"Okay." Chi Yuyang nodded.
She already did what she could do, and the cub is looked after by the Shaman and its mother. So now her concern is more focused on what Hu Jin was about to say.
After walking into the cave with the patriarch, Hu Jin slowly spoke.
"I want to go to the Ape Tribe. During the time I am away, can the patriarch take care of my wife..."
Chi Yuyang suddenly raised her head.
She didn't expect that Hu Jin would want to go to the Ape Tribe alone.
"I don't agree."
"No."
Both Chi Yuyang and Hu Zuo rejected Hu Jin's proposal.
"It's too dangerous for you to go to the Ape Tribe alone!" The patriarch shook his head, "We will discuss this matter again."
At this time, roars of tigers rang out one after another outside the cave.
"Patriarch, don't mention about the poisoning for now." Hu Jin had to mention the main points first.
"I guess it's the Ape Tribe who is making trouble." Chi Yuyang also added.
After she spoke, she lightly glanced at Hu Jin.
Although she doesn't know what Hu Jin's plan is, she does need to have a good talk with him.
"Hum! This old man is also a bit puzzled about this matter, and I want to know how the ape tribe orcs entered our tiger tribe's territory." Hu Zuo stood up with his hand with a heavy expression on his face.
Moreover, the place where the incident occurred was in the most central area of the tribe.
"Let's go out and have a look first." Hu Zuo said.
Counting the time, almost all the Tiger Orcs should have arrived.
"Then can I stay here first?" Chi Yuyang thought for a moment, and decided not to participate in the Tiger Tribe's meeting.
Mainly because the tigers outside sounded like beasts. She's afraid that when she went out, she would see a lot of tigers transforming into their human forms.
Not every tiger has the habit of transforming into a human form and putting on animal skins to cover themselves.
The cubs in the cave also followed Hu Zuo out.
After a while, only Chi Yuyang and a lit fire remained in the cave.
The cave is very deep, so Chi Yuyang couldn't hear the noise from, there was only silence.
Just when Chi Yuyang was bored and began to count how many fruits there were in the cave, the female tiger from before walked in with her cub.
"Thank you." She thanked Chi Yuyang first with a grateful smile, "My name is Hu Shu, thank you for saving my daughter Hu Ya."
Through the lit fire, Chi Yuyang saw the appearance of this orc.
Hu Shu had a melon seed face* with fair skin, well-defined features, and a pair of clear amber eyes. She looked like in her early twenties.
"My name is Chi Yuyang, and I am Hu Jin's..."
Hu Shu nodded as if she understood something even before the word " friend " was spoken.
"You are Hu Jin's partner, I heard from him. He was afraid that you would have nothing to do in the cave, and Hu Ya also needs a rest, so I will accompany you."
The tiger cub in her arms looked at Chi Yuyang obediently.
"Hu Ya, say thank you sister." Hu Shu touched the cub's head.
"Ao Ao Ao!" The little tiger named Hu Ya shook her head and walked slowly towards Chi Yuyang.
Chi Yuyang hold it with both hands.
The weight of this cub was much lighter than the one she had previously held.
Its hair is much softer in comparison.
However, it still can't compare with the unique touch of a certain white tiger.
Thinking of Hu Jin, Chi Yuyang secretly sighed.
She always felt that something went back in place.
"Actually..." Hu Shu hesitated for a while before speaking slowly, "Hu Jin is very suitable as a partner."
Seeing Chi Yuyang's face with suspicion, Hu Shu quickly added: "There are quite a few females in the Tiger Tribe who admires Hu Jin. After all, he is the strongest orc of the Tiger Tribe..."
After that, Hu Shu showed a shy expression.
Chi Yuyang did not expect the conversation to develop as such.
Judging from Hu Shu's tone, towards Hu Jin, she is also...
No, it should be 'have been*'.
Her hand stroking the cub did not stop.
The existence of this cub made Chi Yuyang guess that what Hu Shu wanted to express wasn't that.
Hu Shu continued to say: "Although the males in the tribe have prejudice against Hu Jin, I think they are only jealous of Hu Jin."
"I thought Hu Jin would never find a partner in his life, but I didn't expect... "She glanced at Chi Yuyang, and said solemnly, "You saved my child so I won't have any covetous thought for Hu Jin anymore."
Her expression was telling Chi Yuyang that she had just made a very scared and difficult decision.
"But you have to be careful with other females in the Tiger Tribe. If they knew that Hu Jin has found a mate, they will definitely make things difficult for you, and then want to replace you."
"For example...if you failed to give him a cub. Or if you are not a tiger orc..."
After hearing these words, Chi Yuyang's mouth couldn't close for a long time.
This amount of information is too large.
Especially when Hu Shu said that she gave up coveting Hu Jin because Chi Yuyang saved her child.
"Do you have a partner now?" Chi Yuyang silently sent the tiger cub back into Hu Shu's arms.
"Yes, but he can't compare to Hu Jin." Hu Shu commented indifferently.
"..." Chi Yuyang felt distressed for Hu Shu's partner.
"The partnership between tigers in our tribe is not strong. As long as one party wants to dissolve the partnership, it can be dismissed at any time."
Hu Shu is obviously a chatty person, and she even began to instill in Chi Yuyang her criteria for selecting mate.
"However, if your first partner is Hu Jin, and you want to find an orc better than him, you have to go to another tribe."
Chi Yuyang's mouth opened and closed, but she didn't say a word.
Throughout the conversation, she didn't show any thoughts of wanting to change her partner, but this tiger's horrible thoughts goes by leaps and bounds.
"I think Hu Jin is very good." To prevent Hu Shu from making even more explosive remarks, Chi Yuyang hurriedly expressed.
"Usually, it's one thing if he's nice to you, but the most important thing is for you to live well." Hu Shu, as a tiger, said again.
Live... well...?
Chi Yuyang swallowed.
She thought about the part she accidentally saw the first time she Hu Jin's transformed into a human.
Logically speaking, with Hu Jin's it can't be impossible, right?
"Wife..." The gradual sound of footsteps accompanied by the familiar call, pulled Chi Yuyang's thoughts back.
Chi Yuyang shook her head to get out of her imagination.
She was really crooked by Hu Shu.
However, when Hu Jin came, she couldn't help but glance at his lower body.
"Hu Jin." Chi Yuyang rubbed her eyes and tried to divert her gaze. "How is it?"
Hu Jin leaned over and hugged Chi Yuyang in his arms.
"Let's go back first."
"Goodbye!" Hu Shu expressed as she picked up the cub.
When she passed by Chi Yuyang, she blinked and winked at her.
Chi Yuyang, who caught this detail, was stunned.
"Goo...goodbye."
"Wife?" Hu Jin was about to transform when he saw Chi Yuyang staring in the direction where Hu Shu's went, "Hu Shu and her partner's cave is very close to ours. If you want, you can talk to her again next time."
"Ah..." Chi Yuyang recovered.
She was just shocked by how the female tigers' character was bold.
Speaking of, Hu Jin is extremely popular among female tigers but why hasn't she heard him say anything about it?
... After returning to Hu Jin's cave, Chi Yuyang ate a few fruits to satisfy her hunger.
From the patriarch, she learned that there are seven kinds of edible fruits in this forest, exactly corresponding to the seven colors of the rainbow.
"Wife..." Hu Jin habitually moved her head over.
Chi Yuyang wanted to take advantage of the situation and hid backwards.
Just now in front of another tiger, she couldn't have a fit. Now that they are back home, she has to make a clear statement with Hu Jin.
However, Hu Jin gently pulled Chi Yuyang, returning to his arms.
"..." Chi Yuyang raised her eyes slamming into his pure eyes when she looked at him.
Suddenly she couldn't say anything ruthless.
"Wife, the patriarch said that the Ape Tribe had a plan to unify the Orc Continent hundreds of years ago."
Perceiving that Hu Jin began to repeat the information he heard from the patriarch sentence by sentence, Chi Yuyang thought to herself: Let's not to care about him for the time being. Wait until the Ape Tribe's matter is resolved.
"The orcs first awakened their wisdom, and then later they possessed an additional power. But the Ape Tribe is the only Tribe that advocates wisdom over power from the very beginning."
"They want to prove it by unifying the continent?" Chi Yuyang asked.
"It should be like this." Hu Jin looked at the orange fruit in Chi Yuyang's hand, then found where Chi Yuyang was eating, and took a bite in that location.
"Hu Jin!" Chi Yuyang's hand that was holding the fruit shook while her ears quietly turned red.
"There's no taste." Hu Jin didn't understand why his wife likes to eat these fruits.
Chi Yuyang let out a sigh of relief.
This fruit is sweet, of course Hu Jin can't taste anything.
"Go on." She pushed Hu Jin's arm around her waist.
"So the patriarch decided to send some tigers to the Ape Tribe to probe." Hu Jin looked down, hiding the emotion in his eyes.
He originally planned to go to the Ape Tribe alone, because their main target is him.
But now it seems that the Ape Tribe intends to target the entire Tiger Tribe.
"If you want to go." Chi Yuyang said in a positive tone, "Then I will go with you."
Since Hu Zuo has said that the apes are good at using wisdom, then she also wants to know how far their knowledge has developed.
She wanted to know where the boundary between the ape tribe orcs and humans was, or perhaps the ape tribe orcs were the humans on this continent.
"By the way, were all the tiger orcs present at that time?" Chi Yuyang once told Hu Jin to observe the orcs who were not present.
The tiger orc who was the culprit may not dare to come because of a guilty conscience.
"Only my three brothers are missing." Hu Jin looked sad.
He was more certain than Chi Yuyang that his brothers were the culprits.
It turns out that they really hate him to their bones.
But why do they want to help the ape tribe against other tigers?
"We shouldn't make any conclusions until we find them." Chi Yuyang subconsciously wanted to touch Hu Jin's ears, but when her hand reached halfway, she put it down in a weird manner.
Despite this, her actions did not escape Hu Jin's eyes.
He had long discovered that Chi Yuyang particularly liked his ears.
So he got closer to Chi Yuyang's face, rubbed his ears, and then while Chi Yuyang's was still immersed in the soft touch, he unexpectedly kissed her mouth with his lips.
This is what the patriarch taught him.
If the estrus period of the female and male tiger orcs is not synchronized, the males always have to accommodate the females.
However, Hu Jin is in rut for the first time as an adult, and it is inevitable that he can't restrain his desire.
So he asked the patriarch what to do.
The patriarch said: "Think about the happiest things when you are with your partner."
Pondering about it, Hu Jin felt that he was happiest when his wife kissed him for the first time.
So he did.
The moment their lips touched, Chi Yuyang's mind went blank.
Due to the temperature, she just ate a few more slightly cold fruits, so her lips were cold at this time.
But Hu Jin's body temperature has always been high, so naturally the temperature on his face will not be low either.
Coincidentally, a cold wind blew in from outside the cave making Chi Yuyang habitually approach the heat source, so much that she did not break the kiss.
Hu Jin's arms slowly tightened. Obviously, his kissing skills were much better than last time, but the confusion and desire in his kiss made Chi Yuyang unable to adapt.
Moreover, their posture became more and more ambiguous.
She hurriedly pinched his waist before Hu Jin could push her to the ground.
In this gap, Chi Yuyang shouted: "Hu Jin, who taught you to do this?"
He actually kissed her again!
"Taught by the patriarch." Hu Jin stroked her lips with his hand.
Felines are born with no idea what sweetness is.
So he didn't know how to describe this kiss.
Moreover, how does he feel that his desire is getting stronger and stronger.
Patriarch: This is not what I thought!
