Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 100

The night soon fell. Wu Xiaoyin looked up at the stars in the night sky, realizing he had been on the Beastman Continent for a year. His former life was slowly fading away, and he was adapting more and more to this new life in the continent. Looking at Lei Lu, he felt grateful to have him by his side.

The long-awaited courtship dance began, accompanied by the cheers of the beastmen and the laughter of the females, pulling Wu Xiaoyin back into the lively bonfire activity. He noticed that the nearby beastmen had stripped off their upper garments and only wore short fur skirts. Wu Xiaoyin really wanted to ask, aren’t you cold?

Unbeknownst to him, the thought slipped out. Lei Lu had a doting look on his face as he answered, “For the sake of pursuing the female we love, what’s a little cold? Cold, hunger, bleeding, or even death cannot stop us from winning a female’s affection.”

Wu Xiaoyin looked into Lei Lu’s eyes and saw his own reflection. He found himself leaning closer to Lei Lu. For the first time, he made the first move to kiss Lei Lu’s lips, thinking how good this moment was!

At this moment, Lei Lu’s emotions could be described as boiling. Xiao Xiao was accepting him, though he was puzzled by Xiao Xiao’s sudden boldness. Xiao Xiao was usually very shy. It was simply impossible for him to do such thing in public. But who cares? He decided to relish the kiss.

Before long, Lei Lu took the lead. He gently yet assertively drew Xiao Xiao’s warmth and softness closer. It wasn’t until Xiao Kai’s laughter and Kos’s shouts brought Wu Xiaoyin back to reality that he felt his face flush deep red. He quickly pushed Lei Lu’s head away, tightened his embrace around his neck, and smiled silently. This is so good!

The entire night was filled with Xiao Kai’s teasing, along with Bin’s playful glances. Wu Xiaoyin was feeling bold and shrugged it off. He said to himself, let them look, it’s not like I’m losing anything!

However, this joy was soon interrupted by the priest’s words. On the second day of the celebrations, the priest summoned everyone to the square and announced that this hot season would be exceptionally hot, saying that it would be the hottest in a hundred years on the Beastman Continent. The continental records described how such heat could lead to rivers drying up, forests wilting, and animals dying. The upcoming harvest season would be incredibly difficult. The greatly reduced food supply could lead to an even longer and harsher cold season. This would increase the death rate among beastmen due to hunger and cold.

Wu Xiaoyin’s anxiety surged. He realized that problems needed to be solved one by one. After the meeting, he asked Lei Lu to take him to the tribe chief’s home. He wanted to discuss with tribe chief and priest what needed to be done next. It seemed that he had underestimated the situation.

Seeing the worry etched on Xiao Xiao’s face, Lei Lu quickly reassured him, “Xiao Xiao, don’t worry. I won’t let you go hungry or freeze.”

“I know, but I’m just worried. If this situation persists for one year, it’s fine, but if it goes on for several years, our chances of survival will be very low.” Wu Xiaoyin sighed deeply.

He thought he could have a pleasant and leisurely growth season, but it seemed that was not to be!

When they arrived at the tribe chief’s home, Wu Xiaoyin got straight to the point. “Uncle Kun, since everyone will be busy this coming year, we should start preparing while the situation hasn’t hit us directly yet. We need to avoid being caught off guard later.”

Kun nodded in agreement and said, “I experienced such a hot season when I was young. I still fear it when I think about it now. But…”

“But what? Is this situation even more severe than what you experienced, Uncle Kun?” Wu Xiaoyin’s expression grew more serious.

Priest Luo chuckled lightly. “Xiao Xiao, don’t worry too much. Although this hot season is the most severe in nearly a hundred years, it’s still not as harsh as the previous one. The most severe conditions described in the continental records are not about hot season but the coming cold season, when death will arrive.”

“But things are different now. Your arrival has greatly reduced the potential dangers!”

Wu Xiaoyin pondered for a moment and asked, “Is it about doors and clothing?”

The priest patted Wu Xiaoyin’s head and praised, “That’s right, Xiao Xiao. Doors and clothing can help retain warmth, so that females and cubs are no longer troubled by the harsh cold.”

Wu Xiaoyin quickly said, “In that case, let’s hurry to build the stone houses and heated beds. While the beastmen have some free time now, how about it? This way, we can better protect the females and cubs.”

Kun excitedly said, “Xiao Xiao, you lead the way. We’ll definitely support you to the fullest.”

“I’ve already drawn up the plans for the stone houses and discussed the construction with Lei Lu. He’ll take the lead, and I’ll just supervise.”

Wu Xiaoyin felt a bit proud as he thought about how he had leveled up to the role of foreman. “Once the houses and beds are built, the plants of the growth season should be maturing, and animals will return to the northern forests. This way, we won’t miss out on storing large amount of food. How about it?”
