Chapter 631: Beast Tribe World: Raising a Wife 05

Jin Chen's gaze was fervent and gentle; Bai Mo unconsciously stared for a long time.

"Jin Chen, congratulations!"

A Zhou had come over at some point; his face showed no sorrow, still as carefree as before.

With outsiders present, Bai Mo's smile slightly faded, but he still politely nodded at him.

Jin Chen also knew what had just happened, plus the original owner's memories—this was already the fourth time A Zhou had been rejected when trying to form a bond by giving gifts.

He became interested, but first he introduced Bai Mo.

"This is A Zhou, my friend."

"Hello."

Jin Chen then asked A Zhou, "What exactly is the gift you gave? It scared away so many people in a row."

"Tsk! It's because they don't understand me!"

A Zhou shouted, his energetic face full of complaint, "They despise the stones I gave!"

"But those aren't ordinary stones! When you break them open, inside are colorful stones of all kinds!"

Jin Chen: "……"

"Wait, that sounds familiar."

"Not bad, kid—this era's into stone gambling! Way ahead of its time by thousands of years!"

Bai Mo had never heard of such stone; hearing this, he was astonished—could there really be many colors inside a stone?

Jin Chen noticed his reaction, lowered his head and asked, "Do you want to see these stones?"

"Besides, they'd make nice home decorations."

Bai Mo had meant to refuse out of embarrassment, the words stuck in his throat; seeing Jin Chen really intend to do so, he followed his true feelings and nodded.

"That's easy! I'll pick out a few nice ones tomorrow and bring them to your place!"

"What's this, you're hiding it from me, right?"

Du Feng and his new contract partner Yu Wu also came over; he punched A Zhou from behind.

"Ouch!"

A Zhou staggered from the push, rubbing his shoulder and complaining, "Du Feng, you're a beastman with a partner now—can't you not be so… so… fierce!"

Yu Wu widened her eyes at Du Feng—turns out this guy is fierce!

"No!"

Du Feng immediately denied, "I'm not fierce, really—ask Jin Chen."

Jin Chen, who was chatting with his wife, slowly lifted his head: "Not fierce—just punched a wild deer to death once."

Yu Wu took a deep breath.

Du Feng couldn't stand it—exposing old wounds, huh!

"Jin Chen lives up to being our top warrior—tearing apart prey barehanded is no problem!"

Thus the surprise fell on Bai Mo.

Jin Chen frowned, looking somewhat aggrieved at his wife, eyes lowered: "Are you afraid of me?"

Like a big cat acting cute.

Bai Mo immediately shook his head, tentatively raising his hand to tug at Jin Chen's sleeve: "Not scared."

He is clearly a very good person.

Du Feng: "……"

"Dirty, really dirty!"

A Zhou: "Burp."

He rubbed his stomach, "Weird, I haven't eaten meat at noon today."

"How did I get full?"

Over here, several people chatted enthusiastically; Yu Wu and Bai Mo also exchanged a few words, and the more Bai Mo interacted with her, the stranger Yu Wu found him.

"This sub-beast may look strange, but he doesn't sound anything like Hua Wan!"

Approaching noon, the sun was already blazing high.

After Jin Chen finished reading the plot, he once thought his wife's world was one of albinism, but seeing him bask in the sun normally, he dismissed that idea.

Now it seems more like a snow leopard.

"We're home—let me show you our place."

Bai Mo was naturally eager.

Since Amu's death, the Leopard Tribe has effectively expelled him; only by settling stably in a tribe can one hope to survive the harsh winter and beast tides.

He has also heard more or less about Jin Chen, though it's all hearsay, with both praise and criticism.

But upon seeing the cave, all the negative talk collapsed on its own.

The cave before them was draped with vines bearing unknown small flowers, just covering the entrance; a faint fragrance drifted out, making one feel refreshed and delighted.

Parting the vines and stepping inside, one sees a simple stone table and a few wooden stools, but their surfaces have been polished smooth—nothing like the rough logs casually chopped for seating.

On the stone table lay bright red fruit; Bai Mo had eaten it before—it was especially sweet.

Looking further in, the walls had protruding stones bearing wild flowers, very pretty; one must lift the flower curtain to see the bed inside.

The bed is also large, covered with fluffy beast pelts, looking very comfortable.

Behind the stone table there is actually another opening.

"This opening leads to the outside side."

Jin Chen took his hand and walked over; sure enough, they exited the cave from the side, onto currently somewhat barren ground, but there was a large stone slab covered with a thick layer of cold grass.

"Now that the weather is hot, the meat we store lies beneath this stone slab; the cold grass keeps it from breeding worms."

Only after coming to this world did Jin Chen realize that there was no such thing as meat not being fresh here; as long as there were no flies or maggots, it could be eaten.

Jin Chen couldn't accept it, and didn't want to supplement extra 'protein'. Last night he discovered cold grass here; originally the beastmen of the tribe used it to tie on their bodies, so when they went out hunting they weren't so hot.

But it actually works great for storing food.

Bai Mo would be surprised every time he heard Jin Chen introduce different uses for ordinary things, but upon reflection they all made sense.

He widened his eyes, looking at Jin Chen and sincerely praising, 'You're amazing.'

Being praised by his wife, Jin Chen's brows and eyes relaxed, and he squeezed the hand he was holding, asking, 'Do you like this place?'

'I like it, this place is very beautiful.'

Using wild grasses and flowers to decorate the cave actually yields such a beautiful effect, it's simply miraculous.

'Although our home still lacks many things now, I will work hard to make your life better.'

Jin Chen made an awkward yet sincere promise, his warm palm tentatively touching the snowy white beast ears; this is a gesture only extremely intimate people can make toward a sub-beast.

But Bai Mo didn't resist; he merely lowered his eyes somewhat shyly, the warm sensation traveling from his ears to his heart.

'It's already good enough, but since you say that, I'll also strive.'

Bai Mo thought, Jin Chen had to take charge of hunting to support the family; he could do many things at home, just like when he previously lived together with Amu in the tribe, he could also do many things.

'I've never heard you call me before.'

Jin Chen suddenly seemed to recall: in his original memory, when they first met, Bai Mo seemed to have called him 'older brother'.

But that didn't seem like a partner at all.

He was still agonizing when he heard Bai Mo speak softly, his voice gentle like moonlight.

'Brother?'

It was clearly a questioning tone raised in uncertainty, yet hearing it made Jin Chen's blood boil.

He hurriedly rubbed his nose, gave a light cough, and said, 'Okay, okay, but when others are around we should just use names.'

Jin Chen said his wife was too obedient, making him somewhat unable to restrain himself!

'Okay.'

Having confirmed that Jin Chen didn't dislike it, Bai Mo's faint shyness was replaced by joy, and then he heard Jin Chen say, 'Mo Mo.'

He stared, lifted his gaze to Jin Chen's eyes, and was drawn in by the dazzling, captivating gentle light in those golden pupils.

'Mo Mo, I'm going to make food for you to eat.'
