Seeing Xiong Ye holding Zhou Ji over, the priest asked with concern: "Xiong Ye, how is Zhou Ji?"
Xiong Ye smiled at the priest and acted relaxed: "Grandpa Priest, Zhou Ji is much better!" Zhou Ji wasn't actually that well. He had been lying motionless, and he was worried to death.
But he couldn't show it.
Xiong Ye hugged Zhou Ji to his chest and held Zhou Ji's hand tightly.
"Should we postpone the ceremony?" The priest was a little worried. He saw Xiong Ye running to take a shower in the morning, and he thought Zhou Ji was well. Now it seems that Zhou Ji is not well yet...
Generally, people who have such an acute disease will die in a few days...
The priest didn't want to see Kumano's partner die at such a young age.
"No need." Xiong Ye said. Zhou Ji was forcing himself to get up for the partner ceremony. How could he let Zhou Ji down?
"Let's begin!" The priest sighed.
After the crystal core in Zhou Ji's body turned red, the speed of absorbing energy increased. After one morning, he had absorbed about two-tenths of the energy of the fruit.
In addition, he had accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with the energy in his body, so he could finally behave a little better, like saying a few words...
As for walking... since the priest didn't object to Kumano holding him, let him continue like this.
In fact, the priest who wanted to raise an objection said: Zhou Ji looks like he is about to die. Even though the normal partner ceremony requires two people to stand side by side, forget it now. There is also kneeling down to worship the beast god and so on. Let’s change it and let Kumano do it alone!
Although Zhou Ji didn't have the energy to control his body, he still opened his eyes, and then he saw the priest looking at him worriedly, the members of the Big Bear Tribe looking at him with ambiguous eyes, and large patches of beautiful fiery red fire flowers.
The flame flower blooms on shrubs. The flowers of this kind are very large. Now the leaves of these shrubs are blocked by the flowers and cannot be seen. It seems that only the flowers are there. It is really beautiful.
Zhou Ji had studied the flame flower plant a long time ago and didn't think it was anything special, but now that they were blooming together, it looked really nice.
Of course, now is not the time to focus on the flower.
The priest stood in front of Xiongye and Zhou Ji, wearing a long animal skin robe patched together with several pieces of animal skin, and his expression looked compassionate.
He spoke piously and slowly: "The great gods have brought us peace and happiness. Your people pray here, and may the glory of the Beast God shine upon the whole world..."
"By the almighty Beast God, Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji of the Great Bear Tribe will become partners today."
"Under the watchful eyes of the Beast God and with the blessing of the Fire Flower, they will be together forever."
…
The old priest spoke slowly, and everyone in the tribe knelt down excitedly and devoutly. Only Xiongye was still standing holding Zhou Ji, but he slowly put Zhou Ji down and let Zhou Ji stand beside him.
However, although he put Zhou Ji down, he still held Zhou Ji tightly, so that Zhou Ji could lean on him without any effort.
"Kumano, the great beast god will bless you!" the priest said to Kumano.
Xiong Ye said firmly and seriously: "Beast God, I will be with Zhou Ji for the rest of my life."
"Zhou Ji, the great Beast God will bless you!" the priest said to Zhou Ji again.
The priest said a lot before, and everyone in the tribe seemed very excited, but Zhou Ji didn't feel anything at all.
The energy around him did not change at all. There was nothing unusual about him and Kumano. The priest's stitched and slightly tattered animal skin clothes looked a little ridiculous. He did not feel that there was anything special about this ceremony.
Any modern wedding is more ceremonial than this.
The Beast God does not exist.
The partner ceremony can only be one-on-one, and I'm afraid it's just talk.
Zhou Ji watched everyone in the world die, and even after encountering such a magical thing as time travel, he remained a staunch atheist. At this moment, he once again reaffirmed his thoughts.
However, although he thought so in his heart, he was willing to show that he believed in the existence of the Beast God.
He also wanted to believe that he and Kumano would be together for the rest of their lives.
Zhou Ji smiled and said to the priest: "God of Beasts, I will be with Xiong Ye for the rest of my life."
The beast god, whose whereabouts and whatness he did not know, could not make him do anything, but he swore in his heart that as long as Kumano loved him and did not betray him, he would never betray Kumano.
The priest thought Zhou Ji would not even have the strength to speak, but he was very happy to hear him speak. He held a bunch of flaming flowers and raised them above his head: "Beast God, from today on, you are each other's partners. You will accompany each other for the rest of your lives and be happy forever."
After the priest finished speaking, Kumano and Zhou Ji knelt down.
At the same time, the people who were originally kneeling in the tribe stood up, and the children in the tribe suddenly took out a lot of bright petals and scattered them towards Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye.
While spreading the seeds, they also said blessings in unison: "I wish you good health!"
“I wish you all happiness every day!”
"Beast God bless you!"
…
The children spoke in unison, obviously after practicing. Occasionally one of them would make a mistake, look around worriedly, and then continue speaking.
The falling petals and the children's tender language made this ceremony suddenly unique.
After a while, two children brought two cups of honey water to Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji: "The Beast God will make every couple happy!"
"Thank you!" Xiongye took the cup of honey water and drank it, and wanted to feed the other cup to Zhou Ji, but suddenly realized that Zhou Ji was having difficulty eating now, so he continued what he had done before - feeding him mouth to mouth.
In fact, the tribe’s partner ceremony is very simple. Before that, after the priest finishes saying a long string of words and blesses the two people participating in the partner ceremony, the partner ceremony is over.
Whether it is the flower petals, the blessings, or the current honey water, they are all thought up by the priest with great effort because Kumano wanted a different partner ceremony.
Of course, now it looks like... it works pretty well.
When the priest saw the two people "kissing" each other, he thought that this could be added to the partner ceremony of their tribe in the future.
What a pleasing scene this is, how beautiful it looks!
The priest was very pleased.
The people in the tribe were filled with blessings. Even Xiong Bai, who had always wanted to pry Xiong Ye away, now blessed Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye from the bottom of his heart.
Zhou Ji and Kumano’s partner ceremony was so beautiful that she wanted to find a partner to be with for the rest of her life, just like Kumano. Actually, that's pretty good.
People in the tribe used to be reluctant to form partnerships, and a very important reason was that there were too many unexpected events for them.
Every year, many people die in the tribe due to accidents. If you don’t form a partner, you can immediately find another person when the person you are with dies. But after forming a partner, does that mean you can’t be with others?
In short, in such an unsafe environment, many people are unwilling to establish a stable relationship.
But now seeing what is happening with Kumano and Zhou Ji, many people are thinking about finding a partner.
Only Shi Li still had a gloomy expression.
This companion ceremony was very similar to the one he and Kumano had performed together, but it was also different - back then, there was no honey water and no kissing.
Shi Li didn't know that this situation would occur because Xiong Ye gave a lot of honey to the priest, and the priest just thought of adding a link. At this time, he just felt that it was unfair.
But soon, the resentment in his heart disappeared.
Kumano had not been very nice to him in his previous life. Now, if he and Kumano couldn't be together, then they shouldn't be together.
Compared to Kumano, the high priest's daughter is much better.
That beautiful and intelligent woman will become the next high priest in the future.
If he could be with a woman like this who was favored by the Beast God, his life would definitely be smoother.
Of course, there are some other people who are also very good, such as the youngest son of the Ape King, who is very likable.
His vision should not be limited to this tribe.
Thinking of this, Shi Li's feelings for Xiong Ye finally disappeared completely.
The ceremony was over, and people from the tribe came up to bless Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji.
"Kumano, you guys are awesome!"
"You must be happy!"
"You will definitely be able to grow old together."
…
The people in the tribe only say so many blessings, and Xiong Qi is the only one who would say, "Xiong Ye, your partner ceremony is the best partner ceremony I have ever seen. With the blessing of the Beast God, you are together, and things will definitely get better and better in the future..."
Xiong Qi started by praising the partner ceremony, and then he began to praise Zhou Ji to Xiong Ye: "You found a very good-looking partner. This is the most handsome man I have ever seen. You will definitely be happy!"
When Xiong Qi said this, everyone in the tribe looked at Zhou Ji.
Zhou Ji is indeed very good-looking, but... Zhou Ji is now being supported by Kumano and standing next to Kumano, so why does he look a little taller than Kumano?
Also, although his skin is very white, why are his arms so thick?
Something seems to be wrong...
The clothes Zhou Ji had made before were long-sleeved, covering his arms and everything, but the wedding dress he was wearing this time was sleeveless.
Although the muscles on his arms are not big, they are quite obvious, just like Kumano's.
Everyone in the tribal hunting team has this kind of physique, but the people in the tribal gathering team do not have such muscles because they cannot eat as much meat as they want on a regular basis.
Zhou Ji is quite different from the weak young man everyone imagines.
Everyone in the tribe became curious, but at this moment, Zhou Ji opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
People in the tribe: It has been confirmed, this is still the weak Zhou Ji.
Isn't he too weak? Isn't it just that Kumano was a little bit intense, he even vomited blood...
Everyone began to sympathize with Kumano. With such a partner, can Kumano be happy in the future?
When Xiong Ye saw Zhou Ji vomiting blood, he was also shocked and quickly hugged Zhou Ji.
Zhou Ji is actually fine...
Just now, his crystal core underwent another upgrade and turned from red to purple.
This change came a little suddenly, and the energy in his body became chaotic, and he finally vomited blood.
But this is not a bad thing for him... His crystal core absorbs energy faster and faster. At this rate, he will be able to absorb all the energy soon and will not delay his wedding night.
When Zhou Ji was thinking this, the priest said, "The Beast God Festival has begun."
Although Zhou Ji vomited blood, the Beast God Sacrifice would not stop just because something happened to someone.
There weren't many rules for the Beast God Sacrifice in the tribe. After the priest said this, everyone knelt down in front of him.
"Great Beast God, please listen to our voices..." the priest spoke again.
He talked a lot and asked people to offer sacrifices.
After that, he said to the people in the tribe: "The Beast God loves each of his people. You can tell us your wishes."
People in the tribe started talking about it.
Zhou Ji couldn't use his mental power recklessly, so he didn't have time to listen to what others said, but he heard Xiong Ye's words: "Beast God, please make Zhou Ji better. I am willing to give him half of my life..."
Zhou Ji's heart moved and his mental power became chaotic.
After the crystal core in his body turned purple, the speed of absorbing energy increased many times. Now it was very easy for him to suppress the energy, but at this moment, he failed to suppress it.
A lot of energy was draining out of his body.
He felt a little uncomfortable, but now not only his crystal core had changed, his body had also changed, so the rush of energy would not cause him too much pain.
On the contrary... the energy that escaped from his body invigorated everyone around him.
Some of the people in the tribe who were praying were suffering from illnesses, and suddenly they found that the pain was gone.
Some people were feeling very uncomfortable, and at this moment it seemed as if a gentle breeze was blowing through them, making them feel much more relaxed.
Some people...
Shi Li was also praying secretly: "Great Beast God, you gave me a chance to start over, you must make me stronger than before..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a little more energy in his body.
Shi Li was ecstatic for a moment, he knew that the Beast God existed!
The great Beast God has always been kind to him.
When Shi Li was happy, Zhou Ji was finally completely fine. He held Xiong Ye's hand and said, "Xiong Ye, I'm fine."
"Are you really okay?" Kumano was surprised and happy.
"It's okay." Zhou Ji smiled and squeezed Kumano's hand with quite a bit of force.
His hands were very strong, and his complexion had recovered. He looked indeed fine. Xiong Ye hugged him tightly and said, "Beast God bless you, you are fine now!"
After saying that, Kumano clasped his hands together devoutly and said, "Thank the Beast God!" The Beast God must have heard his prayers, so Zhou Ji will get better!
Zhou Ji: This really has nothing to do with the Beast God!
