"Roasted meat was delicious," Sandy answered while still sobbing. Although she did not know why Gu Mengmeng mentioned roasted meat when they were talking about the yellow sauce, she felt the need to speak up for the roasted meat being the first, kind-hearted female to try it in person.
"How was that consider delicious? It was just something to get by with living. Just wait until I make more delicious food for you in the future." Gu Mengmeng patted Sandy's back. Looking at Sandy's shining eyes with the mention of food, Gu Mengmeng had realized that nothing was better than using food to comfort a foodie.
Sandy looked at Gu Mengmeng with anticipation written all in her eyes. She swallowed her saliva but shook her head and said, "I am just a female half-orc, I don't deserve to be treated so nicely."
Gu Mengmeng tilted her head and asked while blinking, "What's wrong with a female half-orc?"
Sandy touched her fluffy ears in an inferior way, she wanted to cry but forced out a smile and said, "It's difficult for a female half-orc to bear offspring. I have matured for two years and did not have any single child until now. This was why I was constantly bullied by Nina, even my males were sneered at by Nina's."
Gu Mengmeng looked at the lonely Sandy and her heart ached a little. She recalled Nina's looks and compared it with Sandy's. With her aesthetics, Sandy was much more beautiful than Nina, but that Puffy Hair Nina was called the most beautiful female in the tribe, while Sandy got bullied until she could barely raise her head.
At first, Gu Mengmeng had thought that the aesthetics of the males in the Beast World was problematic and Nina's cross eyes, upturned nose and yellow teeth were deemed to be the standard of beauty. But from what she heard now, it seemed like the most beautiful female in the tribe was just a different extent of evolution?
Nina had no animal traits on her, while Sandy had a pair of fluffy bear ears. She was called a half-orc just because of the pair of ears that had not evolved into human form? So she was considered to be of a lower status? So she was bullied by the ugly Nina?
What the heck, so what if Sandy had difficulty reproducing? Her own males did not even look down on her, wasn't Nina, an outsider, going too far?!
"How many children does Nina have?" Gu Mengmeng raised her head and asked.
The hand that was touching her ears became more forceful unconsciously, and a bloodstain was formed on her fluffy ears but answered Gu Mengmeng as though she did not realize it at all, "Nina had matured in the same year as me, she had given birth to a nest of eaglets for Quentin last year, but none survived last year due to some unknown reason." A faint jealousy could be heard in Sandy's voice.
A nest…
Gu Mengmeng was shocked by the quantifier.
"It is as good as none if all did not survive and how could she laugh at you?" Gu Mengmeng did not care less about rubbing a bottle of chili sauce onto Nina's wounds. Nina had never showed mercy when she was bullying Sandy, now Gu Mengmeng would even poke her soft bone to make Sandy happy.
"But…" Sandy felt that Gu Mengmeng's logic was not.. wrong? Even though Nina was the perfect female, she did not produce a single cub for the tribe. How could she laugh at her?
"Ah, stop saying 'but' Gu Mengmeng nudged Sandy with her shoulder and interrupted her little worry. Then, she cupped her hands around her mouth and whispered to Sandy, "Sandy, do you still have the pads for estrus? Lend me one, my current one is barely withstanding."
Sandy had just noticed the zigzag bloodstains on Gu Mengmeng's thighs and quickly nodded her head. She babbled like a machine gun, "Yes, yes yes yes I do have. I will go and ask Bode to help you take it."
"Eh…" Gu Mengmeng wanted to stop Sandy, it was so damn embarrassing to ask a male to help her take sanitary pads.
But Sandy had dashed out of Elvis's cave like a wisp of wind and ran towards Bode whom was waiting for her at the edge of Elvis's territory. While running, she yelled, "Bode, quickly go and help me take some pads for estrus, Gu Mengmeng's flow is too heavy and she need that pad, take more!"
