Chapter 270 Orcs from Other Tribes
Chapter 270 Orcs from Other Tribes
Four Sky Orcs landed outside the High Tree Tribe at the same time. Bai Ling and Yue slid off the Sky Orcs' backs one after the other. They had only taken a few steps after standing up when a young Orc quickly walked up to them.
This orc had beautiful peach blossom eyes and long black hair tied in a high ponytail. Bai Ling felt that this person looked somewhat familiar, so he couldn't help but take a second look. Only then did he realize that this orc looked somewhat like Yue's little uncle, Yu. No wonder he felt that the person looked familiar.
This beastman is Zhu, the son of Huiheyu and the older brother of Yue.
Zhu's gaze shifted from Yue to Bai Ling. After looking at Bai Ling several times, he put his arm around Yue's shoulder and asked with a grin, "Yue, this male must be Ling, right?"
Zhu used an affirmative tone.
Yue nodded and introduced Bai Ling to her brother in a generous manner: "Second brother, this is Ling, he is my soon-to-be partner."
Zhu laughed and said, "My father told me that you've found a partner, Yue." Zhu raised an eyebrow and continued, "So many beastmen pursued you before, but you rejected them all, saying you wouldn't find a partner for at least ten years. I didn't expect that in just two or three years, you've found a partner to spend your life with. I'm very curious about what your partner is like. My father said that I'll know when I meet him. He said your partner and you look very well-matched."
“My father was right, you two are indeed a perfect match, so I recognized him at first glance. He must be your future partner, Ling.”
Yue completely agreed with Zhu's words and even nodded: "Yes, Ling and I are indeed a good match."

Bai Ling's doubts were answered: these beastmen were not only from Uncle Yue's tribe, but also from several other nearby tribes.
Zhu said, "Besides these orcs, there are many more orcs on the road. The sky orcs can't carry all of them, so some of them walked here."
When it came to serious matters, Zhu became much more serious, no longer smiling: "Ling, whether it's the kang (heated brick bed), the crops, or the ironware that Yue gave me, they all amazed the orcs in our tribe. No, not amazed, but shocked. After the kang was made, our tribe's chief immediately contacted the surrounding tribes. When the orcs in the surrounding tribes saw the kang, the sprouting crops, the ironware, and all sorts of good things that my father and father mentioned, they were all very shocked. Several chiefs unanimously decided to send their tribes' orcs over to learn various skills from Ling."
As Zhu spoke, the orcs also came over. Upon hearing Bai Ling's name, they immediately bowed to Bai Ling and thanked him.
Bai Ling waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he hadn't done anything. The leading old orc said, "Ling, the kang (heated brick bed) will allow us to get through the whole winter, and the planting will give us more food. This is an immense favor, and we should thank you for it both morally and logically."
Bai Ling laughed and said, "Let's not stand here any longer. Let's hurry into the tribe. I'll take you to Chief Zhan's place and have him arrange accommodations for you."
Chief Zhan already had experience in arranging these orcs. Some of them were placed in their own tribe, where they followed the other orcs to tend the tribe's public fields and learn how to cultivate crops; others were sent to the Great River Tribe, since their own tribe no longer built many houses, and these orcs who wanted to learn how to build houses had to go to a nearby tribe.
The leading old orc thanked Chief Zhan and then took out the gifts he had brought.
Although the Sky Orcs are very large, they can only carry so many other orcs on their backs, so only the most valuable items are carried on their backs.
Soft animal hides, cured meat and fish, exquisite jewelry, dazzling gems, and some warm animal horns and teeth—these were the rewards paid by the beastmen.
All the baskets were opened and placed in front of Zhan and Bai Ling. The old beastman said, "On the way to Gaoshu Tribe, I was thinking, is it true that Yu and I described Gaoshu Tribe as the same as the place where the Beast God lives in the sky? Are they exaggerating too much? No matter how good or beautiful Gaoshu Tribe is, it can't be the same as the place where the Beast God lives."
At this point, the middle-aged orc's smile widened, and his gaze became distant: "It wasn't until I arrived here and saw everything that I realized the High Tree Tribe was indeed the same place where the Beast God lived, because it was so beautiful and gorgeous."
"I can't even imagine what our tribe would be like if we learned to build houses, farm, and make all sorts of tools."
"Even if our tribe is only half as good as the High Tree tribe, I will be content."
"Clan Chief Zhan, Ling, these gifts are our reward for learning. Please accept them."
As they spoke, the old orc stood up, and the other orcs also stood up. Together they gave Zhan and Bai Ling the most solemn salute of the orcs.
Zhan didn't move, and neither did Bai Ling; the two simply sat there and accepted the greetings from the orcs.
After the orcs finished their greetings, Zhan said, "Apart from iron smelting, I will teach you any skill you wish to learn."

The other beastmen lived in caves in the low mountains, while Zhu lived in Yue's house.
When Zhu Yi saw his grandfather and great-uncle, he went up to them and gave them a big hug: "Grandpa and great-uncle, I missed you."
Grandpa Yue patted Zhu on the back and said, "Yes, we missed you too."
Zhu took the basket off his back and said, "I brought some dried fish and some bird eggs. Let's boil the bird eggs for dinner tonight."
Grandpa Yue said, "We won't boil the bird eggs, I'll fry them for you. Ling, why don't you eat here too? I just made steamed dumplings for lunch today."
Bai Ling nodded and said, "I'll put the brine at home first, and then come over in a bit."
*
After Bai Ling left, Zhu grabbed Yue's arm and asked repeatedly, "Yue, tell me quickly, how did you and Ling meet? How did he pursue you? How did you two start dating?"
Yue has a beautiful face and immense strength, making her the perfect partner in a male's eyes. However, Yue's personality is too cold. No matter how much a male displays his strength in front of her, Yue remains unmoved and simply refuses with a blank expression.
The moon is considered by males to be the true moon hanging high in the sky, which can only be looked up at but no one can get close to.
But who would have thought that Yue would find a partner so quickly? It seems that their relationship is very good. Yue, who is usually expressionless, looks at her partner with an undeniable light in her eyes.
Zhu was extremely curious about how that beastman named Ling had managed to win over his unapproachable younger brother.
