I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 173 Going back

Bai Ling's eyes are black, a pure obsidian black. Yue has always liked Bai Ling's eyes; he thinks they are the most beautiful and gentle eyes in the world.

But now, Yue noticed that Ling's eyes had changed.

Ling's eyes held no tenderness or smile, but instead a darkness that could devour everything. Just one glance from him was enough to make him feel as if his very soul had been sucked in.

Bai Ling took the initiative, grabbing both of Yue's hands and pulling her into his arms. Yue didn't struggle or back away, but instead followed Bai Ling's force and bumped into his embrace.

The two locked eyes, and Bai Ling said nothing, but instead kissed Yue's lips directly.

The moment their lips touched, Yue's stiff body softened, and he gently closed his eyes, wrapping his arms around Bai Ling's waist.

The moment Yue closed her eyes, a thought suddenly popped into her mind: Ling's lips tasted just like sweet grass.

*

When the two parted, Yue's lips turned rosy red, and her eyes were glistening with tears.

Bai Ling's eyes also held a hint of red, a flame capable of burning everything, clamoring to ignite a raging inferno and reduce her lover before her to ashes.

Bai Ling took a deep breath and suppressed the red mark.

He cannot hurt the moon; he should be content if he can kiss it.

But how could that be enough? How could it possibly be enough?

Bai Ling used all his strength to reseal the desires in his heart and body. He then placed a kiss on Yue's forehead: "Alright, the meat is almost cooked. We'll eat in a bit."

Yue nodded, released his hand from Bai Ling's waist, and pulled Bai Ling to sit down on the rock. Neither of them spoke; they just sat there.

The sun had set, and the sky was ablaze with golden sunset colors. Because of the recent rain, the croaking of frogs filled the air. Bai Ling clasped her left and right hands together, looking towards the western sky.

Before it got dark, the two of them went to cut some grass for the Kengchi beasts. Perhaps it was because the weather had cleared up, or perhaps the Kengchi beasts had gotten used to being fed by the beastmen, but their spirits had improved a lot, and they were no longer afraid when they saw Bai Ling and Yue.

Even when Bai Ling took a handful of grass to feed them, one of the beasts actually slowly walked over, stretched its neck, and ate the grass in Bai Ling's hand.

This puzzled Yue.

It could be said that the orcs were the domain of the wild beasts in this area. The Hungchi beasts were quite bold, and they would flee for their lives at the first sight of the orcs. It was something Yue hadn't expected that they would take the initiative to eat the grass fed to them by the orcs like this.

Yue looked at Ling, whose features were gentle. Perhaps not all beastmen could do this; for now, only Ling could do it.

*

The cave entrance was mostly blocked, making it safer to sleep at night.

Bai Ling and Yue lay on the animal skin, both wearing clothes. The weather was not as cool as last night, so they did not cover themselves with the animal skin.

Both of them fell asleep in the early hours of the morning last night, and they haven't rested all day today, but neither Bai Ling nor Yue felt sleepy.

The two of them stood in the darkness, their eyes wide open, silently gazing at each other. Although they could only make out a vague outline of each other, they couldn't see each other's eyes at all.

The two of them stared at each other silently, without moving or making a sound, like meditating monks, determined to see who could hold out the longest.

It's strange, really. Last night, the two of them had so much to talk about, and they were feeling nervous, shy, and sweet. But tonight, they're both so quiet. There's no nervousness or shyness anymore, just sweetness.

I don't know how much time passed, but it must have been quite a while, when Yue suddenly spoke up. He whispered, "Ling, your lips are sweet."

That statement almost entirely carries a seductive undertone.

In the dark of night, alone in a room with his beloved, Bai Ling's unspoken thoughts were already swelling. When Yue uttered those words, Bai Ling could no longer hold back, and his body immediately changed.

A pair of fluffy lion ears silently appeared on his head.

Yue's eyes lit up, and her fingers began to twitch again.

However, Yue remembered what happened after he touched Ling's ear last night. If he touched Ling's ear again today, his own ear would probably suffer too.

Before giving Bai Ling any time to do anything, Yue said, "Ling, I'm sleepy, I need to rest."

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes.

Bai Ling's body was burning hot, and a certain desire was clamoring within his body and soul, but he did nothing, only softly humming, "Yue, you go to sleep, I need to rest too."

Goodnight, moon.

Yue didn't know what "goodnight" meant, but he imitated Bai Ling and said, "Goodnight, Ling."

*

Even after a heavy rain, the temperature remained high, and because of the increased moisture in the air, it was even more muggy than the days before it rained.

Bai Ling and Yue tidied up the things. They wrapped the salt and seasonings in clean leaves, put them in the earthenware pot, covered it with an earthenware basin, and finally covered the earthenware pot with a large basket, and placed a stone on the basket to weigh it down.

When the tribespeople come here to hunt again, they can continue to use these things.

Everything to be taken was packed into the basket, several bamboo tubes were filled with water, the animal hides used as bedding were tied up, and the fruit picked in the morning was washed and placed in a separate basket.

These are all relatively easy to carry, but the three chubby beasts are the most difficult to take with you.

After discussing it, the two decided that Bai Ling would transform into his beast form, and Yue would sit on Bai Ling's back, leading the three huffing beasts on their journey.

No problem, they have plenty of time and can travel at their own pace.

Once the sun wasn't so strong, Bai Ling and Yue started their journey home.

At first, the three beasts weren't very cooperative. They would either run around aimlessly, nibble on the grass, or just stand still. Yue had to pull them along to get them to take a step or two forward.

Yue was getting anxious. Holding three ropes, he stood up on Bai Ling's back and instantly switched into hunting mode. His eyes were cold and ruthless as he stared at the three gnawed beasts, making strange noises.

The three burly beasts were bullies who preyed on the weak. They wouldn't leave when Yue tried to pull them away, but now that Yue had scared them like this, they behaved themselves.

"Ling, let's go, but don't walk so fast, take it slow first," Yue said to Bai Ling.

Bai Ling walked slowly forward at a leisurely pace, while Yue remained standing without sitting down. His eyes were fixed on the three croaking beasts. Although the beasts were still not very well-behaved, they were able to follow the rope and move forward.
