Chapter 40: Beast World (Part 4)
It was already evening when Chu Yun woke up again. He had been in a daze for the past two days. He supported himself on the stone and sat up.
?
Stone?
I rubbed my eyes and looked around. I found myself in a cave. Under me was a large, smooth rock that looked like a stone bed.
He remembered that he had a fever and went out with Abu to find food, and then... he couldn't remember clearly.
【You were brought back by a lion.】
001 A timely reminder appears.
The image of a giant lion flashed through Chu Yun's mind, and he remembered completely that he had been frightened unconscious by a lion.
"...So, is 001 a wild lion or an orc?"
【Orc.】
Chu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he could get involved with people.
He sat on the stone bed blankly, his feet hanging down, staring at his dirty feet in a daze. Chu Yun would become dazed whenever he was troubled by something. He had been dazed more in the past two days in this world than in the previous one.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard at the entrance of the cave. Chu Yun looked over and saw that the footsteps stopped in a restrained and reserved manner.
"You...you're awake."
In front of him was a man with beautiful golden hair, extremely delicate features, deep brown eyes and an angular face. At this moment, he was looking at Chu Yun with a frown and a troublemaker look in his eyes.
Chu Yun immediately became embarrassed and whispered thanks:
"...Thank...thank you for saving me."
This little female is so polite! The females in their tribe all look down on others and are so arrogant. They always patronize Shi Cheng and ask him to hunt and find a mate. Shi Cheng was so annoyed that he left the tribe to live on his own.
He liked the smell of the rescued female, and her face even more. He thought if the female had a bad temper, he would be willing to put up with it.
Unexpectedly, the female's temperament was so to his liking, so he chose "her". Once a male identifies his partner, he will be with her for life and will never change.
He really wanted to kiss the little female in front of him. The little female tasted good, and he had secretly licked her while she was sleeping.
But he would not show his love too much openly, as a male orc who had been cruelly abandoned told him.
Females should not be too accommodating and should be reserved. Only by making the females always have the desire to conquer and feel fresh can a relationship last.
Shi Cheng thought it made sense. Just look at the group of cowardly males in the tribe. They were beaten and scolded by the females every day, and had to serve them with great care.
Shameless males are destined not to be treated well, Shi Cheng realized.
"——You, what's your name?"
Chu Yun looked at the tall and stern lion beastman, feeling inexplicably frightened, and stammered in response:
"My name is Chu Yun..."
Chu Yun? What a nice name! Shi Cheng walked up to Chu Yun. Looking down from above, the little female seemed even smaller. He had a pair of soft, large ears hanging down, and Shi Cheng could even see his slightly trembling white eyelashes.
Chu Yun’s thighs are not even as thick as his arms. In the future... ahem... what will they do if they get married and have kids?
Shi Cheng felt that he needed to ask everything clearly and ask the young female if she had any other beastly husbands.
"My name is Shi Cheng, and I'm a three-striped lion beastman. Are there any other males in your cave?"
After hearing this, Chu Yun noticed that Shi Cheng had three lines on his arms. Abu also had animal patterns, but with only one on his chest, he was already considered a strong man in the tribe.
The three beast patterns of Shi Cheng must be very powerful.
But Chu Yun didn't understand the second sentence. He lived alone, so was it meant to be asking if he had any other friends living with him?
Chu Yun answered honestly:
"No, I'm on my own as soon as I reach adulthood."
After he finished speaking, the lion in front of him froze in a daze, then his face burst into ecstasy, and his ears fluttered with joy.
Chu Yun didn't understand why. It might be that herbivorous animals are naturally afraid of carnivores. Chu Yun always felt a little scared when he was close to Shi Cheng.
He could only look around. This cave was much more luxurious than Chu Yun's.
At least there were animal-skin blankets, a bed, and a table, so they didn't have to sit on the floor to eat. He also saw a large piece of raw meat in the corner.
Chu Yun, who hadn't eaten meat for two days, was a little greedy, but the rabbit beastmen here didn't eat meat, so he was embarrassed to ask Shi Cheng for meat.
But Chu Yun's stomach protested on his behalf and began to growl.
This movement was easily noticed by the perceptive Shi Cheng, and he came back to his senses from his ecstasy.
Chu Yun is a young female who has just reached adulthood. She has never had a beastly husband. It is really a great bargain for her to get such a beautiful and gentle female.
Shi Cheng was so happy that he almost lost his mind and almost lost his reserved personality. He promised to raise the little female to be plump and white.
Hearing that the female was hungry, he pounded his head in frustration, thinking that he had not taken good care of her. He immediately tore off the best piece of heart-protecting meat in the cave and handed it to Chu Yun.
"Here! Eat, eat more."
Chu Yun saw the bloody raw meat handed to him, covered his nose, and waved his hands quickly:
"I...I don't eat raw meat."
Do these carnivorous orcs always eat raw meat? Wouldn't they have parasites? Their stomachs are too strong!
Shi Cheng looked at the tenderest piece of meat in his hand and thought for a while. Yes, the females in the tribe did not have as strong a bite force as the males, so many males would roast the meat before feeding it to the females.
Chu Yun was a rabbit beastman, and without fangs, he definitely couldn't eat raw meat. Shi Cheng's shoulders slumped in disappointment. He couldn't take good care of Chu Yun...
Chu Yun looked at the orc in front of him with a frown and glaring eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. Did he think that he was too troublesome?
Although the cave was nice and clean, Chu Yun still wanted to leave. He was afraid that the lion would beat him to death if it got angry.
"I...I'll just go home and eat. Sorry to bother you today."
Chu Yun jumped off the stone bed after he finished speaking. His soles felt a little sore. The orcs here all walked barefoot without shoes. The thick calluses on the soles of their feet would not hurt them even if they stepped on sharp stones.
I haven't adapted yet. I've walked a lot in the past two days and the soles of my feet are already rubbed raw. It hurts every time I move.
Before he could even stand, Shi Cheng lifted him up and placed him back on the stone bed.
"Sit still and let me see."
Seeing that there were many tiny wounds on Chu Yun’s small feet, Shi Cheng felt heartbroken.
He often got a piece of skin torn off in a fight and didn't think it was a big deal, but when he saw Chu Yun's wounds, it felt like several scratches on Shi Chengxin's heart, causing him to feel a strong pain.
Chu Yun watched him rummaging through the pile of junk beside him, and he took out an unknown grass, crushed it and was about to apply it to the soles of Chu Yun's feet.
"Wait! Wait…wait a minute."
Shi Cheng paused, thinking Chu Yun was afraid of the pain from applying the herbs, so he lectured him with a stern face, full of disapproval:
"This anti-inflammatory herb will only sting a little. Your wound is more important. The pain will heal after a while."
In fact, Shi Cheng had thick skin and didn't feel any pain from the anti-inflammatory grass at all, it just made the wound itchy. But Chu Yun in front of him looked like he was afraid of the pain.
"No, no, my feet are dirty. I need to wash them before applying the herbal medicine."
The lion-beast man in front of him kept pinching and rubbing his feet. His palms were big and thick. Chu Yun didn't know why he didn't go get some water and kept pinching his feet.
