Ch162 – Extra: Mini Elephant

Zhou Ji… was only diligent for one day and carried Xiong Ye on his back for that entire one day.

The next day, he was back to lying down again.

However, after he’d expressed himself that way, n.o.body ever looked at Xiong Ye with condemnation in their eyes ever again. As for looking down on Xiong Ye… this had never been a possibility in the first place.

At the end of the day, Xiong Ye was a Beast King. Who dared to look down on a Beast King?

After leaving the Beast G.o.d Temple, they went to pay a visit to the Giant Pig Tribe first.

Zhou Ji had originally wanted to let the people of the Giant Pig Tribe go home and stay there, but unexpectedly, they were unwilling to stay behind, and all cried and shouted to be allowed to follow him. They even said that the Big Bear Tribe didn’t need to take care of them at all and simply let them follow behind them.

Since these people wanted to follow them, then let them… Zhou Ji didn’t stop them.

After that, they went to the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe.

Information moved very slowly among the tribes, and the Rhinoceros Beast King had also arranged some things so that the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe didn’t even know what had happened at the Beast G.o.d Temple by the time they arrived in the area.

They didn’t expose their ident.i.ty and didn’t even enter the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe. They stayed in the area for a night and then left, but the Rhinoceros Beast King stayed behind––he planned to clean up the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe.

And when they left the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe…

“The Gra.s.s Tribe is over that way. Let’s go there tonight.” Zhou Ji pointed in a direction. The last time he’d come, he’d noticed that the Gra.s.s Tribe had planted a lot of vegetables. He wanted to see if they’d grown yet.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Xiong Qi answered him immediately.

At the beginning, when they first learned that Zhou Ji was the ‘Beast G.o.d’, the people of the Big Bear Tribe had found it a little difficult to adjust.

But now, it had already been half a month since they left the Beast G.o.d Temple. They could see for themselves that Zhou Ji was the same as before and hadn’t changed at all, so the people of the Big Bear Tribe gradually calmed down and were no longer afraid of Zhou Ji. However, n.o.body called him Zhou Ji anymore.

After consulting with the priests of the Beast G.o.d Temple, they finally decided on a unique form of address––Your Majesty!

Thus, Zhou Ji became His Majesty the Beast G.o.d.

Seeing that Xiong Qi had answered, Zhou Ji continued, “Arrange for someone to go over and let them know in advance that we’re coming.”

The people of the Gra.s.s Tribe were very timid. It was better to send word ahead in order to avoid scaring them.

“I’ll go!” Xiong Qi happily left to do as he was asked.

So, by the time the main group arrived, Zhou Ji found that everyone from the Gra.s.s Tribe was standing at the gate to their tribe, waiting for them to come.

As soon as the people of the Gra.s.s Tribe saw the people of the Big Bear Tribe, they called out happily, “Welcome friends!”

Xiong Qi had only told the people of the Gra.s.s Tribe that they were coming back and hadn’t told them anything about Zhou Ji being the Beast G.o.d. Because of that, the tribal chief of the Gra.s.s Tribe only had joy in his eyes and no awe when he greeted them. When he saw Zhou Ji, he even said, “Zhou Ji, your new reclining chair is really beautiful!”

Zhou Ji said, “I think so too.” The craftsmen of the Beast G.o.d Temple had some level of skill and had already learned to inlay things. There were many gems inlaid in the reclining chair, and the gems were very beautiful to look at.

“Your Big Bear Tribe is truly rich… Are the people behind you newcomers to the Big Bear Tribe?” The Gra.s.s Tribe’s tribal chief inquired.

Zhou Ji nodded.

The tribal chief of the Gra.s.s Tribe looked at these people enviously, but then he was puzzled, “Some of them look very powerful, but others look very weak. Others look rather old… Does your Big Bear Tribe accept all kinds of people?”

The high level Beast Warriors who looked powerful puffed out their chests.

The weak-looking priests: “……” They didn’t have muscles because they were busy praying every day!

Those that looked rather old… those were in fact the several Beast Kings that Zhou Ji hadn’t killed.

Back then, Zhou Ji had fought against those Beast Kings and had accidentally killed two of them, but four of them hadn’t died. He had given these four Beast Kings some basic healing and then taken them all with him.

He didn’t plan to kill them, but letting them off was impossible––these people were Beast Kings, and it wouldn’t be easy to clean up any mess if they decided to cause trouble!

Therefore, he simply decided to bring the four Beast Kings with him and then ordered them to help with some of the ch.o.r.es.

These powerful Beast Kings were really capable. Ever since he obtained these Beast Kings, Hai Feng, who had previously always been called upon by Zhou Ji to do this and that had been liberated. He could now focus on raising his child… bringing up Xi Baobei.

These Beast Kings all choked and were left speechless by the Gra.s.s Tribe’s tribal chief’s words.

“We know, Your Majesty.” The four Beast Kings all answered him, then left with tears in their eyes.

The tribal chief of the Gra.s.s Tribe was a little confused, “You guys… why are you telling the elderly to go hunting?”

The ‘elderly’ who were about to leave all staggered.

Hai Feng broke out into loud laughter when he heard this. When he started laughing, Xi Baobei who was next to him also followed suit and laughed along with him.

The tribal chief of the Gra.s.s Tribe: “……” Did something funny happen?

The Gra.s.s Tribe was very poor and could only take out a variety of vegetables to entertain Zhou Ji and the others.

As it so happened, these vegetables were all foods that Zhou Ji liked.

However, just before Zhou Ji began to cook, they could feel the earth shuddering.

The people of the Gra.s.s Tribe subconsciously wanted to escape, and in fact, the most timid among them had already begun to flee, but after a while… They suddenly realized that something wasn’t right.

The situation unfolding in front of them was very familiar!

The last time the Big Bear Tribe had come to them, Hai Feng had gone out hunting and ultimately brought back two large crocodiles. Wasn’t the noise this time very similar?

The chief of the Gra.s.s Tribe looked at the people of the Big Bear Tribe and found that they were very calm. He immediately relaxed and glanced at the person behind him, “Calm down, calm down. It should be the people of the Big Bear Tribe who are coming back from hunting! Don’t be scared.”

The people of the Gra.s.s Tribe really did calm down after their tribal chief called out these words, but they were also some who were rather dazed––previously, that Zhou Ji had only sent those four old people out to hunt… Could it be that those elderly people had brought back a big one?

Of course those four old people had caught big ones. They had also caught other things––there were so many people in the group, and they all needed to eat dinosaur meat. Zhou Ji didn’t like dinosaur meat though, so they could only go and hunt some other things after taking down a Stegosaurus.

Dinosaur eggs, birds, fish… The four Beast Kings split up the work and obtained a bit of everything.

They had been Beast Kings for a long time. Although it couldn’t be said that they’d stopped hunting completely after they had become Beast Kings, they didn’t often make a move personally. Now, though, they were hunting every day.

A giant ape holding a Stegosaurus appeared in front of the crowd, and then three more people appeared, each setting down the things they held in their hands.

That giant ape was the Ape Beast King’s animal form.

The great ape was the largest of the ape species. They were twice the height of gorillas and three times their weight. They could reach over three meters tall when standing and couldn’t even climb trees because they were too heavy.

However, there was no doubt that their combat power was much higher than that of a giant elephant or a giant rhinoceros.

Previously, he hadn’t been able to resist the temptation of the cultivation method and had fought against Xiong Ye. After that, he’d been beaten by Zhou Ji but had been fortunate enough to keep his life. Now, he helped Zhou Ji with the things he needed done every day.

Ever since they’d left the Beast G.o.d Temple, the Ape Beast King and the others had already been hunting daily for half a month. They were used to doing these things, but the people of the Gra.s.s Tribe were stunned when they saw his animal form.

The tribal chief of the Gra.s.s Tribe covered his chest with his hands and stared at the Ape Beast King and the other Beast Kings in disbelief, “So big… Why is he so big?”

“He’s a Beast King. Of course he’s big.” Hai Feng laughed gleefully.

The tribal chief of the Gra.s.s Tribe: “……”

Last time when the people of the Big Bear Tribe had come to him, Xiong Ye had said that he was the tribal chief, and the tribal chief of the Gra.s.s Tribe hadn’t believed it. Now, however…

The tribal chief of the Gra.s.s Tribe turned his head stiffly to look at Hai Feng. “He’s a Beast King, so are you also a Beast King?”

“Yes!” Hai Feng said. “I told you that before!”

The tribal chief of the Gra.s.s Tribe felt his legs go weak, and he almost knelt down on the ground. He trembled as he asked, “You… you guys… who exactly are you?”

Hai Feng continued, “We’re all from the Big Bear Tribe.”

The tribal chief of the Gra.s.s Tribe was in a daze. Was it that he knew too little of the world? The Big Bear Tribe had so many Beast Kings, but he’d never heard of them before!

The tribal chief of the Gra.s.s Tribe immediately decided that he would go and visit the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe tomorrow to obtain more news.

It had been a long time since the Beast G.o.d Sacrifice ended, and the people of the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe should have returned by now. He could also inquire about how the Beast G.o.d Sacrifice had gone.

The people of the Gra.s.s Tribe had no chance to partic.i.p.ate in the Beast G.o.d Sacrifice, but they had always yearned to go.

While the tribal chief of the Gra.s.s Tribe was still thinking about these things, Zhou Ji had already begun to cook.

What he was making today was stuffed eggplant.

He first grew some eggplants, then cut them into segments and stuffed minced meat into the middle before frying them in a pot. Afterwards, he steamed them so they would become more flavorful…

This kind of dish that was cooked in oil was obviously very fragrant.

The people of the Big Bear Tribe didn’t even blink as they watched the process, trying to learn how Zhou Ji made the food. The people of the Gra.s.s Tribe, on the other hand, were all lamenting––it was so little food, but they used so much meat and oil. How wasteful!

As for the priests of the Beast G.o.d Temple who had followed along… They all burst into tears. The Beast G.o.d was really worthy of being the Beast G.o.d. He knew too many things! Only… couldn’t His Majesty The Beast G.o.d have someone else do this work and not do it himself?

“Your Majesty, you can let me take over the job of cooking.”

“I can also do it!”

“Me too!”

……

The priests all offered themselves to do the job.

“Is the eggplant that you guys make as tasty as mine?” Zhou Ji asked.

The priests all fell silent. Definitely not!

In fact, they had barely even roasted meat in the past.

As priests, they all had servants to take care of them.

“You also know that you can’t cook it well, but you expect me to eat what you make?” Zhou Ji asked.

The priests were all ashamed of themselves. As priests, it was really too wrong for them to be unable to take good care of the Beast G.o.d.

No, they shouldn’t even mention taking care of the Beast G.o.d, as they couldn’t even take care of themselves… During the journey, they were already exhausted from all the walking and weren’t sure how much longer they could hold on for.

“As priests, you should experience more of life and come into contact with the ordinary beastmen in order to spread the Beast G.o.d’s glory.” Zhou Ji said.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” The priests immediately agreed. They felt very ashamed––they had always stayed in the Beast G.o.d Temple, living high up above others, ignoring the common people, and hadn’t properly spread the glory of the Beast G.o.d…

The priests secretly swore to themselves that they had to become qualified priests in the future!

And in order to become qualified priests, they should start with these people of the Gra.s.s Tribe!

There were about twenty priests who had followed Zhou Ji from the Beast G.o.d Temple. At this moment, they all rushed towards the people of the Gra.s.s Tribe.

The people of the Gra.s.s Tribe were a little confused at first, but very soon after, they all overwhelmed by surprise––these people were all priests!

Over twenty priests! They were actually able to see twenty priests all together!

However, this made them even more confused.

The tribal chief of the Gra.s.s Tribe finally couldn’t help but ask, “Please, can you tell us exactly what kind of tribe this Big Bear Tribe is?”

One priest piped up excitedly, “This is the Beast G.o.d’s tribe!”

The people of the Gra.s.s Tribe: The Beast G.o.d’s tribe? What was that?

That priest continued, “Yes, you all actually dared to address the Beast G.o.d directly by name. It’s really not appropriate… You must be respectful towards His Majesty the Beast G.o.d in the future…”

The tribal chief of the Gra.s.s Tribe once again covered his chest, feeling like his heart was about to jump out of his chest. “The Beast G.o.d is…?”

“Him.” The priest pointed to Zhou Ji.

“Then the others…” The tribal chief of the Gra.s.s Tribe felt that he was having trouble breathing.

“The one who caught the Stegosaurus earlier is the Ape Beast King. The one over there plucking the feathers off the birds is the Tiger Beast King. The one hulling the rice is the Bear Beast King…”

The tribal chief of the Gra.s.s Tribe fainted.

Many of the other people of the Gra.s.s Tribe also followed suit and fainted, and some of them even became white, fluffy little rabbits due to the stimulation.

Xiong Ye couldn’t resist, “How cute!”

Zhou Ji: “……” What was so cute about rabbits? Rabbits were food. This type of rabbit that couldn’t be eaten wasn’t cute at all!

Zhou Ji stuffed a piece of eggplant into Xiong Ye’s mouth. “Taste this.”

Xiong Ye immediately stopped looking at the rabbits.

“I’ll make you another egg pancake.” Zhou Ji continued.

They had dinosaur eggs today. They’d already made egg fried rice many times, so egg pancakes were a good alternative.

He added a bit of flour to a whole dinosaur egg, sprinkled some spring onion, then pan-fried it with a bit of oil…

Xiong Ye’s eyes were bright.

Everyone else couldn’t help but swallow hard––this was really too, too fragrant!

The Beast G.o.d knew so much!

Even if the others felt that it was fragrant, they all exercised strong self-restraint at this time. Only Xi Baobei came up and looked at Zhou Ji, “Beast G.o.d, I want to eat egg pancake.”

“Have your grandfather make it for you.” Zhou Ji said. This egg pancake wasn’t even enough for Xiong Ye to eat. Why would he give it to others?

Finally, regardless of whether it was the stuffed eggplant or the egg pancake, they all went into Xiong Ye’s stomach.

After Xiong Ye had eaten his fill, Zhou Ji brought him to the wooden hut he had told the craftsmen to build.

The hut wasn’t big, but the inside had been covered with animal hides, and it was obvious with a glance that it was very warm.

“Did you like that rabbit very much?” Zhou Ji asked him.

“I just think that his animal form was a little cute.” Xiong Ye said. He definitely couldn’t say that he liked that rabbit right now! Xiong Ye’s survival instincts were actually quite strong.

“Is my animal form not cute?” Zhou Ji asked.

Xiong Ye: “……” How could he say that such a huge animal form was cute? Zhou Ji’s animal form could only be described as powerful, right?

“Is it not cute like this?” Zhou Ji suddenly asked. Xiong Ye was stunned for a moment, then discovered that Zhou Ji was nowhere to be found. There was only a piece of clothing left on the ground.

“Zhou Ji?” Xiong Ye called out in surprise. He was just about to start looking for Zhou Ji when he saw a tiny elephant about the size of a palm making its way out of the clothing on the floor.

The little elephant had fur on its body, but it was all mussed up from drilling out of the clothing. He raised up his finger-sized trunk and looked at Xiong Ye, “Am I not cute?”

Xiong Ye felt that his heart was about to melt from cuteness, “Cute!!”

How could there be something so cute in this world?! Xiong Ye picked up and held the tiny elephant in his hand and kissed him several times.

Zhou Ji: “… Be careful and don’t poke yourself with my tusks!” He was a little unaccustomed to having two teeth that big…

“It’s alright!” Xiong Ye said. He couldn’t help kissing him a few more times and making Zhou Ji’s trunk curl up.

Zhou Ji: My wifey is really too enthusiastic!

He definitely needed to get his revenge… Zhou Ji said, “I’ve shown you my little elephant, so you should also let me see your little elephant.”

“You misspoke, right? Did you want to say little bear? I can’t make myself smaller.” Xiong Ye said.

Zhou Ji explained, “I didn’t misspeak. I’m talking about little elephants… In my original world, there was an animated film where a young child drew two ears next to his own ‘little brother’, and that was a little elephant…”

Zhou Ji explained it in detail and then added, “I can help you draw the elephant and then say h.e.l.lo to it?”

Xiong Ye: “……” How come Zhou Ji become like this?!

If outsiders learned that their Beast G.o.d was like this, they would definitely cry. Definitely!!!
