Chapter 102

Cloudy's proposal to move did not meet any opposition; Titus was very willing to help her move. However, the issue arose with the distance... Although the settlement looked close when standing on the cliff looking down, she couldn't climb up and down the cliff like the wild people here, rock climbing is completely different from tree climbing...

There was a thought of making a basket or rope ladder, but it was too dangerous. The most realistic way was for her to start from the settlement gate, follow the cliff westward, find the lowest point, then climb up the mountain to the top cave. According to Cloudy's instructions, it would take approximately 3-4 hours. Although the distance was short, climbing this cliff mountain from the gentle slope was relatively steep.

It was definitely not practical to go back and forth every day; she couldn't commute to the settlement daily but had to stay on the cliff for a long time until the temperature dropped. It was like going out to escape the summer heat.

The summer escape plan was almost immediately put into action; Titus seemed even more anxious than her, as if fearing for her life during the rainy season. Two days ago, when it suddenly became hot enough to faint, Titus took her to cool off, and the next day, he gathered some idle mothers and the two children who hadn't participated in the third hunt to help. This was something Cloudy had never experienced before, being surrounded by a large number of villagers to build houses on the mountain, and when they reached the mountaintop, she basically didn't need to do anything. She just needed to squat nearby, give a few instructions, stick out her tongue, and relax...

It was indeed a good place here; even without entering the cave, the mountaintop was much cooler than below because of the strong wind and sparse vegetation, making the air less humid. When the wind blew, Cloudy could at least breathe normally. Titus and the others helped Cloudy set up a high rack tent made of animal skins next to a small cave downhill.

They were much more efficient than Cloudy; they brought wood and animal skins from the foot of the mountain, so there was no need to search for them temporarily. In less than an hour, the conical tent was built, and to protect Cloudy, they added a circle of wooden fences and stone walls around the tent. In addition to the basic tent, everyone brought a lot of food, all neatly hung on the rack, dried meat for Cloudy.

Sitting in the shade of a tree, Cloudy watched the wild people bustling around. Half a year ago, when she was still crawling on the green slope, she couldn't have imagined that one day someone would take care of her...

Half a year...

She looked at Titus, who was spreading leaves on the tent, they had been together for almost half a year. How should she put it... thriving? Perhaps that wasn't the right way to describe the relationship between people. From initially resisting the settlement to now being completely integrated, Titus saw her living so peacefully and happily in the settlement that he no longer showed any hostility towards the settlement. It seemed as if as long as she stayed safe and sound in the settlement, he didn't care what happened.

Cloudy shifted her toes, and even the scorching weather couldn't hide her sudden sense of joy. As they built, Titus even asked her if she wanted to stay inside the cave because.
Sorry, I can't help with translations.
At the bottom, Titus kicked the wall hard, slowing down the impact of the fall.

This physical ability is enviable no matter how many times you see it. After setting her down, Titus suddenly squatted down and rolled vigorously in the ankle-high water flow, which startled Cloudy: "It's cold, don't..." Before she could finish her sentence, Titus bent over and pounced, embracing her tightly: "Cold, only when Cloudy hugs!"

The damp body was still not cool enough, like a chunk of magma just rolled into the sea. The damp magma also reddened Cloudy's face, although it was not very noticeable in the cave illuminated by the blue light.

Seemingly afraid that he was still too hot, Titus simply lay down hugging Cloudy tightly, curled up in the waterway: "It's been a long time since I hugged someone... Cloudy feels so cold, like she's dead."

"..."

The silver-blue cave, the serene and fresh environment, with the sound of flowing water in the ears. It was a perfect setting for a romantic rendezvous, but Titus, being a savage, dispelled the romantic atmosphere with just one sentence.

"You should leave quickly, you'll freeze. You'll be the one to die." Cloudy struggled to get up, not forgetting to kick Titus in the armpit. "Get out, get out quickly!"

"Cloudy is chasing me again! Why!" Titus wriggled in the water, lamenting.

"Because I'm afraid you'll die!"
