Chapter 34 - Coma (1/2)

Ch34 - Coma

Shi Li simply couldn’t believe what he had heard.

Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji had been together, and Zhou Ji had even been… hurt by it?

How could that be possible?!

However, thinking about how heartless Xiong Ye had been last night and adding it to the interactions between Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji this morning, he was also very clear that this might well be true.

Xiong Ye had really gotten together with someone else.

Shi Li just felt that his breath was caught in his chest, refusing to go up or down, and it was incredibly painful.

In his previous life, he and Xiong Ye had become mates on the day of the Beast God Sacrifice and had moved in together on the same day. However, since neither of them had known anything about how two men could do those things together, at the start, absolutely nothing had happened between them.

Although Xiong Ye had grown up living in the collective cave with the elderly and weak members of the tribe, what he had mostly seen were scenes of men and women getting together.

There were some women in the collective cave who were willing to sleep with others in return for just a small piece of meat, so those men wouldn’t go looking for other men. Even when they occasionally helped each other out, at most, they would only use their hands.

At the time, the two of them had remained pure for over a month. Later on, someone had enlightened them and they had finally understood how men did it with other men. After that, they had gotten into fights over the problem of who would be on top and who would be on the bottom.

They tied every single time, and neither of them had been willing to back down.

Later, Xiong He had led the hunting team out on a hunt and encountered a very powerful carnivorous dinosaur. Many people in the hunting team had been bitten to death, and neither Xiong He or Xiong He’s mother made it back. Xiong Ye finally stopped fighting him, and the two of them finally settled into a proper relationship.

It was because of this that he hadn’t been too worried even though Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye were living together.

Xiong Ye didn’t understand these matters, and Zhou Ji was a fool who didn’t even know enough to be afraid.

But now…

Shi Li’s eyes were covered in a haze, and he felt like he was about to explode from anger.

Xiong Ye had actually gotten together with someone else!

How many days had it been? Xiong Ye had really turned his back on him and found himself a new sweetheart!

Shi Li had an impulse to go and fight Xiong Ye right then and there, but at this moment, his leg started to throb again…

Another insect had just bitten him!

Insect bites from this type of insect would make people feel a lot of pain, but Shi Li felt that it was far less painful than what he felt in his heart.

In fact, he really cared for Xiong Ye… but Xiong Ye had turned his back on their feelings.

Shi Li was still thinking about this when he saw Xiong Ye running out of the priest’s cave.

After Xiong Ye returned back to the tribe with Zhou Ji in his arms, he went straight to find the priest, wanting the priest to take examine Zhou Ji.

However, the priest had been unable to find anything wrong.

He spent a lot of time checking over Zhou Ji, then carefully looked over him again, but he didn’t know what was happening to Zhou Ji at all. He wanted to ask Zhou Ji about it… But Zhou Ji was unconscious and wouldn’t wake up.

Zhou Ji’s breathing was becoming weaker and weaker.

The priest felt very powerless. Seeing that Zhou Ji’s expression looked very painful, with both his eyes screwed shut and his body hot and burning all over, he could only suggest, “How about giving him some calming herbs?”

The priest didn’t have many herbs he could use. Recently, he had just added one more type to his repertoire, which was the calming herb that Xiong Qi had eaten.

In Zhou Ji’s case, wound medicine would be useless for him, so the priest could only let him sleep.

At the very least, it could make him a bit more comfortable.

“Alright!” Xiong Ye immediately replied, “Where are the herbs?”

“I only have a small amount of the herbs here, and it might not be enough. You’ll need to go and pick some. You should know where they are, right?” The priest said.

After learning about the existence of such a medicinal herb, the priest had planned to immediately go and gather some, but he had been busy with the Beast God Sacrifice and had had no time. He could only push off the matter until later.

Xiong Ye indeed knew where this kind of herb could be found. He had gathered some with Zhou Ji back then, so he quickly replied, “I’ll go get some right away.”

Even before he had finished speaking, Xiong Ye had already run out of the cave.

Shi Li saw Xiong Ye running out of the priest’s cave and didn’t think twice before following.

Xiong Ye ran extremely quickly, and Shi Li was unable to keep up for a moment-He had fallen last night and suffered an internal injury! Not to mention that he’d been bitten by a lot of insects today!

Shi Li gritted his teeth and simply shifted into his animal form to give chase.

His animal form could run very fast, and he quickly caught up to Xiong Ye. Then, he saw that Xiong Ye had stopped at a certain place and begun to gather herbs.

Shi Li knew that Xiong Ye had learned a lot from the priest. It was because of this that Xiong Ye had taken on the duties of the priest after their tribe had encountered a catastrophe and lost two thirds of their tribe, including the priest, at the hands of people from other tribes.

However, Shi Li didn’t like to play around with these herbs, so he didn’t know anything about them and understood even less.

“Are you picking medicinal herbs for Zhou Ji?” Shi Li asked. Those herbs were going to be used to heal Zhou Ji, right?

Xiong Ye’s body carried Zhou Ji’s scent, and it was mixed with the tangy smell of blood. It really seemed like Xiong Ye had actually hurt Zhou Ji while doing ‘that’…

Xiong Ye had no idea what Shi Li was thinking. At this time, he had no attention to spare for Shi Li and only said, “Yes.”

“Is Zhou Ji really that great?” Shi Li asked.

“Definitely better than you.” Xiong Ye didn’t have to think twice.

After a period of hard work, he had already gathered up quite a lot of herbs… Xiong Ye ignored Shi Li and turned around to run back.

Shi Li saw that Xiong Ye was acting like this and couldn’t hold back the raging fire in his heart any longer. He lashed out and punched a tree nearby.

After such a punch, his fist became bloody, and his bones nearly broke. It was very, very painful, but it still couldn’t match the heartache he felt.

After experiencing this pain, Shi Li calmed down.

He snorted coldly, then looked in the direction that Xiong Ye had run off to, his gaze growing increasingly cold and hard.

Previously, he had always carried a torch for Xiong Ye and couldn’t let him go. He had even wanted to destroy the mating ceremony tomorrow, but now…

Now that Xiong Ye was like this, it was impossible for him to be together with Xiong Ye anymore.

He had originally planned to make sure to treat Xiong Ye well after he became a Beast King once again, but that was already no longer necessary!

He had been reborn and shouldn’t be caught up in his childhood memories of love. His goal should be to become stronger, stronger, and even stronger!

He will become the strongest Beast King and be worshipped and adored by everyone!

When the time came, Xiong Ye and the people from the tribe… He would just let them wallow in their regret!

Perhaps by then, they wouldn’t even exist anymore.

When Shi Li thought of this, he felt that his entire body was charged full of strength. Everything felt different.

As a result, probably because he had been standing still without moving, a good many insects charged towards him, opened their mouths, and bit down!

“Damn it!” Shi Li jumped up in pain and quickly ran towards the river nearby.

He had to wash up!

Xiong Ye didn’t know that Shi Li had experienced a complete mental ‘breakthrough’ after believing that certain things had happened between him and Zhou Ji, and that he had even redefined his life goals.

At this moment, he only had Zhou Ji in his heart, and he was only thinking about Zhou Ji.

He ran back to the priest’s cave, then immediately stuffed the freshly picked herbs he had brought back into Zhou Ji’s mouth.

After stuffing them in, he discovered that Zhou Ji wouldn’t be able to swallow them down like this. He then wanted to use a knife or stick to mash them up, but that would be too slow…

Xiong Ye stuffed the medicinal herbs into his own mouth, chewed for a while, then pressed his own mouth against Zhou Ji’s mouth in order to feed it to him.

Zhou Ji, who was actually still conscious even though he hadn’t spoken up or shown any reaction: “……” His first kiss had disappeared just like that…

Also, how many of these herbs had he fed to Xiong Ye? Now, Xiong Ye was feeding them to him. Could this be considered karma?
