Xu Que, with his hands in his pockets, was so angry that he started spinning around while explaining the law: "Article 236 of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China: Whoever rapes a woman by violence, coercion or other means shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years."

Anyone who rapes a girl under the age of fourteen shall be convicted of rape and punished severely. The penalty is imprisonment for ten years or more, life imprisonment, or death…

He finished reciting in one breath, filled with righteous indignation, only to find the primitive people around him staring at him blankly.

Xu Que spread his hands, angrily grabbing a handful of air, and turned to the one who had been listening most attentively and intently, shouting, "What did I just recite?"

"I don't know! I only saw my brother's Adam's apple bobbing up and down while he was reciting, he was so handsome! I was so focused on watching that I didn't pay attention to what he was saying!"

Upon hearing what Hou said, Xu Que felt like dying! At that moment, he really wanted to find a cotton bun and smash his head against it to die!

After calming down and thinking it over carefully, my anger subsided considerably. This was a primitive society where people ate raw meat and drank blood; everyone was concerned with how to reproduce and survive. Who cared about going against a woman's will?

Besides, in most cases even women themselves don't care, so why should men care? Most of the time, when hormones are raging, they just find someone to take care of things on the spot, without even trying to avoid it.

Xu Que sighed and muttered to himself, "This can't go on! We need to establish rules on this land as soon as possible! Without rules, there can be no order!"

"So how do you usually handle this kind of situation?" Xu Que asked all the women of the Black Stone Tribe.

"Normally, if you're going out, you carry a stick with you! If you encounter danger, you can pull out the stick and fight back! If you win, great; if you lose, you'll just get beaten to a pulp!"

"Sometimes when I'm in a good mood and really want a man, I'll go out without a stick and prioritize finding someone I like or who looks handsome to help me! If I really can't find either of those, I'll lower my standards and just bump into anyone I can! Yeah! That's roughly how it is!"

He opened his mouth wide and yawned: "I've never encountered anything like this before!"

The chieftain interjected, "You are the designer and painter of our Black Stone tribe. Before the gods came, you stayed in the cave, designing clothes for everyone and creating paintings on the cave walls. You never even came out of the cave. It would be strange if we met you!"

"Ever since Xu Que arrived, you've been going out every morning to make him breakfast! But I still have to remind you! It's best to bring a stick when you go out in the morning, just in case something unexpected happens!"

Upon hearing the chief's words, Xu Que slapped his forehead three times, feeling guilty and blaming himself, saying, "Oh dear! I feel like such an idiot! Knowing full well how dangerous the primitive environment is, I still made Hou Qingchen get up so early to prepare breakfast for me! If anything were to happen to her, I really don't know how I would survive!"

"It was my own choice to go, not yours to make me go! You don't need to blame yourself so much! I'm perfectly fine! Besides, I was afraid you'd worry, so I didn't go anywhere too far from the cave!" Hou muttered like a child who had done something wrong.

Xu Que let out a long sigh of relief: "From now on! If you leave the cave, I will stay by your side and never leave your side! I will protect you well!"

"Fine! But you're so sleepy, will you be able to get up early when I leave in the morning?"

"Ugh! Compared to your safety, sleep is nothing! Even if I'm sleepy to death, I'll get up!" Xu Que said, then pulled out his boning knife and turned to walk towards Ba Han.

Xu Que slammed the gleaming boning knife into the ground and said fiercely to Ba Han, "Why did you drag that girl into the weeds? Huh? How do you want to die?"

With his bruised and swollen eyes, Ba Han glared at Xu Que with one unswollen eye: "I don't want to die! I did nothing wrong!"

"You dragged that girl into the weeds, and you're not wrong? You're really blaming yourself! I really want to slap you to death!" Xu Que pulled out the boning knife stuck in the ground, gritted his teeth, and made a fake chopping motion towards Ba Hantou.

Bahan's good eyes blinked wildly in fright at the feint, but he still insisted on the "truth": "I'm not wrong! That's how my father stole my mother! That's how my grandfather stole my grandmother! Why should you be wrong just because you say the public order and good customs of all the tribes on this land are wrong?"

Xu Que raised his eyes and looked around at all the members of the Black Stone Tribe: "Is the common sense and good custom of all the tribes in this land to indiscriminately snatch women?"

The chief nodded silently: "Yes! This is indeed the common custom of all tribes! Bahan has won the gold medal in the annual women-grabbing competition for several years! He is a well-known and respected figure!"

"He stole our Black Stone Tribe's former female designer! She's still serving the Black Goose Tribe to this day!" the chief explained to Xu Que in a serious and earnest manner.

After a three-second silence, Xu Que shouted to everyone present, "Listen up, all of you! From now on, if anyone dares to steal women from others, I will kill them all without mercy!"

"Given various reasons, we'll spare Ba Han's life this time! However, while he may be spared the death penalty, he can't escape punishment! To teach him a lesson, drag him aside and flick his genitals forty times!"

"Ha Gang!" Xu Que shouted into the Black Stone Tribe crowd.

"Yes!" A two-meter-tall, muscular man sniffed and quickly replied.

"Initiate the torture!"

"Alright!" Ha Gang sniffed again, walked up to Ba Han, grabbed his chicken's head, and swung his large, slap-like hand across the chicken's neck.

Xu Que counted from the side: "One, two, three..."

Before leaving the Black Stone Tribe after being tortured, Bahan glared fiercely at Xu Que with his good eyes!

Xu Que knew very well that this time he had made an enemy of Ba Han and his Black Goose tribe!

He held Hou's hand as they walked towards the cave, thinking of a strategy to deal with the situation.

Ba Han is a simple-minded, physically strong man. If we disregard his intellectual superiority and system assistance, and he were to fight Xu Que, Xu Que would be badly beaten!

I estimate that even five Xu Que wouldn't be a match for Ba Han!

For his own and Hou's safety in the future, Xu Que opened the original exchange shop.

The newbie discount in the store has expired. All items have returned to their original prices.

Xu Que glanced at his exchange coins and found he had a total of 1,500.

"I clearly remember buying hair ties and a mirror for Hou last time, and we've already used them all up. What's with this 1500? And there was no system notification for the exchanged currency! Could it be because the system scolded me last time when it kept popping up whether the host wanted to activate the one-way ticket for the time machine? If that's the case, then I apologize to the system! It was my fault! I was wrong!" Xu Que silently thought to himself.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing multiple system tasks! 1500 exchange coins have been credited to your account!"

"Ugh! This system is really angry!" Xu Que said, feeling quite annoyed.

He browsed through the exchange shop and found that he couldn't buy the product he urgently needed with 1500 exchange coins.

After much deliberation, I decided that since I can't afford the big items, I'll buy two bottles of bear spray first!

Xu Que spent 700 exchange coins to buy two bottles of bear spray! He gave one bottle to Hou for self-defense and kept the other for himself!
