Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder's Daily Rise to Power and Face-Slapping

Chapter 281 Slapping the Selfish Orc in the Face 10

"What do I want to do?" Eagle asked, clutching his chest.

After being injured by Leng Yuexing, he was taken back to the cave to rest. When he regained consciousness, he learned that Leng Yuexing had become the tribal chief and that his father had been killed by Xuan.

"Xuan, you killed my father!" Eagle roared angrily.

Xuan raised his eyes and looked coldly at Ying, "Challenging a tribal chief is a matter of life and death. What? Do you have a problem with this ancient rule?"

“But you’re clearly acting out of personal revenge!” Eagle roared.

"So what? If he hadn't kidnapped my mother, why would she have committed suicide because of it?" Xuan stepped forward and asked coldly.

Eagle glared angrily at Xuan, “Your mother, an old female, was originally intended for my father, but he committed suicide for you. If it weren’t for that, your mother would be enjoying wealth and luxury right now!”

"You are the culprit!"

Eagle's words were like an incredibly sharp sword, piercing straight into Xuan's heart.

Xuan's face suddenly turned extremely gloomy, and his eyes blazed with fury. His intense killing intent surged out like a flood bursting its banks.

He clenched his teeth and squeezed out a sentence full of anger and threat: "You're asking for death!" These three words were like a thunderclap, making the surrounding air seem to tremble.

He moved with lightning speed, rushing towards the eagle like a gust of wind.

In the blink of an eye, he had closed in on the eagle, and the two were instantly locked in combat.

Eagle was already injured and was no match for Xuan. He was struck by Xuan's palm and coughed up blood.

Leng Yuexing stared coldly at the eagle. In the eagle's eyes, female beastmen were merely appendages of male beastmen, which disgusted Leng Yuexing to the extreme.

Xuan stepped forward, intending to continue attacking the eagle, but was stopped by Feng who had arrived.

"Xuan, stop!" Feng shouted.

Xuan stopped and looked up at the wind rushing towards them.

Feng ran to Ying's side and helped him up. He looked at Xuan with disapproval in his eyes. "Xuan, fighting among orcs is strictly forbidden in the tribe. I have the right to lock you up in the back mountain for what you did!"

“Eagle’s words are unrestrained. I’ll have Xuan teach him a lesson. What, is that against the tribe’s rules?” Leng Yuexing walked to Xuan’s side and said coldly.

Feng remained silent for a long while, then lowered his head and said, "What the chief says is naturally in accordance with the tribe's rules."

"That's good." Leng Yuexing turned around and took Xuan's arm. "Let's go."

After saying that, he pulled Xuan towards his cave.

Eagle stared at Leng Yuexing's retreating figure, wanting to say something, but the pain in his chest prevented him from speaking. He could only watch helplessly as the two left.

Leng Yuexing looked at Xuan, who was radiating murderous intent, and patted him on the back with her fox tail. "Still angry?"

Xuan grabbed Leng Yuexing's fox tail with his other hand, then held it in his arms without saying a word.

“He must have said those things to upset you, don’t believe him,” Leng Yuexing comforted him, letting Xuan walk while holding his fox tail.

“I know,” Xuan replied softly, “but even if I know he’s doing this to spite me, I will never allow him to slander my mother.” He rubbed the fox tail in his arms, as if that would make him feel a little better.

“It’s not the right time yet.” Leng Yuexing shook her fox tail. “Don’t worry, I will definitely avenge you.”

Upon hearing this, Xuan's anger dissipated completely, as if a punctured balloon had been popped.

He let out a soft sigh, a roguish smile playing on his lips: "Alright, I'll be waiting."

The two chatted and laughed as they returned to Leng Yuexing's cave.

Before Leng Yuexing left the cave, she hadn't had a chance to take a closer look at its layout. Now, upon closer inspection, she realized that the cave was clean and tidy.

However, he discovered that there was no bed in the cave, only a large wooden plank covered with an animal hide.

Leng Yuexing couldn't help but ask, "Don't you all stay in beds?"

"Bed?" Xuan heard this word for the first time. "What is a bed?"

“A bed is a piece of furniture used for sleeping,” Leng Yuexing explained.

"What does it look like?" Xuan asked again.

Leng Yuexing simply found a stone and drew the shape of a makeshift bed on the ground.

Xuan observed it carefully and said, "It's just a wooden plank supported by four tall pillars?"

Leng Yuexing pointed to the wooden planks above, "There probably aren't any wooden planks this wide, so the bed board is made by piecing together several pieces of wood."

Leng Yuexing pointed to the wooden planks on the ground, "We'll probably need two of these."

Xuan smiled and said, "It's not like we don't have wooden boards like that. I have one right here, it's perfect for you."

"If you give it to me, what will you use it for?"

"After we get married, we'll naturally share a bed," Xuan said with a smile. "Until then, I'll just make do with these few planks of yours."

Leng Yuexing smiled and shook her head, "Anyway, there's no rush. You can make it when you have time. I'll go make some food now."

As Leng Yuexing spoke, she searched for cooking utensils in the cave, but only found a wooden bowl on a wooden board in the corner. She couldn't find any other cooking utensils.

Xuan asked in surprise, "We always eat at the tribal square. Dinner should be served by now. What kind of food do you want?"

Leng Yuexing turned around. "Are all the beastmen in the tribe eating together?"

Xuan shook his head. "We don't need to eat together, but everyone goes to the tribal square together to get food every day."

Public ownership...

Leng Yuexing suddenly realized that the world was still under a system of public ownership, and everything that orcs obtained had to be handed over to the tribe and was not allowed to own it privately.

The tribal chief's family must possess the best things in the tribe, which is why the eagle keeps talking about wealth and luxury.

However, public ownership has a drawback: the tribe's resources can only be allocated through human intervention and planning, which can cause many orcs to lose their motivation and not want to work hard to build the tribe.

Leng Yuexing thought that he still needed to find a way to implement private ownership, so that the tribe could be revitalized.

However, this is not something that can be changed overnight. Now, Leng Yuexing wants to go with Xuan to try the tribe's big pot meal.

So as he walked towards the cave entrance, he said to Xuan, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go eat."

Upon hearing this, Xuan stopped Leng Yuexing. Seeing Leng Yuexing looking at him in surprise, he smiled and said, "Now that you are the chief of the tribe, you don't need to fetch food yourself. The orcs will bring it to you."

As soon as Xuan finished speaking, an orc carrying two wooden buckets walked over from a distance. He placed the buckets on the ground and respectfully said to Leng Yuexing, "Chief, this is tonight's food."

"Thank you!" Leng Yuexing thanked him and then walked over to the wooden barrel to take a look.

A pungent, fishy smell rushed into Leng Yuexing's nostrils, causing her face to turn pale and her stomach to churn, making her feel nauseous.

Seeing the orc who brought him the food looking at him expectantly, Leng Yuexing forced a smile and said softly, "It looks good, you should eat too."
