Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 109

As a result, Wu Xiaoyin often found himself surrounded by various animals like leopards, tigers, lions, and elephants which were previously considered inedible by the beastmen. Now he skillfully used his beastmen continent version of Thirteen Spices to create all kinds of jerky, fried meat, and braised dishes.

Looking around his home, he noticed that the basement, kitchen, living room, and storage were filled with all sorts of food. Two-thirds of this bounty came from Lei Lu’s hard work, while the remaining one-third was awarded to him for his clever ideas. For this, Lei Lu felt a swell of pride. Who else could have such a capable female?

Days passed in a routine of rest for Wu Xiaoyin. Soon, the fifth month of harvest season arrived. He was initially worried about not being able to gather fruits and wild vegetables in time, but he was pleasantly surprised. Not only did Lei Lu bring back his favorite fruits and vegetables from his hunting trips, but tribe members, including females and even cubs, stealthily delivered food to his and Lei Lu’s doorstep.

Wu Xiaoyin once again felt immense gratitude for his life on the Beastman Continent. It was unlike his previous world where good deeds didn’t necessarily lead to rewards. Here, although he did all this just to repay the warmth given by the Giant Tiger Tribe, he was met with generosity. It filled his heart with joy.

So although the smile on Wu Xiaoyin’s face could often make Lei Lu fascinated, Lei Lu couldn’t shake off his worry about Xiao Xiao’s inability to gain weight.

Especially after the sudden news that the tribe chief would lead a team to the center of the continent for the exchange day. This was likely an effort to unite the tribes to overcome the harsh cold season ahead, and it meant he couldn’t participate this time because he had to take care of Xiao Xiao. He would need to ask Kos and Feng to exchange some of Xiao Xiao’s favorite honey and light gauze fabric.

As Lei Lu walked home, he caught a whiff of something delicious before he even reached the door. The thought of Wu Xiaoyin cooking against his wishes filled him with warmth but also slight anger. He was angry because Xiao Xiao always thought that he was in a good health and didn’t need to be taken care of. Although Xiao Xiao never said anything, he seemed to not take it to heart.

Entering the living room, he saw the table laid out with his favorite buns, potato stew, sauced grilled meat, and crispy fried meat. He couldn’t get angry anymore. He approached the kitchen, which was the only place that was not yet puled with food, and found Wu Xiaoyin stirring a pot. He hugged him.

“Didn’t I say to wait for me to cook when I got back?” Lei Lu rubbed his little thin back.

Sensing Lei Lu’s low mood, Wu Xiaoyin thought of how he stubbornly did not get a rest. He quickly explained, “I was worried you would be hungry after hunting and then have to cook. I didn’t want you to tire yourself out.”

With his explanation, Lei Lu couldn’t find the words to express his frustration. He simply held him close and cherished the moment.

“Let me go quickly. I think I smell something burning. My soup might be overcooked!” Wu Xiaoyin’s keen nose disrupted the tender atmosphere.

After dinner, Wu Xiaoyin, who was forced by Lei Lu to take a nap, noted that Lei Lu had returned later than usual today. He asked, “You came back a bit late today. Did something happen?”

“The tribe chief is personally leading the team for the Exchange Day this time. He wants to trade the method of making doors and beds for animal skins and herbs with other tribes at a lower price. The chief asked me if that was okay with you, and anything we get will be for you.”

As Lei Lu spoke, his breath tickled Xiao Xiao’s neck, making Xiao Xiao squirm in his embrace and unable to escape. His arms and legs were bound tightly and his head was fixed on Lei Lu’s chest. Wu Xiaoyin mumbled, “Of course, that’s fine. We’ve done similar exchanges before, even though I said it wasn’t necessary.”

“That’s a matter of principle, Xiao Xiao. The beastmen of the Giant Tiger Tribe don’t take things for free. By the way, what do you want to exchange for on the Exchange Day? Honey and light gauze fabric?” Lei Lu quickly changed the subject.

Wu Xiaoyin considered what they needed. They definitely needed honey for something sweet and light gauze fabric that wouldn’t irritate their skin. But he changed his mind and said, “Lei Lu, let’s also have the tribe chief bring the pottery jars and pottery vats the females have made for trading. They should be exchanged for a little higher price since the females worked hard to create them. Pottery is excellent for storing water and can prolong the shelf life of food. It might even become a specialty for our tribe, just like the coarse salt from the Giant Snake Tribe and light gauze fabric from the Giant Fox Tribe.”

Lei Lu thought of the towering stacks of pottery piled in the tribe’s cave. He was taken aback by Wu Xiaoyin’s rare witty words. He found it hard to believe that Xiao Xiao would make decided on such a high price, but it was indeed feasible. Their Giant Tiger Tribe could take pride in the unique pottery crafted by their females!
