Lan Jiao swam comfortably in the cave. Although it was not as big as the stream, it was deeper than the stream. He could finally let his tail hang free. Moreover, he could see Tu Ling all the time. It was simply perfect.
"Wife, can I live with you from now on?"
Tu Ling nodded: "Of course, but the area here is too small and I don't think you can stay for too long. If you get bored, you can just go out through the underwater portal. If you want to come back, just go through the other portal in the stream."
Lan Jiao exclaimed: "I didn't expect that spatial abilities could be used in this way! It's so clever!"
Tu Ling laughed. If she hadn't suddenly come to this world, she would not have thought that her spatial ability could be used in this way.
Before the arrival of the ice season, Tu Ling's camp was busy. In addition to stuffing sausages non-stop, Tu Ling also pickled some bacon. Shi Yi chopped a lot of dry firewood and piled it on the terrace, enough to survive the ice season.
Before anyone knew it, the first snowflake had fallen in the world of beasts. Then snowflakes continued to fall in the world of beasts, and in just one day, they covered the bare land with a snow-white sweater.
Tu Ling, wrapped in several layers of animal skins, walked out of the cave and stood on the terrace to look at the scenery.
The trees in the animal world are very tall and have many branches. When covered with snow, they look as dreamy as floating white clouds.
Yinhen chased out with the animal skin and draped it over Tuling: "Madam, go in quickly, it's cold outside."
In fact, Tu Ling felt it was okay. After all, the coldest time in winter is when it just snows. It only becomes really cold when the snow starts to melt.
Tu Ling grabbed the animal skin she had just put on, feeling extremely helpless. She really wasn't cold. If a level 10 fire-type mutant was afraid of the cold, she would not be able to survive. But these males insisted on covering her with layer upon layer. There is a kind of coldness called when males think you are cold.
"Yinhen, stop giving me that hide. I've already wrapped it up like a meatball."
Yinhen was amused by Tuling's description: "No, the meatball is not as beautiful as the female master."
"Come in."
After Tu Ling went in, Yin Hen rebuilt the wooden boards at the entrance of the cave. This was something Tu Ling asked a few people to buy before the snow came. In fact, it was just sawing a few pieces of wood to block the entrance of the cave. In this way, there would be less cold wind entering the cave.
After the wooden planks were covered again, only the orange-red firelight remained in the cave. Beside the firelight stood a circle of orcs, all wrapped in animal skins, their hands busy with their own things. The firelight made their profiles look more three-dimensional.
In the puddle next to the fire, both portals were closed. Lan Jiao leaned against the water with his arms resting on the shore, a happy smile on his face, just like taking a bath.
Yinji came running over wearing a new animal skin and turned in front of Tu Ling. "Mother! Look at my new animal skin. It was made for me by my father Bai Qi."
Tu Ling squatted down and manually turned Yin Ji around in a circle, admiring the new clothes Bai Qi made for him.
The new clothes are a pullover. They are also made by cutting out the shape of a top from animal skins and then sewing them together. Although it is a bit ugly, it is warm to wear and convenient to move around in. The pants underneath are also made using the same method.
Tu Ling held Yin Ji's face with both hands and rubbed it gently twice, making Yin Ji smile foolishly: "The new animal skin is really beautiful, Yin Ji looks good too."
"I have one too!" Fu Xiang, wrapped in the animal skin, stared at the animal skin that Bai Qi was still sewing, and said anxiously, "Mom, my animal skin will be done soon. I will definitely look good in it."
"Bai Qi, why don't you make your own animal skin first? It's easy to catch a cold if you sit on the ground wrapped in animal skin." Tu Ling saw that Bai Qi was busy with his work. He had just made clothes for Yinji and now for Fuxiang, but he only had one piece of animal skin on him. When he moved his arm, his naked body could be seen inside.
"Oh, I'll do mine after Fuxiang is done. Besides, isn't there the female master's fire in the cave? It's not cold at all."
Tu Ling brought a piece of animal skin and said, "Put this under your butt."
Bai Qi took the animal skin with emotion, put it under his body, and continued to make clothes.
"Madam, do we have it?" Shi Yi looked at Tu Ling expectantly.
"That's a lot, just take one piece to cushion yourself."
During the previous season of violent beasts, Tu Ling killed too many violent beasts, and the camp accumulated a pile of animal skins of various colors, which could not be used up at all. There were five layers of animal skins on the bed alone.
"Hmph, the mistress is really partial." Shi curled his lips.
"Hmph, if you could be as skillful as Bai Qi, I'd be partial to you. Look at the clothes you've made, how ugly they are." Tu Ling had previously taught them how to make winter clothes, but except for Bai Qi, none of them could learn at all. Either they'd sewed the collars off, or the seams on the waists were leaking. "Anyway, you make your own clothes, so if they're ugly, you're the one to blame."
"Ah——" the beasts groaned miserably.
Lan Jiao was secretly delighted: "Fortunately, I don't need to wear clothes." He suddenly took a breath: "Ah, honey, my waist hurts."
His sudden shout attracted everyone's attention.
Bai Qi asked with concern: "Lan Jiao, are you okay?"
Tu Ling immediately stepped forward, dipped her slender fingers into the cold water, and rubbed Lan Jiao's tense back: "It's okay, it's just like this during this period."
Although Lan Jiao had a pain in his waist, he still felt happy: "Yes, it's like this during this period." As he said that, his body floated upwards, revealing his already round belly.
Tu Ling's guess was correct before, he did have a cub. It has always been difficult for the mermaids to have cubs, and he didn't expect Tu Ling to be so powerful and succeed in one go.
Lan Jiao thought of something and said to Tu Ling, "Why don't I make a piece of animal skin for our child." Although mermaids don't need to wear clothes, if other cubs have them, then Lan Jiao's cubs should also have them.
"Sure." Tu Ling picked out a piece of animal skin from the pile. The hair was not too long but very dense. She handed it to Lan Jiao. "Let's do it together."
"Um!"
The wind and snow outside the cave were getting stronger and stronger. Even though there were wooden boards blocking the door, there were still gusts of icy cold wind blowing in.
But the bed was warm. The constant heat was transmitted into the quilt through the stones and animal skins under his body, and Fuxiang snored comfortably.
"Madam, this is a great idea. Dig a hole under the bed and light a fire inside. The whole bed will be warm." Bai Qi propped himself up and looked at the other bed in the hole: "Should we bring Zi Ye and Ye Li over as well?"
Since the ice season came, both snakes have been hibernating.
"No, if we change their body temperature at will, it will harm them."
Lan Jiao in the water was looking forward to it: "Can I sleep in the quilt?"
Tu Ling smiled. It was the first time she heard a fish-like creature trying to sleep in the bed, especially on a heated kang. "If you're not afraid of drying out from the heat, you can come up and try."
