Chapter 87.2 - Pottery Pot

Xiong Ye had originally wanted to learn some tricks from Zhu Zhan and hadn’t expected to receive this kind of answer. He was left disappointed for a moment––Zhou Ji didn’t like to hit people, didn’t like meat, and didn’t like weapons. As for prey… Who didn’t give prey to their mates?

Xiong Ye felt that he wouldn’t be able to make a good mud man and was currently pondering over what to give Zhou Ji instead as a gift when Zhu Zhan spoke up, “Xiong Ye, how does it feel when you’re together with a man?”

“Very good.” Xiong Ye replied.

Xiong Ye’s reply was practically instantaneous. Zhu Zhan continued, “Looks like Zhou Ji is great… He does indeed look very good, and it must feel very pleasurable to hold him. It’s just that he’s a little tall. I know someone from the outside who likes men, but he only likes slender men with good looks.”

Xiong Ye was a little confused, “Would they still be attractive if they’re slender?” Wasn’t it better to have a powerful body? He always felt that Zhou Ji was a little thin.

Zhu Zhan: “You’re really… Oh, right. I know that he uses this kind of thing… Do you want some? It’ll make it more pleasurable.”

“What kind of thing?” Xiong Ye asked.

“It’s a type of oil from a fruit.” Zhu Zhan explained it to him.

The more Xiong Ye listened to him, the more he felt that something wasn’t right.

The thing that Zhu Zhan was talking about wasn’t the same as what Zhou Ji and he did together!

Could it be that he and Zhou Ji had done it wrong the whole time when they slept together before?

Xiong Ye abruptly understood, and he had a kind of feeling like he had just been struck by lightning.

“What’s wrong with you?” Zhu Zhan asked.

“When two men sleep together, do they not use their hands?” Xiong Ye asked.

Zhu Zhan: “……” So, what exactly did these two people do after they had become mates?!

Zhu Zhan was a little dumbfounded. Xiong Ye also wanted to thump his chest and stamp his feet in anguish––how much time had he wasted?

Xiong Ye immediately climbed back up to his cave.

Zhu Zhan saw that Xiong Ye was running off and finally recalled what he had originally come to find Xiong Ye for, “Xiong Ye, are you not coming to spar with us today?”

He was still waiting for his subordinates to fight against Xiong Ye in exchange for seasonings!

Yet Xiong Ye had actually run off?!

However, he could also understand why. Xiong Ye suddenly learned that he hadn’t actually been enjoying his mate completely despite having had him for so long. Anyone would be anxious in that kind of situation!

Zhu Zhan had no choice but to go back and prepare himself to eat the most basic salt-rubbed, roasted meat. As for Xiong Ye, he had already run back to his cave, “Zhou Ji, I learned something.”

Zhou Ji was puzzled, “What did you learn?”

“It turns out that two men together should be like this…” Xiong Ye swiftly explained it all.

Zhou Ji hugged his head somewhat helplessly.

He had known that Xiong Ye would learn about this sooner or later, but he hadn’t thought that Xiong Ye would figure it out so soon.

“Who told you that?” Zhou Ji asked.

Xiong Ye replied, “Zhu Zhan… Zhou Ji, should we try it?”

Xiong Ye had always been bold and direct. As he spoke, he had already embraced Zhou Ji and picked him up.

He wanted to be intimate with Zhou Ji!

He believed that Zhou Ji must also want to be intimate with him!

Xiong Ye might think so, but Zhou Ji said, “Wait a bit, I’m a little scared.”

“Scared?” Xiong Ye was puzzled.

Zhou Ji: “I’m scared it will hurt. Doing that… will it hurt?

Only… Zhou Ji said, “I’m worried it might injure and hurt you.”

Zhou Ji gave some reasons, and the reasons made sense.

However, those weren’t the main reasons why he was refusing.

When he had originally agreed to Xiong Ye’s ‘proposal’, he had only wanted to help Xiong Ye and hadn’t thought too much about it. At the time, if Xiong Ye had really offered himself up, perhaps he would’ve taken him up on it and slept with him then and there.

But now, the feelings between the two of them were growing deeper and deeper, and he had a lot of concerns.

For example, did Xiong Ye really like him? If he hadn’t agreed back then, would Xiong Ye have just gone on to find another mate? Would he have been as good to that other person as he was to him?

As for himself, how did he feel towards Xiong Ye?

Zhou Ji gave Xiong Ye a deep, searching gaze.

Xiong Ye kissed Zhou Ji on the mouth and felt that Zhou Ji’s appearance of being concerned over him being injured was really too cute!

In fact… What two men did together should all be pretty much the same, right? In fact, there was no need to do that specifically…

“Forget it, then.” Xiong Ye suggested.

Zhou Ji: “……” That was it? Xiong Ye didn’t push for it?

Xiong Ye really dropped the idea. He fell straight into a deep sleep that night after going to bed.

Zhou Ji supplied him with some energy and fell asleep in a complicated mood. He didn’t sleep much that night.

Early the next morning, Xiong Ye woke up and prepared to go hunting. Zhou Ji followed after him and left the cave, then noticed Zhu Zhan staring at him.

This was the person who had caused him to sleep badly last night!

Zhou Ji rubbed his forehead and sighed.

Zhu Zhan saw that Zhou Ji was walking normally without any strangeness at all and couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed in Xiong Ye.

However, it was a matter between others, and he didn’t care much about it.

He might as well use this time to try and make a boat instead!

Recently, Zhu Zhan had taken a lot of small pieces of wood and collected it in his cave with his subordinates, wanting to make the boat that Zhou Ji had mentioned before. Although he had managed to make something like a boat, it was difficult to make it any bigger. Additionally, dealing with the predators in the river was also a very big problem.

Zhu Zhan was very downcast about it.

While Zhu Zhan was feeling upset about this, the Big Bear tribe had finished firing pottery for the third time.

This time, Zhou Ji had paid extra attention to the process. He was firing the things he had made personally, including the little bear that had been sculpted from clay. Only after he had placed all of his things inside did the other people from the tribe add their contributions and light the fire.

A large fire blazed up and began to burn.

That evening, while everyone was eating next to the pottery fire pit, Zhu Zhan’s people asked Zhu Zhan, “Big brother, do you think that the Big Bear Tribe will be able to create pottery this time?”

“Probably, but maybe it’ll only be one or two pieces.” Zhu Zhan said. The High Priest of the Beast God Temple didn’t have much pottery, which meant that the production process for this pottery should be quite complicated.

The Beast God Temple had been making pottery for so many years, but they were only able to make a very limited amount each year. The Big Bear Tribe had only made it a total of two times, so what kind of success could they have?

Although they now acknowledged Zhou Ji as the Beast God’s messenger, Zhu Zhan still didn’t fully believe the Big Bear Tribe members when they talked about the barley maturing immediately and the earth eggs growing overnight.

As for the slaves who had only recently joined the Big Bear Tribe…

These past ten days had been like heaven for them.

Over the past ten days, they had been able to eat two meals a day and be full after every meal. Although it wasn’t meat and consisted mainly of earth eggs, this was already a very good situation for them.
