Chapter 60: I leave it to you to hatch the eggs
Although Teng lost his beast crystal and his life span was shortened, he still retained the physical strength that an orc should have.
On the way back to the Cangshan tribe, Fu Ying lay on Teng's back with her arms around his neck. He carried her steadily on his back, and her steps did not even stumble as she jumped and leaped.
She lowered her eyes to look at his hard, curved face, with his usual sharpness between his brows.
Fu Yingcou couldn't help but bend his eyes, leaned forward, and gently placed his soft lips on his tense cheek.
Teng's breathing stagnated slightly, but his steps did not stop. Only a thin layer of red quietly spread across the tips of his ears.
Fu Ying asked softly, "Are you anxious to leave the Cangshan Tribe?"
Her warm breath sprayed against his ears, making Teng even more uncomfortable. He had never been so close to a female before.
He pursed his lips, tilted his head slightly, and said, "It doesn't matter whether I'm in the Cangshan Tribe or not. The rainy season is coming soon. Perhaps staying in the tribe is a better choice."
"For me?" Fu Ying tilted his head and asked in a low voice.
"The rainy season is very dangerous. Torrential rains continue, rivers swell, and poisonous miasma spreads. The orcs have to store food in advance and hibernate to avoid disasters. Some tribes even suffer from epidemics, and the entire tribe will die suddenly."
As he spoke, Teng's dark green pupils locked onto Fu Ying, with a hint of solemnity in his brows.
"The most dangerous are the beasts that are driven into a desperate situation due to hunger."
"They have no intelligence. If they get mad with hunger, they'll even eat their own cubs."
"During the rainy season in previous years, wild beasts came out in droves, and many tribes were destroyed."
Teng looked at Fu Ying, who had her eyes wide open, without any fear or hesitation, as if the dangerous rainy season he was talking about was nothing more than a cloud or a gust of wind passing through the sky, insignificant to her.
——She is not afraid.
This realization made Teng feel helpless.
He vaguely sensed that Huahua was unfamiliar with everything on the Orc Continent, including the Thorn Cliff and the rainy season. She didn't seem to be a female from Beishan, nor did she belong here.
His Adam's apple rolled, and his fingertips subconsciously folded together as he asked, "Huahua, where are you from?"
"A wandering orc goes everywhere. I can't answer the question of where I came from. Teng, will you dislike me?" Fu Ying blinked, staring straight at Teng.
"No!" Teng responded subconsciously.
He murmured, "I'm just afraid that one day you will leave here."
As he spoke, his eyes became sore and his chest felt as if he had been punched, stuffy and painful.
Fu Ying's eyes were filled with smiles: "I still want to have cubs with you, I won't leave."
When the word "cub" was mentioned, Teng paused slightly and did not ask about what happened at the foot of the thorny cliff.
His Adam's apple moved slightly, and his voice was slightly lowered, with a somewhat stiff gentleness: "Snake cubs are laid from eggs."
As he spoke, the wrinkles on his neck felt slightly hot, but he ignored them, blinking his long, curly eyelashes slightly. He continued seriously, "The egg is small, so it won't be too hard for you."
After a pause, he quickly added, "We can hatch a few more nests."
Fu Ying looked at Teng with some surprise. The most proud and unruly arrogant and cold-blooded orc could actually say sweet words.
"Okay." Fu Ying smiled.
Without thinking twice, she agreed and tried to coax the man into a happy mood.
Then, Fu Ying rubbed the back of Teng's neck and said in a long tone: "I heard that hatching eggs is the job of males, right? When the time comes, I will leave it to you to hatch the eggs--"
Teng's body suddenly tensed up and his breathing became irregular.
After a moment, he curled the corners of his lips, and there was both coldness and tenderness in his dark green eyes.
Even though he knew that the beast crystal had been dug out and it was difficult to recover, and that he might never have cubs in his life, he was still very happy to hear her words. This kind of life was his salvation and what he had always dreamed of.
The Teng supported Fuying and carried her more steadily.
The night wind blew through, lifting his long white hair. The missing piece of beast crystal in his heart should have been extremely painful, but because of the faint warmth coming from his back, it seemed to be filled and the pain was not so severe.

Along the way, Mo Yan led the way.
His scarlet body meandered around, emitting the aura of a six-star beastman, intimidating the surrounding beasts.
However, he would look back at Teng and Fuying from time to time, and the coldness and darkness in his eyes became more and more intense.
"vomit--"
A weak retching sound broke the silence of the forest.
Mo Yan turned his head impatiently, and his cold vertical pupils swept towards the female with her tail curled up - Xishan.
She was forced to maintain this position the entire time, swaying and rocking with his swimming. The fact that she was able to hold back until now without vomiting was considered a testament to her great endurance.
Xishan's face was pale, and his fingers were clenched tightly around his scales, his knuckles turning white.
A hint of annoyance flashed in Mo Yan's eyes.
"Hold on." His voice was low, carrying an unquestionable command: "We're almost there."
"Mo Yan..." Black Bear, who had been following him, disagreed a little.
This was Gui in his beast form, carrying the still unconscious Lan and Mo Mu on his back.
"Once we return to the Cangshan Tribe and resolve the Viper Saliva issue, it's time for you to become the leader. Although you'll need to form a bond with a female snake, the cub in Xishan's belly is also very important. Do you understand?"
In the tribal survival records, the innate talents of the cubs often represent the strength of the males.
No matter who gave birth to the cub, as long as it is talented or a precious female cub, it is the glory of the tribe, just like the former Teng, who was born by Mo Shan and another female. However, he was born strong and threatened Mo Yan's position as the leader. When Fu Ying did not appear, even Mo Yan had to avoid him.
"This Huahua's methods are cunning. No one knows if she can really cure the disease."
"Once the Teng Beast Crystal returns and its strength is restored, Mo Yan, what do you want to see?"
"Don't miss this opportunity. After returning to the Cangshan Tribe, you must become the leader immediately!"
“…”
Gui kept chattering aside, and Mo Yan's scarlet eyes were full of displeasure.
He said in a deep voice: "Teng has already said that he has never cared about the position of leader."
If he still rushed to be the leader, it would be like he was snatching something that others didn't want.
"Stupid!" Gui scolded.
"You've also seen that Huahua, as a witch, has unpredictable methods and values Teng very much. If she really allows Teng to regain his strength, Mo Yan, do you think someone as flamboyant as Teng would always be willing to be inferior to others?"
"Even if he disdains the position of leader, once his strength is restored, who in the entire Cangshan tribe can defy his will? Don't forget how the people of the tribe praised him back then!"
"Instead of waiting for him to take power passively, why not consolidate your own position first!"
"Someone has to take the position of leader of the Cangshan tribe!"
Mo Yan listened to Gui's words, turned around to look at Teng, who was carrying Fu Ying on his back, with a gentle expression on his face. He suddenly sneered, his voice poisonous and almost sharp: "Why would Teng fight for power by recognizing a son of filthy blood?"
Hearing this, Gui looked at Mo Yan with complicated eyes.
You also know that it's a filthy bloodline? I don't know who just fought for it, but you still want to raise this filthy bloodline yourself. Stupid! Stupid!
