Chapter 7 Heartbeat
The next morning, Wang Duoduo's voice rang out from outside the wall.
"Weiwei, Weiwei, the clan leader has told us to go to the square."
Lin Weiwei hurriedly got up and saw roasted meat on the stone table, and the stone fruit soup was also ready. The soup was still steaming, so Zexuan must have just cooked it recently.
"Come in, Duoduo, we'll go together in a bit."
Wang Duoduo was delighted when Lin Weiwei invited her into the cave. They usually only talked outside the walls. Actually, Lin Weiwei didn't like anyone entering her cave except her family. Seeing Wang Duoduo's loyalty, she decided to befriend her; otherwise, she'd be lonely without any friends in the beast world.
"Weiwei, you're so beautiful! You're getting more and more beautiful!"
"What do you mean I'm getting more and more beautiful? I've always been beautiful."
"Yes, yes, our Weiwei is beautiful."
"Here's a bowl of soup for you. After you drink it, we'll go to the square."
At this moment, the Beast Mother, Third Father, Fourth Father, and the eldest and second elder brothers also arrived.
"Mother, what brings you here? Would you like some stone fruit soup? I'll give each of you a bowl."
"No need, we've all eaten and come over. The clan chief asked you to teach them how to make soup. You taught Zexuan how to make soup yesterday, and your father and brothers all know how. Just tell them to do it later."
"Understood, Mother."
If you asked Lin Weiwei to cook soup, she wouldn't know how; she couldn't even start a fire, let alone cook anything.
"Alright, let's go! Is Duoduo full?"
"I'm full, I'm full."
Wang Duoduo put the last piece of meat into his mouth.
In the square, the clan chief, Ze Xuan, and Ze Hao arranged ten stoves. There were stone pots, water, a large pile of stone fruits, and a heap of meat.
Some sharp-eyed people spotted Lin Weiwei and her group arriving.
"Chieftain, Vivi is here! Vivi is here!"
The orcs quickly made way for them.
Her long, golden hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, gently brushing against her fair skin. Her face was beautiful, and her eyes were clear, radiating intelligence and spirit.
Her steps were light, as if she were walking on clouds, revealing an elegant and mysterious temperament.
Her appearance was like a beautiful sight, attracting the attention of the surrounding orcs. Behind her were four tall male orcs, as if a goddess had descended to earth to save their tribe.
Zehao's heart was pounding so hard he felt like his whole body was frozen, and he felt like his soul was about to leave his body. He finally understood what a racing heart meant, and what it meant to like someone.
When Zexuan saw his female approaching, he quickly went to Lin Weiwei's side, his expression like a peacock spreading its tail, proudly swishing it back and forth.
Yes, Zexuan happily showed his tail.
The orcs cried out, "Goddess! Goddess! She's a goddess sent down by the Beast God!"
"Wei, come here quickly."
The clan leader raised both hands high
"Quiet down, listen to me. This stone fruit was discovered by Wei Ya. Not only can it be roasted and eaten, but it can also be used to make meat soup. We can also grow it, so we won't be afraid of going hungry or starving to death when the cold season comes."
"This is the Beast God's instruction. If I know of anyone who leaks this information, they will be punished by the Beast God."
The punishment was imprisonment in a cave; the lightest punishment was starvation for two or three days, the heaviest was starving to death. Orcs were terrified of hunger and generally obeyed their chieftain; without punishment, the tribe would descend into chaos.
The clan leader's authority instilled fear in everyone, and they also deeply believed in the Beast God.
As soon as the clan leader finished speaking, everyone knelt down in worship!
"Thank you, Beast God! Thank you for your guidance, Beast God!"
The clan chief nodded in satisfaction.
"Each family should send one person to follow Wei's instructions,"
Lin Weiwei looked at the things on the ground and said to the clan chief.
"Father, what about processing the game bones?"
"Wei'er! Those bones aren't tasty, we won't eat them. If there's not enough meat, I'll give you half of what's left."
After the clan leader finished speaking, he glared at Ze Xuan, who was standing to the side.
“Father, you’ve misunderstood. The soup is more fragrant and delicious when the bones, meat, and stone fruit are cooked together.”
"I see. It's Father's fault. Then when the hunting party returns today, we'll save the bones and distribute them to everyone."
Lin Weiwei nodded and directed everyone to cut the stone fruit and meat into chunks, put them in a pot, add water, and then add some salt.
Lin Weiwei said to the clan chief
“Father, eating some salt is good not only for females, but also for male beastmen. We can exchange for more salt next time we go to the market.”
The clan chief nodded.
Soon, a rich aroma wafted from the stone pot.
The orcs exclaimed, "It smells so good!"
Some people went to pick leaves from the big trees, while others wanted to put their hands into the pot.
"Wait a minute, everyone wait a minute. Zexuan, go back and get the wooden bowls, chopsticks, basin, and spoons."
Lin Weiwei spoke up, and everyone stopped what they were doing.
When Zexuan brought the bowls and chopsticks, everyone was very curious. At this time, the eldest and second eldest brothers stepped forward to explain how to make and use them.
"If you don't have bowls, go pick some big tree leaves and line up. Make ten lines, one for each stone pot. Each person can take a little to try."
Under Lin Weiwei's command, the male orcs moved in an orderly and lively manner. Each person received a small portion of delicious meat soup, their faces beaming with satisfied smiles.
After finishing the soup, some of the orcs began to help clean up.
"Wei'er, I've chosen the plot of land you mentioned for planting. Father will take you to see it."
The clan leader, Ze Xuan, Ze Hao, and Lin Weiwei's entire family walked towards the open space.
"Wei, what do you think of this open space?"
Lin Weiwei nodded as she looked at the large empty space.
"Father, choose twenty low-ranking, honest, obedient, and trustworthy individuals to loosen the soil in this open space. Also, put the stone fruit into the cave, spray some water on it, and let it sprout. Once it sprouts, cut it into pieces and plant it."
The clan chief nodded excitedly.
Lin Weiwei then remembered that the potatoes in her space had sprouted, and she planned to take Zexuan into the space tonight to plant potatoes.
That way, he'll have experience too, and he can come over and arrange work when the stone fruit is planted outside.
Just then, Zexuan walked over and handed Lin Weiwei a bouquet of flowers, his eyes full of affection.
Lin Weiwei accepted the flowers, a blush rising to her cheeks. She knew then that in this beast world, she had fallen in love with this beastman.
