Since that day, Ye Xing began to deliberately distance herself from Hu Mian. Although she was a little uncomfortable with the loss of a "little follower", what puzzled her was that Hu Mian did not make a fuss.

...I don't know what crooked ideas he is thinking of...

But Ye Xing didn't intend to continue wasting his time on such things. The weather was getting warmer, and it was time to start preparing for spring plowing.

The indigenous people of the Orc Continent still use slash-and-burn farming. Because they don't know how to tend the crops, the yield is extremely low. The orcs don't value the harvest, and the females can't do it independently. Therefore, growing food, which is a crucial survival skill, has never been taken seriously.

All I can say is that God is fair. Since he gave the orcs strong bodies, he would not give them any extra brains.

Ye Xing looked at the various seeds that were "confiscated" and shook his head and sighed. It was a pity to waste these good things. If he could grow a few of them, he would not starve when winter came.

She summarized all the information she could think of about farming, discussed it with Lu San, She Yu and others, and then improved it so that everyone could understand it.

Then he ordered everyone to start leveling the land and preparing for farming, and to wait until the weather got warmer so they could sow.

Sheyu had a more thorough understanding of the soil, so the farming matters were left to her.

I just didn’t expect that the ideal was so beautiful, but the reality was quite shocking.

Just the task of "leveling the land" made Ye Xing more and more annoyed.

There was no other way. The only tools available were a few bone spears. It was difficult to turn the soil or dig holes, not to mention clearing out the thorny trees with thick roots.

In the end they had to rely on her and Bao Mi and a few others to take turns using their internal energy to "bomb" the enemy. After a few days of bombardment, they were almost drained dry. It was really ridiculous and pitiful to say, and they felt sad with every blow.

The more Ye Xing looked at it, the more headache he had. He gritted his teeth and reclaimed a piece of land, no longer willing to take care of it. He simply became a hands-off boss and left everything to She Yu and the others. After all, it was a trial stage now, so he just let it grow whatever he could!

She followed Yingyu around in the name of inspection.

Hu Mian continued to lead people to look for seeds, and Hu Qing remained behind.

As time passed, with the arrival of a spring rain, the whole forest came back to life.

Ye Xing simply played the role of "Imperial Astronomical Observatory" and designated this day as "Lichun".

The drizzle falls on the soft soil, which is the most gentle return to life.

Ye Xing's heart seemed to soften because of the rain. She sat under the eaves, looking at Hu Mian who was talking about something in the open space in the distance. Suddenly, she found that the child seemed to have grown taller after not seeing him for a few days.

He and Fox Qiwa were squatting on the ground, gesticulating as if they were studying some kind of rhizome. A long section of their calves were exposed, and their animal skin skirts were obviously too short.

"Didn't we just hunt a wild rabbit yesterday? Ask Lu San to make a new set of clothes for Hu Mian." Ye Xing casually instructed Bao Sanwa.

"Yes, we thought so too!" Leopard Sanwa smiled and continued, "We didn't notice that Humian hadn't been clamoring to stay by your side these past few days. Now that we have taken a closer look, we realize that Humian has grown a lot."

"She is finally an adult, no longer spoiled by His Highness, and has become mature." She Yu also echoed.

Ye Xing did not continue the topic, but just watched in silence. She had a hunch that there must be something wrong with this boy, otherwise how could he become so obedient all of a sudden?

Ye Xing fell into deep thought without realizing it, and then suddenly came back to her senses - Hu Mian had occupied too much of her mind.

It seems... not quite appropriate.

Ye Xing couldn't explain what she felt inside. It seemed like something was gradually getting out of control, making her feel a little irritated.

"Maybe spring is coming!" Ye Xing muttered as he stood up and decided to go to the stable to find Zhuyue.

There is no mood that can’t be solved by horse running. If there is, just run a few more laps.

After Ye Xing stood up and left, Hu Mian's fingers paused noticeably, and his eyebrows, which had been raised just now, visibly collapsed.

"His Highness has left!" Fox Qiwawa reminded in a low voice.

"I know!" Tiger Mian muttered.

Fox Qiwa looked a little overwhelmed, as if he had done something guilty.

"Tsk, is what you said accurate?" Hu Mian looked up at her.

"Ah?" Fox Qiwawa was caught by Tiger Mian just as he was about to sneak away. He was so scared that he had to sit back down obediently.

"Logically, there shouldn't be any problem!" She carefully considered her tone, "In the past, in the tribe, if we really liked someone, we would try it this way."

"Stay together for a while, then separate for a while to see if you still miss each other. If you miss each other very much, then it's certain that you like each other."

"I'm sure I like it! The question is how can I be sure whether Ye Xing likes it or not!"

Hu Mian poked the ground with a small stick in anger, feeling like he couldn't explain it to Fox Qiwawa.

He used to think that since that annoying guy Hu Qing was so cunning that he had formed a pact with Hu Qiwawa, it must be Hu Qiwawa's credit, so he specifically looked for her for help. Now it seems that it is not going to work, and it is a waste of his time with Ye Xing these days.

Fox Qiwa hesitated and pointed at his fingers, "I can't tell what your Highness's expression is! But if it was Hu Qing, he would have come to find me a long time ago."

"This method should be useful, but we still have to keep working harder. Yes, that's right! Your Highness is so capable, he must be different from others!" Fox Qiwawa became more and more confident as he spoke.

"Work harder? How?" Hu Mian asked immediately.

"Hmm..." Fox Qiwa bit his lower lip and seemed to be thinking hard, which made Hu Mian anxious.

"Hurry up and tell me! This is so strenuous!"

"I heard from Hu Qing that... His Highness has been out on patrol these days!" Hu Qiwawa spoke slowly.

"Yes! I should have followed her, but it was you who said I should ignore her for a few days." Hu Mian was a little angry.

"Well, next time Her Highness goes out, you should find a way to get her to stay away for a few more days. The longer she can't see you, the more you can test whether she misses you or not."

Fox Qiwa's long eyelashes hid the look in his eyes, "If she really misses you, she will definitely come to see you first when she comes back after a while!"

"...It seems so!" Hu Mian agreed with her a little bit.

"That's right! The first few times he left, he would come back after just two days at most. What can you tell? As long as the time is longer, you will definitely be able to tell!" said Fox Qiwawa.

“…Well, how can I let her stay away for a few more days?

Humian was a little worried. Ye Xing said that everything comes back to life in spring, and wild beasts will also come out. The forest is actually very dangerous, so she can't leave the tribe for too long.

In fact, how could there be any danger? In his eyes, those beasts were nothing at all. He could handle them with just his human form!

This time, Fox Qiwa spent even longer thinking: "I heard from Hu Qing that there is a high cliff in the northeast, where there are many wild bee colonies. Don't you like eating honey? You can find a way to ask His Majesty to go and get the honey. Wouldn't it take a long time to go back and forth?"

"The high cliffs in the northeast? That's a bit far..."

Hu Mian was a little reluctant to leave. Ye Xing said that more and more large wild animals have been discovered nearby recently, and she was planning to go to a farther place to have a look. It would not be difficult for her to go to the Northeast, but he was not very happy that he would not be able to see them for many days.

"...This is the simplest way. If it's really difficult, then...I'll think of something else!" said Fox Qiwawa.

"Forget it! We don't know when we can think about it again! Just let her go to the high cliff in the northeast!" Hu Mian was about to lose his patience and made a decision directly.

He thought about it and felt that this trick should work, so he immediately stood up, waved perfunctorily at Fox Qiwawa, and thought about how to talk to Ye Xing while walking.

He left quickly, leaving Fox Qiwa alone in the open space, looking into the distance thoughtfully.
