After that, the two beasts fell into silence for a long time under the thatched hut, and only spoke again after Bai Mushuang roasted the prey.

"You can eat now. Eat more."

This time, the little blind dog took the meat handed over by Bai Mushuang without any hesitation, and began to eat in silence.

Until he had eaten and drunk his fill, the little blind dog didn't say another word to Bai Mushuang.

Even when Bai Mushuang wanted to sleep next to the little blind dog, the little blind dog politely refused.

"Master Bai, this is inappropriate. If you insist on doing this, I will have to move to another place to live."

The little blind dog's refusal this time was decisive, leaving no room for maneuver like in the past.

Bai Mushuang saw that the little blind dog had given a warning, and she couldn't be rude, so she could only lie down with her face drooped and fall asleep on another haystack.

Until late at night, Bai Mushuang still couldn't fall asleep. He could clearly feel that the little blind dog was beginning to become more resistant to him.

Bai Mushuang didn't understand why the little blind dog suddenly asked these questions, and Bai Mushuang tossed and turned for a long time that night but couldn't figure it out.

Early in the morning, Bai Mushuang got up early as usual and went out hunting, but he did not look very good. Before leaving, he stared blankly for a long time at the little blind dog who was still sleeping beside him.

Ever since what happened last night, Bai Mushuang was always distracted when hunting. He seemed to gradually realize that the conversation with the little blind dog last night had created a rift in their relationship.

Bai Mushuang's mind kept echoing with the question from the blind dog:

'Am I just a toy for your whim?'

Bai Mushuang couldn't help but think:

(Can I really protect the little blind dog now? What should I do if my enemy comes looking for me one day? Besides... the little blind dog's five declines have reached the end, right? If I insist on him becoming my partner, will it only cause more pain to both of us?)

While Bai Mushuang was distracted, the prey had left unnoticed, but Bai Mushuang didn't care about it.

The thoughts in my mind continue:

The so-called five declines refer to:

One decline: The soul and spirit are incomplete at birth. (Three souls and seven spirits, missing the two souls and five spirits.)

Second decline: congenital disability. (Born blind and suffering from constant illness.)

Three declines: bad luck. (Suffering and disasters throughout life.)

The fourth decline: Heaven cannot tolerate. (Unable to practice, short lifespan.)

Five declines: (unclear...)

Many times, the beasts that had the five signs of decay could not even withstand one sign of decay and would turn into nothingness, unable to come to the world again. However, the little blind dog managed to withstand the fourth sign of decay. It was truly a miracle among miracles. There are very few records of beastmen who have truly survived the five signs of decay in the books of the Heavenly Palace.

Bai Mushuang considered a lot. He was afraid that once he became the little blind dog's partner, he would have to watch his short life disappear, and the pain they would bring to each other would be heavy. But he could not let go of the little blind dog in his heart. Bai Mushuang was afraid of pain and loss, and also afraid of loneliness.

Although Bai Mushuang was distracted during hunting, he still caught a lot of prey, which made many orcs feel good about Bai Mushuang.

After all, in this era, it is a luxury for ordinary orcs to be able to have enough food and clothing.

When Bai Mushuang returned to the hut, she saw the little blind dog packing up the tools in the hut. Seeing this, Bai Mushuang began to ask:

"What are you doing?"

The little blind dog turned his back and answered without showing any emotion:

"Chief Bartos has re-arranged housing for Lord Bai and me. I heard that Lord Bai is very good at hunting and has provided better food for many orcs here. So Chief Bartos discussed with several other chiefs to allocate a good place for you to live. Fortunately, I was also allocated a wooden house. I don't have to worry about wind or rain in the future."

After hearing the answer from the little blind dog, Bai Mushuang clenched his hands and asked solemnly:

"You don't live with me?"

The little blind dog was stunned when he heard it, then stopped what he was doing and turned around to answer:

"No..."

Hearing the answer from the little blind dog, Bai Mushuang's face was obviously dissatisfied, one could even say that she was a little angry, but Bai Mushuang did not try to keep the little blind dog until he had packed up all his things.

Afterwards, the little blind dog carried the things to a wooden cart, and then sat next to his belongings.

The bull orc at the front of the car asked:

"Is everything ready?"

The little blind dog nodded and responded softly:

"All ready, let's go."

In the end, Bai Mushuang just watched the little blind dog leave the straw mat, leaving Bai Mushuang alone with the prey allocated to her for hunting.

Time always passes quickly. Since that separation, the two beasts have rarely had any contact with each other. Bai Mushuang would occasionally ask other beastmen to bring meat to the little blind dog, but the little blind dog always declined.

This made Bai Mushuang angry and sad, but she never went to look for the little blind dog. She always watched the little blind dog busy from afar.

And just as the hunting was going on as usual, Bartos suddenly found Bai Mushuang who was hunting.

Seeing this, Bai Mushuang immediately jumped down from the tall tree.

"Chief Bartos?"

When Bartos saw Bai Mushuang, he said calmly:

"Come on, I'll talk to you."

Bartos' sudden visit made Bai Mushuang feel a little uneasy, so she followed Bartos without saying anything.

Then the two beasts came to a stream, each chose a smooth stone and started talking not far from each other.

Bartos was the first to speak:

"There will be a caravan coming to the northern grasslands soon. You must be careful not to be discovered. I don't like dealing with the mess of your royal family."

After hearing this, Bai Mushuang bowed to Bartos and thanked him:

"Thank you, Patriarch Bartos, for your reminder. I will pay attention to it."

When Bai Mushuang was about to leave, Bartos suddenly said:

"besides..."

After hearing Bartos' words, Bai Mushuang suddenly paused.

"I will pursue the little blind dog, please don't send him anything in the future."

As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Mushuang suddenly turned around and stared at Bartos fiercely.

But Bartos was not angry when he saw this, but instead smiled and looked at Bai Mushuang's angry eyes.

"Why? You don't seem to want me to pursue the little blind dog?"

Obviously, Bartos's words completely annoyed Bai Mushuang, and Bai Mushuang angrily grabbed Bartos' collar.

"you dare!"

Bartos smiled when he heard this, then looked straight at Bai Mushuang and said:

"I gave you a chance! It was you who was indifferent to the little blind dog in the past few months. You so-called royals have been so arrogant and noble all your lives. Since you don't pursue him, don't hinder me from pursuing him! Although the little blind dog is disabled, he is indeed a good orc. I don't care that he can't see, and I don't care about his background."

Bai Mushuang couldn't help it in the end and punched Bartos in the face, and Bartos was knocked to the ground.

Bartos was still not angry after being beaten down. Instead, he was particularly eager to see Bai Mushuang's angry look. Then Bartos continued:

"You look down on that little blind dog from the bottom of your heart, even though he saved your life! You think he is not worthy of you, right?"

After hearing this, Bai Mushuang didn't know what words to refute. She could only raise her fist to try to shut him up. She even wanted to beat him until he gave up the idea. Suddenly, the little blind dog walked out from the other side of the stream.

"stop!"

Although the little blind dog couldn't see, it could clearly distinguish the sounds of fighting.

At this moment, Bai Mushuang suddenly realized why the little blind dog asked her that question that night.

(This bastard actually plotted against me! Even my current situation is part of his plot...)

That’s right, the appearance of the little blind dog was not accidental, but was intentional by Bartos. The reason why Bartos did this was to dispel the little blind dog’s last thoughts about Bai Mushuang.
