I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 167 Ears

Bai Ling stared with obsidian-like eyes, her expression a mixture of confusion and innocence: "Yue, what's wrong? What did I do?"

Yue's face turned even redder, and he lowered his head without saying a word.

Bai Ling chuckled softly, the sound echoing in the small cave. Yue seemed to understand something, her ears turning a deep red that looked like they were about to bleed.

He didn't dare to look up at Bai Ling at all, and his breathing became rapid.

Bai Ling smiled but didn't speak again. For a moment, the only sound in the cave was the crackling of burning charcoal.

After the meat was roasted, Bai Ling also roasted the little white beast's internal organs and kidneys. Meanwhile, the mung bean porridge in the earthenware pot was ready. Yue served two bowls of mung bean porridge. Bai Ling used a dagger to cut the roasted beast meat and arranged it neatly in the earthenware bowl. The roasted internal organs were also placed in the earthenware bowl. The two of them carried the food to the cave entrance to eat.

Because of the fire used for roasting meat, the temperature inside the cave was somewhat stuffy. The two of them didn't say anything and started eating.

There wasn't a single star in the sky. The wind rustled the trees in the distance and the grass nearby. As far as the eye could see, the only light came from the campfire in front of them. He and Yue sat in the only place of light in the world, eating delicious food together.

This made Bai Ling very happy. During the meal, he frequently looked at Yue, and Yue would also frequently look at him. When their eyes met in mid-air, a faint smile would appear on their faces.

After eating, the two sat at the entrance of the cave. The fire was still burning, and the water in the earthenware basin was bubbling. Bai Ling took the earthenware basin down and put it aside, then added another piece of firewood to the fire.

Bai Ling sat down next to Yue.

This time he sat very close to Yue, and from behind, their bodies were already nestled together.

This was the first time the two had sat so close together. Yue's face flushed slightly, and he raised his body slightly, wanting to move away from Bai Ling, but Bai Ling grabbed his hand.

Yue sat down again.

Bai Ling held Yue's hand without saying a word, and Yue didn't speak either. The two of them just nestled together, looking out of the cave.

It was pitch black outside the cave, with the chirping of insects and the occasional sharp bird call. Bai Ling suddenly smiled.

His laughter was deep and magnetic, and Yue's heart beat faster because of it.

"Ling, what are you laughing at?" Yue asked.

Bai Ling said, "I laugh at how lucky I am."

"Lucky?"

"Yes, to have met Yue, and for Yue to like me, isn't that lucky enough!"

Yue's face turned red again. He realized that his face always turned bright red whenever he was with Ling.

“Then I’m very lucky,” Yue said softly, “because I like Ling, and Ling likes me too. That’s the luckiest thing.”

Bai Ling spread the animal hide on the ground. He had already swept away the charcoal, and the ground was no longer hot. After spreading the animal hide on the ground, the two lay down.

This wasn't the first time the two had gone out, nor was it the first time they had been alone together, but it was the first time they had slept together in human form.

In the past, when he went out, he would use his animal form to rest at night. But this time was different. In this quiet night, in this small cave, Bai Ling slept face to face with the moon in his human form for the first time.

There was little light outside the cave, and it was pitch black inside as well. Even at such close range, Bai Ling couldn't see Yue's face clearly.

But Bai Ling could meticulously depict the moon's appearance. The moon had a smooth forehead, curved eyes with slightly upturned corners, and ice-blue pupils. It had a high nose bridge, full lips, skin as smooth as jade, and long, silvery-white hair as soft as moonlight.

Bai Ling couldn't sleep at all; his eyes were fixed on the moon, like a wild beast in the dark eyeing its prey.

He shed his gentle exterior, and the look in his eyes as he looked at Yue revealed a deep possessiveness completely different from before. No matter how gentle Bai Ling was, he would still have indescribable intense emotions when facing the person he loved.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Bai Ling moved closer to the moon and stared at it without restraint.

Yue's breathing quickened, and then a pair of fluffy white ears, quite conspicuous in the darkness, peeked out from Yue's silvery-white hair.

Those ears were like newly sprouted buds, trembling and shy, not even daring to lift their heads to look at the world.

Bai Ling's eyes widened suddenly. He thought he was seeing things and unconsciously moved closer to the moon.

The ears seemed startled and twitched uneasily, then their owner opened their eyes.

Yue's breathing became a little rapid, and he leaned back slightly: "Ling, close your eyes and don't look at me anymore."

Yue's tone was commanding, not as gentle as before.

Bai Ling didn't close his eyes. How could he bear to close them at this moment? Bai Ling's breathing was also a little rapid. His heart felt like it was about to jump out of his chest. His body temperature rose rapidly, and his skin began to feel slightly hot.

"Moon, what's going on?"

Yue Fei glared at Bai Ling quickly. Ling even asked him what was going on. If Ling hadn't been staring at him, his ears wouldn't have popped out.

His voice was a little muffled, as if he had a piece of candy in his throat: "Who told you to stare at me?"

When orcs are emotionally agitated, their ears will protrude, especially when they are alone with their partners. This is a secret known to all orcs.

Yue's ears twitched involuntarily, because Ling not only didn't close his eyes, but stared at him even more brazenly. Moreover, Yue saw a hand reach out towards him in the darkness, then stop a hand's width away from his face.

Yue heard Ling's slightly trembling voice: "Yue, may I touch your ears?"

Yue immediately refused: "No."

Orcs' ears are sensitive areas, especially at times like this. Just now, Ling didn't even touch them; his hand simply reached out without touching their ears, yet their ears twitched involuntarily and felt intensely hot.

Yue didn't even dare to imagine what would happen if Ling really pinched her ears.

Feeling a little disappointed after being rejected, Bai Ling could only withdraw his hand and stare intently at Yue's ear.

The cave was pitch black, but he and Yue were so close that Yue's white ears were very noticeable in the darkness. He saw Yue's ears twitch slightly and then droop down.

So cute! Bai Ling screamed inwardly, she really wanted to touch it!

Bai Ling felt a surge of heat rushing out of his body. His head was burning, his eyes were throbbing, and his blood was boiling. His ears were itchy, and then something popped out behind his ears.
