Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 58

However, as Wu Xiaoyin was held in Lei Lu’s arms, his head was at the level of Lei Lu’s eyes, creating an impression of an adult holding a child. Wu Xiaoyin didn’t have much confidence to counter the female’s words.

Feeling the low mood of Xiao Xiao in his arms, Lei Lu leaned down and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Wu Xiaoyin replied sulkily, “Nothing, have you finished negotiating?”

Seeing Xiao Xiao pouting his lips with his cheeks puffed up, Lei Lu felt he was incredibly cute. Lei Lu gently pressed Xiao Xiao’s head against his shoulder and said, “We’re almost done. Let’s go.” With that, he intended to take Xiao Xiao to see other places.

However, the female from the Giant Wolf Tribe came after Lei Lu and kept asking, “What’s your name? You’re so small. How old are you? 15?”

Hearing this, Wu Xiaoyin couldn’t hold back any longer and responded, “I’m 20 years old, okay?” He rolled his eyes, thinking that this person really had no sense of being tactful.

The female was shocked at his words. He exclaimed with his mouth wide open, “No way? You look so small.”

Wu Xiaoyin felt a headache coming on and decided to stop talking.

Yet, the female continued relentlessly, “So what’s your name? I’m called Ah Lu.”

Hearing the question, Wu Xiaoyin replied, “I’m Wu Xiaoyin.”

Ah Lu seemed very happy by Wu Xiaoyin’s response and said, “Xiao Xiao, nice to meet you. Can I play with you?”

Although Wu Xiaoyin felt a little annoyed at being called “Xiao Xiao” by Ah Lu right away, seeing Ah Lu’s sincere eyes, he replied, “Sure. If you have time, come find us to play.”

Ah Lu got the answer he wanted and returned to the Giant Wolf Tribe’s camp, watching as Wu Xiaoyin and Lei Lu walked away slowly.

When Wu Xiaoyin passed by the Giant Tiger Tribe’s camp, he noticed that it was packed with beastmen from other tribes. Most of those who had gone out to trade, including Xiao Kai and Bin, had already returned to the camp. Wu Xiaoyin looked at Lei Lu with doubts.

Lei Lu seemed to understand what was going on, so he carried Xiao Xiao into the camp and asked Feng, who was maintaining order. “Did everyone find out about the pickled animal meat?”

Feng was busy and sweating profusely. Without looking up, he replied to the question, “Yeah, so everyone rushed over here with the intention of trading.”

Wu Xiaoyin heard this and interjected urgently, “Didn’t they say this was a tribe secret? How could others find out?”

Upon hearing Xiao Xiao’s question, Lei Lu gently stroked his cheek, but Xiao Xiao shot him a sideways glance. In Lei Lu’s view, it was a gesture similar to a flirtatious glance that made his heart race. While eating some soft tofu, he explained, “The method of making it is certainly a secret, but we can trade the excess animal meat for warm furs and precious herbs. Otherwise, how could we have brought so much pickled animal meat this time?”

Wu Xiaoyin heard this explanation and suddenly realized what Lei Lu meant. He asked, “Then why didn’t I see you bring any animal meat to trade when we arrived?”

Of course, Lei Lu wouldn’t tell Xiao Xiao that he absolutely couldn’t bear to see him wrapped in furs from other beastmen, so he replied, “We don’t need it at home. Just look at all the furs and herbs in the corner, there’s plenty, right?”

Thinking about it, Wu Xiaoyin noticed the subtle look in Lei Lu’s eyes, asking for compliments and affection. He tugged at Lei Lu’s unruly hair and said, “Lei Lu, you’re amazing. You’re such a great hunter! Are you satisfied now?”

Lei Lu cleared his throat awkwardly and said, “Xiao Xiao, let’s see if there’s anything we can help with.”
