Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 99

“Before, the snow didn’t slowly stop. It just suddenly ceased at a certain moment,” Lei Lu patiently explained.

Wu Xiaoyin found it magical. How amazing it would be if snow could just stop as if the pause button had been pressed! He really wished he could see it, but this year would have to wait until next year. What a pity!

Thinking about the arrival of the growth season, Wu Xiaoyin recalled his father mentioning celebrations for it. He couldn’t help but ask, “When do the celebrations start? What do they involve? How long do they last? Is it just prayers from the priest, and then we gather to eat and drink?”

Seeing Xiao Xiao babbling away, especially with him leaning against his ear, Lei Lu’s animal ears perked up. Lei Lu couldn’t help but kiss Xiao Xiao’s lips, savoring the rare moment of sweetness. Watching his startled expression, he felt reassured and continued.

It wasn’t until Xiao Xiao struggled to breathe and protested that Lei Lu let him go. He showered him with gentle kisses, creating a warm and sweet atmosphere.

The growth season quietly arrived. One day, as Wu Xiaoyin opened the door, he found that the snow had melted. He suddenly saw patches of green, covering the white of winter entirely. It was a vibrant color that instantly made people feel a sense of life.

From that day on, Wu Xiaoyin felt that time was racing forward as if it had switched from pause to fast forward, never looking back. At first, he busied himself drying the animal skins and herbs that had accumulated over cold season and cleaning the dark cave that had been untouched by sunlight. Thus began the celebrations for the growth season.

That morning before dawn, Lei Lu pulled Wu Xiaoyin from his warm bed, quickly dressing him, washing up, and having breakfast before heading to the square to wait for the priest’s prayers.

Even Xiao Kai, who usually chattered incessantly, fell quiet. Wu Xiaoyin sensed the solemn atmosphere in the air as he stood beside Lei Lu, waiting for the priest’s arrival.

The priest was dressed in a red giant sable skin. He approached the altar step by step, holding a staff. He raised the staff high, knelt on his knees, and prayed to the beast god, singing ancient hymns.

Then, the young beastmen who had just come of age began to dance to the priest’s song. The tribe chief transformed into his beast form and rushed to the altar. He let out a roar to the sky as he reached the center.

The beastmen below the altar also shifted into their beast forms and roared in unison. Wu Xiaoyin was startled by the overwhelming power of the moment. He felt scared by such a display. The intense and bloody feeling surrounding Lei Lu felt utterly different from usual.

Just as Wu Xiaoyin felt his legs weaken from fright, the beastmen transformed back into human form, playfully tossing their females into the air, catching them and initiating passionate kisses. At this moment, Wu Xiaoyin was so scared that he allowed Lei Lu to do what he wanted.

It was only when the tribe chief announced the start of a day-long celebration that Lei Lu’s eyes gradually calmed down, and his beastly instincts settled. He began to notice something unusual about Xiao Xiao in his arms. Xiao Xiao’s expression had turned dazed. Obviously, it was a result of being overwhelmed.

Lei Lu quickly held him close to comfort him. After a long while, Wu Xiaoyin finally snapped out of his stupor and met Lei Lu’s worried eyes. He sighed in relief and said, “That really scared me. I’ve never experienced anything like this before.”

“Hahaha! It’s your first time participating in the growth season celebration, of course, you will be like this. When I attended my first celebration as a child, I had ten days of nightmares. Hahaha, you’ll get used to it after a few times, but I hope you won’t have nightmares tonight!”

Only Xiao Kai was bold enough to speak so loudly. Wu Xiaoyin shot him a glare. “I’m not a little cub anymore. I don’t have nightmares. I was just startled for a moment and couldn’t gather my thoughts. I’m fine now.”

Bin looked at Xiao Xiao’s pale face. Seeing that his earlier fear had dissipated, he knew he was alright. “Let’s hurry and find a good spot. There are great shows to see tonight!”

Wu Xiaoyin’s curiosity was piqued. He asked, “What kind of show?”

Xiao Kai laughed again. “Hahaha! The males will perform courtship dances tonight. They look so funny. I can laugh for a long time every day. You should see their bare desire. They’re practically begging for females to agree to mate today so they can pair up tomorrow. But the earliest will be during the harvest season celebration.”

Wu Xiaoyin nodded in understanding. That’s right, there had been harvest celebrations last year, but he and Lei Lu had gone to the exchange day and hadn’t seen it firsthand. Maybe I would have the opportunity to see it this year?
