Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 138

Wu Xiaoyin made a version of a hamburger from another world, which involved splitting a steamed bun and stuffing it with roasted meat with sauce, shredded cabbage, and fried potato strips. This combination of meat and vegetables offered a balanced nutrition and served as a hearty meal. Of course, there were also side dishes like sweet and sour spare ribs, stir-fried eggplant with sauce, vinegar-dressed cabbage, and spicy and sour shredded potatoes. Everyone ate to their heart’s content. After eating, they wiped their mouths and willingly stayed behind to clean up.

Wu Xiaoyin was carried back to the tent by Lei Lu and fell into a comfortable sleep. In this way, all the exhaustion of the day was recovered by the dinner and sleep. But Wu Xiaoyin’s lost weight couldn’t be easily regained. Lei Lu was worried as he noticed how thin Xiao Xiao had become in each day. He didn’t know what to do. After Xiao Xiao fell asleep, he sought out the priest Uncle Luo. Luo also had no solutions. Xiao Xiao’s constitution couldn’t handle exhaustion. Once he was tired, he easily lost weight. All they could do was to nurture him slowly.

Resigning to the situation, Lei Lu thought about returning to sleep with Xiao Xiao. Fortunately, they would likely reach the center of the continent by tomorrow evening. As a result, Lei Lu’s distracted mind failed to notice Lian approaching until he suddenly threw himself at him. Lei Lu was taken aback by the unexpected closeness and immediately sensed something was off. By the time he came back to his senses, he saw Lian with with a shy look, not knowing what he was thinking.

He quickly pried Lian’s arms from around his waist and frowned. He said, “I suggest you control your feelings and not have any improper thoughts. If you do, I won’t treat you like a female and might not show you any mercy. At that point, whether you can stay in the Giant Tiger Tribe is questionable.”

Lian clenched his hands, feeling insulted, and raised his voice and said, “Lei Lu, what do you mean? I just almost fell and wanted to lean on you for support. How could I have any improper thoughts?”

Then tears streamed down his face, as if Lei Lu had slandered him. He looked directly at him, trying to prove his innocence. His head was held high in a way that showcased his neck, delicate skin, and rosy lips under the moonlight.

Unfortunately, Lei Lu was oblivious to his intentions. His patience had worn thin with the stubborn female. He turned around to leave but Lian grabbed his hand.

At this moment, Lian resembled a wounded deer. He looked fragile and tragic. If one didn’t see the depth of his emotions, they might mistake him for simply innocent and hurt. But looking closer revealed his obsession and coldness.

Lian seemed to be desperate and doing anything he could do. His voice trembled as he said, “Why can’t you see my good qualities? Am I not as good as that Xiao Xiao female? Just because he’s a divine messenger or a gift from the Beast God, you treat him better?”

Lei Lu found his sharp questions irritating, especially since they questioned his feelings for Xiao Xiao. He jerked his hand away and stared at Lian in silence.

Lian’s voice grew weaker and fear started creeping in. He had never seen Lei Lu genuinely angry before. It was the first time he sensed a chilling presence.

At this moment, Kola was disturbed from his sleep, especially by the unpleasant scent of this female. Well, forgive Kola for not knowing that there was a term called “body odor” in the world. Even the females of the Giant Fox Tribe could not escape this fate. Kola burst out of the tent and roared at Lian.

Now standing at about one meter tall, Kola’s roars were losing their childishness and began to showcase the dignity of the Giant Tiger Tribe. Lian was really frightened. He froze in place as he watched the group emerge from the tent. Unable to withstand the cold stares from the Giant Tiger Tribe members, he fled toward the dark forest.

The tribe chief exchanged glances with the others. Hu Yi and Hu Er immediately understood and followed the reckless female, who was foolish enough to run off at night.

Seeing that one of the partied involved had already run far away, Lei Lu headed back to his tent. The tribe members realized that there was no more excitement. They yawned and returned to sleep.

Lei Lu entered the tent and found Xiao Xiao sleeping soundly. He felt a pang of sympathy, thinking about how exhausted he must have been not to wake from all the commotion. The weight Xiao Xiao had gained with such effort was nearly gone in just two days. Lei Lu thought about how Xiao Xiao should not be overly active before giving birth to cubs, as the only chance to restore his health was after he had his cubs. Lei Lu firmly remembered the priest’s warning.

He recalled asking the priest for a quick way to help Xiao Xiao. The priest shook his head and said there was none. But staring at Xiao Xiao’s peaceful face, he began to feel something was off within himself. It felt like a fire was burning inside him, consuming the air around him.

Lei Lu’s eyes turned red as he caught the scent of the slowly dissipating Ketan beast odor on himself. But how could he be in estrus if he hadn’t eaten any? He tore off his clothes and discovered a damp spot on behind his waist, which was gradually drying.

So that’s what it was!
