Chapter 640: Beast Tribe World: Keeping a Wife 14

The day they set out for the collective hunt.

Almost everyone from the tribe gathered outside the tribal fence to see them off.

Compared to the usual light packing, this time Jin Chen brought more "love's protective items," all personally prepared by Bai Mo.

Various ointments boiled down to treat scrapes, stop bleeding, and fade bruises, and even something to prevent giant beasts from smelling the scent.

Jin Chen couldn't help but marvel, his wife had truly mastered that book.

"Alright, don't worry, I'll be back in ten or so days."

He knew Bai Mo was reluctant, and he himself was no different.

"We still have plenty of food at home, the sweet potato seedlings have slowly grown, and the corn kernels can be planted; we won't run out of food."

Bai Mo's voice was soft and gentle, but upon closer listening it held a hint of choking: "I know you're the top warrior, but your safety matters more—don't go to overly dangerous places."

"Okay, I'll listen."

Jin Chen couldn't help but chuckle, leaning in to kiss his wife's cheek: "When I return in half a month, if I have any wounds, just let my dear handle them."

"That's what you said."

Bai Mo was also amused by his words, and the sorrowful parting feeling eased a bit.

"By the way, Mo Mo has pretty much finished studying that herbal medicine book these days; I left a new book by the bedside—feel free to read it if you're bored."

Seeing that the time was about right, Jin Chen finally kissed Bai Mo's lips.

"Jin Chen! Du Feng! Let's go!"

A Zhou stood not far away, arms crossed, speechless.

On the other side, Du Feng was also saying goodbye to Yu Wu.

"I specially asked Bai Mo to give me some herbal medicine; keep it on you and remember to apply it if you get hurt. And this! This is the jerky I learned to make with Bai Mo—filling and compact, don't lose it!"

"Oh, and this! This is a weapon my father made earlier—it's formidable; one thrust can snag game. You should bring it too……"

Seeing that Du Feng's load was almost catching up to Jin Chen's.

He wore a face full of black lines—painful yet sweet.

"Enough, enough, Xiao Wu; if you pack any more I won't be able to move."

"Alright."

Only then did Yu Wu reluctantly pull the basket back.

"You'd better hurry back, or I'll return to the Snake Tribe without waiting for you!"

Yu Wu used the provocation tactic to hide his worry.

Du Feng widened his eyes: "Xiao Wu! I'll be back on time!"

He hastily promised, then opened his arms.

"Want a hug……"

Before his words finished, a cool body lunged into his embrace.

"Stay safe! Hear me? Otherwise I'll definitely come back."

"Okay, okay, I promise you."

Du Feng patted his companion in his arms, pretending not to hear the choking in his voice.

"Du Feng! Jin Chen! I'm really angry!"

A Zhou roared again.

"Coming." The two responded in unison and walked forward.

Yu Wu sighed, went to find Bai Mo, and in his peripheral vision caught sight of some unusual scenes, quickly pulling himself out of sorrow.

"Hey! Bai Mo, look over there!"

Following his gaze, he saw Hua Wan saying goodbye to Tuoluote, while nearby several young males, who were clearly on good terms with him, even subtly neglected his own partner.

"What's this with Hua Wan?" Bai Mo didn't quite understand.

"You wouldn't know, but I heard from Xiao Luo Bo that Hua Wan can get along with anyone, and often visits friends with Tuoluote—he's thoughtful and kind, and those people like him a lot."

Yu Wu said this with utter disdain—those stinking males just couldn't see Hua Wan's intentions.

Fortunately, Du Feng and Jin Chen are good friends, and they could be considered to have severed ties with Tuoluote.

"Tuoluote…… isn't he angry?"

Bai Mo watched Hua Wan hug each of those males goodbye, his expression growing even stranger.

"He still thinks his social circle is getting better and better!"

Yu Wu laughed out loud.

After those males left, Hua Wan also intended to return with their partners, but they refused him.

Suddenly, the neglected Hua Wan seemed at a loss, looked around, and finally his gaze fell on Bai Mo and the two of them.

Bai Mo: "……"

He hastily averted his gaze and exchanged a glance with Yu Wu.

"We're still boiling herbs at home."

Yu Wu was very much on board: "I'll go with you!"

The two turned and left together, quickening their pace.

Hua Wan's foot, just about to step out, stopped in place.

He pouted, helpless, tears already swirling in his eye sockets.

"Why does it feel reversed…… The cursed one is Bai Mo, so why am I the one being ostracized in the Lion Tribe?"

"Is it just because he's ordinary, not as good-looking as Bai Mo, so he's being overlooked……"

Hua Wan sobbed, reaching up to wipe away his tears; no matter what, he would strive hard.

We also need to let the Lion Tribe know that he is also very suitable to be a friend.

Bai Mo brought Yu Wu back home, quickly walked a few steps and hid the book in the quilt; although they are friends, Jin Chen said that no one should see this thing.

"What are you doing?"

Yu Wu walked in and poked his head.

"Here, take something I recently made to eat."

Bai Mo took out the fried chili peppers placed on the stone table for him to eat, then went to pour out the medicine that had been simmered in the stone pot to cool.

"You know so much, Bai Mo, it's completely different from what I've heard before; even the priests of our Snake Tribe aren't as capable as you."

Yu Wu sighed, "Could it be that you're just too smart, so the Beast God treats you specially, even your appearance is so different?"

"I don't know either, but I don't care as much as I used to."

Bai Mo smiled gently and sweetly, "Jin Chen said I'm quite good-looking, nothing strange about that."

"Hmph, if you aren't the best-looking in his eyes, then you'd better watch out."

Yu Wu had an "I understand" expression.

"Just look at how Hua Wan looks at Jin Chen—you'd better be careful."

He ate several fried chili peppers in a row, then went outside and gulped down a ladle of water to relieve the spiciness.

"All right! I'll help you put the ointment in a container!"

Bai Mo seemed not to care about his words, but actually he still kept it in mind.

He could accept Hua Wan's slander as she did in her former tribe, and even not care about what happens in this tribe now, but his only bottom line now is Jin Chen.

The two of them spent a whole morning before they managed to put all the prepared ointment into the special small bamboo jars made by Mo Mo.

Bai Mo gave Yu Wu several bottles, "Your family has many people; this ointment can not only treat the red spots, but is also useful for wounds."

"Okay! Thank you!"

When mentioning Du Feng's family, Yu Wu wasn't that happy, but he didn't say anything and still remained carefree.

Over the next two or three days, Bai Mo, aside from doing some chores at home, spent his time constantly reading books to absorb new knowledge.

If a perceptive person saw him, they would notice that as his knowledge and skills increased, even his gaze became clearer and more lucid.

But soon, a disaster-level disease swept through the entire tribe.
