Leisurely Life in the Beast World - Chapter 200

In the Watson Tribe, beastmen from four different tribes gathered around the bonfire, dressed in thick hides, enjoying fragrant roasted meat and sweet dried fruits. The beastmen surrounded the females they liked, trying to win their favor.

Plump little cubs dressed in beast hide outfits, lovingly made by their mothers or fathers, chased and played with one another.

Ji Nuan and several young females, including Ge Ye, sat close to the fire to stay warm. Watching her tribe members revel in the festive atmosphere filled Ji Nuan’s heart with contentment.

Of course, everything would have been perfect if not for the chubby silver wolf cub nestled in her arms.

As soon as Xiu Yan returned to the tribe, he shamelessly transformed into his cub form and leaped straight into Ji Nuan’s embrace. No matter how much she shook him or tried to pry him off, he clung to her like the strongest adhesive, refusing to budge.

While the beastmen either vied for the attention of their favorite females or engaged in friendly wrestling matches, Ji Nuan had the unique honor of cradling this peculiar creature. His round belly rose and fell gently as he let out soft, contented snores.

Helplessly, Ji Nuan shook her head and adjusted her beast hide cloak to make sure the little cub stayed warm.

“Ah Nuan, did you talk to Tuan Tuan yet?” Qi Mo, her cheeks flushed, sat beside Ji Nuan and asked in a small voice.

Ji Nuan pouted and motioned for Qi Mo to look at her lap.

Confused, Qi Mo glanced down and froze. She stared wide-eyed at the plump cub sprawled across Ji Nuan’s lap. “Is that…?”

Lowering her voice to a whisper, she asked, “Is that the silver-haired ice block beast?”

As soon as she spoke, the chubby cub’s pointed ears twitched slightly.

Qi Mo was startled. Is he really that sensitive?

She hurriedly stood up and backed away in tiny, panicked steps. “Never mind! I’ll just tell him myself, hehe~”

Ji Nuan exchanged amused looks with Ge Ye, and the two burst into laughter.

“This female is truly interesting,” Ge Ye said.

Ji Nuan nodded. “She really is!”

“Beastmen, although we didn’t belong to the same tribe before, we united to eliminate the threat of the Fallen Beast for the safety of our people, females, and cubs. None of us lost our lives in the battle.

“Today, I want to formally announce: there will no longer be a Tumang Tribe or a Liangshan Tribe. From this day forward, they will officially become part of the Watson Tribe, our people!”

“Roarrr!!!”

“Hahaha, we’re part of the Watson Tribe now!”

“That means we’ll get to live in these sturdy, beautiful houses too!”

Beastmen hugged one another, celebrating joyfully around the bonfire.

Meanwhile, near the Green Mountain Tribe’s fire, a heavy silence lingered. Beastmen stole glances at their chief, Sa Ka’er, before quickly lowering their heads again.

Sa Ka’er’s expression was dark. Now, the Green Mountain Tribe was the only remaining group of outsiders living in the Watson Tribe.

“Father, weren’t you and Uncle Ge Xing the best of brothers? Why can’t the Green Mountain Tribe become official members of the Watson Tribe?” Sa Duo’er’s face was still pale, her delicate appearance drawing pity from those around her.

Sa Ka’er gently stroked her hair. “Because I made mistakes in the past…”

Lost in thought, Sa Ka’er’s face clouded as if he were reliving painful memories.

Sa Duo’er pouted and shook his arm, trying to bring him back.

But Sa Miu’er caught her hand and stopped her. “Duo’er, let Father be for now.”

“Brother, does this mean I can’t ask Xiu Yan to be my mate anymore?” Sa Duo’er’s gaze drifted toward Ji Nuan, but she didn’t spot the tall figure she longed to see.
