Chapter 45 - Mystery Man (2/2)

Seeing that Zhou Ji was very calm, Xiong Ye was immediately relieved.

Before, when Shi Li said that Zhou Ji was that man’s child, he had noticed that Zhou Ji and that man looked very similar. He had really been a little scared, worrying that the man would take Zhou Ji away.

Fortunately, the man hadn’t done so.

“Zhou Ji, I’m going hunting. I’ll bring you some delicious food later.” Xiong Ye said. Although they had encountered such a thing, he still had to go hunting. This was a grand matter that involved their stomachs!

“Alright.” Zhou Ji nodded.

Xiong Ye was thoroughly relieved as he left the tribe. The rest of the tribe also resumed their respective tasks.

People from primitive society were probably accustomed to life and death, so they had a very high level of adaptability… Zhou Ji was just thinking about this when the priest came over, “Zhou Ji!”

Zhou Ji: “……” He had been caught again.

Although the people in the tribe had experienced a fright, life still went on as normal. Shi Li, on the other hand, wasn’t living so comfortably.

Shi Li had some level of understanding of Xiang Tian. He knew that this Beast King wasn’t tyrannical by nature, and facts from his previous life had proved this-In his past life, Xiang Tian had been in a towering rage due to how the Big Bear Tribe had given Zhou Ji the cold shoulder, but he hadn’t done anything to the tribe in retaliation.

Additionally, he knew that Xiang Tian would die soon, so he looked down on Xiang Tian a little.

All of these things added up, which was why he had spoken out about Zhou Ji’s identity.

However, things developed in a completely different direction to his imagination.

In his previous life, Xiang Tian had attached so much importance to Zhou Ji. But in this life, he actually… disdained Zhou Ji?

What was going on?

Although Xiang Tian having such a reaction was actually quite normal, his current behavior was too different from how he had acted in his previous life. This made Shi Li very nervous.

Xiang Tian had no idea what Shi Li was thinking. He brought Shi Li a distance away from the Big Bear Tribe, then tossed Shi Li directly onto the ground. “Speak. How did you know who I am?”

Shi Li insisted, “Zhou Ji’s mother spoke of it.”

As soon as Shi Li spoke up, he was given a kick by Xiang Tian. “Nonsense. She had no clue who I was!”

Shi Li’s eyes were wide open with shock. In his previous life, Xiang Tian hadn’t said anything like that! In his previous life, Xiang Tian had said that he really liked Zhou Ji’s mother and had only left for a few years because something had happened within his own tribe. He had said that he had come back to look for both mother and son…

Exactly what had gone wrong?

These kinds of things that weren’t under his control made Shi Li feel very uncomfortable. And at this time, Xiang Tian kicked Shi Li once again, sending him flying, “Speak!”

Shi Li immediately answered, “Zhou Ji said so. Zhou Ji stole my mate, and before, he mentioned that his father was very powerful…”

“Don’t lie!” Xiang Tian kicked him again.

Shi Li realized that Xiang Tian wouldn’t believe his words, but he also couldn’t just say that he had been reborn.

“If you still don’t speak up, I’ll break your arms and legs.” Xiang Tian said.

“I’ll tell you! A mystery man told me. I don’t know who he is.” Shi Li wanted to purposely involve another Beast King and set it up so that Xiang Tian would fight with them, but looking at Xiang Tian’s current appearance, he was also worried that if he said too much, Xiang Tian would simply kill him off. He could only keep his words vague and say that a mystery man had spoken about Xiang Tian’s identity and had even taught him a few things.

Xiang Tian kicked him a few more times, but Shi Li gritted his teeth and didn’t say anything else. Even so, his behavior seemed to indicate that he indeed knew something else…

Xiang Tian wasn’t a patient person. He wanted to kill Shi Li right away, but at this moment, he suddenly found something strange about Shi Li.

Shi Li… seemed to be spontaneously absorbing the energy from their surroundings?

The energy in his body was on the verge of collapse and had constantly been leaking out. However, this energy was actually being absorbed by Shi Li.

Xiang Tian stared at Shi Li in shock, then knocked him unconscious with a slap.

After knocking Shi Li out, Xiang Tian mulled over everything for awhile and returned to the Big Bear Tribe.

However, he didn’t go back with great fanfare. Instead, he snuck in secretly.

He wanted to learn more about the Big Bear Tribe.

Xiang Tian arrived in the area around the Big Bear Tribe and tracked down some of the people who had gone out hunting. From these people’s conversations, Xiang Tian quickly learned a few things.

For example, that lion had changed a lot recently.

For example, his foolish son had been lucky enough to become Xiong Ye’s mate.

Other than that lion, there was nothing suspicious about the rest of the people in the tribe. As for his son… He had been very foolish as a child, and it wasn’t strange for him to become less of a fool as he grew up. That a weak person like him had found a man to take care of him was also very common.

Xiang Tian really looked down on a son like this, but at the end of the day, he was still his son, and he wasn’t going to do anything about it.

Which meant that right now… The strangest thing was that Shi Li!

Xiang Tian was just planning to go back and torture Shi Li harshly in order to learn how he could absorb the energy around him when another person suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was a man who wore a set of strange clothing made of leaves and had a mask on his face.

He was a Beast King, yet someone actually managed to approach him without him noticing… Who exactly was this person?!

The author has something to say:Author: It’s your son.

Juurensha: Ohhhh Shi Li, you’re a giant idiot, but what else is new
