Ch166.1 – Extra: Educating The People

The Ape Beast King didn’t realize that some people no longer felt aggrieved after seeing that he was working so hard.

He himself… In fact, he still felt very aggrieved.

As a Beast King, he usually acted as a deterrent to other tribes for his own tribe, and didn’t need to do this manual work. Now, however…

He was reduced to constructing roads!

He shouldn’t have gone to attack Xiong Ye back then. If he hadn’t, he would be as free as the Rhinoceros Beast King now, and could stay in his own tribe in the Beastman Continent enjoying life….

Forget it, it was better not to think about it. Thinking about it just made him sadder.

The Ape Beast King held the piece of wood in his hand tightly and smashed it against the ground, making a smooth and spacious dirt road.

Xiong Ye, as the Beast God’s mate, was also working now. So, him doing some work wasn’t a big deal…

Xiong Ye was indeed working right now. He was cutting down trees.

He’d made a new plan for the land around the tribal grounds, but it required a stretch of trees to be cut down, so he’d gone to do it himself.

However, Xiong Ye stopped after a while.

The sun was hanging in the middle of the sky now, meaning that it was time for lunch!

In the past, he’d only eaten one meal a day at night and didn’t eat anything during the day. However, after he’d gotten to know Zhou Ji, he’d started having one meal in the morning and one in the evening.

And recently… Zhou Ji had started making another meal for him at noon.

So now, he ate three meals a day!

Xiong Ye felt that he was eating a little too much, but to be honest, he could use the meals…

He was now a Beast King. He could easily digest it all even if he ate more!

For example, he’d used his animal form to cut down some trees and had immediately gotten hungry.

The huge brown bear ran towards his yard.

The entrance to the yard was a little small for his animal form, but the wall around it wasn’t very high to him now… Xiong Ye jumped and leaped over the wall into the yard.

After jumping in, he froze.

He seemed to have… crushed something?

Xiong Ye immediately turned into his human form and then discovered that he’d crushed many flowers and plants. He was just thinking about what to do when he heard Zhou Ji’s voice, “A beauty has fallen down from the sky.”

Xiong Ye: “…I’m not a beauty!”

“I’m the beauty, then.” Zhou Ji smiled and said, “The food’s ready.”

Zhou Ji had cooked a table full of a variety of delicious dishes. There was also rice and roasted meat.

Xiong Ye was especially happy to eat and said, “Zhou Ji, you don’t have to make so much food in the future… I like eating everything, and I’m not picky about food.”

“Alright.” Zhou Ji smiled and answered, but he didn’t intend to listen to him.

Making more delicious food and improving his and Xiong Ye’s living standards was something that should be done.

He wanted him to be a fine Beast King.

Xiong Ye left again after he finished eating.

Zhou Ji waited until Xiong Ye left before going to the place where Xiong Ye had jumped in from outside and created a pit. He removed the flattened flowers and plants, then finally planted a stretch of grass that couldn’t be crushed.

Of course, he did more than just that… Zhou Ji scattered the cotton seeds and planted a lot of cotton.

Although the weather was warm now, and they didn’t need cotton, it was an extremely useful plant. If cotton was used to make a nest in winter, it would be particularly comfortable to sleep in and could ensure the children of the tribe didn’t get frozen.

Cotton was soon growing over a large stretch of land in the open yard, blooming to reveal a cloud of snow-white flowers.

Usually when people grew cotton, many ‘flowers’ wouldn’t open due to rain or other reasons, or they might open to reveal stiff and yellow cotton. However, it was different with the plants he’d grown–every single flower was filled with white fluffy cotton.

Zhou Ji picked a few cotton pieces, thought about it, then asked someone to call over the children of the tribe to help him pick cotton.

“After you’ve picked the cotton, bring it to the priests. This can be used to make nests. Of course, the seeds should be taken out before it’s used, since they can be planted.” Zhou Ji instructed the children, then took the cotton he’d picked himself and went back into the house.

He planned to try and make cotton cloth with the cotton pieces.

Of course, he wasn’t making cotton cloth in order to make clothing, but rather because he wanted to make towels… Life was really inconvenient without towels.

While Zhou Ji was figuring things out with the cotton using his spiritual strength, Xiong Ye was holding a branch to draw out a map in the dirt.

Xiong Ye was drawing this map for the priests who’d come from the Beast God Temple.

Zhou Ji had taught him all kinds of knowledge before going to the Beast God Temple. At night, other than sleeping, Zhou Ji would also teach him some knowledge. They would even make plans for the Big Bear Tribe together.

There would definitely be more and more people in the Big Bear Tribe, so they needed a lot of houses and roads. It was better to lead the water here so that they would have water…

After discussing with Zhou Ji for many days, Xiong Ye had a tummy full of ideas, but he helplessly discovered that the people of the tribe didn’t understand him.

However, the priests of the Beast God Temple were each very clever and understood with barely any guidance.

So, Xiong Ye called the priests over to work as overseers.

Although the priests came over, they were a little reluctant at the start.
