Chapter 104: If You Eat My Melon, You Belong to Me

Aola was taken aback, didn’t everyone say Wuze was skillful and easy to talk to? Did he misunderstand the term “easy to talk to”?

Pouting, Aola intended to leave but noticed Wuze staring blankly at the stone pot while holding some silver dan grass.

Having cooked for Luo Sang for three years, Aola might not be a great cook, but he knew how to use cooking tools correctly.

After some thought, he walked over and took the silver dan grass from Wuze’s hand. “Are you going to brew some water?”

“No need for your help, I can do it myself.” Wuze answered without addressing the question.

As soon as he said that, Wuze snatched the silver dan grass back from Aola.

Since arriving in the tribe, Wuze had always been resistant to the people of the tribe and reluctant to interact with everyone.

This was largely because his tribe was brought in by Yin Lang, and people often looked at them with prejudice.

Due to Luo Sang and Fei Li, the tribe had refrained from making things difficult for them.

And for the sake of his people having a place to stay, he tried his best to ignore the strange looks from others.

Seeing Wuze’s confident demeanor, Aola decided not to help and just stood by watching.

The tender green leaves of the silver dan grass in Wuze’s hands were almost crushed, yet he still didn’t know how to start.

Unluckily for him, Aola was still standing there, and he glared at Aola in frustration. “Why aren’t you leaving?”

“I want to see how you’re going to brew water without putting any in the stone pot. Or do you plan to fry it up and feed it to the unconscious person?”

Wuze’s face turned red, he immediately added water to the stone pot and then threw the silver dan grass in.

“Pfft—” Aola finally couldn’t help but laugh.

Wuze frowned and spoke irritably, “What are you laughing at now?”

“Aren’t you supposed to break the silver dan grass? There’s still a large portion sticking out of the pot. Do you even know how to brew water?”

“Whether I know or not is…” Before he could finish, Aola took the silver dan grass, broke it into smaller pieces, and placed it back into the pot.

At this moment, Wuze stopped trying to act tough and watched Aola break the silver dan grass and light the fire.

In this place, most of the tribes consisted of orcs and humans as partners.

Orcs could deal with wild animals and hunt for food.

Humans were good at doing tedious housework, so most orcs chose humans as partners.

After finishing everything, Aola squatted in front of the stone pot, occasionally stirring the silver dan grass inside with a stick.

He also dampened some animal skin, folded it into a small piece, and placed it on the forehead of the unconscious orc.

Wuze forgot to refuse his help and silently watched him.

After they fed the brewed silver dan grass water to the unconscious orc, the two finally sat on a wooden bench inside the house to rest.

The sun gradually moved west, and the heat inside the house showed no sign of decreasing. Aola was drenched in sweat after a long day of work.

Silence spread between the two.

“Thank you.”

Hearing this, Aola turned to look at Wuze, smiling nonchalantly. “It’s fine, but can you help me fix the roof?”

“Of course.”

After saying that, their conversation ended, and the two fell silent again!

Suddenly, the unconscious orc on the bed moved. Wuze dashed to the bedside.

“You’re finally awake! How do you feel now?”

The orc supported his still somewhat dizzy head, struggling to ease his furrowed brow. “I’m fine, thank you, Lord Wuze.” The orc’s peripheral vision caught sight of Aola, the human in the room, and he couldn’t help but look at the two of them with a curious gaze.

It was unbelievable that the usually reclusive Lord Wuze would allow a human to enter the house!

“I’m feeling better, I’ll head home now.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the orc disappeared instantly, leaving the two alone.

‘Lord Wuze, this is all I can do.’

Everything happened so quickly that the two didn’t even realize they were alone in the room.

They exchanged an awkward glance.

Wuze said, “Don’t you want to fix the roof? Let’s go!”

Fei Li returned home with a faint smile lingering on his lips.

“What are you so happy about?” Luo Sang asked while drying him off and fanning him.

He met Luo Sang’s gaze. “What do you think about Wuze and Aola becoming partners?”

Them? The images of the two floated in Luo Sang’s mind, but he chose not to comment.

Fei Li sank into his own thoughts, not really interested in Luo Sang’s response.

After the last incident, he realized Aola wasn’t a bad person, perhaps Aola had looked down on him because of jealousy over a love rival. Thinking about this, his desire to bring Wuze and Aola together grew stronger.

Feeling ignored, Luo Sang spoke up in dissatisfaction. “If they become partners, that’s their business. I don’t want to meddle in anyone’s private affairs except yours.”

Noticing the displeasure in Luo Sang’s words, he quickly snapped back to reality.

“Am I thirsty?” he deliberately stretched out the last syllable.

Luo Sang brought over the remaining silver dan grass water and handed it to him.

“Am I hot?” Luo Sang continued to fan him.

After enjoying such excellent service, Fei Li felt a bit giddy.

Not only do pampered women have it good, but pampered men also have a decent life.

In a moment of excitement, Fei Li lost his grip on the stone bowl, and just as the silver dan grass water was about to spill on the ground, both Luo Sang and Fei Li reached for it. Using his spiritual power, Luo Sang managed to catch the bowl first.

He handed the bowl back to Fei Li, his eyes filled with affection. “You really are clumsy, what would you do if the bowl dropped on your foot?”

Fei Li bit his lip and stayed silent.

Words like that coming from the blunt, iron-willed man were incredibly charming to Fei Li.

Hmm?

What’s going on with the icy, cold sensation in my palm?

Looking down at his hand, he was completely stunned!

This is… ice?

The silver dan grass water in the stone bowl had actually frozen into ice, how could this happen?

Noticing his unusual expression, Luo Sang came over and immediately spotted the ice in the stone bowl.

“What is this?”

As he spoke, Luo Sang reached out to touch the ice, but the cold sensation made him quickly retract his hand. Fei Li stared blankly at the ice in the stone bowl, wondering how the water could suddenly turn into ice.

Thinking about everything that had just happened, he suddenly looked up at Luo Sang.

Could it be Luo Sang?

He scrutinized Luo Sang with a questioning gaze. “Did you use your spiritual power when you grabbed the bowl just now?”

Not understanding why he was asking that, Luo Sang nodded honestly.

A flicker of doubt appeared in his heart, and he quickly pulled Luo Sang over to the water tank.

“Try using your spiritual power on the water in the tank.”

Not sure what he was up to, Luo Sang complied.

Using one hand to channel his spiritual power toward the water tank, the water inside immediately froze into ice.

Fei Li quickly stepped forward and stood in front of the water tank, staring at it for a long time, looking as if he had discovered a treasure.

He didn’t expect that Luo Sang’s spiritual power could actually freeze water.

In modern times, the two treasures of summer are refrigerators and air conditioners.

Now that he had ice, he could not only cool down but also make various refreshing foods.

Thinking of this, a smile crept onto his lips.

Meanwhile, Luo Sang was still standing there in a daze, staring at the unknown substance in the water tank.

“What on earth is going on? What are these things?”

Fei Li replied, “This is ice. With it, I won’t have to fear the heat anymore.”

“Is this also something from your family? Is it more useful than the silver dan grass?” Luo Sang glanced at the ice and then at Fei Li. Fei Li nodded and began to explain the uses of ice to Luo Sang.

Luo Sang was still confused but grasped the key point: with ice, Fei Li wouldn’t have to fear the heat. With that in mind, Luo Sang hurriedly walked toward the door, but Fei Li caught him just in time.

“What are you going to do?”

“I’ll get some more water and make more ice to make you more comfortable.”

“No need! It’s almost dark, and this should be enough for tonight. We can talk about it tomorrow!”

Luo Sang glanced outside and dismissed the idea of fetching water.

At night, Fei Li smashed the ice from the water tank into chunks and placed them in various corners.

The room immediately became much cooler, and Fei Li comfortably lay on the bed.

“Finally, I can get a good night’s sleep. Summer has been so unfriendly to me!”

Luo Sang lay beside him, saying, “I suddenly feel so hot.”

“Hot?”

He quickly reached out to check Luo Sang’s forehead, but Luo Sang caught his hand, flipping over to pin him down. The long night had only just begun for them.

The next day, Fei Li was awakened again by the heat.

Seeing that Luo Sang was still sound asleep, he shook Luo Sang awake. “Hot?” His soft voice left Luo Sang with no strength to resist.

Luo Sang rolled out of bed and immediately went to the river to fetch water.

While Luo Sang was busy getting water, Fei Li made breakfast for him and then left the tribe to head up the mountain.

With ice on hand, he naturally wanted to prepare some chilled fruit to beat the heat and satisfy his cravings.

On the summer morning, before the dew had evaporated, the mountains felt particularly refreshing.

His steps were quick as he aimed to pick some wild fruits before the sun rose fully.

Before long, he arrived at a lush forest filled with various types of trees.

As he entered the forest, he spotted some fruit hanging from the trees ahead and hurried over.

Standing on his tiptoes, he picked a fruit. “This seems to be a green fruit.”

Wiping it on his clothes, he took a bite.

It was sweet and juicy!

The ecological environment of the primitive society was great, the fruits hadn’t been treated with any ripening agents, and naturally ripened fruit was simply delicious.

He picked many green fruits, and by now, the sun had already shown half of its face, so he planned to return to the tribe.

As he walked out of the forest, he suddenly noticed a patch of lush green grass not far away, with some dark green, round objects on it. Driven by curiosity, he stepped toward the grass.

As he got closer, his face lit up with joy.

“It’s actually watermelon!”

The watermelons here couldn’t compare to the thin-skinned ones of modern times, they were much smaller.

He bent down to pick one, using a stone knife to cut it open, and the bright red flesh made him drool.

Setting the green fruit he was holding aside, he happily bit into the watermelon.

Watermelon and air conditioning are the essentials of summer, the more he thought about it, the happier he felt.

After finishing one watermelon, he was about to continue picking more.

Just as he bent down, something pressed against his back. He froze for a moment and carefully stood up.

“Who are you? How dare you steal my green melons!”

Green melons?

Looking at the watermelon lying among the leaves, the term “green melon” could indeed be fitting.

Seeing that he wasn’t speaking, the person behind him pressed a weapon against his waist. “If you eat these green melons, you’ll be mine from now on. Let me see your face.”

Having eaten someone else’s food, Fei Li could only turn back with a sense of guilt.

Upon seeing the person behind him, he was speechless for a long time.
