Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 142

Since Lei Lu learned that Xiao Xiao was pregnant, he completely adhered to the priest’s advice. He didn’t allow Xiao Xiao to do anything and took a good care of him. He made sure he rested to nurture his body. Despite Lei Lu’s careful feeding, Xiao Xiao’s weight didn’t seem to increase. Instead, his belly grew day by day, showing that his weight was actually decreasing as the cub’s weight increased. The cub inside absorbed the limited nutrients meant for Xiao Xiao.

As the cub grew up day by day, Lei Lu kept Xiao Xiao confined to bed. He wanted to be by Xiao Xiao’s side all the time, for fear that he might accidentally lose more weight if he was not careful.

Wu Xiaoyin stayed in bed obediently. Seeing how hard Lei Lu worked to take care of him, he felt that he had to be good and not add to Lei Lu’s burdens. He just stayed steady and focused on taking care of himself and the cub.

However, one day, a disagreement arose between them. Wu Xiaoyin wanted to get up and walk around after a meal to aid digestion, but Lei Lu firmly opposed it. He thought, you eat after so much difficulty and then exert yourself, it’s like you didn’t eat at all!

They reached a stalemate until Wu Xiaoyin pouted in concession. But how could Lei Lu bear to see Xiao Xiao angry? So Lei Lu sat on the bed with him and gently rubbed his stomach in circles, helping with digestion. After their afternoon nap, they carried on with their cozy winter days as if nothing had happened.

Then one day, Kos entered their home, holding a bundled-up Xiao Kai who looked like a clumsy bear. As soon as Xiao Kai entered, he exclaimed, “Xiao Xiao, I need to tell you something. You must deal with that female, Le!”

Wu Xiaoyin was puzzled. It was the first time he heard that name. “Who? I’ve never heard of this name.”

Xiao Kai shrugged off his cloak and outer garment and handed them to Kos who was waiting on the side. He climbed next to Xiao Xiao and said, “He’s the one who used to follow Xin around. I didn’t realize he could be so troublesome.”

Well, the term “troublesome” had been popularized by professor Xiao Xiao, and with Xiao Kai as the spreader. The entire Giant Tiger Tribe had come to understand what it meant, almost to the point of glorifying it!

Wu Xiaoyin still hadn’t grasped the main issue. “Stop complaining and get to the point. What did Le do?”

Xiao Kai grabbed some fruit tea from the small bedside table and gulped it down to calm himself before explaining, “It was that Le. He was trying to seduce Kos while we were all supposed to be delivering animal skins and herbs to our new tribe members. I didn’t notice at first, but then Bin pulled me aside, and I saw Le practically glued to Kos.”

After finishing, Xiao Kai shot a glare at Kos, who wore an innocent expression. He was so angry that his eyes widened and his cheeks puffed up, unable to vent his frustration.

He turned to Xiao Xiao for help and asked, “Xiao Xiao, how should I teach that female a lesson? He’s being so bold, and I don’t even know what else he’s done while I wasn’t aware!”

With this thought, Xiao Kai turned fiercely to Kos and said viciously, “Did you ever spend time alone with Le?”

Kos racked his brain, tugged at his hair, and replied, “Not really alone. When it was my turn to patrol at night, I always seemed to see Le. You know it’s unsafe for females to be out alone, so I walked him home with other males. Sometimes, I ended up alone, so I had to take him home myself, but that was it.”

Xiao Kai’s anger flared after hearing this. He exclaimed at Kos, “Why didn’t you tell me this before? If I hadn’t seen it myself, would you have kept it from me?”

Koss looked confused and replied, “It was just walking a female home at night. I was doing my duty as a patroller, right, Lei Lu?”

Completely overwhelmed by Xiao Kai’s power, Kos turned to his good brother for support, but Lei Lu wasn’t much help. “I’ve never walked any other female home, whether it was day or night, so is it really that big of a deal?”

Kos felt completely isolated and helpless at the moment. He could only stand by the bed pitifully. He tried to grab Xiao Kai’s hand for support, but it was swatted away. Instead, he clutched the hem of Xiao Kai’s shirt, silently enduring Xiao Kai’s angry attack.

Wu Xiaoyin came to the rescue, “Xiao Kai, you know how thickheaded Kos is. He probably didn’t realize Le was deliberately waiting for him to walk him home. Kos just thought it was just a coincidence. Don’t be too angry!”

Xiao Kai sulked, “I know, but it’s frustrating. If I encounter Le again, I won’t let it go.”

Wu Xiaoyin shook his head in amusement. Xiao Kai was just a bit harsh with his words but had a soft heart and wouldn’t really do anything to Le. However, Wu Xiaoyin now understood that Le liked Kos, and he couldn’t quite fathom why Le had put the Ketan beast meat in Xin’s bowl.
