"These are the Black Snake Tribe, all the orcs in the tribe are snakes. She is different from our race. Can you treat her as one of our own?"
Jiuyao looked at Yu Yao coldly, the jealousy in his eyes nearly overflowing, and said discontentedly.
Mo Ju's gaze fell on Jiuyao, frowning and said, "Jiuyao, do not think I will not move you."
Jiuyao raised a light, mocking smile: "Jue, she's an outsider, whether she can be accepted into our tribe depends on her own abilities. You can't force everyone to like her and accept her."
Mo Ju knows that Yu Yao is skilled in medicine, able to identify herbs, and can even create fire.
The tribesmen will eventually like her, there is no need to prove it now.
He no longer paid attention to Jiuyao, not even giving her a glance.
Instead, he gently pulled up Yu Yao's hand, his cold, vertical pupils scanning the crowd severely and coldly saying: "This is the female I have chosen!"
With just one sentence, he made it clear to everyone present that there was no room for discussion on this matter.
At the same time, he also warned those beasts with ulterior motives for Yu Yao.
"Ah ha~ Ah ha~"
The orcs clenched their fists with both hands, repeatedly swinging back and forth, jumping around as well, their expressions excited and joyful.
Although it looked strange, Yu Yao knew that this was the way orcs welcomed guests, and she felt a sense of relief.
Although many females were unhappy in their hearts, they did not express it.
Mo Ju is the untouchable flower of the tribe; even without Yu Yao, he would not have eyes for them.
Thinking about it this way, the hostility towards Yu Yao was not as strong.
Nine Tian's expression was very unpleasant, with a hateful look that seemed to eat Yu Yao alive.
Yu Yao noticed Jiuyao's unfriendly gaze, furrowed her brows, and silently made a mental note of this woman.
The two did not stay in the square for long, and quickly returned to their cave.
Just as Yu Yao sat down on the stone bed, she saw Mo Ju walk over to her side, grab her arm, and bite down on it.
She was momentarily stunned, looking at the bite marks on her arm, which were bleeding slightly. She thought to herself: Would I be poisoned if I got bitten by a snake?
She was just about to ask Mo Ju why he had bitten her.
Shortly after, she noticed a black snake pattern suddenly appearing on her arm.
"Is this a mark of partnership?"
Although Yu Yao is not a native, she has the memories of the previous owner, so she knows a little bit about it.
"I have always wondered if you would like to be my partner, but I haven't asked you. But you've been wearing clothes made from my snake skin, so I assumed you were willing. I took it upon myself to announce it. Will you blame me?"
Mo Ju reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her into his arms, and smiled faintly.
Yu Yao blushed and shook her head, "This was intentional on my part, so how could I blame him?"
Seeing her blush and shake her head, the smile on Mo Ju's face deepened. With a flip, he pinned her down on the stone bed.
Sinister, enchanting, and extremely seductive.
"Here will be your home, and you will also be my female. I will take care of food, and I will try my best to protect you and prevent you from being hurt."
Yu Yao's back was against the stone bed. Although covered with animal skins, it was still hard and uncomfortable.
Yu Yao thought she should go find some straw to lay on top, so that it would be softer to sleep on.
Listening to Mo Ju's words, she nodded slightly, "I will also find my own food, but I am happy that you are willing to support and protect me."
"You know too much and look good."
Mo Ju looked at her intently before suddenly saying.
Yu Yao felt that he didn't say anything coherent, which made her a little confused.
Mo Ju used his index finger to gently lift her chin, coldly warning, "I am a very dominant person. Since you have chosen me, you can only have one beast husband from now on. Understood?"
"Can I still have others?" She suddenly blurted out such a brain-dead sentence.
"You can try, if I find out that you have relations with another male, I will devour you or make you a slave of the tribe."
He warned coldly.
Female slaves in the tribe are those who have been deemed unable to bear children.
Female slaves who cannot bear children have no value in the tribe. They are only used by the tribe's males to satisfy their desires.
Yu Yao is well aware that she does not want to be swallowed by Mo Ju or become a tool for the beastmen to indulge in.
"You are so powerful; with you, I have all I need. Who else do I need?"
She gently caressed his chest with her small hand and smiled coquettishly.
She had no intention of getting involved with others. She had heard that snakes have two things.
Mo Ju is enough for her to handle; if there were anyone else, she wouldn't know how to live.
"Very good, remember what you said."
Mo Ju's heart was filled with joy, and his face also softened somewhat.
But he still couldn't help but give a warning.
"I'll go prepare the food. You wait here first."
Mo Ju let go of her, and then he got up and left.
Not long after, he came back with a piece of meat, which she estimated to be at least a dozen pounds and very fresh.
It was even clean.
Yu Yao smiled and went to help, using a dagger to cut the meat into pieces and using clean, broad leaves as plates.
Remembering the few sprigs of scallion she saw on the way back, she went to pull some.
After washing and spreading them evenly on the meat.
Mo Ju glanced at her movements and asked curiously, "What are you doing by putting grass on the meat?"
This grass has a strong flavor; some people like it, while others don't.
Yu Yao turned to look at him and smiled, "This thing can remove the smell of the meat, I call it 'scallion'."
Mo Ju knew she was knowledgeable and did not doubt her.
On the Continent of Beasts, there are always some people favored by the God of Beasts, and Yu Yao seemed to be one of those.
Just like that, Mo Ju became even more determined to keep her hidden. He did not want others to discover her goodness, so they would not be coveted by other beastmen.
Yu Yao was unaware that Mo Ju had already developed the desire to keep her hidden. She used scallions to cover all the meat.
Thinking of something, she asked, "Do we have any salt?"
Without any other seasonings, that would be fine. But if there is no salt, she really cannot eat it.
And not eating salt can lead to weakness.
The previous owner hadn't eaten salt for a long time, which was why she had been feeling weak.
"There is, I will go get it."
Mo Ju dug out a small earthenware jar from the corner of the cave, which must contain salt.
The earthenware jar was ugly and extremely irregular, looking like a defective product.
But even so, in the Continent of Beasts, it is a very precious thing.
She had heard that only the Beasts' City had earthenware jars, and they could only be exchanged for crystal stones.
Crystal stones are rare; they can not only be used for cultivation by the beasts but also as currency.
Generally, beastmen have crystals and keep them for their own cultivation, they wouldn't be willing to use them to exchange for an earthenware jar.
Yu Yao stretched out her hand and took the earthenware jar Mo Ju handed over. After opening the lid and peering inside, she found that there was nearly half a jar of salt in it.
"Surprisingly, there's so much salt?"
She looked at Mo Ju in amazement, surprised that this man is actually quite wealthy.
Salt does not need to be exchanged in Beasts' City, it is available at the annual trading fair, but the price is very high.
It takes about 200 pounds of game to trade for a small pinch of salt, which is enough for just a few days' worth of consumption.
Although this half jar doesn't look much, it would take at least thousands of pounds of game to trade for it, if not more.
"Hmm, I got it last year at the trading fair, and I still have some left."
Mo Ju carried a pile of dry wood outside the cave and placed it on the ground. Then, he went to start a fire himself.
He may only have seen it once, but he is still capable of doing it.
Seeing Mo Ju start the fire, Yu Yao didn't interfere, but instead spread the salt evenly over the meat and used clean wooden skewers to thread it onto.
By this time, Mo Ju had already started the fire and it was burning fiercely.
"You're quite quick at learning."
She smiled at him and then put the skewered meat on the fire to roast it, flipping it occasionally.
