"What is this?" an orc asked in confusion after receiving the package.
"I don't know..."
Ling Yunxi opened the package after receiving it and took out the items one by one—
Bone needles, animal hide, scissors, and fine thread.
"Everyone can see the items in their hands, right?" the beastmaster on the stage shouted.
"Beastmaster, what are you going to do with this?" an orc asked.
“What you are wearing now are all animal hides. Large animal hides are generally enough, but if they are too small, they are thrown away.”
“Yes,” one of the orcs replied.
“But who can guarantee that every orc will be able to hunt large animals?” the orc master continued.
“This… is possible?” an orc replied proudly.
"I believe that every orc here is here with the mission of learning for your respective tribes, and you will all pass on your skills when you return."
“You are all orcs selected from among the best in the tribe, and your abilities are naturally stronger than most orcs in your tribe. Just because you can hunt large animals does not mean that other orcs can hunt them as well.”
As soon as the beastmaster finished speaking, many beastmen fell into deep thought.
"So, the new course is to teach you how to sew fur."
"What you have now are a few small pieces of fur. Sew them together with bone needles so that you can wear them. That's the content of today's lesson."
"Okay, now follow me to thread the needle..."
Ling Yunxi spread out the several pieces of fur in her hand and looked down to estimate her current size.
Then they began threading the needle.
"Now, you will sit in pairs, each pair of beastmen, and take each other's measurements," the beast master said.
As soon as he finished speaking, many voices of conversation filled the classroom.
Ling Yunxi paused in her threading motion, her brows furrowing slightly as she glanced at the orc sitting next to her.
As soon as Xiao Yeyu picked up the bone needle, an unnatural expression flashed across his face, and a barely perceptible resistance flickered in his cold eyes: "Do we really have to measure each other with our deskmates? I can do it myself."
The beastmaster frowned: "It's fine to measure yourself, but please help your neighbor too..."
Seeing her sitting alone, engrossed in her work, with no one to take her measurements, Chi Yanling sneered inwardly, "Serves her right."
“Exactly,” an orc chimed in, “This is the proper punishment for her!”
“Beast Master, I don’t need it,” Ling Yunxi said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Chi Yanling's mocking gaze froze.
"Heh," Xiao Yeyu scoffed lightly, his words full of disdain, a slight smirk playing on his lips, "At least you have some self-awareness, saving me from..."
He paused slightly, coughed lightly, and then fell silent.
A hint of surprise flashed deep in his eyes.
This is the best time for her to find an opportunity to get closer to him.
She refused outright.
"Hahahaha..." Laughter from many orcs echoed through the school.
"What karma!"
Xiao Yeyu glanced at the orcs who were mocking her, a feeling she couldn't quite describe welling up inside her.
After a moment of silence, he spoke stiffly: "It's so noisy. What's so funny about measuring someone's body?"
The tailor frowned, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes as he glanced at her figure. "Are you sure you don't need it?"
"Mm," Ling Yunxi replied, bowing her head to continue preparing the cutting.
The beastmaster recalled the rumors about her in the wolf clan, and beside her was one of the male beastmen who hated her the most. She took a deep breath, "How about I take your measurements?"
"There's really no need to trouble yourself," Ling Yunxi said, looking up at them.
"Beastmaster, I need it," an orc shouted.
"Alright, ask me for help if you need anything else." The beastmaster then stopped asking her questions and went to help the other beastmen.
"I really don't understand what she's pretending for?"
"Even the beast master asked her, and she still refused," Jiang Yichuan said with a disdainful look. "She just wants Xiao Yeyu to help her measure so she can have close contact with her!"
"Hmph..." Xuan Yize snorted coldly, feeling inexplicably irritated. "Xiao Yeyu... is a beastman who really dislikes being called a beastman's husband by her, so how could she possibly help her?"
Mo Yanche, who was at the back of the classroom, looked up at her and felt a strange emotion welling up inside him.
Could it be that she's still thinking about him and wants his help?
But she didn't turn around...
"Hey, Yan Che, Yan Che, tighten it up for me!" shouted the orc being measured by him.
Mo Yanche snapped out of his daze, loosened his grip slightly, and said in a low voice, "Sorry."
Then continue measuring.
"Qi Liyuan, why don't you go and take her measurements?"
The orc beside Qi Liyuan raised an eyebrow, looking on with amusement.
"Go if you want to." A ruthless glint flashed in Qi Liyuan's golden snake eyes as he spoke in an icy tone.
"Oh." The orc beside him wisely shut up.
"Yunxi, I'll help you after I've taken the measurement," Chili said from behind.
"No need, Chi Li." Ling Yunxi looked up and smiled. "I know my own figure well."
"Okay then..."
Xiao Yeyu was somewhat surprised to hear her refusal.
He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, noticing her calm expression, and couldn't help but sneer, his words laced with sarcasm, "Heh, you do have some self-awareness, but..."
He paused slightly, his gaze towards her somewhat complicated.
"But what?" Ling Yunxi asked, engrossed in sewing the fur.
“However,” he paused deliberately, tapping the table lightly with his fingertips, making a rhythmic sound.
"You're so fat, it doesn't really matter whether you measure it or not."
Ling Yunxi paused in her stitching, ignoring him, and continued sewing.
Seeing her focused expression, I felt inexplicably annoyed.
Seeing that she ignored him, Xiao Yeyu felt somewhat uncomfortable, and a nameless anger inexplicably rose in his heart, but he didn't hold back: "What? Did I hit the nail on the head? Now you have nothing to say?"
"You're right about everything," Ling Yunxi said, speechless.
Seeing that she wasn't as clingy as before, Xiao Yeyu felt an indescribable emotion welling up inside him, and subconsciously blurted out, "Am I not telling the truth?"
"..."
Ling Yunxi turned the fur over and continued sewing.
Xiao Yeyu caught a glimpse of her movements out of the corner of his eye, a barely perceptible look of surprise flashing in his eyes. He casually asked, "You've already started sewing?"
A moment later, "Okay, are all the measurements taken?"
The animal trainer returned to the podium. "Now, use the fur on your desks to sew according to the measured dimensions."
By this time, Ling Yunxi had almost finished sewing.
"Like me, I started by crossing over here, and then I crossed over there..."
Xiao Yeyu looked at her with a hint of inquiry, thinking to himself that she seemed a little different from before.
"I didn't expect you to be so quick." His tone was still cold, but less disgusted.
Looking at her nearly completed work, Xiao Yeyu's expression became more complicated, and he felt a mix of emotions.
After a moment of silence, struggling with whether to speak, she hesitated for a long time before awkwardly asking, "Um... you're sewing so fast all by yourself, do you need any help?"
He felt somewhat annoyed after saying that.
