Traveling through the world of beasts: She came from a female superior

The weather is getting warmer, the snow in the forest is getting less and less, and the sound of ice cracking can often be heard from the distant glaciers.

Spring is getting closer.

After the snow melted and the ground was exposed, some buried plant seeds were also exposed. Ye Xing instructed Lu San to arrange people to search the forest for all usable seeds, no matter whether they could be planted or not, they had to be brought back first.

Hu Mian was obviously better at this. He knew better than anyone what was edible and what was poisonous in this forest.

But there is an easier way.

"Go dig out the holes of squirrels and rabbits! These little animals love to store food for the winter. We can also eat their favorite foods, and they taste really good!"

This idea is novel, but I have to admit that it is indeed faster than manual search.

Lu San and the others were surprised that Hu Mian had learned to think now, even though he had always been a lazy and disloyal kid.

Ye Xing didn't think so. Hu Mian seemed to know nothing, purely because he had never seen it before. His learning ability was always the best among all people. As long as he wanted to learn, he could learn anything.

So far, Hu Mian's fighting power is second only to Ye Xing. Adults like Bao Mi and Hu Qing are no match for him at all.

He is just too naive, but he still has a good brain!

"We've discovered it a long time ago. Tiger cotton is the smartest!" Lu Simei praised him while working. Then she thought of something and sighed, "It's just that he's not very tall. Why does he look like he hasn't grown much? Alas!"

Before he could finish his words, Lu San hit him on the arm. Everyone knows that Hu Mian hates being called short. Didn’t you see that his eyes widened again?

The women smiled implicitly with their heads down and said nothing. They exchanged glances with each other and stopped teasing him.

Hu Mian was just about to come over to steal some nuts to eat, but he didn't expect to hear these words as soon as he arrived. He was so angry that he put his hands on his hips.

But he couldn't do anything about them. He could beat Bao Mi and the others but he was unwilling to fight with women.

He was so angry that he didn't know how to vent. Ye Xing came up from behind, grabbed Hu Mian's armpits with both hands, lifted him up, and shook him up, then said with a smile: "Didn't you grow taller? It's okay, our Hu Mian has gained weight!"

The people around couldn't help but burst into laughter, which made Hu Mian hate him even more.

He pushed his legs down as hard as he could but couldn't reach the ground, and his face turned red with anger.

"Put me down! I'm getting mad!" he yelled.

Ye Xing let him go with a "yo" and flicked his nose, then bent over and continued teasing: "You'll never grow taller if you're always angry!"

Hu Mian tried hard to straighten his body, just enough to reach the tip of Ye Xing's nose. He was obviously not convinced: "I will be an adult next year, I am not a child!"

"Look at me, look, have I grown taller?"

Hu Mian moved closer as he spoke, sticking close to Ye Xing and asking, insisting that she give a good answer.

“Alright, alright!” Ye Xing’s nose was tickled by its curly fur. Knowing that he shouldn’t irritate it too much, he quickly said to comfort it: “I’m just teasing you! You’ve grown taller! You’ve become a big kid now!”

"They're not children! They're adults who are about to grow up!" Hu Mian was extremely serious.

"Okay, okay, okay...come of age!"

Ye Xing was very perfunctory. She sometimes felt that Hu Mian was terribly persistent in this regard. He was fine in front of others, but he had to act like an adult in front of Ye Xing. His behavior was so childish and ridiculous that she often felt helpless.

"Humian, come here. This fruit is delicious. Come here!" Sheyu came over with a big basket and greeted him.

Of course Humian wanted to stick to Ye Xing, but he couldn't resist the temptation of Walnut. Thinking that she was making fun of him just now, he turned around and chose Walnut decisively.

Ye Xing found it funny, but after thinking about it, he decided not to follow.

Sheyu led Humian to the open space behind the house, then pulled him to sit down, looking at him seriously, as if he had something to say.

Humian took nuts from the basket without hesitation and ate them. If he saw any particularly good ones, he would pick them out and put them aside.

She Yu knew without guessing that these must be left for Ye Xing.

She treated Humian as her own child, and seeing him like this, she was really worried.

"Tiger Cotton! You will grow up next year and become an adult orc!"

"Huh? He's a grown man!" Hu Mian corrected while eating.

She Yu did not argue with him and continued to ask: "So you know what to do after you become an adult, right?"

"Of course! Sheyu, what exactly do you want to say?" Hu Mian asked, looking up.

"Well... I'll be frank with you! Hu Mian, Ye Xing is an adult female... woman, and you're about to become an adult man. You can't cuddle with her like a child anymore. That's not good!"

She Yu was afraid that Hu Mian didn't understand, so she simply said without beating around the bush: "Ye Xing is very busy every day, you can't always let her take care of you."

Hu Mian was bending down to break open a large pine cone. Hearing this, he suddenly paused, his eyes flashed for a barely noticeable moment, and then he curled the corners of his lips and smiled.

He said, "Snake Rain, Ye Xing is mine and I am Ye Xing's. We will take care of each other!"

This is exactly what She Yu is most worried about. This silly child has always thought so, but His Highness Ye Xing doesn't think so!

"Hu Mian, didn't you learn something new? You don't belong to anyone else, so you can't talk like that. Look, Ye Xing never says that, doesn't it mean that she thinks differently from you?"

"Then what did she tell you? Did she say she doesn't like me?" There seemed to be a hint of cunning in Hu Mian's eyes, which She Yu was a little confused about.

"Ye Xing, didn't say that."

"Snake Rain, I know you all treat me like a child, but I actually understand that I am being childish on purpose, do you know that?"

Hu Mian raised his eyebrows, and for the first time, his childish face showed the look of an adult.

Sheyu was stunned and suddenly couldn't understand Humian. What did he mean?

"But actually, I don't care about this at all. Do you know why?" Hu Mian successfully scared Snake Rain, and continued to crack nuts with pride.

"Why?" Sheyu asked.

"Why? Of course it's because..."

Hu Mian sat up straight, pinching the nut kernel between his fingers, and said, as if answering She Yu or speaking to someone in the void, "Because Ye Xing likes it!"

"She likes children, so I will always be her child. When she likes adults, I will grow up!"

"I've understood it a long time ago. Are you trying to persuade me to change a woman? Impossible. I only like Ye Xing and I will never change!"

"Not only that, I also know... Bao Mi and Hu Qing also like Ye Xing, but do you know why only I can be with Ye Xing? I can even be sure that even if more men like her in the future, she will only stand by me!"

"...Why, why?" Hu Mian's personality suddenly changed, and She Yu was really unable to react.

"Because I am the only one who dares to stick to her! I am the only one who will stick to her forever!" Hu Mian spoke each word with a childish and serious expression.

"You? Humian...!" Sheyu was really scared. She realized that the child in front of her seemed to be no longer the "child" they thought.

No wonder, no wonder only the women like them pampered Humian and took care of him like a cub, while the men like Baomi and Huqing kept their distance from Humian. Even Yingyu, who talked the most, had a strange look in his eyes when he saw Humian.

Should we say that this is a special sense of territoriality among adult orcs?

But, Hu Mian is really like this, Ye Xing, does she know?

After Hu Mian finished speaking a long paragraph, he didn't care that She Yuli didn't understand. He sat down cross-legged and continued to crack nuts.

Her long eyelashes drooped down, forming two small curved fans, which at this moment, for some reason, trembled like butterfly wings, obscuring the light in her pupils.

She Yu was dazed, full of doubts and didn't know what to do. She didn't realize that Hu Mian was actually nervous.

On a broad-leaved tree not far away, Ye Xing frowned slightly.

She had noticed that She Yu wanted to say something to Hu Mian, so she followed him secretly out of curiosity.

Unexpectedly, she saw such a surprising scene.

That little brat Humian had actually been playing dumb with her?
