Chapter 161.1 - Going Home (1/2)

Zhou Ji deliberately attacked Shi Li with his words and continued, “It was because of Xiong Ye that you could become famous in your last life. Unexpectedly, you weren’t satisfied and did stupid things one after another after going through your rebirth and coming back again.”

Shi Li was lying down on the ground, but Zhou Ji was standing up.

Zhou Ji stood at the door, and the golden light from the setting sun seeming to cover Zhou Ji with a golden glow.

Seeing Zhou Ji like this, Shi Li suddenly spoke and said, “Is it you that sent me back? You fell for Xiong Ye and sent me back here so that I could do all these stupid things…”

After saying that, Shi Li spat up a mouthful of blood.

Zhou Ji: “……”

Zhou Ji didn’t expect that Shi Li would think of something like this.

This was impossible. Not only did he not have that kind of ability, but if what Shi Li had told him was true, in Shi Li’s previous life, he also wouldn’t have been the type of person to fall for someone who already had someone else in his heart.

However, having Shi Li believe this worked out for him.

He must be full of regret now, and then in a little while, he would die mired in regret…

Zhou Ji actually felt a little pity for Shi Li.

Shi Li was indeed full of regret. As long as he had stayed together with Xiong Ye, he would definitely have been able to become a Beast King smoothly, but he had split up with Xiong Ye!

In fact, his previous life hadn’t been as bad as he’d really thought it was… Although the Big Bear Tribe was destroyed by the Giant Tiger Tribe, and they’d wandered around for a long time without a home, after he and Xiong Ye had become stronger, their life had gotten better and better.

Xiong Ye had always been good to him, and had even given him the position of tribal chief. Although Xiong Ye was stronger than he was, he always showed him respect when they were outside with others.

Xiong Ye didn’t allow him to be with others, but Xiong Ye himself had also never looked for anyone else.

Xiong Ye was a person that even the Beast God liked. Why hadn’t he liked him more?

The more Shi Li thought about it, the more he regretted. While he was still in a trance, he could feel that something had shattered within his body

He’d used his spiritual powers to keep an eye on Xiong Ye while he spoke to Shi Li.

There were some utensils and instruments in the temple. At first, Xiong Ye had idly looked around at them, but later on, he had started looking at the statue. He even muttered, “It doesn’t look like him at all.”

That statue was nothing but a piece of stone carved into a vague human shape. Of course it didn’t look like him at all!

Zhou Ji carried the plums with him and went inside. He said to Xiong Ye, “Do you want plums?”

“Yes!” Xiong Ye said, then grew a little doubtful, “Aren’t plums only available two months later?”

“I can make them grow faster.” Zhou Ji explained.

Xiong Ye immediately thought of how Zhou Ji was the Beast God. It was probably a very simple matter for Zhou Ji to make plums grow faster, right?

“Zhou Ji, you’re so amazing.” Xiong Ye said. He suddenly felt that he was a little worse in comparison.

Compared to Zhou Ji, did he come across as too useless?

Xiong Ye was still worried when he heard Zhou Ji ask him, “Xiong Ye, if Shi Li hadn’t suddenly changed his mind and was willing to become mates with you and was very good to you, would you have stayed with him the whole time?”

Xiong Ye felt that Zhou Ji didn’t seem very happy when he asked this… He knew what kind of answer would make Zhou Ji happy, but after thinking about it, he still chose to tell the truth in the end, “Probably.”

Zhou Ji, “If he stopped liking you later on and became like how he is now, would you split up with him?”

“I always believed back then that mates couldn’t be separated for a lifetime.” Xiong Ye said.

Zhou Ji asked, “Would you still like him?”

Xiong Ye was very certain, “No.”

After listening to Shi Li’s words from earlier, Zhou Ji had been very unhappy. When he came back and asked Xiong Ye, Xiong Ye’s first few answers had also left him even unhappier.

Fortunately, Xiong Ye still said something in the end that had made him happy just then.

Xiong Ye was indeed like that. If others didn’t like him anymore, he wouldn’t like them anymore either.
