A red moon hung in the sky.
Green, red, and yellow fruits were scattered all over the ground. Only a tall man wearing an apron made from a beast tail was lying on the ground.
Sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves and fell on his strong back. Although his skin was fair, his tight muscles made it impossible for people to ignore the explosive power hidden in his body. The subtle sucking sounds were weak in the forest where insects and birds were chirping non-stop. If one did not look carefully, they would not be able to see the female under the man.
The animal skin that had been taken away was under Gou Liang's body. Meng Hao's wide palm held Gou Liang's head and easily grasped the rhythm of the kiss. He forcefully pulled Gou Liang closer to himself. His tongue barged into Gou Liang's territory. His actions were so passionate that they were almost rough, filled with a domineering desire to conquer. When Gou Liang let out an unbearable moan, he excitedly pressed himself closer to Gou Liang.
The satisfaction in his heart was even greater than when he, as a white beastman, killed an exotic beast for the first time with his own hands.
At the same time, his other hand was gently stroking Gou Liang's neck and shoulders, revealing his wholehearted care.
[Ding! Mission progress bar advanced. Current mission progress: 10%!]
The sweet pineapple fragrance permeated every breath he took. The sweet and sour Soul Power was greedily tasted and swallowed by Gou Liang through the collision and entanglement of their tongues.
He closed his eyes comfortably and wholeheartedly fought with Gou Liang for the sweet taste.
Until he couldn't breathe.
He was released, but the wet and warm tongue was still lingering at the corner of his mouth. It was only waiting for Gou Liang to replenish the air in his chest before launching another attack.
Gou Liang tilted his head and kissed him. He asked with a smile while panting, "I was right, wasn't it very sweet?"
Meng Hao had long forgotten the original intention of kissing. At that time, Gou Liang's favorite Black Silk Fruit was despised by the male beastman and insisted that he try it. In the end, he tasted it with his mouth and exchanged delicacies with him.
In fact, Meng Hao did not notice the taste of the Black Silk Fruit at all.
Seeing him smiling, Meng Hao was about to nod and say yes, but he suddenly thought that if he gave a positive answer, Gou Liang would not "ask" him the same question again …
With a flash of light in his eyes, Meng Hao cleverly avoided the answer. He kissed Gou Liang's lips and said in a hoarse voice, "Let me try again."
Gou Liang, who had seen through his little scheme, laughed so hard that he was trembling. In the end, he was so engrossed in his kiss that his mind could not contain anything other than him.
As for the Azure Silk Fruit? Who cares?
The two of them kissed inextricably. Meng Hao's movements gradually became impatient. Her palms kept sliding down and stopped at Gou Liang's waist. She rubbed back and forth through his clothes, eager to remove this layer of barrier.
However, just as Gou Liang was looking forward to Meng Hao's breakthrough, a big white wolf appeared again and leaned on Gou Liang's body.
That's right, it was again.
The big white wolf, who retracted its hind legs to hide some kind of reaction, squatted on the ground and swept Gou Liang's forehead with its tail. Gou Liang, who closed his eyes tightly to calm the heat that surged in his body, opened his eyes and glared at him fiercely. The big white wolf howled in a low voice. Its icy blue eyes were full of unwillingness, but it still did not take any further action. Instead, it lay down and licked the sweat on Gou Liang's neck to comfort him.
Gou Liang bit its tail. "Awoo, awoo!"
Although he didn't activate his beast language communication skill, his blushing cheeks and shy but straightforward eyes conveyed his feelings completely to Meng Hao's eyes.
He said softly, "Xi, don't worry. The Red Moon Festival will be here soon."
Gou Liang said, "… There are still more than a hundred days. How is it soon?"
He hugged his tail unhappily and rolled on the ground. Meng Hao looked at him attentively. Broken light scattered through the gaps in the leaves and shone in his icy blue eyes. It was fine and dense, and it was full of bone-melting gentleness.
However, there was no time in the mountains. In the busy gathering and hunting, time passed very quickly.
The Red Moon season slowly came to an end. Before the Red Moon Festival, which was held when the red and white moons alternated, the Red Moon Festival of the various tribes arrived first.
*
They passed through the grasslands, flew over the forest, and crossed the river.
After flying for two days, the fixed meeting place of the Great Wob Plains finally appeared in front of them.
This was the delta at the end of the Barr River. The orcs living on the Great Wob Plains had made a contract since their ancestors. They would never snatch food or females here. Orcs who broke the promise would be cruelly punished by the Lord Beast God. The orcs had always abided by this unwritten rule. Even the Wall tribe and the Bray tribe, who had the deepest grudges, had to shake hands and make peace here.
After a night's rest, the orcs of the Wall tribe were full of energy.
The Red Moon Festival was a good place where information was highly circulated. Many tribes had not heard of the Wall tribe's great luck because they were too far away. When they came here, they knew what they should know.
Therefore, there were orcs who had come on behalf of their tribes to exchange supplies or seek help waiting outside the door. As soon as the Wall tribe opened the door, many people rushed in.
Gou Liang looked at the bustling scene outside eagerly, but he was restrained in the room by the old priest and Meng Hao. They had more important things to settle today.
Soon, Meng Hui and Lang Fei came back with three strangers.
One of them was an old female who had entered the age of senility, and the other two young orcs were obviously here to protect him. When she saw the old priest, she smiled. The old female said heartily, "Priest Wo Qing, we haven't seen each other for more than a hundred years. Why did you ask these children to invite me here?"
The old priest performed the etiquette of a junior in the tribe and said, "Priest Hongye, there is indeed something I need to trouble you with."
He explained Gou Liang's situation in detail and then said, "I still remember Master saying that the Red Rock tribe once had a male orc with the same condition. I wonder if he's still alive? Has he recovered? "
Meng Hao tensed up and pulled Gou Liang into his arms. He lowered his head and pressed the side of his face against Gou Liang's forehead, silently comforting him not to be nervous.
Gou Liang smiled. I'm afraid the one who needs to be comforted is not me, my dear Little Pineapple.
Priest Hongye was already too old. He tried his best to recall for a long time before he sighed and said, "If you are referring to Da Chang, then it's really unfortunate. That child was injured in a battle with a strange beast. After that, he could not remember his parents, wife, and son. Until he died, he did not remember the past. "
"He's dead?"
"Yes, he died many years ago. After losing his most precious memories, he withered like a tree without roots. Even though we advised him, he was still unwilling to live with his family. He muddleheaded for more than ten years, and in the year of the white rose … he did not ask for help from anyone, and just like that, he returned to the embrace of the Beast Deity. "
With that said, Priest Hongye looked at Gou Liang and Meng Hao who were hugging each other and said with a smile, "Compared to that child, this child is much luckier."
He waved his hand at Gou Liang and took out a round red rock from his bosom, placing it in his hand. His withered hand kindly patted Gou Liang's hand and said, "Good child, this is the Stone of Fortune. It is the blessing that Lord Beast God has given to our Red Rock Tribe, allowing us to feel warmth even in the White Rose Season. Actually, it's fine if you don't have any memories. You still have a few hundred years to create memories with the person you like. I hope you can live a long and healthy life with your partner. "
"Thank you."
"Thank you."
Meng Hao and Gou Liang thanked him from the bottom of their hearts.
Priest Hongye waved his hand lovingly and then looked at the old priest with a smile, "Priest Wo Qing, I heard that the mysterious Treant Tribe has once again given the Winged Wolf tribe a rich gift …"
Looking at his cunning smile, Gou Liang's previous feelings of being touched instantly shattered.
"So you're here to take advantage of us. Is this stone really that magical?"
Gou Liang tossed the red rock and asked curiously.
Meng Hao nodded, "This is the Red Rock tribe's sacred stone. It will automatically heat up in the white roses, so the Red Rock tribe is not afraid of the cold. This piece is too small and can only provide warmth for a three to five year old child. "
He was quite dissatisfied with the stinginess of the Red Leaf Priest, who came to climb up the friendship.
Gou Liang smiled indifferently, "That's good. I'll give it to Sang Mi later."
Meng Hao opened his mouth and wanted to say that it was better than nothing. Gou Liang hugged his arm and said, "With you here, what do I need it for?"
The corners of Meng Hao's mouth curled up as he nodded in agreement.
The Red Moon Market was very lively, but most of the people who wandered between the various tribes' stalls were young beastmen. The real big deals would only be discussed between the priests or the tribe leaders. This time, in order to inquire about Gou Liang's sick friend, the old priest came personally. The tribe leader Lang Xiong stayed in the tribe, so Priest Hongye was the first to talk about the exchange of goods with the old priest.
There were all kinds of strange things on the stalls, but the most popular were the various shells and crystals of the deep sea tribe, the mermaid tribe.
All the unmarried male beastmen would use dried meat to exchange for a few necklaces to please the females they liked. The original owner often received them. At this time, seeing that Meng Hao also wanted to join in the fun, Gou Liang hurriedly stopped him. He really couldn't appreciate this aesthetic!
Meng Hao argued.
He told Gou Liang with the reliable attitude of a mature beastman that he couldn't lack the things that other females should have in their coming of age ceremony. Even if he didn't like it, it would be fine as a decoration. He also said that marrying him, a white beastman, had already made Gou Liang suffer a great grievance. If he still couldn't give him the greatest attention and make up for these details, then he was a failure as a male beastman.
When he spoke, his ice blue eyes were dyed with a trace of melancholy.
Knowing that he was pretending, Gou Liang was still defeated. Well, as long as you're happy.
Meng Hao obviously had a detailed plan. He bought a bunch of luxury goods for the females in this world, health products, various kinds of animal skins with bright colors and strange patterns, and so on.
If he didn't bring enough dried meat, it wouldn't be enough for him to squander.
Gou Liang was held by him. Looking at his fanatical enthusiasm for buying and buying, he felt funny and touched.
It was probably because his stupidity and wealth were exposed. Even if he had a head of white hair, which was a taboo, no one rejected the dried meat that was delivered to their doorstep.
"Brave warrior, look at this piece of animal skin of mine. It's completely taken from the red fox beast. Not only is its fur soft and warm, it's also the brightest color. When the little female lies on it, that white … Hehehe, it's only ten pounds of dried meat. It's definitely a bargain. If you miss it, you won't get it again. "
"Brave warrior, look at this strange stone of mine. It glows at night. Females like it the most. These hundred pieces only cost one pound of dried meat …"
"Brave warrior …"
Surrounded by these greedy beastmen, Gou Liang watched Meng Hao squander money like it was nothing. He didn't know what to say.
After finally leaving the encirclement and accompanying Meng Hao to send the "spoils of war" back to his residence, Gou Liang finally couldn't help but mutter to him, "They're obviously trying to rip you off. Why didn't you bargain a little?"
Meng Hao said seriously, "Lord High Priest said that a male who bargains in front of a female before forming a contract is a reserved beastman. It's not worth entrusting your life to him. Xi, I'll do my best to give you the best … No matter if it's these external objects or myself. "
Gou Liang, "… Lord High Priest is really wise."
— — He's so picky. No wonder he's alone until now.
Meng Hao didn't hear Gou Liang's inner ridicule. He held Gou Liang's hand and walked back to his residence with his head held high. The smile on his face didn't fade at all.
Gou Liang thought that if it wasn't for the fact that he didn't have many friends as a white beastman, he would have wanted to show off to the whole world.
However, although they didn't have any friends, Meng Hui and Lang Fei couldn't escape the disaster. That afternoon, Meng Hao invited the whole family to eat at the most famous restaurant in Red Moon Market.
It was a restaurant opened by the monkey beastmen of the Green Forest Tribe. Any fruit they took out could be sold at a sky-high price.
Although many beastmen knew that these fruits could be seen everywhere in the Green Forest Tribe, they were indeed precious fruits that were very beneficial to females. They were willing to offer a pile of jerky to their females or the person they liked.
Naturally, the Green Forest Restaurant didn't only do business with females. They also sold exotic beast meat. Probably because the foodie attribute was deeply ingrained in their bloodline, the Green Forest Tribe was the only clean stream in the world of beastmen's dark cuisine. Although their culinary skills were much worse than Gou Liang's, it could already be considered an extraordinary delicacy among the beastmen.
It was just that very few male beastmen would be greedy and spend ten times the amount of jerky to buy a small amount of exotic beast meat.
If it was any other time, Meng Hao definitely wouldn't be willing to spend such a large amount of money to enjoy his appetite. However, this time, Lang Fei was there. He almost ordered everything in the restaurant. Lang Fei and Meng Hui were dumbfounded.
Lang Fei whispered, "Hui, your brother … is there something wrong with him?"
Although Meng Hui was also puzzled, he still glared at Lang Fei. Then he scratched his head and said to his brother, "Brother, I'll just go back and eat jerky. Let's forget about this. Isn't it just to fill our stomachs … It's such a waste."
He had to pay ten times the amount of jerky for this meal. He was really heartbroken.
He still didn't realize that he was just passing by this time. The person his brother wanted to "please" wasn't him at all.
Meng Hui smiled and said, "Lang Fei, if there's anything else you want to eat, just order it. It's rare for us to eat, so don't be shy."
Lang Fei was baffled. He looked at his brother who was smiling brightly beside Meng Hao. Seeing that he nodded at him, he didn't refuse.
In Aomori Restaurant, they paid for the jerky before the dishes were served. Therefore, the ape tribe beastmen who were famous for their treasures looked at Meng Hao as if they were looking at jerky. They enthusiastically recommended their own private stash to him. It couldn't be helped. Ever since their quiet Treant neighbor destroyed their old nest, the Aoki Forest Beastmen who relocated their tribe had a shortage of food in this Red Rose season. Every piece of jerky they could save was a piece of jerky.
Meng Hao didn't refuse any of them.
Lang Fei said again, "Hui, Brother Hao, he really …?"
This time, even Meng Hui couldn't speak up for his brother.
While the two were fighting with their eyes, a fierce argument suddenly came from outside Aomori Restaurant.
"It's Ah Zan."
Lang Fei heard a familiar voice and immediately moved his nose. After confirming that it was the smell of his companions from the Wall tribe, he became a little anxious.
Meng Hao was still listening attentively to the ape tribe beastmen's recommendations. Gou Liang held back his laughter and said, "You and Meng Hui go and have a look. It's best not to have a conflict with anyone."
Lang Fei and Meng Hui then left the table.
When they went out to take a look, it was indeed the Wall tribe who had a dispute with someone. The other party was none other than the rhinoceros tribe beastmen from the Bray tribe who had a deep grudge with the Wall tribe.
The rhinoceros tribe beastmen had a single horn on their foreheads. Because of their natural dark skin color, they had a natural advantage in battle. The rhinoceros tribe was also very belligerent. This was why their population was less than one-fifth of the Wall tribe's, but they often challenged the Wall tribe and made things difficult for them.
However, the conflict this time wasn't caused by the feud between the two tribes, but by the beautiful female who was blocked by the Wall tribe beastmen.
Yue Jing.
When Meng Hui and Gou Liang walked in, they heard the arrogant rhinoceros beastman say, "What kind of Wall tribe's female is she? She is the priest of the Moon Fox tribe. Staying in the Wall tribe will only bring disaster. If I exchange ten females for her, your chief will be happy to give her to me. "
"Shut your stinky mouth!"
Several Wall tribe beastmen led by Ah Zan finally couldn't help but make a move.
Lang Fei quickly rushed up and blocked them with Meng Hui. He stared fiercely at the rhinoceros beastman and said, "Bohr, are you trying to snatch the females in the Red Moon Market and start a war? Aren't you afraid that the Beast God will punish you despicable beastmen who break their promises?! "
"Oh, isn't this the son of the Winged Wolf tribe's chief? What right do you have to talk to me like this? I remember that the next chief candidate is not you. "
The rhinoceros beastman named Bohr said disdainfully.
"Get lost!"
Meng Hui, who always followed his brother's refined way of speaking, said sternly.
Bohr was furious. An Orc from the River Lake tribe beside him stopped him and whispered a few words in his ear.
Bohr looked at Meng Hui and said, "So you are the crippled black winged wolf of the Wall tribe. It's a pity that you have recovered. Humph, we are not here to snatch. Didn't we come to the Red Moon Market to trade? I have taken a fancy to that female. If I exchange her with ten times the number of females, it's your Wall tribe who is taking advantage, right? "
"In your dreams —"
"Lang Fei."
Gou Liang interrupted him. "The dishes are on the table. Please invite your friend in."
Lang Fei stopped attacking and was about to answer when he saw Bohr staring at Gou Liang lecherously. He said excitedly, "I don't want that female anymore. Fifty females in exchange for her!"
He pointed at Gou Liang.
Gou Liang was startled for a moment, then he smiled.
"You mean, me?"
