Chapter: Chapter 406
On their first night with the orcs, Leticia slept soundly.
Clutching a fragrant oversized pillow, it would have been strange if she hadn’t slept well.
“Haaah, I found out my abilities can be used here too, but are these orcs all mentally retarded? Why are their dreams so weird?” Stretching, Leticia rubbed her eyes and emerged from Bai Ling’s embrace. Judging by the light filtering through the tent’s seams, it shouldn’t be too early.
Bai Ling seemed to have woken up quite early. After Leticia slipped out of her embrace, she sat up, looking at Leticia with a smile, “Isn’t that a good thing?”
“It is indeed a good thing, it can speed up my recovery.” Leticia yawned again and pushed Bai Ling, “You go out, I need to change.”
After all, she had to do some minor activities with Silver Fang at the water source today, so she couldn’t go out in her pajamas.
“Who are we to each other? Don’t be shy.” Bai Ling winked at Leticia, indicating she wanted to stay in the tent.
Leticia’s answer was an absolute no.
Kicked out of the tent by Leticia, Bai Ling, slightly disheveled, saw Silver Fang, who perhaps had been waiting outside for a long time.
Naturally, Silver Fang noticed Bai Ling, who was being kicked out of the tent in a messy state. Her expression immediately became strange. This scene gave her a peculiar sense of déjà vu.
It was like how her father, who was now permanently offline, was often treated by her mother.
Uh, should be an illusion, right?
How could a demon girl and a human girl have such a relationship? An illusion, it must be an illusion!
Due to the language barrier, Silver Fang could only stare blankly at Bai Ling while waiting for the main person to come out of the tent. During this time, Bai Ling tidied up her appearance in a way that Silver Fang never would have imagined.
Can someone tell her why Bai Ling was glowing? Why, after glowing, did her clothes become neat? That was too magical.
You’re not human, so why do you have such miraculous means?
Perhaps sensing the surprise in Silver Fang’s eyes, Bai Ling turned her head and gave the dog-eared girl a meaningful smile.
Silver Fang immediately shivered and nodded frantically, indicating that she wouldn’t think anymore.
Seeing Silver Fang’s reaction, Bai Ling nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that even with a language barrier, some things could be understood without words.
For example, threats.
Amidst the extremely awkward atmosphere, Leticia, who had changed into new clothes, walked out of the tent. These clothes were also something Kira had left in the divine artifact space. Leticia saw that they fit her perfectly, so she borrowed them for the time being.
Looking at Leticia in her black dress, Bai Ling couldn’t help but murmur in admiration, “Very beautiful.”
Especially that perfect calf wrapped in black stockings, it was the finishing touch.
“Can’t your mind contain anything normal?” Leticia crossed her arms and, wearing heels, walked up to Silver Fang, “Look at Silver Fang, she’s so calm.”
But Silver Fang seemed to be stunned, showing no reaction to Leticia’s approach. Only when Leticia waved her hand in front of her eyes did she exclaim with an exaggerated expression, “Goddess!”
Well, this girl is also strangely oriented, beyond saving.
Forcefully tapping the heads of Silver Fang and Bai Ling each once, Leticia scolded them with annoyance, “Is there a need for such a big reaction? People more beautiful than me… there really aren’t many, cough, in short, can’t you guys act a bit more composed?”
“But you are beautiful, Kira has really good taste, these clothes suit you so well.” Bai Ling stubbornly insisted that she wouldn’t go against her true feelings, she was just lustful!
Leticia now looked like a noble young lady from those novels, shedding her usual subtle dignity and revealing her fragility. However, she wasn’t like an ordinary young lady who was delicate; she was soft yet strong, and the heroic spirit that permeated her bones could never be concealed.
This strong contrast did not affect Leticia’s overall appearance. On the contrary, this contrast made the girl even more attractive.
Do ordinary young ladies have such charm? No!
This is Leticia’s exclusive charm!
As for Silver Fang, the girl was simply inexperienced and hadn’t seen such a beautiful girl as Leticia, so she was just stunned. This is normal, isn’t it?
“Sorry, sorry, I’ve got everything ready, shall we set off now?” Silver Fang, her head having been tapped, shrunk her neck and asked a bit sheepishly.
To be so stunned was too embarrassing. She really wanted to dig a hole on the spot and bury herself forever, but unfortunately, she was a dog-girl, not a mouse-girl, so she didn’t have the talent to dig holes on the spot.
Therefore, she could only forcefully change the subject.
“No rush, let’s have breakfast first. Someone’s stomach is already growling.” Leticia turned to look at Bai Ling. Those subtle gurgles didn’t escape her ears.
Bai Ling, whose face was as thick as a city wall, blushed unusually. She quietly defended herself, “You can’t blame me, everyone gets hungry.”
But you’re the only one whose stomach is growling so loudly. Leticia suppressed the urge to say it, feeling that if she really said it, Bai Ling would rush at her with a blushing face and fight her.
And given her current physical condition, she couldn’t afford it. If she continued to be playful, she wouldn’t have the chance to be playful later.
“We’re eating breakfast now?” Silver Fang looked up at the sky. The sun, which was almost at the center of the sky, silently reminded them that they were probably eating lunch now.
“Cough, please don’t mind these details, thank you. Isn’t the first meal after waking up breakfast?” Leticia entered her babbling mode.
To this, Silver Fang replied, you have the strength, you’re beautiful, you’re right.
“By the way, Silver Fang, do you orcs have any special dishes? If so, can you get us one? We can exchange it with canned food.” Perhaps on a whim, Leticia asked Silver Fang about the specialty dishes of the orc tribe.
And Silver Fang did not disappoint, saying that Leticia’s expectations for the orc tribe were too high. Perhaps those tribes deep in the grasslands had the leisure to study cooking, but those tribes struggling to survive on the fringes of the grasslands had no such awareness.
They would just roast the hunted prey over a fire and eat it. When conditions were poor, they wouldn’t even roast it. This was the life of the lower-class orcs.
Simply imagining the taste of meat roasted like this, Leticia’s expression immediately became vivid. Having lived a life of luxury since childhood, she really couldn’t imagine what kind of devilish taste this was.
As for eating raw… forget it. Leticia hated raw meat the most.
“Can this stuff really be eaten?” Even Bai Ling, who had never been picky about food, thought this cooking method was too uninhibited.
Yes, although Bai Ling liked to eat delicious food, her pursuit of taste wasn’t that serious. In poor conditions, she could happily eat things like ham sausages.
“After all, they are orcs, it’s understandable.” Leticia opened a can, scooped out a spoonful of rice, and ate it while saying, “Our supplies won’t last many days. After these things are gone, we’ll have to find a way to hunt ourselves.”
Or go plundering? That was also a good idea.
However, Leticia still had some self-respect. Unless it was an emergency, she probably wouldn’t do such a thing. Probably.
“Hunting is quite simple, but seasonings are a big problem.” While Leticia was eating her first can, Bai Ling had already opened the third can and started digging in. The culprit for such rapid food consumption had been found.
Perhaps knowing that her appetite was a bit too large, Bai Ling also showed a hint of shyness on her face, “How about I go catch something edible later?”
Since the orcs chose to establish their tribes here, there should be hunting grounds nearby. A trip there would be no difficulty for Bai Ling to catch some edible animals.
“That’s a good idea. Let’s go to the river first to set things up, and then have Silver Fang take us to the hunting grounds.” Leticia scratched her hair and set today’s itinerary, “By the way, shouldn’t they have agriculture here? They can’t just eat meat without vegetables, right?”
Regarding Leticia’s question, Silver Fang stated that agriculture did exist among the orcs, but it was now the harsh winter, so Leticia couldn’t see any farming orcs.
“Our supplies this year are not much. If the winter lasts longer, many people might starve to death.” Silver Fang sighed with a worried expression.
Starving to death due to insufficient food in winter was not uncommon for small tribes like theirs, but even so, Silver Fang was still a bit unwilling.
They were all people she knew, and to just watch them starve to death, who could remain unmoved? Perhaps other orcs could do it, but Silver Fang couldn’t.
Her heart was still soft.
“Sigh, life and death are predetermined, and wealth is bestowed by heaven. It’s enough if you can minimize casualties.” Leticia patted Silver Fang. Her heart wasn’t as soft as Silver Fang’s; her kindness was only shown to those close to her. “Alright, we should go to the river to leave a small gift for those people.”
She had finished breakfast, and Bai Ling also seemed to be more restrained this time, stopping after eating only four cans, which was probably not even half full for the Sword Sage.
But even saving like this, Miss Bai’s food consumption was still too fast. If they didn’t find a solution to the food problem soon, in a few days, they would really have to drink the northwest wind.
She could only hope that there were enough prey in the nearby hunting grounds, Leticia thought to herself.
After spending some time, the three arrived at the small river from last night. Compared to yesterday, the small river was livelier today. Many orcs from the Silver Fang tribe were processing prey or washing things by the river, creating a bustling scene.
Upon seeing the three girls arriving together, the orcs greeted them amicably. Unfortunately, Leticia and Bai Ling couldn’t understand what these orcs were shouting.
It was Silver Fang who waved to the orcs and said something loudly. After the orcs lowered their heads and returned to their tasks, Silver Fang explained to Leticia what they had said: “They are greeting us. The two of you are a bit famous in the tribe now.”
Yesterday, Silver Fang had also led Leticia and Bai Ling around the tribe. Most orcs knew that two very beautiful guests had arrived in the tribe.
To ordinary orcs, Leticia and Bai Ling were very beautiful. Perhaps they didn’t quite fit their aesthetic, but they were definitely not ugly. Moreover, they knew that these guests were personally received by Saintess Silver Fang, indicating they were distinguished guests. Their attitude was naturally very good.
Although there were many illiterate orcs, it didn’t mean that all orcs were foolish. They understood simple self-preservation.
“I can see that their enthusiasm is genuine,” Leticia nodded, not dwelling on this matter. She and Bai Ling were just passers-by after all and would leave sooner or later. “I remember we acted over there last night, right?”
She pointed in a direction and asked the two.
Bai Ling thought for a moment and nodded hesitantly, “It should be around here. The light wasn’t very good last night, so I don’t remember the surroundings very clearly.”
Silver Fang, who was familiar with the surroundings, nodded affirmatively, “It’s there, I won’t misremember.”
As she spoke, she took out some small items from the cloth bag on her back. Most of them were simple talismans, which were what she had prepared to frame someone. “Is it enough to just leave these things there?”
“Of course not. Although I had some expectations about your intelligence, I think it’s better to consider your opponents to be smart.” Arriving at the site of yesterday’s crime, Leticia beckoned Bai Ling to come to the ground and said, “Use a little less force, create a scene of intense battle.”
“How light?” Bai Ling held her sword, indicating she wasn’t sure how much damage the average orc warrior could cause.
Her “light” also had different levels. She didn’t know which level of “light” corresponded to the damage ordinary orc warriors could inflict.
“Just chop a few times with your brute strength. Whether it’s deep or shallow probably doesn’t matter that much.” Leticia thought for a moment, then sought Silver Fang’s opinion, and finally gave her answer.
“Alright!”
While Bai Ling was digging, Leticia began to make some adjustments to the talismans Silver Fang had brought. Her goal was clear: to make the scene look realistic, at least to the extent that the orcs’ brains wouldn’t notice anything amiss.
