Chapter 149 The Night Watchman's Thoughts

Su Luoluo looked blank upon hearing this: "Night watch? What night watch?"

It's not like we're in the middle of nowhere, why do we need to keep watch?

Su Luoluo remembered the last time she was on night watch, it was when she was fleeing a flood to where she was living now. Su Yang told her to find a beastman to keep her company for the night.

Mo Xuan seemed somewhat surprised upon hearing her words, "You don't know about keeping watch?"

What's going on? Does this mean she needs to know about keeping watch, otherwise it would be a bit strange?

Su Luoluo was secretly alarmed. Could it be that the original owner knew about this before?
However, it's probably normal to forget something like that.

Su Luoluo decided to brush it off casually. She glanced at Mo Xuan and said, "I don't know what's so strange about it. I know how to make a bread oven, but you don't?"

Mo Xuan's throat tightened, and the surprise on his face subsided considerably. He explained, "That's not what I meant. I was just surprised that even a beastman knew something that you, as a female, didn't."
After a short pause, Mo Xuan added, "When a female is pregnant, accidents can easily happen, so the beastmen need to take turns keeping watch at night to ensure the female's safety. Didn't the chief's wife tell you about this?"

Oh, so this is the night watchman.

Hearing this, Su Luoluo felt it was normal that she didn't understand.

After all, Lan Ya didn't usually pay much attention to her, and ever since Su Nuannuan scolded her, she had been so embarrassed that she hadn't shown her face in front of the tribe for a long time, let alone talk to Su Luoluo about her pregnancy.

Mo Xuan realized he had said the wrong thing after he finished speaking.

How could he have forgotten?
Lan Ya is different from other Amu; she doesn't really like Su Luoluo and there are some things she may not have told Su Luoluo.

Moreover, Su Luoluo grew up with her foster mother, a black bear, so it's normal that they don't have night watch duties there.

After all, given the size of black bears, ordinary animals would not easily choose to attack them.

Thinking of this, he said with some annoyance, "I'm sorry, Su Luoluo, I didn't mean to."

Su Luoluo wasn't too sad after hearing this, after all, what Mo Xuan said was the truth, and Lan Ya had always been the same, so she was used to it.

She shook her head. "It's okay, she really didn't tell me about this."

Luan Ting looked at Su Luoluo with gentle eyes and slowly explained, "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's a custom that has been passed down from our ancestors."

Seeing that Su Luoluo seemed somewhat confused, Luan Ting continued calmly:
“Long ago, our ancestors lived in the wild. When they slept in the wild, they were vulnerable to attacks from other orcs at night. They especially liked to strike when the tribe was at its weakest. When a tribe had a baby, the pregnant females were more likely to be attacked.”

Of course, there was one more thing he didn't tell her: in the past, keeping watch was to prevent sudden attacks by wild beasts that could harm the females and their unborn cubs, but over time, it gradually evolved into a way to enhance the relationship between females and beastman couples.

During the night watch, orcs would sleep with females, which would make it easier to take care of them and also satisfy their own needs.

Upon hearing this, Su Luoluo finally understood what this so-called night watch was all about.

However, that was a long time ago. Now they all live in wooden houses, so there's no chance of wild animals suddenly attacking them.

And this night watch shouldn't just be two people staying in one room, right?

Without her having to think much, she looked into Fufeng's emerald green eyes, which were gleaming with an eerie light, and knew that this matter was not simple.

Sleeping alone in a room is so comfortable; she can sleep however she wants.
Moreover, Su Luoluo herself felt that she was not a very good sleeping posture, so having another person in the room would not only make her feel awkward, but also make her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Therefore, she refused the six people's invitation to keep watch without much thought: "No need, I'm quite safe living in the cabin now, I don't have to worry about wild animals attacking me."

"Besides, you live nearby. If there's any danger, I can just call out and you'll know. There's no need for all this trouble."

Before they could even speak, Su Luoluo added another sentence, silencing them beforehand.

She knew very well that these people would not let it go just because of what she said, and might use security issues as an excuse to stay in her room.

So she spoke up in advance, silencing what they were about to say.

To be honest, Fu Feng and the others didn't expect Su Luoluo to refuse.

She used to be eager to sleep with them, but now that the opportunity was offered to her, she refused to share a bed with them. The men were still quite looking forward to the night watch.

Aside from having sex with Su Luoluo, they had never actually slept in the same bed with her properly.

Compared to other females and beastmen in the tribe who would sleep together, they were considered an outlier in the tribe.

From the moment they formed a totem bond with Su Luoluo, they had always slept in separate beds and even separate rooms from Su Luoluo.

Unlike other orc couples, they do not sleep in the same bed.

Previously, they disliked Su Luoluo's various actions, so they all hated being around her and tacitly refrained from bringing it up.

But things are different now. These guys have mated with Su Luoluo, and she's pregnant with their babies now, so sharing a bed is especially important.

Most importantly, there are some benefits hidden inside that cannot be openly discussed.

Everyone put in their best effort to impress Su Luoluo, but she actually refused.

Fu Feng was waiting for Su Luoluo to agree so that he could take this opportunity to show off his prowess in front of her, but she still disagreed?

It feels like I've boiled the water and am just waiting for the rice to go in, but the rice doesn't agree.

He couldn't accept Su Luoluo's refusal no matter what. He looked at Su Luoluo with piercing eyes: "I don't agree. This night watch is a tradition. If you don't agree, what will the people in the tribe think of us?"

"what?"

She must have heard correctly. Fufeng, who had never paid any attention to the tribesmen, was now actually concerned about what they thought of him.

She rolled her eyes and looked at him, saying, "Don't worry, with your beast transformation level, they wouldn't dare to talk about you casually."

After all, who would willingly seek out suffering?

No matter how much the people in the tribe love gossip, they still know what they can and cannot say.

Putting everything else aside, the original owner was neglected by several beastmen for so long. The people in this tribe always talked about Su Luoluo, and the others were hardly mentioned.

Seeing that Su Luoluo had blocked his words, Fufeng spoke up again: "I don't care. If my mother finds out, she will blame me too, in addition to the people in the tribe."

Hearing this, Su Luoluo was even more speechless. Fufeng's mother wasn't even here, so how did she know that her son hadn't been keeping watch for the females?
Besides, she wasn't carrying any of their offspring, so there's no need to say anything more.

"It's okay, your mother isn't here, so if we don't tell her, she won't know either," Su Luoluo said casually, yawning.

“But it’s too late, I’ve already told her,” Fu Feng continued stubbornly.

Su Luoluo: "."

"May I ask, how did you tell her?"

Su Luoluo was speechless upon hearing this.

Do you think this is the apocalypse, where a simple message from a quantum computer can notify everyone?

In this beast world, there is neither paper nor pen; how did he manage to transmit the message?

Upon hearing this, Fu Feng stiffened his neck and, meeting Su Luoluo's questioning gaze, puffed out his chest and said, "We dragon sparrows can fly, so we can transmit messages through other birds."

This was something she had never considered.

This bird certainly has an advantage in delivering messages.

But it's not his child, so what's the use of him saying anything?

Is participation the most important thing?
