I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 147 The competition is over

Bai Ling explained to them, "Wheat doesn't taste good when boiled; it only tastes good when the husk is removed and it's ground into flour. Flour can be used to make steamed buns, dumplings, pies, noodles, flatbreads, and many other delicious things. Once you taste it, you'll know just how delicious flour is."

Chen said from the side, "It's really delicious. The noodles are even better than the meat."

Chen has always missed the taste of noodles, and sometimes she even dreams about eating them.

Yue chimed in, “The noodles are indeed delicious.” He paused, as if trying to figure out how to put it, “Eating noodles makes my whole body feel satisfied.”

Since Chen and Yue had both said so, the young beastmen also began to yearn for the smell of flour. One beastman from the Rock Turtle tribe put his arm around the shoulder of the beastman next to him and said, "When autumn comes, I want to trade you wheat. You have to give me more wheat in return."

The orc he was holding was from the Great River Tribe: "At most, you can only exchange one basket; more than that is not allowed."

The orcs from the Rock Turtle tribe shouted exaggeratedly, "Aren't we best friends? Is best friends only worth a basket of wheat? I think they're worth at least two baskets!"

The orcs of the Great River tribe wouldn't budge: "It's only worth a basketful."

The young beastmen burst into laughter. Bai Ling leaned closer to Yue and whispered, "Yue, after the wheat is harvested and ground into flour, I'll make you lots of delicious food, okay?"

The moon's eyes sparkled, and he nodded, saying softly, "Mm."

Despite Yue's advice not to shout encouragement while holding a bouquet, Bai Ling still picked a bunch of flowers during his break. He carefully selected the flowers and meticulously arranged them into a bouquet.

Yue's first opponent was an orc from the Great River Tribe. The orc's beast form was a tiger. He was half a head taller than Yue when he stood up. He was very strong, with muscles all over his body, and he looked very powerful.

He and Yue were about four meters apart. They both bowed their heads slightly as a greeting. After raising their heads, Yue remained standing still, while the man rushed towards her.

Bai Ling's heart jumped into his throat. He even forgot to breathe, staring at the moon without blinking.

Just as the man was about to rush in front of Yue, Yue dodged to the side, and at the same time, she reached out with both hands, grabbed the man's arm, and twisted it.

Bai Ling couldn't even shout encouragement to Yue anymore; she could only hold her breath and stare intently at Yue in the square.

*

Bai Ling knew Yue was brave and powerful, but he didn't expect Yue to be this powerful.

Yue's agility was simply unbelievable. Even orcs who were taller and stronger than him were no match for him. Yue wasn't the strongest or most muscular among the orcs participating in the competition, but his strength and speed were top-notch. His two opponents were much more robust than Yue, yet they were still easily defeated by him.

Only in the last match did Yue take a relatively long time, and his opponent was the male who had once confessed his feelings to him.

The two fought, creating gusts of wind. Neither of them had received formal training; all their moves were the most primitive, honed from long periods of hunting. There were no fancy techniques, only the most effective fighting methods.

However, this was just a competition, and Yue and her opponents were careful not to hurt each other.

The last match was also the longest.

The bouquet in Bai Ling's hand was already a little wilted when Yue and her opponent's competition finally ended.

By this time, the sun had already set halfway down, and the evening glow on the horizon was dyed in various beautiful colors. The beastmen formed a large circle, and their eyes were all fixed on the person in the very center.

He was a handsome young man, tall and slender with fair and smooth skin. His eyes were ice-blue, and though usually indifferent, they now held a faint smile as he looked at a male directly in front of him.

Yue's gaze met Bai Ling's gaze in mid-air. Bai Ling winked at Yue gently, then raised the bouquet in her hand.

This time, Yue wasn't shy, nor did she immediately back away. Instead, she gave Bai Ling this smile.

The smile was bright, warm, and determined.

Bai Ling was slightly taken aback. He had never seen a moon like this before, but he also really liked this bright moon.

The onlookers cheered, and several clan leaders walked up to Yue, where they also cheered.

Chief Li of the Great River Tribe took out a headdress made of exquisite jade and brightly colored feathers. Yue bent down slightly, and Li put the headdress on Yue's head. Then, he pulled Yue's hand up and shouted, "The winner of this Chada Tournament is Yue!"

"It is the moon of the Tall Tree Tribe."

A burst of enthusiastic cheers swept through the area once again. The beastmen were excitedly shouting "Moon's" name, and Bai Ling, holding a bouquet of flowers, was also shouting excitedly.

"moon."

"moon."

"moon."

…………

The cheers of Shen Hui formed an ocean, and in the very center of that ocean stood a handsome young man who seemed like a god from heaven.

Bai Ling could see nothing else but the moon.

Holding the bouquet in his hands, he subconsciously took a step towards the moon, and the surrounding crowd also surged towards the moon. The orc who won first place in the Chada Tournament was the bravest and most powerful orc in the surrounding tribes, and would be worshipped by all the orcs. The orcs would cheer around the first place winner, and some orcs would even put their own handmade ornaments on the first place winner to express their admiration and love for the winner.

The orc world is a primitive society where people survive by hunting and gathering. In such a society, individual strength is more highly valued than in modern society.

It can be said that the winner of the Chada Tournament is a hero of the surrounding tribes and will be worshipped by all the orcs in the surrounding tribes.

The moon also moved, and he strode towards Bai Ling.

This was something that had never happened before. In the past, after each Chada Tournament, the orc who won first place would stand in the center of the square and wait for the other orcs to surround him and celebrate.

But this time, Yue walked towards the crowd.

This made the orcs cheer even louder, and they walked faster. Bai Ling was already walking at the front of the crowd, so now he was being surrounded as he walked towards the moon.

A smile appeared on Yue's face, not a faint smile, but a bright and radiant smile like the sunshine.

His gaze remained fixed on Bai Ling. Even with so many people around, even with some running ahead of Bai Ling, even with some blocking half of Bai Ling's body, Yue and Bai Ling's eyes remained glued together.
