Ch149 Gift Giving

s.h.i.+ Li, who had been smashed into the ground, could feel that his crystal core was unstable and that cracks were appearing on its surface.

If he cultivated properly, he could fill up the cracks with the energy from cultivation. However, after he had arrived at the Beast G.o.d Temple as a Beast King, he had encountered many things and had had no time to cultivate.

When hed first been reborn, hed lost face in the Big Bear Tribe. Later, hed been looked down on by others when he arrived at the Elephant Tribe, and it wasnt until he became a Beast King that he felt like he could stand up and live again.

But now, his dignity had been trampled into the ground once again.

s.h.i.+ Li very much wanted to fight against Xiong Ye, but he also knew that he couldnt fight. If he fought, he might lose his lifeonce his crystal core shattered, he would come to the same end as Xiang Tian!

When s.h.i.+ Li was young, hed also had a short fuse and hadnt wanted to be looked down upon. But as he grew older, he became less and less aggressive and impulsive. He even started to hesitate and place emphasis on preserving his life.

Xiong Ye, Ive always appreciated your help from before. I wont fight with you. s.h.i.+ Li repeated.

Xiong Ye sniffed contemptuously, If you were truly grateful, then why didnt you return to the tribe even after becoming a Beast King for so long?

s.h.i.+ Li was left momentarily speechless. As soon as he looked up he saw that everyone around them was looking at him with strange gazes. For a while, he felt that his face was burning hot with pain and wished that a crack would appear in the ground so he could go inside and hide.

Are you going to fight or not? Xiong Ye pressed.

s.h.i.+ Li replied, I was at fault before. I wont fight you this time.

With that, the huge lion left quickly.

Those onlookers really looked down on s.h.i.+ Li when they saw this scene. Some of the braver ones even said, s.h.i.+ Li became a Beast King when he was young, and I really admired him before. I didnt expect that he would turn out to be like this

His words are pleasant, but at the end of the day, isnt it just that he doesnt dare to fight?

I didnt think that the Lion Beast King would be so weak!

Someone else spoke about Xiong Ye, That Bear Beast Kings animal form looks very powerful.

The Bear Beast King is really good to his mate.

When I went to the Big Bear Tribe to watch the excitement, I saw that the Bear Beast King lived and ate with his own people and even helped them do things. He didnt put on any airs at all.

I saw that too. He even went out fis.h.i.+ng this morning!

If they looked at s.h.i.+ Li, then looked at Xiong Ye, anyone would immediately feel that Xiong Ye was very good.

Even Shen Yue now felt that Xiong Ye was better than s.h.i.+ Li.

She even regretted that shed ever been together with s.h.i.+ Li they were both Beast Kings, but Xiong Ye was so much better than s.h.i.+ Li.

Besides, she needed to flatter someone like s.h.i.+ Li very carefully, and do all sorts of things to please him. It was different with Xiong Ye, who was especially good to his mate Shen Yue raised her eyes and watched as Xiong Ye went over to Zhou Jis side.

After the huge brown bear arrived by Zhou Jis side, he quickly turned back into a man, picking up a piece of white cloth to wrap around him as he spoke to Zhou Ji, Zhou Ji, dont be angry about the words that s.h.i.+ Li spoke earlier.

Im not angry. Zhou Ji smiled and said.

Xiong Ye continued, What do you want to eat tonight? Ill go get it for you.

No need to catch anything someones here to see you. Zhou Ji gestured for Xiong Ye to look at the people who had come over.

It was Shen Yue. Seeing Xiong Ye, Shen Yue began, h.e.l.lo, Bear Beast King.

h.e.l.lo. Xiong Ye replied.

We never thought that youd also be a Beast King. Weve neglected you previously. Shen Yue said. She felt that shed been harmed to death by s.h.i.+ Li.

s.h.i.+ Li had spoken to her about how badly off the Big Bear Tribe was, and he had almost led them to offend a Beast King! Fortunately, they hadnt done anything, and there was still time to fix the situation.

Its nothing. Xiong Ye replied. He hadnt felt slighted at all.

Your Lords.h.i.+p is a Beast King. Why didnt you tell us? The Beast G.o.d Temple gives a lot of benefits to each Beast King

Theres no need. I will be returning to the wild forest after partic.i.p.ating in the Beast G.o.d Sacrifice. Xiong Ye said.

Everyone around them were stunned.

This Big Bear Tribe had come from the wild forest. This was something that everyone knew, but they all thought that this tribe would choose to stay in the Beastman Continent after seeing how prosperous it was. Yet as a result, they now wanted to go back to the wild forest?

Were there actually people like that?

Even Shen Yue was a little confused. s.h.i.+ Li had been very disgusted with the wild forest before

However, while Shen Yue might not understand, the Beast Kings who had been concerned that Xiong Ye would s.n.a.t.c.h resources with them were relieved, and the gaze they used to look at Xiong Ye turned even kinder, The Bear Beast King doesnt want fame or wealth. Admirable!

These Beast Kings all came over to talk to Xiong Ye, and Shen Yue had no chance to speak. However, Xiong Ye also didnt have much to say to these people, Im nothing special

Xiong Ye was obviously not very good at dealing with this kind of scene. The Rhinoceros Beast King spoke up, Lets go back to the market. Anything that you want to say can be said there.

Since the Rhinoceros Beast King had spoken, everyone went back to the market together.

In the morning, when the people of the Big Bear Tribe had gone out to the market, the people around had merely been watching the bustle. Now, however, they were all looking at them with great respect.

This Big Bear Tribe had a Beast King! They were really amazing! No wonder they were willing to drive out the Lion Beast King! No wonder they had so much pottery and didnt take any of it out for trade!

Some people who had originally wanted to make trouble for the Big Bear Tribe felt very fortunate for a moment. Fortunately, the Lion Beast King had gone and made trouble with them before they had

At this moment, the entire market was talking about the fact that Xiong Ye was a Beast King, to the point where the matter of the Rhinoceros Beast King having another father was already no longer a topic of discussion. Even if it was brought up, others would only say, Isnt it merely that the Rhinoceros Beast Kings son acknowledged another relative? and then move on to another topic.

The duel between the Bear Beast King and the Lion Beast King was the most striking topic of conversation.

While people were all talking amongst themselves, Zhou Ji and the others had already returned to their residence. As soon as they returned, Zhou Ji told someone to light a firehe planned to fry up some soybeans to eat.

When he was young, his grandmother would fry soybeans for him to eat. Of course, he wasnt allowed to eat much. Although he didnt know how to fry soybeans, he could give it a try and see. In comparison he completely didnt know anything about how soy sauce was made.

After the fire was ready, Zhou Ji poured the freshly washed soybeans directly into a pot.

He remembered that his grandmother didnt put oil in when she fried soybeans. Instead, she would dissolve some salt in water and add some soybeans in instead.

After frying the soybeans in the pot on their own, the fragrance of soybeans wafted out. Zhou Ji added a little salt water and continued to stir; the soybeans would be ready when the water was completely dried up.

They were very delicious eaten one by one, and they also made for a good snack.

Of course, children couldnt eat too much of it as it was easy for their stomachs to swell up. If some children had originally been frail, they would die if they ate too much.

Xiong Ye spoke with the Beast Kings while Zhou Ji fried up the soybeans.

Xiong Ye was actually very smart, but he had always lived in the Big Bear Tribe before and could only come into contact with a limited amount of people. They could only talk about so much

Zhou Ji discovered that while he hadnt been busy for long, Xiong Ye had already given a lot away in conversation.

However, there were also a great many things that Xiong Ye refused to say. For example, anything that was related to him.

As hed said, Xiong Ye was very smart.

What Zhou Ji didnt know was that Xiong Ye had a reason for not talking about it. All kinds of stories that theyd heard along the way had put Xiong Ye on guard against the Beast G.o.d Temple.

Zhou Ji was the Beast G.o.ds messenger. He was afraid that when the people of the Beast G.o.d Temple learned about this, they would refuse to let Zhou Ji return to the Big Bear Tribe with him. Naturally, he would hide this matter completely.

In short, he never once mentioned Zhou Ji.

Fortunately, those Beast Kings werent interested in Zhou Ji. They were more curious about how Xiong Ye had become a Beast King, and how s.h.i.+ Li had become a Beast King.

Xiong Ye said that he had accidentally eaten a Beast G.o.d Fruit and become a Beast King. As for s.h.i.+ Li, he didnt know.

The Beast Kings were unable to obtain any information, but they did manage to try some of Zhou Jis soybeans.

It was very delicious.

The place that the Big Bear Tribe was living temporarily had so many Beast Kings gathered together that people even tried to walk more lightly when they pa.s.sed by. Not only that, the people of the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe also quickly sent over some things to try and make amends.

Because their territory had been given over to the people of the Big Bear Tribe by the Rhinoceros Beast King yesterday, today, when the people of the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe encountered the people of the Big Bear Tribe, they hadnt had good expressions on their faces, and some people had even spoken some bad words.

They had already decided to try and crowd out the Big Bear Tribe, but in the blink of an eye, everything changed, and it was said that the tribal chief of the Big Bear Tribe was a Beast King.

Thanks to the Lion Beast King visiting them before they had, they hadnt made a big mistake! The people of the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe quickly sent gifts over to make amends.

After that came gifts from the Beast G.o.d Temple and some other large tribes.

The place that the Big Bear Tribe lived in was suddenly stuffed full of things.

Before, Zhou Ji had felt that they didnt need to put up a stall in order to trade things, but now that he could see so many things piled up Perhaps their tribe would really need to set up a stall for the next few days!

Of course, before all that He wanted to first make some soy milk.

Soy milk required soybeans to be ground, but using force to crush them into pieces should also work, right? Unfortunately, they needed calcium or some other kind of mineral to make tofu, and he didnt have any at this time

Zhou Ji asked Xiong Ye to beat the soybeans into powder and prepared to boil it with water to see if he could make soy milk.

It would be best if he could make it successfully. But if not, it would just be a matter of wasting some soybeans.

In addition to this, he also soaked some soybeans in a separate pot. Some of it could be boiled and eaten, and another portion would eventually be used to produce bean sprouts

While s.h.i.+ Li was busy doubting his life, Zhou Ji had already begun to happily study the many ways of eating soybeans.
