Chapter 106: Well… Give Me a Smile

The sounds of discussion invaded Luo Sang’s ears, and he frowned with a dark expression.

What kind of monster is Su Li?

In such a short time, he actually managed to win the hearts of so many orcs in the Wolf Tribe.

The more he thought about it, the more he disliked Su Li, and his desire to drive Su Li away grew stronger.

At this moment, Su Li, sitting on the ground, was in high spirits. When he turned to look at Luo Sang, he was met with a fierce glare.

Su Li smirked, patted his butt to get up, and said softly, “I think I’ll just leave! After all, I’m an outsider, and I’m afraid if I stay here, Lord Luo Sang won’t be happy.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Li turned to leave.

But just as he took a step, he was stopped by the orcs who were drooling over his looks. The other orcs all looked to Luo Sang, their eyes filled with a hint of pleading.

What a joke!

How could the single orcs of the Wolf Tribe let such a good-looking human leave?

“Lord Luo Sang, just keep Su Li here!”

“Yeah, for Lord Fei Li’s sake, you can’t drive him away.”

“Keep him.”

“Please, Lord Luo Sang, keep him.”

Luo Sang: “…” ‘I didn’t say anything at all.’

At this moment, Fei Li came out of the house and just happened to witness the orcs pleading with Luo Sang to keep Su Li.

He looked at Luo Sang, the words of plea already on the tip of his tongue.

“Fei Li, I’ll leave first. Your man doesn’t seem to welcome me, I should just go!” Su Li sighed.

Su Li’s pitiful appearance seemed as if he had suffered a great injustice.

The orcs of the Wolf Tribe saw this and felt a pang of heartache.

Hearing that Su Li was going to leave, Fei Li became anxious, as if his delicious food were also leaving.

“Luo Sang, just keep Su Li here! He…”

“When did I say I wanted to drive him away?” Luo Sang’s face was as dark as coal.

The orcs: “…”

Yes!

From beginning to end, Lord Luo Sang hadn’t said a single word.

Without caring about Luo Sang’s grievances, the orcs’s first reaction was to comfort Su Li!!!

Luo Sang felt like the pigs he had raised were running off with someone else.

What a bunch of ingrates!

Hearing this, Fei Li let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, his delicious food was still there.

A wicked smile flashed in Su Li’s eyes. ‘If you want me to stay, then it would be embarrassing for me to just agree.’ He turned to Luo Sang, “You really won’t drive me away?”

Luo Sang maintained a stoic face, remaining silent.

Fei Li nudged Luo Sang with his elbow, urging him to say something.

“Hmm!” Luo Sang reluctantly responded.

“Then smile for me to prove that you really want me to stay.” Su Li took the opportunity.

Luo Sang’s back teeth ground together, “Say that again.”

Fei Li interjected, “Luo Sang, don’t be so fierce, you’ll scare Su Li.”

After shooting a fierce glare at Su Li, Luo Sang managed to pull a reluctant smile.

Seeing this, Su Li burst out laughing, “Your man’s smile is really ugly, are you sure you don’t want to consider changing partners?”

The orcs: Ah, Su Li is mine!

Before he could provoke Luo Sang further, Su Li slipped away quickly.

Fuming, Luo Sang returned to the stone bench to sulk.

Meanwhile, Fei Li had been busy preparing the chilled green melon since entering the house, completely unaware of Luo Sang’s anger.

Fei Li cut the green melon into small pieces, took out some ice cubes from the water tank, and placed both into a stone bowl.

After mixing the ice with the bright red melon flesh, he brought the chilled green melon to Luo Sang.

“Quick, try the chilled green melon I made! It’s a summer delicacy, I guarantee you’ll never forget this cool taste for the rest of your life.” He stared intently at the chilled green melon in the stone bowl, completely ignoring Luo Sang’s expression.

Luo Sang shot a cold glance at the chilled green melon in Fei Li’s hand, turning away without any response.

Huh?

The foodie Luo Sang was actually unresponsive?

Realizing something was off with Luo Sang, he looked up and asked, “Why aren’t you eating? I’m telling you…”

“I don’t eat the things that Su Li brings.”

“……” What’s that supposed to mean?

Seeing the confusion in his eyes, Luo Sang snorted coldly and ignored him.

“What’s wrong with you?” Fei Li, slow on the uptake, still hadn’t figured out why Luo Sang was angry.

Looking at him, Luo Sang found it funny despite his irritation.

“Do you really not know?”

Fei Li shook his head, reaching for the green melon in the stone bowl, unable to resist his temptation.

Just as he grabbed a piece, Luo Sang snatched the bowl away, saying, “You can’t eat anything that Su Li brought either.”

—But I really want to eat!

—No, you don’t want to eat!

This time, even if he were dull, he understood why Luo Sang was angry.

“You don’t like Su Li?”

With a cold snort, Luo Sang didn’t respond.

—I don’t like every human and orc who approaches you.

“I brought Su Li back just because he can grow vegetables. I want everyone in the tribe to have enough to eat so that we never have to go hungry again.” As he spoke, Fei Li’s emotions grew more agitated.

—I’m solely thinking about the tribe, and you still misunderstand me.

The baby’s heart is troubled, but the baby insists on speaking.

Luo Sang: “I don’t want him to grow vegetables, I can learn to grow them myself.”

—It’s not worth losing a partner over a few vegetables.

“You don’t even know how to transplant rice seedlings, don’t even think about growing vegetables.”

“I’m thinking about the tribe, so stop overthinking it, okay?”

Seeing that Luo Sang was silent, he became a bit angry again and sat down holding the chilled green melon, eating by himself. The two sat back to back, with neither showing any intention of addressing the other.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside.

Aola rushed over and stopped at the door, saying urgently, “Not good! It seems someone has stolen the rice.”

What?

Fei Li and Luo Sang stood up simultaneously, both hurrying towards Aola.

“What happened?” Fei Li asked impatiently.

He had worked hard to grow that rice, and now someone was eyeing it? He had no appetite for the chilled green melon anymore.

Aola explained for a long time, but Fei Li became increasingly confused.

Without thinking much about it, Fei Li headed straight to the fields.

The three of them stood on the ridge, looking at the rice that had mostly turned yellow. Luo Sang frowned.

“The rice is still here, right?” After looking around several times, Luo Sang didn’t find any signs of theft.

Fei Li also found it strange.

Aola pointed at the rice in the inner area, saying, “Look, the rice inside is all gone, only some empty husks are left.”

Following Aola’s finger, the two looked towards the area where the sun rose, and indeed found many empty husks.

“How dare they steal on my territory? I won’t let this person go easily.” Luo Sang clenched his fists.

After inspecting the empty husks, Fei Li smiled.

The two looked at Fei Li in confusion, and Aola couldn’t help but ask first, “What are you laughing at? The rice has been stolen, and you can still smile?”

“Can’t you see what kind of thing stole it?” Fei Li said with a grin.

Luo Sang frowned tightly, remaining silent.

“Of course, it must be other tribe’s orcs or humans, right?”

Aola really couldn’t think of anyone else who could steal the rice besides humans and orcs.

Fei Li picked up a rice husk from the ground and pointed to some unnoticeable bird shit in the corner, “What do you see here?”

“Bird shits!”

The two suddenly realized that it was the birds that were eating the rice.

There wasn’t much rice in the fields to begin with, and now the birds were coming to steal it.

It seemed that before they could harvest the rice, it would end up in the birds’ stomachs.

Thinking about this made Aola anxious, “What should we do? If it were humans stealing it, we could catch them, but with so many birds, how can we catch them?”

Aola had quite a deep connection with the rice fields.

At first, he didn’t want to plant rice with Fei Li and had even sabotaged the rice plants.

But later, after being falsely accused and having his rice damaged, Fei Li surprisingly believed him.

From that moment on, he began to pay attention to the rice fields, not wanting to take the blame anymore.

Seeing Fei Li’s calm demeanor, Luo Sang knew he must have a plan.

Fei Li gave the two a mysterious smile and then crafted a scarecrow from straw.

“What is that?” Aola looked at the scarecrow in confusion.

Ignoring Aola’s question, Fei Li cut down a tree trunk about the thickness of his arm and tied the scarecrow to it, then placed it in the rice field.

Once he was done, he clapped his hands and walked towards the two, “All set! The birds won’t dare to come steal the rice anymore.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he started heading back to the tribe.

Luo Sang stared at the scarecrow for a long time before he went after Fei Li.

Only Aola remained standing there, staring blankly at the scarecrow.

Just as he was about to leave, a flock of chirping birds suddenly flew towards the rice field, looking as if they were about to “steal” the rice again.

Aola rushed forward anxiously, but before he could chase the birds away, he noticed they had already flown off.

Hmm?

These little thieving birds actually flew away obediently?

Looking closely, he discovered the secret: the scarecrow in the rice field had scared the birds away.

He finally understood Fei Li’s intention and couldn’t help but admire his cleverness.

Seeing that the birds no longer dared to return, he felt relieved and returned to the tribe.

When he got home, Wuze happened to be standing at his doorstep.

Seeing him, Wuze frowned, “Where have you been?”

“I was at the rice field. I didn’t know you were coming to fix the roof, sorry to have kept you waiting.”

“Since you know you kept me waiting, hurry up and come help.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wuze climbed onto the roof and began the repair work.

Aola stood there in a daze.

—So you’re a nimble orc, while I’m just an ordinary person, how am I supposed to climb onto the roof?

Finding a stone to stand on, Aola reached up to grab the wooden beams of the roof, trying to climb up.

“How long are you going to dawdle? Why aren’t you coming to help? Humans are so lazy,” Wuze’s complaints and footsteps drew closer.

Aola awkwardly looked up at him, “Um… I’m not really good at climbing roofs. Can you—” Before he could finish, Wuze’s hand reached out to him.

Staring blankly at Wuze’s large hand, he was slow to respond.

“Hurry up.” Wuze sounded a bit impatient.

Pouting, he took Wuze’s hand and let him pull him up onto the roof.

“Bang—” Aola came to his senses, realizing he was already on the roof. Not only that, but he was also on top of a soft flesh pad.

Looking down, he saw Wuze scowling, pinned beneath him.

Uh? This is so awkward!

“When are you planning to get up?” Wuze’s cold voice rang in his ears.
