There is less than half a month left before the arrival of winter. The hibernating orcs in the tribe have gradually become quiet, and there are fewer people attending the customary dinner by the campfire every night. Thinking of the Siren, Xu Nuo couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Siren, can you hibernate?"
The mermaid's obsidian black eyes looked straight at him and shook her head.
The Siren was not lying. Mermaids were like a bug in the Orc Continent. He used to think that life was long and boring. The sea was even calmer in winter without a single ripple. He simply found a corner in the deep sea where no one would disturb him and fell into a deep sleep, just to pass the time.
It’s different now. The Siren is so excited just thinking about being able to stick to the little female for the whole winter that he has no place to vent his excitement. He simply demands more energy every night.
"Well... let's go back to the beach in a few days, as I promised you before." The boy's fair face was much rounder than when they first met, with a little milk fat on it, looking so tempting that you want to take a bite.
The unsuspecting little hamster had no idea what dark thoughts the male in front of him had. Only Siren himself knew how much he wanted to take Xu Nuo back to the sea and lock him up by his side forever.
It took Siren a long, long time before she could hear her own hoarse voice.
"Are you really going back with me?"
You still have other options.
"Of course! I didn't lie to you!" Xu Nuo straightened his neck and looked serious.
"The sea is boring."
So don't regret it, baby.
"Don't you still have me to accompany you?" The young man smiled.
"Yeah, I'm always with you, baby."
Baby, please stay by my side all the time.
Xu Nuo realized it belatedly and felt a little shy. She gently scratched the hair on the back of his head and gave him a light kiss on the cheek. "How about we hold the bond ceremony before winter comes?"
The dark and shameful thoughts that had just emerged in Siren's mind were completely washed away by his frank and sincere love.
The covenant ceremony has a high status in the Orc Continent. Literally, it means that the male and female have concluded a contract, and the two swear to the orcs that they will never betray each other and will never be separated in this life.
The Beast God is the only noblest belief of the orcs on this continent. No orc will easily swear to the Beast God. After the female orcs and the male orcs form a contract, their relationship will become closer than before. The Beast God will bless the partners after the contract, and naturally will punish the orcs who violate the contract.
Taking the initiative to propose a contract is equivalent to making a promise to him. The young man in front of him was serious in his eyes, and his expression was firm and with a hint of expectation.
"good."
The moonlight outside the cave shone in through the cave entrance. The Siren's black fish tail was coated with a layer of gauze, reducing its aggressiveness.
The temperature in the cave rose and the atmosphere became sticky unknowingly. It was not known who took the initiative first, but once their lips touched, they became inseparable.
…
Fen glanced sideways, looking at the High Priest in front of him in surprise, "Do you really want to make a pact?"
"After the contract is signed, there can be no other males..."
"I know everything, Chief," Xu Nuo interrupted him softly, "I want to form a pact with Siren. Are you willing to be a witness?"
The covenant ceremony is complete only with the participation and witness of a respected elder in the tribe.
Fen looked at him with regret again. Logically, Xu Nuo was a priest of the Giant Tree Tribe. His status and talent, coupled with his handsome appearance, were enough to make him enjoy the favor of many male orcs. He would have surplus food and a variety of other things much more than other females.
Although the Siren is the lord of the sea, having him as a male makes no difference.
"Of course. What about the time for the bond ceremony...?"
"How about the day after tomorrow?" Xu Nuo thought for a while and chose a day nearby.
Finn naturally had no objection.
…
On the day of the contract-binding ceremony, although Xu Nuo had predicted it with his 666 golden finger, he was still surprised by the good weather.
As winter approaches, the sun is covered by thick clouds and rarely comes out. However, today is a rare sunny day and the temperature has risen slightly.
Kira and his two cubs gathered many wildflowers that were still in bloom and decorated the altar in the center of the tribe. Fen stood in front of the altar, watching the two of them quietly.
Siren held Xu Nuo's hand tightly and felt a little nervous for the first time. Xu Nuo was the same and was comforted by his lover who pinched his palm.
The covenant ceremony was somewhat similar to a modern Western wedding, except that the words were changed and Xu Nuo stuttered nervously after reciting the oath. The next step was for the two to cut their fingers and drip a drop of blood onto the altar before the covenant ceremony was complete.
Siren didn't hesitate at all, revealing her sharp nails and scratching her fingertips, squeezing out a drop of bright red blood onto the altar.
The hamster didn't have sharp claws, so it had to bite its index finger hard. Surprisingly, it didn't feel any pain at all. It must have been the blessing of the beast god.
Bright red blood beads flowed from the white and tender fingertips, dripped onto the center of the altar, and mixed with the blood of the Siren.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Xu Nuo always felt that the altar emitted a faint white light, which quickly disappeared. The blood drops on the altar were like puddles of water evaporated in the sun, and disappeared in a moment.
"Ding! Heartbeat value 95!"
"Ding! Heart rate 100!"
"The bond ceremony is completed, and Lord Beast God has recognized you!" Fen was very excited and announced loudly.
Xu Nuo did feel that a subtle connection once again connected him and the Siren, and he could perceive the Siren's emotions more clearly.
For example, the mermaid still had the same expression, but Xu Nuo knew that he was about to be overwhelmed by joy and excitement.
When people are extremely excited, they are unable to speak. Xu Nuo felt as if his eyes were covered with moisture, and he could not see clearly, but suddenly he was held in Siren's arms.
The orcs in the audience let out a good-natured jeer, and Lei, the little male cub from Qila's family, seemed to have forgotten his "broken heart" and joined in the booing.
…
Two days before winter came, Xu Nuo and Siren swam down the river that had not yet frozen and soon reached the sea.
The sea was very quiet at this time, as if silently watching the old man. Xu Nuo had eaten the mermaid pearl and possessed the ability of a mermaid in the sea. The somewhat cold water was also comfortable for him.
Siren hasn't been back for a long time. I thought I wouldn't miss her too much, but now I'm returning to the familiar sea with my lover, and it feels like a dream.
Because of the power of the contract, Xu Nuo knew what he was thinking, and he put his arms around his neck and kissed him. The mermaid was stunned for a moment, then began to kiss him back fiercely.
"Let's... go home together."
Siren smiled clearly for the first time. He had a superior appearance, but he always seemed aloof. Now, he was just a male facing his beloved female. "Go home."
