Ying Liu'er seemed surprised that Lin Xia would suddenly become so excited, and was momentarily bewildered.
Su Tang's eyelids twitched, and she quickly pulled back the overly emotional Lin Xia, turning to Ying Liuer with a smile and saying:
"It's a good thing that you have a male you like. My mother is so happy. Don't mind. Did you agree to date that male?"
"No, I haven't agreed to him yet." Ying Liu'er shook her head, nervously fidgeting with her fingers.
“Daqing is going back to the farm, and I’m going back with him. He’s a beastman from Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. I want to ask him if he’d like to come with me.”
“We’ve been getting along well these past few days, and if he’s willing, I’ve decided to become his partner.”
She glanced at the two of them, feeling embarrassed.
"I wanted to ask you if I can bring my partner along if I have one?"
She felt a little embarrassed having been staying with her aunt and uncle these past few days. If she had a partner, she could move out and reduce the burden on her aunt and uncle.
They treat Daqing like family, yet they themselves have no right to take advantage of her. What does that make her?
"No..." Lin Xia's first thought was naturally to object and defend Da Qing's love. Before she could finish speaking, Su Tang grabbed her arm and took over the conversation.
“It’s no problem. We’d welcome him if he wanted to go.” Su Tang smiled and winked at Lin Xia from an angle where Ying Liuer couldn’t see.
Lin Xia, who has a fiery temper, managed to calm down with the comfort of her daughter.
"Really?" Ying Liu'er's face lit up with joy. "That's wonderful! Ah Tang, Auntie, thank you for taking care of me these past few days. Once I have a partner, I'll move out and live with him."
Although the stone house was nice, she was too embarrassed to continue living there indefinitely.
"No rush. By the way, what's that male's name? What kind of beastman is he? How does he treat you? Does he intend to leave the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain?"
Su Tang took the opportunity to inquire about the other party's information.
Ying Liu'er blushed and answered her questions one by one.
“I haven’t asked him yet, but he’s been very good to me and has said he’ll be with me no matter what, so I think he should be willing.”
The reason she hesitated to agree was because she was considering leaving the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain in the future.
After spending this time together, Fox Wei's attitude reassured her, and she felt that he was a trustworthy and reliable male.
If she wasn't certain, she would let go no matter how much she liked him.
Because of Daqing, her choices were limited from the very beginning.
Upon hearing this, Su Tang raised an eyebrow.
That means it's not decided yet!
She turned around and gave her mother a reassuring look, gently patting the back of her hand comfortingly.
If the other party is really that good, they should also wish Liu'er well.
This isn't the modern world, but an ancient continent where one wife has multiple husbands. Even if Liu'er has a partner, Da Qing still has a chance, doesn't he?
Even with Lin Xia's fiery temper, she knew at this moment that she shouldn't interfere in this matter.
Sometimes, the more you oppose something, the more counterproductive it becomes.
Moreover, she didn't even have the right to object.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "What do you mean by moving out? You can stay here. When you go back, your aunt will save you a room."
If they move out, wouldn't Daqing's chances become even slimmer?
“Auntie…” Ying Liu’er’s eyes reddened slightly, her heart filled with indescribable emotion.
“You treat me so well, even more gently than my mother.”
Her voice was slightly choked with emotion.
In the Green Eagle tribe, beastmen without value, even females, are destined to become sacrifices. But here, the aunt not only took her in, but also... treated her like a mother.
She thought that if her mother were still alive, she would probably be like her aunt.
Her mother was a gentle and kind woman, just like her aunt.
Lin Xia also took her hand, her eyes full of affection.
"You are such a gentle and quiet girl, I like you very much. It's perfect that you can keep Tangtang company at home. I love a sweet and gentle girl like you."
How could she bear to let such a well-behaved girl be bullied outside?
Su Tang's cheeks twitched as she listened to their conversation.
gentle?
Delicate and soft?
How much do these two people misunderstand each other?
Her mother was surprisingly gentle when she hit people with a hoe, and Liu'er was quite delicate when she fed the tribespeople the blood of the nine-headed bird.
Seeing the two of them so harmonious, like a painting, Su Tang took a deep breath. Oh well, this misunderstanding is fine too.
In fact, there was a reason why Mother and Liu'er got along so well.
Like Liu'er, she preferred to be straightforward and disliked beating around the bush. The difference was that she was simply too lazy to bother, while Liu'er was probably genuinely single-minded...
In this respect, he is somewhat similar to Daqing.
While Su Tang was lost in thought, the two had already agreed to bring Hu Wei back to meet them. They looked as close as mother and daughter.
Seeing Su Tang looking over, Lin Xia secretly gave her an OK sign, which made Su Tang both laugh and cry.
"Awoo!"
The children who were peering out the window at the snow suddenly became restless.
A commotion then arose outside the door.
Su Tang stood up, looking puzzled.
Although there is no cave next to Tiger God here, few orcs come here during the snow season.
"Who's outside? Why is it so noisy?" Lin Xia looked outside curiously.
Ying Liuer was the most vigilant. Upon seeing this, she casually clutched her chest and, seeing that the small bottle was still there, ran towards the door.
"I'll go check on you. Auntie and Tang, you don't need to come out."
Her time living in the Azure Eagle tribe had instilled in her a habit of constant vigilance.
After all, she didn't know that one day, those noisy voices would be there to take her as a sacrifice.
Su Tang, of course, wouldn't let her go out alone, so she followed her.
As soon as the heavy, airtight door was opened, a cold wind carrying fine snowflakes rushed in.
The two shivered simultaneously, then quickly put on their animal skin coats and went out one after the other.
"Let the wandering orcs come out!"
"We demand an explanation today!"
"Where is that wandering orc? Hand him over..."
Outside, there were several burly females, some carrying and others lifting several hairy monkey cubs.
Some of the younger ones hadn't yet taken human form, while the oldest, around ten years old, had already transformed into human form, standing behind the females with bruises and swelling on their faces.
Su Tang was stunned when she saw the wounds on the cub's face.
I wondered who was so cruel, hitting even the cubs so hard.
Ying Liu'er frowned when she saw them calling him a wandering orc. "What do you want with Da Qing?"
When the female monkeys saw people appear, their anger intensified.
“I don’t care about any fancy colors, you’re with the wandering orcs, aren’t you? He injured our cubs today.”
"Look what our cubs have been beaten to!"
