342: Chapter 18 Has Yun Tiankai really taken a liking to this orc?
Looking at the three neatly written characters from Tang Longyan, Yun Tiankai's hand trembled: !!!
This Beast World actually already had a writing system!
Then what was she doing just now, showing off in front of an expert?
"You... you actually know how to write?" she said in shock.
Tang Longyan answered indifferently: "Not much."
"Since when did you all start having a writing system?" she pressed.
Tang Longyan thought for a moment, his tone carrying a hint of pride: "It has existed since I was born. It is—"
Stopping himself, he changed his words: "Legend has it that it was created by the Beast God."
If he told her that his father was the current Beast God, and his mother had created this world's writing system, she might feel pressured.
Yun Tiankai: ...
Yun Tiankai fell silent.
A moment later, she seemed to have thought of something and slowly looked up to ask him: "So you also knew how to use chopsticks from the very beginning, right?"
Tang Longyan nodded.
"What about the scrambled eggs with tomatoes and stir-fried potatoes with meat?"
"I've eaten them."
Tang Longyan saw that Yun Tiankai's expression looked as if she were about to cry.
So, he kindly added: "But the ones you made are the most delicious ones I've ever eaten."
Yun Tiankai: ...
"Then can you tell me about the Beast Kingdom?"
She had heard from Bao Yang and the others that the Beast Kingdom was the most advanced place in the current Beast World, and Tang Longyan also came from there.
Tang Longyan sat down on the ground, and Yun Tiankai sat down beside him.
He gazed into the distance and began to talk about the place that gave birth to him and raised him.
He spoke very seriously, as if he really wanted her to understand that place, and even wanted to take her to see it.
After a long while, Tang Longyan looked at Yun Tiankai: "The Beast Kingdom has many interesting things; it might be impossible to explain everything to you in a short time.
What about you?
Can you tell me about the White Fox Tribe?"
He hadn't forgotten that he needed to report the development status of the White Fox Tribe to his Fourth Father.
However, Yun Tiankai, who was lost in thought, just glanced at him quickly.
Then she stammered: "I... I don't remember, I have amnesia."
Tang Longyan narrowed his eyes slightly.
He wasn't sure if she was lying.
Perhaps she just didn't want to recall the past; after all, what kind of good past could a Female Beastman thrown onto the Barren Continent have?
Moreover, she didn't know his identity, so it probably wasn't a deliberate concealment.
Tang Longyan stood up: "Alright, then if you ever remember and want to tell me, you can let me know."
He looked down at Yun Tiankai and happened to meet her somewhat dazed gaze.
Yun Tiankai was indeed very dazed at this moment.
Other transmigrators would make fire and cook—the beastmen would think it was amazing!
Making their own pots and pans—the beastmen would think it was amazing!
Exchanging goods—the beastmen would think it was amazing!
But as for her, the transmigrator, the world she transmigrated to already had everything.
Perhaps she was destined not to achieve anything in this world.
Then she would just live happily!
Yun Tiankai immediately got over it, patted her bottom, and stood up from the ground.
"I troubled you to bring me out today because I actually wanted to find someone."
"Who?"
"She Lin."
About half an hour later, Tang Longyan threw a tall, pale-skinned Male Beastman in front of Yun Tiankai.
She Lin stumbled as he climbed up from the ground.
Tang Longyan stood behind him with his arms crossed.
In an instant, it made She Lin look exceptionally frail in comparison.
Yun Tiankai couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Tang Longyan's physique is truly great!
"Come here with me for a moment." Yun Tiankai waved at She Lin.
She didn't know if Tang Longyan should hear what Zhu Zhu had asked her to tell She Lin, so it was better to do it behind his back.
She Lin followed Yun Tiankai toward a small woods in the distance.
Just as the two were about to step into the woods—
"Ahem!"
Suddenly, a cough came from behind.
She Lin shuddered in fear and stopped abruptly.
Yun Tiankai looked toward Tang Longyan and saw him with his back turned, as if the cough had been unintentional.
She suddenly remembered what Bao Yang and Auntie Hua had said, that Tang Longyan protected them, the Female Beastmen.
In reality, it was to protect the "productivity" for the future development of the Barren Continent.
So naturally, he wouldn't let her leave his sight.
Thus, Yun Tiankai abandoned the idea of going into the woods and started speaking to She Lin in a low voice beside the woods.
Tang Longyan's hearing was excellent; at this distance, he should have been able to hear what they were saying.
But out of respect, he didn't listen.
After a while, he suddenly heard She Lin's shocked voice: "That's what she said?"
Yun Tiankai looked at the flustered She Lin, appearing exceptionally calm.
She nodded: "Yes, what do you think?"
Tang Longyan unconsciously opened up his hearing.
"I... I..." She Lin retreated nervously.
Yun Tiankai stepped forward and pressed: "Think it over carefully; opportunities like this don't come often."
Tang Longyan: What opportunity?
Was it the opportunity he heard about, where Zhu Zhu wanted to give She Lin to Yun Tiankai to be her Beast Husband?
Yun Tiankai: "I see you are so thin; you must not be living very well on the Barren Continent, right?
If you follow me and live near the gathering place... prey can be easily caught there.
Even—Lord Longyan can protect you."
Tang Longyan clenched his fists: When did he ever say he would protect him?
They were indeed discussing the matter of taking She Lin as her Beast Husband.
Didn't she say yesterday that she didn't need a Beast Husband anymore?
Tang Longyan felt as if a fire had ignited in his heart, burning his insides so painfully.
His clenched fists trembled slightly.
But he also understood very clearly that it was her freedom to choose whoever she wanted as a Beast Husband; he had no right to interfere.
He couldn't even be with her.
So, what was the point of this anger in his heart?
But staring at She Lin's troubled expression, Tang Longyan still wanted to give him a hard punch.
"I don't agree!" Suddenly, She Lin's firm voice came through.
"It's true that I'm not living well right now, and I'm at risk of starving to death at any time.
Zhu Zhu's other Beast Husbands exclude me...
Before, when Zhu Zhu was around, because we were a family, they wouldn't snatch my prey.
Now that everyone has separated, they are trying every means to starve me to death.
But even so—"
She Lin looked at Yun Tiankai firmly, as if he had made some kind of resolution: "I still won't betray Zhu Zhu!
I only have this one Mistress in my life!"
Hearing him say this, Tang Longyan felt inexplicably relieved.
Yun Tiankai stared at She Lin's cyan-blue eyes, her gaze wavering slightly.
A few seconds later, she said: "Alright, if you change your mind, come find me at the gathering place tonight.
Do not let down Zhu Zhu—'s expectations."
She Lin: ?
Without waiting for She Lin to speak again, Yun Tiankai ran towards Tang Longyan.
Tang Longyan: ...
What does that mean?
Did Yun Tiankai really take a fancy to this beastman?
He pricked up his ears, but only heard the sound of Yun Tiankai walking towards him.
"Lord Longyan, let's go back."
Late at night.
Tang Longyan tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
He walked out of the cave and looked toward the gathering place.
Sure enough, he saw a snow-white, tall figure sneaking out of a room.
At the same time, outside the gathering place, She Lin appeared.
