Song Mu was obviously a little flattered. He was not good at expressing himself, but he kept staring at Lin Qiu after hearing what he said, as if he was trying to find out whether this matter was true or not.

"Come up." Lin Qiu looked at Song Mu's ribs that were protruding due to his thinness, and just wanted to take good care of him and let him recover his former spirit as soon as possible.

While staring at her, Song Mu carefully got onto Lin Qiu's bed.

Seeing him like this, Lin Qiu felt a little sorry for him, so he took the initiative to press him down to lie down.

Song Mu was lying on the animal skin bed that belonged to Lin Qiu, staring at Lin Qiu.

"Bang, bang, bang."

Lin Qiu seemed to hear the sound of Song Mu's heart beating in his chest, and his eyes made her feel hot all over.

Lin Qiu blinked to avoid Song Mu's gaze and stood up to leave, but Song Mu held him back: "Where are you going?"

His eyes were full of panic, filled with the anxiety and uneasiness of an abandoned dog who was afraid of being abandoned again.

"I'll be back in a minute to use the toilet."

"The outhouse?" Song Mu bowed.

"Just going to pee." Lin Qiu said quickly, but Song Mu said, "I'll go with you!"

Lin Qiu choked. She didn't want a male to watch her go to the toilet.

She stretched out a finger, touched Song Mu's forehead, and pressed him back to lie down: "Don't move, I'll go by myself."

After she finished speaking, she ran out of the cave, thinking about the big cat in the cave. She quickly returned to the cave and saw Song Mu staring at the cave entrance and waiting for her.

There were some uneaten sweet fruits in the cave. Lin Qiu washed them in the stone basin next to him and started eating.

Song Mu lay quietly on the animal skin mattress, his eyes never leaving Lin Qiu.

Lin Qiu was thinking about how to make use of this sweet fruit and did not notice Song Mu's gaze.

"Xiao Qiu."

Song Mu saw her staring at the sweet fruit and thought she wanted to eat it but was reluctant to do so because it was the last one.

"What's wrong?" Song Mu asked, and Lin Qiu immediately turned his attention to him. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No," Song Mu sat up. He actually didn't need to rest anymore. "I'll go pick some sweet fruits for you."

He was not in a good condition to hunt, but he could still pick some fruits for Lin Qiu in the tribe.

Although as Ling Yun said, he is now a useless male, he cannot let his female not even get to eat a fruit.

"Is your body okay?"

"Can."

Song Mu had already stood up. His steps were steady. Although he was thin, he was not weak.

"Then can you pick some more? Well, thirty or so." Lin Qiu stretched out three fingers.

Song Mu didn't ask any more questions. Sweet fruit was not a rare thing. He could get as much as Lin Qiu wanted.

Song Mu found a hide bag and carried it out. There was a sweet fruit tree a few hundred steps away from their cave. He climbed up the tree in human form, picked more than 30 brightly colored and plump fruits for Lin Qiu, and then got down from the tree.

He happened to meet Bal who was about to go out hunting. Most of the male tigers in the tiger tribe were orange-yellow in color with black stripes, and Bal was one of them.

There was no special relationship between them. Song Mu was in a hurry to go home, so he walked past him.

Bal transformed into a human form with golden hair. He hurriedly called out to Song Mu from behind, "Song Mu, is Lin Qiu really not leaving our tribe? If she's determined to live here, has she considered looking for another male?"

Song Mu understood the meaning behind Baal's words.

There are at least six males and females in the tribe. If Lin Qiu didn't dislike the tiger orcs, there wouldn't be only two brothers.

Although Song Mu knew that this was common sense, he still didn't want to share Lin Qiu with others so early.

"No."

Song Mu replied to Bal coldly.

"Song Mu, please don't be like this. The rainy season is coming soon. When the cold season comes, how will you and Ling Yun, two males, take good care of Lin Qiu?"

Bal pursued Song Mu relentlessly. If a male couldn't even risk his dignity, why would he pursue a female?

Song Mu narrowed his eyes: "Ling Yun and I are enough, we don't need anyone else."

"You're so selfish! Song Mu, don't think you're any great just because you've mated with Lin Qiu. Females won't like you being so stingy!"

Bal shouted at Song Mu. Song Mu was a little annoyed for a moment and turned his head to stare at Bal: "That's none of your business."

"Do you want to fight?" Bal was also angered.

Song Mu placed the animal hide bag in his hand on a stone beside him and said, "Then let's give it a try."

"Oh, look at the horrible look you have now, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Song Mu was indeed the strongest male in the tribe before. Bal knew that he could not beat him, but Song Mu was so weak now and still dared to provoke him. Bal wanted to seize the opportunity to teach him a lesson!

The two men instantly transformed into beast forms, one yellow and one white, two figures intertwined together. Even though he was thin, Song Mu's skeleton was still much larger than Bal's, and they were able to fight on equal terms.

For males, the fight for females is no different from hunting. Bal's eyes turned red and he acted a little cruelly. Song Mu retaliated and showed no mercy.

The other people in the tribe were not surprised by their fighting. They were a fighting race, and a fight between males was as common as having a meal.

Ling Yun hunted an adult wild boar in the forest. Although this animal looked ugly, its meat was very good. Lin Qiu somehow changed her taste and started to like eating meat, so Ling Yun naturally wanted to satisfy her.

An adult wild boar weighs more than 400 kilograms, enough to feed the three of them for two days.

Ling Yun was very satisfied with his prey. After all, it was impossible for other males to catch such a wild boar even if they worked together, but it was easy for him.

With a little effort, he carried the wild boar on his shoulders.

Ling Yun was in a good mood and strode towards the tribe.

Who knew that when I was almost home, I saw Song Mu fighting with someone. He was covered in bruises and seemed to be losing.

Ling Yun felt ashamed and simply couldn't bear to watch it.

He originally wanted to go around, but then he thought that Lin Qiu would definitely feel sorry for Song Mu when he saw him, so Ling Yun stopped. He waited until the two tigers finished fighting and both were injured, then he stepped forward, grabbed the tiger skin on the back of Song Mu's neck, and dragged him back home.

Lin Qiu only heard someone fighting at the door of his house, but he didn't expect it to be Song Mu. After all, Song Mu was in good health, so why would he fight with others just for picking some fruit?

Who knew that when Ling Yun came back, he was carrying a huge wild boar on one shoulder and dragging the wounded Song Mu in the other hand. As soon as he came back, he threw everything on both sides into the cave entrance.

"This should be the sweet fruit he picked for you." Ling Yun just handed the animal skin bag to Lin Qiu.

Lin Qiu was terrified and ran towards Song Mu: "Who did he fight with?"
