I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 275 The Popular Sugar Figurines

Bai Ling explained, "This is called a sugar figurine. It's made of sugar, and sugar is sweet, just like the taste of sweet grass and sweet worm water."

Upon hearing that it was sweet, the orc immediately wanted it and asked, "Can I trade one?" He took off the basket on his back and said, "I brought some animal meat and hides, as well as some very pretty seashells."

Yue said, "We only trade with cubs, but since you're the first one to ask, we can trade with you for one."

The orc looked a little disappointed when he heard that he could only trade with a cub, but he quickly cheered up again because Yue said he could trade with him for one.

The orc immediately pushed the basket forward: "Moon, take whatever you want."

Yue shook her head: "Just give us a piece of jerky, divide one strip of jerky into ten pieces, and we only need one piece."

Bai Ling and Yue didn't lack anything. They came to the Chada Convention to make sugar figurines simply because they liked cubs and were bored at the convention with nothing else to do.

While Yue was talking to the orc, Bai Ling had already started making sugar figurines. He remembered that the orc's animal form was a tiger. Bai Ling quickly made a small tiger with his hands.

Following Bai Ling's instructions, the orc put the tiger's tail in his mouth and slowly blew air into the sugar figurine.

After the sugar figurine was fully inflated, Bai Ling handed it to the beastman: "It's hot now, so you have to eat it quickly, or it will melt."

The orc took the sugar figurine, happily thanked Bai Ling and Yue, then held the sugar figurine in one hand and shielded it with the other, and ran away quickly.

As soon as the orc left, a large group of orcs surrounded them, bombarding them with questions. There were so many people that Bai Ling and Yue didn't even know how to answer.

Bai Ling quickly shouted, "We only exchange our sugar figurines with cubs. If you have cubs at home, you can bring your cubs to exchange for sugar figurines. If you don't have cubs, we won't exchange them."

Orcs love sweets, and if they accepted everything, the lines at their stalls would stretch forever. Even if they spent all three days making sugar figurines, they probably wouldn't be able to finish.

Upon hearing that the sugar figurine was only available for trade with cubs, many beastmen's expressions fell. They had no cubs at home and couldn't make the trade.

Only a small number of orcs' eyes lit up. They had cubs at home, so they hurried back to bring their cubs back and exchange them for sugar figurines with Ling and Yue.

A queue formed in front of Bai Ling and Yue's stall.

The normally lively and active cubs were now all quietly and obediently nestled in their parents' arms, their round eyes wide open, craning their necks to look ahead. Both adults and cubs could smell a faint sweet scent.

That's a food called maltose, and it's the smell that comes out when it's being boiled.

The orcs queuing here had never tasted maltose before, but just smelling it was enough to make them almost intoxicated.

The orc at the front of the line was holding a baby monkey in his arms.

Baby monkeys are the most lively and mischievous cubs; they are basically always busy and making a ruckus. However, this baby monkey stayed obediently in the adult's arms, watching Bai Ling's movements with wide eyes.

Bai Ling's hands moved nimbly, and in no time he had sculpted a little monkey. He sculpted it in the shape of the Monkey King, so the monkey was holding a stick in its hand.

The cub's father was blowing air into it, and asked, "Ling, what is it holding in its hand?"

Bai Ling explained, "This is called the Golden Cudgel, and it's an extremely powerful weapon."

As the two were talking, the cub's father had already blown air into the sugar figurine. Bai Ling skillfully tied a knot at the monkey's tail and then handed the sugar figurine to the cub: "Eat the sugar figurine quickly, or it will melt."

Bai Ling and Yue's stall was so eye-catching that even beastmen without cubs at home gathered around to watch.

Sugar figurines are so rare; even if you can't eat them, just looking at them is enough.

Because business was so good, Bai Ling and Yue didn't go home for lunch. Chen brought their lunch to the stall, and Bai Ling and Yue ate a little before continuing to work.

None of the orcs still in line left. Each orc had a child and continued to queue while the other went to eat. After eating, the other would come back to relieve the partner with the child.

The children refused to leave, so their fathers had to bring food and feed them there.

Bai Ling and Yue were busy all day. Actually, if they had only been exchanging with the cubs, they could have finished in half a day. However, because the sugar figurines were so rare and delicious, in addition to the cubs, the children also came to exchange. They transformed into their animal forms and were led by adults to line up.

Children and cubs are the objects of the beastmen's love and care, and they also lined up. Bai Ling and Yue didn't say anything, but continued to make sugar figurines.

Now that the children and cubs have all received the sugar figurines, Bai Ling still has some maltose left. When the surrounding orcs saw that Bai Ling had leftover maltose, they immediately asked, "Ling, are you coming back to set up your stall tomorrow?"

"I see there's still maltose left. Do you still sell sugar figurines?"

"Moon, I can trade you a whole strip of jerky for just one sugar figurine."

"Yes, I really want to eat a sugar figurine."

…………

The onlookers all spoke up to make their requests, and Bai Ling thought for a moment and said, "How about this, we'll set up our stall again tomorrow, you can just come over then."

Upon hearing that the two would be back to set up their stall the next day, the large group of orcs gathered around cheered.

From her teenage years, Yue would stay in the Dahe tribe for a period of time every year. After she grew up, she also went out hunting with the Dahe tribe's hunting team, so Yue was very familiar with the Dahe tribe.

The Great River Tribe is named so because a great river flows through the tribe, and this river has several tributaries. There is a tributary not far from the tribe's settlement.

Although this river was a tributary, Bai Ling considered it a major river, with a wide surface and rapid current. Bai Ling and Yue stood side by side on the bank, looking at the ever-flowing river in the distance.

A bright full moon hangs in the sky, lush vegetation covers the ground, a vast plain lies behind them, and a rushing river flows in front of them. A white lion and a white wolf stand atop a high rock, howling together at the moon.

It was extremely quiet around us; the small animals that usually roamed the area seemed to have all disappeared, with only the occasional chirping of insects.

Their cries were perfectly synchronized, rising and falling in unison, long and short, even their breathing and exhalation frequencies were identical.

After calling for a while, Bai Ling and Yue stopped at the same time. They both turned their heads slightly, their ice-blue eyes and black eyes looking at each other at the same time, and smiles appeared on their furry faces.
