I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 125 I Miss You Too

Yuejian Bailing was stunned. The smile on his face changed from gentle to smug. He quickly stepped forward and took the bouquet of flowers from Bailing's hands before Bailing could say anything.

These are the most common wildflowers in the tribe, found everywhere, but to Yue, they appear very beautiful and unique.

Yue held the bouquet to his nose and sniffed it gently. He smelled a faint fragrance, so faint and light that it was almost imperceptible unless you looked closely. But if you did, you would find that it smelled quite pleasant, a blend of a gentle breeze and sweet insect water.

Smelling it makes you feel incredibly sweet, and all your fatigue disappears without a trace.

Yue was actually exhausted. Even the strongest and bravest orc would be mentally and physically exhausted after hunting for more than twenty days straight. But when she received Bai Ling's bouquet of flowers, smelled its pleasant fragrance, and looked at the person she had missed for more than twenty days, all of Yue's fatigue immediately disappeared.

A smile played on Yue's lips, her icy blue eyes sparkling like stars: "Yes, I like it very much."

"Ling, thank you."

Bai Ling finally came to his senses. His mind was still a little foggy, and he could only ask blankly, "Yue, when did you arrive?"

Yue stood facing Bai Ling, holding a bouquet of flowers. The gentle evening breeze ruffled his hair. Yue's face still showed signs of fatigue, but his expression was one of tenderness and joy.

“I didn’t see you in the tribe. I heard from the tribespeople that you were at the brick kiln, so I put down my basket and came over.”

Yue lowered her head again and sniffed the bouquet.

“I arrived just as you turned to pick the flowers,” Yue said. “You didn’t even see me.”

Bai Ling could only continue thinking based on Yue's words. He asked blankly, "Then why didn't you call me?"

The moon smiled, and the stars in her eyes shone even brighter: "Because I know you picked these flowers to give to me!"

I know that when you picked these flowers, you were thinking of me, and I know that you gave them to me to make me happy.

When I see you picking flowers for me so carefully and devoutly, how could I not feel happy and joyful!

Yue spoke very directly, but it was precisely these direct and simple yet passionate words that left Bai Ling speechless.

He was clearly eloquent and persuasive, and he could speak fluently in front of Yue, so why was he unable to say anything when Yue said such a simple sentence?

Bai Ling could only say dryly, "Yue, let's go back to the tribe."

Yue didn't say anything, but turned around, holding the bouquet, and walked with Bai Ling towards the tribe.

The wind became gentler, and Bai Ling's anxious mood disappeared. He suddenly remembered something, turned to Yue, and said, "Yue, I forgot to tell you something."

Yue tilted her head to look at him: "What is it?"

The two were separated by a bouquet of flowers, which were originally ordinary wildflowers without any scent, but now seemed to exude a sweet fragrance.

The aroma filled the air between Bai Ling and Yue, making them feel warm and sweet inside.

Bai Ling looked into Yue's eyes, which seemed to hold stars, and her smile deepened: "I haven't told you yet, but I've missed you a lot these past few days."

Yue didn't blush or flinch; instead, she looked directly into Bai Ling's eyes and smiled, "I missed you too."

They both laughed at the same time.

When the two returned to the tribe, the prey had already been distributed. By this time, the people who had gone out to gather had all returned, and most of the tribespeople had gathered in the square. As soon as Bai Ling and Yue returned, they were noticed by the tribespeople.

The two walked side by side, with Yue holding a large bouquet of wildflowers in her hands. It was obvious that the wildflowers were a gift from Ling to Yue.

The older members of the tribe smiled knowingly, while the younger, unmarried members were filled with envy. The orcs who knew the two well exchanged knowing glances, clearly very curious about their relationship.

The tribe members could all see that Bai Ling and Yue were basically together, but since they hadn't officially announced their relationship, the tribe members didn't feel comfortable asking them directly.

Bai Ling acted as if she hadn't noticed the curious looks from her tribesmen. She washed her hands with Yue and then lined up to wait for her meal.

The hunting team returned today, and the tribe cooked a lot of sausages on short notice. Bai Ling brought two bowls of meat soup, while Yue held a cassava cake in one hand and a bouquet of flowers in the other. The two found a place to eat.

After being apart for so many days, the two had a lot to talk about, and even though they were talking about small things, they felt incredibly warm and cozy.

On the very day the moon returned, the orcish group also reached the edge of the Great River Tribe's territory.

The orcs of the Great River tribe were the first to spot the large birds flying in the sky. The birds were enormous; there were no other birds of that size nearby. Moreover, the birds were cawing rhythmically as they descended.

The birds' calls were so penetrating that the orcs patrolling the Great River tribe quickly realized what was happening and waved repeatedly at the large birds in the sky.

Orcs have a sense of connection with each other, meaning they can recognize each other at a glance. The birds were flying very high when they were first spotted, but once they landed at a certain altitude, the patrolling orcs quickly realized that they were not ordinary birds, but orcs.

Broadly speaking, there are three types of orcs: those that fly, those that run on the ground, and those that swim in the water. The orcs near the Great River Tribe are all ground-dwelling orcs. Even the orcs of the Rock Turtle Tribe, strictly speaking, are also ground-dwelling orcs, not orcs that swim in the water like fish.

As for the identities of these bird-beastmen, the guards of the Great River Tribe had already guessed them.

The Great River Tribe is located in a relatively remote part of the Orcish Continent. In the center of the Orcish Continent, there is a very large Orcish tribe with a vast territory and more than 10,000 Orcs. That tribe is called the Central Tribe.

That tribe has all three types of orcs, and that tribe sends out caravans to trade with other tribes on the continent.

Because the Orcish continent is so vast and the roads are so difficult to traverse, and the caravans have to trade with the tribes they pass through, they travel and stop frequently, so they only visit the Great River Tribe once every three years.

The guards of the Great River tribe were overjoyed because the caravan from the Central Tribe had arrived, which meant they would bring many novel things.

The orcs descended from the sky, circling around a large tree for cover, and then transformed into human form.

Compared to the people of the Great River Tribe and the surrounding tribes, the Sky Orcs have more three-dimensional features, deeper pupils, and more vibrant hair color.
