Chapter 268 Let's coax him.
Lang Cang frowned, touching Lin Baiyan's right fingertip with each finger in turn. He then held Lin Baiyan's finger up to him and asked, "What did you do?"
Lin Baiyan smiled helplessly, "I'm going to bless the newborn Xiaoshu Le."
“I fed him a little bit of my blood.”
Lang Cangdu's face immediately darkened. "Why?"
He already knew that Lin Baiyan's blood contained the essence of the Beast God. He had kept this secret deep in his heart, wishing that no one knew, for fear that someone would covet the Beast God's power and harm Lin Baiyan.
But now he's actually willingly giving his blood to others, even if they're just young cubs from their tribe, Wolf Cang isn't at ease with it.
Lin Baiyan saw that the male orc in front of him had a cold expression and did not say a word, only silently looking at him.
He felt a little guilty. "It won't happen again next time."
He knew he had acted impulsively today, but this was the first cub born in the Cangyan tribe, and Lin Baiyan was overjoyed.
"Only Little Mouse Le gets this treatment. I won't give it to any more cubs born in our tribe in the future!" Lin Baiyan snuggled into Lang Cang's arms, tilting her head up to look at him with bright, cat-like eyes.
Wolf Cang remained silent.
Seeing that he didn't react, and noticing that no one was around, Lin Baiyan gritted his teeth and gently shook Lang Cang's arm. "Don't be angry~"
Wolf Cang: ...
Lang Cang couldn't hold back any longer. He sighed softly and looked down at his little partner earnestly, "You promise me!"
Lin Baiyan nodded hurriedly, "I promise I will never give it to you again!"
"I'm not angry, I'm just worried about you." Neither of them knew what the blood's purpose was.
If Xiaoshu Le were to display some unusual abilities, and others were to associate them with Lin Baiyan, Lang Cang dared not imagine what might happen.
Lin Baiyan curled her lips into a smile. "Of course I know, you like me the most!"
As soon as Lin Baiyan finished speaking, she saw Lang Cang's ears turn red in silence, and then the blush spread all the way down to his neck.
He smiled mischievously, tiptoed slightly, suddenly leaned close to Lang Cang's cheek, and then unexpectedly kissed him.
Lang Cang was stunned. This was the first time Lin Baiyan had ever kissed him in public.
While Lang Cang was still in a daze, Lin Baiyan ran away with a big laugh and her eyes crinkled.
After regaining his senses, Lang Cang immediately gave chase, and the two of them started bickering.
……
As expected, Lin Baiyan's premonition was not without reason.
A few days after the Rat gave birth to its cubs, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
The first snow of this year's snow season came so early.
Lin Baiyan quickly called on everyone to harvest the newly planted Chinese cabbage and romaine lettuce in the planting area. The potatoes had already been stored in the warehouse before winter.
After the first winter snow, the weather grew increasingly cold, and the land slowly froze, causing great difficulties for their urban development.
"We can't dig out any soil, so our work has slowed down a lot these past two days," Hu Yang reported to Lin Baiyan with a worried expression.
Lin Baiyan also frowned. After the snowfall, the ground was frozen solid, making it indeed difficult to dig.
"How many shovels does the blacksmith have now?" Lin Baiyan asked, glancing at Hu Jiang to the side.
Hu Jiang flipped over his thin animal hide. "There are probably more than sixty shovels now."
Their iron smelting speed was acceptable, but each time they had to go to the southwestern mountains to collect iron ore, it took a lot of time to make the round trip.
Moreover, it's not just shovels; their blacksmith workshop also needs to make many other tools, such as iron knives, iron pots, iron swords, and iron arrows. All of these require raw materials, which is why the progress is a bit slow.
The current situation in blacksmith shops is that they have a little bit of all kinds of tools and weapons, but not much of anything.
Lin Baiyan pondered for a moment, "In that case, if we concentrate all our manpower on blacksmithing, wouldn't the progress be faster?"
"Of course it's faster, but if no one goes to haul iron ore, where will the raw materials come from?" Hu Jiang said helplessly.
"You don't need to worry about the raw materials. I'll let you know when to pick them up nearby." Lin Baiyan planned to take Lang Cang and the Qiankun bag to the southwestern mountains.
In fact, Lin Baiyan was unwilling to use the Qiankun Bag unless absolutely necessary. These magical artifacts were, after all, foreign things, and using them too much would create dependency. He preferred that everyone create their own future with their own hands.
By being down-to-earth and taking things one step at a time, we can make progress more stable.
However, special circumstances require special handling now. Without more tools, their urban construction would have to be stretched out over a long period, which would be extremely inefficient.
Since Lin Baiyan had said so, Hu Jiang didn't ask any more questions. He just nodded and said, "Then we'll leave it to the priest. If we need to move stones, the priest can just ask us to."
Lin Baiyan replied with a smile, "I know." That's why he likes to talk to smart people. Look at Hu Jiang's discerning eye; he doesn't ask a single question he shouldn't.
Hu Yang, standing to the side, looked at their high priest and Hu Jiang with a blank expression, asking, "Huh? What is that?"
Lang Cang quipped from the side, "None of your business, go play somewhere else."
Okay, then.
Hu Yang scratched his head and stopped worrying about it. If he couldn't tell him, he couldn't tell him. As long as he had enough tools to continue building the city, that was fine.
As for the rest, the high priests and the others will take care of it!
He's just a tiger; his job is simply to lead the other big tigers in their work.
So, sometimes fools have their own kind of luck.
After they finished reporting and left, Lang Cang glanced at his little companion and asked, "You're going to use the Qiankun Bag?"
Lin Baiyan grinned and moved closer, "This is also for the sake of our city's development."
He had offended Lang Cang just two days ago because of the matter of his essence blood, and now he looked at him with a somewhat ingratiating expression, "I will definitely be very careful this time!"
Lang Cang shook his head helplessly, "I can use it, but I want to go with you."
Lin Baiyan readily agreed, "No problem!"
He had originally planned to bring Lang Cang along; if he didn't go, his "exclusive high-speed vehicle" would be wasted!
That night, Lin Baiyan and Lang Cang set off under the cover of darkness.
Since we're going to do something "shameful," we definitely have to do it at night!
The wolf clan has extremely strong night vision; even in the darkest night, it is as bright as day to Lang Cang.
The white wolf, with a leather bag tied to its back containing a fluffy kitten, quietly left the tribe amidst the wind and snow.
