I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 357 Meeting the Parents

You should know that when orcs go on a journey, the shortest trip is eight or ten years, and the longest can even be several decades.

Seeing Yue's puzzled expression, Bai Ling explained, "Yue, your father and father will come back because of me."

After Bai Ling and Yue confirmed their relationship, they put the matter of getting married on the agenda. To get married to Yue, they first had to get the consent of Yue's father and father. However, Yue's father and father went on a trip and Bai Ling could not see them at all. How could he get their consent?

As for waiting for them to return, Bai Ling couldn't afford to wait that long. If they traveled abroad for more than ten years and didn't come back, was he supposed to wait for more than ten years?

Bai Ling could only try to get them to come back quickly, and the only way to find their trail was through the caravans of the central tribe.

The Central Tribe caravans traveled all over the orc continent. In addition to exchanging goods, they also served as "messengers," delivering messages to the orcs on the continent. Yue once received a gift from his father while he was with a caravan.

So Bai Ling asked the Grand Elder to request the caravans of the Central Tribe to search for the whereabouts of Yue's father and father, and to explain the situation to them and ask them to return.

Bai Ling knew that doing this was a bit abrupt, but he simply couldn't wait any longer. His soulmate was right in front of him, yet he still had to wait for more than ten or even several decades before they could get married. What man could wait and endure that?

Bai Ling told Yue the whole story. After listening, Yue didn't blame Bai Ling, but just said, "You should have told me sooner."

Bai Ling blinked and looked at Yue: "Yue, I'm just glad you don't blame me for taking matters into my own hands."

Yue shook her head: "How could I blame you? Actually, I also..." Yue didn't say the rest, but the meaning couldn't be clearer.

He liked Ling and decided that Ling would be his partner. Of course, he also wanted to marry Ling as soon as possible. He had been worried about how to contact his father and father, but he didn't expect that Ling had already solved the problem.

The two looked at each other in silence. Xiao broke the silence: "Alright, stop staring and get ready. We'll head back as soon as we're done."

This was Bai Ling's first time meeting Yue's father, so of course she couldn't go back looking disheveled; she had to tidy herself up before returning.

Bai Ling had already boiled the water. After Yue quickly washed up, Xiao pulled her to sit down: "Yue, I brought your best clothes and accessories. Dress up nicely and let your father and father see you. Oh, by the way, Chen also found the best clothes and accessories for Ling and brought them over."

"When you appear before your father and father dressed in silk clothes and adorned with gold ornaments, they will surely be pleased with Ling."

Sitting on the rock, Yue asked, "Little one, how do you know my father will be very satisfied with Ling?"

Xiao helped Yue tie her hair up and said, "Is there any need to think about it? When your father sees this, he'll say, 'Wow! My son is wearing such beautiful clothes, such pretty jewelry, living in such a beautiful house, and eating so much delicious food. How could any adult not be satisfied!'"

Bai Ling and Yue both wore silk clothes. Yue wore the gold ornaments that Bai Ling had given him, and Bai Ling also wore his best ornaments. Xiao looked them up and down, then nodded and said, "Hmm, not bad."

After saying that, he took Yue's hand and said, "Yue, let's go."

Bai Ling first went to tell the elders in the tribe that he had to leave and would return in a couple of days.

When the tribal elders learned that Bai Ling was leaving, they quickly called over a few tribesmen, brought out two baskets of dried meat and a basket of wild fruit to give to Bai Ling, and personally escorted Bai Ling to the square.

Bai Ling, Yue, and Xiao sat on the back of the Sky Beastman. Bai Ling and Yue sat together, holding hands. Because they were too nervous, Bai Ling sat on the Sky Beastman's back without saying a word for a long time.

As they were almost at the first tribe, Bai Ling took a deep breath and asked softly, "Yue, will your father like me?"

Yue said with great certainty, "Of course I will. I like you, and my father likes you too."

There are no arranged marriages in the orc world; orcs fall in love freely, and as long as the child is happy, the parents generally won't object.

Despite saying that, Bai Ling was still very nervous. He was afraid that he would not perform well and leave a bad impression on Yue's father and father, and he was also afraid that he was not strong enough and that Yue's father and father would not like him.

Yue noticed Bai Ling's nervousness, and tightened his grip on Bai Ling's hand slightly: "Ling, believe me, my father will like you."

"If I ask them to let us get married, will they agree?" Bai Ling asked.

Yue: "...You've just met, so let's not talk about this for now."

Bai Ling: "Alright, I'll bring up this topic with your father and father after we've spent some time together."

Yue's father was named Qian. He was a tall orc who looked to be in his thirties. He had a serious and dignified face and, like Yue, long silver-white hair. When he saw Bai Ling, he stared at Bai Ling with a scrutinizing gaze for a couple of seconds before looking away.

When his gaze fell on Yue, Qian's serious expression immediately disappeared, replaced by affection: "Yue."

Yue's father was named Ying. He was thinner than Qian. His hair was black, and his eyes were ice blue, just like Yue's. However, unlike Yue's always cold and indifferent gaze, his eyes were very gentle. He also glanced at Bai Ling twice, but there was no scrutiny in his eyes, only a faint smile.

Yue's eyes were slightly red, especially after his father called his name. He quickly walked towards his father and called out, "Father, Father."

Yue's father, Ying, laughed and said, "Yes, it's been years since I last saw you. My Yue looks even more beautiful now." He glanced at Bai Ling and said, "Yue, I heard from a novel that you've found your life partner. It must be him."

Ying pointed at Bai Ling and said, "Hmm, he's a very good male."

At this moment, Bai Ling quickly stepped forward and obediently called out, "Uncle, Uncle."

Qian looked at Bai Ling and said, "Along the way, everyone we know in the sky has said countless good things about us, saying you are very capable, that you and Yue have a good relationship, and that you are a perfect match. Yue, is that true?"

Qian's expression wasn't serious, just a little solemn. He looked at Yue and asked, "Yue, tell your father the truth, what is your relationship with him?"

Yue pulled Bai Ling's hand, and the two intertwined their fingers: "Father, Father, Ling is the beastman I want to spend my life with."
