Chapter 663: Beast World: Raising a Wife 38
Bai Mo hummed, turned over and lay in his embrace, eyes open and dazed, then felt Jin Chen's kisses growing bolder as he moved lower, making her skin tremble.
"Brother..."
Jin Chen licked his collarbone, making Bai Mo tremble slightly, "How...?"
He was about to say how Jin Chen had been especially vigorous these two days, but his words suddenly cut off, and he widened his eyes.
"Brother... are you in heat?"
Every adult male has two heat periods a year; during them, desire increases and beastial traits appear.
For example, Bai Mo suddenly noticed Jin Chen's barbs appearing; licking them made him feel increasingly strange.
Jin Chen's head grew hazy, his chin resting on his wife's neck as he lifted his gaze to her, eyes drooping, filled with deep affection and desire.
"Probably."
"Mo Mo..."
Hoarse and low, it straight to the heart.
His beast ears trembled; Bai Mo was kissed until his face flushed, his bent leg also gripped, so he could only cling to the neck for leverage.

——
The heat lasted three days, Bai Mo was worn out; finally on the fourth morning, seeing Jin Chen recovered, he could bear it no longer and kicked him away.
"Ow!"
Jin Chen rubbed his head, wry but refreshed, got up and went to the bedside to kiss his wife's lips.
"Mo Mo, are you hungry? I'll go make something tasty for you."
"I want to sleep!"
Bai Mo pushed his head away, pulled the blanket over his face, "Don't bother me again!"
Jin Chen tucked the blanket for him, face full of satisfaction, stretched lazily, and went to prepare food.
The harsh winter passed in leisurely day after day; sometimes when it brightened, the tribespeople would spontaneously come out to walk about.
This year's harsh winter left them neither hungry nor suffering from cold; every face was filled with happy smiles.
The tribespeople knew that these good days were brought by Jin Chen and Bai Mo, so they respected the couple even more.
To keep Bai Mo from getting bored, Jin Chen would also invite Du Feng and his spouse, Dayuan and his spouse, and A Zhou to come out and play when it was bright.
On the ice, they could have a great time even without any props.
Time flew, and in the blink of an eye the thawing day arrived.
The thaw is colder than snowfall, but it also means that after this comes green shoots, and the harsh winter is about to pass.
That day, Bai Mo was about to go out for some activity when he saw several sub-beast males standing at the door, looking young, each holding a basket filled with various fruits.
"Who are you......?"
Bai Mo was quite sure he had never seen these beastfolk in the tribe.
His ears perked up warily as he sized them up.
"We are the ones you treated for red spots."
A sub-beast spoke up first, feeling grateful and happy, "Don't you remember us?"
Having treated the red spots, Bai Mo exclaimed, "You've grown this big already after shifting forms?"
Indeed, upon reflection, they could already speak before the harsh winter, and once they shifted forms they looked like youths.
"We came to thank you for your treatment; these fruits are for you to eat."
"Ah... okay, thank you."
Bai Mo accepted their fruits, then suddenly realized these youngsters had already shifted forms—could a new batch be about to be born!
Yu Wu's young should also be about to be born!
"Brother, what are you doing?"
He searched around the house and finally found Jin Chen in the yard, seemingly making a tool out of wood.
Bai Mo crouched to look carefully, examined it for a while, but still couldn't tell what it was.
"After the harsh winter comes the migration of the ferocious beasts and giant beasts of the Black Forest."
Jin Chen was carving the wood, explaining, "I'm making a tool to resist the beast tide; Mo Mo, do you need anything?"
"Ah, I want to go check on Yu Wu's place; if I don't have time, I'll just go myself."
"If I have time, I'll go with you."
Jin Chen immediately clapped his hands; now, as the beast tide approaches, it's dangerous, and he dare not let his wife go out alone.
Bai Mo had prepared many things for his good friend, but when he finally arrived at Yu Wu's place laden with bundles, he discovered a youngster already running wild all over the house.
Upon seeing them approach, it shyly hid under the table, only peeking out its head to look.
Meanwhile, Yu Wu and Du Feng were huddled in the corner playing the stone chess he had given them.
Bai Mo: "……"
He and Jin Chen exchanged a glance; the latter was obviously also shocked and puzzled.
"Bai Mo! You've come!"
Yu Wu hurriedly waved him over, "Why did you bring so much stuff?"
"Haha…… it's for you; how did this youngster come out?"
"It's already time; it's worn me out terribly."
Yu Wu held a few pieces of jerky in his mouth, speaking muffled, "That herb is bitter to death."
No matter what, the arrival of new life is still cause for joy; Yu Wu and Du Feng kept the two for a meal, and also called A Zhou and a few others.
"By the way, are you going to take over?" Du Feng asked, "The other day I went to the tribal chief, and he said he and Ji Shi are already preparing the abdication ceremony."
"Although the tribal chief has descendants, the tribe has never been a hereditary system; instead, the capable rise to the top."
"Jin Chen is their foremost warrior, and he has led the tribespeople in doing so many things; having him succeed as tribal chief is exactly what the people want."
"I don't know; we'll take it step by step."
"Right now, the most important thing is the beast tide."
"Jin Chen showed the tools he had brought to Du Feng and the others; it was a weapon similar to a crossbow bolt, made of special stone and wood pieces, very nimble, and the fletching was also extremely sharp."
"In past years, our loss came from getting too close, which actually hindered us; this year it would be better to guide the beast tide from afar, attack from both sides to drive them off, and then just wait for them to leave."
"Only by doing this can we minimize casualties."
"This is good!"
"Du Feng couldn't wait to try it and liked it very much."
"Eeh!"
"The youngster also found it novel, grabbing at his father's pant leg to climb up, and Du Feng lifted him up and placed him on his shoulder."
"But anyway, you can't keep taking it step by step for much longer; I reckon their showdown will start in a couple of days."
"Hey, time really flies."
"Yu Wu propped her head with the back of her hand and said, 'Bai Mo is actually going to become the tribe's priest.'"
"Back then, under the tree, the scene of waiting for the tribal matriarch to come and take people is still vivid in my mind."
"As Du Feng had expected, the next day the tribal chief had Jin Chen and Bai Mo come to the ancestral hall."
"The already transformed Dong En was even more lively than before; seeing him enter, he tried to flop onto Jin Chen's back, but after being beaten by him he finally obeyed."
"Sister-in-law, you don't even stop Jin Ge, this is so violent…"
"After complaining, Dong En feared another beating, covered his head, and went off to play with his friends."
"Exactly! Lots of people are waiting at the ancestral hall; hurry over!"
