I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 139 The Most Powerful and Valiant Orc

Yue didn't say anything, which was clearly a tacit agreement.

Xiao laughed and said, "Yue, Ling is liked by many people. You should be happy. It shows that you have good taste."

Yue knew his unhappiness was somewhat inexplicable. Ling was so wonderful; it was only natural that people liked her. Just like in novels, the more people liked Ling, the better it proved his own judgment. But even so, he still felt a little unhappy when he heard that Ling was being pursued by many people.

It's like having a treasure that only you know how good it is, but then suddenly you discover that many other people are also coveting it.

Although the treasure still belonged to him, the gazes that fell on it still made him unhappy.

Yue fell silent, so Xiao continued, "Yue, if you're really unhappy because of this, then Ling is probably even more unhappy than you. You're the most beautiful female in the nearby tribes, and so brave and powerful. Countless males are attracted to you."

Yue said, "But I don't like them."

He only likes one person; the affections of others are meaningless to him.

Xiao laughed and said, "Ling doesn't like anyone else either. If you ask me, I don't know what's wrong with you two. You two are inseparable whenever you meet, but you just don't get together directly. I don't know what Ling is thinking. He has such a treasure like you by his side, why doesn't he hurry up and grab you? Why doesn't he confess to you?"

Orcs are very loyal. Once they have chosen someone, they will stay with them for life and never separate or look for someone else.

If two orcs decide to be together, it's for life. The orc will solemnly confess his love to his future partner, and only if the partner accepts the confession will the two officially be together.

Bai Ling has never confessed his feelings to Yue.

He wanted to plan the most romantic confession, a confession that Yueji would remember for a lifetime.

Bai Ling hasn't confessed to Yue yet, so the two haven't crossed that line and can't be considered truly together.

When Yue heard Xiao say this, she suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and a smile appeared in her icy blue eyes: "Xiao, I know what to do."

Xiao nodded and said, "It's good that you know, Yue. I'll talk to Ling after I see him and tell him to confess to you soon, otherwise you'll be snatched away by another beastman."

"No, I won't let other orcs take it away," Yue said. "Xiao, don't say anything to Ling. I already know how to resolve things between us."

Xiao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Yue, let's hurry up and sell the soap. Once we sell the soap, we can use the jerky to exchange for things."

There were so many people at the Chada Conference that Bai Ling was delayed on the way and finally arrived at Yue's stall after a while.

When he arrived, he happened to catch a male orc hunting in the afternoon of Invitation Month.

The male was wearing a fur skirt, revealing strong muscles on his back. He was tall and imposing, and even from behind, one could tell he was a fierce orc. He spoke loudly, and Bai Ling heard him before he even reached Yue's stall: "Yue, you are the champion of the Chada Tournament, and so am I. Let's go hunting together; we're sure to catch the most powerful beasts."

Bai Ling stopped in her tracks.

Orcs admire strength, and the stronger an orc is, the more sought after he is. This orc looks very strong from behind, and he is also the champion of the Chada Tournament, so he must be very popular among the females.

Bai Ling wanted to know how Yue had rejected him.

Having spent so much time with Yue, Bai Ling has never doubted Yue's character, and after confirming his feelings for Yue, he has never doubted Yue's love for him either.

Since Yue has fallen for him, her character wouldn't allow her to accept invitations from others, and her feelings for him wouldn't waver.

But Bai Ling still wanted to hear how Yue rejected this male.

Bai Ling heard Yue say, "I already have a partner I want to spend my life with, so I can't accept your invitation."

The male lowered his head, as if deep in thought, and then asked, "Moon, is the person you like even more valiant and powerful than me?"

Bai Ling saw Yue Bing's blue eyes crinkle into a smile, and a faint smile appeared on his lips: "Yes, he is the most powerful and brave orc."

After being rejected by Yue, the male didn't press the matter further. He said to Yue, "Then Yue, will you participate in the competition again this year? I really want to have a match with you."

The smile on Yue's lips disappeared, and her expression became serious: "I will participate, and I am also looking forward to competing with you."

The crowd dispersed, leaving only the orcs picking and choosing soap at the stall. Bai Ling walked over, and the female who was setting up the stall with Yue saw him smile and nudged Yue with her elbow, saying, "Yue, your most powerful and bravest orc is here."

When Yue said those words, he didn't think much about it; he just said what he felt. But when his clansmen joked with him about it, Yue blushed.

He couldn't say anything, and could only manage a dry "oh".

Bai Ling walked up to the stall and asked, "Does this soap sell well?"

Xiao laughed and said, "It's selling very well. This is only the first day, and we've already sold almost half of it." He pointed to the baskets on his back and said, "We've already exchanged quite a bit for dried meat. We'll share some dried meat with you after we sell out."

Bai Ling smiled and waved her hand: "I have a lot of dried meat at home. You can keep it and use it to exchange for things."

One of the females said, "How can that be? This method was taught to us by Ling. You have to get the most jerky."

Bai Ling: "I really don't need it. If you really want to thank me, leave me a few bars of soap."

“Alright, we’ll save some for you,” several orcs said in unison.

Xiao nudged Yue: "Yue, Ling is here to see you. Why don't you go shopping with him?"

Yue lowered her head: "No need, we can go shopping this afternoon."

Bai Ling walked around the stall, went to Yue's side, and said with a smile, "Let me help you promote your wares."

Yue shook her head: "No need. This kind of soap is very popular among young orcs. There's no need to advertise it."

Bai Ling then said, "Then I'll help you collect the dried meat."

"Ling, you don't need to do anything, just stand here," a female said with a smile. "We'll be closing up shop soon, and then you and Yue can go buy some delicious food together."

Bai Ling said to Yue, "Yue, wait a moment, I'll be right back."

Yue didn't ask any more questions. She smiled at Yue and then lowered her head to continue her work.

After Bai Ling arrived, the two did not exchange a single word. However, when their eyes met, a thousand words were already conveyed without being spoken.
