I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 236 A Unique Treasure

Bai Ling exerted force with both hands, the snow under her feet crunched, and the two switched positions, with Yue's back gently bumping against the stone.

Yuehou leaned against a rock, with his lover in front of him. Although they were in a wide-open wilderness, he was trapped in a small space and couldn't even move.

He felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, and he couldn't resist or escape. He couldn't even move a finger and could only passively endure everything that mountain gave him.

"Moon, may I kiss my moon?" Bai Ling trapped the moon between himself and the stone, but did not kiss it immediately. Instead, he asked for the moon's opinion first.

Yueming asked knowingly, "Who is your moon?"

“Mmm~” Bai Ling drawled, “He is the best person in the world, the most precious and unique treasure in the world.” Bai Ling looked at Yue, the two of them very close, so close that Bai Ling could see Yue’s long eyelashes. “He is also the person I want to love for a lifetime.”

Yue pursed his lips and smiled as he looked at Bai Ling, saying, "Then the best person in the world, the most precious and unique treasure in the world, commands you, you may now kiss your moon."

As soon as Yue finished speaking, Bai Ling's icy lips pressed down on hers.

Both of their lips were icy cold. There was even a snowflake that hadn't melted yet on the corner of Yue's lips. Bai Ling stuck out her tongue and carefully licked the snowflake into her mouth.

The snowflakes melted into cool water droplets as soon as they entered her mouth, but Bai Ling didn't feel the coldness. Instead, she felt that the snowflakes had a sweet taste.

That was the scent of the moon.

Upon tasting Yue's body, Bai Ling could no longer restrain himself. His actions suddenly became more intense, as if he wanted to swallow Yue whole, without even peeling off the skin.

*

Yue didn't dodge or struggle; this time, he didn't even submit, but instead yielded and entangled with her.

Despite the blizzard, the temperature between the two was incredibly high. Bai Ling felt like she was in a furnace, capable of burning the moon away.

When they parted, both were breathless. Bai Ling held Yue tightly in his arms and said in a hoarse voice, "Yue, when will your father and father come back?"

Bai Ling really wanted to get married to Yue right away, so that they could be true partners and be together day and night.

However, in order to hold a wedding with Yue, the first thing they need is the consent of both of their fathers. Feng and Cang have no objection to their marriage, but Yue's father is not in the tribe at all. They have gone on a journey and it is unknown when they will return.

Since they couldn't come back, their wedding couldn't be finalized, and Bai Ling could only wait.

“I don’t know either,” Yue said.

With his beloved in his arms, Bai Ling's heart burned with joy. He placed a kiss on Yue's cheek and said, "Yue, let's build a house next year."

“Let’s build the house first and tidy it up carefully, so that when your father and father come back, we can hold the wedding immediately.”

Bai Ling had this idea a long time ago. This year, all the tribe members have already built their houses, and not many people will be building houses next year. Bai Ling can now build his and Yue's future home with peace of mind.

He had already planned it out: the house would be spacious, the yard would be filled with fruit trees and flowers, and the furniture in the house would be gradually put in place. Once Yue's father and father returned, he would immediately go to propose marriage and then hold the wedding in the shortest possible time.

Without even thinking, Yue said, "Okay, then we'll build a house next year."

Their eyes met, the heat in the air intensified once more, and Bai Ling pressed down on Yue again.

*

The cold wind howled and snowflakes fluttered. The beastmen stayed in their warm houses and didn't come out. It seemed as if the two of them were the only ones in the world.

Bai Ling held Yue's hand and walked slowly through the snow.

Their feet crunched on the thick snow. They were very close together, walking in almost the same pace. Bai Ling's hands were still inside Yue's gloves. Her hands, which were originally warm, were now burning hot.

Because of the heat, their bodies warmed up considerably, and they were no longer afraid of the swirling snow.

Bai Ling first took Yue home, and the two looked at each other for a long time before Yue finally took her hand out of Bai Ling's pocket.

"Yue, stretch out your hands," Bai Ling said to Yue.

Although Yue didn't know what Bai Ling was going to do, she obediently stretched out her hand. Bai Ling took off Yue's gloves and then put his own gloves on Yue.

Seeing Yue's questioning gaze, Bai Ling held up the gloves that had been squeezing her hands: "These gloves are a bit loose, I can wear them from now on."

Yue didn't speak. He just looked at Bai Ling quietly for a second, then took Bai Ling's hand, which hadn't had time to put on gloves, and bent down slightly to place a kiss on it.

Then Yue smiled at Bai Ling, nimbly jumped over the fence, waved to Bai Ling, and went home.

After the moon disappeared, Bai Ling seemed to come back to his senses. He raised the hand that the moon had kissed and gently placed a kiss on it as well.

The cold weather is not easy for the elderly. Even with a comfortable house and enough food, winter is still difficult for them.

An old man in the tribe had been sick since winter began. He was unmarried and was cared for by the tribe's beastmen. After he fell ill, the tribe specially sent beastmen to invite the shaman of the Snow Mountain tribe, but it was still of no use and the old man's health did not improve.

As the weather grew colder, the old man's health deteriorated. Without Zhan's instructions, the beastmen spontaneously organized themselves to take turns caring for him.

Bai Ling also visited the old man, who recognized her and said "thank you" in a hoarse voice.

Bai Ling knew why the old man said "thank you"—because he had built a house and found enough food for the orcs, allowing the old man to live a comfortable and dignified life in his final days.

Bai Ling's eyes were a little red. He shook his head and said, "You don't need to thank me. This is what I should do."

The old man looked at Yue, who was standing next to Bai Ling, and said in a hoarse voice, "Ling, Yue, you two must take good care of yourselves."

Bai Ling and Yue nodded together. The old man smiled and didn't say anything more. An old beastman who lived with the old man said, "Shi, life in the tribe will get better and better. You have to get better soon. Next year we'll go pick wild fruits together. You've always loved to steal fruits from me since you were little. Next year I'll steal them from you too."

The old man's eyes lit up, and he looked better. His eyes were fixed, as if he really saw that scene. A smile slowly appeared on his lips, and he even spoke with a bit more strength: "Okay, let's pick fruit together next year."
