Chapter 90 Returning to the Tribe
The next morning, Ruan Mianmian was awakened by the noise.
Because of the cold weather, many orcs woke up early to exercise and warm up, hoping to warm up their bodies, which had been frozen all night, more quickly.
Moreover, the shaman of the Eastern tribe had previously performed divination, and now was the perfect time to hunt, as a blizzard would arrive in about ten days, making the weather even colder.
The wolf king lit a campfire early at the cave entrance, partly to keep warm and partly to roast meat. A full stomach would prepare the wolves for their hunt.
Yu had already lit a fire nearby and started roasting the sheep beast given to them by the wolf king. After they finished eating, they could return to the tribe.
I didn't go back all night, I don't know what it's like over there now.
Ruan Mianmian shivered as she put on the down jacket, thankful that it was still warm when she took it out of the storage space; otherwise, she didn't know if she would have had the courage to wear it in this freezing weather.
After getting dressed, she touched her cold, lifeless body and felt a pang of heartache.
Snakes are cold-blooded animals, so they should be sleeping in their burrows in this kind of weather.
But Sen stayed by her side all night.
Sen felt Ruan Mianmian's touch. He hissed at her a few times, then slowly moved his somewhat stiff body and released her.
"Sen, are you alright?" Ruan Mianmian asked him worriedly.
"I'm fine, don't worry. It's just that this cave is a bit too small, and I can't stretch out a bit."
Sen was overjoyed to see the little female's worried eyes.
Seeing this, Yu couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "Why don't you just transform into human form? This cave is so small, you'll have to move slowly."
Sen couldn't help but hiss in Yu's direction when he heard Yu's voice, threatening Yu not to say anything more because he knew Ruan Mianmian couldn't understand him.
Yu held back and didn't say anything more. Snake-like beastmen are the most cunning.
Ruan Mianmian looked at Sen and Yu and felt that there was something between them, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Since Yu had already said so, Sen transformed into human form and took Ruan Mianmian's hand as they walked towards the fire.
When the wolf king saw Ruan Mianmian get up, he quickly came over to greet her and asked if she would be participating in their wolf clan's hunt later.
Upon hearing this, Sen and Yu couldn't help but look at the wolf king with fierce eyes.
"Thank you for the invitation, Wolf King, but I must return to my tribe. The reason I didn't go back last night was because I was worried that the wolf tribe's orcs might experience high fevers. Now that you are all alright, I should head back as well."
Although Ruan Mianmian did not notice the wolf king's deeper meaning, she thought that since they were alright, she should go back to her tribe as soon as possible.
After all, the weather was quite cold, and she really missed her earthen bed.
Seeing that Ruan Mianmian was determined to leave, the wolf king did not try to stop her.
There was no reason to keep them here.
After all, Ruan Mianmian was the head of a clan, and she still had to return to her territory.
"Since the goddess is returning to her territory, we will not try to keep her any longer. The high shaman said that the weather would change in half a month, so we need to focus on hunting and will not visit the valley. If the goddess needs anything in the future, please send someone to the wolf clan to find us. The wolf clan will be a friend of the Eastern tribes from now on, and we will definitely help you if needed."
The wolf king spoke earnestly, hoping that Ruan Mianmian could see his sincerity.
"Okay, I understand. If the wolf clan has any further issues, you can send someone to find me."
Ruan Mianmian generously made a promise, which was exactly what the Wolf King wanted to hear.
The wolf king was indeed pleased to hear this, and then he said, "Because I have to lead a hunting party, I cannot personally escort you back. I will send them to escort you on your way back."
Although there should be no danger on this plain, with the wolf clan escorting them, not only is their safety guaranteed, but they can also conserve their energy.
Ruan Mianmian still remembers riding a wolf-beastman when she arrived; they were incredibly fast.
So she readily agreed, saying, "Okay, thank you, Wolf King. You can go about your business here; I'll head back after I finish my barbecue."
After talking with the Wolf King for a long time, Ruan Mianmian went to say goodbye to the female beastmen of the wolf clan. When everyone learned that she was leaving, they all showed their reluctance to part with her.
"Goddess, can't you stay? Our wolf clan is very strong and won't go hungry in winter. You can stay in our tribe."
Rou looked at Ruan Mianmian, her eyes revealing a hint of reluctance and a desire to keep her, and said softly.
"Goddess, can you not leave?" another little female chimed in, her tone pleading.
They all hoped that Ruan Mianmian could stay and become a part of their tribe.
However, Miyue silently walked to Ruan Mianmian's side and gently rubbed her furry wolf head against Ruan Mianmian's body, as if expressing her deep reluctance to part.
Although she didn't say anything, her actions spoke volumes.
Even though female beastmen are female, their transformed bodies are not to be underestimated.
Miyue's beast form at this moment was about the size of a calf, and her strength and size were impressive.
Mi Yue knew that as the chieftain of the Eastern tribe, Ruan Mianmian must have her own responsibilities and missions, and needed to return to her tribe.
Therefore, instead of asking Ruan Mianmian to stay like the other young females, she chose a silent way to express her reluctance to part.
Ruan Mianmian sensed Miyue's emotions. She gently stroked Miyue's head and comforted her, "Miyue, don't be sad. After this winter, you can have the Wolf King bring you to my tribe to find me. I'll make lots of delicious food for you then!"
When Miyue heard Ruan Mianmian's words, she looked up, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
She seemed to understand Ruan Mianmian's meaning, so she stopped rubbing against Ruan Mianmian and stood quietly to the side, waiting for the moment when she would meet Ruan Mianmian again in the future.
After talking for a while, Yu came over to call her, saying that the barbecue was ready.
Ruan Mianmian followed Yu back to the campfire and sat down to enjoy her breakfast, but her mind seemed elsewhere, and she appeared somewhat absent-minded.
Sen and Yu looked at her and shook their heads helplessly.
"If you like the females in their tribe, you can come and visit them when the weather gets warmer," Sen said, seeing Ruan Mianmian's reluctance to part with the females from other tribes.
After all, her tribe was almost entirely composed of male orcs, which might make Ruan Mianmian feel somewhat lonely and bored.
Females generally prefer to spend time with other females, enjoying each other's company and communication.
It seems that next spring, he will need to find some females willing to join their tribe.
This will not only allow Ruan Mianmian to have more partners, but also bring new vitality and energy to the entire tribe.
Despite their reluctance, they knew it was time to go back.
Wolf King, Miyue, and other beastmen gathered at the cave entrance, surrounding Ruan Mianmian.
The wolf clan elder stood quietly to the side. Suddenly, he knelt down and said, "Thank you, Goddess, for your assistance to the wolf clan. If you have any needs in the future, please give the order at any time, and the wolf clan will do its utmost."
Immediately afterwards, the Wolf King, Miyue, and the other orcs also knelt down to show their respect.
Ruan Mianmian felt a little flustered and quickly said, "Get up quickly. Actually, I haven't done much. The reason I came to help you is because the wolf clan helped me before. We're friends!"
Everyone was delighted to hear Ruan Mianmian say that. The Wolf King patted Sen and Yu on the shoulder and said that they could come to him anytime if they needed anything, and that the wolf clan welcomed the orcs from the Eastern tribes to visit.
Sen and Yu nodded at the same time, also very happy to have made friends with the powerful beastman Wolf King.
After exchanging a few more words, Ruan Mianmian and Sen sat on Jin's back and headed towards the valley. Three wolf-beastmen accompanied them, and they ran alongside Jin in a surrounding formation.
Yu, meanwhile, flew through the air, observing the surroundings.
They're going home!
