Chapter 8: Chapter Eight: The Agreement—Let

Ba Ke Er and Zhang Fan strolled under the noon sun, holding hands and smiling at each other. This was something Zhang Fan never dared imagine while on Earth, for in his country same‑sex love is a taboo, not approved by the public or the state! Everyone thinks only opposite‑sex love deserves blessing, so in his homeland someone like him who likes the same sex cannot leisurely walk in the sunshine with the person they like as they do now.

Zhang Fan suddenly felt he should thank the transmigration deity for bringing him to this beastman world where men can love men! Because here he met the person who makes his heart race, someone no one in his previous twenty years had ever encountered. Ba te er also felt how right it was to have chosen to save Zhang Fan back then.

The two differ in thoughts, attire, ideas, and appearance—one masculine, the other feminine—but their joined hands draw envy from many passersby. Some even tease them! Hey, here comes someone:

"Hey! Ba Ke Er, is the female you're holding the one you brought back? She's pretty—keep a tight hold on her! Don't let any other unmated male snatch her away! Hahahaha!!"

"Uncle Pa Sen, what are you saying! How could I give another brat a chance!"

Zhang Fan, unable to listen any longer, spoke up:

"Uncle Pa Sen, hello! I'm Zhang Fan."

Pa Sen, hearing that the little female beside Ba Ke Er had spoken, stopped teasing and said:

"Hello! Zhang Fan, you just returned to the tribe today; Ba Ke Er surely hasn't had time to take you around the tribe yet! Next time be sure to have him take you to the market to look around. Alright, I won't say more—I've got to rush to set up my stall at the market!"

Saying that, Pa Sen hurried off.

"So the tribe actually has a market! What do they sell there?"

Zhang Fan asked curiously.

"They have everything—pottery, animal hides, cloth, food, all sorts of things! Fan Fan, do you want to go see? But… not today; we still need to go back, tidy up and get ready, because we have to go see the chief tonight! Looks like we can only go to the market tomorrow. Perfect—I can buy you a few clothes to wear."

"Wow! They sell clothes at the market? Then I'll definitely go to the market tomorrow! Let's head back now—but why do we both have to go see the chief? Isn't it just you who should go?!"

"That's right, because the tribe has a rule: everyone who newly joins the tribe must go to the chief to register, and anyone who hasn't done so is not recognized by the tribe and cannot stay long. Fan Fan, you said you wanted to live here, didn't you? So naturally you should go register with the chief."

After hearing Ba Ke Er's words, Zhang Fan finally understood—there's even a household registration system here! He replied:

"Oh! I see. Then let's go see the chief together tonight! After we see the chief we'll go home to eat, okay?"

After hearing Zhang Fan's suggestion, Ba Ke Er disagreed—what if we come back late and Fan Fan gets hungry?!

"That won't do! We should eat first, then go see the chief; that way we can rest directly when we return."

While speaking, the two didn't notice they had walked quite far. Ba Ke Er was the first to realize, because he smelled the scent belonging to him and Zhang Fan.

Ahead was their home.
