Chapter 69: Making a Choice

Tang Guo rolled her eyes in her heart speechlessly.

Tonight, Bai Ye was thoroughly satisfied. Before she could fall asleep, he kissed her ear and said, “Don’t worry. I’m your male mate. I’ll never fancy another female.”

She was jealous. He was in an extremely good mood. His lips kept curling.

If not for the fact that she was so exhausted that she didn’t have any strength left, he wouldn’t have let her go. With his current abundant energy, he could fight several more times!

The little female’s stamina was not good, and the difference between her and him was too great. This was also a very important problem!

!!

When Tang Guo heard his words, she muttered, “There must be something wrong with that female’s sudden appearance. If you can still fancy her, you’re blind!”

With that, she turned over and fell asleep.

Bai Ye listened and grinned. His female was jealous. How cute!

She usually slept soundly and cleanly, but this time, she didn’t even wipe it. It was obvious that she was really tired.

Bai Ye’s heart ached. It just so happened that he was full of energy and had nowhere to vent it, so he helped her boil water, then scrubbed her with clean animal skin. In the end, he hugged her to sleep. She didn’t even lift her eyelids for a long time.

When the rainy season arrived, everyone began to hide in caves or straw houses and did not go out, except for the male beasts who still had to patrol the safety of the tribe.

Tang Guo frowned when she saw him return drenched the first day. Then she quickly made a set of rain gear from palm leaves.

Although she did not know how to knit a bamboo hat and raincoat, she had a wood-type superpower. She only needed to move her fingers to complete a set of sturdy rain gear.

Bai Ye was amazed. He put it on and went out to prance for a while. The other male beasts were envious.

She still wanted to make a pair of shoes, but Bai Ye refused. “It’s not convenient to wear that. It’ll affect my transformation. When I transform, it’ll be broken.”

Tang Guo said, “It doesn’t matter. We’ll do it when it’s broken.”

Bai Ye still disagreed. “That won’t do. You worked hard to make that. My heart will ache if you break it casually.”

However, if she had to take off her shoes before every transformation, it would be really troublesome. If she were to fight, it would take up too much time, unlike this set of clothes that was very convenient to wear.

Besides, he really wasn’t used to wearing shoes.

Seeing that he was insistent, Tang Guo gave up. Before long, many females in the tribe came to Tang Guo to learn how to make rain gear.

Bai Ye led Archie and the others on a patrol around the edge of the tribe. “Pass the word. Tell everyone to be on their guard.”

Archie and the others had just left when a thin figure appeared beside Bai Ye.

“Brother Bai Ye.”

Ximei’ eyes watered with aggrieved tears as she called out to him pitifully.

She was wet from the rain. She looked pitiful and easily aroused the male beast’s protective instincts.

Unfortunately, Bai Ye was unmoved. All the gentle patience he had possessed when facing Tang Guo had disappeared. His face was cold. When she pounced on him, he quickly retreated and kept his distance.

“Female, you haven’t chosen a male beast to bond with?”

His tone was unfriendly. It had been two days since he last spoke of this suggestion.

His face darkened completely. “I’ll give you one last day to think about it. If you don’t choose, leave this place before the cold season comes.”

Ximei paled. Her weak body swayed in the rain, making the hearts of the male beasts who were sneaking around in the distance ache.

She cried, “Brother Bai Ye, I want to choose you as my partner! Boohoo, how can you be so cruel to me!”

Bai Ye snorted. “I never said I wanted to form a bond with you. Please recognize reality.”

Then he turned and walked away. Shimei refused to give up. She pounced again.

This time, Bai Ye didn’t control himself. He exerted strength in his hand and sent her flying with a punch. Then he growled a warning.

Ximei spat out a mouthful of blood from the pain of the punch. Her body hurt, and her heart hurt even more. She cried pitifully. “Boohoo, Brother Bai Ye, how could you do this to me!”

The male beasts in the tribe came up and advised her kindly, “Our leader has already formed a contract. You have to recognize reality!”

“That’s right. The leader is very fierce. Why do you have to choose him? Don’t we have enough male beasts for you to choose from?”

Ximei couldn’t stop crying, but her eyes flashed with vicious calculation.

Tang Guo was stewing chicken. She had woken up feeling unwell today. She had wanted to make fish balls to eat, but just as she took the fish out of her space and smelled the fishy smell, she felt terrible and lost her appetite.

Hence, she decided to simply stew a chicken.

Before it was cooked, the door was pushed open from the outside. The rain had intensified again. Tang Guo didn’t hear footsteps, so she assumed Bai Ye had returned. Without looking back, she said,

“Can you eat beef? I’ll make it for you later. This chicken is mine. I’m so hungry today. I think I can eat the entire chicken alone!”
