Chapter 62 Concern

News of Xu Que being brutally beaten by Ji quickly spread throughout all the primitive tribes.

Upon hearing this news, Bahan, a member of the Black Deer tribe, was overjoyed. He boasted to the other members of the tribe, who were not as high-ranking as him, "How about that? Was my prediction accurate or not?! I told you long ago that Xu Que was going to get beaten up sooner or later because he was so arrogant! Did you see that? Did you see that? He got a beating, didn't he? Hahaha! I'm truly a god-like figure!"

"Indeed! Indeed! Boss Bahan has his own unique insights into prediction! In our Black Goose Tribe, apart from the High Priest and Chief Ji, you are the most accurate at predicting things in advance! You are the role model I have always strived to be! Compared to you, Xu Que is nothing! He is nothing! All his titles are just empty boasts! He has no real strength whatsoever!"

"Absolutely true! In today's primitive society: masters wander the streets, clowns reside in halls of fame! Even someone as talented as Boss Bahan is not well-regarded! This only shows that most people are like animals, lacking their own thought and judgment! They are nothing but walking corpses, a mob!"

Bahan's vanity was satisfied by the praise from the Black Goose tribe's primitive people, and he couldn't have been happier!

“I knew it! None of the members in our tribe are brain-dead! They are all highly qualified individuals with ideas, knowledge, and independent thinking abilities! There isn’t a single rabble!” Bahan said to the other tribe members who had flattered him.

“But there’s one question I still can’t figure out!” Bahan scratched his head in confusion and said to the tribal member who had just flattered him.

"What's the problem? Can you tell me, Elder Bahan? I don't believe there's anything Elder Bahan can't figure out in this world," said a tribal member who was squatting on the ground, frantically picking his nose.

"Boss Bahan, please tell us! Please tell us! Let everyone hear it and broaden their horizons! Boss Bahan, please give us a chance! Please, Boss Bahan, can you give us a chance?!"

Encouraged by the members of the Black Goose tribe, Bahan finally mustered the courage to voice the confusion that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

"Alright! Since everyone likes to hear this so much, I'll tell you! It's no harm to share it with everyone!" Ba Han cleared his throat, preparing to speak in a leisurely manner.

"Does everyone still remember the primitive barter system?"

“I remember! Of course I remember! At the last Primitive Barter Conference, Boss Bahan and Xu Que fought in front of all the tribe members! I remember you were defeated by Xu Que! I think Xu Que definitely cheated.”

"Actually, if Xu Que were to rely on strength against Boss Ba Han, he would be far inferior! Last time when Xu Que fought Boss Ba Han, I don't know what kind of magical object he used, but he just sprayed it lightly twice in front of your eyes, and you covered your eyes and fell to the ground rolling around! The main reason he was able to easily defeat you that time was because he had that magical device in his hand that could spray mist!"

"Indeed! Indeed! If it weren't for that mysterious bottle-shaped item Xu Que had last time, he would probably have lost miserably!"

"I still can't figure out what that thing he's holding is, or how it can be so powerful," Bahan said to the Black Goose tribe members around him, puzzled.

The members of the Black Goose tribe shook their heads, not understanding what the bottle-shaped object in Xu Que's hand was.

"There's one more thing I don't understand! Back then at the primitive tribe's barter conference, he could easily take me down! How come he got beaten up by Thistle, who's even weaker than me, this time? Did he forget to bring that spray? Or is there something else going on?" Bahan casually shrugged and said to his good buddy, the primitive man, who was right next to him.

"Maybe! Or maybe he just ran out of that spray bottle!"

On the Black Deer tribe's side, Xu Que handed the tools for drilling holes in the wood to Ha Gang.

Ha Gang would take his drilling tools and drill holes directly in the freshly felled trees in the primeval forest before transporting them back and putting them together.

This allows them to be directly assembled to form the walls of a wooden house!

Hou was taking good care of Xu Que, asking him every three to five minutes, "Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"

At this moment, Xu Que didn't find her yelling at him annoying at all. On the contrary, he felt that her behavior was a sign of love for him, which made him feel very sweet and happy.

After a day and a night of rest, Xu Que's bruises from being beaten by Ji had slightly improved!

Hou took the makeshift "towel" to the spot in the cave where the wooden thermos was placed, soaked it completely with hot water, and then let it cool in the air for a while. Once the temperature of the "towel" was warm enough to be comfortable on the skin without burning it, Hou gently applied the towel, which he had worn for a long time, to the injured area on Xu Que's waist.

Xu Que only felt a stinging and itchy sensation in the area where the hot towel was applied! Eventually, it developed into a persistent, intensely itchy feeling!

Hou would apply a hot towel to Xu Que every half hour, and then apply a cold towel every half hour. They would continue to alternate between hot and cold compresses.

After a few hours, the effect was quite obvious!

Hou busied himself, applying hot and cold towels to every single scar on Xu Que's body, regardless of their size or shape.

"Don't apply it anymore! These things will heal on their own in a couple of days! Don't overwork yourself! Actually, don't worry too much about my little injury! It'll be fine on its own in a couple of days!"

Hou nodded very seriously: "Okay! I understand!" Although he said he understood, he still applied a hot towel to Xu Que about every five minutes.

Xu Que was quite touched! Since Hou was so persistent, he decided to keep quiet, close his eyes, and simply enjoy the girl's care.

In a sense, Ji's love for Hou once surpassed Xu Que's love for Hou. But his mistake was that it was all one-sided! Everything he did for Hou, he felt was such deep love! But Hou saw it as disgusting! Because Hou didn't like him at all!

Therefore, the order in which people appear in a relationship is very important; too early or too late won't work. The person who gets drunk with you is destined not to take you home, so let the right person appear a little later. You'll be mature enough, and I'll be gentle enough. As long as the right person is you in the end, it doesn't matter if it's a little later.

Hou felt that Xu Que was the right person she had met! The one she would love to the death. As for Ji, no matter what she did to him, he wouldn't feel anything!
