Living Together

After carving out the final hole in the wall, they used mud and stones to build a fireplace at the entrance of the cave, with the chimney designed to exit through the back of the house.

Lin Ye had also finished her planning. The storage room for miscellaneous items could be kept simple, just a regular thatched room. The living room would have a fireplace installed, while her bedroom would be fitted with underfloor heating.

Such a complex design was much more troublesome than building a simple thatched cottage. If she were to do such a large amount of work alone, it would take her over a month to finish. But now, with the help of more than ten strong female beastmen, it took only four to five days to erect this three-room house.

At first, the beastmen didn't understand why Lin Ye wanted to build such a complex dwelling. However, once the house was built and Lin Ye showed them how to use the fireplace, everyone instantly admired her to no end.

How could she be so smart as to think of such an excellent way to keep warm?

This meant that in the future, they would never have to fear the cold of winter again!

After finishing Lin Ye's house, everyone had gained experience. Next, Lin Ye only needed to drop by occasionally to give some guidance.

The construction of houses in the Miao Tribe began to take place in full swing.

At this time, Lin Ye was planning to move into her new house. Staying in Yang's cave all the time was truly too troublesome for him.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing her words, Yang was not only unhappy but also looked aggrieved.

"Are you disliking my cave for being too small, so you don't want to stay anymore?" Yang accused.

"I don't mean that, I really don't!" Lin Ye explained, "During this period, I've been staying in your cave, forcing you to squeeze in with the other beastmen. That's been too troublesome for you. Now that the house is built, if I move to the new place, you can return to live here. Isn't that great?"

"Not great at all!"

But Yang didn't know how to explain what was not great about it, so he could only mutter, "I also want to live in the new house."

Lin Ye suddenly realized that Yang also wanted to live in the new house. This was understandable; the beastmen were still very curious and excited about these houses. Moreover, the new house was much better than the cave in terms of both spaciousness and comfort.

Lin Ye said, "Then you can live in the new house, and I'll stay in the cave."

Yang treated her so well, so it was only right to let him have the house. She hadn't known he wanted to live there before, but now that she knew, she would naturally prioritize him.

"I didn't mean that!" Yang said quickly.

Lin Ye looked at him in confusion.

Yang lowered his head and whispered, "There are three rooms. Can't we each have one?"

Most beastmen only built a single room, and only Lin Ye had built three rooms at once.

Actually, it wasn't that it was impossible, but Lin Ye felt a bit hesitant, feeling that living with a member of the opposite sex wasn't very appropriate.

But when she saw Yang's clear blue eyes, she felt she was overthinking. Yang clearly had no ill intentions toward her, yet she was always letting her mind wander!

Moreover, this three-room house was built with separate rooms. There was nothing wrong with her and Yang having one room each; they would just be living a bit closer to each other.

Lin Ye nodded and said to him with a smile, "Alright then, let's live in the new house together."
