Chapter 12

She was afraid that they wouldn’t be able to take the spicy food for the first time. She didn’t make much chili-fried meat, but she had roasted countless meat skewers for them. There would definitely be enough for them.

As for herself, because she was a little tired from eating meat all day yesterday, she went to pick some wild vegetables while they were busy and stir-fried them with chili. She would stew a pot of fish soup in the evening and add some wild vegetables. It was perfect!

Therefore, when Bai Ye sent off the hunting team and “coincidentally” passed by, he saw from afar that she was leading the dozen or so cubs of the tribe to eat and drink well. The entire eagle had been wiped out by them.

Bai Ye was surprised at first that she was getting along with the cubs in the tribe. In the past, she had hated whelps. She couldn’t stand them getting close, let alone doing what she was doing now. She led them to work and cooked for them herself.

Then, he was surprised that the food she made was so fragrant. Just by looking at the way the cubs wolfed down the food and snatched it from each other, he knew that the taste was definitely not bad. In the past, she had always been unwilling to work and was very lazy. He did not expect that after she was really willing to work, her cooking would actually be so good!

Pebble spotted him first. “The leader is here!”

Everyone in the Back Cliff Tribe respected Leader Bai Ye because he was truly capable. Not only could he bring abundant prey to the tribe, but he could also protect the tribe from external enemies.

Therefore, Pebble obsequiously sent a few skewers of roasted meat to Bai Ye. “Leader, try it. Sister Tang Guo’s roasted meat is delicious! This is the best roasted meat I’ve ever eaten!”

Tang Guo pretended not to see it. In any case, this was the eagle that he had painstakingly hunted.

She continued to eat the wild vegetables. She had to admit that this primitive society was free from pollution and harm. It was truly natural. Compared to the mutated species of later generations or the species cultivated in laboratories, the taste was simply worlds apart!

She took one bite after another, refusing to stop eating.

Bai Ye gave her an unobtrusive look. It was as if she didn’t even know he was there. No, even if she did, she’d pretend she didn’t see him. He felt a wave of irritation wash over him. He didn’t want to eat the roast she’d made, but the tantalizing aroma kept reaching his nose.

In the end, he couldn’t help it. He took a bite and was shocked!

Why was there such delicious roasted meat?!

In fact, Tang Guo had just brushed a layer of oil from the chili stir-fried meat on the roasted meat to enhance the taste. If one were to say that it was delicious, it would definitely not be comparable to chili stir-fried meat. However, these primitive people had never seen the world beyond the one in which they lived, so they treated the meat they had eaten for the first time as a heavenly treasure!

Seeing that the leader liked the meat roasted by Sister Tang Guo, Pebble could not help but feel very proud. Then, he generously gave him all the meat skewers in his hand.

Why would Bai Ye take food from a whelp? He didn’t take it. He just walked closer to Tang Guo and saw that she had cooked the eagle. He guessed that she had eaten at least a little. His expression softened.

Looking at a large mud pit at the side, he couldn’t help but ask, “What are you guys doing?”

Tang Guo didn’t really want to talk to this person, mainly because the original Tang Guo was too entangled with him. If she didn’t keep her distance from him, the people in the tribe would probably misunderstand.

She wanted to live a good life here and did not want to offend the tribe leader.

But what was wrong with this person? She didn’t even approach him anymore. Why was he haunting her?

Tang Guo wondered if the position she had chosen today was not good and she had gone into the path he had to take.

Pebble had a quick mouth and a simple mind. He felt that since Big Sister Tang Guo said that she didn’t like the leader anymore and didn’t even want to talk to him now, he would do it for her. After all, he had eaten a lot of meat made by Big Sister Tang Guo!

So he smacked his lips and repeated everything Tang Guo had said to them.

Bai Ye’s frown deepened. “You’re building a house?”

Tang Guo was speechless for a while before she nodded and said, “Yes, I want to build a house.”

“Is it made of dirt?” Bai looked at her differently.

Her father was the first to invent the straw huts in the tribe. However, many orcs with large bodies did not like them, so they still lived in caves.

She was the daughter of the former leader. Did she also inherit the former leader’s Star of Wisdom?

Even better than her father. Was she going to make an even more distinguished house?

So, was it because her Wisdom Star had awakened that she had changed from her normal state and stopped chasing him with all her heart?

Bai Ye suddenly felt hot inside. “What are you going to do? I’ll help you!”

Tang Guo immediately choked on a mouthful of chili and looked at him as if she had seen a ghost.

“Cough, cough!”

Seriously? Not only was this guy no longer avoiding her but he was actually leaning in?

Tang Guo wondered if he had been kicked in the head by a wild beast, or if his heart had been replaced, like hers?

There was a brief flicker of amusement in Bai Ye’s eyes before he explained in all seriousness.

“Your father was once the Wisdom Star of the tribe. He was the one who made that straw hut you’re living in now. Now that you are making a different house, this is a good thing for the development of the entire tribe.

As the leader of the tribe, I naturally have to help. Not only me, but I’ll also mobilize the capable members of the tribe to come along. You just have to tell us what to do.”
