Chapter 23 Finding a Place to Spend the Night
When faced with Sen's question, Ruan Mianmian didn't know how to answer.
Is she going to say that she's a human who traveled from another time? That she has a system that can store things?
These are secrets that cannot be told and will remain with her for the rest of her life.
So she had no choice but to lie and get away with it.
"I don't know what this is, I was just born with this ability."
Sen listened to her words and pondered for a long time. The Beastman Continent was actually divided into several regions, and he only lived in one small region. It was possible that other Beastmen had the same abilities.
Furthermore, the appearance of a small female in the Lala Mountains is an unusual occurrence, so it's possible that she might possess some unique characteristics.
“Little female, it’s wonderful that you have this ability. You don’t know how many tribes have lost countless orcs because of food shortages in winter. And the reason for the lack of food is simply that they can’t store it. If other orcs had such a miracle as you, what would they have to worry about?” Sen happily circled around Ruan Mianmian.
“But I can only store it for a short time,” Ruan Mianmian said helplessly. “It can’t be preserved indefinitely. Besides, I don’t know how to give other beastmen this ability.”
She understood the principle that possessing a treasure is a crime, so she told a white lie.
After a moment's thought, Sen said, "It's alright. As long as we can find a way to extend the storage time, we can solve the tribe's food problem. As for how to give other orcs this ability, that's not something we can think about. After all, miracles aren't something everyone can possess."
Ruan Mianmian nodded, indicating her agreement with his statement.
Now that they had solved the prey problem, they could continue their journey; they still needed to get back to their habitat as soon as possible.
Winter is coming soon, and he needs to prepare more food for the cubs. Once Ruan Mianmian arrives at the habitat, she will know what kind of tribe it is.
Ruan Mianmian sat on Sen's head, and the two continued on their way.
Because of Sen, Ruan Mianmian not only didn't suffer along the way, but also got to eat different kinds of fruit.
In Sen's memory, females all liked to eat different kinds of fruit.
It was autumn, the season for harvesting all kinds of fruits, so the two picked them along the way.
Now that he had Ruan Mianmian's storage function, Sen unsurprisingly found a lot of food. This function was very powerful, so he might as well make good use of it.
As darkness fell, Sen decided to find a place to stay for the night. If he were alone, he could simply find a spot to curl up and get through the night.
But now that he has a little female by his side, he must find a cave or some other place for her to rest.
Ruan Mianmian tapped the search map on the snake's head to check the nearby caves, and there was indeed one not far from them.
Ruan Mianmian seemingly casually directed Sen to walk towards the cave. Sen moved quickly and soon arrived at the cave.
"Ruanruan, there's a cave here. We can rest here tonight."
Sen placed Ruan Mianmian beside the cave and then peered inside through the snake's head to check the situation. If there was any danger, they would deal with it immediately so the little female wouldn't be harmed.
Seeing Sen's actions, Ruan Mianmian's heart was stirred once again. It felt so good to be cared for and appreciated!
After confirming that the cave was safe, Sen gestured for Ruan Mianmian to go inside. He then took some dry branches from outside, wrapped them in snake tails, and placed them into the cave.
"Ruanruan, step back a little, I'm not sure I'll burn you if I light the fire."
Upon hearing Sen's words, Ruan Mianmian immediately moved further inside and then hid close to the cave wall.
Seeing that the little female had hidden herself, Mori opened his mouth wide and swooshed towards the pile of dry branches, setting them ablaze!
Mori can breathe fire!
