He looked strangely at Qiyao and asked curiously, "You are not feeling well?"
This was the first time Qiyao had refused to draw near him since he was disfigured.
Qiyao looked at him and shook his head slightly, "I'm not uncomfortable."
As if afraid of anger, he hurriedly said: "The priestess gave birth to 30 snake babies at a time. I'm really envious, so I went to the priestess and asked her how she could get pregnant quickly."
"How did the priestess answer you?"
Yinye rolled over and lay down next to Jiyao, turning his head to look at her.
Jiyao's face turned slightly red, but she did not hide, saying the truth: "The priestess asked us how often we do it, and I said every day. She said it was too frequent and said that doing so would not be easy to get pregnant."
Yin Xiu was taken aback. Wasn't it the more they did, the higher the chance of getting pregnant? How could it be difficult to conceive?
However, thinking that the priestess was knowledgeable and understood many things that others didn't, he believed that she must have a reason for saying so.
He paused for a moment before addressing Qiyao, "In that case, let's rest for a few days first, and give ourselves more time between sessions."
After all, he didn't want to touch Qiyao in the first place; if it weren't for the need to have a child, he couldn't even sleep.
During the day, it's not too bad, just a bit ugly.
But at night, the face of Qiyao really became a bit frightening.
Jiyao was unaware of Yinxiao's thoughts, and upon hearing his words, she naturally would not refuse.
The next day, Yuyao ordered Mo'e to clear a patch of land behind the log cabin.
After clearing the land, they planted some seeds they had previously collected.
For example: carrots, cabbage, celery, chili peppers, garlic, and scallions.
Although these vegetables can be found in the forest, she still prefers to be self-sufficient.
The orcs in the tribe saw the priestess clearing land behind her house and imitated her to start cultivating vegetables.
With this, they could simply pick what they wanted from their own backyard, no need to make a special trip to the mountain, which was convenient and time-saving.
Yuyao felt that this was great, having their own food supplies made their hearts at ease.
She also encouraged the orcs in the tribe to cultivate and farm.
She instructed the orcs of the tribe to clear a piece of land that was flat and close to a water source.
The main crops to be planted were rice, corn, and sweet potatoes.
The scorching summer has passed, and this is the harvest season. Although it's not the best time to plant crops, they can clear the land first, and then plant the crops next year.
After the harvest season comes the snow season, and the weather will gradually become colder.
The snow season in the Orc World lasts for four months. Not only do they need to stock up enough food for the winter, but they also have to prepare enough wood and charcoal.
Without cotton, relying solely on fur is not enough to survive the winter. Every year, countless orcs die of cold during the snow season.
The elderly and children die even more.
She instructed Mo'e to chop more wood and bring it back. All the wood brought back was split and piled in the shed.
Apart from cutting wood.
Mo'e has been going out for hunting frequently recently, just to gather more food for the winter.
The other orcs in the tribe were fine, not so anxious.
After all, when the snow season arrives, they will enter a state of hibernation, as will the females and cubs in the tribe.
As long as they are asleep, they don't need to eat.
But Mo'e was in a hurry. He and the children could hibernate, but Yuyao's body was a ferret, and ferrets do not hibernate.
To prepare enough charcoal and food for Yuyao to get through the snow season, he was so busy that he was like a top, never able to stop.
Even at night, he still had to incubate the eggs.
He was looking thinner and thinner, and Yuyao felt worried. She tried all kinds of ways to cook him delicious food with nutrition.
Mo'e was overjoyed and became even more diligent in his work, not uttering a single complaint.
Yuyao cleaned and cut the hunted animals brought back by Mo'e, seasoned them with salt, and hung them outside to dry in the good sunlight.
After drying, she took them inside and put them away.
She was making salted pork.
She also made a lot of sausages, which were cleaned and filled with the large intestines of wild boars. They were hung outside to dry as well.
While working, she didn't pay much attention. With her white fabric, even a small stain was very noticeable.
She looked down at her soiled skirt and furrowed her brow, then naturally conjured a cleaning spell for herself.
The skirt was cleaned up instantly and the stains disappeared. Yuyao looked much more pleasing to the eye now.
But inevitably, she thought about dyeing the fabric again.
"Junjun, do you know how to dye fabric?"
She couldn't help but ask the system.
The system was extremely frustrated in its mind, saying ungraciously, "Master, there's a tutorial on how to dye fabric in the system mall. Just spend your points to buy it. Don't ask me for everything."
The system expressed its deep disdain, "Master, you have plenty of points and are about to get 30,000 points. You're almost a rich woman. Why do you still act so frugal?"
Yuyao rolled her eyes and cursed the system as trash.
She then opened the system mall and bought the cheapest ancient dyeing technique tutorial.
She looked at the tutorial several times and found that it included using plant dyes to color.
This is using natural plant dyes, such as pomegranate, indigo, and osmanthus flowers. These dyes can give the fabric a variety of bright colors.
There is also a method of mineral dyeing, which involves using natural minerals such as hematite powder and azurite.
This dyeing method can produce dark colors.
There were more complicated methods at the end, which she didn't bother to look at in detail.
After getting the method, she arranged for the orcs in the tribe to find the raw materials.
The orcs in the tribe didn't know what the raw materials for dyeing were.
Yuyao led them to the forest to find the raw materials herself, while Mo'e didn't follow. He was busy.
Though he didn't go along, he did entrust Yin Xiao and Nan Ze to protect Yuyao's safety.
Yin Xiao and Nan Ze readily agreed.
Yuyao quickly brought the orcs of the tribe to the forest.
Not wanting to waste time, she had the system scan.
It seems that the system doesn't want to inconvenience her any more, so it agreed quite willingly this time.
With the system's scanning, the efficiency naturally improved a lot, and it was easy to find the raw materials for dyeing.
Pointing to a plant, she said to everyone, "This is Chinese safflower; it can be used for dyeing. Besides this, sarsaparilla, gardenia, indigo plant, and other plants can also be used for dyeing. I've picked a plant of each for you all. Make sure to remember this; don't pick the wrong ones later."
As for minerals, they need to be seen in geology. She hasn't seen cinnabar, malachite, or other minerals at her current location.
"Remember, the priestess,"
Yin Xiao looked at the Chinese safflower closely, confirmed that he had remembered, and said as well.
Nan Ze went over to take a look and secretly remembered it as well.
At the same time, they tried to recall where they had seen this plant.
The other orcs who had come along also made a conscious effort to remember the appearance of the Chinese safflower, afraid they might pick the wrong plant.
Chinese safflower is just one type, Yuyao didn't go back, and continued to search with the orc tribe.
They then found several more raw materials for dyeing, all of which were noted down by the orcs behind them.
"You all look around here first. Let me know when you have gathered all the materials."
She instructed them and started to wander around the nearby mountains and forests.
Nan Ze and Yin Xiao, two orcs, didn't feel at ease and followed her from behind.
They had promised Mo'e to protect the priestess and couldn't afford to let anything happen to her.
Yuyao didn't pay much attention to it. As long as they were following her, they could help themselves if needed.
After walking a distance of about ten meters, she noticed a plant growing under a large tree on her right.
She walked a few steps forward, crouched down, and examined the plant closely. She was able to confirm that it was a ginseng.
Nan Ze and Yin Xiao saw the priestess's ecstatic expression as she gazed at the plant, and they were also confused in their hearts.
The two orcs exchanged glances and then walked over.
Yin Xiao looked at the ginseng under the tree and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Priestess, what is this thing?"
