Leisurely Life in the Beast World - Chapter 307

After a pause, Ge Xing added, “If the other side of the Rock Tribe’s territory borders another tribe, Shi Jie, do you think you’d be able to sleep peacefully at night?”

Shi Jie thought for a moment, then shook his head honestly. Not sleeping peacefully? He wouldn’t dare sleep at all.

At this moment, Xiong Dan chimed in, “But if that’s the case, your territory would be too large, which would make it harder for us to allocate land for downstream tribes.”

Ge Xing frowned slightly, continuing to rotate the roasting meat in his hand. “That’s why I came to talk it over with you. We’ve just migrated here and don’t know much about the territories in this area. We have such a good relationship—why don’t you two give me some advice?”

Off to the side, Xiu Yan raised an eyebrow. What a clever move—he had handed this tricky problem to the two native tribes with ease.

Shi Jie and Xiong Dan furrowed their brows and fell into deep thought. Meanwhile, Ge Xing leisurely roasted the sizzling, aromatic meat in his hands. He was so relaxed it might as well have been a pleasant barbecue outing, complete with whistling.

The meat in his hands sizzled and oozed oil as it cooked. Ge Xing handed the freshly roasted meat to Xiu Yan behind him, signaling with his eyes, You eat this first; I’ll keep roasting.

He picked up a new piece of raw meat from the large leaf beside him, skewered it, and continued turning it over the fire.

By the time Xiong Dan and Shi Jie looked up after their discussion, Ge Xing had already bitten into his second piece of roasted meat and was leisurely roasting a third.

Xiong Dan’s face twitched with exasperation. “Here we are, worrying about your tribe’s territory, and you’re over there feasting happily!”

Ge Xing licked the grease off his fingers sheepishly and grinned. “I trust that you two leaders wouldn’t let the Watson Tribe suffer a loss!”

After buttering them up, he handed over two sticks of sizzling, fragrant roasted meat to Xiong Dan and Shi Jie. “Haha, here, try my cooking. In our tribe, my barbecue skills are top-notch!”

Xiu Yan: …

Beastmen from Watson: …

This salt-less, seasoning-free roasted meat, and you have the nerve to call it top-notch?

Ignoring the disdainful glances from his tribe members, Ge Xing remained unfazed. If I don’t see it, it doesn’t exist.

“We just discussed…” Xiong Dan started, his mouth still full, “how about giving your tribe half the land near your walls? And wasn’t the fruit Tribe’s territory next to yours as well? You can have that too. What do you think?”

He looked cautiously at Ge Xing.

Ge Xing feigned hesitation. “If that’s the case…”

He sighed dramatically. “Alright, we’ll make do with that. After all, we need to leave some land for the smaller tribes too.”

Xiong Dan and Shi Jie exchanged relieved glances and nodded repeatedly.

The rest of the time was spent happily eating meat. Having overachieved his mission, Ge Xing was in high spirits, roasting meat for Xiong Dan and Shi Jie until they were full.

Afterward, the three beastmen sat together, their bellies stuffed and round, resting contentedly for a while. Finally, Ge Xing stood up to take his leave. “I’ll head back now. Such good news needs to be shared with the tribe to cheer them up!”

Shi Jie and Xiong Dan stood as well, escorting Ge Xing out of the tribe’s camp. After saying their goodbyes, they watched as Ge Xing’s group gradually disappeared into the distance.

“Did we give the Watson Tribe too much land?” Shi Jie turned to Xiong Dan and asked.
