Xiaomei couldn't resist reaching out to touch it, but Masizi slapped her hand away with lightning speed!
"Don't move it, this needle is very fragile. If it breaks, there are no replacements available here!"
That's true. Putting aside the price, in their remote Sunset Tribe, they can't buy such tiny needles.
Ma Xiong ran to the river to wash himself clean, even washing his hair!
Back in the cave, Mu Youran looked at his wet hair, beckoned him to sit down.
She picked up a piece of hemp thread and tied his hair up in a high bun on his head.
He looked him up and down, and finding nothing wrong, he then spoke.
"Alright, we can begin!"
To avoid soiling the snow-white silk, the ground was covered entirely with snow-white animal hides.
Several people slipped their shoes onto the surface, finding it very comfortable and soft.
Mu Youran picked up the white silk next to her and measured it on his body. She needed to fix his shoulders, so she asked Xiaomei and Caixia to help hold them down.
Then the hemp fibers are secured with fine silk thread.
Ma Xiong felt the silky smooth fabric on his body and found it very comfortable.
This was the first time he had ever seen this kind of material; he never imagined that one day he would be wearing it.
He stood with his arms outstretched and his body straight on the white animal skin, motionless, letting them do as they pleased.
It wasn't until dark, with several torches lit inside the cave, that they were able to get a rough outline of it!
Caixia looked at her refreshed partner and smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits.
"How come I'm not realizing for the first time how good-looking Ma Xiong is?"
"It feels like it's almost as good as Huang..."
Realizing she had misspoke, she quickly corrected herself: "She's even prettier than the Eagle Clan Chief!"
You Ran knew what she hadn't finished saying. Since others were being considerate of her feelings, she naturally didn't need to show any displeasure. A faint smile appeared on her lips.
Xiaomei knew what she wanted to say, and seeing that You Ran didn't speak, she immediately started joking around.
"I think you just like Ma Xiong. You only look good in him, and this outfit just makes him look more handsome than usual!"
Mu Youran stretched and said with a smile, "Alright, that's enough for now. We'll continue tomorrow!"
Ma Sizi was very satisfied with today's progress. Not feeling comfortable leaving the dyes here, she moved them all into her cave.
Clothes and silks were kept here.
After all, we have to come back tomorrow, and it's too much trouble to move things around.
After everyone left, Ying Yao and Luo Bai finally started eating leisurely.
Mu Youran washed her hands and walked to Ying Yao's cave next door. The table was full of meat, which made her mouth water.
"Monster meat?"
Luo Bai smiled brightly: "Hmm, why don't you try it?"
Mu Youran took a big bite of meat and immediately felt a warm current enter her body. She was full after eating ten pounds of roasted meat!
"I'm so full!"
Ying Yao noticed that she was eating much less than usual, confirming that what the witch said was true—the baby was lacking energy.
After exchanging a glance with Luo Bai, the two lowered their heads and ate.
In the afternoon, the shrine maiden approached them and told them about Yuran's situation.
The cub needs energy, but the little bit of monster meat alone is not enough. As the cub grows bigger in the womb, the energy it needs increases.
Currently, only kyanite can provide the energy needed by You Ran.
Ying Yao said, "You Ran, why don't we find some work for those new orcs in my tribe?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Youran perked up and immediately agreed!
"Great! I was just worried about not having enough manpower!"
At this point, she gave a mischievous smile: "However, I want half of the money you earn!"
Ying Yao chuckled but didn't answer immediately: "What do you plan to have them do?"
"Soap, of course!"
"Although this product is simple to make, once it is widely adopted, it will become something that almost everyone needs, and the consumer base is huge!"
"Besides, you know what to do, and I'm too lazy to go there."
Upon hearing that it was for making soap, Ying Yao silently calculated the cost in his mind; the most expensive ingredient was probably the oil.
To produce in large quantities, they need a lot of oil, but judging from the amount of oil they discard each day, they can meet their needs for the time being.
Two bars of soap cost the same as one seashell, but a pound of oil can make several bars of soap!
This is an absolute steal!
"Okay, we'll split the profits 50/50!"
Mu Youran had long wanted to outsource the soap-making business, and since Ying Yao wanted it, that was perfect!
After all, the Sunset Tribe had limited manpower, and she was not comfortable keeping everything in one tribe.
Moreover, the cave was filled with a large amount of jadeite, and these tasks all required manpower.
After the three of them finished their meal, You Ran, disgusted by the grease on her hands, picked up her toiletries and went to the river to wash up.
Meanwhile, Luo Bai and Ying Yao, taking advantage of You Ran's absence, discussed the large number of magical beasts that had suddenly appeared in the vicinity.
Both of them tacitly agreed not to let You Ran know, so as not to worry her.
Mu Youran walked to the riverbank. By this time, many of the orcs in the tribe had already tidied up and gone to sleep, and the riverbank was very quiet.
I took the soap, lathered it on my hands, and washed away the oil stains before washing my face.
A splash of water hit my face, and suddenly I heard footsteps behind me.
She thought it was Luo Bai coming to wash the dishes, but it turned out to be Long Yin.
He stood in the moonlight, looking at You Ran with a somewhat awkward expression.
"You Ran, why don't you sleep in my cave tonight?"
He waited for a whole day and night, but You Ran didn't come to find him. He had clearly said he agreed.
Since she wasn't coming, I'll come myself. Perhaps You Ran was too busy to remember. I heard that the orcs from the Ma Yi tribe were blocking her cave entrance early this morning, asking her to do some work.
Upon hearing these boundless words, Mu Youran immediately felt disgusted.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Seeing her like this, Long Yin became a little anxious and quickly said, "Didn't you confess to me? I like you too, and I accepted you. Do you want to go back on your word?"
These words left Mu Youran feeling somewhat confused. When had she ever confessed her feelings to this person?
When did I confess my feelings to you?
"It was the meat you grilled for me the day before yesterday!"
Mu Youran: ...
She only knew that when a male gives meat to a female, it's a sign of affection and courtship, but she didn't realize that when a female gives meat to a male, it also means the same thing.
He sighed and said, "It's a misunderstanding. You asked about the taste of the roast meat, so I gave you two to try. I didn't mean anything by it!"
Upon hearing this, Long Ying's face turned bright red. But having said all that, being rejected by a female would make him lose face.
He stepped forward somewhat anxiously and stood in front of her.
"I'm rich, powerful, good-looking, young, have a noble beast form, and am incredibly strong. Why don't you want to be with me?"
