Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 139

It turned out that Lian had ground the Ketan beast meat into powder and applied it to his hands, then rubbed it on Lei Lu. No wonder he hadn’t noticed the smell at first. By the time the moisture evaporated and he caught the scent, it was already too late.

However, instead of rushing to Xiao Xiao, Lei Lu sprinted to the priest’s tribe. Luo was already temperamental as a female. After the becoming the priest, he became even more irritable due to petty jealousies among the males. So when Lei Lu disturbed him for the second time tonight, his expression was beyond displeased.

As soon as he unzipped the tent, the dark figure startled him. He snapped, “You’d better have a good reason for being here, otherwise you won’t like the consequences!”

Lei Lu exhaled the pent-up frustration inside him and inhaled the cool and damp night air to calm the fire within his body. He said, “Priest, is there any way to counteract the effects of smelling the Ketan beast powder?”

Recognizing Lei Lu’s trembling voice, the priest took his hand to check his pulse and realized he had ingested the powder. He shook his head and replied, “There’s no other remedy.”

Lei Lu swallowed hard and said, “But Xiao Xiao isn’t yet an adult. I can’t touch him. Would soaking in the nearby pond for a night help?”

The priest looked at him as if he were mad and replied, “That will only make things worse. Your body will burn out. You should ask Xiao Xiao. In fact, Xiao Xiao’s body is almost fine now, but no one knows how it will react, so you must stay rational, understand?”

The priest spoke earnestly, but saw Lei Lu standing at his door without moving. Seeing that he was clearly worried about Xiao Xiao, he repeated, “Don’t worry too much. The Beast God will understand. You should just pair up during this year’s Harvest Festival, so hurry and find Xiao Xiao.”

With that, the priest pushed Lei Lu toward the tent he shared with Wu Xiaoyin. The priest woke the still-dreaming Xiao Xiao and explained the situation. Wu Xiaoyin took a deep breath and asked, “Will I die?”

Lei Lu hugged Xiao Xiao tightly and mumbled like a fool, “No, no, I won’t touch you. Xiao Xiao, I’ll wait for you to grow up.”

The priest carefully added, “This… won’t be life-threatening. But Xiao Xiao, you’re still underage after all. Even though a year is nearly enough time, your body could still be affected, possibly even worse than when you first came here. Xiao Xiao, you…”

Wu Xiaoyin sighed in relief and pretended to be casual. “Oh, as long as it’s not life-threatening, that’s good. You know, I cherish my life very much.”

Hearing Xiao Xiao’s response, the priest understood his meaning and sighed. He headed toward the tribe chief’s tent. This matter needed serious attention. This time, they could no longer overlook this female named Lian.

The entire tent fell silent except for Lei Lu’s heavy breathing. Lei Lu cleared his throat and asked, “Xiao Xiao, do you really want this?”

Wu Xiaoyin found Lei Lu’s nervousness a bit amusing. This guy wasn’t being pretentious, yet he seemed shy. “Don’t you know my answer? Why are you being so hesitant? Are you still a beastman?”

Lei Lu felt struck by Xiao Xiao’s words. Asking him if he was still a beastman was challenging his own abilities. So Lei Lu decided to show Xiao Xiao whether he can do it or not through actual actions.

Passion and instinct collided, soft whispers mingled with fierce winds, and restraint intertwined with release.

Wu Xiaoyin felt his senses heightening. Lei Lu’s heavy breathing beside his ear, the crackling bonfire outside, the rustling leaves, and the sound of water droplets falling on petals all merged into a surreal experience. It felt as if his entire being was floating, as if he did not exist, and his soul felt light.

But reality soon reminded Wu Xiaoyin that his earlier thoughts were just nonsense. He felt hot all over his body, his skin burning, and his head felt impossibly heavy.

When Wu Xiaoyin finally regained consciousness, it was the first day of the exchange event. Lei Lu stood watch by his side, afraid that something would happen to Xiao Xiao. His eyes were bloodshot, with unshaven beard. He looked very miserable.

Seeing Lei Lu in such a pitiful state, Wu Xiaoyin swallowed his harsh words and comforted him, “I’m fine now, so don’t worry.”

Tears flowed down on Lei Lu’s face and he slapped himself twice. He hugged Xiao Xiao and said again and again, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
