A small bowl of cakes was eaten up before long. Ai Guo sucked with his fingers, turned his head to look at the handsome female and said: “Brother Ah Ce, finished...”
Su Ce reached out and touched his head: “...Mmm.”
Ai Guo blinked: “That...can I learn to make a stone mill?”
Su Ce nodded: “Let Tan Tu make one for you.” It wasn’t that laborious task for Tan Tu.
Ai Guo jumped up and hugged Su Ce’s waist, “I knew Brother Ah Ce is the best!”
Ai Mi bended the corners of his mouth, revealing two round dimples on his cheek.
Mo La smilingly said: “I’ll go and see how Tan Tu does it. When I get back, I’ll ask someone to help me do the same.”
You know, orcs are very territorial, even females. If Tan Tu isn’t married, then Mo La will certainly ask Tan Tu for help. But since Tan Tu is married, as a female, he should not make such provocative move. He is different from Ai Guo and Ai Mi who are cubs—everyone in the tribe has the responsibility to protect the cubs.
After Su Ce’s voice fell behind, Tan Tu put down his work and went to get two more rocks. Because he had his first practice, it’s much smoother to make this time. Within half an hour, a brand-new graphite has been finished. Ai Guo and Ai Mi turned around the graphite hand in hand, their faces were full amazing expressions: “How awesome...”
Tan Tu received a nod of approval from Su Ce. He smirked and continued to grind millets.
Although Tan Tu’s movements were so fast, Mo La saw the process clearly and sat down on the wooden stool beside him with satisfaction. At the same time, Su Ce came into the house and brought out a few glasses of juice which were squeezed out of the fruits picked up during Tan Tu’s hunting then sealed with a wooden tube and put them into the water. Pure natural and very tasty.
Mo La and the twins took a sip. It was refreshing and cool. He breathed a sigh of relief and got down to business today.
Mo La mysteriously asked: “Ah Ce, do you have any plans for the fire dance festival?”
Su Ce curiously asked: “...plan?”
The twins smiled at each other without injecting.
Su Ce didn’t notice that Tan Tu, who was pulling the mill over there became stiff. Even the speed of pulling the mill slowed down, his ears stood upright listening to the conversation.
Mo La slapped his forehead: “Ah, by the way Ah Ce, haven’t you heard of Rui Ensi?”
Su Ce shook his head.
Mo La’s eyes showed a longing gaze and in that ethereal tone, she said: “Rui Ensi is the patron saint of all our females~”
...It’s strange that the patron saint or something is put on a female.
Because he didn’t know the situation, Su Ce kept quiet and listened. When Mo La’s tail tone dropped completely, he called out directly and asked: “Rui Ensi...I don’t think I’ve seen him?”
Mo La nodded and said: “Rui Ensi is not from the Tiger tribe, he belongs to the Maya tribe.”
Su Ce knew what the Maya tribe was.
Contrary to the Tiger tribe, the Maya tribe mostly consists of females. It’s strange that for every five pregnancies they give birth to only one or two males and the rest are females. Females there are also healthy and have a very high survival rate.
However, because there are fewer males and more females, many females became partners with foreign males then went to the male’s tribe to start families. Even so, the females still account 4/5 which is quite amazing.
Honestly, one of the big reasons why the fire dance festival is held every year is—to let the Maya females come to pick and be picked—after all, other tribes are in the opposite state of more males than females.
However, the Maya tribe itself are very united because the males strength isn’t enough. Therefore, the females in the tribe are all trap masters to protect themselves and resist the attacks of wild animals. By the time of the fire dance festival, half of the males in the tribe will come out to escort adult females to the holding tribe for a...blind date.
And this Rui Ensi is a member of the Maya tribe.
If he was just an ordinary female, he will certainly not be mentioned by Mo La in such an adoring tone and also showed a look of desperation. In fact, he was the most powerful female in the world—even the most powerful orc.
Rui Ensi has no less power than a male since he was born. Apart from the lack of animal shape which limits his female identity, he is better than all the Maya tribe in individual combat capability.
Even when the male changes to a beast, he is also an absolute winner—
In particular, he is very protective.
The range of protections includes not only the females of the Maya tribe but also all females of the entire Kanda continent.
In particular, Rui Ensi is very gentle—only when facing females. When he faces males, he becomes more aggressive.
Yes, violent.
Rui Ensi is a fighting freak and hopeless protector of female rights.
Since Rui Ensi’s came of age, this annual fire dance festival, he will follow the tribe to other tribes to check whether the females are happy. If it makes him feel dissatisfied or the female of any family happens to have an awkward relationship with his partner, he will complain.
He will gladly fight with the male.
Are they all orcs? Then use your fist to talk and use force to solve the problem!
Regardless of the established bottom line among orcs is not to bully females, but there is never a rule telling males what to do when confronted with challenges from females.
Not to mention how the inner battle between man and nature is, the males struggle with the usual notion of ‘caring for females’ and the beastly nature of ‘killing provocations’... Most of all, they can’t beat Rui Ensi at all!
Mo La made the balance in one sentence. He almost held his face and said: “Rui Ensi...he is the best!” He turned to look at Su Ce, “Ah ce, you will surely like him. All females like him!”
Su Ce suddenly wanted to laugh.
People like this are known as ‘chick magnet’ on earth. Of course they can also be called...friends of women? Oh, it should be ‘female friend’ here.
Su Ce then understood why Tan Tu always faltered and hesitated. It’s because of this Rui Ensi.
After so many days together, Su Ce basically knew what kind of guy his partner was. To say that he feared fighting against Rui Ensi was absolutely impossible. He’s probably the first one who doesn’t want to complain to Rui Ensi—it makes him feel that he isn’t good enough himself. Second, he’s jealous.
Who’s male likes to see his partner worship another guy so enthusiastically? Not even a female!
After Mo La left with the twins, it was almost dark. Su Ce walked smilingly to Tan Tu who was silent and still grinding, he tiptoed in his ear and asked: “Tan Tu, can’t you beat that Rui Ensi?”
Tan Tu paused suspiciously, lowered his head and said dejectedly: “...can’t beat.”
In a flash, Su Ce’s curiosity about Rui Ensi reached its peak.
Perhaps Tan Tu discovered Su Ce’s sudden interest in Rui Ensi, in the husband’s activities that night, he was a bit more reckless than in previous days, holding Su Ce for a long time without stopping—in fact, he didn’t usually stop.
But this is a subtle feeling that only Su Ce who rises and falls with Tan Tu knows best. To the extent that he could only hold Tan Tu’s neck and let him bounce back and forth.
Finally, Su Ce couldn’t bear it any more so he stretched out his hand and patted Tan Tu on the back. Tan Tu’s movement’s suddenly slowed down but stopped there. He pushed his head into Su Ce’s neck and rubbed it up and down, tenderly scurrying around.
Su Ce was helpless. He had to move his hand on top of Tan Tu’s head and gently smoothed his hair.
“Okay, don’t make any noise, let’s continue...”
With the permission, Tan Tu was full of horsepower again. This time his eyes was filled with red and can’t hear anything...
In the next few days, Su Ce could almost hear the females talking about Rui Ensi as soon as he walked out of the gate. In the vicinity of those females, he could see few males full of resentment... For a while, the atmosphere in the tribe turned warmer than usual.
This kind of enthusiasm, especially among married females, is the most common.
In fact, they cannot be blamed. After all, the fire dance festival of the previous three years was not held in the Tiger tribe! Only unmarried males and few females with the Patriarch’s permission will go to other tribes. Married males have to stay in the tribe and spend the fire dance festival with the clans men...far from the bustle outside.
In other words, they haven’t seen Rui Ensi for four years.
In the past few days, Tan Tu has been keeping a close eye on Su Ce. Not for monitoring or anything but perhaps a little uneasy? He always kept his eyes on him, with a bit of sorrow.
Su Ce occasionally touched Tan Tu’s hair and let him become a lion to lean on and approach him voluntarily, so as to appease him. At other times, he soaked most of the white radish. When he cooked a few of them the next day, the millet grains were tied tightly with twisted ropes and kept well. He also let Tan Tu go out and exchange bones for many vegetables and came back and soaked... then gradually began to prepare dried meat.
He didn’t really think about anything else.
In the hope of the females, the Maya tribe first came to the Tiger tribe. All the females rushed to the periphery of the tribe and waited separately on both sides of the road until noon when more than one hundred people came gradually from afar. The first one was who they were looking forward to—
The strongest female in history, Rui Ensi.
