Chapter 42: Beast World (VI)
【I suggest you stay with the lion. 】
?
"Why?"
Chu Yun could sense that 001 didn't like Shi Cheng, but it still asked him to stay.
The cold season will arrive soon, and you won't be able to handle it alone. The temperature will plummet to -40 degrees Celsius, and the cold season will be very long. You don't have any food reserves.
What?!? Forty degrees below zero?
"But it's only summer now!"
[The weather in the Beast World is divided into hot and cold seasons. The two months in between are called the transition season. We are now in the final days of the transition season.]
"What?! This weather is the transition season now? How hot must it be during the hot season?"
[The article says around 50 degrees.]
Chu Yun wanted to cry but had no tears. He had a premonition that all the mission worlds in the future would definitely not be as difficult as this one.
So Chu Yun lived in Shi Cheng's house with peace of mind. Shi Cheng was very friendly. He cooked and sewed clothes for Chu Yun every day, and even took care of the laundry.
Chu Yun no longer wears big leaf clothes, but wears a suit made of torn and stitched animal skins.
The males here are all good at handicrafts, and sewing clothes is no problem for them. The thread they use is a thin rope made from the hair that falls off Shi Cheng's body.
He also made shoes for Chu Yun. They looked like shoes, but they were actually just thick socks padded with several layers of animal skins.
Chu Yun was very satisfied. He lived a life of being served and having food and clothes provided for him again.
To be honest, I was treated too well by those three men in my last life, which made me extremely uncomfortable with this world. Chu Yun's mood improved, and she looked more and more beautiful.
The only problem is sleeping. Chu Yun is not used to sleeping in the same bed with Shi Cheng because Shi Cheng is too restless when sleeping.
Every time Chu Yun woke up, Shi Cheng would use his hands and feet to hug Chu Yun tightly like an octopus.
And... and he could still feel Shi Cheng's... ups and downs, which was a bit embarrassing.
Chu Yun thought that the bed was too small to sleep in, and the two of them were too close, which led to such an embarrassing and blushing thing.
He suggested to Shicheng that he sleep on the floor, but Chuyun was not shameless enough to ask the owner of the cave to give up his bed and sleep on the floor himself.
Putting a few more layers on the ground should be no different from a bed.
Shi Cheng firmly disagreed. It seemed that the little female was still afraid of him.
In the end he agreed. In his eyes, the little female who was rejected by him lowered her head with an aggrieved look, and Shi Cheng couldn't help but let go.
But Shicheng said he wanted to sleep on the floor and leave the bed for Chuyun, otherwise they would sleep together.
Chu Yun didn’t know why Shi Cheng agreed and disagreed at times. He didn’t care too much. Maybe lion beastmen were just like that, fickle. As long as they could sleep separately, it was fine.
Chu Yun, who fell asleep peacefully every day, had no idea that the cunning lion climbed onto his bed after he fell asleep, and everything returned to normal after dawn.
——
Shi Cheng is very clingy and has to take Chu Yun with him every day when he goes out hunting. Chu Yun doesn't want to go out at all, and he can't help much, and he is exhausted after walking a long way.
Shi Cheng has his own plans. It is dangerous in the wild, but leaving his little female in the cave is even more dangerous.
Although he had marked his territory around the entrance of his cave, no nearby orcs could defeat him.
But there is no guarantee that stray beasts will come. Stray beasts are strong and cold-blooded, and they are not favored by females. Every day in the Beast World, there are terrible incidents of stray beasts stealing females, and the females who are captured have a miserable end.
So Chuyun must be protected at all times.
Seeing that Chu Yun was feeling lazy, Shi Cheng picked him up with one hand:
"You don't have to walk. I'll carry you there."
It was the familiar one-handed hug again. Chu Yun symbolically struggled twice: "Are you tired? Put me down..."
Shi Cheng didn't listen and ran out holding Chu Yun: "Let's go!"
In this way, Shi Cheng would take Chu Yun with him every day when he went out. Although it was called hunting, it was actually more like an outing, and the focus was on accompanying Chu Yun to learn about herbs.
He was horrified when he heard Chu Yun say that he was almost caught up and eaten by a big mosquito. The big mosquito Chu Yun described was probably a blood-sucking mosquito, which is very poisonous and will leave a deep bloody hole when it bites.
But generally, blood-sucking mosquitoes bite wild beasts, and no orcs will be bitten, because orcs will bring herbs when they go out, and there are grasses everywhere around that can repel blood-sucking mosquitoes. Even the cubs know those herbs.
Chu Yun stopped talking after hearing this. The more he spoke, the more he revealed.
Shi Cheng understood from his expression that the little female in his arms didn't know anything about these things, and this was not acceptable.
So Shicheng took Chuyun out for a walk every day, and Chuyun got to know all the flowers, trees, insects, birds and animals.
"Yunyun, wait here for a moment. I'll go pick some fruit for you."
On a steep cliff, there is a bush with many sharp thorns growing on it. Beneath the thorns, plump and juicy yellow fruits are hanging on the tree.
Chu Yun looked down and saw a turbulent river below the cliff. If he fell down accidentally, he would die.
I was really afraid that Shi Cheng would pick it. This lion was really good to his friends. Chu Yun was moved and quickly stopped him: "I won't eat it, don't pick it."
Females love to eat this yellow fruit. Every year, many males who don't know their own limitations come to pick it, and they are willing to sacrifice their lives to please the females.
He had personally witnessed an orc lose his grip and fall to his death. All he got in return was a "what a shame" from the female.
I don't know whether this sentence expresses regret for the male's life or regret for the fruit that was not picked.
From then on, Shi Cheng vowed to be a dignified male, and he would beat anyone who asked him for fruit!
But after meeting Chu Yun, he only wanted to give him the best things. Whatever other females had, his Chu Yun must have too.
He now had some understanding of the foolish male who fell. When facing the one he loved, he was afraid that he didn't give enough or that what he gave wasn't good enough.
Fortunately, he was lucky. His Chu Yun felt sorry for him and didn't let him go down to pick the fruits, but he was already three-striped, so picking these fruits was no problem for him.
Chu Yun was a picky eater. After eating the same thing twice in a row, his appetite dropped dramatically. How could they possibly become a couple with such a small appetite? Even the little one ate more than him.
These little yellow fruits are very appetizing, Chuyun will definitely like them.
Shi Cheng rubbed Chu Yun's head gently and told him not to worry: "I'm very good. Wait for me for a while and I'll be back soon."
After saying that, Shi Cheng turned back into his original form, grabbed the protruding rock and jumped down. Chu Yun had no time to stop him. He lay down, covered his eyes and looked down, his fear of heights almost coming on.
As Shi Cheng said, he was very agile. He watched as the heavy lion landed on the cliff's landing point, yet he was as light as a swallow. Soon he reached the bushes.
He came up as soon as he finished picking the fruits, and the animal skin bag was full.
Chu Yun wanted to pick up a fruit to taste but was stopped: "Go back and wash it before eating. Have you forgotten about the stomachache you had last time?"
Shi Cheng has been taking care of Chu Yun by trial and error these days. It is a disaster for him, who has lived a rough life, to meet Chu Yun, who is prone to illness.
Chu Yun had stomach cramps after drinking raw water. From that day on, Shi Cheng realized how fragile Chu Yun was. The water had to be boiled and cooled before it could be drunk.
Shi Cheng became more and more attentive, noticing every little detail in life. He would wash every piece of food he ate, use warm water for his bath, and lay at least five layers of animal skin blankets on his stone bed before he could sleep...
Chu Yun also had some strange requests, such as asking for a few boxer shorts to wear under animal skin skirts, a small wooden stick with a lot of hair on it for brushing teeth, and a large piece of animal skin at the door to block out the moonlight before going to bed.
Although Shi Cheng felt that it was useless, he still tried his best to satisfy Chu Yun. Seeing the satisfied smile on Chu Yun's face after the things were made, Shi Cheng's heart felt as sweet as if it were filled with honey.
