EBE Chapter 72 Rules
Chapter 72 Rules
The next morning, the wind was still raging outside, howling incessantly.
However, the cave was unusually warm and quiet.
This is thanks to the walls surrounding the cave and the reeds covering it, which effectively block the cold and keep the temperature inside the cave pleasant.
Ruan Mianmian had a tumultuous night and was still sound asleep.
Sen, Yu, and Zhi sat around the fire, talking in hushed tones, their expressions focused and mysterious.
Some of the other little beastmen were asleep, while others were quietly playing, but they were all very careful and dared not make a sound so as not to disturb Ruan Mianmian.
Time passed slowly, and before she knew it, an alluring fragrance wafted into Ruan Mianmian's nose, waking her from her sleep.
She wrinkled her nose, sniffed carefully, and immediately recognized the aroma of roasted meat.
He opened his eyes groggily and his gaze fell on Yu, who was not far away.
He was intently grilling the meat, the golden-yellow pieces gleaming enticingly, clearly nearing completion.
Just then, Ruan Mianmian's stomach rumbled, and she covered her stomach in embarrassment, a blush creeping onto her face.
Hearing Ruan Mianmian get up, Yu turned around, her eyes full of tenderness and doting, and said softly, "You're up? Come and try the meat I just grilled."
After saying that, he handed the grilled meat to Ruan Mianmian.
Ruan Mianmian took the roasted meat, politely thanked Yu, and then couldn't wait to take a bite and wolf it down.
However, she didn't notice the longing looks in the eyes of the other little orcs around her, who were staring intently at the roasted meat in her hands, as if waiting for something.
Seeing the way the little beastmen looked, Sen, who was sitting to the side, couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
He snorted softly to express his dissatisfaction, but Zhi grabbed his hand and whispered to him not to make a sound so as not to disturb Ruan Mianmian, who was enjoying her meal.
Yu noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere. He smiled and took out some more meat to continue grilling.
The other little orcs cheered excitedly upon seeing this.
At this moment, Ruan Mianmian finally realized that the little beastmen were probably hungry. She stopped what she was doing, looked at the roasted meat in her hand, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
She realized that her behavior just now was inappropriate, as she had not considered the feelings of others.
Yu seemed to see through Ruan Mianmian's thoughts, and he smiled and comforted her, "It's alright, Chief, please eat! These were originally grilled for you first. After all, the meat was hunted by the Chief, so you have the right to enjoy it first."
As he spoke, he gently patted Ruan Mianmian's shoulder to show his encouragement.
Seeing that Ruan Mianmian hesitated, he quickly said, "In our tribe, apart from the chief, all the other males have to go out hunting. Only in this way can the entire tribe be fed. Moreover, the females have a very high status, so no matter which status you are in, you should eat first."
He specifically called Ruan Mianmian "leader" this time because he wanted to take this opportunity to legitimize her and make her the official leader.
Previously, because there were only young orcs and no adult orcs in the tribe, and no adult females to teach them, and Sen and Yu were constantly picking up young orcs in the valley, he did not mention many of the rules.
After all, no one knows when this tribe will perish.
However, since the appearance of the goddess gave him new hope and vitality, he began to consider slowly telling everyone about some of the tribe's rules and regulations, and letting everyone become familiar with and abide by them.
The goddess has always interacted with the little beastmen as a female. At this age, they are yearning for love and care. When a female suddenly appears, they inevitably see her as a mother figure.
Therefore, although respect arose during their interactions, reverence was relatively lacking, which led to the problem mentioned earlier.
This was unacceptable to Zhi, Sen, and Yu.
Ruan Mianmian should have a transcendent status in this tribe. The little beastmen should start to respect her, love her, and protect her from now on!
Therefore, the three of them decided that from today onwards, they would always call Ruan Mianmian their leader.
Then, Zhi turned around, looked at the little beastmen with a serious expression, and said loudly, "From today onwards, Ruan Mianmian is our leader. You must all listen to her and stop being disrespectful."
The little beastmen looked at each other, seemingly not fully understanding the meaning of "knowledge".
At this moment, Yu also stepped forward and echoed, "That's right, from now on we should all call Ruan Mianmian our leader."
Sen nodded in agreement.
Ruan Mianmian looked at them with some surprise, a feeling of being moved welling up in her heart.
She took a deep breath, smiled, and said to the little beastmen, "Thank you. I will try my best to be a good leader."
