《Transmigrated In A Beast World: I Just Want To Build My Kingdom, Not Mate》 Chapter 1 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Not even in her dreams would Qiao Mo have expected that though she had only found a cave to change her sanitary pad while heading up the mountain, the surrounding mountains had turned into lush green forests when she came out again! ¡°It was clearly snowing, and it should be winter. Why is greenery seen everywhere? And this isn¡¯t the scenery I saw before I entered the cave. What¡¯s going on?¡± Then, a dark green hill in front of her suddenly moved, turning into a giant snake that suddenly shot up high! It soared into the sky in front of Qiao Mo! Qiao Mo raised her head, and all the blood in her body instantly froze. It wasn¡¯t a dark green hill at all, but a dark green monstrous python coiled on the ground. The giant snake was looking down at Qiao Mo from a great height, its scarlet and vicious eyes locked onto her body. It¡¯d probably take several adult men to wrap their arms around the giant snake¡¯s thick body. Its scales were hard and shaped like leaves. Every single one of them was bright and glowing as if it was wearing a leaf-shaped armor that was unusually sharp. Qiao Mo forgot to scream and instinctively backed off. She stepped on an empty spot and went tumbling down the slope, her face smashing into a muddy spot where the snow had melted. Not only was her face covered in mud, but her entire body too. She also had a cut on her waist and abdomen area. Right at this moment, a gigantic snow-white figure suddenly dashed out and blocked in front of Qiao Mo! Qiao Mo trembled as she looked over. The huge figure in front of her was as tall as two people, and its thick fur was snow-white. It was an unbelievably beautiful giant wolf! The giant wolf turned around and glanced at Qiao Mo. Then, it opened its big mouth, and charged toward her! My life is over! Qiao Mo thought to herself and closed her eyes, resigning herself to fate. It was because she seemed to have twisted her ankle when she fell just now, and she could feel a sharp pain coming from her ankle. Furthermore, it was impossible for her to escape from this distance even if she wanted to. But what followed was not pain. Her body was gently picked up by a mouth, and then Qiao Mo was thrown into the air. However, Qiao Mo had already fainted. When Qiao Mo opened her eyes groggily again, she discovered that she was lying on the giant wolf¡¯s fluffy and soft back. Because they were moving forward with extreme speed, it was so fast that she couldn¡¯t see her surroundings clearly. Soon, the giant wolf stopped running, but in the next moment, something even more shocking happened. The two-meter tall giant wolf suddenly disappeared in front of her eyes, turning into a completely naked handsome man!? Qiao Mo suddenly plunged and then landed into a warm but firm embrace. Looking up, Qiao Mo met a pair of deep blue eyes. This was an unbelievably handsome man. He wore half a silver mask to cover the upper half of his face, and the lower half of his face only revealed his sexy, pink, almost perfect lips as well as his high nose bridge. He had short, snow-white hair and two furry ears on top of his head. He had a high nose bridge, dark blue eyes that were filled with indifference, sexy pink lips, and a firm chest¡­ Qiao Mo was so shocked that she couldn¡¯t speak. That giant wolf had actually turned into a man. Moreover, it was a super handsome man who could make people fantasize just by looking at half of his face? The handsome boy only glanced at Qiao Mo before carrying her and rushing into the tribe. ¡°Shaman Evan! I saved an injured female in the woods! She¡¯s dying!¡± His voice was also mesmerizing. Hold on! Female? Dying? Qiao Mo looked puzzled. She had only sprained her ankle, had a cut in her abdomen and bled a little. It was basically a problem that could be solved with a band-aid and some ice. Soon, Qiao Mo was sent into a small house made of boulders. Qiao Mo was thrown onto a huge rock in a way that wasn¡¯t too gentle. Shaman Evan was a venomous snake beastman with a long and slender figure as well as scary snake tattoos on his cheeks. However, he was very handsome. Under his dark hair was a pair of red, effeminate eyes that gave off an unfathomable softness. ¡°Harry, why did you call me here so urgently? Did something happen?¡± Qiao Mo looked at the white wolf who had saved him. So his name was Harry. At this moment, Harry was wrapping a layer of thick animal skin around his naked waist and abdomen. However, the animal skin wasn¡¯t long enough and could only cover his plump and muscular buttocks. It couldn¡¯t completely cover the long and thick part between his legs. One section of it was exposed under the animal skin. Harry looked over, and Qiao Mo hurriedly closed her eyes. She was really afraid that she would have a dream about it if she took another look. As for whether it would be a nightmare or¡­ Qiao Mo blushed and tried to look serious, but she couldn¡¯t help but take another look at Harry. It wasn¡¯t that she was lecherous. She was just curious about Harry¡¯s appearance under the mask. Harry said, ¡°This female was attacked by the snake beastman king in the forest and was injured.¡± Hearing the mention of the snake king, Evan was obviously stunned for a moment. He checked the wound on Qiao Mo¡¯s abdomen and her obviously swollen ankle before finally flicking out his tongue. ¡°The injured female won¡¯t be able to survive the cold winter by herself. The wound inflicted by the venomous snake beastman has already been infected with venom. This will cause her to heat up and kill her!¡± Qiao Mo was a little confused because she had only gotten the scratch when she fell. The snake hadn¡¯t touched her. Why did Evan say that her wound was infected by venom? Was this fellow a quack or did he say that on purpose? However, Qiao Mo did not explain. She did not know if it was because the other party was a snake, but she felt that Evan¡¯s gloomy triangular eyes were full of treachery and it made her feel uneasy. Harry suddenly became anxious. ¡°Tribal Head Rem died from the snake king beastman¡¯s venom! Evan, you must save this female, no matter the price! I don¡¯t want that damned venom to kill anyone else!¡± Evan shook his head. ¡°Even if my treatment works, she won¡¯t be able to hunt in the short term and if she doesn¡¯t have a mate to feed her, she still won¡¯t be able to survive! Female, where¡¯s your mate?¡± Evan was asking Qiao Mo. Qiao Mo shook her head blankly. ¡°What¡­ what mate?¡± Evan gave her a long look, then turned to Harry. ¡°It seems she¡¯s a female without a mate. Even if I give her treatment, I doubt she¡¯ll survive this winter.¡± Harry clenched his fists and made up his mind. ¡°I¡¯ll provide her with food for the entire winter! I¡¯ll leave her injuries to you!¡± Evan looked surprised. There were a few other members from the wolf tribe who had come in at a later time. All of them looked shocked. One of them tried to persuade him, ¡°Harry, she¡¯s not your mate! Do you know how precious food is in winter?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Harry. Besides, we wolves don¡¯t ever provide for any females other than our mate. If you provide for her, then she will be your mate!¡± ¡°Once we wolf males choose a mate, we can¡¯t go back on our words for the rest of our lives. However, females can usually choose multiple mates. Harry, you don¡¯t understand this female! And look at how ugly she is! This decision is too reckless!¡± Ugly? Qiao Mo¡¯er touched her face. Although she wasn¡¯t considered a great beauty in her previous world, she was still fair and clean, with delicate and pretty facial features. She was the most eye-catching among this year¡¯s intern doctors. How could she say that she was ugly? But when Qiao Mo touched her face, she realized that her face was covered in mud and her entire body was dirty too. However, regardless of whether she was ugly or not, Qiao Mo did not intend to be anyone¡¯s mate. She was capable of treating this small injury too. Hence, when she saw Evan taking out something that looked like mud from a dirty basin and trying to apply it on her wound, Qiao Mo quickly avoided it and took out a band-aid from her bag.. Chapter 2 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Thank you for your kind intentions, but I can treat this small injury myself.¡± Qiao Mo pasted a band-aid on her wound. She then met Evan¡¯s dark gaze and added, ¡°I¡¯m immune to snake venom, I won¡¯t die.¡± Qiao Mo wasn¡¯t sure why Evan had said she¡¯d been infected by snake venom, but she was new to this place and didn¡¯t dare claim she hadn¡¯t been poisoned in case it might upset Evan¡¯s ego. Therefore, the best excuse was to say that she was immune to snake venom. As expected, Evan¡¯s gaze became gentler. ¡°Although you brought your own herbs, it¡¯s still better to let me perform an exorcism dance for you. This way, it can effectively reduce the evil diseases caused by injuries.¡± With that, Evan danced around Qiao Mo, his snake body twisting and turning and his hands moving around. Qiao Mo had never received such treatment in her life and felt a little at a loss of what she should do. ¡°Thank you, thank you¡­¡± Someone nearby said, ¡°This female is really lucky to have Shaman Evan perform the exorcism dance on her personally.¡± Harry asked, ¡°Are you from the Indian gray mongoose tribe? Or the honey badger tribe? It seems that these are the only two tribes that had immunity to snake venom.¡± Qiao Mo was stunned for a moment. She recalled that wolves seemed to be the natural enemy of the Indian gray mongoose, so she hurriedly said, ¡°I¡¯m not from the Indian gray mongoose tribe.¡± ¡°Then she must be from the honey badger tribe,¡± Evan said while dancing. Someone said, ¡°No wonder she¡¯s so ugly.¡± Someone else added, ¡°And she even forcibly refused the Shaman Evan¡¯s treatment. Honey badgers are aggressive and bellicose by nature, and they are not good at making friends. Besides, honey badgers tend to live alone. It¡¯s no wonder she¡¯s in the mountains by herself..¡± Harry lowered his head and said, ¡°I¡¯ll take care of her and provide enough food to support her through the winter. From now on, she¡¯ll be my mate.¡± Qiao Mo¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Wait, I wasn¡¯t poisoned, I don¡¯t need¡­¡± No one listened to Qiao Mo¡¯s words. At this moment, an old man walked in from outside. ¡°Even if she wasn¡¯t poisoned, her hind leg has suffered a serious injury and needs time to recover. Just a small injury is enough for us beastmen to die in the Myriad Beast Forest! Harry, your decision is correct. Your kindness has saved this young female. I hope that she won¡¯t let you down.¡± Qiao Mo was rendered speechless. The old man then looked around again. ¡°Before Tribal Head Rem passed away, he said that he wanted Harry to become our leader! The condition is that Harry finds a mate that belongs to him! From today onwards, Harry has gained the qualifications to be our leader!¡± The wolf beastmen cheered and went to prepare for tonight¡¯s bonfire party. After Evan finished his dance, he left Qiao Mo and a little girl named Lily in the room. Lily helped to apply medicine to Qiao Mo¡¯s feet. When Qiao Mo realized that Evan had prescribed a type of crushed herb for her ankle, she did not refuse. Lily was an ugly little girl with an upturned nose and eyes that were like green beans. However, she said to Qiao Mo, ¡°You¡¯re really lucky. Harry is the most handsome and strongest male in our tribe. Many females have professed to him but were rejected. He didn¡¯t even look at a beautiful girl like me. Even the Elder¡¯s daughter, Aisha, couldn¡¯t win his favor!¡± Qiao Mo looked at Lily suspiciously and asked curiously, ¡°Harry is the leader of your tribe?¡± Lily smiled mysteriously. ¡°He isn¡¯t yet, but he already has the qualifications.¡± ¡°Actually, Harry wasn¡¯t originally a male of our tribe. He was hunted down by something in the Myriad Beast Forest. It was our previous tribal head, Rem, who had saved him. In order to save him, Tribal Head Rem suffered a very serious injury and died not long after he returned. But before he died, he appointed Harry as the new leader of the tribe. The condition was that he had to find his mate, and his mate must be acknowledged by our tribesmen.¡± Qiao Mo said in a soft voice, ¡°What a strange condition.¡± Lily looked at Qiao Mo strangely. ¡°What¡¯s so strange about that? The only way to continue the next generation is to find a mate. It was because Tribal Head Rem was abandoned by his female mate that he didn¡¯t have any descendants and had no one to succeed him. He must not want Harry to be like him.¡± ¡°But don¡¯t be nervous. It¡¯s not hard to gain recognition. You happen to be in your estrus period. As long as you mate with Harry in the near future and give birth to his cubs, everyone will acknowledge you!¡± Lily reached out her nose and sniffed at Qiao Mo¡¯s lower abdomen, her face full of envy. However, Qiao Mo looked very embarrassed. She had no intention of birthing children to a wolf! However, at the thought of Harry, who wore a mysterious mask, Qiao Mo couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously, ¡°Have you seen Harry take off his mask?¡± Lily shook her head. ¡°No one has seen Harry¡¯s face before. Everyone in the tribe is secretly spreading rumors that Harry¡¯s background is not simple. Otherwise, why would the old tribal head risk his life to save him and even hand over the position of leader to him? Some people are guessing that he is someone who escaped from a big family in the Beast God City because his mask might be made of iron. Only those big clans have the qualifications to grasp smithing iron.¡± At night, after Harry returned from the bonfire party, he entered the room and untied the animal skin. Qiao Mo was sleeping groggily, still thinking about her transmigration in her half-asleep state. Since she could not think of a way to go back for now, she could only stay here for the time being. Once her leg injury got better, she would try to look for the cave from which she had transmigrated from. She might be able to return then. It was Harry¡¯s footsteps that woke Qiao Mo. She opened her eyes to see Hari untying the animal skin around his waist. In the next moment, a strong and muscular male figure was displayed before Qiao Mo¡¯s eyes, including the strong, thick, and masculine thing under his crotch! Qiao Mo gasped and sat up, shrinking back. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Harry¡¯s face had also turned red under the mask. His two snow-white ears were pressed back and he pursed his firm lips. ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t know how you honey badgers mate. Do you like to use your beastman form or your actual form? I have no problems with either.¡± Qiao Mo¡¯s face instantly turned red all the way to her ears. ¡°Who wants to mate with you?¡± Harry¡¯s beautiful eyes revealed a look of incomprehension. ¡°You¡¯re already my mate, so why can¡¯t you mate with me? Since I¡¯ve already chosen a mate, then I hope that we can have children as soon as possible and fulfill Old Rem¡¯s dying wish and to lead this tribe well!¡± Qiao Mo was speechless. ¡°But I never said I wanted to be your mate.¡± Harry¡¯s face darkened. ¡°But you didn¡¯t object to it earlier either. Everyone thinks you¡¯re my mate now. If you abandon me, believe me, the dinner banquet over there isn¡¯t over yet. My wolf companions are still missing a main course. I¡¯m sure they wouldn¡¯t mind that it¡¯s a roasted honey badger.¡± Qiao Mo opened her mouth. She almost forgot that these guys were wild beasts. If she offended them, she might really become their appetizer. ¡°But my leg is injured. I can¡¯t¡­ I can¡¯t mate for the time being.¡± Qiao Mo blushed as she said this. She really wanted to find a hole to hide in. Hari frowned and looked at Qiao Mo¡¯s ankle, which was still covered with herbs. His heart softened. ¡°You had just gotten injured today so it must hurt, doesn¡¯t it? I can leave you alone tonight, but we have to mate once before your estrus period is over. Just once. We can use a position that you are most comfortable with. I promise I¡¯ll be gentle and won¡¯t hurt you. Can you promise me that?¡± Qiao Mo¡¯s face had turned so red that it looked like it was going to explode. What lewd talk was this guy saying! It could be that she was in her menstrual period and wolves would definitely be able to smell something given their strong sense of smell. For animals, their menstrual period was indeed their estrus period.. They¡¯d only be able to be impregnated if they mate during this period¡­ Chapter 3 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Blushing, Qiao Mo bit her lip and averted her gaze, not daring to look at Harry. ¡°We¡¯ll talk about that later. I want to recuperate first. I don¡¯t like to be forced¡­¡± Harry was stunned for a moment, then nodded and jumped onto the bed in a few quick steps. His movements were swift and fierce. Qiao Mo let out a surprised cry, ¡°What are you doing!¡± Harry had already passed by Qiao Mo and lay on his side next to her. He reached out and pulled Qiao Mo into his arms, saying in a gentle voice, ¡°I promised not to force you, but from now on, I¡¯m your mate, so I¡¯ll try to please you and get close to you until you¡¯re willing to mate with me.¡± Qiao Mo struggled uneasily. ¡°But I¡¯m not used to sleeping with someone hugging me.¡± Harry furrowed his beautiful brows. ¡°It¡¯s cold in winter, and your fur isn¡¯t thick. If I don¡¯t hug you to keep you warm, you¡¯ll freeze to death by tomorrow morning.¡± Qiao Mo also realized that. It was still warm in the day due to the sun, but now that she had woken up in the middle of the night, she felt that the house was unusually cold. It was summer when she transmigrated, so she was wearing jeans and a shirt that showed off her waist. She was indeed shivering in the cold as she lay on the stone bed. Coupled with the fact that she had fallen into the mud today and now that the mud had dried, she felt uncomfortable all over. Qiao Mo asked, ¡°Are there any hot water? I want to take a bath.¡± ¡°Hot water?¡± Harry was confused at first, but he quickly leaped up and ran out of the room. ¡°Wait for me!¡± From this moment on, he would do everything he could to please his partner until she was willing to mate with him! Qiao Mo looked at his back view, as well as the big load at his crotch. She couldn¡¯t help but close her eyes tightly and sigh. Before long, Harry returned with a very large stone bucket. It looked like a bucket that was made from digging away the center of a giant rock and then polished. With the water included, Qiao Mo felt that even the joint forces of two or three adult men might not be able to lift it. A straw mat covered the top of the stone bucket, but it still couldn¡¯t conceal the steam coming from inside. ¡°This is what Shaman Evan is going to use to fumigate his house tomorrow. You can use it to bathe. I¡¯ll give him another one tomorrow.¡± Harry placed the heavy stone bucket next to the bed and it made a loud noise when it landed. As for bathing, they didn¡¯t need to bathe in hot water. However, Harry knew that there were females from large clans in the Beast God City who would bathe in hot water. Qiao Mo looked at Harry, who had no intention of leaving. ¡°Can you¡­ go out?¡± Harry looked at her, puzzled. ¡°Why should I go out?¡± Qiao Mo thought about how this was the beastmen¡¯s world. When female beastmen bathed, they couldn¡¯t possibly be worried that they would be looked at by males, right? It would be very strange if she asked Harry to leave. It might even arouse his suspicion. If this fellow knew that she was human, he might treat her as food. Qiao Mo looked at the torch in the room. ¡°Go and put out the fire. I don¡¯t like it to be so bright when I take a bath.¡± Harry did as he was told, and the house was instantly pitch-black. Qiao Mo stood by the bucket and quickly took off her clothes, removing the herbs that were on her ankle. The hot steam instantly made Qiao Mo feel comfortable. However, she was still in her menstrual period, so she did not dare to sit in the bucket. She could only stand next to it and wipe down her body. Qiao Mo then recalled that she had shampoo, shower gel, and a towel in her hiking bag. She moved to the side of the bed and carefully used her memory to feel around the bed. As she touched it, Qiao Mo felt a leathery surface. It didn¡¯t feel like her backpack, but more like animal skin. It was Harry¡¯s skin! ¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡± She hurriedly retracted her hand, but in the next moment, her wrist was grabbed. Her entire body was tugged by a strong force, and she instantly flew into a tough embrace. It was only after Qiao Mo sat down, that she realized that she was sitting in Harry¡¯s embrace with her back facing him. His soft hair was rubbing against her back. Below, Qiao Mo also felt a hard foreign object pressing between her legs. This made Qiao Mo suck in a breath of cold air. Her legs instantly clamped up and she tried to exert force in an attempt to break free from Harry¡¯s embrace. However, Harry held onto her waist tightly with his strong arms, making her unable to budge. An alluring and pleasant voice rang out next to her ear, ¡°Spread your legs. I can¡¯t get in¡­¡± Qiao Mo¡¯s face had turned red all the way to the tips of her ears. She struggled and twisted her body. ¡°Let go of me. You promised that you won¡¯t¡­ won¡¯t mate tonight¡­¡± Harry¡¯s prickly tongue lightly brushed against Qiao Mo¡¯s earlobe, giving her a different feeling. ¡°Be good, I promise that I¡¯ll be very gentle. I really can¡¯t hold it in anymore¡­¡± The female¡¯s estrous scent was simply too stimulating for him. Furthermore, wolves were night-vision animals. Although there were refractions from light sources and in the dark, he had already seen the female¡¯s body clearly. Now that he was embracing the female in his arms and she was his mate, Harry really didn¡¯t want to hold back his desires anymore. Qiao Mo felt that something very hard and hot was nudging hard between her legs. Harry also seemed to have realized that it was difficult to continue in this position. He reached out his hands and grabbed Qiao Mo¡¯s waist, gently lifting her up a little in an attempt to successfully mate.. Chapter 4 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Qiao Mo¡¯s naked body was lifted up by him, and the man¡¯s huge thing was ready to strike. Qiao Mo immediately let out a surprised gasp, her entire body trembling as she cried, ¡°You promised me, you said you wouldn¡¯t do anything tonight¡­¡± God! She was going to be raped by a wolf! Qiao Mo could not accept this! But what came on even stronger was the fear and unease she felt from their disparity in strength. Harry¡¯s movements suddenly stopped. In the next moment, he hugged Qiao Mo in his arms again, his warm palm gently clenching one of her breasts. His alluring and low laughter rang into her ears. ¡°My female¡¯s figure is very good.¡± Before Qiao Mo could react, Harry had already dashed out of the room like a cannonball. He had to calm down! Qiao Mo trembled as she let out a long exhale of relief. She felt for her backpack and grabbed it, biting her lip as she frantically searched her backpack. She found it! A travel-sized wash set! Not knowing if she was holding onto shower gel or shampoo, Qiao Mo stood in the bucket and frantically squeezed out some and spread it onto her entire body. After Qiao Mo was done cleaning up and was wiping her body, Qiao Mo thought about how she didn¡¯t have any thick items of clothing. Harry¡¯s voice suddenly came from next to her. ¡°This is the animal skin I borrowed from the Elder¡¯s daughter. You can change into it first.¡± Qiao Mo gasped in the cold air as Harry placed the thick animal skin in her hands. Qiao Mo hurriedly grabbed the animal skin and wrapped it around her body. The torches in the house were lit up again. When Harry turned to look at Qiao Mo, he was stunned on the spot. Although he could see her movements with his night vision, Qiao Mo¡¯s figure was almost black and white in the darkness. He could only see her curvaceous figure and felt increasingly satisfied with this partner. But now, under the bright lights, The girl in front of him had snow-white skin and her wet black hair draped over her shoulders. As she didn¡¯t know how to put on the animal skin, it was messily wrapped around her, exposing large patches of her snow-white skin. Her skin was as fair as snow in winter, and he was afraid that he would break it with a touch! Because female beastmen had to work throughout the year, most of their skin was dark or tanned and would show obvious signs of aging. In addition to them having irregular animal stripes on their bodies when they transformed, this was the first time Harry had seen such beautiful, fair, and flawless skin. And now, Qiao Mo¡¯s face was clean and there were no animal stripes or impurities on her fair face. Harry swore that this was the most beautiful female he had ever seen in his life. Even Princess Shuna from the Beast God City couldn¡¯t compare to his mate! He was very happy. He had originally thought that his mate was not good-looking, but he did not expect that she was a treasure gifted to him by the heavens! ¡°You¡¯re so beautiful! I¡¯ve never seen a female more beautiful than you!¡± This was the first time in Harry¡¯s life that he had spoken such praises to a female. Qiao Mo blushed. She looked down and saw that she had put on the clothes in a mess, so she turned around and tidied them. Although it was winter wear, the animal skin could not cover the entire body. It was just a sleeveless animal skin top and an animal skin skirt similar to a short skirt. Perhaps it was because beastmen were more resistant to the cold, and the animal skin was limited and precious, so there wasn¡¯t much material to wear. Qiao Mo had just taken a hot bath and her arms and legs were exposed to the air, causing her to shiver from the cold. Harry jumped up happily and hugged Qiao Mo, pushing her down onto the bed. He pressed down onto Qiao Mo¡¯s body, lowering his head and looking down at her lovingly with his deep blue eyes. ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve seen such a weak female. But don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely take good care of you.¡± With that, he lay down beside Qiao Mo, still holding her tightly in his arms, trying to use his body temperature to warm her up. Qiao Mo¡¯s heart was beating wildly because she had never slept in a man¡¯s arms except for her father. Furthermore, although she couldn¡¯t tell if Harry¡¯s looks were good or bad, his figure was absolutely a walking hormone! It would be a lie to say that Qiao Mo could remain calm in his arms. Harry¡¯s breathing resounded in Qiao Mo¡¯s ears, sounding very heavy throughout the night. Qiao Mo knew that he was not asleep because his thing was pushing against her waist the entire time. Just like that, after continuing in the groggy half-asleep state until daybreak, Harry put on the animal skin and got up to head out. Only then did Qiao Mo finally fall deep into sleep. When she opened her eyes again, it was much warmer in the house. It turned out that Harry had gone out to find twigs and wood, drying them in the warm hours of the morning sun before bringing them in to burn in the house. When Qiao Mo walked out of the stone house, she found Harry sorting the firewood in the yard. A tall female beastman with dark skin stood beside him. She had high cheekbones and no flesh on either cheek. She looked strangely like an alien from movies. The alien was angrily accusing Harry, ¡°You know how precious dry wood is in winter, yet you used up so much firewood to warm a honey badger. Harry, so you¡¯re just another brainless guy trying to please a female. You¡¯re really disappointing!¡± Harry did not raise his head. Half of his silver mask reflected a cold gleam under the winter sun. ¡°I got these firewoods by myself when I went out. I did not exhaust the tribe¡¯s resources. This has nothing to do with you, Aisha!¡± Aisha instantly bit her lip. At this moment, she saw Qiao Mo walking to the door. ¡°She¡¯s the new female? Oh my god, I¡¯ve never seen such an ugly female before. I heard that she¡¯s from the honey badger tribe? They say that those from this tribe are all very ugly.. To think that it¡¯s true!¡± Chapter 5 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Aisha? Qiao Mo remembered that Lily mentioned that Aisha was the daughter of the tribe¡¯s Elder. But what did she just say earlier? That she was ugly? Last night, Harry had clearly praised her for being beautiful. Could it be that beastmen had different aesthetic standards? Qiao Mo reached out to touch her face, but when she retracted her hand, she realized that her palm was covered in black ash. Who had smeared ash onto her face? Looking at Harry, Qiao Mo felt a little speechless. It seemed that he was the culprit. When Harry saw that Qiao Mo had woken up, he immediately put down the things in his hand and walked over to her. ¡°Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I¡¯ll go prepare food for you.¡± Seeing how caring Harry was acting towards Qiao Mo, Aisha was so angry that her teeth itched. She really didn¡¯t understand why Harry would give up on a beautiful female like her and instead fawn over an ugly honey badger! This was the wolf tribe¡¯s territory and there had always been only the wolves in their tribe. However, ever since the Shaman Evan joined them, it seemed that the other tribesmen were no longer so repulsed against those from other tribes. ¡°This won¡¯t do! I need to talk to my mother about this. It¡¯s time for us to establish a rule. If we can forbid our tribesmen from marrying someone from another or drive away those from other races who have no contributions to the tribe, we might be able to expel this hateful honey badger!¡± Aisha thought.¡± Qiao Mo was indeed hungry because she had not eaten anything since yesterday. ¡°What do you have to eat?¡± Harry was about to answer when he heard someone yelling outside, ¡°Shaman Evan! Shaman Evan, where are you? Elder Jessie is in trouble!¡± Aisha countenance immediately turned nervous. Elder Jessie was her mother. The next moment, Aisha had already rushed out. Harry only said to Qiao Mo, ¡°Wait for me here! Right, don¡¯t wash your face! It¡¯ll be very dangerous!¡± He then ran off quickly in another direction. Qiao Mo looked puzzled. She went to the water tank and looked at her face. Harry had indeed smeared it with black ash. They must have been left behind when he was burning the firewood. When Harry and Aisha arrived at the empty area of the wolf tribe, they saw a young wolf standing in the open space with blood all over his face and shouting. He was carrying an elderly who didn¡¯t look too strong on his face. The elderly¡¯s body was covered in blood and looked like she was on the verge of death. It was Elder Jessie! ¡°We went out hunting with Elder Jessie this morning and we ran into a berserk leopon. It was very powerful, and we only managed to cover for Elder Jesse to bring her back after two of our companions died!¡± The young wolf said quickly, ¡°Shaman Evan, please save my mate!¡± Evan had been called over by this time. ¡°Lay her down on the ground and let me check her injuries.¡± The young man obeyed and placed Elder Jessie on the ground. Aisha¡¯s entire body was trembling and she reached out her hands to grab onto Harry¡¯s arm. Harry immediately broke free from her grip. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Shaman Evan has great medical skills. I believe he will be able to cure Elder Jesse with his dance.¡± Aisha nodded with a pale face. However, right after that, Evan lifted the clothes on Elder Jessie¡¯s abdomen, only to see that it had been torn open, and blood was still flowing out. Everyone from the wolf tribe gasped. Some of them were already crying. Evan shook his head and looked at everyone with his gloomy snake eyes. ¡°It¡¯s impossible to recover from such a serious injury. There¡¯s nothing I can do about it.¡± The crying sounds around them increased, mixed with sighs. Everyone already knew the outcome when they saw the injury. An injury of this level could take any wolf beastman¡¯s life. Even if the bleeding was stopped, one could still experience a rise in body temperature, loss of consciousness, and eventually death. An evil disease like this had never been cured by the shaman¡¯s dance before! Moreover, the flesh was split open in large patches and there was no way to stop the bleeding, let alone to let it patch up and heal. Aisha immediately rushed forward and hugged Elder Jessie¡¯s body. ¡°Shaman Evan! You haven¡¯t even tried, so why are you saying that you can¡¯t cure it? I beg of you! Please dance and save my mother!¡± A few of Elder Jessie¡¯s younger mates also pleaded, ¡°Please, Shaman Evan, please dance!¡± Qiao Mo slowly pushed her way through the crowd to Harry¡¯s side. She asked softly, ¡°What happened?¡± There was someone laying on the ground and she looked like she was dying. Everyone was pleading for Evan to dance. Was it to celebrate? Harry¡¯s eyes said with a sad gaze, ¡°Elder Jessie was attacked by a berserk leopon. She¡¯s dying.¡± Qiao Mo asked doubtfully, ¡°A leopon? Is it poisonous?¡± Harry shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s not¡± Qiao Mo asked, ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you guys hurry up and perform suture? Why are they asking the doctor to dance instead?¡± After saying that, she slapped her forehead. How could such a backward beastman tribe know about suture? They probably thought that dancing the shaman¡¯s dance could dispel diseases. She recalled watching a clip about animals in the past. Wolves who survived in the wild needed to be very careful when hunting. They did not dare to let themselves get injured because the chances of them dying after getting injured was very high. Harry said, ¡°But external injuries of this level can¡¯t heal on their own. There¡¯s no way to stop the bleeding and patch up the wound. Elder Jessie can only wait for death.¡± Qiao Mo said, ¡°Maybe I can treat her. Go get my biggest backpack. Hurry!¡± Harry was stunned. ¡°You¡¯re a shaman?¡± Qiao Mo said anxiously, ¡°I¡¯ll explain later! Hurry!¡± Without another word, Harry transformed into his wolf form and dashed toward his house.. Chapter 6 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Qiao Mo had thought it through. Lily had said yesterday that the other condition for Harry to become the tribal head was for his partner to gain the tribe¡¯s recognition. Lily said that Qiao Mo would get recognition as long as she gave Harry a child, but Qiao Mo did not really want to do that. If she could save Elder Jessie, she might be able to receive recognition. Besides, not only did Harry save her, but he also treated her very well. In addition, Qiao Mo might need to live here for a while, so it was necessary to build good relationships. She would just treat it as repayment for Harry saving her from the giant snake. Qiao Mo walked out of the crowd. ¡°Can I take a look? I know a little surgery¡­ It¡¯s just a treatment for external injuries. Maybe I can save her?¡± Everyone from the wolf tribe looked at Qiao Mo. Aisha glared at Qiao Mo angrily. ¡°Get lost, you damned honey badger! What do you want to do to my mother?¡± Her wolf eyes were bloodshot, looking a little bloodthirsty. Qiao Mo had never experienced such a situation before and was so frightened that she took a small step back. However, it was precisely because of this small step that everyone did not have much confidence in her. ¡°The cowardly honey badger only knows how to boast. Don¡¯t let her touch Elder Jessie!¡± ¡°I really don¡¯t know why Harry is supporting this ugly and incompetent honey badger!¡± Everyone stared angrily at Qiao Mo. Even the young wolf beastman who had just carried Elder Jessie back blocked Qiao Mo¡¯s path. ¡°I won¡¯t allow you to touch my female!¡± Two other young wolf beastmen who had escaped with him also stood up and glared at Qiao Mo, whom they were unfamiliar with and was a beastman not from their tribe. The three of them were Elder Jessie¡¯s mates. In beastmen tribes, females could usually accept many males, while males could only choose one female as their mate. Qiao Mo said patiently, ¡°I really have a way to cure her, but the condition is that you have to cooperate with me. Shaman Evan has already declared her death, so let me try. Even if I can¡¯t cure her, you won¡¯t have anything to lose. But if I can cure her, won¡¯t that be your luck?¡± The male wolf beastmen looked at each other and felt that what Qiao Mo said made sense. However, Shaman Evan stood up and looked at Qiao Mo coldly. ¡°You said you can cure injuries that even I can¡¯t? But I¡¯ve never heard of the honey badger race having the talent to be a shaman.¡± Everyone nodded. Great aptitude was required for one to be a shaman. It was a role that required one to be extremely intelligent, cunning, and diligent. Generally speaking, only the diligent goat race, the cunning fox race, the ape race, the snake race, as well as some minority races would have shamans. ¡°Let her try! I believe her!¡± Harry rushed back with Qiao Mo¡¯s backpack in his mouth. He instantly transformed into his human form and handed Qiao Mo¡¯s backpack to her as he said in a deep voice, ¡°I¡¯m someone who¡¯s about to become the tribal head. I have the right to agree to her treatment for Elder Jessie! Move!¡± He glared at the young men who were blocking in front of Qiao Mo. Because Harry was the strongest person in the tribe, no one dared to go against him. They all silently moved aside. Only Aisha continued to stay in front of Elder Jessie, glaring at Qiao Mo. She believed that the cunning honey badger was up to no good. Perhaps she was trying to take revenge on her attitude today. However, Harry¡¯s eyes narrowed as he stared at Aisha. He bared his teeth at her in a threatening manner. Because she was afraid of Harry¡¯s ferocity, Aisha could only crawl two steps to the side. Qiao Mo carried her backpack and quickly went up. She rummaged through her bulging mountain bag. All the wolf beastmen stared at her movements, especially Elder Jessie¡¯s mates. They had decided that if this honey badger tried to harm Elder Jessie, they would immediately pounce on her and tear her apart! ¡°I found it!¡± Qiao Mo took out a simplified medical bag. Since she was out hiking and in consideration of the nature of her job, Qiao Mo always carried a medical bag with her. There was a lot of stuff inside. However, Qiao Mo hesitated when she saw the large wound on Jessie¡¯s abdomen. She was in her third year of university and had already entered the hospital for an internship. She was an intern for the surgical department, but she did not have a lot of surgical experience. Her experiences only entailed the corpses used for experiments in school¡­ Alright, she hadn¡¯t really operated on a human before, let alone a wolf. She regretted not having learned to be a vet back then¡­ Squatting down, Qiao Mo disinfected the needle and thread with alcohol. ¡°It¡¯ll hurt because there¡¯s no anesthesia. Will she be able to endure it?¡± Harry didn¡¯t understand what Qiao Mo wanted to do, but he still answered, ¡°Every member of the wolf tribe is the bravest and valiant warrior!¡± Qiao Mo put on her gloves and looked at the wound. ¡°I¡¯ll disinfect the wound first. There are some foreign substances inside that I¡¯ll need to remove.¡± She used a pair of disinfected tweezers to remove some of the impurities from the wound, then used the disinfectant to wash off the sand on the wound. Elder Jessie, who was already unconscious, screamed in agony the moment the disinfectant was poured onto her wound. Her partners instantly bared their fangs and wanted to charge forward! Qiao Mo shouted sternly, ¡°Help me hold her down! This hurts a lot, but she mustn¡¯t move.¡± Jessie¡¯s mates, who were baring their teeth, became inexplicably obedient. They changed their movements from attacking Qiao Mo to pressing down on Jessie¡¯s limbs. After doing this, the three wolf beastmen looked at each other and saw awkwardness in each other¡¯s eyes. They had a natural desire to obey commands from a female¡­ Chapter 7 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After Qiao Mo disinfected the wound, she sprinkled some medicinal powder to stop the bleeding. Then, she quickly pinched Elder Jessie¡¯s torn skin and pierced the needle and thread through it without even blinking. Fortunately, her results were outstanding in the past and she had practiced many times on the specimens, so her movements were quite skilled. Shaman Evan narrowed his snake-like eyes and stared at Qiao Mo¡¯s movements, his eyes flickering as if he was doubting the reason behind this action. Aisha had started babbling and screaming away when Qiao Mo started on the first stitch. ¡°I can¡¯t believe you¡¯re stitching my mother¡¯s body as if she is a piece of animal skin! Harry, aren¡¯t you going to stop her?¡± Aisha bared her fangs at Qiao Mo to threaten her. Qiao Mo did not have the time to pay any heed to her. This Elder Jessie had several cuts on her body and the wounds were unbearable to look at. She had to focus on treating the wounds. Harry said, ¡°She¡¯s not holding a sharp bone, so she¡¯s not sewing it like animal skin. I think she¡¯s saving Elder Jessie.¡± Everyone from the wolf tribe whispered amongst themselves. Although Qiao Mo was not holding onto a sharp bone, her actions were similar to the ones they usually did when sewing animal skin clothing. How could she save people like this? Shaman Evan said coldly, ¡°Even if she can¡¯t save Elder Jessie, at least her body will look much more intact.¡± Aisha threw herself at Shaman Evan again. ¡°Shaman Evan! Please dance for my mother!¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± Qiao Mo, who was solemnly suturing the wounds for the patient, could not help but burst into laughter. ¡°Don¡¯t. There¡¯s no need to liven things up for me.¡± Qiao Mo made it seem as if the dance was meant to liven things up for her. Evan nodded and then started to dance around Jessie¡¯s body. Qiao Mo despised him for causing trouble. Evan continued while saying, ¡°I can only do my best with such injuries, but I¡¯m not capable of healing them. However, I¡¯ve thought of someone who might be able to heal your mother¡¯s wounds.¡± Aisha¡¯s teary eyes lit up. ¡°Who is it? I¡¯ll invite him over immediately!¡± Evan did a horse stance and his arms raised as if he was embracing the sky. ¡°Ace!¡± Aisha¡¯s expression was first stunned, then turned into despair. ¡°Dr. Ace from the fox tribe?¡± An elderly who had just rushed over happened to hear this. He shook his head and said, ¡°Ace is a greedy and cunning fellow. If we ask him to treat Elder Jessie, he will ask for a lot of food and resources. It¡¯ll be something we wolf tribe cannot afford.¡± Qiao Mo knew this old man. He was the old man who had advocated for Harry and her to become mates yesterday. It seemed that he had quite a high status in the wolf tribe. Everyone else agreed. ¡°Indeed. Although Ace became the most proficient in medical skills in the Myriad Beast Forest with his intelligence, he is really too greedy. The higher the status of the patient, the more things he¡¯d ask from them.¡± ¡°There¡¯s a shortage of food this winter. Many tribes have starved to death. If we supply Ace with a large amount of food, how are we going to survive the winter?¡± ¡°Right! We absolutely must not get involved with that greedy fellow!¡± Someone whispered, ¡°It¡¯s fine if Elder Jessie can be cured, but Ace has a rule that he¡¯ll collect the food first regardless if the patient can be cured. Elder Jessie has suffered such a serious injury that I doubt that even Ace would have much of a chance, right?¡± These words sent a wave of despair through Aisha. She pleaded, ¡°Is there no other way, Shaman Evan?¡± Evan shook his head. Aisha started to cry. The attitude of the tribesmen was clear in that they were unwilling to have everyone go all out to beg that greedy fox. Did that mean that her mother could only wait for death? ¡°It¡¯s done,¡± At this moment, Qiao Mo stood up and took off her gloves before instructing Jessie¡¯s three mates. ¡°Carry her into the house. Do so steadily and lay her flat on the bed. If her body starts to heat up at night, call me anytime.¡± The place instantly turned a little quieter. Everyone looked at Elder Jessie, who was on the ground. They saw that Qiao Mo had finished stitching up her wounds, and there were a few white patches on them that didn¡¯t look like animal skin. One of Jessie¡¯s partners reached his hand out, wanting to see what the white thing was, but Qiao Mo slapped his hand away. ¡°Don¡¯t touch it. That¡¯s gauze. Before I say we can remove it, no one is allowed to touch it.¡± Jessie¡¯s three mates nodded blankly. Harry took a step forward and asked, ¡°It¡¯s done? Qiao Mo hadn¡¯t danced nor used any herbs. She had just done a few stitches into Elder Jessie¡¯s body like she was sewing a piece of animal skin. Was that all? Qiao Mo could not explain that the most important thing in dealing with such wounds was disinfecting and stopping the bleeding. As long as there were no infections or continual loss of blood, such injuries weren¡¯t fatal. It was just that the medical conditions here were too bad. Animals who lived in the wilderness would indeed have a high mortality rate if they were to experience tremendous blood loss as well as their wounds not getting disinfected. ¡°It¡¯s done. She¡¯s only unconscious now. Don¡¯t let her move around even after she wakes up. I hope she can rest and recuperate in bed until I say that the gauze can be removed.¡± Jessie¡¯s mates nodded blankly. Qiao Mo was angry. ¡°Why are you in a daze? Carry her in!¡± The three young wolf beastmen lifted Jessie¡¯s head and feet, with one of them supporting her body. They threw an apologetic glance at Shaman Evan, who hadn¡¯t finished his dance, and disappeared out of sight with Jessie in tow. Evan awkwardly continued his dance for a little bit more before he stopped and explained, ¡°Even if she¡¯s not here, this result of this exorcism dance has already taken effect..¡± Chapter 8 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios As Elder Jessie was still unconscious and the effect of Qiao Mo¡¯s treatment was still not obvious, everyone was still skeptical about her so-called treatment. After Elder Jessie was carried away, Qiao Mo and Harry returned to their residence. Qiao Mo sat on the doorstep of Harry¡¯s house and counted the items in her bag. The medicine was in a small plastic box that she had packed into as she usually did. She had only brought five anti-inflammatory pills and had just given Jessie one earlier. ¡°There are still four anti-inflammatory pills and five flu pills left¡­¡± Qiao Mo was counting when she smelled the fragrance of meat. Her stomach rumbled almost immediately. She had been hungry for two days! She was starving! She looked up and saw Harry roasting an antelope. The aroma was coming from it. The antelope¡¯s skin had been roasted until it was golden and crisp, and it looked appetizing. Qiao Mo walked over quickly and licked her lips as she asked, ¡°Are we eating this today?¡± Harry nodded. ¡°Do you like it?¡± Qiao Mo quickly nodded. She loved mutton. Harry didn¡¯t mind that it was hot and tore off a piece of venison leg, handing it to Qiao Mo. Qiao Mo blew on it a little and tried to take a bite, but was immediately choked by the game stench coming from it. She handed the venison leg back to Harry uncomfortably. ¡°You guys don¡¯t use seasoning when roasting meat?¡± Harry asked, ¡°What are seasonings?¡± An expected answer¡­ Qiao Mo gestured for him to wait for a moment before she ran back and took out her backpack again. In Harry¡¯s eyes, this hiking bag was probably like Doraemon¡¯s pocket, as if any treasure could be taken out from it. As Qiao Mo searched through it, she said, ¡°Luckily, we were preparing to go for a cookout on the mountain. I brought quite a lot of things with me, but I didn¡¯t bring much of each. We probably won¡¯t get to use them for long.¡± As she spoke, she took out her cookout bag. It was a small bag that she had bought online, specially used to store cookout equipment. There were two metal cups and four small metal plates hanging on the inside of the bag. There were also a few places in the bag that were used to store forks, spoons, and chopsticks. Other than that, there were a few small seasoning cans the length of an index finger. They were also metal cans. ¡°Salt¡­ cumin¡­ chili powder¡­ white pepper¡­ MSG¡­ I also brought a small bottle of cooking wine. This is a real treasure.¡± As Qiao Mo spoke, she put on a pair of medical disposable gloves and sprinkled some wine on her hands, then applied them to the antelope¡¯s body. She then sprinkled some white pepper and salt onto it. After the two seasonings melted over the fire, Qiao Mo sprinkled some cumin on it. Because she wasn¡¯t sure if Harry could eat spicy food, she only sprinkled chili powder on her portion of the venison leg. Harry looked at Qiao Mo with a strange expression. He watched as she pulled out a pile of bottles and cans he hadn¡¯t seen before, then sprinkled a pile of powder on the antelope. Qiao Mo roasted the venison leg again before taking a sniff and then a bite. ¡°Tastes good! If you let me marinate it before roasting it next time, I promise it will taste even better!¡± Harry stared with his beautiful eyes, his white furry ears twitching on either side of his head. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Qiao Mo gestured for Harry to eat the other venison leg. ¡°Give it a try.¡± Harry¡¯s eyes under the mask were filled with puzzlement, but he did as he was told. The instant the venison leg entered his mouth, he froze! He looked at Qiao Mo in disbelief. He took another bite of the venison and savored it carefully in his mouth. The strong game stench had already faded quite a bit, but there was now a fresher and saltier taste. Coupled with the texture of the venison itself, it was so fragrant that it directly struck one¡¯s heart. ¡°Is it good?¡± Qiao Mo asked. Harry nodded in a daze. Beastmen had long learned how to roast food with fire, realizing that this could better stimulate the fragrance of food. Although there were still some beastmen who liked to eat bloody raw food, most of them would be despised, especially by female beastmen. But Harry had never thought it was possible to roast such delicious food over a fire. He felt that this should be due to the powder in Qiao Mo¡¯s hands. ¡°What is that?¡± Harry asked. Qiao Mo waved the bottle in her hand with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s salt. Although the salt in your meat is enough to replenish the sodium your body needs, it will taste more delicious with this seasoning salt.¡± Harry nodded, not really understanding Qiao Mo¡¯s words. ¡°Can you let me always be able to eat such delicious food from now on?¡± Qiao Mo wanted to nod, but she felt troubled. She didn¡¯t have a lot of seasonings in her hands. If she were to use them sparingly, they might be able to last for ten days to half a month. But if they were to roast an entire goat every day, it would probably not even be enough for a few meals. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Harry. I only have this bit of seasoning, but I¡¯ll try to think of a way to get as much for you, okay?¡± Qiao Mo reckoned that if there was seawater, she could sun some sea salt. This way, even if she left, Harry would still be able to eat salt in the future. Harry pondered for a moment. ¡°Can I smell them? Maybe I can help you find these¡­ seasonings.¡± Qiao Mo nodded and gave all the cans to Harry. He opened them one by one and sniffed at them. He then took note of the few scents. This meal was the most satisfying meal Harry had ever had in his life. The sizzling venison with fresh and salty seasoning greatly satisfied his appetite.. Chapter 9 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Halfway through her meal, Qiao Mo suddenly remembered something and took out a potato and a sweet potato from her backpack. Alright, she really didn¡¯t bring Doraemon¡¯s pocket with her. However, she was planning to camp and have a cookout on the mountain today. Some of her friends brought meat and some brought equipment. She brought seasonings, snacks, and a few fruits and vegetables that she liked. For example, roasted potato slices, roasted sweet potatoes, and corn were all Qiao Mo¡¯s favorites. When she pulled a plastic bag out of her bag, Harry¡¯s eyes under his silver mask looked doubtful again. ¡°What are you going to do again, little female?¡± There was nothing in Qiao Mo¡¯s bag that he had seen before. Qiao Mo shook the potato and sweet potato in her hand. ¡°Have you eaten these before?¡± Harry shook his head, but his blue eyes lit up. Then, he suddenly transformed into a huge white wolf and disappeared. Where did he go off to? Qiao Mo was puzzled, but she still found two sticks and placed the potato and sweet potato on the fire to roast. After a while, Harry returned. He was running back in human form, and his posture was very strange! He actually lifted his animal skin skirt with both hands, exposing that thick and long thing in the air, tossing around. He came rushing toward Qiao Mo! Qiao Mo was stunned! Exposure fetish? Pervert? However, when Harry got near, Qiao Mo realized that it was not the case. The reason Harry lifted his animal skin skirt was that he was using it to carry a pile of fruits. ¡°I¡¯ve asked the others in the tribe and they said that other than meat, honey badgers like fruits and insects more. Is there anything here that you like?¡± Harry¡¯s sexy and perfect lips curled into a shy smile. However, Qiao Mo noticed that there were a few scratches on Harry¡¯s mask, and there were even some bruises on the parts of his face that weren¡¯t covered by the mask. ¡°Why are you injured?¡± Qiao Mo stood up and asked. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Take a look and see if there are any fruits you like here. If there aren¡¯t any, I¡¯ll go pick more for you!¡± Harry said. Qiao Mo said, ¡°I¡¯m fine with anything. I like everything.¡± Harry shook all the fruits onto the ground and opened his palms to Qiao Mo. There were a few half-dead insects in his hands. ¡°These are for you.¡± Qiao Mo was so scared that she screamed and moved her butt backward. She was most afraid of bugs! It was the kind of fear she was born with, a terror that would cause her to break out in goosebumps. Those soft-bodied insects, especially, were lethal to her nerves. Seeing her expression, Harry quickly threw the bugs away. He used a lot of strength, and a few lighter bugs were sent flying far away, disappearing without a trace. Only then did Qiao Mo heave a sigh of relief. She swallowed hard and said gratefully, ¡°Thank you, Harry. I like these fruits very much, but as for the insects¡­¡± Harry nodded. ¡°I understand. From now on, there will only be fruits and no insects.¡± By this time, the potato and sweet potato were done roasting and were emitting a fragrance. Qiao Mo took them down and placed them on the plate from her bag. She used a small knife to peel the potato, cut them into slices, then sprinkled salt and chili powder on them. She handed Harry a slice. ¡°Give it a try.¡± Harry looked doubtfully at the yellow fruit in Qiao Mo¡¯s hand. He had never heard that a fruit could be roasted for eating! However, he still opened his mouth obediently, because Qiao Mo had already brought the yellow fruit to his mouth. ¡°Howl!¡± He chewed¡­ Harry closed his eyes and chewed with pleasure. The skin of this food was a little crispy after being roasted, but the texture was also very soft and fragrant. There was also a hint of sweetness. Delicious! Harry¡¯s pair of snow-white, furry ears twitched backward a few times in comfort. Harry¡¯s eyes lit up again. ¡°What fruit is this?¡± Qiao Mo said, ¡°This is a potato. Try this sweet potato.¡± She cut a slice of sweet potato and brought it to Harry¡¯s mouth. The sweet potato had a soft and mushy texture, but it tasted extremely sweet. The sweet potato that had been roasted was even sweeter than the sweetest fruit that Harry had ever eaten. It was like eating nectar, with the sweetness reaching to his heart. It was the feeling of bliss. Qiao Mo said, ¡°These two are not considered fruits. They are considered a staple food. They can be used to fill your stomach. Because they are digested slowly, you won¡¯t be hungry for a long time.¡± Harry got the gist of it. ¡°You came from the Beast God City? There are only wild fruits in the Myriad Beast Forest and I know all of them, but I¡¯ve never seen such fruits before.¡± Most of the tribes in the forest didn¡¯t know how to farm because the farming techniques were all in the hands of the big clans. They would excavate their land to cultivate and then sell what they grew to obtain benefits. This was the second time Qiao Mo had heard the Beast God City being mentioned. She had first heard about it from Lily. Lily said that Harry might have run away from a big clan in the Beast God City and his identity was very mysterious.. Chapter 10 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Qiao Mo shook her head. She had yet to figure out how to explain her origins. Furthermore, she was a little afraid of these wild beasts from the wolf tribe. She was worried that if they found out that she was a human, they would¡­ Looking at the roasting antelope over the fire, Qiao Mo smiled unnaturally. Seeing that she was unwilling to speak much about it, Harry did not press further. Qiao Mo ate another slice of potato. ¡°This thing is very easy to grow. Oh right, it¡¯s clearly winter now, so why are there fresh wild fruits in the forest?¡± Harry looked at Qiao Mo in confusion. ¡°Why can¡¯t there be wild fruits in winter? But there are indeed fewer wild fruits in winter. Only the fruit trees in the depths of the forest would have fruits. They are all guarded by the nearby tribes.¡± Qiao Mo was surprised. ¡°You fought with the tribes near the fruit trees to pick fruits for me?¡± Harry bit off a piece of venison without a care. ¡°For my female¡¯s sake, this injury is nothing. Even if you want the most precious golden fruit in the Beast God City, I will bring it over for you!¡± Qiao Mo suddenly felt a little touched. Although the reason she had agreed to stay behind was mainly to recuperate and because she was afraid of the wolf tribe, Harry¡¯s meticulous care truly warmed her heart. This man seemed like he would satisfy all of her requests. ¡°What¡¯s a golden fruit?¡± Qiao Mo asked curiously. Harry explained, ¡°It¡¯s a kind of food. They are small, plump, golden, and very sweet. After eating a few, you won¡¯t be hungry for an entire day.¡± ¡°That¡¯s something that only the nobles of the Beast God City can enjoy. With it, one can avoid hunger and fatigue from not being able to hunt any prey. It¡¯s a pity that only the royal family can plant it.¡± Qiao Mo thought curiously. He couldn¡¯t be describing corn, could he? She had a few fruit corns in her bag that were sweet and delicious. If this thing really was what they called the golden fruit, then only the royal family could grow them. Qiao Mo suddenly felt a little hesitant and wondered if she should take them out. Harry¡¯s gaze was firm. ¡°I will definitely let you taste the freshest golden fruit.¡± He stared at the sweet potato and added, ¡°But I think your sweet potato is even more delicious than the golden fruit. I just don¡¯t know if it¡¯s as amazing as the golden fruit.¡± Qiao Mo laughed dryly and shared half the sweet potato with Harry. Qiao Mo realized that Harry could really eat a lot. He actually finished the entire antelope in one meal. She was already extremely full after eating half of its leg. Harry had finished the rest for her. Recalling Harry¡¯s massive body after his transformation, this appetite seemed reasonable. In the afternoon, after Qiao Mo had her meal, she was called over by Elder Jessie¡¯s mate because she had woken up. Harry insisted on accompanying Qiao Mo. Upon entering Elder Jessie¡¯s house, Qiao Mo noticed that there were many brown, grainy ornamental items hung up. She knew these things. ¡°Hazelnuts?¡± Qiao Mo plucked one casually and peeled off the surface. She then crushed it with her teeth. It was hazelnut inside. Harry said, ¡°This kind of shell fruit is not delicious, so we mostly use it for decoration.¡± Qiao Mo blinked. ¡°Have you tried roasting it?¡± Of course raw hazelnuts were not delicious, but the cooked hazelnuts were very fragrant. Harry was puzzled. ¡°These can be roasted?¡± Their conversation stopped here. They entered the innermost room and Elder Jessie was lying flat on the bed, turning her head sideways to look at Qiao Mo and Harry. Jessie said weakly, ¡°Harry, you¡¯ve come? I¡¯m thankful to your female. I heard that she was the one who had saved my life?¡± Seeing that Elder Jessie had woken up and heard her praising Qiao Mo, Harry¡¯s eyes flashed with pride. ¡°Yes, Elder Jessie, it was indeed my mate who had saved you.¡± Jessie immediately tried to get up. Qiao Mo hurriedly took two steps forward and pressed her down. ¡°Don¡¯t get up. Your injuries aren¡¯t light. The wounds have just been stitched up and haven¡¯t fully healed yet. You need to rest quietly for this period of time.¡± Jessie had the image of a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties. She had dark skin, looked a little plump, but was very muscular. Her cheeks were also very thin and she looked like an alien. Aisha must have taken after her. However, Jessie¡¯s mates all looked to be strong and handsome men in their twenties. They looked at Jessie with genuine concern and heartache in their gazes. This scene made Qiao Mo feel extremely strange. One of Jessie¡¯s males said, ¡°Thank you for saving Elder Jessie¡¯s life. You are our benefactor. No matter what you need in the future, if my female consents to it, I¡¯ll even be willing to die for you!¡± The other two also clenched their fists and crossed their hands in front of their chests. All three of them bowed to Qiao Mo in unison. Qiao Mo quickly said, ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. It¡¯s nothing.¡± Elder Jessie smiled warmly. ¡°Not proud, not asking for credit. Harry, you¡¯ve chosen quite a remarkable female. I trust she will treat you kindly.¡± Harry¡¯s sexy lips curled upward.. Chapter 11 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Jessie said, ¡°Go on, Harry¡¯s little female, how do you want me to repay you? I¡¯ll satisfy whatever your request is.¡± Qiao Mo wanted to ask if she could have a choice over¡­ the issue of mating. However, Qiao Mo took a look at Harry, who was next to her, and felt that if she were to say this in public, she would be trampling on the dignity of a male beastman. Moreover, Jessie was an Elder while Harry was a prospective tribal head. An Elder shouldn¡¯t be able to do anything to the tribal head, right? After thinking about it, Qiao Mo really didn¡¯t have anything she wanted. She pointed at the hazelnut decorations that filled the house. ¡°Can you give me these¡­ uh¡­ fruits with shells?¡± That seemed to be what Harry called the hazelnuts. Jessie and the other wolf beastmen in the house were stunned. So was Harry. This thing was not worth much. It didn¡¯t have any value as food and even the dignified elephant race and the overbearing lion race would not send anyone to guard trees with such fruits that came with shells. To think that the repayment she wanted was actually this? Jessie gave Qiao Mo an approving look, feeling more and more that this female had an unusual bearing. She actually didn¡¯t reveal the slightest bit of greed in a situation like this. ¡°I¡¯ll get them to send them over to you later. Is there anything else? Tell me, as long as it¡¯s something within my means, I can satisfy you.¡± Jessie smiled at Qiao Mo. Qiao Mo waved her hand. ¡°These are enough.¡± If she brought them back and roasted them, she could eat them as snacks. Nuts had higher calories and eating some of these would make it easier for her small body to bear with the cold. After telling Jessie some things to take note of during her recuperation, Qiao Mo and Harry walked side by side as they headed back. Qiao Mo hesitated to speak. Harry had been wearing a faint smile on his lips, staring at the ground, seemingly thinking of something. Qiao Mo finally couldn¡¯t take it anymore. As the night was approaching, she was very worried that the situation that had happened last night would repeat itself. ¡°Harry, I want to discuss with you¡­¡± Harry turned his head to look at Qiao Mo. ¡°Has your hind leg¡¯s injury gotten better?¡± Hind leg? Qiao Mo realized that he was talking about her leg and got a little distracted. ¡°It has gotten much better. It doesn¡¯t hurt that much anymore.¡± After saying that, she immediately regretted it. It was because Harry¡¯s expression instantly brightened. Under the silver mask, his dark blue eyes were unusually bright. ¡°Then we can mate tonight!¡± Qiao Mo stumbled and almost fell. ¡°Harry, this is what I want to talk to you about. I don¡¯t want to mate.¡± Qiao Mo gritted her teeth and said it directly. Harry¡¯s expression froze. He stared at Qiao Mo stubbornly. ¡°Reason!¡± Qiao Mo said, ¡°Where I came from, there must be mutual consent between the two parties to engage in such a relationship. It¡¯s not to fulfill any obligations.¡± Harry pursed his perfect pink lips. ¡°But, I saved you! I supported you! You¡¯re my female, and I should mate with my female!¡± At this point, Harry suddenly seemed to understand something. ¡°You¡¯re unwilling to give birth to my cubs?¡± Qiao Mo subconsciously said, ¡°Of course. We don¡¯t have any feelings for each other yet. I can¡¯t accept¡­ mating with you.¡± Qiao Mo blushed as she finished speaking. A hint of hurt flashed in Harry¡¯s eyes. He turned and walked away on his own. Qiao Mo looked at his back view and scratched her head in a frenzy. Why was it so difficult to communicate with him? Besides, even if Qiao Mo acknowledged him as her mate, she¡¯d still need time to nurture their relationship, right? At this moment, the ugly little girl Lily walked past with a basket in her arms. She greeted Qiao Mo, saying that she was going to the forest to pick fruits, and asked Qiao Mo if she wanted to go. Qiao Mo had nowhere else to go, and she certainly didn¡¯t want to go back and face Harry now. So she agreed. When the two of them arrived in the forest, Lily said, ¡°I know of a place where there are a few scattered fruit trees. Although the fruits on them aren¡¯t very tasty, they aren¡¯t too bad either. Those truly good fruit trees are heavily guarded by the dignified elephant race and the overbearing lion race. A small tribe like ours can only rely on luck to pick up some wild fruits. When Qiao Mo heard this, she remembered the wound on Harry¡¯s face and the sweet fruits he brought back. ¡°Lily, can¡¯t mates cultivate feelings first when they¡¯re together? Must they mate to bear children as wild beasts do?¡± Qiao Mo asked the dilemma she had in her heart as if she was muttering to herself.. Chapter 12 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Lily gave Qiao Mo a strange look. ¡°Of course. Mating means you¡¯re willing to give bear children for a male. That¡¯s the highest praise and approval for a male.¡± Qiao Mo was stunned. She recalled Harry¡¯s hurt expression and his words. ¡°You¡¯re unwilling to give birth to my cubs?¡± Back then, Qiao Mo¡¯s reply was, ¡°Of course.¡± Qiao Mo asked Lily again, ¡°What if I tell a male that I¡¯m unwilling to bear his cubs?¡± Lily said, ¡°That¡¯ll depend on what kind of relationship this male has with you. If he¡¯s not your mate, that answer is tantamount to rejecting him. But if he¡¯s your mate, then you¡¯ve really hurt him beyond redemption.¡± Qiao Mo could not fully understand. Lily looked at her expression and stopped in her tracks. Holding the basket, she stared at Qiao Mo and said, ¡°We females have an innate advantage in reproduction, so we can have many males. But what about the males? If it¡¯s the lion race, it¡¯s fine. Even if you abandon them, they can choose a new mate. But we from the wolf race represent loyalty. The wolf race¡¯s males will only choose one mate in their lives and will never betray them. Even if they are abandoned, they will live the rest of their lives alone.¡± ¡°If you accept a wolf male, then don¡¯t ever tell him that you¡¯re unwilling to give birth to his cubs.¡± Qiao Mo realized how cruel her words were to Harry. Lily looked at Qiao Mo suspiciously. ¡°Why do I feel like you don¡¯t know anything? Have you been too well protected by your tribe since you were young?¡± Qiao Mo nodded. ¡°So can you tell me more? I feel like I might lack some basic common sense about the rules that you guys have.¡± Lily smiled smugly. ¡°No problem. What do you want to know?¡± ¡°Anything is fine. It¡¯s my first time out and I don¡¯t know anything.¡± Lily stared at the basket in her hand and suddenly grabbed Qiao Mo excitedly. ¡°Then come with me. I¡¯ll show you something fun.¡± Qiao Mo was pulled by her as they ran wildly in the forest. Lily was a wolf and had great stamina. Although females could not compare to males in terms of stamina, she was still worlds apart from Qiao Mo. Qiao Mo panted heavily as she followed Lily through the forest. They were surrounded by thick towering trees with accumulating snow on them. The ground was white too. However, there was still rich emerald green amidst this white sea of snow. The ecosystem here was very interesting and even contradictory. The fact that big trees were still green despite that it was winter proved this point. They came to a tall grass patch. Lily pulled Qiao Mo to squat down and pointed to the front. ¡°Look!¡± Qiao Mo looked in the direction Lily was pointing at and saw that the forest in front of them was filled with fruit trees. There were red and green fruits on the fruit trees that were fenced up. Many males wearing animal skin clothing were patrolling near the orchard. Lily said, ¡°These fruit trees were originally from the wilderness and belonged to all the tribes in the Myriad Beast Forest. However, after some wars, most of the fruit trees that could produce sweet fruits were monopolized by powerful tribes.¡± Qiao Mo asked, ¡°So you can only pick those fruits that aren¡¯t sweet?¡± Lily shook her head. ¡°On the beastmen continent, males are responsible for hunting while females are provided for. But we will also go to the forest to help pick fruits in our free time. Fortunately, these powerful tribes are not especially greedy. During the summer harvest, they will also allow other tribes to enter. However, the harvesting will have to be in accordance with their rules.¡± At this moment, Qiao Mo saw a few naked and trembling female beastmen being instructed by some male beastmen to go up to the orchard and sit down on the ground in a row. One of the soldiers who were guarding the orchard came over. Each of them picked a female beastman and brought her to a cave at the side. Some of the caves were not far from Qiao Mo and she could see inside from her angle. Hence, Qiao Mo saw that after those female beastmen were brought in by the male beastmen, they actually started mating! Qiao Mo blushed and covered her mouth in surprise. She turned her head and saw that Lily was not surprised at all. ¡°Isn¡¯t this a matriarchal society? I mean, in the beastmen continent, don¡¯t female beastmen have priority of choice?¡± Lily said, ¡°They¡¯re prisoners of war. The war has never really ended. The females from the small tribes that have been annexed will always choose their males again. Of course, they¡¯ve actually been randomly assigned to males who have no females.¡± Lily pointed at the cave and said, ¡°Once these males choose a female from them, they will take her away and mate with her. Then, the male will take on the responsibility of providing for this female. After this female has a male to provide for her, her status will rise and she will have the right to choose other males. This comes with the condition that the other males are willing to provide for her as well..¡± Chapter 13 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Qiao Mo understood now. Although females could choose many males as their partners, the prerequisite was that the males had to join her big family willingly. And the war between beastmen tribes could be said to be a reshuffle for these mates. If one side was defeated and the female was captured, then before a new male chose to provide for her, the female prisoner would be the side to be chosen. And once a male was willing to provide for her, this female would be able to establish her position in the new tribe. Qiao Mo asked, ¡°Does your tribe have prisoners of war too?¡± In fact, she found this rather frightening. At the same time, she was also glad that she had met Harry. If she had met these beastmen, would she have become one of those females who had to wait to be chosen and must reaffirm her status through mating? This was too barbaric! Lily shook her head. ¡°Small tribes like ours will try our best to avoid wars. In the past, when Tribal Head Rem was around, he didn¡¯t advocate fighting, so our tribe is almost full of beastmen from our own race, unlike those large tribes. They have annexed many tribes, and there are all kinds of races inside.¡± Qiao Mo felt that she had learned a lot today, but this made her even more determined to return to her original world. Although the wolf tribe gave her the feeling of loyalty, commitment, gratitude, and kindness, the outside world was a lot scarier. The sound of intercourse filled her ears. Qiao Mo blushed as she thought of Harry. She asked softly, ¡°Have you really never seen what Harry looks like behind his mask?¡± Although Harry looked very handsome with the mask on and the half of his face that was exposed was almost perfect, Qiao Mo was really curious about how he looked when he took off the mask. Unfortunately, he wore that mask even when he was sleeping. The only time he wasn¡¯t wearing it was when he transformed. However, every time he transformed back into his human form, he would cover his face with the mask at the first instance, not giving Qiao Mo any chance to see his true appearance. Lily shook her head. ¡°He had been wearing a mask since he came here. At that time, he was seriously injured, but he refused to take off his mask. I thought he was unconscious, but when my hand touched his mask, he immediately opened his eyes. It was really scary.¡± Qiao Mo was surprised. ¡°Harry was seriously injured? Was Shaman Evan the one who had cured him?¡± However, Evan wasn¡¯t even able to cure Elder Jessie¡¯s injury. Lily nodded. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you? Harry was being chased down. It was Tribal Head Rem who saved him and brought him back to our tribe. Tribal Head Rem was seriously injured and died. Harry was also seriously injured and there was nothing Shaman Evan could do. Ace was the one who suddenly appeared in our tribe and cured Harry.¡± Ace? This was the second time Qiao Mo heard this name. When Elder Jessie was injured today, they had also mentioned Ace¡¯s name. He seemed to be a highly skilled fellow from the fox tribe, but he was very greedy. It seemed like he would ask for a large amount of food that they could not afford. ¡°What did Ace ask for in exchange for saving Harry?¡± Qiao Mo asked curiously. Lily shook her head, looking puzzled too. ¡°Ace didn¡¯t ask for anything from us, so everyone speculated that Harry¡¯s identity is probably not simple. Of course, it¡¯s also possible that Ace and Harry may have secretly made some kind of deal.¡± At this moment, Qiao Mo suddenly felt something furry by her ankle. She lowered her head and saw a snow-white rabbit eating grass by her feet. ¡°Ah!¡± Qiao Mo exclaimed softly and immediately picked up the furry rabbit. She liked it very much. Unlike normal white rabbits, this rabbit had two tufts of red fur on its ears. Coupled with its red eyes, it made the rabbit look somewhat seductive.. Chapter 14 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Qiao Mo held the rabbit in her arms and sized it up. She realized that not only on its ears but there was also a patch of red fur in the middle of its forehead, like a flower petal pattern. ¡°It¡¯s so pretty.¡± Qiao Mo stroked the rabbit¡¯s soft fur. She had never seen such a beautiful rabbit before. Before she came to the beastmen continent, Qiao Mo had especially liked rabbits and had reared one herself. Unfortunately, they were separated after she left home for university. Lily said, ¡°What a beautiful little rabbit. It can¡¯t be a rabbit beastman from the rabbit race, could it?¡± Qiao Mo was confused. There was a rabbit race? She raised the rabbit high and examined it carefully. She realized that although the rabbit¡¯s eyes were bright, it did not look like an intelligent life form. Lily then shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t think it is. The rabbit race¡¯s whereabouts are mysterious and they won¡¯t come out easily. They all live in their own burrows which have many exits that make it convenient for them to escape. In the past, the lion race fought against the rabbit race once and suffered quite a bit. How could one of them possibly let us catch them so easily?¡± ¡°Although those from the rabbit race are all good-looking, I heard that they are all lustful by nature. You have to be careful if you meet them,¡± Lily said with a look of disdain. Qiao Mo held the rabbit in her arms and whispered, ¡°Shall we go back? It¡¯d be bad if we¡¯re discovered by someone from the lion race.¡± As the two of them spoke, they planned on running back. However, when Lily got up, she dropped the fruit basket she was holding. She let out a surprised cry and chased a little after it down the hill. But by the time she caught the fruit basket, she had already alarmed the patrolling guards below. Lily instantly transformed into her wolf form. As she passed by Qiao Mo with the fruit basket in her mouth, she said, ¡°Get on!¡± Qiao Mo climbed onto Lily¡¯s back. Lily ran as fast as she could. Something was obviously chasing them from behind. They ran all the way to a small stream. Lily did not slow down and wanted to cross the stream, but her feet were tripped by a pebble in the stream and she fell into the water with Qiao Mo. The surrounding grass moved, and then several lions with brown mane emerged from the grass and surrounded the two of them. The few lions transformed into human forms. They were all handsome and had an impressive aura. All of them were naked and Qiao Mo quickly closed her eyes. In a large cave belonging to the lion tribe. Qiao Mo and Lily had been thrown into the cave for quite a while, surrounded by guards from the lion tribe. Lily was in a great panic. She tried to explain herself on the way here but didn¡¯t get any reply. Qiao Mo was nervous too, but she pretended to be calm. She wondered if she and Lily would be given out to the males as captives too. Not long after, a man walked into the cave. His long, purple-black fluffy hair draped down behind his back. The man had a tanned and handsome face, his sharp eyes seemed as if black eyeliner had been used to draw around them, exuding an imposing aura. He was tall and sturdy, wearing a cape with black prints over his back. His long, muscular legs stood out from under the animal skin skirt. Like Harry, a large part of his big fellow was hanging down, it was a scene of two long and one short rods from below his waist. Qiao Mo tried her best to turn her face away and not look at him. These beastmen really didn¡¯t have any moral integrity, as if revealing that thing was a very impressive thing to do. But he was indeed very handsome. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Where did these two females come from?¡± Charlie received news from his subordinates that two female beastmen had been behaving sneakily near the fruit trees. ¡°Tribal Head Charlie,¡± One of the team leaders bowed respectfully. ¡°These two females were behaving sneakily around the orchard just now. They escaped when we found them. They¡¯re very suspicious.¡± The handsome male, Charlie, frowned. Lily said, ¡°Tribal Head Charlie, we¡¯re from the wolf tribe in the east. I¡¯m just taking my good friend out for a walk and accidentally entered your territory. Please let us go back!¡± A snort escaped Charlie¡¯s nostrils. ¡°All females and food that enters the lion tribe¡¯s territory belong to us.¡± That was the lion tribe¡¯s rule. Qiao Mo¡¯s heart sank. Lily was so anxious that she was about to cry. ¡°We¡¯re willing to give food in exchange. She¡¯s the future tribal head¡¯s female! You definitely don¡¯t wish to start a war because of us. I can go back and report this.¡± All the lions turned to look at Qiao Mo. Lions¡¯ gazes were authoritative and cold. This was the first time in her life that Qiao Mo was being scrutinized by so many authoritative eyes. She pretended to be calm and nodded, even though she didn¡¯t think it was a good thing for Lily to introduce her status like that. But at the very least, it would more or less instill some wariness in them. Charlie¡¯s gaze sized up Qiao Mo, and he frowned his beautiful brows. He thought to himself that the female of the wolf tribe¡¯s future tribal head was actually so ugly? Food was precious in winter, and it would be a good thing if they could exchange this female for food. Charlie agreed to let Lily go back to report this. Lily gave Qiao Mo a few words of advice before she turned into a wolf and quickly disappeared. Charlie looked at Qiao Mo, whose hair was wet and sticking to her face. He ordered someone to hand her a piece of animal skin. ¡°Thank you,¡± Qiao Mo took the animal skin and wiped the water from her face and hair. She was drenched after having fallen into the stream. But after she wiped her face, the black ash that Harry had smeared on her face was wiped away, revealing a fair and clean little face. When Qiao Mo handed the animal skin to the beastman soldier, the latter stared blankly at Qiao Mo with his large, bell-like eyes wide open. A trickle of saliva even flowed out from the corners of his mouth. Qiao Mo was so scared that she took a step back.. She thought to herself that this was bad! This guy looked like he was hungry! Chapter 15 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Qiao Mo turned around and found that the few lion race soldiers in the cave were all staring at her blankly. Even Lion King Charlie looked like he was extremely hungry. ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t taste good. My meat is sour,¡± Qiao Mo quickly explained. Human flesh is sour! Charlie was stunned for a moment before he retracted his gaze, a hint of excitement gleaming in his eyes. ¡°Eat you? No, I want to marry you! I want you to become my female!¡± ¡°¡­¡± This time, it was Qiao Mo¡¯s turn to be stunned. The surrounding soldiers looked a little disappointed, but then they started to get excited again. Tribal Head Charlie, who had not confirmed his female all this while, had finally found his female! Qiao Mo hurriedly said, ¡°I already have a mate!¡± At this moment, she could only use Harry as an excuse. But Charlie didn¡¯t care. He took a step forward and reached out to grab Qiao Mo¡¯s chin. ¡°Then from now on, your only mate can only be me! My female is only allowed to have me as her mate. You can¡¯t have any other males.¡± Then, he waved his hand. Soon, two females came in and pulled Qiao Mo out of the cave. They brought her to a cave that was decorated in a relatively luxurious manner. This cave had animal skin laid out everywhere, even on the walls. There were some animal skeletons too. The most eye-catching one should be the huge skeleton that looked like an elephant. ¡°These are all the spoils of war belonging to Tribal Head Charlie. He is the bravest and fiercest male in our lion tribe, a dominating presence in the Myriad Beast Forest. Many females dream of becoming Tribal Head Charlie¡¯s partner. You are really lucky.¡± The two females looked at Qiao Mo enviously. Without any explanation, they took off her animal skin and threw Qiao Mo into a natural pool at the back of the cave. The water in the pool was extremely cold. Fortunately, the height of the water only reached Qiao Mo¡¯s neck. After the two females threw Qiao Mo into the pool, they left with her clothes. Qiao Mo wanted to chase after them, but she was naked. After a while, the sound of someone talking seemed to come from outside. A moment later, Charlie entered the cave and came to the pool. He looked down at Qiao Mo from a tall perspective. Qiao Mo only had her head and shoulders exposed outside the pool. Her clean, fair face, exquisite collarbones, and delicate shoulders entered Charlie¡¯s eyes. He slowly removed his cape. The cape landed on the ground. Next was his animal skin skirt. What was exposed before Qiao Mo¡¯s eyes was a sturdy and strong male body. His skin was a sexy tanned color and every part of his body exuded a strong masculine scent. He had strong biceps, a beautifully toned chest, and strong legs. And between his legs¡­ Qiao Mo had closed her eyes almost at the moment he took off his clothes. She heard the sound of someone entering the water. Qiao Mo backed off to the side of the pool and turned her back to face him. ¡°Don¡¯t come over! I won¡¯t agree to be your mate. Don¡¯t come near me!¡± But the sound of someone moving in the water behind her didn¡¯t lessen. Swoosh¡­ Swoosh¡­ The person was already standing behind her. Qiao Mo opened her eyes and looked at the water in front of her. She could see a huge shadow enveloping her from behind. Then, a pair of rough hands slowly gripped Qiao Mo¡¯s shoulders. Qiao Mo shuddered. That pair of hands gently slid down from her shoulders, caressing her arms before reaching her palms. Qiao Mo¡¯s entire body trembled and she froze on the spot, not daring to move. Charlie linked his fingers with Qiao Mo¡¯s with one hand and grabbed her slender waist with the other. Then Qiao Mo felt the man bury his face into her hair. ¡°You¡¯re so beautiful. I¡¯ve never seen a female as beautiful as you. You are the only one who is worthy to be my female,¡± he said softly, opening his mouth to bite Qiao Mo¡¯s neck. Then, a hand grabbed Qiao Mo¡¯s round and full chest. ¡°Please¡­¡± Qiao Mo¡¯s entire body trembled as she sobbed. However, Charlie had already pushed Qiao Mo to the side of the pool, her front body pressing against the edges of the pool. Then, while holding Qiao Mo¡¯s neck in his mouth, he forcefully pried her legs open from behind with his powerful legs. To Qiao Mo¡¯s horror, she felt something strong and hot pressing against the back of her waist. Being held down domineeringly by Charlie, Qiao Mo could not move no matter how hard she struggled. Tears streamed down her face and her vision was blurred by her tears.. Chapter 16 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Neither Qiao Mo nor Charlie noticed that a snow-white rabbit with only a few tufts of fiery red fur between its ears and eyebrows was quietly watching them from a corner of the cave. The rabbit¡¯s scarlet eyes were now even redder and more flirtatious. ¡°No!¡± Just as Qiao Mo felt that Charlie was about to break through the defense line and invade her final territory, she suddenly yelled out at the top of her lungs. Charlie stopped moving. Then, he slowly turned Qiao Mo¡¯s body over, looking down at her with an air of superiority, like a king examining his subject. He reached out and pinched Qiao Mo¡¯s chin, making her look up and meet his eyes. Qiao Mo¡¯s face was full of tears as she glared at the man. Charlie bent down and suddenly stuck out his tongue, gently licking away the tears from Qiao Mo¡¯s eyes. He did so inch by inch, very delicately. ¡°Are you a lady from one of those big clans in the Beast God City? I heard that some noble females don¡¯t like domineering intercourses and one needs to pacify them and be patient with them. Was there any place I didn¡¯t do well in?¡± Charlie licked Qiao Mo¡¯s tears away, his handsome and dignified face wearing a cautious expression as he stared at Qiao Mo and asked seriously. Qiao Mo bit her lips and glared at him with a pale face. Charlie asked again, ¡°Or do you not like this position? I can satisfy any request that you have. Is it because you don¡¯t like doing it in the water? Are you a race that fears water?¡± His thoughts ran wild as he began to make all sorts of guesses. Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, Qiao Mo took a step back and said, ¡°I just don¡¯t like to¡­ mate with a male who I¡¯ve only met once!¡± Charlie looked puzzled. ¡°Why can¡¯t we mate when we¡¯ve only met once?¡± Qiao Mo said, ¡°Because we don¡¯t have feelings for each other yet, so how can we do such a thing? You¡¯re going against my will! You¡¯re violating me!¡± Charlie¡¯s hawk-like sharp eyes were filled with confusion, his low and charming voice filled with doubt, ¡°Why can¡¯t we mate without feelings? Having feelings and mating don¡¯t clash. We can definitely mate before nurturing feelings. I¡¯ll be your male from now on. I¡¯ll belong only to you for the rest of my life. Feelings will come by in a matter of time.¡± ¡°Moreover, I¡¯ve only heard of violating territory and royal rights. What has our mating got to do with violating? As for your will, after we mate and you¡¯ve truly become my female, I¡¯ll respect it as long as it doesn¡¯t have any clashes with my territory or my tribesmen!¡± His words became domineering again. Qiao Mo shook her head vigorously. ¡°That¡¯s different. Only when I like¡­ a male from the bottom of my heart¡­ would I then do that¡­ erm¡­ would I then mate with him! Anyway, we can¡¯t do it now.¡± Charlie frowned and became overbearing, warning in a low voice, ¡°But you are now an outsider who has stepped into my territory. You are my captive. Before you give birth to my cubs, you have no choice.¡± With that, he suddenly bent down and sealed Qiao Mo¡¯s mouth. He clumsily bit Qiao Mo¡¯s lips a few times, causing her to freeze on the spot. Charlie left Qiao Mo¡¯s lips after biting on them for a while. Looking at Qiao Mo¡¯s dazed look, he smiled smugly. ¡°I heard noble females like this. The vulture really didn¡¯t lie to me!¡± Qiao Mo returned to her senses. What was he talking about! Did he think that by randomly biting someone¡¯s lips was kissing them? Then, suddenly, Charlie picked up Qiao Mo. Qiao Mo let out a surprised cry and instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist. But Charlie lowered his head and took a whiff, suddenly asking, ¡°You don¡¯t seem to have mated with any other males. I don¡¯t smell the scent of other males.¡± Qiao Mo¡¯s hands were originally covering her chest. When she heard this, her face was so red that it looked like it was about to bleed. She subconsciously reached out her hands to cover her lower body then immediately pulled back one hand to cover her chest again. She really wished she could have a few more hands. ¡°You pervert! Hooligan! Don¡¯t look there. What are you smelling? Hurry up and let go of me¡­¡± Charlie¡¯s sharp eyes flashed with excitement. ¡°You really haven¡¯t mated with other males before? That¡¯s right! You haven¡¯t! You¡¯re mine! Hahahahaha!¡± He must be crazy! Charlie laughed wildly and stared at Qiao Mo happily. He reached out one hand to hold Qiao Mo¡¯s face, his handsome face full of seriousness. ¡°Mate with me and become my female!¡± As he spoke, the ears on the top of his head gently flapped. The thick and hot thing on his lower body even hit Qiao Mo¡¯s buttocks from behind, making her so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in. If not for her lack of strength, Qiao Mo really wanted to slap him.. Chapter 17 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios At this moment, there was a sudden gasp coming from outside, followed by someone rushing into the cave, ¡°Tribal Head, the orchard has caught fire!¡± Charlie jumped out of the water and rushed outside. Qiao Mo quickly followed him out of the pool. She grabbed Charlie¡¯s clothes and wrapped them around her body. Then, she looked around for a way out. At this moment, a huge white shadow darted into the cave. Before Qiao Mo could react, it had already grabbed her and thrown her onto its back. ¡°Hold on,¡± It was Harry¡¯s voice. The huge figure that had charged in was the giant white wolf from Harry¡¯s transformation. Qiao Mo¡¯s heart relaxed, and she quickly grabbed onto Harry¡¯s fur. He quickly ran out of the cave. On the way, when they came across the lion tribe¡¯s members blocking their way, Harry would grab them in his mouth then toss them out fiercely. He was exceptionally fierce. After taking care of several members from the lion tribe, Harry had already charged out of the lion tribe¡¯s territory with Qiao Mo. From behind them, Qiao Mo suddenly heard a heaven-shaking lion roar. The voice seemed to be filled with fury! It was Charlie? Qiao Mo was lost in her thoughts. If Charlie was so angry, would he come after her? Moreover, she had heard that the lion tribe was belligerent, overbearing, and had defeated many other tribes. Harry¡¯s tribe was only a small one. They didn¡¯t even have any captives. Would she bring trouble to Harry? Harry rushed into the tribe with Qiao Mo. Many wolf beastmen in the tribe looked at the two of them. Before they could greet them, Harry had already disappeared. Harry abruptly transformed into his human form and carried Qiao Mo into his house while being naked. Qiao Mo¡¯s feet had just landed on the ground and she hadn¡¯t been able to tell Harry about his worries when he had already ripped off the clothes that belonged to Charlie. Harry threw the clothes fiercely into the fire. The flames burned even stronger. Qiao Mo glanced at the blazing fire, then suddenly remembered that she was naked. She hurriedly put her hands in front of her. Turning around, she found Harry staring at her with a burning gaze and was walking towards her. ¡°Who told you to wash your face?¡± Under the cold silver mask, his dark blue eyes seemed to be burning with anger, and his perfect pink lips were pressed tightly together. Qiao Mo felt a little scared and took a step back when her leg hit the stone bed and she fell onto it in a sitting position. Looking as Harry slowly got closed, Qiao Mo moved back. ¡°Don¡¯t come over here. I accidentally fell into the water. What do you want¡­ Ah¡­¡± Halfway through her words, Harry grabbed her ankles and pulled her closer to him. Then he kissed her ankle gently. ¡°Does it still hurt?¡± Qiao Mo was stunned and shook her head subconsciously. Harry looked at her expressionlessly, then suddenly pounced on her. He didn¡¯t do anything, just sniffed her body, starting from her neck. When Harry sniffed Qiao Mo¡¯s neck, he let out a furious growl from his throat. He then continued to smell downward until he reached the part between Qiao Mo¡¯s legs. Qiao Mo clamped her legs together tightly, her heart was filled with sorrow. She felt extremely humiliated and aggrieved. Harry sniffed the spot between her legs and looked up at Qiao Mo. His white hair draped down his face, looking breathtakingly beautiful under the firelight. However, Qiao Mo was not in the mood to appreciate his beauty. It was because she could only feel humiliation. All the experiences she had been through today made her sad. ¡°He didn¡¯t mate with you?¡± Harry asked softly as he knelt by Qiao Mo¡¯s knee, his eyes shining with joy. Qiao Mo stared at him and suddenly felt a wave of inexplicable anger. She kicked out hard on Harry¡¯s shoulder. ¡°No! No! He didn¡¯t mate with me! Are you satisfied now?¡± But Harry suddenly grabbed her ankle. Qiao Mo regretted it. She regretted kicking him at a time like this! This position she was in now was even more embarrassing! Harry held Qiao Mo¡¯s ankle with one hand and got up close to lean over her body, looking at her from top to bottom. Then he gently licked away her tears and gently kissed her lips. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I was too enraged. Jealousy made me lose my mind,¡± he said softly as he sucked on Qiao Mo¡¯s lips. Qiao Mo was stunned. Harry¡¯s kiss was different from Charlie¡¯s. It was gentle, loving, and apologetic. On the ground, the fire crackled, bringing light to the dim room. Qiao Mo did not know why, but an impulse suddenly emerged from the depths of her heart after her anger. She opened her lips slightly and responded to Harry¡¯s kiss.. Chapter 18 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Harry¡¯s body froze, and then he responded with more enthusiasm. His kiss was inexperienced, clumsy, but meticulous and patient with an unbearable fervor. Harry let go of Qiao Mo¡¯s lips and looked at her flushed face and hazy eyes. He gently pecked her lips again and then licked her neck as if he wanted to clean off the other scent on her. Next was her breasts. Her abdomen. Lastly, Harry grabbed both of Qiao Mo¡¯s ankles and let her step on his shoulder. Qiao Mo lay there, red-faced and dazed, being obliging. She did not know what she was going to experience, but now, she was like someone who had drunk too much alcohol. An unexplainable throbbing gushed out from the depths of her heart, making her feel groggy. In her heart, there seemed to be a voice saying, ¡°Just let it be. Even if it¡¯s just once, just let yourself loose with Harry this one time¡­¡± Qiao Mo stepped her feet on Harry¡¯s shoulders. He bent over and rested between her legs, sticking out his tongue and her bottom part gently. His tongue was warm and there were fine hairs on it. They were not prickly but made Qiao Mo shiver. ¡°Mmm¡­¡± Qiao Mo let out a soft moan. Harry stuck out his tongue again and kept licking at Qiao Mo¡¯s private part as if he were trying to leave his scent on her. And with each lick from his tongue, Qiao Mo would shiver all over as she experienced something new and exciting she had never experienced before. She held onto the animal skin and straw on the bed tightly, her toes curling on Harry¡¯s shoulders. After some time, Harry lifted his head from between Qiao Mo¡¯s legs. He sniffed and said with satisfaction, ¡°Done.¡± Qiao Mo came back to her senses and stared blankly at Harry. ¡°What?¡± Harry went over and lay beside Qiao Mo. He reached out his arms and hugged Qiao Mo in his embrace, resting his chin on her forehead, and said, ¡°I left my scent on you so that the other males will know that you¡¯re my female!¡± Qiao Mo blushed. She thought Harry had been flirting with her. Deep down, she had convinced herself to indulge with this beastman once, but this guy was only leaving his scent on her. Recalling the earlier scene, Qiao Mo¡¯s face turned so red that it could be used to roast potatoes. ¡°You¡¯re not planning on mating with me?¡± Qiao Mo asked softly. Harry hugged her tightly. ¡°You said before that mating requires love and willingness from both parties and not for some kind of obligation. I will wait for the day you have feelings for me and are willing to give birth to my cubs for me.¡± Qiao Mo¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Before she left today, she had quarreled with Harry over this matter and she had indeed told Harry these things. Moreover, she had also said hurtful words, that she was unwilling to give birth to Harry¡¯s cubs. He remembered all of them and chose to respect her. Qiao Mo did not know what was wrong with her. Her eyes were moist. She rarely shed tears in the past, but these two days, she had come to this world for no reason. After experiencing all sorts of situations, she had shed tears multiple times in anger, shame, sorrow, or despair. But she did feel a hint of consolation when she was by Harry¡¯s side. Qiao Mo looked up at Harry, reaching out her hands and touching his mask. But when her hands reached the edge of Harry¡¯s mask, wanting to take it off, Harry suddenly reached out his hand and grabbed her hand to stop her. He looked at Qiao Mo, looking hesitant. In the end, he said something that puzzled Qiao Mo. ¡°Actually, I shouldn¡¯t hide anything from you, but I can¡¯t take off my mask now. Trust me, one day, I¡¯ll take it off and let you see how I look..¡± Chapter 19 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios When Qiao Mo woke up the next day, Harry was starting the fire again in the house. As the fire in the house had gone out after a night, he was worried that Qiao Mo would catch a cold while sleeping. Before Qiao Mo arrived, Harry would never light a fire in his room when he slept by himself. But things were different now. He was a male with a family, and his female was too precious. When Qiao Mo woke up and saw Harry¡¯s actions, she felt warm inside. This was the second day in the beastmen, but she¡¯d been through so much in just one day. She sat up and asked Harry, ¡°Is Charlie going to come after the wolf tribe? I mean¡­ because we seemed to have offended him yesterday.¡± When Harry saw Qiao Mo had woken up, his perfect lips curled into a smile. ¡°You¡¯ve woken up? Don¡¯t worry, although we aren¡¯t willing to go to war, we¡¯ve never been afraid of war either. Although the wolf tribe isn¡¯t willing to annex other tribes, we¡¯re not that easy to deal with either. It¡¯s winter now, so he won¡¯t dare to mess with us recklessly.¡± Seeing how calm and confident Harry was, Qiao Mo nodded. At this moment, Harry suddenly walked to the side and grabbed a large white rabbit whose limbs were tied up. It looked like he was preparing to use it as food. The rabbit screamed and struggled violently. Qiao Mo immediately recognized the rabbit. ¡°Wait, where did this rabbit come from?¡± ¡°It fell off my body after I transformed when I came back last night. I didn¡¯t have time to take care of it then, but I¡¯m surprised it didn¡¯t run away. It¡¯s perfect that I can grill it and nourish your body,¡± Harry said. Qiao Mo jumped off the bed, snatched the rabbit from Harry¡¯s hands, and hugged it in her arms. ¡°I picked this up yesterday. I want to keep it and have it as my pet. Can I?¡± Qiao Mo remembered that she had brought the rabbit into Charlie¡¯s cave yesterday. After she was taken away to take a bath, the rabbit disappeared before she entered the water. Had the rabbit crawled on top of Harry and was brought out together when he brought Qiao Mo out? Qiao Mo hugged the rabbit lovingly and stroked it gently. ¡°I feel that we are especially fated, so can you please let me raise it?¡± Harry nodded. His eyes were filled with longing and fondness as he stared at Qiao Mo. ¡°Looks like you¡¯re really a young lady from a big clan. No females in the Myriad Beast Forest would keep pets. In their eyes, there is only food, friends, and enemies.¡± Qiao Mo said, ¡°Don¡¯t keep calling me female. Let¡¯s get to know each other again. My name is Qiao Mo.¡± Harry was stunned. That was right, he had never asked for his female¡¯s name. ¡°Qiao Mo¡­¡± He muttered softly and smiled again. ¡°It¡¯s a nice name.¡± Qiao Mo then noticed a small mountain of hazelnuts piled up in the corner of the room. Harry explained, ¡°Those were sent by Elder Jessie yesterday as a thank you gift for saving her.¡± Qiao Mo¡¯s eyes lit up and she said to Harry, ¡°Do you have an iron pot?¡± Harry thought for a moment. ¡°Only the clans in the Beast God City know how to forge iron. It¡¯s hard to get iron pots¡­ But I think I saw that Shaman Evan used an iron pot when he cooked herbs in his room. I¡¯ll go and borrow it from him.¡± He did not ask what Qiao Mo wanted to do with it. After a while, Harry returned with a huge iron pot. Qiao Mo asked Harry to set the iron pot in the yard and set up a fire under it. She then removed the leafy husks from the hazelnuts before throwing them into the pot. ¡°Do you have a spatula? Something that can be used to stir them in the pot.¡± Harry found a wooden plank for Qiao Mo. ¡°We can only use this. Make sure the fire is kept small, and keep stirring with this thing.¡± Qiao Mo sat to the side and peeled the leafy husks while letting Harry stir the hazelnuts. Harry did as he was told. ¡°This type of shell fruit is not delicious. Why are you cooking them? And don¡¯t you need to add water?¡± Qiao Mo pursed her lips and smiled. ¡°There¡¯s no need to add water. Just stir and heat it like this. However, it will take a little longer and the heat cannot be too strong. Also, you have to pay attention to stirring them constantly. You¡¯ll know when they are done.¡± Harry was puzzled. After a while, a fragrance wafted out from the courtyard. Aisha was passing by with a few of her mates. When she smelled something, she couldn¡¯t help but walk into Harry¡¯s courtyard. ¡°Harry, what are you doing?¡± As she spoke, Aisha had already come to the pot. ¡°Why are you cooking these shell fruits? They¡¯re so fragrant. Could it be that shell fruits can be used to make spices?¡± The few mates beside Aisha all wore strange expressions on their faces. Although this place was similar to a matriarchal society, it was not entirely the case. Males still advocated strength and whether one could be regarded as a qualified male depended on the number of prey he hunted as well as if he could provide for his partner over the winter. Making spices, picking fruits, and sewing animal skins were all the work that should be done by females. Even though Harry was the strongest and bravest male in the wolf tribe, he was actually working together with his female to make spices. Although spices could be exchanged for meager rations in the Beast God City, it was still far in comparison to hunting. Furthermore, it would also make the tribesmen look down on Harry.. Chapter 20 - Delicious Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Qiao Mo had already taken out a batch of hazelnuts that were done frying to cool down earlier. Now, they had cooled down. She bit open one of them and the kernel inside was sweet and crisp, emitting a strong fragrance of dry fruit. It was even sweeter than the hazelnuts in her original world! However, when she ate them raw, it was indeed several times worse than the hazelnuts in her original world too. Qiao Mo¡¯s eyes lit up. She cracked open another and dug out the kernel inside, bringing it to Harry¡¯s mouth. Harry hesitated for a moment. He really didn¡¯t like the taste of shell fruits. They tasted raw and awful as if he was like eating a lump of clay. However, after seeing Qiao Mo¡¯s happy expression, he steeled himself and opened his mouth. Qiao Mo pushed the kernel into Harry¡¯s mouth with her index finger. ¡°Try it.¡± Harry chewed a few times with a painful expression. Soon, he was stunned. He looked at Qiao Mo in shock. ¡°Is it good?¡± Qiao Mo asked. Harry nodded quickly. Qiao Mo said, ¡°This thing is a type of dry fruit. It is very high in calories and is good at providing satiation. With this, it should be easier for you guys to make it through winter.¡± Harry wanted to reach out his hands to grab the hazelnuts in the pot. Qiao Mo stopped him and said, ¡°After they are fried, they need to be cooled down before they can be eaten. That way, the taste of the kernel inside would be at its best.¡± Otherwise, it would be soft on the inside and not brittle. Qiao Mo had tried it before. Harry went over to the table and picked up a cooled hazelnut. Unlike Qiao Mo, he didn¡¯t need to use his teeth. He rubbed his hands together and the shell opened. Harry took out the kernel and put it into his mouth. The rich fragrance and sweetness of the dry fruit immediately filled his tongue. If this thing could really provide a lot of energy as Qiao Mo said¡­ Harry¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°The trees near our tribe happen to all be trees with this kind of shell fruit. These kinds of trees are usually the least favored and no tribe would value them. This means that we¡¯ll have countless¡­¡± Qiao Mo reminded, ¡°Hazelnuts.¡± Harry nodded. ¡°We¡¯ll have countless hazelnuts to enjoy!¡± Aisha and her partners were all confused. Aisha couldn¡¯t help but go to the table and take a hazelnut. ¡°This is the most disgusting fruit I¡¯ve ever eaten. What are you guys talking about?¡± Although Qiao Mo had saved Elder Jessie, Aisha still believed that there was a higher probability that Elder Jessie survived because Shaman Evan¡¯s dance had taken effect. She still did not trust Qiao Mo. Furthermore, Qiao Mo had snatched Harry away. Harry was the male she liked the most and hoped to be able to mate with. Aisha used the tip of her long fingernails to cut open the hazelnut shell. She took out the kernel inside and tossed it into her mouth. She frowned and chewed a few times. She then opened her eyes wide in surprise. ¡°Why does it taste so good?¡± Aisha¡¯s mates were all watching eagerly from the side. However, the rules here and their innate nature were that females had to enjoy any delicious food first. Qiao Mo walked forward and took the plate away. She grabbed a handful of hazelnuts and distributed some to each of Aisha¡¯s mates. ¡°Try some.¡± The few of them smiled gratefully at Qiao Mo. Male beastmen were all very good-looking, every one of them was very handsome. It caused Qiao Mo to be starting to feel a little numb toward good looks. ¡°This is too delicious. How did such a disgusting shell fruit become so delicious?¡± ¡°This is simply the most delicious fruit I¡¯ve ever eaten! And to think that there are even fats in it! I taste the fats from it!¡± Many beastmen were attracted over. Qiao Mo distributed some to everyone. A female beastman said excitedly, ¡°Please teach us how to make this food!¡± That respectable old man also came over. ¡°If we have enough shell fruits, then we can reduce the number of times we males go out to hunt in winter!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! That will definitely reduce the casualties we have when we go out to hunt during the winter!¡± Harry was extremely happy to see that Qiao Mo had invented a new way to eat the shell fruit and had also obtained the recognition of the tribesmen. In the afternoon, apart from changing Jessie¡¯s dressing, Qiao Mo spent the rest of her time teaching the females in the tribe how to fry the hazelnuts. But there was a limited number of iron pots in the tribe, and Qiao Mo could only try to fry them in stone pots. She didn¡¯t expect that the effect turned out to be even better. Perhaps it was because iron pots conduct heat quickly while stone pots fulfilled the principle of frying over low heat better. However, it clearly took more time when using stone pots. Fortunately, the thing that females lacked the most was time, especially during the winter. It was also difficult for them to pick fruits even if they were to go out. They¡¯d spend most of their time making spices, which was to sew the flowers and plants they had dried in the autumn in animal skins. These things could be exchanged for some food in the Beast God City, but it was a far cry compared to preparing hazelnuts.. Chapter 21 - Braised Venison Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After some understanding, it turned out that these spices had the effect such as repelling insects including mosquitoes, as well as attracting males and acting as aphrodisiacs. They are differentiated based on different types of flowers and plants. Qiao Mo¡¯s hazelnut frying technique was exchanged for a large number of spice bags. Originally, the females had different opinions about Qiao Mo saving Elder Jessie. At least more than half of the females believed that Jessie had survived because of the dance performed by Shaman Evan. But now, the females were beginning to approve of Qiao Mo and take the initiative to be friendly with her. ¡°Women¡¯s friendships are just that simple. In the past, it was clothes and bags, but now, they¡¯re hazelnuts and fruits,¡± Qiao Mo said emotionally. When Elder Jessie heard about this, she also forced herself to come out to check. ¡°It only needs to be stir-fried once and it can be stored for a long time. It can be peeled and eaten at any time! Qiao Mo, do you know what a great help this is to us?¡± In the afternoon, when Qiao Mo returned to her room, Harry pounced on her onto the large bed. Under his silver mask, his blue eyes shone with joy, and his two white furry ears swayed back and forth. Without any explanation, he kissed Qiao Mo a few times, then suddenly jumped up from the bed and went to the corner of the room to take out a pile of things wrapped in animal skin. Qiao Mo wiped her lips helplessly, thinking to herself that she would just treat it as if she was kissed by a big dog she kept. It was nothing! Harry carried the pile of things and came to Qiao Mo excitedly. ¡°Look, are these what you wanted?¡± Qiao Mo sat up and curiously opened the animal skin. Her eyes immediately widened. There were some chili peppers and a whole bunch of different leaves inside. The peppercorns came with their skins on. As Qiao Mo liked to grow plants and she had also grown some things back in her hometown in the countryside, he had some understanding about them. There were actually bay leaves inside! This was good for cooking and seasoning. ¡°Where did you get these things?¡± Qiao Mo asked in surprise. Harry smiled and said, ¡°They all grow in the woods. I¡¯ve seen them before, so I¡¯m familiar with their scents. These were things that we were told couldn¡¯t be eaten since young. I tried my best to pluck them all to let you take a look to see which ones are useful to you.¡± Qiao Mo picked out some from the pile. ¡°If there are more of these, you can help me pick more.¡± Harry took out a white object from the pile that Qiao Mo picked out. He looked like a country bumpkin who had never seen much of the world before. ¡°This is edible too? The smell is really sharp.¡± Qiao Mo smiled. ¡°Of course, but it needs to be processed. This thing is very delicious when added to food.¡± Harry nodded doubtfully. These were all things that they had been taught since young that it was forbidden to eat them when in the wild. For example, the thing that Qiao Mo called chili just now. Some of his companions refused to believe it and had tried eating some before. They would end up feeling uncomfortable for a long time and would need to chug down a large amount of water to feel relief. As for pepper, he couldn¡¯t stand the smell. However, when Qiao Mo added the ingredients into the roasted venison leg yesterday, it was inexplicably delicious. ¡°What do you want to eat tonight?¡± Harry suddenly asked. He was curious to see if Qiao Mo could bring out more things that would surprise him. Qiao Mo stroked her chin. ¡°Is roasting the only way you guys cook your meat? I mean, if you want to cook them, it can only be done through roasting?¡± Harry was stunned. ¡°Are there other ways of doing it?¡± An idea popped up in Qiao Mo¡¯s mind. She snapped her fingers. ¡°Are there more meat? Beef, mutton, pork, anything works!¡± Harry pulled Qiao Mo out of the house. ¡°I hunted two antelopes yesterday and I buried the other one in the snow. It won¡¯t rot easily that way. Is it okay if we eat venison again today?¡± Qiao Mo nodded. ¡°Of course. I¡¯ll make you braised mutton today.. It¡¯s my specialty!¡± Chapter 22 - Delicacy That Shocked the Tribe (1) Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Under Qiao Mo¡¯s instructions, Harry shaved off all the fur. His method of shaving was simple. He would simply roast it with fire until it was done before throwing it into the snow to extinguish the flames. He¡¯d then use a sharp stone tool to shave off the lowest layer of fur. He had wanted to skin it straightaway, but Qiao Mo didn¡¯t agree to that. Was he joking? The skin tasted the best in braised dishes! After everything was done, Harry dismembered the entire antelope under Qiao Mo¡¯s command. Other than the simple scalpel in the first aid kit, Qiao Mo had also brought a small knife. However, it was only a fruit knife intended to be used for cutting potatoes and other ingredients when they went up the mountain to barbecue. It was barely enough to cut up the meat, but it was definitely impossible to chop through the bones. Fortunately, when Harry heard that Qiao Mo needed to chop up the bones into pieces, he used a stone tool to help her. The effect was not the best, but it¡¯d work. Then, Qiao Mo threw the meat into the huge stone pot to cook and poured in most of the little bit of cooking wine that she had left. When the water boiled, Qiao Mo had Harry scoop up the meat. Qiao Mo explained, ¡°This pot of water is used to blanch the meat. It¡¯s equivalent to washing away the blood foam and fishy smell of the mutton. Later, we¡¯ll change to a new pot of water and cook it again.¡± Harry didn¡¯t understand. They had tried boiling meat with water before, but it was very unpalatable. Therefore, no beastmen were willing to try this method again. Could it be that changing a pot of water would make things different? Qiao Mo did not ask Harry to boil the water again for the time being. Instead, she threw in a few pieces of fatty meat into the pot and fry out the oil. She then added a handful of chili inside. After the chili entered the pot, the stone pot began to sizzle and crackle. Harry stood there like a curious baby, staring at Qiao Mo¡¯s movements. Qiao Mo began to stir-fry the chili, taking out some white sugar from her bag and pouring it into the pot. When the sugar completely melted and turned into a brown sticky liquid, Qiao Mo quickly signaled to Harry. ¡°Pour the meat in!¡± Harry did as he was told. Qiao Mo then used the wooden plank to stir the meat in the pot vigorously. She muttered to himself, ¡°This is called caramelizing. It¡¯s used to add color to the meat, and it also improves its freshness.¡± Harry nodded, not sure if he really understood. She tried her best to coat all the meat with the sugar syrup before saying, ¡°Add some water into the pot.¡± Harry obediently poured water into the pot. After the water boiled, Qiao Mo threw in a few pieces of bay leaves and cinnamon. These were all things that Harry found in the forest that was said to be ¡®inedible¡¯. Finally, Qiao Mo started to add salt into the pot. ¡°Do you have a lid? It¡¯s best to cover it. It¡¯ll probably take an hour or two to cook such a big pot of it,¡± Qiao Mo said with a smile. After understanding the use of the lid, Harry found a wooden board. ¡°This is used by the females in the tribe to dry spices under. It¡¯s very clean.¡± About an hour and a half later, the fragrance from the pot permeated the entire tribe. The wolf race had a very sharp sense of smell. Moreover, this was an unfamiliar yet nice and strong smell. Hence, gradually, a large number of tribe members gathered in the courtyard of Harry¡¯s house. The females greeted Qiao Mo as they walked into the courtyard. Their males only stood at the entrance of the courtyard and looked curiously. It was because even though the wolf race was very territorial, they were very tolerant towards females. Without permission, males usually would not easily step into another beastman¡¯s courtyard. Lily had also come and was sniffing around the pot with her upturned nose. ¡°I¡¯ve never smelled anything so fragrant, and there seems to be a smell that makes me uncomfortable inside, yet attracts me so! Qiao Mo, what are you cooking?¡± Seeing that it was about time, Qiao Mo pursed her lips and smiled before removing the lid. The billowing hot air rose in spirals in the courtyard on the winter day, and the rich aroma of meat engulfed the wolf tribe¡¯s territory. All the beastmen swallowed their saliva unconsciously. The eyes of the females who were close to them almost dropped into the huge pot. The water in the pot was actually red! There was a layer of oil floating on top of it and it was seething! Chapter 23 - Delicacy That Shocked the Tribe (2) Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios On the other side, there was also a fragrance drifting out. It turned out that Qiao Mo was roasting venison and the lamb bones that Harry had chopped down. Because there was a layer of condiments applied, they were sizzling with oil now. The beastmen with a sharp sense of smell sniffed in the direction of the venison chop. ¡°My God, I¡¯ve never roasted meat that¡¯s so fragrant. How did your female do it, Harry?¡± Harry¡¯s lips curled into a smug smile. He¡¯d seen the roast venison the day before, so he could answer for them. ¡°Qiao Mo sprinkled salt and some other powder on the meat. These things can make the meat taste richer and more intense.¡± Harry said. When Qiao Mo saw that the courtyard was filled with people, she looked at the venison in the huge pot and couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°If you guys want to eat, go back and get containers. I can share some with everyone to let you have a taste.¡± As she spoke, Qiao Mo had already scooped some up for Lily. Lily¡¯s eyes gleamed. Yesterday, she had caused Qiao Mo to be snatched away by the lion race and she had been feeling reproachful over this. This afternoon, when she was stir-frying the hazelnuts, she had carefully come to apologize to Qiao Mo. She didn¡¯t expect that not only was Qiao Mo willing to forgive her, she was even willing to let her be the first to try it. ¡°Thank you, Qiao Mo!¡± Lily blinked her eyes and smiled sweetly. She picked up a piece of meat with two fingers and put it into her mouth. Aisha watched from the side for a while. At this moment, she realized that her mates were all staring at the pot of meat with a gluttonous look. She was furious. ¡°Food cooked with water tastes the worst!¡± Hearing this, her mates looked away from the pot of fragrant meat. Qiao Mo felt both angry and amused. She took out a plate from her backpack and gave Aisha two pieces of meat. ¡°Try it.¡± Aisha was stunned. At this moment, Lily cried out in alarm, ¡°Heavens, this is the most delicious food I¡¯ve ever eaten in my life! Qiao Mo, what magic did you cast on it?¡± Yes, it was like a magical spell! Lily continued, ¡°The meat is very fragrant, very soft, and a little sweet. Most importantly, it has a taste that deals an impact. It makes me feel a little uncomfortable, but at the same time, I find it very delicious. It makes me want to continue eating and eating!¡± Aisha couldn¡¯t help but take the plate. She picked up a piece of dark red meat and threw it into her mouth. Then she was stunned for a while. ¡°This is really delicious.¡± The other beastmen couldn¡¯t take it anymore and went home to find containers obediently. Qiao Mo had already brought out a basin of meat for Harry. He took the mutton that Qiao Mo handed to him with bright eyes and put a piece into his mouth. As he chewed and swallowed, Harry¡¯s eyes became brighter and brighter. Delicious! It was extremely delicious! ¡°Qiao Mo, how did you do it? I suspect that Lily is right and that you really did cast a spell inside!¡± Harry said as he ate. He felt like he had picked up a treasure. Qiao Mo had brought him too many surprises. First of all, she could heal wounds that even Shaman Evan could not. Then, she could make the roast meat taste flavorful. Now, she also made the food cooked in water taste so delicious! Qiao Mo wasn¡¯t in the mood to care about what others thought, because the entire wolf tribe was seething over this pot of braised mutton. There was already a long queue outside her house, and everyone was anxiously waiting with containers in their hands. She was like a landlord who opened up a granary during a disaster period, distributing porridge to the victims¡­ Although there was quite a lot of meat in this pot, it was not enough for the entire tribe. Qiao Mo could only give enough for everyone to just have a taste. Even Uncle Luke, the old man who agreed for Harry to support Qiao Mo, came back with a container to ask for some meat. Countless females surrounded Qiao Mo. They asked her enthusiastically about her methods, hoping to learn something from her. This made Qiao Mo realize a problem. Even if she could teach them the method, they wouldn¡¯t be able to make this dish without the necessary seasonings. It seemed that she could get everyone in the tribe to go and get more condiments. This was especially so for pepper, which was not something that could be used immediately. She still needed to process them. Then there was sugar and salt. These two things were really too important. If there was a sea nearby, they could dry some sea salt under the sun, but it would be more convenient if they could find rock salt.. Chapter 24 - Smart Cookie Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios At night, Qiao Mo planted the potatoes and corn that she brought with her in a basin. The potatoes could be grown after they were cut into pieces. As for corn, Qiao Mo did not know if the ones she brought with her could be used as seeds. Moreover, it was winter now. Although the climate here was strange in which plants could still bear fruits in winter, Qiao Mo was still worried. Heck it. She¡¯d just give it a try first. When everyone in the tribe left and Qiao Mo cleaned up the mess, she found the rabbit eating some meat that the other beastmen had accidentally dropped on the floor. She quickly picked up the rabbit in her arms and tapped its forehead with her fingertips. ¡°You smart cookie, this isn¡¯t something you can eat. The spiciness will burn your stomach. I¡¯ll feed you some vegetables later, alright?¡± The rabbit buried its head in Qiao Mo¡¯s soft chest unhappily. Qiao Mo giggled. ¡°Why don¡¯t we give you a name? I¡¯ll call you Smart Cookie from now on. How about it?¡± This fellow was in Charlie¡¯s territory, yet he knew how to climb onto Harry¡¯s body and escape with them. Wasn¡¯t it just a smart cookie? The rabbit obediently stuffed its face into Qiao Mo¡¯s chest. This night was destined to be a beautiful one. Most of the beastmen in the tribe fell into a deep sleep after experiencing the joy brought by the delicacy. But for some people, it might not be that wonderful. Take Qiao Mo for example. She had been too tired throughout the entire day, so she fell asleep early. Before she went to bed, she heard from Harry that he was going out to hunt, hoping to be able to eat more of Qiao Mo¡¯s delicacies tomorrow. Qiao Mo hoped he¡¯d bring back two pheasants. Then, after Harry left the house, she fell asleep. However, in her sleep, Qiao Mo felt the wind whistling by her ears and cold currents caused her to wake up, shivering. When she opened her eyes, she dazedly found herself lying on Harry¡¯s back. It was because there was soft snow-white fur under her. ¡°Harry? Why did you carry me out here? It¡¯s so cold¡­¡± Qiao Mo dazedly grabbed Harry¡¯s fur and barely managed to sit up on his back. At this moment, the two of them were speeding through the forest. The trees were swaying in the wind, and as they moved, his footsteps caused creaking sounds on the snowy ground. Harry didn¡¯t respond to her as he usually did. Confused, Qiao Mo looked in the direction of Harry¡¯s head. Then she froze. No! That wasn¡¯t Harry! This fellow¡¯s entire body was snow-white, but its fur was softer. Moreover, its head had two large pointed ears, and there were two tufts of fiery red fur on the back of its ears. Moreover, the shape of its ears was different from Harry¡¯s. ¡°You are¡­¡± Qiao Mo struggled to get up. ¡°Smart Cookie?¡± She could tell that this was a rabbit! A huge rabbit! The rabbit happened to turn around and look at Qiao Mo. Its red eyes and the red petal pattern on its forehead showed that it was the pet rabbit that Qiao Mo had just named Smart Cookie! What was going on? Why was its true form so big? No, wasn¡¯t the rabbit form its true form already? Why could it still become so big? Was it also a beastman? Qiao Mo was uncertain. ¡°Where are you taking me?¡± Smart Cookie did not respond and continued running. Qiao Mo wanted to jump down, but they were moving too fast. If she jumped down, she would be paralyzed even if she didn¡¯t die. As Qiao Mo was lost in her thoughts, Smart Cookie ran into a cave. As he ran, he transformed into a naked, beautiful man with white hair. After transforming into his human form, he reached out to catch Qiao Mo, who was falling off from a height, then continued to run into the cave. Qiao Mo was stunned by this transformation. He was indeed a beastman! Smart Cookie carried Qiao Mo with both arms and ran all the way. When Qiao Mo saw a burrow in front of them, Smart Cookie hugged her and jumped into it.. Chapter 25 - The Female I Snatched Back! Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios There was a slippery slope at the bottom of the cave. He slid down the slippery slope on his naked butt. Qiao Mo was fine in his arms, but she subconsciously thought, won¡¯t the skin on this guy¡¯s butt be worn out?! After sliding for a long time, Qiao Mo felt that they had at least slid a few hundred meters along this ¡°slide¡±, or even deeper! Finally, Smart Cookie made use of the sliding force and bounced up, landing nimbly on the ground. Qiao Mo was stunned by the series of events and the sense of weightlessness that came with the rapid descent. She did not say anything for a long time. She did not know what Smart Cookie¡¯s motive was, so it was a wise choice to shut up now. There was a very spacious place deep underground with countless caves all around. The moment Smart Cookie arrived with Qiao Mo in his arms, many males and females with animal skins around their waists crowded around them. Qiao Mo was so shocked that started to break out in a sweat. The scent of the female¡¯s sweat evaporated in the air. Even males from afar could smell the fragrant scent coming from the female¡¯s body. They had never smelled such a clean scent of a female that did not carry the strange scent that female beastmen had on them. All of them started to look intoxicated. The scent of the female made them surround Smart Cookie even more closer. The males¡¯ eyes were burning. One of the female beastmen glared at them and said in an imposing manner, ¡°Get lost! This is a female that Barron snatched back. If you want to mate, go and snatch one for yourself!¡± Qiao Mo was rendered speechless. However, Qiao Mo¡¯s scent still attracted them. A group of handsome males surrounded Qiao Mo and started touching her. Qiao Mo quickly slapped away the bunch of lecherous hands. Someone even reached out to Qiao Mo¡¯s chest. ¡°Her breasts are so big. What race is she?¡± Qiao Mo slapped the evil-doing hand away. That male took the opportunity to grab Qiao Mo¡¯s hand. ¡°What a soft hand!¡± The other handsome females of the rabbit tribe started teasing. ¡°Her sweat doesn¡¯t have the smell of other males, so anyone can have her!¡± ¡°Why doesn¡¯t she have your scent on her, Barron? Looks like the two of you haven¡¯t mated.¡± ¡°Looks like I still have a chance!¡± The rabbit race was famous for being beautiful among the beastmen. Hence, when they chose their partners, they did not care about looks and cared more about scents. In fact, most beastmen chose their partners based on their scents. Most beastmen females carried a strange scent on them while someone like Qiao Mo, who didn¡¯t have any scents on her, became a popular choice. Qiao Mo remembered that Lily had warned her before that rabbits were extremely lecherous. She had experienced it for herself. Barron raised his good-looking phoenix eyes and looked at Qiao Mo with his red eyes, showing his dominion to the other beastmen. ¡°She will have my scent on her very soon.¡± ¡°Barron, where did you snatch the female back from? Is she trustworthy? We¡¯ve been hiding underground for so long. If she leaks our location and the Beast God City were to find out¡­¡± The female who had spoken up for Smart Cookie at the start said worriedly. The corner of Barron¡¯s lips curled up into a devilish smile. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve been observing her for two days now. She doesn¡¯t have a confirmed partner and doesn¡¯t seem to have any family either. From now on, she¡¯s my female.¡± Qiao Mo wanted to break free from his embrace, her face cold. ¡°When did I agree to be your female? Did you forget that I have a mate?¡± Barron lowered his head domineeringly and stared at Qiao Mo. ¡°If you¡¯re unwilling to mate with him, how can he be your mate?¡± Qiao Mo froze. It was because she remembered that this damned rabbit had seen everything that had happened between her and Harry last night! He was actually openly looking at her erot*c scenes! Chapter 26 - Treatment Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios At the thought of this, Qiao Mo slapped Barron¡¯s head. This d*mn child was actually looking at her erot*c scenes! Barron didn¡¯t seem to expect Qiao Mo to hit him. At the moment he reached out to touch the spot on his head where he was hit, Qiao Mo slipped out of his arms. Her feet finally returned to the ground, but she was soon surrounded by a group of males. ¡°Female, why are you wearing so little? Aren¡¯t you cold?¡± ¡°Look at how small her feet are. How could she have such beautiful feet?¡± ¡°Although she¡¯s a little ugly, she¡¯s much prettier and smells much better than the females I¡¯ve seen before!¡± After what happened with Charlie, Harry had smeared black ash on Qiao Mo¡¯s face and body. After Qiao Mo found out that she was considered pretty in the beastmen world, and after knowing that these beastmen¡¯s nature was ¡®simple¡¯ and liked to express their love through mating, she silently agreed with Harry¡¯s actions. Qiao Mo tried her best to ignore the fact that the rabbit race who had surrounded her could jump as high as two or three stories. She could only try her best to swat away those hands that were trying to touch her. Alright, beastmen were simple by nature, so the way they expressed themselves was more direct and pure. After being stunned for a moment, Barron asked angrily, ¡°How dare you hit me?¡± Qiao Mo was not afraid of him. Perhaps it was because she had kept Barron for two days and regarded him as her pet. ¡°I am the mate of the wolf tribe¡¯s tribal head. Are you really willing to offend the entire wolf tribe because of me?¡± The moment she said this, everyone fell silent. All the rabbit beastmen looked at each other. The female beastman who had spoken earlier looked worried. Qiao Mo overheard their conversation and guessed that this statement might make them feel wary. ¡°Barron, as long as you let me go, I can keep anything about you a secret from Harry. But you have to send me back immediately.¡± The female beastman hurriedly asked, ¡°Barron, is what she said true? Why don¡¯t you send her back? It¡¯s not convenient for us to offend the tribes in the Myriad Beast Forest now.¡± Qiao Mo noticed her words. She said that it was not convenient to offend them, not that they couldn¡¯t afford to do so. A shadow of a smile appeared in Barron¡¯s bright red eyes, making the petal color between his brows look even darker. ¡°Eva, don¡¯t listen to anything this female says. She¡¯s very smart and good at spurring on and intimidating others. She¡¯s not the mate of the wolf tribe¡¯s tribal head at all. In fact, that stupid wolf is just a male that she can order around.¡± Qiao Mo was astounded. Why did this guy say that of her? Barron added, ¡°And she¡¯s very good at making use of tears. Even after being captured by Lion King Charlie, he wasn¡¯t able to mate successfully with her. That stupid lion is probably still raging.¡± The surrounding beastmen gasped and looked at Qiao Mo with fear, vigilance, and admiration. Qiao Mo could only respond with a dry laugh. She stroked her chin, wondering to herself if she was that amazing. Barron said, ¡°But most importantly, she seems to be an outstanding shaman. I saw her treating one of the wolf tribe¡¯s Elders. That female seemed to have been badly injured previously.¡± A wave of exclamations erupted around them. ¡°Shaman! Barron, did you really find a shaman and bring her back?¡± ¡°There¡¯s hope for Her Highness Irene¡¯s illness!¡± ¡°My God, Your Highness Barron, you¡¯re really capable!¡± Qiao Mo noticed that the beastmen suddenly became respectful towards Barron. Treatment? Did Barron bring her here to treat someone? Chapter 27 - The Power of Enticement Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios At this moment, Barron suddenly grabbed Qiao Mo¡¯s hand and walked into the cave. Qiao Mo asked, ¡°Smart Cookie, who is Her Highness Irene? And why do they call you His Highness Barron? What illness does Irene have?¡± Barron looked straight ahead and gave Qiao Mo a sideward glance with his bright red eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t call me Smart Cookie. I didn¡¯t agree for you to name me. You are my captive now. I will mate with you today before I can tell you everything.¡± His thoughts were simple. His secret could only be shared after Qiao Mo became his mate. After two days of observation, he saw Qiao Mo¡¯s true appearance and her capabilities. Barron was very satisfied with this mate. Mate, mate, mate¡­ When Qiao Mo heard this word now, her head started to hurt. She said helplessly, ¡°Perhaps we have other ways to go about this. We can become friends. You can tell me anything and I will try my best to help you.¡± Barron raised an eyebrow and pressed Qiao Mo against the stone wall, staring down into her eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t think that I¡¯m that stupid wolf beastman, and don¡¯t think of me as that stupid lion. No matter what you say, I¡¯ll mate with you and make you my mate.¡± He lowered his head and wanted to kiss Qiao Mo. Damn kid! He didn¡¯t learn anything good from Charlie and Harry! Qiao Mo grabbed his ear and pulled his head back hard, trying to prevent him from kissing her. However, to Qiao Mo¡¯s surprise, Barron was caught off guard when she pulled his ears. His originally fierce and cold expression suddenly relaxed and he let out a moan¡­ Then he collapsed weakly into Qiao Mo¡¯s arms as if he had no strength left. Qiao Mo stared at the rabbit head resting on her shoulder. Barron¡¯s handsome and alluring face was clearly shrouded in a layer of red. His eyelids drooped powerlessly, and he mumbled softly, ¡°You¡­ stop it¡­ you dumb female¡­ mmmm¡­¡± What the hell! The weakness of this rabbit beastman was that to be grabbed by his ears? Qiao Mo did not dare to let go. She pulled his ear and tried to persuade him. ¡°Even if I mate with you, what would that do? You¡¯ve disobeyed my will, so why would I help you save someone? Moreover, I¡¯m not a shaman. I¡¯m a doctor. My tools for saving people are still in the wolf tribe. How can I save people with my bare hands if you bring me here?¡± Barron sat on the ground, panting heavily, his body was weak. His ears were the most sensitive part of his body. In the past, he had always been careful not to let anyone touch them. Perhaps it was because he had been carried by Qiao Mo as a pet for the past two days, and it was unavoidable that she would often touch his ears. Thus, Barron subconsciously forgot to keep his guard up against her, allowing Qiao Mo to discover his weakness. Barron looked at Qiao Mo with his phoenix eyes. The petal on his forehead seemed to have become even redder as if blood was going to drip out of it. He said weakly, ¡°What you said seems to make sense.¡± Qiao Mo tugged at his ears in disbelief. ¡°You thought through things so quickly?¡± Barron let out another moan, his voice alluring and his expression enticing. ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t be my mate, but you must agree to help me save her. Also, can you squat down and let me take a good look at you?¡± He had always been a good-looking man, with an extreme appearance that could entice anyone. Now that his cheeks were flushed and he was sitting there weakly and moaning away, it was as if he was enticing someone to commit a crime. Qiao Mo muttered in her heart that if he were to fall into the hands of a pervert, the person would be equivalent to having gotten three years¡¯ worth of great profit and there was nothing to lose even if they were eventually given a death sentence¡­ Pui! Pui! Pui! What was she thinking about! She tightened her grip on Barron¡¯s ears and squatted down, trying to put as much distance between them as possible because she feared he might have some trick up his sleeve. Barron¡¯s charming and handsome face was red as he looked at Qiao Mo weakly. However, his originally red eyes seemed to be even redder now, so red it was tempting. Qiao Mo felt as if she had fallen into a pair of gentle eyes, sinking deeper and deeper¡­ deeper and deeper¡­ Suddenly, Qiao Mo looked away and shook her head vigorously. She felt that there must be something wrong with Barron¡¯s eyes. Although the beastmen she knew so far only had the ability to transform, her understanding of this world was too little. She had to be more vigilant. ¡°Tsk! You¡¯re quite smart.¡± Barron¡¯s weak mocking voice rang out in Qiao Mo¡¯s ears.. Chapter 28 - Rock Salt Found! Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°You tricked me?¡± Qiao Mo asked angrily, but dared not look at him. Barron said weakly, ¡°This is our rabbit race¡¯s enticing ability. I didn¡¯t expect your willpower to be so strong that you weren¡¯t controlled by me. As expected of the female I¡¯ve selected.¡± Qiao Mo¡¯s hands that were grabbing onto his ears gripped with a greater force and Barron gasped in pain. ¡°So what if you¡¯ve caught me? You still can¡¯t walk out of my territory. You might as well become my mate obediently. Whether it¡¯s that stupid lion or that foolish wolf, their statuses aren¡¯t as distinguished as mine. As my mate, you definitely won¡¯t suffer.¡± Qiao Mo pursed her lips. She felt angry because she had almost been tricked by this rabbit and deliberately said, ¡°How distinguished can you be? You¡¯re still hiding underground and can¡¯t see the light of day.¡± After she said this, Barron suddenly fell silent, contrary to the retaliation she had expected. Qiao Mo could not help but look at his face and realized that he was looking down at the ground in a daze, looking a little lonely. Qiao Mo raised her eyebrows. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Had she said something wrong that poked right into this rabbit¡¯s heart? At this moment, the female called Eva rushed into the cave. She was stunned to see the two of them, then quickly turned around, as if she had seen something she shouldn¡¯t have. With her back to Barron, she said anxiously, ¡°Her Highness Irene looks like she won¡¯t be able to hang on for much longer!¡± Barron struggled to get up, but he fell back to the ground weakly. He could only turn to look at Qiao Mo, his face filled with anxiety and pleading. Qiao Mo thought for a while and finally let go of Barron¡¯s ears. Irene should be someone important to him, and as a doctor, Qiao Mo would always put patients first. Qiao Mo released Barron¡¯s ear and said to Eva, ¡°Where is the patient? Take me to her.¡± Eva asked Barron with her eyes, and the latter nodded. Eva led the way, with Qiao Mo close behind her and Barron at the back. His two rabbit ears hang down limply, his long and slender hands clenched tightly. He looked nervous, but at the same time, helpless. Qiao Mo asked Eva, ¡°Who is Irene to Barron?¡± Eva said in a low voice, ¡°Her Highness Irene is Barron¡¯s older sister. After that incident, Her Highness Irene had been the one taking care of Barron. If anything happens to Her Highness Irene, His Highness Barron¡­¡± Qiao Mo was even more confused. ¡°What is that incident? Also, why do you call them Her Highness and His Highness?¡± Eva covered her mouth in surprise. ¡°His Highness Barron hasn¡¯t told you yet?¡± Before Qiao Mo could reply, Eva knew she had said too much. She shook her head and quickly led the way. They arrived at a cave inside. On the bedding woven from grass, there was a woman with fair skin and big eyes curled up. Her weak lips had lost all color, and her rabbit ears were curled up together. She looked very weak and pitiful. When she heard someone entering, the woman lifted her eyelids, but immediately after, she lay on the bed and started convulsing. The few male rabbit beastmen around her quickly went up to her upon seeing that. ¡°Her Highness Irene is breaking out in sweat again. Hurry up and help her take off the animal skin.¡± ¡°Your Highness Irene, please hold on. Barron has gotten a shaman here. You¡¯ll definitely get better!¡± Although the beastmen said so, they were actually very uncertain in their hearts. This was because none of their tribesmen who had contracted this disease in the past were able to survive. Not even when there were shamans present! Eva said, ¡°The shaman is here!¡± The few male beastmen stepped aside, but when they saw Qiao Mo, doubt started to appear in their eyes. This female didn¡¯t have ears. Although there were beastmen without ears, they definitely weren¡¯t from the fox tribe. But in this forest, it was said that only Ace from the fox tribe was omnipotent. Only he could cure diseases that other shamans couldn¡¯t! However, after Qiao Mo entered the cave, she stopped in shock. It wasn¡¯t because of anyone in the room. It was because she saw something in the cave she had been dreaming of getting her hands on! Salt! On the walls of the cave, there were crystallized rock salts! Chapter 29 - Red Top, White Rod Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios It was the salt that Qiao Mo had been thinking about constantly after coming to the beastmen world! Although she had always thought of the possibility for her to return to her original world, since she had brought Harry¡¯s people delicious food that they had never enjoyed before, she could not bear to take this bliss away from their hands. Qiao Mo had always hoped to teach Harry and the others how to dry seawater to obtain salt or find enough salt for them. With that, if she really leaves, she would be able to leave something behind for these simple and friendly friends. Qiao Mo did not expect to find them after being caught here by Smart Cookie! Qiao Mo looked away and hurried to Irene¡¯s side. ¡°I¡¯ll take a look at the patient. You guys can tell me about the patient¡¯s condition.¡± A male beastman stopped in front of Qiao Mo and questioned Barron, ¡°Barron, is this the shaman you found for Her Highness Irene? I¡¯ve never seen a female who can treat illnesses!¡± He was right. In the beastmen¡¯s world, females were known to be lazy. Of course, this laziness was not a derogatory term. Females were born without the alertness and strength that males had. Coupled with the fact that they were few in number, they were always protected. From the past until now, the beastmen had an unwritten rule, which was that female beastmen needed to be fed. They only needed to do chores at home and pick fruits. Moreover, because they were few in number, most males were unable to mate and have offspring. Therefore, female beastmen had always had the right to choose their mates first, as well as the high status that fertility brought them. Such survival conditions also led to a lack of production by female beastmen and their learning abilities decreased. They were more willing to enjoy the benefits their mates brought them. The shaman profession was not as simple as just dancing. Female shamans were really very rare, but it wasn¡¯t as if there weren¡¯t any. This time, it was mainly because Her Highness was seriously ill. They believed that Her Highness¡¯s illness would only stand a chance if treated by Ace from the fox clan. Barron had volunteered to go out and request for the shaman¡¯s help, but he ended up bringing back a female who wasn¡¯t strong and looked pampered. This made them disappointed. Barron said, ¡°I went to the fox tribe, but they said that if I didn¡¯t have enough food, I wouldn¡¯t even have the right to see Ace! I originally planned on visiting the goat tribe, but I encountered her when I passed by the lion tribe.¡± ¡°I witnessed an Elder from the wolf race thanking her. She knows how to treat illnesses and saved the life of that Elder. I want to let her try!¡± The male beastman¡¯s expression turned ugly. ¡°You¡¯re too reckless.¡± As he spoke, he quickly sized up Qiao Mo. Given the one in ten thousand chance, he bowed respectfully and took a step back, indicating that he was willing to give Qiao Mo a chance to try. Qiao Mo asked, ¡°Tell me about her condition.¡± The male beastman said, ¡°Her Highness Irene ate a red top white rod!¡± Qiao Mo was dumbfounded. ¡°White rod? What white rod?¡± The male anxiously repeated, ¡°Red top! White rod!¡± Qiao Mo was even more confused. She could understand every word, but she couldn¡¯t understand anything when they were connected. ¡°Say it clearly! What exactly is it!¡± Qiao Mo felt like she was going crazy. The patient was twitching so much that she was about to become unconscious, but she could not understand what the beastman was saying! Seeing Qiao Mo¡¯s ignorant look, the few male beastmen in the room looked to be in despair. Oh no! This female who didn¡¯t seem too trustworthy was even more ignorant than they had imagined! Qiao Mo looked back at Barron anxiously. ¡°You tell me! Say it clearly! What rod is it? They say that it¡¯s white and red.¡± Barron¡¯s bright red eyes turned a little, and he suddenly drew a semicircle above his head. ¡°A red top, with a white rod below.. That¡¯s a red top white rod!¡± Chapter 30 - A Nasty-Smelling Treatment Plan Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Qiao Mo was stunned for a moment before she suddenly came to a realization. ¡°Mushroom? Did she eat a red poisonous mushroom? Did it grow on the ground? It has a round top and a while rod at the bottom?¡± Barron shook his head vigorously. Qiao Mo asked, ¡°How long was it since she ate it?¡± Barron said, ¡°She accidentally ate the white rod yesterday, not long before you met me!¡± Qiao Mo frowned. ¡°It¡¯s been a while. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯ll work or not. Shave off some of the salt on the wall. Try to add as much of it as possible into some water.¡± She pointed at the white crystals on the cave wall. All the rabbit beastmen in the room were stunned. A shaman who obtained materials on the spot for their treatment? Furthermore, this choice was too casual! Qiao Mo spoke loudly, ¡°Hurry up! Don¡¯t you guys want to save her?¡± The patient had consumed a poisonous mushroom by mistake. Although Qiao Mo was a surgeon, she still knew some simple common medical knowledge. Under such rundown conditions, the only thing that could be effective was rapid induced vomiting. When a large amount of salt is dissolved in water, it can irritate the stomach lining and cause dilution and rapid induced vomiting. Of course, if she had not been so lucky today that there was salt, Qiao Mo could still ask them to dig her throat with their fingers to cause Irene to vomit. It was just that it had been quite a while since she had consumed the poisonous mushroom and Qiao Mo was not sure how effective vomiting was. Several male beastmen had already started taking action. They took out stone tools and used them to chisel the crystals on the rock wall with great strength. Among them, those with fiery tempers were already secretly furious. They thought to themselves that this female had such a bad temper. If she was lying to them or couldn¡¯t cure Her Highness Irene, they would definitely tear her apart on the spot. Not all from the rabbit race were gentle and docile. Soon, someone had already followed instructions and placed the warm water in a container and brought it to Qiao Mo. Qiao Mo threw a big handful of salt into the water. ¡°Let her drink it!¡± Barron grabbed Qiao Mo¡¯s hand. ¡°Really?¡± Qiao Mo nodded firmly. Barron didn¡¯t say anything else and instructed Eva to feed Irene the strange bowl of water. Irene was still conscious, but she was completely exhausted from the pain of her illness. She gulped down the water in large mouthfuls. This water was really the worst tasting water she had ever drunk in her life! Under Qiao Mo¡¯s orders, Eva kept feeding Irene water until her stomach could no longer contain anymore. Everyone watched as they waited. After a while, Erin suddenly started throwing up. Her expression was uncomfortable, and she looked even worse than before. Seeing Irene like this, the males in the room were starting to glare at Qiao Mo. Qiao Mo didn¡¯t look at anyone else. She was focused on Erin. Irene vomited for a long time. The amount of food she vomited was definitely not what an adult should have. As rabbits were omnivorous animals and there was a lot of vomit, the cave soon became smelly. Just then, Irene, who had just stopped vomiting and was resting, heard a loud rumbling sound from her abdomen again. She blushed and said weakly, ¡°I want to excrete.¡± Barron looked at Qiao Mo. Qiao Mo nodded. ¡°Excretion is a good sign.¡± Irene transformed into her rabbit form. She could not even stand straight with her huge body and her mates had to support her from the side. Qiao Mo had kept rabbits before and had seen them excreted before. However, she had never seen such a big one in the act of excretion. In fact, Qiao Mo did not want to see it either, so she turned around. Soon, the plopping sounds when a human had diarrhea could be heard. However, the sounds were ten times louder than that of a human having diarrhea. A few male beastmen who were nearby pinched their noses with painful expressions.. Chapter 31 - Qiao Mo Fell Sick Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Irene continued to have diarrhea and vomited for a while. The water that Qiao Mo had ordered Eva to boil had been left to cool for a while. The temperature of the water was approaching the human body temperature. She put a small amount of salt into the water and gestured for Irene to drink it. The smart Barron could tell that the reason Irene had vomited and had diarrhea was that she drank Qiao Mo¡¯s water. He could not help but remind her when he saw that Qiao Mo was about to give Irene the same water. ¡°Her body probably won¡¯t be able to take it anymore.¡± If she continued to excrete like this, he was afraid that something bad would happen. This kind of diarrhea happened frequently among the beastmen and they had a high probability of being life-threatening. Qiao Mo explained in a soft voice, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The amount of salt in the water just now was higher in order to stimulate her to get rid of the food in her stomach. Now, there¡¯s only a small amount of salt in this drink. It can actually replenish her energy.¡± Barron didn¡¯t fully understand, but he could sort of understand what Qiao Mo meant. The amount of crystals in the two drinks were different and their effects were different too. Eva obeyed and gave Irene the drink. Although her diarrhea and vomiting did not stop, Irene seemed to have held on for longer than other beastmen who had encountered this situation before. Qiao Mo spent the whole day observing Irene¡¯s condition. After the induced vomiting, diarrhea, and replenishment, although Irene was exhausted and fell asleep, her condition was obviously better than before. By night time, Irene¡¯s condition had obviously improved, and Qiao Mo had been constantly making adjustments to the treatment plan for her. There were no glucose and nutrient fluids in this world, so she could only use salt water to help the electrolyte disorder caused by Irene¡¯s vomiting and diarrhea. Later, when Irene showed signs of dehydration, Qiao Mo changed the saltwater to ordinary warm water to hydrate her. Under such crude medical conditions, this was all Qiao Mo could do. The rest would depend on the patient¡¯s immunity. Qiao Mo passed out from exhaustion after one whole day of hard work. When she forced herself to open her eyes, she felt someone touching her body. When Qiao Mo cautiously opened her eyes, she saw that Irene was in her weak condition, trying to cover her with a piece of animal skin. As for her mates, they were already sleeping all over on the cave floor. Barron was also sleeping on the ground near the entrance. Seeing that Qiao Mo had woken up, Irene smiled and gestured to her to keep quiet. Then she tucked Qiao Mo under the animal skin before lying back down weakly. Qiao Mo looked at the animal skin covering her body and felt that the temperature in the cave had clearly become colder. She guessed that it must be early in the morning. It was always the coldest at the moment the day and night switched and she was brought here by Barron at night. Harry must have finished his hunt and gone back. He probably realized long ago that she had disappeared and was running around anxiously. Qiao Mo sighed, unable to go back to sleep. She lay on the ground and looked up at the irregular rock walls above her, thinking back on what she had been through for the past two or three days. Perhaps because she was constantly in a state of anxiety and panic, she hadn¡¯t eaten much. Therefore, she didn¡¯t think of the issue of needing to go to the toilet. Now, she suddenly felt like peeing. Looking at the sleeping beastmen around her, Qiao Mo was too embarrassed to wake them up and ask where she should go to take care of her business. She thought to herself to bear with it a little longer. She could just go back to sleep. It¡¯d be fine if she were to sleep. Irene¡¯s illness began to improve. But Qiao Mo fell sick. She had a cold and a fever, and her body was burning up. She knew that she must have caught a cold because Barron had brought her out in the middle of the night. In addition, she had not had enough rest for the past two days and had gone through a lot of things. The high tension and being unaccustomed to the weather caused her to fall sick. However, the rabbit tribe started to spread rumors that the female shaman¡¯s treatment method was actually transferring Irene¡¯s illness to herself. This made the beastmen shed tears of gratitude and admiration for Qiao Mo. At the same time, they also dispelled the idea of learning from Qiao Mo to treat illnesses with rock wall¡¯s crystals. They did not want to end up dying after treating others. The beastmen even started to spread strange rumors, avoiding the crystals on the rock walls. When Barron found out that Qiao Mo was sick and heard these comments, he was filled with regret. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t know that using that thing to treat her illness would transfer Irene¡¯s pain to you. I really deserve to die! This is not what I wanted!¡± Qiao Mo felt like laughing, but the fever made it hard for her to do that. ¡°It¡¯s not Irene¡¯s problem. Maybe it¡¯s because I¡¯m not used to life underground.. Can you let me go back, Barron?¡± Chapter 32 - Going Home Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Hesitation flashed in Barron¡¯s eyes, then he stroked Qiao Mo¡¯s long hair gently, his bright red eyes filled with endless gentleness. ¡°We can talk about other things after you¡¯ve recovered.¡± Qiao Mo wanted to say something, but she started coughing. Barron looked nervous. ¡°I¡¯ll prepare the crystal soak and transfer your illness and pain onto me!¡± Qiao Mo was speechless. It turned out that what she had said was in vain. He thought that she had transferred Irene¡¯s illness onto herself with the saltwater. Qiao Mo wanted to explain herself, but she felt a wave of dizziness wash over her. Qiao Mo could only let herself fall asleep as Barron¡¯s nervous calls rang in her ears. When she woke up groggily again, Qiao Mo felt that her illness had worsened. There was no sunlight underground, only even colder temperatures. ¡°This won¡¯t do. If I still don¡¯t take my medicine, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll die from illness here¡­¡± Qiao Mo struggled to get up. She wanted to call for Barron but was unable to do so when she opened her mouth. At the same time, she felt that her abdomen was about to explode. Qiao Mo could only support herself against the wall and get up. She couldn¡¯t care less and found a place in the corner of the cave¡­ After all, she hadn¡¯t peed for three to four days! Qiao Mo swore that this was the most difficult pee she had in her life. Her body was weak and her footsteps were soft. If it wasn¡¯t because she was supporting herself against the wall, she would probably have fallen to the ground. ¡°Qiao!¡± Barron had rushed over and hugged her from behind when Qiao Mo was staggering and about to pull up her pants. Qiao Mo froze. An awkward feeling spread through her entire body, but her body burning with a high fever made her not have the mood to feel ashamed. ¡°You have to send me back. Only then can I recover from my illness.¡± Barron picked Qiao Mo up horizontally. ¡°I¡¯ll go get you a shaman!¡± Qiao Mo shook her head. ¡°The medicines that can treat me are in the wolf tribe. I have to go back.¡± ¡°Let her go back,¡± Irene¡¯s voice suddenly rang out from outside the cave. Irene entered the cave with Eva¡¯s help. ¡°Qiao saved my life. We have to respect her decision. You have no right to keep her here, Barron.¡± Qiao Mo looked at Irene gratefully and smiled weakly. ¡°Are you feeling better?¡± Irene sat gently on Qiao Mo¡¯s bed and reached out to stroke her face. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Qiao. We¡¯re in a very difficult situation now and there¡¯s nothing we can do to repay you, but we will always remember your kindness. The only thing I can do now is to send you back to your land. I just want to confirm if your illness can really be treated after you go back.¡± Qiao Mo saw the worry in Irene¡¯s eyes and smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s just a fever. I¡¯ll be fine after taking medicine.¡± Irene nodded, but the worry in her eyes did not lessen at all. Although Qiao Mo did not seem to take fever as a serious illness, she knew that once beastmen showed such symptoms, most of them would die. Qiao Mo said weakly, ¡°Actually, there¡¯s something you have to repay me with.¡± Irene looked stunned. ¡°What is it?¡± Qiao Mo looked at the crystals on the wall. ¡°Give me those rock salt.¡± Irene also looked at the crystals on the wall. The entire rabbit race was afraid of these things for fear of transferring some diseases onto themselves through them. Do you really need them?¡± Erin confirmed again. Qiao Mo nodded. Irene then instructed her tribesmen to knock down all the crystals on the walls and give them to Qiao Mo. She then instructed Barron to send Qiao Mo back to her territory. Barron seemed like he wouldn¡¯t go against Irene. He lowered his head and remained silent for a moment before he seemed to have made up his mind and nodded. With that, Barron ran out of the underground cave with Qiao Mo on his back, along with several rabbit beastmen and countless amounts of rock salt.. Chapter 33 - Why Is He Here?! Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios When Qiao Mo opened her eyes again, she was already lying in Harry¡¯s stone house. When she opened her eyes, she was greeted by the familiar environment and Harry¡¯s anxious face. There was also Shaman Evan¡¯s dance which she couldn¡¯t comment about. ¡°She¡¯s woken up! She¡¯s woken up!¡± Lily said in pleasant surprise. After sending Shaman Evan off, Harry told Qiao Mo that he had found her on an empty land outside the tribe. There were also many huge bags made from sewing animal skins next to her. The bags were filled with salt. ¡°I thought Charlie had abducted you, but you weren¡¯t there when I went to his territory.¡± Harry¡¯s eyes that were under the silver mask were filled with heartache. Qiao Mo could tell that Harry hadn¡¯t slept for the past few days. His eyes were clearly bloodshot, and his lips that were exposed outside the mask were also clearly pale and dry. Qiao Mo had agreed to help the rabbit tribe conceal the truth, so she only said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Harry. I went to help a friend save someone. I was in a hurry to leave and wasn¡¯t able to tell you.¡± Harry didn¡¯t blame Qiao Mo. Qiao Mo asked Harry to bring her bag over and then found some fever medicine. She took it with water and fell into deep sleep again. When she opened her eyes again, it was already dark outside. Qiao Mo was covered in a thick piece of animal skin and there was a fire burning beside the bed, warming the house. Harry slept beside her, holding Qiao Mo in his arms as he slept. His pale pink lips were also raised slightly in his sleep and made him look relieved. Qiao Mo sighed. She felt her forehead and knew that her fever had subsided. She was also more awake now. She heaved a sigh of relief. Harry opened his eyes at that moment. ¡°You¡¯re awake? I¡¯ll go roast some meat for you.¡± Qiao Mo quickly pulled him back. ¡°I won¡¯t be able to eat meat.¡± Harry said, ¡°But you haven¡¯t eaten in two days.¡± Qiao Mo was stunned. ¡°I slept for two days after I came back?¡± Harry nodded worriedly and touched Qiao Mo¡¯s forehead. ¡°How are you feeling? Eh? It doesn¡¯t feel so hot anymore. Is it because of that white thing?¡± He was referring to the fever medicine Qiao Mo took out from her bag. Qiao Mo nodded. Harry looked at Qiao Mo¡¯s bag curiously. She reckoned that the bag had really become Doraemon¡¯s pocket in his eyes. Qiao Mo smiled and took out a piece of chocolate from her bag. She broke off a piece for herself and ate it, then broke off another piece for Harry. Harry took it curiously and threw it into his mouth as Qiao Mo did. He then wore a strange expression on his face and stuck his tongue out sadly. This taste was really too strange for him. However, when he tasted it carefully, he could taste hazelnuts. It was sweet and quite delicious. Qiao Mo ate some chocolate and drank a lot of water before falling asleep again. The next morning, Qiao Mo could get out of bed. To her pleasant surprise, she realized that the potatoes and sweet potatoes she had planted before she left had sprouted. Hadn¡¯t it only been a few days? Probably less than a week? Moreover, it was winter! It was too strange. However, Qiao Mo, who was in a hurry to go to the toilet, couldn¡¯t care less. After asking Harry, she found a corner behind the house. After she was done, Harry came over personally to rinse the ground with water. He then buried some more soil on it and said, ¡°The smell of female excrement will attract males and might even attract beastmen from other territories. From now on, you have to wash it clean in time each time you¡¯re done.¡± Qiao Mo felt a little embarrassed. It was like how her mother would nag at her to dry the floor each time she was done with her shower or it could cause people to slip and fall easily. Moreover, this was about using the toilet and Harry was a guy. ¡°Oh right, where¡¯s my salt?¡± Qiao Mo asked. The moment she said that she saw a small, white, fluffy thing squatting in the corner of the wall and looking at her with a pair of bright red eyes! Qiao Mo pointed at the rabbit in shock.. ¡°Why is he here?¡± Chapter 34 - Foul-Smelling Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The rabbit didn¡¯t seem to be very intelligent and was licking his front paws. Harry found this strange and took a look at the rabbit. ¡°Hasn¡¯t it always been here?¡± Over the past few days, Harry had been looking for Qiao Mo and had long forgotten about the rabbit. Because he hadn¡¯t paid attention to it, he didn¡¯t know if the rabbit had been around or not. Hence, he naturally thought that the rabbit had always been around. Qiao Mo withdrew her astonishment and calmed herself down. She walked up, grabbed the rabbit by the ears, and headed into the house. The rabbit let out agonizing cries. Harry looked toward Qiao Mo¡¯s back view and asked, ¡°Are you going to roast it? I¡¯ll go make a fire.¡± Qiao Mo did not turn around. ¡°Not for now.¡± Harry was a little disappointed. He had wanted to roast this rabbit for a long time, but Qiao Mo seemed to like it a lot and said that she wanted to raise it as some kind of pet. Therefore, Harry could only watch this fat and large rabbit circle around in front of him. Qiao Mo brought the fat rabbit into the room and raised him by the ears. The rabbit¡¯s ignorant eyes finally carried anger that was filled with intelligence. He bared his teeth to express his dissatisfaction towards Qiao Mo and glared at her with his bright red pupils. At the next moment, he transformed into his human form. With his ears still grabbed in Qiao Mo¡¯s hand, he collapsed weakly onto the ground. His eyes were filled with charm as he glared at Qiao Mo weakly and reproachfully. ¡°Damn woman, hurry up and let go.¡± Qiao Mo quickly let go. She did not expect that this guy would dare to take on a human form in Harry¡¯s territory. Wasn¡¯t he afraid of being discovered? ¡°Why are you here?¡± Qiao Mo frowned and asked. Barron rolled his eyes at her, but his face was too beautiful. In addition to the bright flower petals on his forehead, he was even more beautiful than the most beautiful woman Qiao Mo had ever seen. Hence, this eye roll appeared sweet as if he was accusing Qiao Mo of being a heartless person. ¡°You saved my older sister. I have nothing to repay you with, so I can only dedicate my loyalty to you. From now on, I¡¯ll be your male, you¡¯ll have to treat me better.¡± Barron still had that proud expression on his face, as if Qiao Mo needed to owe him a huge favor for his actions. Qiao Mo waved her hands frantically. ¡°Forget about being my male. The reason I saved your sister is that I treat you as a friend. There¡¯s no need to repay me.¡± Friend? Qiao Mo actually regarded him as a pet, but she was just embarrassed to say it. However, Barron looked like he had made up his mind. ¡°You excreted in my cave, and I helped you to cover your scent. You didn¡¯t reject me back then, but now you¡¯re refusing to acknowledge it?¡± Qiao Mo glared at him. ¡°When did I¡­¡± Before she could finish, she remembered that when she had a fever that day, she seemed to have, in a corner of Barron¡¯s cave¡­ No wonder when Harry was rinsing the ground with water for her just now, Qiao Mo could vaguely see a smug and happy expression on his face! So it meant something when a female excreted on their territory? Barron said, ¡°Females only excrete in the territory of the males they approve of. This means that she¡¯s willing for him to become her male. You¡¯re not telling me that you don¡¯t even know this, are you?¡± Qiao Mo¡¯s muscles stiffened. ¡°I was sick back then and couldn¡¯t walk far.¡± Barron rolled his eyes at her. ¡°Anyway, I¡¯m already your male and have decided to pledge my loyalty to you. I¡¯ve sworn that I¡¯ll only have one female in this life. If she abandons me, I¡¯ll be alone for the rest of my life!¡± Qiao Mo wanted to say something more. However, Harry¡¯s voice rang out from outside. ¡°Qiao Mo, are you talking to me?¡± As he spoke, he had already lifted the animal skin curtain and entered the room. Qiao Mo quickly looked at Barron and saw that he had turned into a rabbit. After Harry entered the house, he stopped and sniffed the air. This action made Qiao Mo a little nervous. Harry said, ¡°What¡¯s that smell?¡± With that, he looked toward Barron. Qiao Mo licked her dry lips. Before she could say anything, Harry frowned at the rabbit and said, ¡°Foul-smelling.¡± With that, he left the room again.. Chapter 35 - Malt Syrup and Mating Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Qiao Mo couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter at Harry¡¯s evaluation of Barron¡¯s smell. Ignoring Barron¡¯s angry gaze, Qiao Mo walked briskly to the outside of the house. Now that the problem of the salt had been taken care of, Qiao Mo was planning on researching sugar. ¡°Malt seeds and white rice? We¡¯ll need to go to the Beast God City to look for the cow tribe to trade with them for those. Only the big family clans in the Beast God City are proficient in farming. I¡¯ll go inform Lily right away. They¡¯re going to the city to trade for food today.¡± Fortunately, after Qiao Mo described the form and uses of wheat, Harry quickly understood what Qiao Mo was talking about. In this world, they used the same name for wheat. ¡°Why don¡¯t I go to the Beast God City with Lily and the others?¡± Qiao Mo had wanted to visit the legendary Beast God City for a long time. After all, she had been living in the forest ever since she arrived. However, Harry firmly rejected Qiao Mo¡¯s idea. ¡°No, you haven¡¯t recovered. If you want to go, I¡¯ll go with you personally after you¡¯ve recovered.¡± He didn¡¯t want to lose Qiao Mo again. Ever since Qiao Mo had been captured by Charlie the last time she went out with Lily, Harry had made up his mind that he must be by her side each time she went out. Seeing his firm attitude, Qiao Mo thought of how she hadn¡¯t recovered and agreed. Harry returned from the females quickly. He told Qiao Mo happily that because Qiao Mo had cured Elder Jessie, taught them how to braise meat, and had also brought back so much salt, they were willing to use the spices they made to trade for as much malt as they could for her. Qiao Mo was a little touched. In the afternoon, Lily led the females and brought back a lot of white rice and malt seeds to Harry¡¯s house. Qiao Mo was planning on making malt syrup. The quality of the white rice here wasn¡¯t very good. They were yellow and coarse. Qiao Mo soaked the malt in water and put them together with rice in a container to ferment. Then, she brought some females to the riverside to wash the peppercorn, remove their shells, then dry them under the sun before grinding them into powder. Qiao Mo had spent almost the entirety of the next two days busy preparing seasonings. After the malt and rice were fermented, Qiao Mo started to make sugar. Of course, this kind of sugar would not be like white granulated sugar. It¡¯d be a viscous yellow syrup. This was the technique used by people in ancient China to make sugar and was relatively simple. Although the sugar couldn¡¯t be refined nor could they make it such that no impurities were left behind, it was sufficient to be used in improving the taste of the dishes or make some sweets and snacks, When Qiao Mo dipped her finger in the sticky syrup and put it into Lily¡¯s mouth, the little girl with the upturned nose and green eyes let out a cheerful wolf¡¯s howl. Lily said that this was even sweeter than the fruits produced by the sweetest fruit trees in the elephant tribe¡¯s territory. At night, when Harry returned to his room, he saw Qiao Mo fiddling with the bottles and cans on the windowsill. All of them contained the seasonings Qiao Mo used to make various delicacies. Looking at Qiao Mo¡¯s slender and busy figure that appeared especially gentle under the reflection of the fire, Harry¡¯s heart turned soft. He thought to himself that this must be the feeling of having a female of his own. It felt really nice. As Harry thought this, he had already untied his animal skin clothing and hugged Qiao Mo¡¯s waist from behind. He bit Qiao Mo¡¯s ear and said softly, ¡°Shall we mate?¡± He knew that Qiao Mo¡¯s estrus period had passed and mating could no longer bring him children, but he still wanted to mate with her. Qiao Mo let out a cry of surprise and almost knocked over her sugar jar. ¡°Harry, stop it!¡± However, she could already feel a hard object pressed against her lower back. ¡°I can¡¯t hold it in anymore..¡± Chapter 36 - Qiao Mo Wants To Faint Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Qiao Mo¡¯s face flushed red. She really couldn¡¯t hide from him forever. About the matter of mating, Harry wouldn¡¯t be able to understand if she were to talk about it on a deeper level. He wouldn¡¯t be able to understand her and would even feel hurt. However, if she were to talk about it too superficially, this guy would keep thinking about it¡­ Qiao Mo was hesitating on how to explain things to Harry and she didn¡¯t see a furious rabbit baring his fangs viciously, taking a bite at Harry¡¯s ankle. This bite didn¡¯t even penetrate Harry¡¯s skin. Harry only felt a little abnormal and then subconsciously swung his leg. The rabbit was instantly sent flying fiercely and crashed into the stone wall with a bang. His eyes rolled back and he fainted. Qiao Mo was startled by the strange sound of the rabbit smashing against the wall. She turned around and saw the rabbit sliding down the wall with a thud. ¡°Smart Cookie!¡± Qiao Mo rushed over in shock and picked up the unconscious rabbit. When she turned to look at Harry, she realized that he had already removed his animal skin clothing. His naked body was well-proportioned, firm, and strong. White hair draped over his shoulders. Under the silver mask were his blue eyes and perfect lips. However, the huge rod between his legs was standing upright and twitching under the reflection of the flames! Qiao Mo immediately covered her face and closed her eyes tightly. She was caught between laughter and tears yet felt very helpless. ¡°Why did you knock him out?¡± Harry looked helpless. ¡°I didn¡¯t pay attention either. I just felt something biting me so I put out my leg and swung it out.¡± Qiao Mo had a bit of an urge to laugh. She flipped up Barron¡¯s eyelids. This guy had probably only passed out and should be fine. She sighed as she thought to herself that she seemed to have become a veterinarian while she placed Barron in the small nest she had woven for him with grass ropes. After doing that, Qiao Mo decided to muster up the courage to clarify things with Harry. ¡°Harry, I¡¯m very grateful that you saved me. I really treat you as a friend. Perhaps I have started to like you a little now with us sleeping together every day, but this is far from the extent of wanting to mate with you. Back where I was from, only two people who are very, very in love can mate. Do you understand what I mean?¡± Qiao Mo¡¯s feeling was purely one of a woman liking a handsome man. However, she could not be sure if it was the feeling of love between a man and a woman. Harry frowned, his thin pink lips pursed into a line. He stared at Qiao Mo stubbornly. ¡°But you¡¯re my mate and you admit that you kind of like me. You even excreted in my territory!¡± Qiao Mo really wanted to faint on the spot. For this, she was a little envious of Barron, who had already fainted. Harry walked closer to Qiao Mo, displaying his masculinity and strength generously. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, his legs were muscular, slender, firm, and strong. The most eye-catching part of his body swayed as he walked. As he walked, he observed Qiao Mo¡¯s shy gaze and felt a little proud. His father had once told him that a male¡¯s body could attract a female. Even if this female was unwilling to mate with him at the start, there was a high chance that she would agree to mate with him after he had shown her his body. Of course, Harry had never thought of showing his body to attract any female in his life. In fact, it had always been the females who showed themselves to him in order to attract him to mate with them. However, Harry rejected all of them. He didn¡¯t like those females, but he really liked Qiao Mo. He really hoped that Qiao Mo could become his female and looked forward to Qiao Mo mating with him, for the two of them to form a true union with each other.. Chapter 37 - Strange Illness Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Seeing that Harry was coming, Qiao Mo quickly moved around him. It ended up that each time Harry took a step, Qiao Mo would take a step back until she reached the side of the bed. Plop! Qiao Mo sat on the bed and quickly moved back. ¡°Don¡¯t come over!¡± She kept moving until she reached the wall, and Harry pounced on her as well. The strange thing was that Harry had thrown himself into Qiao Mo¡¯s arms and was kneeling with his ass up. He rubbed his head against Qiao Mo¡¯s stomach and kept twisting his body. He was like a big dog whining to its owner. Qiao Mo looked stunned. It would be fine if he was really a big dog, but Harry still had the appearance of a handsome man! Why was he kneeling and rubbing himself against her chest! Qiao Mo couldn¡¯t help but slap his head away. ¡°I want to stay alone! I think I need a room that belongs only to me!¡± The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Harry looked up, panic filling his blue eyes. ¡°Why?¡± Qiao Mo opened her mouth and met Harry¡¯s panicked eyes. She really couldn¡¯t say the following words out loud. Would it hurt him too much to say that what he had brought her a disturbance? Qiao Mo covered her face with her hands. If this was her original world, it¡¯d be considered light to call a man who frequently takes off his clothes in front of a woman as harassing her. He¡¯d be called a hooligan or to be said to have exhibitionism¡­ However, facing a simple-minded beastman with such a pure desire to mate, Qiao Mo really could not bear to criticize Harry like that. ¡°Do you remember that I fell sick a few days ago?¡± Qiao Mo asked with a bitter expression. Harry nodded. Qiao Mo sighed. ¡°I took that white pill. You saw that, right?¡± Harry nodded again, his eyes clean and beautiful. Qiao Mo closed her eyes and sighed. ¡°Although that white pill can cure my illness, it has a side effect. I mustn¡¯t mate for a certain period of time. Otherwise¡­¡± ¡°Otherwise what?¡± asked Harry anxiously. Qiao Mo opened her eyes and looked at Harry seriously. ¡°Otherwise, I¡¯d have taken that medicine for nothing. Not only will the medicinal effects be gone, but my illness will also aggravate and be incurable!¡± Harry¡¯s eyes widened and he slapped his head in frustration. ¡°You should have told me this earlier!¡± Qiao Mo said, ¡°But you keep walking around naked in front of me all the time, trying to use different methods to arouse my desire to mate. I feel that I should live alone. This might allow me to rest in peace.¡± Qiao Mo lowered her head and finished speaking. When she looked up again, she realized that Harry was already neatly dressed and standing on the other side of the fire. He looked at her solemnly and said, ¡°We don¡¯t have additional rooms, and I want to live with you. This will make it convenient for me to take care of your condition. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t take off my clothes randomly anymore.¡± Qiao Mo had wanted to use this opportunity to live somewhere else so that she wouldn¡¯t have to sleep with Harry all the time. Even if Harry could control himself, if she were to look at a beautiful man half-naked all the time, it was hard to guarantee that she wouldn¡¯t lose control of herself one day. However, the thought of having sex with a beastman was something that couldn¡¯t break past the line of defense in Qiao Mo¡¯s heart. At least for now, she could not convince herself to do that. However, Harry said that there were no extra rooms, so Qiao Mo could only nod helplessly. ¡°Can you bring me to the place where you found me that day? The place where you saved me.¡± Harry didn¡¯t ask why Qiao Mo was going. He just smiled and nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll bring you there tomorrow.¡± That night, Qiao Mo tossed and turned in bed and almost didn¡¯t sleep the entire night. She felt guilty as if she was going to abandon a dog that was reliant on herself outside. If she really were to return to her previous world through that cave, wouldn¡¯t that mean that she had abandoned Harry? But to refuse to go back for Harry¡¯s sake? Qiao Mo couldn¡¯t get herself to do that. Qiao Mo didn¡¯t sleep and neither was Harry. He hugged Qiao Mo to sleep and smelled the pleasant fragrance coming from her body. His physiological reaction made him unable to sleep. Thinking that Qiao Mo had fallen asleep, he poked her chest with his fingertips or pinched her slender waist that was different from other female beastmen. When Qiao Mo couldn¡¯t take it anymore, she would pretend to cough or turn over. He hurriedly pretended to be asleep and the two of them tossed and turned for the entire night.. Chapter 38 - Attack Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Qiao Mo was woken up by the sound of a horn and commotion. When she woke up, she realized that Harry wasn¡¯t in the room. There were faint sounds of fighting and screaming coming from outside, accompanied by angry roars. Qiao Mo couldn¡¯t care less and rushed out of the room barefooted. What entered her eyes were beastmen fighting with stone tools, women fleeing helplessly, and braziers scattered all over the ground. Smoke and fire from war. This was the first time Qiao Mo had seen such a scene and she stood rooted to the ground in shock. What was going on? Why was there a war? She suddenly recalled what Lily had said. The wars between the beastmen had never stopped. Larger tribes would unreasonably annex other tribes, and females would be redistributed in such wars¡­ Could it be that the wolf tribe had been attacked? Someone wanted to annex the wolf tribe! Harry! She had to find Harry! Qiao Mo forcefully endured her fear and her trembling as she made her way through the fighting beastmen, her gaze constantly searching for Harry¡¯s figure. However, to her despair, she didn¡¯t see him! However, Qiao Mo realized that other than the wolf race, the other group in the war seemed to be from the lion tribe. It wasn¡¯t just the lion race, but there were also other animals. It was because some of the beastmen had already transformed into their true forms during the battle, so Qiao Mo discovered a lion. At the same time, a bold guess flashed across her mind. Lion¡­ Charlie! Could it be that Charlie had come to take revenge because they had offended him last time? However, Harry had told Qiao Mo that Charlie would not come. At the very least, he would not choose to come during the winter. Was he consoling himself or was there some other reason that made Charlie change his plans? As her thoughts ran wild, Qiao Mo finally saw Harry¡¯s figure in an open space on the west side of the tribe. At this moment, Harry had transformed into a huge white wolf and was fighting a black-furred lion with dark purple fur on its back. Harry was clearly at a disadvantage in the fight. The lion was attacking fiercely and Harry¡¯s shoulder was given a fierce bite by him! ¡°Harry!¡± Qiao Mo gasped. Harry¡¯s head immediately turned in Qiao Mo¡¯s direction. It was also this moment that gave the lion an opportunity. He bit Harry¡¯s neck fiercely and his four limbs stepped heavily on Harry¡¯s body. In that instant, Harry was trampled under the lion and his neck was also bitten by the other party. Harry¡¯s eyes were still fixed in Qiao Mo¡¯s direction amidst the sad and furious howling. Qiao Mo¡¯s heart trembled and she shouted at the lion, ¡°Charlie! Stop! Don¡¯t hurt him!¡± Qiao Mo was only guessing that the lion was Charlie because she remembered that Charlie had black hair. The outer layer of his black hair had an unbridled purple layer that was exactly the same as this lion¡¯s fur. Qiao Mo¡¯s shout was indeed effective. The lion¡¯s dangerous gaze was locked on Qiao Mo. This glance made Qiao Mo take a step back subconsciously. At the same time, Harry and Charlie¡¯s figures turned into human figures. Harry was lying on the ground with a huge wound on his shoulder and fresh blood was gushing out. Charlie was also naked and kneeling on him, pressing Harry¡¯s body down and biting his neck at the same time. His eyes were locked on Qiao Mo dangerously. Seeing that it was really Charlie, Qiao Mo suddenly felt a little bit of despair, but also a little relieved. Her despair was that the reason he came should be for her. Her relief was that she should have the capacity to negotiate with Charlie to get him to let Harry off. Charlie slowly released his grip on Harry¡¯s neck, but he used his strong arms to dislocate both of Harry¡¯s arms. He did not break them but only dislocated them, rendering him immobile. Charlie then swung his hand fiercely in front of Harry¡¯s chest again. Harry immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and his body flew out into the distance.. Chapter 39 - The Domineering Charlie Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Qiao Mo let out a cry and rushed towards Harry, but Charlie grabbed her arm midway and held her tightly in his arms. He had a tall stature and this stood out even more so for Qiao Mo. At this moment, Qiao Mo seemed to be enveloped by his shadow and appeared very weak. Harry¡¯s eyes were red and his pupils were about to explode. He wanted to get up, but he could only turn his body and cough out a few mouthfuls of blood. ¡°Let go of her! If there¡¯s anything, come at me!¡± Charlie was cold and didn¡¯t even look at Harry. His gaze was locked on Qiao Mo. ¡°I¡¯m here to bring you back.¡± Qiao Mo shook her head fervently. Before she could retort, Harry had already rushed over again. Charlie didn¡¯t touch him. He just waved his hand, and a strong gust of wind sent the heavily injured Harry flying far away. Another mouthful of blood spurted out. Qiao Mo¡¯s eyes reddened from anxiety. ¡°Stop it! I¡¯ll go with you! Tell your people to stop! Don¡¯t hurt this tribe anymore!¡± Charlie stared at Qiao Mo coldly and domineeringly. ¡°If you¡¯re unwilling to come with me, I¡¯ll annex this tribe. At that time, as a captive, you¡¯ll still belong to me!¡± Qiao Mo felt a sense of despair. ¡°I¡¯ll leave with you. Tell your men to stop immediately!¡± An imperceptible smile appeared on Charlie¡¯s lips. He threw his head back and let out a roar. The two groups fighting gradually stopped. Elder Jessie held onto her injured abdomen that had yet to recover and rushed to Harry¡¯s side with the help of her three mates. ¡°Charlie, you¡¯re too much! You actually started a war in the winter just to get a female! Your atrocities will be reproached by the entire Myriad Beast Forest!¡± Charlie said coldly, ¡°It¡¯s your people who snatched my mate. Moreover, so what if you¡¯re dissatisfied? Under the oppression of the majestic lion, all dissatisfied voices will shut up!¡± With that, he picked Qiao Mo up horizontally in his arms, taking huge strides, and prepared to leave. Behind him, Harry let out a heart-wrenching howl. He then fell unconscious. Qiao Mo¡¯s eyes were wet with tears. ¡°Can you let me treat his wounds first? If you don¡¯t agree, even if you bring me back, I guarantee that you¡¯ll only be able to bring back a corpse!¡± Charlie stopped abruptly and froze for a long while. He then put Qiao Mo down and said, ¡°You only have the time it takes for a meal.¡± Qiao Mo quickly ran to Harry¡¯s house and took out her bag. She then returned to Harry¡¯s side to check the wound on his shoulder. This wound was very big and had been ripped open. Qiao Mo was worried that Harry would die because of this wound if she were to leave. Qiao Mo was quickly done with disinfecting and bandaging his wounds. Charlie then walked over, picked her up, and strode out of the wolf tribe in huge strides. After snatching back the lion king¡¯s female, all of the lion tribe¡¯s warriors were valiant and spirited. On the way back, they danced and roared happily, startling the birds in the forest and causing them to scatter. Back in the lion tribe¡¯s territory, under the gaze of his tribesmen, Charlie puffed up his chest and carried Qiao Mo into his cave. Qiao Mo was thrown onto a bed made of stones. Harry stretched out his hands and used his sharp nails to cut the animal skin clothing on Qiao Mo¡¯s body. Immediately, the woman¡¯s fair, slender, and well-embodied figure was revealed. Qiao Mo covered her chest with her arms and curled up her legs, retreating backward. Although she was discouraged and even thought of giving up on resisting, she still couldn¡¯t get herself to meet the man¡¯s scorching gaze with her naked body. But Charlie didn¡¯t care how hard she tried to hide it. He just bent over and ran his nose over Qiao Mo¡¯s body, his tone sounding surprised. ¡°To think that he didn¡¯t mate with you?¡± Qiao Mo gritted her teeth and did not reply. Charlie looked at Qiao Mo seriously, his tone domineering and deep. ¡°I will never share a female with other males. I hope that we will be each other¡¯s only one in this life.¡± Faced with the sudden confession of love, Qiao Mo cursed in her heart.. Chapter 40 - Elephant Races Calf Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios When Harry opened his eyes in a daze, Evan was dancing beside him. The beastmen who were gathered around him saw that Harry had woken up and immediately cheered. Harry glanced around and suddenly thought of Qiao Mo. He ignored the pain in his body and struggled to get up. Elder Jessie appeared at the right moment and pressed Harry down. ¡°You haven¡¯t recovered from your injuries yet. You can¡¯t move around yet!¡± Harry said in rage, ¡°I must go and save my mate!¡± Jessie clenched her fists tightly. ¡°We will never forget the humiliation that the lion tribe had brought us! But it¡¯s not advisable to start a war in the winter. We don¡¯t have enough food. Let¡¯s wait a little longer. As long as your wounds recover, I promise to let you become the tribal head immediately. All the tribesmen will listen to your orders!¡± Harry hit the stone bed angrily. ¡°But Qiao Mo can¡¯t wait that long! What if! What if¡­¡± Jessie consoled, ¡°I¡¯ll send someone to pay attention to the movements of the lion tribe. Once there¡¯s a chance, we¡¯ll bring her back even if it must be through stealing! Even if you want to snatch her back as soon as possible, you have to wait for your injuries to recover. Otherwise, what¡¯s the difference between that and suicide? Don¡¯t worry, this time around, it¡¯s because they suddenly launched a sneak attack and we were completely defenseless. If it¡¯s a real fight, it might not be impossible for us to win against them!¡± Jessie wasn¡¯t exaggerating. Wolves lived in a pack, and they were good at group fights. Although the lion tribe was powerful and had annexed many tribes, giving them an advantage in numbers, the wolf tribe¡¯s collective combat system was the most powerful among all the beastmen. If the wolf tribe wanted to fight to the death, no matter how powerful the other tribe was, they would not be able to get an advantage from them. It was precisely because of this and the unspoken rule among beastmen of not initiating war during winter that Harry was certain that Charlie would not attack them. However, he did not expect that he had underestimated Charlie¡¯s determination for this female. Little did they know that the reason Charlie hadn¡¯t been here during this time was that he was increasing the number of beastmen sent to repair the damage caused by the fire in the orchard, then stockpiling food as part of the pre-war preparations. Jessie¡¯s words didn¡¯t make Harry feel relaxed. After Jessie left with the others, Harry left the territory secretly. He thought of an idea. That afternoon, an unprecedented great chaos broke out in the elephant race in the City of Beastmen. because the elephant race¡¯s leader had lost his calf! And Harry was in the midst of bringing the captured elephant calf to the lion tribe¡¯s territory. At night. In the lion tribe¡¯s territory. While Qiao Mo was half-asleep, someone picked her up. Her eyelids were fighting and before she could open them completely, she was already immersed in cold water. The cold went right down to her bones and her heart rose! Qiao Mo came out from the surface of the water with a cry, her entire body naked. It was because Charlie had cut her clothes earlier and then he went off to attend the celebration party. As the spoils of war from this celebration party, Qiao Mo curled up in the room and wrapped herself in a piece of tattered animal skin. She then fell asleep somehow. Charlie, who had finished attending the celebratory party, had drunk some wine and then carried Qiao Mo into the water. The lion race liked to be clean. Charlie¡¯s cave had a small cave with a pool inside. Charlie looked at Qiao Mo, whose head came out of the pool, and his eyes darkened. ¡°I forgot to ask you last time. Do you like human or beast form?¡± Qiao Mo was a little stunned. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Charlie suddenly looked a little reserved. ¡°I¡¯m asking what form you like to mate in.¡± Qiao Mo looked at this guy. He had been so overbearing just now. Why was he suddenly shy now? Qiao Mo said, ¡°I don¡¯t like either form. I don¡¯t like mating.¡± Charlie frowned in confusion. ¡°You don¡¯t like to mate? I heard that all female beastmen like to mate very much. I¡¯ve only heard of males who can¡¯t satisfy females but not of any females who don¡¯t like to mate.¡± Qiao Mo¡¯s face turned red. ¡°If I say I don¡¯t like it, it means that I don¡¯t like it. If you force me into it, I¡¯ll kill myself.¡± Charlie didn¡¯t take it too seriously and paddled towards Qiao Mo with his strong steps. He had never heard of any female committing suicide because of mating. This situation didn¡¯t exist in his impression, so he didn¡¯t take Qiao Mo¡¯s threat seriously. And according to his experience, even if females did not like a male, as long as the mating process satisfied her, she would accept this male!
