Ch165.2 – Extra: Working Together
Xiong Mao came over as they ate.
Xiong Mao, whose animal form was that of a panda, looked admiringly at Xiong Ye, “Tribal chief, you’re really powerful!”
After saying so, he looked at Zhou Ji, “You’re even more powerful!”
“Not really.” Zhou Ji smiled as he spoke, then gave him two pieces of small fish that he’d fried himself––fried small fish were very delicious, and he’d made extra so he could occasionally feed them to Xiong Ye as snacks.
Xiong Mao was especially happy as he ate them. Zhou Ji continued, “Turn into your animal form, and let us take a look.” He remembered that Xiong Ye really liked Xiong Mao’s animal form.
Xiong Mao heard this and obediently turned into a little panda.
The little panda had grown up a little, but still didn’t look like an adult. It appeared very cute… Zhou Ji fed it some fried soybeans.
The little panda accepted it in its small paws and gnawed on them one by one. Although the fried soybeans were very hard, the little panda’s teeth could easily bite through a bamboo pole, so chewing fried soybeans was nothing to him at all.
Xiong Ye really liked Xiong Mao’s animal form and couldn’t move his eyes away. He was still looking when he heard Zhou Ji saying, “You like looking at other people’s animal forms so much, I’m jealous. I’ll punish you later.”
Xiong Ye: “……” He felt a sense of inevitability. Zhou Ji was deliberately looking for a reason to ‘punish’ him, right?!
Xiong Ye couldn’t help saying, “In fact, you don’t have to find a reason…” It wasn’t like he was unwilling!
Zhou Ji: “I think it’s hotter to find a reason.”
Alright, we’ll do whatever you like… Xiong Ye acknowledged his fate.
Zhou Ji continued, “In fact, Xiong Mao’s animal form is far less cute than yours.”
“My animal form is cute?” Xiong Ye felt a little helpless. His animal form was fierce and powerful!
“If you became smaller, you’d be cute.” Zhou Ji looked Xiong Ye over as he spoke.
Zhou Ji was saying the truth he felt in his heart.
If he, as an elephant, could become very cute when he shrank, then Xiong Ye’s animal form didn’t even need to be discussed!
If he could cuddle a chubby bear in his arms…
“You must cultivate well with me and become as strong as I am as soon as possible.” Zhou Ji said. If that happened, Xiong Ye would be able to become smaller!
Xiong Ye was rather hesitant, “It’s very difficult for Beast Kings to improve their strength. I…”
“You’ll definitely do it. If you can’t, then nobody will be able to stop me when I go into a frenzy, and I’ll be hurt and feel bad.” Zhou Ji looked at Xiong Ye.
When he had previously gone into a frenzy at the Beast God Temple, Xiong Ye had brought him back to consciousness, but it didn’t mean that he wouldn’t go into a frenzy again next time.
He would still fall into a frenzy when triggered, and this kind of problem wouldn’t be solved for a long time.
However, with Xiong Ye there, he believed that he would regain consciousness even if he fell into a frenzy.
“You can’t leave me either. What if I go into a frenzy by accident?” Zhou Ji spoke again.
“I definitely won’t leave you.” Xiong Ye promised.
Zhou Ji was very satisfied with Xiong Ye’s answer and fed him a mouthful of meat.
Xiong Mao was still around, but he had been completely forgotten by Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji…
The little panda rolled around on the ground, unable to attract Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye’s attention. He could only leave sadly and shift back to his human form to eat by the priest––hot pot was really, really delicious! He liked it!
The hot pot feast in the tribe lasted a long time.
With delicious food as the medium, the people of the Big Bear Tribe soon became familiar with the people of the Beast God Temple. Xiong He even sat shoulder to shoulder with one of the priests. He was very fond of these priests, and as for these priests? They also wanted to become friends with Xiong He, the former chief of the Big Bear Tribe and Xiong Ye’s uncle.
The two sides naturally had a good time talking to each other.
Some of the priests also asked the people of the Big Bear Tribe about the Beast God’s past.
The people of the Big Bear Tribe more or less all contributed something. Of all these people, the things the priest of the Big Bear Tribe spoke about was what everyone wanted to hear the most. A lot of people also agreed with him, “Zhou Ji was always different even from childhood. He didn’t leave his cave for nearly twenty years and didn’t speak at all. I think that it was because he was the Beast God and couldn’t adapt well to his body when he first came! Later on, his mother unexpectedly died, and he became a little more enlightened, but because he hadn’t adapted well, he was always sleeping until a certain Beast God Sacrifice…”
The priest spoke with great enthusiasm.
Zhou Ji, who could hear everything through his spiritual powers even though he was far away: “……” The priest of their tribe really knew how to make things up!
Zhou Ji didn’t concern himself with the priest. Instead, he continued to eat and feed his little bear.
The entire valley was filled with the scent of food.
Inside a cave, the people of the Mountain Wolf Tribe who’d been forgotten all burst into tears––they were so hungry! Starving!
“I wonder what the Big Bear Tribe is eating, it’s so fragrant.”
“They lied to us before about having no meat… How hateful!”
“They beat us up and tied us here. We must get revenge!”
……
Lang Sha and some of his cronies complained non-stop while swallowing their drool back down.
The people sent by Xi Shi to watch over Lang Sha: “……” Their young chief actually wanted revenge? The other party’s tribe had a Beast King. How could they want to get revenge?
Now, they didn’t even dare to speak too loudly, alright?
Lang Sha indeed didn’t even dare to speak loudly. He was afraid that the people outside would hear him and come to beat him up again.
He hadn’t felt anything when he was knocked out earlier, but when he woke up, he felt that the place that had been hit was very painful and hard to bear…
Yang Ying and Yang Su were also afraid to speak loudly, as they were afraid of being noticed…
