Stone Age Husband Raising Journal Chapter 169 - Extra: Thousands of Years Later

Ch169 – Extra: Thousands of Years Later

In the tenth year after Zhou Ji came into this world, when he returned to the tribe, he discovered that the Beast G.o.d Temple had moved to the Big Bear Tribe.

Not only that, someone also offered him divine water… and that so-called divine water smelled like wine.

Back when he’d been on Earth, Zhou Ji hadn’t enjoyed drinking. After coming to this world, although he’d wanted wine for cooking, he’d given up on the idea because there had never been enough to eat.

In ancient times on Earth, many countries restricted winemaking because it could easily make a country short on food.

However, to his surprise, someone had made wine even when he hadn’t mentioned it.

But… this seemed to be a fruit wine?

The first wine that was ever made on Earth also seemed to be fruit wine… After all, many fruits would ferment and produce alcohol if they were left there for a long time.

“How did this divine water come about?” Zhou Ji asked.

The priest in front of him respectfully explained the causes and how it had come to be.

Zhou Ji finally understood that the appearance of this fruit wine was actually related to him.

Last time when he’d come back, he’d ripened all the fruit trees in his yard, picked them all, and then stored them in big pottery jars.

But then, there were two jars that he’d forgotten to eat.

n.o.body was allowed to enter his and Xiong Ye’s house when they were home, but he would let someone come in to look after the courtyard and house when they left.

After all, if the yard and house were left alone for a long time, the house would soon become run down.

The housekeeper would help him organize the yard and clean the house, but they wouldn’t dare to casually touch his things, so they had left the two jars of fruit alone. Finally, the two jars of fruit that were covered up turned into wine and started exuding the fragrance of alcohol.

The people of the Big Bear Tribe found it to be a rather intoxicating scent, so they made more fruit wine in the same way and called it divine water.

Many people liked the taste of alcohol and were very intoxicated with it… Zhou Ji wasn’t like that himself, but he could understand why others liked to drink.

However, it certainly couldn’t be regarded as divine water.

Zhou Ji said, “This isn’t divine water. It’s called wine. People with weak willpower will indulge in it, and only know to drink it every day. I don’t like people like that.”

The priest who’d named it ‘divine water’ was instantly full of chagrin.

Zhou Ji continued, “You can use it during celebrations or use it to make food, but you can’t get addicted to it. It will bring disaster to the people.”

Occasional drinking could be overlooked, but drunkards that drank constantly left Zhou Ji disgusted.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” That person replied.

However, Xiong Ye asked about it when he came back. “What is this smell? It’s very fragrant.”

Zhou Ji: “……” Xiong Ye did indeed have the potential to become an alcoholic…

Zhou Ji had hated drunkards before, but he felt that Xiong Ye would be quite interesting to watch if he were hugging a jug of wine in his arms and drinking.

Zhou Ji said, “This is wine. Do you want to drink it?”

Xiong Ye said, “Did you make it? I’ll try it.”

The priest had sent over a large jar of wine. Xiong Ye tried a gulp, then frowned slightly, “This tastes really strange…”

“You don’t like it?” Zhou Ji asked.

“Not exactly.” Xiong Ye replied. He drank another couple of sips.

Xiong Ye’s appet.i.te was very big now. It didn’t take him long to finish the entire jar of wine.

After that, his face turned red at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Zhou Ji suddenly thought of something––Xiong Ye… had he gotten drunk?

The alcohol content of fruit wine was very low. Xiong Ye shouldn’t have gotten drunk, right?

Zhou Ji was still thinking about this when he found that Xiong Ye’s gaze was becoming more and more confused. Not only that, Xiong Ye burped, then pounced on him…

“Zhou Ji, you look so beautiful…”

“Zhou Ji, I like it when you kiss me.”

“Zhou Ji, I’ll dance for you.”

……

The drunk Xiong Ye was especially enthusiastic and talkative. He also began to dance, his waist twisting like… Zhou Ji really wanted to do something to him right then and there.

However, Zhou Ji was unsuccessful.

Because as Xiong Ye twisted and turned, he shifted into his animal form to continue twisting.

Not only did he break their house by suddenly turning into his animal form, Zhou Ji ended up crushed by the falling debris.

But while all of this was happening, Xiong Ye was still shaking his b.u.t.t.

The huge brown bear was using so much effort to dance… Zhou Ji turned into his animal form and used his trunk to roll the bear up.

“What are you doing?” Xiong Ye was unhappy. “You’re holding me too tight!”

“It won’t be tight anymore if you turn into your human form.” Zhou Ji said.

Xiong Ye really turned into a human, and then was pressed down and kissed by Zhou Ji.

Zhou Ji was very satisfied that evening. It was just that he had to suppress Xiong Ye so that he wouldn’t call out wildly, which was a bit troublesome.

On the other hand, Xiong Ye felt that he’d embarra.s.sed himself.

Not only had he done so many silly things that night, he’d even cried out and hollered with Zhou Ji… Fortunately, Zhou Ji had constantly blocked his mouth.

It was just that Zhou Ji had bitten his mouth so much… that his lips were swollen today. Zhou Ji’s lips were swollen too…

They stayed at the Big Bear Tribe for a long time this time. Zhou Ji, who felt that since they were able to make wine, they would probably also be able to make soy sauce, began to pit himself against soy sauce.

In the end, they did manage to make soy sauce.

Unfortunately, neither Zhou Ji nor Xiong Ye were happy about it.

Because the priest of the Big Bear Tribe pa.s.sed away.

The priest was no longer young, and his body had suffered in his early years. For him to live so long was actually related to Zhou Ji, who had used energy to help him adjust his body so that he could live for a longer time.

However, he’d still reached the end of his life.

It was also at this time that Zhou Ji learned that the old man’s animal form was that of a hamster, and his name was Shu Xi.

No wonder the priest had never revealed his animal form, to the point where the people of the tribe didn’t even know his animal form… it turned out that his animal form was so small and cute.

When the priest pa.s.sed away, Xiong Ye was very heartbroken. Even Zhou Ji was a little sad.

However, they still recovered slowly from it. After all, they had each other.

The people around them would leave them one by one, but they would be together forever.

In the twentieth year since Zhou Ji arrived in this world, Xiong Ye’s strength finally reached the peak of the Beast King level. He upgraded with Zhou Ji’s help, and the crystal core in his body became black like Zhou Ji’s.

It was as Zhou Ji had thought. When Xiong Ye’s crystal core turned black, he was also able to shrink and grow.

If nothing unexpected happened, they would be able to live for a long time.

However, with each other around, even if they felt that they could live for a long time, they would only feel that the time they had together was too short…

They had travelled through almost all of the Beastman Continent, but there should be other continents across the seas… They wanted to go and see the rest of the world.

They would travel through the mountains and rivers together, and when they were old, they would come back to write books and enjoy their old age.

Many, many, many years later, in the site containing the ruins of the Big Bear Tribe.

A guide brought a group of people to the vicinity of the site.

The guide held a small red flag in her hand and spoke in a loud voice. “Everyone, the Big Bear Tribe’s settlement is in front of us. This is the largest prehistoric site that we have dug up so far, and archaeologists have found countless valuable materials here. According to our research, our beastmen civilization began here!”

She led the group forward and continued, “Here is where we found the first code of law in the history of mankind, as well as the earliest version of the Beast G.o.d’s Codex, written by one of the priests of the Beast G.o.d Temple They were engraved on some stone tablets buried deep beneath the ground.”

“You all should have seen the latest news. After repairing the stone tablets, experts have come to the conclusion that the Beast G.o.d really did exist in our history.”

“According to some other records of the time, there was not only the Beast G.o.d, but also many other powerhouses… Unfortunately, there aren’t many people who can take on animal form in the modern era…”

……

The guide spoke a lot, and the tourists also looked eager.

Their ancestors had been very powerful. Not to mention during the prehistoric era, even two thousand years ago, the Emperor who had unified the country was said to be a very powerful beastman. He was known as a Beast King.

Unfortunately, over the past two thousand years, beastmen had become weaker and weaker.

With the rapid development of science and technology, more and more people could no longer even change into their animal form. Only a few people were able to shift at all.

“There’s been a lot of news about the ruins of the Big Bear Tribe on the internet recently! It was said that some of the stone tablets that recorded the relationship between the Beast G.o.d and his mate have been restored.”

“I saw the news too! Everyone’s read the Beast G.o.d’s Codex, right? It’s said that Xiong Ye, who is often mentioned in the codex, was the Beast G.o.d’s mate! I always thought that the Beast G.o.d’s Codex was made up, and that the Xiong Ye it spoke of was fake!”

“I didn’t think that the Journey of Zhou, which was called the first fantasy geography book in history, was actually written by the Beast G.o.d… It’s said that what was written within was also true!”

“How is the Journey of Zhou a geography book? It’s literally a food book. I get hungry every time I read it… there was so much delicious food during the prehistoric era!”

“The Beast G.o.d back then was really very amazing! Because we excavated the site of the Big Bear Tribe’s settlement, our country is now regarded as the birthplace of the beastman civilization!”

“What country was it that always worshipped the giant bear? They said that they were the descendants of the giant bear… it’s said that that giant bear that they worship is actually the Beast G.o.d’s mate!”

“How is it just a rumor? It’s already been confirmed! On a stone tablet that was unearthed recently, there is a story recorded of the Beast G.o.d and his mate saving a group of people on that continent…”

……

The breeze blew through gently. Some parts of history were buried, but other parts would always be remembered by the people.
