It was Qiuyueay who suggested this joke.

The setting is in a beast world.

I've never written this type of article before, so I'm not very good at it. Please bear with me, my little ones!

The main text begins:

With winter approaching, all ethnic groups are working hard to go out hunting and gathering to store food for the winter.

In the forest, Fu Qingci, the chieftain of the fox clan, was organizing his people to go hunting.

Foxes are carnivores and don't like to eat vegetables. Chief Fu Qingci directs the women and children of the tribe to gather wild medicinal herbs.

To make gathering and hunting easier, everyone transformed into human form, and human hands became more dexterous.

Fu Qingci took the bow and swiftly shot an arrow, accurately hitting a fleeing rabbit.

"The clan leader is mighty!"

"The clan leader is so handsome! I want to marry him and have a little fox!"

"The clan leader won't like you. Even our clan's most beautiful fox doesn't like you!"

"That further demonstrates that the clan leader values ​​the fox's inner qualities!"

Fu Qingci, the subject of their discussion, frowned, her head throbbing from the noise of the foxes.

His people respected him greatly, considering him the most powerful fox, but he himself was not entirely satisfied.

Winter is coming soon. They have been hunting together for several days, but they can only catch small animals such as rabbits and chickens (these are animals, not beastmen), which is far from enough for them to get through the winter.

Fu Qingci sighed helplessly and continued her search.

Half a day later, they caught a goose, a duck, and two chickens.

What should we do? There's not much meat in the forest, but plenty of plants, though most are hard to swallow. Even the more aggressive and less picky foxes in the tribe don't like them. But if all else fails, we'll just have to gather more plants to take back...

While Fu Qingci was lost in thought, he suddenly heard his clansmen calling him.

"Chief! Come quick, I've caught some prey!"

It was a little fox who had just learned to transform into human form. In order to contribute to the tribe, he volunteered to come out hunting. Fu Qingci did not let him touch the dangerous bows, arrows and knives, and let him follow the women to pick the prey. How did they catch the game?

While he was thinking, the boy had already run up to him, panting, carrying a blood-stained creature whose nature was unrecognizable.

"Hehe, actually I didn't kill him, I found him. He doesn't seem to be an orc. Let's take him back to our tribe and make him into jerky!"

Fu Qingci squinted and examined it carefully. It looked like a cat.

The injuries look severe, and it's getting cold with winter approaching, so I'm afraid it won't make it. Although their tribe doesn't eat cat meat, it's still meat, and it can be used as an emergency if they really run out of food.

Fu Qingci nodded, but then a faint sound came from the cat's mouth.

"Don't kill me..."

After saying that, the cat fell into a coma again.

Fu Qingci's eyes widened slightly. Was this weak cat a beastman?

The sound this cat made was the language used by beastmen in human form to communicate; ordinary animals, with their lower intelligence, couldn't possibly speak it.

Orcs are generally very strong. Fu Qingci saw that although this cat was long, it was very thin and its fur was sparse, so he thought it was an ordinary animal.

The boy carrying him was also frightened. The other man was an orc! He had just said he was going to turn him into jerky!

The boy looked at Fu Qingci with some confusion: "Clan leader..."

Fu Qingci sighed and took the cat from the boy's hands. It was so light that the cat rubbed against his chest as soon as it was in his arms, as if it was unconsciously trying to please him.

"How pitiful. Take him back until his people find him."

They were already short of food, and now there was another cat-beastman, but the tribespeople had no complaints. Good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds are punished. The chieftain is so kind, heaven will bless the fox tribe.

It was too cold outside, and the little guy in her arms seemed to be freezing. Fu Qingci wrapped the cat in clothes made of fox fur and pressed it against his chest, but the little guy was still shivering, so Fu Qingci decided to call it a day early.

"Let's go back first, and continue tomorrow."

"Yes, leader!"

After returning, Fu Qingci instructed Hu to boil some hot water, as the cat was covered in blood and needed to be washed clean.

"Let me do it, you can't do these rough jobs..."

"It's alright, you go ahead and do your thing."

Fu Qingci refused the fox that came to help; he wanted to wash the little guy himself.

The little guy had been nestled in his chest, and he looked down to observe him closely. He was so cute! How could the prototype of an orc be so adorable? You know, the prototype of the smallest rat orc is enormous, at least ten times the size of an ordinary rat.

Fu Qingci put the little guy into the water and washed him carefully. Only after washing him clean did Fu Qingci realize that he was a white cat. Although she could tell that he was a cat with white markings, Fu Qingci really did not expect that he was completely white. He was so beautiful.

He had a large wound on his back, probably from being scratched by something sharp in the forest. Fu Qingci got some herbs to apply to it, then transformed into beast form and placed him in the fur on her back.

The fox clan has very thick fur, so they don't need blankets.

Xu Fan was awakened by the heat.

He was a white cat, but he was born into a population full of orange cats.

When he was born, his parents felt no joy, only an insult, because white cats symbolize bad luck. But the clan chief felt that he was also a life and kept him.

Even if he stayed, his life in the tribe was not easy. Ever since he became conscious, the tribespeople disliked him, and his parents disliked him. He was very confused at first, but later he overheard a conversation between the tribespeople and the chief, saying that it was because he was too unlucky that the tribe could find less and less food in winter since he was born, and every winter a tribesperson died.

Xu Fan looked down at his snow-white paws. So that's how it was. He was the one who brought disaster to the tribe.

So he left, and at that time, he was not yet an adult in the orcs' age.

Of course, no one looked for him.

It was tough at first. He hadn't learned to transform yet, and many orcs thought he was an ordinary animal because he was too small. He could only talk to prevent the orcs from eating him.

There was no food, so he could only eat grass to fill his stomach. Later, he gradually learned to transform into human form. During his days of wandering, he traveled all over the country, hiding in corners to observe and learn many skills from other races.

He learned to weave, make fire, and dry food. Later, he came to the seaside with a beast and accidentally used seawater to make food. He found that it tasted very good and was easier to swallow. After a long period of hard work, he invented salt making and many other ways to make plants taste good, because he was not good at hunting.

This time, he came to a new forest, wanting to see if there were any plants he had never seen before, so he could bring them back to his little home to eat. Suddenly, he was chased by a wolf. He transformed into a beastman and tried to stop the wolf from chasing him, but the wolf pounced on his human form. He had to transform back into his beast form to escape.

He ran for a very long time and finally managed to shake off the wolf, but he was exhausted and scratched. He fainted from exhaustion.

Later, he regained a little consciousness and vaguely felt as if he had been picked up by someone. Then he heard that he was going to be made into jerky. He tried to open his eyes and saw a particularly beautiful beast with gray-white hair. He didn't know what its original form was.

"This beast is so beautiful, please don't eat it!" Xu Fan managed to say, then fainted again.

So is he being roasted like a bird right now?

Xu Fan weakly opened his eyes and found himself in an unfamiliar room. The room was huge and clean, and it seemed he was lying on an animal's fur!

How rude of him! He quickly jumped down, wanting to apologize, but found that the beast was asleep.

What a big and beautiful fox!

Xu Fan's eyes were filled with amazement. This fur was so beautiful! So handsome, and so fluffy and shiny, unlike his ugly appearance...

Did he save me?

Fu Qingci felt something watching him in his sleep. When he opened his eyes, he found it was the kitten he had brought back, sitting obediently in front of him, staring at him without blinking.

It has blue eyes; what a beautiful cat!

Caught peeping, Xu Fan stammered, "I'm so sorry! Thank you for saving me! How can I ever repay you!"

Fu Qingci transformed into human form in front of Xu Fan, who stared in disbelief. "So beautiful..."

After transforming into human form, Fu Qingci looked at the still dazed kitten and picked him up: "I don't need your repayment. My name is Fu Qingci. Can you tell me your name?"

Looking at the handsome face in front of him, Xu Fan answered blankly, "My name is Xu Fan..."

So cute! Fu Qingci's heart was pounding. He had never felt this way about any other beast before. He wanted to keep this little kitten by his side forever.

So he added, "If you really want to repay us, well... then stay and help our tribe gather herbs!"

"Okay, this is something I'm very good at!"

Xu Fan was both surprised and delighted; he was finally able to repay his benefactor.

"Then let me show you around first."

Fu Qingci, carrying Xu Fan, pushed open the door, which was surrounded by foxes.

I heard that the chieftain has returned with a beautiful cat-beastman. It's incredibly small and super cute, and everyone is very curious about it.

Upon seeing this, the foxes' hearts melted. So small and cute! Is this really an orc?

Xu Fan felt the intense gazes on him and thought: They must think it looks terrible and is very unlucky.

"So cute!"

"Chief, you've had your fill of hugging, let me hug you!"

"Is he not even an adult yet?!"

Xu Fan was stunned. Were all these orcs praising him?

"Can I see your human form, little kitten?"

In fact, Fu Qingci also really wanted to see it, so she lowered her head to ask Xu Fan for his opinion.

Xu Fan nodded, jumped down, and transformed into human form in front of everyone.

Upon seeing Xu Fan's human form, gasps of admiration rippled through the crowd. He was just too, too beautiful!

She was pure white, without a single blemish, and even more beautiful than the fox clan!

Xu Fan felt a little embarrassed by the stares, but Fu Qingci took his hand and said, "Let's go, I'll show you around."

Xu Fan blushed and replied, "Okay..."

Fu Qingci greeted Xu Fan and the foxes in the clan. They were all very friendly and concerned about his health, something Xu Fan had never experienced before.

Xu Fan was held by Fu Qingci's hand the whole time, and the warmth of her touch was so comforting.

He's so kind! Xu Fan secretly vowed to repay his life-saving grace!

That night, Fu Qingci transformed into his beast form and wanted to lift Xu Fan onto his lap to sleep. Xu Fan was incredibly shy and afraid that Fu Qingci would find him repulsive, but his fur was so thick and soft. While Xu Fan hesitated, Fu Qingci slowly spoke: "Xu Fan, can you stay with me? No fox in the tribe is willing to sleep with me, I'm so lonely..."

Hearing his benefactor's distress, Xu Fan quickly transformed into a cat and climbed up. "My benefactor is so handsome, why doesn't anyone want to be his partner?"

It's alright, he's happy to rest with his benefactor.

Fu Qingci lowered his head and chuckled to himself. He really liked this cat and wanted to become its mate. Although they were both male and from different clans and couldn't have babies, there were so many foxes in the clan that he didn't have to worry about reproduction.

The next day, Fu Qingci took Xu Fan hunting, but they didn't catch much game. Then Xu Fan spoke softly, "Um, I know some really delicious plants. Could I go find them?"

Fu Qingci chuckled: "Of course, and... you can call me Aci."

Xu Fan blushed. What an intimate way to address someone!

"Okay... Aci."

Fu Qingci nodded in satisfaction: "Go ahead."

Xu Fan discovered a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes, which were all very delicious.

The foxes looked puzzled: "These are all awful! The dark one is alright after roasting, it's sweet, but the yellow one has absolutely no flavor!"

Xu Fan said, "I have a way of making them delicious."

Fu Qingci and the foxes trusted Xu Fan and took a lot back with them.

Before going back, Xu Fan said he was going to his old haunt to get some things, and Fu Qingci insisted on going with him.

After walking a very long way, they finally arrived. It was actually just a low cave with some dry grass inside. Fu Qingci frowned, her eyes full of heartache. It didn't look warm at all. Did he not have any of his people?

Xu Fan transformed into a cat, crawled inside, and laboriously emerged carrying a can in his teeth.

It was a small bowl woven from rattan, and from the edge you could see that it was lined with a large leaf and filled with a white powdery substance.

Fu Qingci quickly took it: "What is this?"

"This makes food taste better; I call it salt."

This was saved up by Xu Fan little by little. He would go to the seaside every day, and then use bamboo strips to fill the seawater and slowly make salt before bringing it back. This small jar took him at least several months to save.

"Fanfan is really amazing."

Fu Qingci naturally picked up Xu Fan and prepared to go home.

Fanfan? No beast has ever called him that. It sounds so nice coming from Aci's mouth, even though it's such an awful name.

After returning home, Xu Fan used the potatoes, sweet potatoes, and other plants she had brought back during the day to make a lot of delicious food.

Meanwhile, Xu Fan picked a fruit that was covered in thorns. The foxes were puzzled, wondering how they could eat it when it was covered in thorns.

Xu Fan used a stone knife to shred the potatoes, put them in a bamboo bowl to stir-fry, and then added salt. The foxes took a bite and found them crispy, flavorful, and delicious!

They used to just put this thing directly in the fire to roast, but it had no flavor and the texture was bad.

Xu Fan then diced the sweet potatoes and potatoes separately, mashed the roasted potatoes into a paste and added it to the mixture as a binder, rendered the stored fat into oil, fried it in the oil, and sprinkled it with salt.

The foxes always thought fatty meat was unpalatable, but they never knew it could be eaten like this! I've learned something new!

And the result is both salty and sweet with a meaty aroma, it's absolutely fantastic!

The foxes also discovered that since they were very full after eating, they didn't need as much meat. These plants were everywhere, so they didn't have to go hungry through the winter.

Fu Qingci was also very happy and couldn't help but kiss Xu Fan's cheek: "Fanfan, I'm so happy. You are such a lucky star. You saved the fox clan."

Xu Fan felt the touch on his cheek and his whole body exploded.

He had been wandering around for years and had seen many orcs. He knew what this meant; orcs doing this meant they wanted to form a mate with the other person.

"Aci..."

"Fanfan, I want to be your partner..."

Xu Fan blushed deeply: "But I'm ugly..."

Fu Qingci hugged Xu Fan tenderly: "Who said that? She's not ugly at all."

The foxes were initially stunned, but then, while eating their biscuits, they chimed in, "Not ugly at all!"

"It's incredibly beautiful!"

"Fanfan is even prettier than any of us foxes!"

So the clan leader is this proactive when he meets a beast he likes! That's great! The clan leader likes Fanfan, and they like Fanfan too!

After a long time, Fu Qingci was about to give up. Sure enough, he had been too impulsive. It was all too fast; they had only known each other for a day...

To everyone's surprise, Xu Fan weakly replied, "Okay..."

Fu Qingci excitedly picked up Xu Fan and spun him around a few times, then pecked him on the cheek a few times: "Fanfan, you're so sweet! Let's hold our marriage ceremony in the spring!"

"I'll do whatever Aci says..."

Everyone was happy; Xu Fan finally had a home.

With winter approaching, Xu Fan dared not delay and taught the foxes how to make salt.

The foxes watched as so much seawater yielded only a tiny bit of salt; salt was truly precious.

Fu Qingci put her arm around Xu Fan's waist and gently kissed Xu Fan's forehead with tenderness.

So much salt, it would have taken so long to make, and yet we gave it all to them without reservation.

Xu Fan brought back thorny fruit, which, after being peeled and roasted, became sweet and soft.

Xu Fan also taught the foxes how to weave, which made their lives much easier.

The foxes got through the winter successfully; they didn't lose weight, but actually gained a lot.

In the spring, Fu Qingci and Xu Fan held a marriage ceremony, inviting many other ethnic groups.

This includes orange cats.

"Isn't that Xu Fan? White cats are so unlucky, how did he end up with the fox clan chief?"

Foxes have very keen hearing. When Fu Qingci cast a sharp glance at the orange cat, it immediately fell silent.

Over the past few months, Fu Qingci has noticed that Xu Fan is very sensitive and insecure, fearing that he will be disliked by the beast. She finally managed to get him to admit that he had been wandering since he was underage, but Xu Fan was unwilling to say anything else.

So that's the reason.

It's the orange cat clan's lack of foresight that will make Xu Fan the most precious treasure in their fox clan in the future.

With Fu Qingci's patient care, Xu Fan became much more confident. The two held a marriage ceremony in front of all the beasts, and then exchanged a tender kiss.

Ji Yuzhi was grinding his teeth so hard they were almost crushed. He was the one who had his eye on the kitten first, but it ran away by accident that day. How did it get snatched away by that vixen? A fox is no match for a wolf!
