Chapter 628: Beast World: Raising a Wife 02

Jin Chen! You're not dead! Great! Roar!

A Zhou jumped around excitedly, shouting, "Great!"

Putting the spirit deer down, Jin Chen's huge beast paw patted A Zhou's body, "Thank you, I'm fine."

"But why did you think I died?"

He and A Zhou simultaneously shifted to human form, he put his hand on A Zhou's shoulder and asked doubtfully.

Du Feng flicked his chin at Tuoluote, "Tuoluote said that place is the Black Forest, you risked your life to catch a spirit deer."

"Oh? Really?"

Jin Chen then looked at the petrified Tuoluote, "It's strange—clearly Tuoluote told me there was a spirit deer nearby, that's why I went over."

"That's because I'm not very familiar with this place!"

Tuoluote immediately shouted to interrupt him, "I just didn't expect it to be that far!"

"Not far—it's practically at the edge of the Black Forest, I barely escaped being caught by a giant beast."

Jin Chen, who usually tolerated his good friend, unexpectedly grew angry.

Du Feng felt surprised, glancing at Jin Chen several times, but then thought his life had almost been eaten by a giant beast, so being angry was understandable.

"Ah… Tuoluote, how could you do this?"

A Zhou frowned, disapproving of his look, "The bonding ceremony is coming up soon—how could you let Jin Chen go into an uncertain situation?"

"He's fine, and he even caught a rare spirit deer."

Tuoluote gave a dry laugh, his eyes flickering as he looked at the spirit deer.

"He actually managed to catch it!"

"Let's go, it's time to head back."

Jin Chen glanced at the sky, estimating it was nearly afternoon's end, patted A Zhou and turned to leave, no longer waiting specially for Tuoluote as before.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Tuoluote tightly watched Jin Chen's back, clenching his fists.

Damn it!

After this hunt returned, Jin Chen was still the one who caught the most game, the tribe spreading word that he truly deserved the title of top warrior.

He also still gave several portions of game meat to the chief's family.

The chief was the one who had picked him up; Jin Chen always treated the chief's family as his own kin, and aside from the large collective hunts that required tribute, each time he returned from a solo hunt he would give them plenty of game.

Aside from the chief being gratified, this time he received nothing.

"Looks like the bonding ceremony is tomorrow, and from now on we'll have a family—this time I'll just keep the game for myself to eat!"

"Okay, but save these for Amu and Dong En to eat—Dong En needs to grow, so more meat is good."

Jin Chen still insisted on leaving a few hares and pheasants, knowing the chief wouldn't refuse either.

"Alright, you—go back and tidy up. Although your bonding partner… well, just don't neglect them."

The chief said this, feeling helpless.

Originally, someone like Jin Chen—hard to find a suitable female beast, yet enterprising and diligent, still a warrior of the Lion Tribe; even if he were a Sub-Beast, he should be a good match.

Yet this brat actually promised on his own to the Leopard Tribe's priest! And he even wants to marry the beast said to be ominous, Bai Mo!

"I know, Chief, I don't feel wronged."

Jin Chen's expression was serious; he truly regarded the chief as an elder family member, and he hoped Bai Mo wouldn't come later and cause a rift.

"The Leopard Tribe's priest saved me; I ought to repay the favor. I've seen Bai Mo before—he's well-behaved, not ominous, just a different fur color."

Having said that, what else could the chief say?

"Fine, fine, I shouldn't meddle too much—just live well. Having more Sub-Beasts look after you would also be good."

The chief clenched his fist and hammered it onto his shoulder, "You little brat! Not even bonded yet, and you're already speaking up for a partner!"

"Hey! Isn't this all learned from you!"

Jin Chen grinned, his handsome face showing a touch of simplicity, "Who in the tribe doesn't know the chief treats Amu the best?"

Having settled this future concern, Jin Chen bade farewell to the chief's family and hurried back to his dwelling.

This time he didn't share the obtained food with his neighbor Tuoluote's family.

Although Tuoluote, Amu, and their father were decent, he himself really made Jin Chen reluctant to show respect.

He's still busy today!

His original den wasn't messy, but it was too empty; it could naturally accommodate his beast form, so it wasn't small, yet there was nothing inside.

It was also too crude—what if his future wife disliked it?

Jin Chen observed for a while, then began to remodel.

He gathered wildflowers from the surroundings to decorate a small hole as a window, then broke a trunk, planning to use it for stools; inside there was a stone table, not large but enough for two people.

Making stools was easy, but how to smooth the log bases was difficult.

According to Jin Chen's observation and the original owner's memory, there was no sand or stone here, so they couldn't smooth the bases; everyone just sat like that.

He stood there thinking for a moment, scratched his head, then brought the finished log bases home and set them aside, planning to first make a bed and then tackle them together.

Indeed, the original owner liked to sleep in beast form, and in that spacious den there wasn't even a bed.

That night wore Jin Chen out.

0731 looked exhausted.

It yawned, its white paws scratching the ground, and applied to headquarters' Bai Ze for permission.

Although Bai Ze was still asleep, it responded to its request very quickly.

【Host, don't busy yourself—leave it to me!】

0731 obtained the permission and immediately wasn't sleepy.

Jin Chen was chopping down another tree when he heard the words and froze his action.

【Hand it over to you?】

【Pay points, gather materials, and you can get the finished product! How about that? How about that! System-made products are always quality!】

Jin Chen glanced at the wood on the ground, without hesitation.

【Yes.】

Although 0731 looked eager for points, Jin Chen couldn't fail to know it wanted to ease his burden.

But for them, saying thank you would be too formal.

Jin Chen took out the fur of a wild beast he had caught that day; this kind of beast's fur is precious, most suitable for making clothes, which are all quite prestigious.

He tore off a whole piece, placed it on the wood, and there were also several large stones.

【Make a bed, make it sturdy.】

【Good!】

A strand of light shot out from Jin Chen's brow, wrapping all the raw materials.

【Finished product made! Deducted 500 points!】

Jin Chen moved the bed back, his eyes slightly bright, speed fast and good! No matter how he rolls on it, it won't collapse!

He also brushed the cave floor and surroundings with a kind of palm oil that isolates dampness, to prevent excessive moisture inside from causing annoying rashes.

This night was enough to keep the host and the system busy.

Finally, the project was completed, and the whole cave looked brand new.

0731 was exhausted and collapsed in the space, even sleeping on Jin Chen's big sofa.

【I can't anymore, I can't anymore, making things is nice, but it's a bit costly for me…… Host good night!】

As soon as the words fell, he lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.

As soon as the words fell, they lost consciousness and fell into a deep, snoring sleep.
