Chapter 21: Deception and Punishment
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Milo suddenly looked up. After her resentful gaze met hers, she guiltily and aggrievedly sought out Archie to cry.
Tang Guo didn’t want to argue with her at first. After all, she was a pitiful person. But when she saw her clinging to her and refusing to let go, she suddenly felt that there must be something hateful about a pitiful person.
She was an orc, but she couldn’t smell the person who made her a cuckold?
This female was so stupid. No wonder her male wanted to cheat. If it were her, she would dare to do the same!
Tsk.
Tang Guo looked at her with pity for a long time. “Since you’ve admitted your mistake, bring twenty pheasants to apologize!”
Milo’s eyes widened instantly, convinced she’d misheard. “Why… ”
When she met her cold face, she asked, “… is it twenty?”
Twenty pheasants. Did she, a tiny human female, need to eat so much?
She was clearly trying to set her up because she couldn’t get any game and the leader refused to give her meat!
Tang Guo said, “Do you understand? You lied to everyone that these two… oh, three pheasants belong to your family, so you naturally have to compensate me tenfold.”
She corrected herself. “So you should pay me thirty pheasants.”
Milo ground her teeth. Thirty pheasants – was she not afraid of bursting!
Tang Guo smiled. “It’s okay. Two of mine are alive, so you can give me twenty live ones. I’ll raise them and slaughter them when I want to eat them. You can kill the other ten.”
These words stunned Milo and the crowd.
Then there was an explosion of applause from the outermost part of the crowd. Pebble laughed excitedly. “Sister Tango! You’re so smart! You’re amazing!”
“That is.”
Tang Guo looked at Milo’s deflated expression with satisfaction and said, “You don’t have to give them to me today. I’ll give you three days. Remember, not one less, or the Beast Lord won’t let you off the hook!”
After the rod was used, she didn’t mind dangling a carrot, so she leaned closer to Milo and reminded her, “Smell me. Is there anything familiar?”
Milo automatically obeyed, sniffed, froze, then flushed and hung her head guiltily.
Archie, who had been holding her close, also listened to Tang Guo, sniffed her breath, then stepped back with Milo.
Other than the faint scent of their leader, she smelled of no other male.
Satisfied, Tang Guo dragged the wild pheasant on the vine away.
After this experience, Pebble followed behind Tang Guo.
He completely believed that she had caught these pheasants herself. Since Sister Tang Guo was so powerful, how difficult would it be for her to catch a few pheasants?
Tsk, the white wolf cub, whose heart was filled with admiration, seemed to have forgotten that Tang Guo was supposed to be a weak human female!
He was just curious. “Sister Tang Guo, what did you just say to Milo?”
It was mainly because the way she dealt with people was too satisfying!
Tang Guo didn’t expect this white wolf brat to be so gossipy!
Amused, she said, “Children should mind their own business when it comes to adults. I’ll make beggar’s chicken later. Do you want some?”
He muttered, “Kids grow up!”
The voice was too soft, and Tang Guo was trying to figure out where to put the henhouse, so she didn’t catch it for a moment.
Pebble was hungry for Tang Guo’s cooking, but he was even more afraid of the leader. Now that she was living in the leader’s cave, he didn’t have the guts to freeload.
He was sullen. “The leader went to chase away the stray orcs in the Endless Forest. Sister Tang Guo, if you need any help, come find me!”
With that, he scurried off.
Bai Ye went to deal with the stray orcs in the Endless Forest?
Tang Guo did not take it to heart. He was the leader of the Back Cliff Tribe, and it was his duty to protect the safety of his tribe.
She returned to the cave and looked around. They were in a rocky mountain, surrounded by orc caves. Everything was bare. No place was suitable for a chicken shed.
In the end, she decided to make a rattan basket and lock them up first. She would leave them outside the cave for the time being. When her mud brick house was completed, she would build a chicken coop in the courtyard.
It was also very simple to weave a vine basket. She dragged a few vines into the cave and used her wood power to make a few vines into a vine basket according to her wishes. It was more than enough to lock up this pair of pheasants.
Only then did she start to bury the stove and cook. The cave wasn’t a good place to make beggar’s chicken, so she made a pot of chicken soup in a stone pot, lit another bonfire, and began to bake the plant salt.
When the chicken soup was stewed until the chicken meat was soft, she also obtained a small bowl of plant salt. Although it was black and did not look good, it created a salty fragrance and the delicious meat became soft and tender after she added the salt. It was really a feast for delicacies!
After being here for so many days, Tang Guo finally got to eat something that tasted like salt. She felt extremely satisfied!
She shook her head and hummed a song as she ate meat and drank soup. Ahem. Of course, she was a pure human without a tail.
When Bai Ye returned, he was greeted by the sight of a stone pot over a simple stove. A delicious, seductive aroma was wafting out of it. It was obviously the doing of the little female in his cave.
