Chapter 646: Beast World: Raising a Wife 21

Jin Chen opened his eyes and also looked up at the bright, hanging silver moon.

"Soon," he said, even though he knew Bai Mo couldn't hear him, "we'll meet again shortly."

"Jin Chen, what are you muttering about instead of sleeping?"

A Zhou yawned and rolled over, "Hurry up and sleep, we still have to travel tomorrow."

"I'm going to sleep now."

The journey back to the tribe was longer than the way there, because they were carrying a large amount of food on the return, the bloody smell couldn't be eliminated immediately, so they couldn't take the route they came by, as that road had many troublesome beasts.

Nevertheless, they were all smiling, their steps home light and eager.

Occasionally, when they passed a clear stream, they would stop to wash off some of the food, or simply go in for a refreshing bath before coming out.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye; with Jin Chen as their leader, this hunting trip gave them a great sense of safety—no one died as in previous years, and not even anyone was seriously injured.

Of course, Tuoluote was the exception.

From that day on, his legs were as good as useless, but Jin Chen, out of kindness, let Tuoluote lie on the cart together with the dead food.

Even without dignity, Tuoluote had no strength left to struggle.

As they neared the tribe's fence, they could see many people waiting outside from afar, their sweat-soaked cheeks breaking into genuine smiles.

Jin Chen instantly spotted Bai Mo in the crowd.

His bearing was outstanding, dressed in black with white hair, his eyes shining brightly, even more dazzling than sunlight.

"Mo Mo!"

He shouted and ran toward his partner, whom he thought of day and night.

The two clung tightly, embracing with such force they wished to carve each other into bone.

"Brother..."

Bai Mo, having held back his longing for so many days, released it now; he smelled Jin Chen's familiar scent, felt the warm, solid embrace, and heard their heartbeats gradually syncing.

In his icy-blue eyes welled hot tears, his cheek lightly rubbed against Jin Chen's neck, his voice soft and tender.

"I've missed you so much."

Jin Chen felt the same longing; he stroked his back, kissed the twitching beast ears, and held him extremely tight.

"I miss Mo Mo too, especially."

Jin Chen felt that the person in his arms had become noticeably thinner again; the flesh they had painstakingly gained after forming the bond was gone.

"We've only been apart for over ten days—how did Mo Mo get thin again?"

Hearing the worried tone, Bai Mo lifted his head from the embrace, corner of his mouth slightly twitching, "No, you must be mistaken, brother."

"Tuoluote!! What happened to you!"

Suddenly, Hua Wan's sharp scream came from nearby, drawing many people's attention.

Bai Mo also looked over curiously and whispered in surprise, "What's wrong with him?"

Tuoluote on the cart lacked his usual vigor, his legs limp and angled strangely, his gaze dull and scattered, empty—except when Jin Chen's gaze fell on him, he returned a resentful look.

Jin Chen complained to his wife: "Tuoluote repeatedly tried to scheme my death; I was so angry I crippled him."

"What?!"

Bai Mo's initially sympathetic gaze instantly turned sharp, he glared at Tuoluote lying on the cart.

He then nervously felt Jin Chen's arms and front and back, asking, "Brother, are you hurt? Did he hit you?"

"No, no."

Jin Chen seized the two arms waving about on him, brought them to his lips for a kiss, "Mo Mo, don't worry, he can't beat me."

On the contrary, other tribe members unaware of the truth, seeing Tuoluote's miserable state, a few kind-hearted ones called out to Bai Mo.

"Wise Sir, will you save him?"

"Wise Sir?!"

The males of the hunting squad stared in surprise at Bai Mo.

Although they had also heard Jin Chen say many things about Bai Mo, knowing the variety of ointments and foods, they had inwardly accepted his title of Wise One, but they didn't expect the tribe to start calling him that so quickly.

"You don't know, the red spots that have plagued our tribe for years—Bai Mo cured them all! Even the seriously ill son of A Yun's family, he healed him too!"

"Yeah, yeah! Amazing—just that ointment, a few rubs and it's healed."

"Besides, Bai Mo taught us how to recognize the simplest herbs! So useful!"

The Sub-Beasts and females who had originally been chatting with their partners about longing all joined in, praising Bai Mo's brave deeds.

The hunting squad's males listened, awestruck.

Frankly, what they've learned is just a drop in the bucket!

After these past ten days, Bai Mo no longer blushed at their occasional praise.

He calmly looked at Tuoluote and Hua Wan, ignoring Hua Wan's feigned innocence that actually hid malicious intent.

"Tuoluote wanted to kill my partner; I won't treat him."

Thus the hunting squad's males told the tribe what had happened over the past ten days, also explaining the source of Tuoluote's wounds.

The Sub-Beast who had just wanted Bai Mo to save someone quickly took back his words, spitting at Tuoluote several times.

"Really ill-omened; I'd say you might as well lose those legs!"

Even the tribe's chief warrior, harmed, could only blame Tuoluote for thinking up such a thing.

"But... but Tuoluote is now like this—what are we to do with our family from now on?"

Hua Wan lay on the cart, crying sadly, tears about to fall but not quite, truly evoking pity.

Immediately several males came over to comfort him, saying they knew he was gentle and kind, no one expected such a thing, they could only blame Tuoluote's ill heart for hurting you.

"Pah, shameless."

Yu Wu rolled her eyes, seeing Du Feng also look over, she immediately pinched his face with both hands and pulled outward, "What are you looking at? Do you also feel sorry for him?"

"Ah?"

Du Feng hurriedly shook his head to deny, "I just find it strange."

It really is strange. By rights, these males used to be Tuoluote's friends, and it was only natural for them to be kinder to Hua Wan, but now that Tuoluote has encountered this, it instead looks not good at all.

The partners of those males in their households all furrowed their brows, really not knowing what to say.

Jin Chen acted when it was time to act, tapping the cart.

Hey you guys, why are you just standing there? First push the collective food into the storage cave where the group leader keeps it, come back tomorrow to divide it, and as for the food each of you caught individually, just take it home.

Also, what did I tell you guys that day? Once you've learned how to make meat tasty, go back and make it for your partners; look how long your partners have been waiting, and yet you're still going to comfort others.

As soon as he said that, the males who had been comforting Hua Wan beside her were startled, turned to look at the partners who had been waiting a while, some still holding offspring, instantly felt embarrassed, and hurried over.

Hua Wan's tears dropped, her sad expression stiffened on her face, and she was somewhat at a loss.

Yes, yes, yes, I also learned from Jin Chen how to make meat tasty; I'll go back and make it for you to eat.

Du Feng chuckled twice, then hugged Yu Wu tighter.

Mo Mo, let's go home.

Jin Chen had everything arranged, and unable to wait, he brought his wife home.
