on his wrist and explained, "By the way, you're quite heavy. You should be a female half-orc, right? Why are you so fat?"
Snow Leopard was extremely angry when his body was criticized.
He was so dazed that he couldn't come up with any forceful rebuttal.
She had to use the rubbing posture to smear the cat saliva that flowed uncontrollably from her mouth onto the man's clean clothes.
…
Half an hour later, Eli finally returned to normal.
He squatted and licked his paws gracefully, showing no sign of the foolish look he had shown half an hour ago when he was rolling on the ground with his belly, asking a man to scratch his chin.
"Human, what is your name?" Eli asked him.
"Amber." The man smiled.
He was grilling fish as an apology for the burnt rabbit given to the snow leopard.
"Why did you come to the Dark Forest alone?" Eli tried to persuade him. "Not all orcs will be defeated by the camphor weed in your body like I am."
"Of course," Amber replied, "because camphor grass only works on kittens - it was originally used to repel insects, and I forgot that it also has a huge appeal to felines."
He let the grilled fish cool down a bit and handed it to the snow leopard.
The snow leopard opened its mouth and tried to swallow the big fish, but found that it could not swallow it in one gulp, so it simply turned back into human form.
The little beauty snatched the grilled fish from the man's hand, cautiously moved away from him, and then started eating.
"How old are you?" Amber asked casually.
"Seventeen," Eli answered, but then he tilted his head, thinking for a moment, and corrected himself. "Maybe eighteen. I can't remember."
"Your parents..."
"I don't have any parents. I'm all alone."
"Feel sorry."
"It's okay, it's fine to be alone."
Amber thought, indeed, you take good care of yourself on your own.
The original form is fat and plump, with clean and smooth fur, and pretty good skills.
After finishing dinner, the sun had already set.
Eli asked him, "But you haven't told me why you came here. Humans don't belong in the forest."
"But the forest doesn't entirely belong to the orcs," Amber replied. "I came here because of a question of stance."
A question of stance? It seems to be a very profound question.
Just like the long-standing struggle between cats and dogs, Eli's boss, a tiger, also said that it was a question of stance.
Eli seemed to understand.
The cool night breeze made Eli feel a little cold, and he wanted to go back to the tree house to sleep.
As a feline half-orc, he really loves to sleep.
But Eli was a kind-hearted cat. He couldn't bear to see this human who could grill delicious fish die, so he asked him, "Would you like to come to my tree house? If you grill fish for me every day, I can take you in temporarily."
Eli didn't think there was anything wrong with him, a female half-orc, taking in a human male.
He didn't understand at the time that if a kitten stayed with a human for a long time, it would be tamed by that person.
You will like and depend on that person.
I would like to be with him forever.
So later, when Amber hit a wall with Pan and planned to return to the Vatican.
Amber asked Eli, "Do you want to come with me?"
Eli shook his head and asked him, "Do you want to stay for me?"
Amber shook her head as well.
They separated.
Just like Eli didn't know how Amber suddenly appeared behind him that day.
When Amber left, she left without leaving any words or belongings.
Suddenly one day, he disappeared completely.
For the next ten years, the kitten never saw the human he had taken in again.
·
After receiving the news that there were orcs sneaking in, Amber felt that it might be the cat he had tamed.
It was a very beautiful and cute snow leopard, although a little fat.
Amber had spent a long time with him in the form of an ordinary, down-and-out, homeless human male.
He tamed the cat with delicious grilled fish.
Let the cat reject the pursuit of all male orcs.
Expressing love to yourself without knowing why.
No one could say no to a cat like that, least of all Amber.
So the cat became a lover.
Sometimes, lying on the simple bed in the tree house, hugging his cat, Amber would think, it would be nice if I were just an ordinary, down-and-out, homeless man, accidentally taken in by a kitten.
There is no need to make any decisions - for this trip, the Vatican only told the outside world that the high priest went to the Holy Mountain.
But in fact, Amber was sent into the dark forest by Wheel Eyeball to meet their stubborn brother.
The result was that I didn’t see it.
Fortunately, the Centaurs were won over and a friendly alliance was signed with the Human Empire.
Amber had his work cut out for him, and he couldn't stay in this little, warm tree house cat den forever.
Before leaving, he asked Eli if he wanted to go with him.
At that time, Eli was following a tiger, and there was a cat-dog fight.
The tiger had protected and raised Eli when he was a child. Eli couldn't leave everything here, so it was natural for them to separate.
Until ten years later, the orcs' homeland fell apart due to force majeure.
Eli carried the two tiger cubs in his mouth, boarded a boat, sailed across the ocean, and arrived at the East Continent.
The East Continent is Amber's territory.
That night, he came to the storage room of the farm that had not yet welcomed its owner and saw the injured cat.
Then, the cat, which was in a state of stress and had been holding a grudge against him for decades, dug its claws into him fiercely.
The cat breathed at him and told him to get lost.
Amber rolled away.
Before leaving, he told the cat: "If you have nowhere else to go, come to me in the Vatican. I will give you a cat bed."
After returning to the Vatican, Amber waited quietly for several days.
Sure enough, the cat came to him on its own initiative.
Cats that have been tamed by humans will never be able to truly leave their owners.
In particular, the owner will really prepare a warm cat bed for him.

After hearing this story, Garcia gave Amber a thumbs-up and said, "You're still the best! You're the best!"
"Hmm." Cat-raising expert Amber remained noncommittal.
"But I still want to say this." Garcia glanced at the scratches on his neck that were almost gone. "This shouldn't be a reason for you to take a leave of absence and leave all the work to me."
Hearing this, Amber sighed.
He began to accuse her of something else: "Garcia, I always thought you were a thoughtful, kind-hearted kid, but you always fuss over little things. Why not be more tolerant? I think you should be more tolerant of someone who is about to be a father - Eli is pregnant, and I'm asking for maternity leave."
"Oh, okay then...what?" Garcia was dumbfounded.
He stood up, his eyes sharp, and looked Amber up and down several times, shocked. "But I clearly remember, if I'm not mistaken, the gestation period of a cat-like half-orc is about three months, right? Some time ago, Eli contradicted your brother and was forcibly transformed into a snow leopard and couldn't change back to human form. I remember this very clearly, you..."
Amber picked up the teacup, took a sip, and didn't explain anything.
Amber thought, "Do you think I don't know that Jophiel once took you to the depths of the sea of consciousness? I saw it all in the shared vision."
Besides, I didn't say how long he had been pregnant, I just mentioned it casually.
Garcia thought he agreed.
Garcia was shocked and speechless for a long time. Finally, he concluded: "You are quite a whiz."
