| GB | Be My Orc Mate? | 126 | Ex. 2
Man's voice was neither loud nor soft, and Yu Bai and Huo Duo'er on the stage heard it clearly.
Yu Bai held a pig hair brush, applying the marinade to the roasted meat. He wasn't fond of greasy meat, so he cut less than a fifth of it and placed it in the bowl in front of him, pushing the rest of the plate towards Huo Duo'er.
Huo Duo'er used a stone knife to peel the fruit, cut the flesh into chunks, and arranged them beside him.
They exchanged a knowing glance. Yu Bai recalled the teasing he had received from Man in the past and suddenly curled his lips, his eyes flashing with a hint of mischief as he smiled at Huo Duo'er.
He looked in Ze's direction, his voice gentle and clear.
"Leader Ze has long reached the age suitable for marriage. He's handsome, with a good personality. If he could settle down, that would be truly wonderful."
Upon hearing this, Man, who had been sitting slouched, immediately straightened up, his gaze suspiciously darting between Yu Bai and Huo Duo'er.
What's going on? Why is the usually gentle little priest suddenly acting like this? Big Huo, aren't you going to do something about it?
Huo Duo'er's expression remained unchanged as he continued to peel and cut the fruit in his hands. When his orc mate ate, he had to keep an eye on him to prevent him from eating too much due to being greedy.
As soon as Yu Bai finished speaking, several gazes immediately became more pronounced.
With the priest's words, the single female orcs and sub-female orcs felt their hearts flutter, their courage instantly bolstered, and their gazes, both overt and covert, were directed straight at Ze.
Some female orcs who had recently joined the tribe couldn't discern the complex relationships.
A female orc took a deep breath, picked up a plate of roasted meat, and walked over to Ze. Not daring to look at his handsome and profound face, she lowered her head, her voice soft, her eyelashes fluttering incessantly.
"Leader Ze, I... I want to form a bond with you. Would you accept me?"
In the orc world, males outnumbered females. Even in Fantasy tribe, the ratio of single male orcs to female orcs was nearly three to one.
Female orcs were not short of pursuing males, but exceptionally powerful male orcs also didn't lack the favor of female orcs.
As Yu Bai had said, Ze, being a single male orc with excellent conditions in the tribe, coupled with his witty personality and skillful means, even compared to the most powerful chief, female orcs were more willing to pursue a mate like Ze.
With the first female orc taking the initiative, how could the others sit still? If they waited any longer, they feared Leader Ze might be snatched away.
They stood up one after another, expressing their feelings either boldly or shyly.
Single orcs had the right to pursue and be pursued. Openly expressing their feelings and even competing openly for them was not shameful.
Man's gaze shifted, and he changed his usual bold and wild demeanor, his lips curling slightly as he tapped his fingers on the table a few times. "Ze, are you going to choose one?"
The female orc standing in front of Ze, bravely expressing her feelings, felt her scalp tighten. Huh, what did Leader Man mean by that? His words, though seemingly plain, suddenly increased the pressure on her...
Ze smiled at the female orc and declined her pursuit.
Of course, even in rejection, Ze wouldn't let the female orc feel embarrassed. When she left, she actually thought it was because she wasn't good enough and not worthy of a male orc like Leader Ze. Ah, what a pity!
After Ze rejected the first one, rejecting the rest became even easier.
He drained the cup of rice wine and smiled at Man.
"Do you have a female orc that you like?"
Man shook his head without hesitation.
Ze: "Is that so..."
Man waved his hand: "It’s boring."
He wasn't lying. A few years ago, after a female orc from another tribe fainted from fright upon seeing him, he lost interest in such matters.
When his emotions occasionally stirred, rather than thinking about those delicate orcs, he preferred to drink with Ze or have a fight. After the fight, all the energy and anger in his body dissipated, leaving him feeling comfortable and refreshed.
As for other orcs... Man immediately dismissed the thought. He wouldn't seek out female orcs or sub-female orcs, and as for his own tribesmen...
He glanced at A’Liao, who was drinking foolishly beside him, taking in his solid muscles and body hair... He couldn't help but feel a chill, and all his hairs stood on end.
Compared to Ze... he was far inferior...
Although Ze and Man, the two leaders, had no intention of forming a bond for the time being, it didn't dampen the enthusiasm of the other male orcs.
Single male orcs sent out signals of pursuit to the single female orcs in the arena. When several pursued one, they would compete directly on the sandy ground in the center of the square. The winner of the fight could approach the female orc to court and express his love.
The bright firelight, intense emotions, the rich aroma of roasted meat and wine, the rising and falling shouts and cheers, the sweat and roars, all stimulated the atmosphere of the scene.
Yu Bai's left hand was always held by Huo Duo'er and placed on his lap, his palm gradually became damp. He looked towards the area behind Man and saw that the orcs of the Giant Tribe had not made any moves, which made him somewhat worried and nervous.
Huo Duo'er: "Bai, what's wrong?"
Yu Bai whispered, leaning close to his ear: "Why aren't the other Giant Tribe orcs taking any action?"
He had formed a bond with Huo Duo'er and had lived together for several years, so his heart naturally leaned more towards his partner's tribe.
Could it be because of the incident years ago when Man frightened a female orc into fainting?
But the orcs of Fantasy tribe had been living together for over a year now. The Giant Tribe might look intimidating and their size might be imposing, but they were all kind-hearted and worthy partners.
Yu Bai sighed softly. No matter how anxious he was now, he couldn't force the orcs to get along with the Giant Tribe.
At the height of the atmosphere, a dozen or so female orcs from the Mountain Lynx Tribe stood up from the crowd.
They had deliberately washed their hair and bathed before coming, and had tied up their hair to reveal their features and faces.
The orcs were puzzled, but they saw this group of Mountain Lynx female orcs, look as though they had made up their minds, walk towards the seats of the Giant Tribe, each with their own target, approaching the male orcs of the Giant Tribe they had their eyes on.
A’Liao was dazed, drunk, his dark face flushed red, and the totem on his neck was splashed with some wine.
He saw his hand being gently held by such a small female orc, who looked up at him and asked, "Would you be my orc mate?"
The Mountain Lynx Tribe, who had been enslaved in the Huangyuan Tribe, were mostly rescued by the Giant Tribe. At the moment of their rescue, many orcs regarded the Giant Tribe as their heroes.
At first, they didn't have these thoughts. After all, powerful male orcs were quite popular, but... tonight seemed like an opportunity...
A’Liao was in a daze, his gaze shifting to Man and then to Big Huo on the stage.
The female orc asked again, and only then did A’Liao snap out of his trance.
"I... I am willing..."
He didn't dare to breathe too loudly, carefully holding the small, rough hand in his palm. It was tiny, just like the female orc herself, and he was afraid of scaring her away.
A’Liao silently scolded himself: I shouldn't have drunk so much. Do I look like a fool right now?
As for the other male orcs of the giant tribe, their reactions were similar to A’Liao's. They were stunned by the sudden surprise, acting like big, clumsy oafs.
Someone approached Xiu with goodwill, and Xiu smiled politely: "I'm sorry."
The female orc who was rejected wasn't upset. Like Xiu, there was another male orc from the giant tribe sitting at the very end, who had a low profile like a shadow, also rejected the female orc's advances.
Man clapped his hands together and laughed: "Great, great, Ze, look, our tribe members have finally found their own homes."
Ze raised an eyebrow: "Who's your tribe member?"
Man let out a "heh," feeling that Ze was acting a bit off tonight.
While the giant tribe was lively, the mountain lynx tribe was also bustling. After all, they were the orc tribe with the most single female orcs, and many male orcs were eager to express their feelings.
Da He sat quietly in her seat, rejecting the orcs who approached her with goodwill.
Her eyelashes lowered as she watched her joyful tribe members. While she felt happy for them, a hint of sadness also flashed in her eyes.
