Discussing The Correct Posture To Enjoy Dog Food

Translated by Hua Li ^_~

The ice-cold white began to erode from one corner of the red moon, mercilessly covering the fiery hue as if swallowing the warmth of this world.

Fires blazed on the ground as the orcs gathered around the altar in their most authentic forms. The elderly priest stood at the center of the altar, and when the first prayer of blessing resonated between the heavens and the earth, the orcs gazed up at the moon with solemn expressions.

The Red Moon Festival had begun.

“Kind Beast God, please listen to the voices of all living beings. Your people are diligent and brave, awaiting the arrival of the White Moon with reverence. May our Beast God enjoy peaceful slumber. Merciful Beast God, please hear the hearts of all living beings. Your people are strong and devout, unafraid of the long empty space between the moons, waiting for you to awaken from your dreams…”

The elderly priest slowly danced the blessing dance, the staff guiding the flow of water as it meandered.

As the red moon was eroded to the point where only a faint outline remained, and the air began to chill, the blessing ceremony came to a close.

The elderly priest looked at the soon-to-be adult females and kindly said, “Children, come stand here. Congratulations on passing your youth. The Beast God will bestow upon you the blessings of adulthood, and may you lead happy, healthy lives.”

There were a total of nine young females becoming adults this time.

In order of their birth, the high priest introduced each of them to the Beast God, touching each one’s forehead. They received the blessings of the Beast God, and a drop of water imbued with the power of their origins merged into their brows.

Gou Liang stood among them, with Yue Jin preceding him.

After the water droplet merged into Yue Jin’s forehead, his silvery hair instantly grew by an inch, and his features were subtly adjusted, enhancing the innate beauty of the Moon Fox tribe to even greater perfection.

Although Gou Liang noticed some changes in the three individuals in front of him, Yue Jin’s transformation was by far the most noticeable. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart: Receiving the Beast God’s blessing of adulthood is like undergoing a natural and harmless plastic surgery. It is too much. Look, Several male orcs below couldn’t help but already exclaim in admiration, showing their determined spirit.

The elderly priest’s smile grew more pronounced, clearly quite fond of Yue Jin.

Approaching Gou Liang, his gaze became even warmer, and he gently patted Gou Liang’s head. The elderly priest said, “Good child, close your eyes.”

“Great Beast God, offspring of the Lang family of the Wolf Tribe, Lang Xi, requests your blessing.”

A drop of water, imbued with the power of blessing, emerged from the tip of the elderly priest’s finger and landed with a slight chill on Gou Liang’s forehead. However, it didn’t immediately blend into his body.

The elderly priest was surprised and was about to repeat the blessing when he curiously observed that the droplet on Gou Liang’s forehead suddenly enlarged, forming a massive bubble that enveloped Gou Liang, gently carrying him to the center of the altar, suspended in mid-air.

“Ah-woo!”

In contrast to the exclamations from others, Meng Hao and Lang Xiong became tense when they witnessed this development.

Gou Liang opened his eyes, looking somewhat puzzled as he glanced at the elderly priest. “High Priest?”

“Don’t be afraid, relax your body and accept the Beast God’s blessing.”

The elderly priest was ecstatic. As a priest, he could sense the abundant power of the blessing and the Beast God’s joy towards Gou Liang.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a streak of fiery-red moonlight descended from the heavens and scattered upon the bubble.

Gou Liang felt a warm, soothing sensation throughout his body. It was so comfortable that his body spontaneously relaxed, and he slowly closed his eyes. The flame-like red moonlight danced across his body, shimmering and flickering, as if expressing its delight at the young female’s coming of age. Then, his shoulder-length black hair took on the hue of the red moon, instantly growing down to his waist, strands drifting elegantly without a breeze.

The petite Gou Liang grew several inches taller, and his wrists and ankles were revealed from his well-fitted beast-skin dress. His features shed their last traces of youth, as if every detail had been meticulously sculpted once more by the Beast God. His skin became fair, radiant, and breathtakingly beautiful.

As the red moonfire was consumed, Gou Liang opened his eyes.

In that moment, there was utter silence.

As he gently descended to the ground, Meng Hao howled, and using his tail, he encircled Gou Liang, forbidding other orcs from glimpsing his appearance.

The elderly priest, with a benevolent smile, didn’t intervene but instead looked at the moon in the sky. He expedited the blessings for the remaining young females.

After the blessings, the most important part of the coming-of-age ceremony arrived.

At this point, the adult females would accept the proposals of the male orcs, taking their hands and forming bonds under the Beast God’s gaze.

The adult females had already changed into vivid new attire and walked forward with the accompaniment of their fathers or elder females. Predictably, almost all unmarried male orcs had their eyes fixed on Gou Liang and Yue Jin.

The elderly priest smiled and said, “Children, now you can take your partners. We don’t have much time left with the Beast God.” Hearing this, everyone looked up.

Indeed, they noticed that the red moon was disappearing faster than in previous years. They needed to complete these bonds before the red moon vanished entirely and the Beast God entered slumber, to receive His blessings.

Some orcs seemed disheartened, for it was common for female orcs who hadn’t clearly chosen a mate, to be won through battles. But now, they couldn’t even compete for this.

“Ah-woo!”

“Meng Hao.”

Meng Hao stretched out his tail. Gou Liang couldn’t wait to pounce and Meng Hao lifted him.

Their foreheads touched and at the moment they embraced each other, the moonlight flowed, carving each other’s marks in their hearts.

“The bond was formed successfully!”, The old priest announced.

Meng Hao with his little female in tow, howled and soared into the sky. They circled the tribe, bellowing in front of everyone, leaving no doubt that Gou Liang belonged to him.

“Ha-ha, Slow down…”

Meng Hao transformed back into his human form and forcefully pushed Gou Liang onto the bed. Gou Liang looked at him with amusement, but Meng Hao assertively used one hand to hold Gou Liang’s wrists above his head and unhesitatingly tore off his clothes.

“Lang Xi”

Meng Hao’s rough fingers gently caressed the bond mark on Gou Liang’s chest. His eyes brimmed with joy and moved as he released Gou Liang’s hands, running his fingers through Gou Liang’s hair, and placed a kiss on his forehead. Gou Liang looked down and saw a white pattern of a winged wolf etched on his chest. What surprised Gou Liang, though, was the two red lines adorning the wolf’s forehead – the mark of the Beast God’s son.

But clearly, Meng Hao hadn’t noticed this distinction. He reverently stroked the bond mark and then gently kissed Gou Liang’s chest.

“I’m here…”

Meng Hao said.

Gou Liang smiled and said, “Let me see yours.”

Meng Hao lifted him, placing him on his lap, moved his hair back, and gazed intently at him.

When Gou Liang saw Meng Hao’s mark, he burst into laughter and said, “Dad said that after the bond, your chest should bear my name. Were you thinking of someone else at that moment?”

He playfully poked Meng Hao’s chest, who then lowered his head to take a look and was quite surprised.

Instead of the expected character “Xi,” there was a small pink whirlpool, and it appeared that… Meng Hao looked deeply into the dimples at the corners of Gou Liang’s mouth and suddenly felt that it wasn’t so bad.

“I wasn’t thinking about anyone else.”

Meng Hao kissed his dimples and said softly, “I was thinking, Xiao Keng’er, I’ll make you smile forever and protect you from any hardship.”

Gou Liang also kissed his chest and knelt on his lap, embracing him around the neck, saying, “Me too”

“Meng Hao, I will protect you too, be with you, and do everything in my power to make you happy.”

He kissed Meng Hao’s lips, and in their gaze, there was only each other.

Meng Hao kissed him, and his eyes were hot and he was almost moved to tears at the moment.

But he fought to hold back because the elder priest had told him that an orc who cried in front of a female wasn’t fit to make him happy.

Fearing that he might cry, Gou Liang, who saw him trembling with the effort to hold back, was both moved and worried. He continuously kissed Meng Hao, who then discarded their clothes, using his warm body to provide warmth. He placed his hot palms on Gou Liang’s legs and pressed him under him. He stroked all the skin he had coveted for a long time and held it in his own hands.

Gou Liang moaned softly, and Meng Hao reluctantly let go of his lips. Breathing heavily, he asked, “What’s the matter?”

This sultry voice almost made Gou Liang’s legs go weak. He kissed Meng Hao fervently and then rolled onto him, straddling his lap.

He then, stretched out his devil’s hand – lifted up Meng Hao’s skirt!

– something Gou Liang had wanted to do for a long time!

Subsequently, Gou Liang gazed in awe at Meng Hao’s size – He’s afraid that he will have to suffer today.

However, Gou Liang, who had fasted for almost a year, thought, “Feed me, my dear, even if it means I’ll burst!”

With a triumphant howl, Gou Liang enthusiastically pounced.

The next day.

The first snow of the season fell.

Ga’er sat down, holding his waist, accepting the meat cut by Lang Xiong. He glanced at the land that had turned white overnight, with a worried expression. “I wonder how Xi’er is doing.”

Lang Xiong replied, “Don’t worry about it. I have to say, that kid Hao’s cooking skills are pretty good. He won’t let Xiaoxi go hungry.”

Ga’er glared at him, “You’re criticizing my cooking, aren’t you?”

Lang Xiong chuckled and was about to tease him a bit when Lang Fei returned hurriedly, carrying a basin of food in his mouth.

Ga’er immediately let go of Lang Xiong and asked his son, “Didn’t we ask you to take this food to your brother? Why did you bring it back?”

“A-woo.”

Lang Fei placed the basin on the ground and then ran back into the house.

“This kid, don’t you want to eat anymore?” Ga’er shouted at him. He asked his younger son, “What did you say to your brother just now?”

Lang Xiong had a hint of a mischievous smile in his eyes as he hugged Ga’er and said, “Hurry up and eat. It’s freezing out here. What does it matter what they’re doing?”

Ga’er understood at a glance, blushed and cursed: “Damn it!”

“Meng Hao, you haven’t….Huh, I don’t know how to feel sorry for Xiaoxi….You better teach him a lesson later.”

Lang Xiong agreed.

Meanwhile, poor Lang Fei was inside, red ears and all, looking on anxiously. His whole body was ready to burst into flames.

He hadn’t expected to stumble upon such an intense session between his big brother and Meng Hao. Until now, he couldn’t shake off Meng Hao’s low growls and Gou Liang’s electrifying moans. He was worried, too. He thought, “Has my brother had anything to eat from last night until now? If it’s been going on since last night..he will be starving.”

Before he could continue berating Meng Hao, he heard the sounds of his father and his dad “warming” each other up in the room next door.

A-woo…

Lang Fei lay down, ears drooping.

This White Moon season, with his big brother not at home, his dad was no longer concerned about him – an ordinary male cub had no need for special care.

Thinking about enduring this sound for an entire White Moon season, Lang Fei felt a sense of hopelessness: Please let me grow up quickly, Beast God, QAQ.

***

“Ugh… Meng Hao…”

A massive entity pulled away from Gou Liang’s body, and the exhausted Gou Liang whimpered as he strained to open his wet eyelashes. Tears blurred his vision as he looked at Meng Hao.

Meng Hao’s eyes darkened, but this time he held back and carefully wrapped Gou Liang in a thick, warm fur blanket, cradling him in his arms. “Are you cold?”

Gou Liang shook his head. “Just tired… you’ve worn me out.”

Meng Hao smiled and kissed Gou Liang’s lips. After a while, he gently pulled away and said, “Rest for a while. I’ll go make some food for you, and you can eat before going back to sleep, okay?”

Gou Liang responded with a couple of “hmms.” By the time Meng Hao returned, he was already fast asleep.

Although he didn’t want to wake Gou Liang, not eating would mean Gou Liang couldn’t maintain a normal body temperature during the White Moon season. So, with a heavy heart, Meng Hao woke him up and fed him. Gou Liang was wrapped like a cocoon, and Meng Hao wanted to make sure there was no way for his arms and legs to stretch out.

After a hearty meal, Gou Liang, who was covered in sweat again, said, “Take me for a bath.”

Meng Hao hesitated for a moment but ended up lifting him.

*

Each adult male would build their own stone house, and initially, Meng Hao had planned to live alone. However, in preparation to live with Gou Liang, he put a lot of effort into the new house .

When each male reaches adulthood, he will build his own stone house with his own hands. Meng Hao wanted to take Meng Hui out from the priest’s place to live alone, so the stone house was built with two rooms and one living room. Later, Meng Hui moved away from here as an adult. Meng Hao planned to leave the tribe and did not renovate the house. However, this time, for the sake of Gou laing, Meng Hao, who had never cared much about where he lived, put a lot of effort into his new house.

The design was naturally according to Gou Liang’s wishes.

The house maintained its original two-room, one-hall structure, but the room that used to belong to Meng Hui had been turned into a bathroom. According to Gou Liang’s request, Meng Hao had dug a large pit and enclosed it with thick, smooth wooden boards, big enough to accommodate even the beastly form of Meng Hao.

When you opened the door, it was filled with steam—a natural hot spring!

A few days ago, Gou Liang had met a priest from the Red Rock Tribe at the Red Moon Gathering. The priest had given Gou Liang a holy stone. Gou Liang had given it to the Elder Priest’s successor, Sang Mi.

Meng Hao, with determination in his heart, thought that Gou Liang should have the same as what other females had, so he went to the Red Leaf Priest.

After some negotiation, he exchanged the stone for a large Red Rock. After renovating the house, Gou Liang had asked Meng Hao to split the Red Rock into two pieces. One was placed under his pillow, and the other was thrown into the bath, creating this natural hot spring.

After bathing, Meng Hao carefully dried him, even ensuring that his roots of hair that had gotten wet were thoroughly dried before he dared put Gou Liang back in bed.

Meng Hao hugged him, saying, “When Lang Fei came over, it was probably because Father and Dad were worried and wanted him to come over. Have a good rest, and I’ll go check-in with them and send a basket of fHuits over….”

As he rambled on, he found that Gou Liang had already fallen asleep.

You must be exhausted.

Thinking of this, Meng Hao felt distressed but also felt a sense of pride. He kissed the corner of Gou Liang’s mouth several times before standing up and leaving.

While I’m away, pay attention to any threats and don’t let anything near our home. Without Xi’s permission, don’t go in either, alright?”

“Big brother?”

Meng Hao’s house was nearby, and in the morning, after having slept soundly without any worries, Meng Hui had arrived for breakfast. However, when he saw his brother, he turned red and scratched his head. “Why are you here?”

Meng Hao had heard the commotion of his arrival and came out to see him. He tossed breakfast to his younger brother, who was waiting to be fed, and said heartlessly, “Hui, you need to learn to cook.”

Hui: “…”

He didn’t need his brother to say it; Meng Hui had already deeply realized the seriousness and urgency of learning to cook.

Seeing him nod, Meng Hao said, “I’m going to check on Father Ga’er and the priest while I’m gone. If you notice anything, be alert. Don’t let anything come close to our home. And don’t go inside without Xi’s permission, understand?”

Meng Hui nodded vigorously.

Meng Hao then took his leave.

Meng Hui stared at the white moon outside and felt a little down. In the end, he couldn’t eat the food his brother cooked…

Feeling this way, Meng Hui started to wolf down his meal. He needed to finish his last breakfast before the heat of his food was stolen away.

When Gou Liang woke up, the White Moon had just climbed the horizon.

Meng Hao was not there, but when he pushed the blanket aside, he didn’t feel cold. When he looked down, he found a red rock that had a hole, tied with a rope, hanging around his neck.

Touching the warm stone in his hands, Gou Liang smiled.

Meng Hao entered and was greeted by the sight of Gou Liang’s cheerful face. He paused and then sped up.

“Little Keng’er.” Meng Hao’s tone was gentler than ever before, holding him like a rare treasure, wanting to hold it tight with all his strength but not daring to use too much force. “Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you have a headache? Is your back sore?”

Gou Liang, who was still happily resting in his arms, said, “Hungry.”

Meng Hao quickly got up to bring food inside, but Gou Liang stopped him, saying he wanted to eat outside. Meng Hao picked him up, and wrapped his lower body with animal skins, not allowing the cold air to touch even his feet. This was because he didn’t intend to let him touch the ground.

Gou Liang didn’t mind being pampered.

The White Moon season was a time for the orcs to procreate, and no orc wanted to go outside. Those who had mates were engaged in activities to keep warm with the females, and single orcs stayed inside their homes, eating self-cooked dark delicacies and hugging themselves.

Gou Liang, who was happily wrapped in Meng Hao’s embrace while having his meal, expressed, “I love the White Moon season!”

Not far away, Meng Hui, who was so injured by his dark cooking that he couldn’t eat and didn’t fall asleep in time, suddenly heard an indescribable cry.

He suddenly understood why the orcs’ houses were so far apart – it was really necessary!

However…

Meng Hui looked at the white moon outside the window sadly, and cried bitter tears because of his decision to secretly shorten the distance between the houses because he couldn’t live without his brother.

But what he didn’t realize was that after barely making it through the night, he was about to face even greater torture.

A distinct aroma wafted in the air, making his black, golden eyes lock onto his dear big brother’s house. He scratched the ground with his paws. He wanted food!
