Chapter 172: Long Mo's Promise



"That's right, I'm not bragging, some of the young beastmen in the tribe are not as strong as me!" Hu Qiang was in a good mood and showed off his arm muscles.

Hu Min pushed him away with disgust.

"Go, take the fruit in, it will smell fishy if it is placed together with the prey."

"Okay." Hu Qiang was not bothered, and immediately carried the fruit into the house with a smile.

Hu Jiaojiao couldn't help but smile.

If this happened in modern times, her father would definitely be a wife-indulging maniac and a henpecked man.

The biggest credit for the original body being spoiled was Hu Qiang. On weekdays at home, he never let Hu Min do any work, and his barbecue skills were the best in the family.

Hu Min was taken care of by him in great detail, and day after day for so many years, he never changed.

This led Hu Min to believe that females should be pampered like this.

Hu Jiaojiao touched Hu Min's hand. She was almost forty years old, but still as tender as a little girl's hand.

"Mom, I have a question." Hu Jiaojiao approached curiously and asked in a low voice.

"Females in the tribe have many partners, why do you only have your father as your partner?"

Generally, females will start to choose new partners after giving birth to cubs, because it is too difficult for a male to take care of both the cubs and the partner.

The original body did not find a second partner only because she was too obsessed with Yingyuan and looked down on other beastmen.

But since she came to the beast world, Hu Min has only had her father as a male.

"Little girl, you're asking about your mother." Hu Min smiled and looked outside the house without any hesitation. Her kind voice was a little melancholy.

"In fact, besides your father, mother used to have a partner, but an accident happened on the way to the tribe, so he couldn't come with us."

Hu Qiang and Hu Min fled from other tribes 20 years ago. They were childhood sweethearts and had a deep relationship. After arriving in the tribe, she didn't look for a partner because she was pregnant.

"Is he dead?" Hu Jiaojiao was surprised. So, she still had a father.

"He hasn't appeared for so many years, maybe he's dead." Hu Min nodded.

Hu Qiang was afraid that she would be sad because of this, so he obeyed her in everything.

Hu Jiaojiao was silent for a while.

It was so miserable for her unlucky second father to die on the way of escape.

Judging from her mother's appearance, she must have feelings for him, which is why she didn't want to find a partner after his death.

The beast world is not safe. Tribes often attack each other to seize survival resources. If they are defeated, the lucky beastmen can still escape, but the unlucky ones can only be killed.

Their tribe is almost entirely composed of beastmen who escaped from other tribes.

Hu Jiaojiao thought secretly in her heart: It seems that we have to strengthen the defense of the tribe in the future to prevent trouble before it happens.

While talking, Hu Qiang had already put out the fruits and prepared to carry the wild boar to the river to kill it.

"Jiaojiao, Xiaomin, you guys play, I'm going to kill the prey and roast it for later. The meat of this prey is very fat."

Animals like to eat fatty meat, especially in autumn and winter, which is oily and can store fat.

Hu Qiang specially caught a fat prey.

Hearing his words, Hu Min suddenly remembered something and hurriedly called him, "Wait, you don't have to kill the prey, just leave the prey there."

Hu Qiang looked puzzled, "Who will kill it?"

"Dad, you take a rest, I'll do it." Hu Jiaojiao also hurriedly said.

She asked her parents to come for dinner, not to ask them to work.

"Jiaojiao, don't move either." Hu Min grabbed Hu Jiaojiao's hand again, not letting her touch the prey.

Now both father and daughter were a little confused.

What was she going to do?

On the stairs, Long Yao lay at the entrance, sticking out his dragon horns and looking down, his little face full of confusion.

He whispered, "Why doesn't grandma allow us to kill prey? Can we be full just by looking at the meat?"

"Xiao Wu, you should look more!"

After muttering, he lay on the ground like a scout, staring at the fat wild boar and drooling.

After looking for a long time, he turned over and touched his belly with a puzzled look, "Xiao Wu has been looking for so long, why is your stomach still so hungry..."

...

Downstairs, Hu Min took Hu Jiaojiao's hand and looked into the house, as if looking for something.

"Where is Long Mo? Let him come out, I have something to say to him."

Although Hu Jiaojiao was surprised, she still went to the backyard and called Long Mo out who was tidying up the warehouse.

Hu Qiang also stood aside and watched, wanting to know what Hu Min was going to do.

As soon as Long Mo came out, Hu Min's eyes looked him up and down like a scanner.

She pulled Hu Jiaojiao behind her, and with a protective look, she said in a stern voice:

"Our Jiaojiao has been pampered since she was a child. Before she became your partner, she had never worked. Since she followed you, she has been suffering all the time. Not only does she have to take care of the cubs, but she also has to cook for you."

"As a male, is this how you take care of your partner?"

Since she saw Hu Jiaojiao working efficiently last time, she asked about it. After Long Mo came back, it was Hu Jiaojiao who had been cooking.

How could she, who wanted to spoil Jiaojiao to the sky, bear this?

Long Mo thought that Hu Jiaojiao had been taking care of the cub alone for the past five years, and immediately responded self-replyingly, "It's my fault."

Seeing that he had no intention of shirking responsibility, Hu Min's expression eased a little.

It seems that he is not hopeless.

When Hu Jiaojiao heard this, she knew that Hu Min must have misunderstood.

"Mom." She pulled Hu Min's clothes and wanted to explain, "It's not like that, Long Mo also did a lot..."

In addition to cooking, all the big and small chores at home were taken care of by Long Mo.

"Jiaojiao, don't say anything." Hu Min interrupted Hu Jiaojiao seriously and looked at Long Mo, "My Jiaojiao is soft-hearted and easy to bully, but that doesn't mean you can bully her."

"You answer me here today, can you take good care of Jiaojiao in the future? If you don't treat her well, I will take her back. Our Jiaojiao is such a good female, there are many males in the tribe who are fighting for her!"

When Long Mo heard this, his face darkened.

Take her back?

Jiaojiao is his partner, he will not give her to any beastman!

Not even Jiaojiao's parents.

Hu Jiaojiao glanced at Long Mo's gloomy face and became even more anxious. She pulled Hu Min's hand hard to signal her not to say anything more.

Mom, this is a big villain!

You know, Long Mo is a very sensitive beast, and what he hates most is being questioned.

If he is really angered, their family will have to lie on the bed.

Although she is happy to be with her family forever, but not in this way...

Just when Hu Jiaojiao was trying to stop Hu Min from continuing, Long Mo suddenly stepped forward, took her hand, interlocked their fingers, and looked at Hu Min cautiously.

"As long as I am alive, I will definitely treat her well." Long Mo frowned, looked serious, and promised in a sonorous voice.
