Chapter 383 Arrangements Completed
Xiong Zhan had already prepared himself for Xiong Zhi to reject him, since before this, Zhi had always treated him like a younger brother.
"It's okay, if you can't accept it right away..." Xiong Zhan didn't even hear what he just said, but forced a smile and said.
Wait, what did Zhi just say?
Did he say he promised him?
Xiong Zhan looked up in disbelief, his voice trembling slightly, "What...what did you just say?"
Seeing his stunned expression, Xiong Zhi pursed her lips slightly, a smile appearing on her face. "I said, okay."
Xiong Zhan suddenly stood up, his tall figure instantly overshadowing the shadow of the sub-beastman. Xiong Zhi was startled by his sudden action and staggered back a few steps.
Just as he was about to fall backward, Xiong Zhi instinctively reached out and grabbed him. Xiong Zhan reacted quickly, grabbing Xiong Zhi's arm and pulling him back into a tight embrace.
Xiong Zhan looked down at the still-shaken sub-orc in his arms, tightened his grip, and gently nuzzled the top of the sub-orc's head with his chin, a gesture full of reassurance.
The sub-orc looked up, glared at Xiong Zhan slightly, and pinched his arm hard with his fingers, but the male orc's arm was full of muscles and he couldn't move it.
Xiong Zhi was slightly annoyed. "Why are you so agitated?"
Xiong Zhan still couldn't believe that Xiong Zhi had actually agreed to him. He said in a slightly coquettish tone, "Brother just agreed, you can't go back on your word!"
That sticky tone and his towering height of over 1.9 meters were really mismatched.
"I won't back out, but let me go first!" Xiong Zhi rolled her eyes at Xiong Zhan, somewhat annoyed.
Xiong Zhan chuckled and pulled Xiong Zhi's hand onto his arm. "Brother, pinch it again. This time you'll definitely be able to pinch it!"
Hearing him say that, Xiong Zhi looked at him strangely and reached out to touch Xiong Zhan's forehead. "You're not sick, so why are you looking for a pinch?"
Xiong Zhan didn't care what Xiong Zhi was thinking! He happily rubbed his forehead against Xiong Zhi's hand, and sweet words flowed from his mouth as if he had unlocked his full potential, "Brother is the best, I love brother the most!"
Xiong Zhi looked a little uncomfortable at what he said, and reached out to push his arm. "Okay, you should go back to your room. I'm going to tidy up and get ready to rest."
Xiong Zhan's eyes darkened, and he readily agreed, "Then brother should go to sleep early."
Xiong Zhi blushed as he kept calling her "brother," "I've never seen you call me 'brother' so often before..."
To be precise, after Shi Ming appeared, Xiong Zhan rarely called him "brother" anymore.
Xiong Zhan said matter-of-factly, "Before, I wanted you to be my sub-beastman, so of course I couldn't call you brother anymore. Now that you've become mine, I can call you whatever I want!"
He somewhat forcefully pulled Xiong Zhi closer to him, nuzzling her head against his shoulder repeatedly, like a broken record, "Brother, brother, brother..."
Xiong Zhi's heart softened at his words, and seeing his expression, she couldn't bring herself to say anything to stop him from calling her that. She let the blush on her cheeks spread all the way to her ears.
Ever since the two of them had a serious talk, Xiong Zhan has become extremely clingy. Apart from his work at the training camp, he spends almost every day by Xiong Zhi's side, like a little tail.
In the office, Lin Baiyan sat in his chair, looking at Xiong Zhi, who had a slightly annoyed expression, and then at Xiong Zhan, who was smiling broadly beside him. He felt a little confused.
He put down his pen. "What's wrong?"
Not wanting to make a fool of herself in front of the High Priest, Xiong Zhi shook her head and said nothing. She took out a beautiful white cloth from the basket behind her and said, "High Priest, look at the finished products I've made these past few days."
Oh? So fast?
It seems like he just finished talking to Xiong Zhi about establishing a weaving bureau three days ago. This efficiency is too high!
When he finally got his hands on it, Lin Baiyan was absolutely stunned. This...this isn't the fabric he had seen before?
That's not right. He remembered that the manufacturing plant hadn't finished making the loom yet.
Lin Baiyan examined the fabric in his hand again. It should be woven with the simplest warp and weft threads. He remembered that this weaving method was in the booklet he gave to Xiong Zhi.
After a careful inspection, he realized that it couldn't really be considered fabric in the true sense; it was rather rough and thin, but it was still a huge leap forward.
As Lin Baiyan flipped through the book, Xiong Zhi earnestly explained, "Based on the illustrations in the booklet the High Priest gave me, I had Zhan Lin make me a wooden frame, which is perfect for weaving cloth."
"However, the wool yarn in the tribe is a bit rough, and the holes it makes are quite large. So I thought that after weaving it, I would use a small brush to spread out the wool yarn, which would cover up the small holes."
Lin Baiyan put down the wool cloth in his hand, looked up at Xiong Zhi in front of him, and praised her without reservation: "That's a good idea. Maybe you can try pounding it with a wooden mallet, then scalding it with boiling water. After drying it, it should become stronger."
Xiong Zhi listened intently to Lin Baiyan, her eyes filled with admiration. "That's right, how come I didn't think of that before?"
Lin Baiyan smiled but didn't say anything.
"By the way, these are the members of the High Priest of Weavers that I have temporarily selected. The High Priest will need to check them again." Xiong Zhi said, taking out a small booklet from the animal skin bag and handing it to Lin Baiyan.
Lin Baiyan took it and glanced through it briefly. "Are there other sub-beastmen races on this?"
Xiong Zhi nodded. "The notice in the city does not restrict participation to beastmen of the Giant Bear Clan. The City of Ten Thousand Beasts is a collective city, and it makes no sense for the Giant Bear Clan to monopolize a workshop."
Hearing him say that, Lin Baiyan's gaze softened even more as he looked at the two of them. "You're right. Let's have these people you selected report to the Weaving Bureau tomorrow."
"Thank you, High Priest!" Xiong Zhi suppressed his excitement. Finally, he was going to have a job.
However, arrangements also need to be made for the other members of the tribe.
Xiong Zhi hesitated for a moment before speaking, "High Priest, the remaining orcs of the Giant Bear Clan have not yet been taken care of..." Although it sounded a bit presumptuous, he couldn't ignore the needs of his people.
Lin Baiyan looked at him with a smile, "How about this, I'll talk to the company commanders of a few companies, and the remaining giant bear orcs will be scattered among the companies. Is that alright?"
This would both prevent the giant bear tribe from banding together and promote greater harmony among the various races, achieving two goals at once.
A hint of joy flashed in Xiong Zhi's eyes, and she replied repeatedly, "Yes, yes."
"Alright, let's do it this way for now. Is there anything else?" Lin Baiyan said.
