Chapter 224
Ch 224 Beast Era (9.5)
The proclaimed angel XunMi: …. (～o～)~zZ was currently getting her beauty sleep.
Yuan He’s expression was serious, but his heart was beating like an infatuated idiot. Mi was really pretty. No wonder she was an angel.
The group suddenly quieted, turning their gaze to the the silhouette inside the cave. They were no longer worried about Jia’s health. Now that an angel has helped out, everything should be fine.
After one night, XunMi finally woke up in cheerful spirits. After stretching and washing up, she walked out of her cave. She promptly frozed: why were there so many people?
Ai, wait. It seemed like these were the ones she brought over yesterday.
“Morning.” Remembering that there was still a sick patient, XunMi only quickly greeted the group before leaving to check on Jia.
The previously unconscious person was now awake, busy gazing at the barbeque meat in front of him.
He still can’t eat much yet. For the next two days, only give him fruit heavy in fruit juice. Additionally, give him a bowl of meat broth daily. Since he was injured in his intestines, eating too much greasy foods would be back for digestion and would only inhibit his recovery process.” XunMi remembered the dietary restrictions she had forgotten to mention yesterday due to her lack of energy.
Luckily she had remembered in time or else this beast man would have been suffering from stomach pains.
Gavin immediately dropped the barbeque meat. They were already certain that XunMi was an angel so they were 100% going to obey XunMi’s words.
XunMi didn’t know anything about their inner reasonings. She only knew that she was very pleased watching how obedient they were.
Meanwhile, Jia had been observing XunMi this whole time. He felt that he could understand why clan leader would have fallen for this angel. This female wasn’t as tall or healthy as the others in their tribe but she also didn’t seem weak. Along with her unique mannerisms, it wasn’t surprising that someone would be tempted by her. Especially when the warmth of her voice when she first spoke was so comforting.
“Hello, I am Jia. Thank you for saving my life. When I recover, I will show you my loyalty.” Jia struggled to rise to his feet before XunMi finally pushed him back down to sitting position.
“In your condition, you’re not suitable for exercising. You need to watch for your internal organs to recover. And you don’t need to be so serious. You can call me XunMi. As for loyalty, there’s no need for that. It is my duty to save lives.” If I didn’t save you guys, I’m afraid the world consciousness would have come to smack me.
But more importantly, she did get happiness out of saving a person’s life.
However, Yuan He, returning back with prey, was met with the sight of Mi and Jia chatting and smiling happily. He immediately frowned.
“Mi, I picked some haw fruit for you. You hadn’t eaten anything last night so you should eat something first. The barbequed meat will be ready soon. Is there anything else you want to eat? I’ll get it for you.” Yuan He seamlessly pulled XunMi’s attention away with the haw fruits in his palms. Haw fruits were relatively rare in this world but were very popular amongst females.
XunMi had been living here for awhile now and had gained a preference to the haw fruits too. Taking a look at the glistening, plump haw fruits, she broke out into a large smile. “Thank you.” She grabbed it and bit in. Immediately, sweet fruit juice gushed out. So satisfying!
“I am Yuan He. This is Gavin, Xi, Jacob. The one lying there is Jia.” Yuan He smiled at her delight and began introducing XunMi to the others. But because he didn’t smile often, his face appeared a bit stiff.
XunMi greeted each of them following Yuan He’s introduction.
All of them liked this female. Not only was she beautiful but she was incredibly gentle. Not to mention she was an angel. In summary, everything about her was A+.
Due to their survival circumstances, there were far less females than beast men. In every tribe, females were precious. This also caused females to be slightly bold and arrogant. It was unfortunate that this unique one had already been taken by their tribe leader. It wasn’t that they weren’t willing to compete; it was just that their tribe leader was far too strong.
He was the first person in a few hundred years that had both abilities and strong physique. Everyone had already recognized him as the next leader of their entire kind.
“This is GuLu beast’s meat. It’s very tender.” Yuan He lifted a piece of barbequed meat towards XunMi.
XunMi didn’t bother being polite. She happily took the offering and closed her eyes with delight. She had originally thought that the primitive beast era would only have average food. She hadn’t expected it to taste so good. She quickly finished the meat in her hands and let out a satisfied burp. Just as she was prepared to rinse her hands, another piece of meat was delivered in front of her. Looking up, XunMi saw her husband staring at her with anticipation.
XunMi shook her head. “I’m full. You should it some. Oh, but it was very good.” She didn’t forget to praise him a little.
Yuan He’s heart sped with happiness. How great, she agreed to let him pursue her! In their land, there was an unwritten rule: when a female accepted a beast man’s food, it indicated that she was accepting him. It meant that when the next spring came, she was giving him permission to mate with her at the Harvest Banquet and become partners under the Beast God’s eyes.
But did XunMi know this? Of course not. So she ate without a bit of pressure. However, even if she did know, she probably wouldn’t have felt affected. After all, that was her dear husband anyways.
Meanwhile, the other beast men were envious: the tribe leader had so easily won over the angel. They really wanted to give him a beating. But even if they wanted to, they knew that they wouldn’t be able to win over him in a fight. Forget it. More importantly, their return will definitely create a riot. At that time, the angel will have quite a lot of suitors. Even if those beast men knew that they couldn’t win against the tribe leader, they would still want to compete.
Watching the tribe leader fight left and right against suitors would at least be an enjoyable sight. The five of them were a small group with a close-knit bond. If not for that, they wouldn’t have forfeited her without even an attempt.
XunMi tidied herself up before suddenly remembering something urgent: she definitely needed to teach them how to use chopsticks.
She wasn’t allowed to transform culture too quickly, but it was at least allowed to take it one step at a time, right?
Of course, she wasn’t going to do everything herself. She planned on guiding them to ponder over progress and make decisions by themselves. She was only going to play an auxiliary role.
“How did you come here? There are many fierce and large wild beasts here. It’s not safe.” After eating, while everyone sat in a circle chatting, XunMi asked with curiosity.
“It’s my fault. My mother hasn’t been able to eat anything for the past few weeks. I wanted to pick some Cui fruits for her. Cui fruits are only grown here. Coincidentally, the shaman wanted us to bring back some herbal medicine that would stop bleeding. So we came here. We didn’t expect to encounter a JuChi beast, not to mention two at once. Jia was hurt in the process.”
