I transmigrated into a beast world, hated by everyone, and was eaten by a shameless snake.

However, they also knew that if they didn't have an orc partner to live in the animal skin tent, they would freeze to death.

Only when they have orc mates will they transform into beast form, allowing the females to hide under their bellies for warmth, thus surviving the long and cold snow season.

This is why the other two said they needed to find several orcs.

The next day, the fox tribe members went out to gather again. This time, they gathered all the edible wild vegetables and grasses, whether old or young.

Because they knew that if they didn't eat these, they would only face death.

Even if they eat these things, it's hard to survive; it's just a gamble.

Leng Ran and Xie Yungui, along with their clansmen, finally stockpiled enough firewood, so they wouldn't have to worry about it during the snowy season.

The weather is gradually getting colder. Because of the cold weather, Leng Yi'an is unwilling to move and spends his days lying on the kang (heated brick bed) at home.

"Xiao An has hardly moved around lately." Xie Yungui was very worried. Although he knew that snakes on Earth hibernate in winter, this was the beast world. Would they do that here too?

"It's alright, Agui, you don't need to worry about him. The cub's resistance isn't as strong as that of the beastmen. The snake-clan's little beastmen basically hibernate during the snowy season," Leng Ran explained.

"And you? Do you hibernate too?"

"Yes, but it won't be a complete hibernation; it will just reduce the amount of exercise. If it were to completely hibernate, wouldn't it be waiting to be killed if the enemy attacked?" Leng Ran replied with a smile.

"That's true. In that case, things will be much better once Xiao An can transform into human form."

"Yes, that's right. So, Agui, you don't need to worry. Also, I spend the snowy season in human form because the house is warm and I won't get cold. Otherwise, my beast form would be very cold."

"I understand!" Snakes are cold-blooded animals, so their bodies are naturally ice-cold.

These past few days, Leng Ran has been staying at Xie Yungui's house. The tribe members have already accepted their relationship. Xie Yungui knows that everyone has misunderstood, but he hasn't explained anything.

The more you explain, the worse it gets; besides, the kids don't want to hear it anyway.

When Xie Yungui got up in the morning, he went out into the yard. There was already a layer of frost on the ground, and he was already feeling a bit cold.

"Agui, why are you up so early? You can sleep a little longer; there's nothing to do anyway." Leng Ran walked in carrying firewood.

"No, I can't sleep." Xie Yungui lit the fire and then boiled a pot of water.

The kang (heated brick bed) was not cold; it was very warm. At this moment, the tribespeople finally understood the importance and use of the kang.

The children didn't want to get off the kang (heated brick bed); they all stayed huddled up on it.

When Xie Yungui went to see it, he saw a large group of little rabbits huddled together, which melted his heart.

At night, the north wind howled, but the houses in the Wangshan tribe remained warm and cozy.

Xie Yungui's visibility was poor at night, so Leng Ran blocked the door. The door was made of a piece of bamboo, which was used to block the view, and then straw mats and animal hides were used to cover it up, so that no wind could get in.

The windows were also covered, with only the area where the roof pillars were built allowing ventilation, but the wind wouldn't blow inside.

Xie Yungui was really cold. He had already lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed), which was warm. He put the little black snake and the little black wolf in the middle and covered them with quilts.

Leng Ran looked at Xie Yungui, whose head was wrapped in animal skin, with only his nose and eyes showing, and found him exceptionally cute.

When I woke up the next morning, the earth was covered in white snow; the long snow season had begun.

"Wow, so many white things! Daddy, can we eat them?" The little black wolf came out; the little black wolf in its beast form was still cold-resistant.

"It's edible, but it probably won't taste good." He had eaten snow shavings when he was a child, and they didn't taste good. The original owner of this body had also eaten them when he was starving, and they tasted even worse.

"Then I'm going to take a big bite!" Xie Chuyang said, and walked towards the yard.

Then, with a "plop," he disappeared from sight, falling directly into the snow.

The snow is now knee-deep, completely burying the wolf cubs.

"Ugh, Daddy, I'm scared!" Xie Chuyang's voice rang out, and Xie Yungui went over and picked him up.

"Did you eat snow?" Xie Yungui asked, looking at Xie Chuyang, whose nose was covered in snow.

"I ate it, but it had no flavor and was very cold!"

"Yes, that's it. Don't eat it anymore!" Xie Yungui patted the snow off him and put him in the corridor.

Xie Yungui wore a cotton-padded coat, trousers, and shoes that he had made himself, and then put on an animal skin over them, along with an animal skin hat. Although he looked bulky, he wasn't cold.

Leng Ran walked into the yard with a shovel. He was wearing the same clothes as Xie Yungui, except that he was wearing black yak hide.

"Agui, it's too cold outside. Come inside and I'll shovel the snow and clear a path so it'll be easier to get in and out!" Leng Ran said, and then started shoveling snow.

"No need, I'll go check on my people!" Xie Yungui said, and then walked out of the courtyard.

Xie Chuyang didn't want to leave, and instead watched Leng Ran sweep the snow.

"Father!" Xie Yungui said.

"What's wrong?" Leng Ran asked.

"Father, are you and Dad going to have a baby brother during the snow season?" Xie Chuyang asked.

"Who told you that?"

"Ah Tian said that Aunt Ah Xin and Uncle Ah Mao are going to have a baby during the snow season."

"Your father and I are content with you two; we'll talk about the rest later." Leng Ran immediately understood that the child was probably afraid of feeling insecure.

"It's alright, Father. If there are any younger brothers, I can take care of them."

"No, let's talk about it when you're older."

"Oh well!"

Xie Chuyang didn't understand why he was different from his father and his father-in-law. His younger brother was a black snake, and he was a black wolf. In the tribe, only he was different.

But Dad said that he was Dad's child, no matter what he looked like, he was Dad's son.

Xie Yungui didn't tell the cub about the little black wolf's identity, not because he didn't want to, but because Xie Chuyang was too young and might not understand even if he told him.

We can tell him when he grows up. As for that female, she's crazy and probably doesn't even know who the father of the child is!

Xie Yungui had just arrived at the entrance of the children's dormitory when he heard the sounds of the little rabbits playing, along with the low scolding of the old beastmen.

"You lot, don't kick the quilts too hard, or you'll ruin them and there won't be any left to cover yourselves with."

Xie Yungui actually understood. When he was a child, his favorite thing to do was kick off the blankets while sleeping. He kicked several holes in the blankets at the orphanage, and as a result, he was often spanked.

Xie Yungui lifted the curtain and went inside: "Don't kick off the blankets, or I'll beat you up."

Supplies are scarce during the snow season, especially items like blankets.

"Chief Agui, we were wrong!" the little rabbits apologized, their ears drooping.

"We just found the blankets soft and liked to play with them! We're sorry, Chief Agui."

"You can't play with that. Blankets are for keeping you warm. If you damage them, you'll get cold. You're all good kids, so don't do that again."

"Thank you, Chief Agui, we understand!"

How could Xie Yungui really bear to blame these cute little rabbits? However, what needed to be said still had to be said.

"Uncle, after they wake up, fold the blankets and put them on the other side so they won't get in the way of playing."

"The chieftain is right, we'll stack them up right now."

Don't think the beastmen are lazy; it's just that it's the first time they've used such a blanket, and they don't know how to use it, so Xie Yungui has to teach them.

After all, in previous years, they would huddle together in some cave to get through the snowy season.
