CHAPTER 706: 【700】BEAST WORLD FARMING 10 (THIRD UPDATE)

Life had become more comfortable, but the one thing she couldn’t stand was their raw way of eating. Yet, these were their customs, and it would be very difficult for her alone to initiate change. The only thing she could do was subtly influence them over time. Moreover, females were terrified of fire. The Witch Doctor Grandma explained that many females and cubs had died from lightning and forest fires. Hence, unless they were freezing and couldn’t bear it, neither females nor males were willing to touch a source of fire.

She was a patient, so in addition to drinking herbal medicines every day, she was also given tender, easy-to-chew lamb. Witch Doctor Grandma said that this was specifically instructed by Yin Ye because he was the one who rescued her, and thus he naturally took on the responsibility for her food. Even if she didn’t eat much, she was picky enough. He didn’t want to trouble other Beastmen, so that was why he chose to hunt and give back to the Nandi Clan.

Tangtang was deeply moved when she heard this and thought that once she got better, she must repay his kindness.

Three to five days later, Tangtang’s wounds no longer needed ointment, and she was left to heal naturally.

That day, the tribe’s Beastmen returned, carrying their prey—this time, the whole group had come back.

Generally, the hunting parties were divided into two groups: one focused on hunting and the other on transportation. After the prey was killed, the Beastmen would drain the blood immediately to replenish their energy since they needed the salt content, or they would grow weak. This had become an unwritten rule of the place.

Sometimes, male Beastmen would catch fresh prey and bring it back for their females to consume the blood. The reason for doing this immediately was because an animal’s blood would clot after death, just like humans’.

Although she had only been with the Xinba Tribe for a few hours, she could still feel the significant differences between the two tribes.

She had thought a lot during this time. How could a tribe in the Caucasus Mountains, which valued females so highly, make a female deal with the conflict between two Beastmen? And why would it be done in the deep forest late at night? There were holes in this scenario, so she suspected that the female named Nisa was jealous of her and wanted to kill her. She must have had feelings for Jin Han; otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen to stealthily transport her away.

By comparison, the females of the Nandi Clan were easier to get along with. She liked the peaceful and non-contentious environment and was willing to grow in such an atmosphere.

Suddenly, the warm sunlight was blocked. Tangtang, who had been lost in thought, looked up to see a man with silver hair, dressed in a matching beast skin skirt, bending toward her. He naturally picked her up in his arms, checking her over from left to right. He was either scratching her head or lifting her legs. Although Tangtang was in her beast form, she still whimpered awkwardly and buried her face in her paws.

"Heh..." The man’s low, pleased voice sounded above her ear, "Are you feeling shy, little one? You seem to be in good spirits. It looks like you’re almost fully recovered."

She lowered her front paws and stealthily turned her head to sneak a peek at him. Just that one glance filled her with a sense of awe.

The man bathed in sunlight was haloed with a golden glow. He slightly bowed his head, his expression serene. He hooked his lips into a shallow smile toward her. The sight of his silver hair, long enough to reach his buttocks, gave her a shock of amazement. Handsome—truly handsome. The uniqueness of his bearing was captivating, making her drool like he was a banished immortal.

Compared with the sinister and effeminate Pan Lin, and the profound and unrestrained Jin Han, the man before her easily made her lose herself in his too-perfect visage.

Yes, he was truly handsome, but a face too perfect made her feel it was unreal.

Thus, after a brief spell of infatuation, she calmed down and guessed his identity—he was Yin Ye.

The Beastman who had saved her, the prized son of the heavens from the Silver Wolf Clan.

"Nanny, now that she has recovered, I’ll take her back,"

The little female, who had already nestled unmoving in his embrace, briskly perked up her fluffy ears upon hearing his words.

She made a sound akin to protest from her mouth, not wanting Yin Ye, however, laughed even deeper, "What? Not happy now?"

"Nanny has a lot of work to do, and you being here easily distracts her. I’ve already returned from hunting, so I can take care of you now."

Could it be that from now on, she was to be raised by him?

Seeing the confusion and doubt in her eyes, Yin Ye gently scratched the fluff under her neck and stroked the fur on her back.

"You were brought back by me, so naturally, you are under my care. Now that you’ve joined the Nandi Clan, from now on, you will be my female."

Tangtang’s eyes widened in disbelief, "Is this man mistaken? Isn’t she a female who cannot bear offspring?"

With Nanny’s help, now everyone in the tribe knew about her injury, which would make having descendants difficult—the intent was to avoid entanglement with the Beastmen. Could it be that this werewolf, Yin Ye, didn’t know yet?

Pity that she couldn’t speak and was unable to explain, she could only cast hopeful glances toward the gently smiling Witch Doctor Grandma.

Who could’ve anticipated that Witch Doctor Grandma didn’t understand her at all but instead patted her head, instructing Yin Ye about various matters to take note of when caring for her.

Then, without caring whether she was willing, under Nanny’s brimming smile, she sent them on their way.

Poor her, aside from making dissatisfied grumbling sounds, there was nothing she could do.

The den of the Silver Wolf was dug out on a mound, likely to fend off the chill. Beneath the cave, there was a recessed hole lined with grass and various beast skins, and the home was decorated with many beast skins and bones too, likely dried by the wind, so there was barely any smell.

"This will be our home from now on. Are you hungry? Stay here, and I’ll find you some fruits and meat."

Saying so, he placed her into the nest full of his scent, curved his lips in a good mood, shifted into his wolf form, and left the den.

She wanted to escape, but where could she even go? Especially with her injuries not yet healed, what if she encountered Beastmen even more troublesome than these few?

With these thoughts, she listlessly lay on the rock by the den entrance, continuing to sunbathe. She was displeased to stay in his den, feeling as if it was like him holding her to sleep; upon further consideration, having such a keen sense of smell wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

Yin Ye didn’t make her wait too long, and soon came running back with a wild chicken in his mouth and a Beast Skin Bag around his neck. Seeing her sunbathing at the entrance, his eyes brimmed with laughter, and with a flash of silver light before her eyes, he transformed back into a brawny, handsome man with his upper body bare.

Thankfully, their fur could transform into Beast Skin Skirts; otherwise, it would truly be an eye-sore to have their privates exposed all the time.

The Beast Skin Bag contained various fruits, and the chicken was not yet dead. He made a small cut in its neck and handed it over to her, which startled her so much, she fluffed up and retreated several steps backward.

"What are you afraid of? I told you to drink its blood, or else you’ll feel weak. Come on, drink it!"
