The Black Panther tribe is distributing food; it's very lively.

Yuan and Geng, along with Bai Qing, were talking to the clan chief, and the high shaman was also present.

Bai Ze sat alone in a dimly lit corner, clutching his tattered sleeve in a daze, as if his soul had drifted far away.

Mo suddenly walked up to him, slowly squatted down, and called out, "Bai Ze."

Bai Ze looked up, his body trembling slightly. He blinked blankly and asked softly, "You...know me?"

Mo placed the fruit in his hand: "Don't you remember? I am Mo, on the snowfield, you were crying by the rock."

Bai Ze licked his chapped lips, then shook his head: "I'm sorry, I don't think I remember anything."

His gaze fell on the blood-stained forehead, and Mo's eyes darkened: "Your head is injured."

"How did this happen?"

"I don't know..." Bai Ze's voice was a little dry, "but it should be better soon, it doesn't hurt much."

Seeing that he was staring at the fruit in his hand without eating it, Mo asked, "Don't you like the fruit?"

"No." Bai Ze's eyelashes trembled, he took a bite, and whispered, "It's sweet, thank you..."

Mo didn't leave; he just watched Bai Ze quietly until he finished eating the fruit, and then he reached out his hand.

"Huh?" Bai Ze asked, puzzled.

"It's too cold in here." Mo took Bai Ze's hand and pulled him up. "Aren't you hungry?"

"fine."

Bai Ze was led by Mo to a campfire. After leaving for a while, he returned with a fur robe in his hand.

"Put them on."

Bai Ze's clothes were very thin, and his hands and feet were icy cold in the wind. He didn't refuse and took the clothes, wrapping them around himself: "Thank you, Mo."

Hearing Bai Ze call his name, Mo seemed to be in a good mood, and he threw a few round things into the fire.

"There will be a sound in a moment, don't be afraid."

Bai Ze didn't know what Mo was talking about, but he still nodded obediently.

Sure enough, soon the fire started making "bang bang bang" sounds.

Mo saw Bai Ze's body tremble slightly.

He used a twig to pry out the charred croaking beast egg, peeled off the outer shell, and handed it to Bai Ze.

Bai Ze swallowed hard, then asked uncertainly, "For me?"

"Um."

"But I have nothing to exchange with you."

"No need to exchange."

Bai Ze seemed really hungry. After receiving Mo's reply, he said "thank you" again and then lowered his head to wolf down his food.

Mo sat down beside him, peeled all the eggs, placed them on the leaves in front of Bai Ze, and then brought over a bowl of water.

Bai Ze's face finally regained some color.

Mo: "Would you like some more fruit?"

Bai Ze said sincerely, "I'm full, thank you."

Unable to think of anything he could do to express his gratitude, he could only say, "If... you need anything from me, please let me know."

Mo blurted out, "Can you stay?"

"I...don't know..." Bai Ze looked troubled.

Yuan walked over with a happy expression, her gaze sweeping over Bai Ze and landing on Mo, before pulling Bai Qing, who was standing to the side, closer.

Bai Ze shrank back, seemingly trying to hide himself inside the animal skin robe.

"Bai Ze, what are you doing here?"

"I—" Bai Ze had just opened his mouth when Mo blocked his way, his gaze sweeping over Yuan and Bai Qing, his expression suddenly darkening: "I brought him here."

His voice was cold: "You said you would take good care of him."

"Huh?" Yuan and Bai Qing looked puzzled.

A moment later, Yuan suddenly realized: "Are you the child who found Bai Ze before?"

Mo stared at them indifferently.

The clan chief and the high shaman also came over.

The chieftain smiled and said to Mo, "The Yuan family will stay with our tribe from now on."

Yuan nodded in agreement.

Clan Chief: "Yuan agrees to let Bai Qing become your partner, and Bai Qing is also willing."

Bai Qing blushed and looked at Mo shyly.

Mo turned around, knelt down in front of Bai Ze, who was curled up in a ball, and asked, "Do you want to become my partner?"

Bai Ze stared at him: "What...is a partner?"

Mo thought for a moment and then said, "After you and I become partners, we will live together. I will protect you, keep you from getting hurt, keep you from getting cold, pick fruit for you, find eggs for the 'Giggle Beast,' and hunt lots of meat so you can have enough to eat..."

Mo seemed to have said everything he had in the past few months in one breath, and the other orcs around him all looked surprised and rubbed their eyes repeatedly.

Bai Ze's eyes widened suddenly, somewhat incredulous: "R-really?"

Mo said, word by word, "I assure you."

Bai Ze grabbed his arms with both hands and nodded seriously: "Yes, I want to be your partner."

The clan chief and the high shaman exchanged a smile.

Yuan and Bai Qing, however, looked extremely unpleasant.

Yuan pointed at Bai Ze and said, "My child is an idiot, he has a problem with his head, he can't do anything."

Bai Qing added, "My brother injured his head before, and he only recognizes us."

Bai Ze lowered his eyes and said to Mo with a disappointed look, "I can't do anything..."

Mo: "You don't need to know how, I'll do it."

Bai Ze's eyes seemed to be wet. He turned his head away and sniffed.

Off-screen, Bai Ze felt something warm sliding down his face, dripping down one by one.

I feel really bad.

The Yuan family stayed in the Black Panther tribe.

As Mo had said, he picked all sorts of fruits for Bai Ze, and every time he hunted prey, he would exchange it with the people in the tribe for eggs of all sizes.

Sometimes, there's also golden honey, which Bai Ze loves, and red bumps often appear on the back of Mo's hands.

Bai Ze seemed a little afraid of being around others, so Mo carried him around the forest and took him up a tree to see the stars and the moon. Bai Ze always smiled happily.

Bai Ze still refused to interact with others, and always clung tightly to Mo whenever he went out.

Mo dug a cave on the far west side of the tribe, and many beastmen came to help. Bai Ze hid behind Mo and whispered his thanks to them.

On the day they became husband and wife, Mo picked a huge bouquet of colorful flowers from somewhere and placed them on the bedside table.

As the two lay in bed, Bai Ze suddenly kissed Mo's face and gently bit his lips.

Mo's pupils dilated instantly.

Intermittent crying could be heard coming from the cave, and it gradually disappeared as dawn broke.

Time flies.

Bai Ze carefully arranged the flowers that Mo brought back in every corner of the cave, nestled in Mo's arms, and basked in the sun outside the cave, eagerly anticipating what food Mo would find each day.

Happiness is the smile that is always on Bai Ze's face.

Later, as Bai Ze's belly grew bigger, Mo would hug his waist and press his head against it.

The cave is filled with more and more fruit, and people will come to give you all kinds of round eggs.

Mo always leaves very early, and when he returns home after hunting, Bai Ze has just woken up.

He sat by the fire with Bai Ze in his arms, repeatedly saying, "Eat some more."

After an unknown amount of time, many people arrived outside the cave, including the Great Shaman. Mo's face was deathly pale, and he held Bai Ze's hand, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

"Bai Ze, I'm here."

"Don't be afraid..."

The scene abruptly ended, and everything vanished into darkness.
