Chapter 118 - Confessing

“I’m fine now.” Zhou Ji glanced at the dark sludge of medicine in Xiong Ye’s hand and emphasized this point once again.

Xiong Ye had fed him a lot of medicine when he was unconscious, and his mouth was still filled with that bitter taste. He really didn’t want to have any more of this medicine now.

“You’ll only get better faster if you drink the medicine. This medicine helps replenish your blood.” Xiong Ye said. Zhou Ji had spat out blood and been covered in bloody wounds; he was really worried.

Zhou Ji wanted to refuse again, but he then saw Xiong Ye’s face clearly.

Xiong Ye hadn’t slept for two nights now, and he had even gone out to look for him in the sea… He had washed Zhou Ji and cleaned him up, but Xiong Ye himself was still covered in the fishy scent of the sea, his eyes red, and he currently looked very awkward.

Zhou Ji’s heart softened immediately. He accepted the bowl of medicine and drank it down. In any case, this medicine wouldn’t harm him even if it didn’t do him any good.

As a result, he had only just finished drinking down the bowl of medicine when Xiong Ye continued, “Zhou Ji, I made a lot of medicine. Should I pour you another bowl?”

Zhou Ji: “……”

After eating such a large, Beast King level crystal core and becoming an existence even more powerful than a Beast King, Zhou Ji would now be completely fine no matter what unless he went crazy again. As for drinking medicine… forget it.

Zhou Ji suggested, “The Beast God has already restored my body completely. If there’s any medicine left, you can give it to that Hai Feng to drink.”

Zhou Ji had previously helped Hai Feng heal the injuries on his face, but the injuries on his body had been completely ignored. Nobody had helped him clean his wounds or given him anything to eat for an entire day… Hai Feng wasn’t in a good state.

Of course, Hai Feng was still a Beast King and wouldn’t die from this. He should be capable of recovering enough to go find food for himself even if he was left ignored like this for a few more days. After eating, he would slowly be able to heal on his own.

The bodies of Beast Kings were really very sturdy!

However, he was a considerate person. Seeing that Hai Feng had so much difficulty recovering… He would let Hai Feng have some medicine.

“Are you truly alright?” Xiong Ye asked.

“I’m really fine now. The injuries on my body are all gone.” Zhou Ji let XIong Ye see the healed wounds on his body.

“But before, you…”

“I wasn’t able to bear so much energy, which is why I became like this…” Zhou Ji frowned slightly as he spoke, thinking about how he should explain.

Xiong Ye hadn’t been the only person by his side when Zhou Ji woke up. Zhu Zhan, Xiong Qi, and the others were all waiting nearby. At this time, Zhu Zhan spoke up, “So you’ve become so strong because the Beast God granted you such powerful strength?”

If that was the case, then it made sense why Zhou Ji was normally so weak but could suddenly explode with so much power––it must be that the Beast God had given him strength!

Zhu Zhan felt that if Zhou Ji was normally so strong, he wouldn’t purposely appear to be so weak no matter what. That meant that it was likely that he could only become so strong because he could communicate with the Beast God and gain strength at a critical moment.

Xiong Ye was very moved when he thought of this. He added, “Zhou Ji, do you feel really bad after receiving that power? You always attack trees and such…”

The people around them once again showed another look of sudden understanding––no wonder Zhou Ji would slaughter things like he’d gone crazy. So it was actually because he felt really uncomfortable?

Zhou Ji: “……” Any explanation he came up with probably wouldn’t be as good as what these people made up in their minds.

Zhou Ji had previously been worried that someone would take advantage of his circumstances once they became known, using what they knew to deliberately make him go crazy, but he wasn’t worried about that now.

Zhou Ji coughed, then said, “It feels very bad when I fight. Sometimes, I’m unable to control myself and want to destroy everything around me…”

Zhu Zhan and the others all ‘understood’ now.

Normally, Zhou Ji was indeed very weak, but at critical moments, he could ask the Beast God to grant him strength.

Of course, powerful strength wasn’t so easy to obtain, so after becoming stronger, he would become a little out of control. Not only would he kill dinosaurs, he would even destroy trees before stopping.

No wonder Zhou Ji hid this… Asking him to fight like this was really making things difficult for him.

He didn’t even kill bugs normally!

Everyone started speaking up, “Zhou Ji, it’s better if you don’t use this power casually in the future.”

“We must protect you well later on! So that you don’t have to do this in the future!”

“Thank you for saving us before!”

……

Zhou Ji: “…..” He really hadn’t thought that ‘confessing’ would be so simple!

However, while he could gloss over this matter with others, he couldn’t do it to Xiong Ye. He should tell Xiong Ye the truth.

Although he had already been mated to Xiong Ye the first time he went into a frenzy, they hadn’t spent much time together, and so he had chosen to hide the truth. Later on, he didn’t know how to talk about it. Now… he could take the opportunity to explain his situation clearly to Xiong Ye.

Of course, he had to wait until there was nobody else around before doing so.

Zhou Ji sat up and said, “I’m really fine now. Give the medicine to that Hai Feng to eat. He’s already converted and believes in the Beast God now and will do as I say in the future.”
