Chapter 52 New house Part 1

Lin Mu ran to the door and asked, "Phil, Phil, are your medicines ready? Quick, quick, let's go to see Lais while Jason is not there."

Seriously, it's already afternoon, and Lais hasn't come out yet. And there's no way to see Lais while Jason is guarding him. After all, they didn't have the courage to challenge Jason the Ice Cube when he says no.

Phil opened the lid to check and replied, "It's almost done. Don't rush ah."

"How can we not rush it? If Jason comes back now, how can we get to Lais?"

Puzzled by Lin Mu's eagerness, Phil said, "What's there to worry about? If we can't see Lais today, we can always do it tomorrow." Phil was a little confused.

"If one wants to 'watch the show', of course we need to be there as early as possible. Otherwise, it will be boring later, isn't it right?"

"Watch the show?"

Oh no, Lin Mu accidentally said what was in his heart. Concealing his intention with a 'hehe', he said, "I uh, I am also very worried about Lais. Really!" His tone was sincere.

Phil ignored Lin Mu's nonsense. It's nothing wanting to watch the show; it's fine to do so while worrying about Lais. Hehe, who doesn't like gossip? Phil smiled secretly and filled a bowl of medicine.

"Let's go."

"I'll go too." Sasha walked over with a bowl of porridge in his hand. "I want to see Lais with you." As Sasha approached Lin Mu, he asked in a low voice, "Lais really got 'eaten'?"

Lin Mu nodded very seriously, "As true as it can be."

The females quickly came to Lais's door, only to encounter someone acting like a human wall blocking the way.

"Lal, what are you doing in front of Lais's room?" Lin Mu didn't expect that Lal would stand in front of the room to block them.

Lal smiled embarrassedly, "I'm innocent. Just that I promised Jason I would help him. Jason said that Lais needs a rest and shouldn't be disturbed. Especially…" He pointed at them, "you guys."

Sasha: "We are just visiting Lais. It doesn't matter if we went in to see him. We won't bother him."

Lal couldn't help but rolled his eyes, thinking, 'who doesn't know that you just want to 'watch the show'? Even if you are worried, you will still make fun of Lais first. This behavior definitely will affect his rest' in his heart.

Seeing that Lal is not going to let them into the room, plus it seems that Lais is still resting, Phil said, "Let not go in and let Lais rest."

"We can't. The medicine we boiled for Lais should be drunk while it is hot."

To Lin Mu, that time to sleep has long passed. So, Lais is probably lying in bed with his eyes open, zoning out right now. How could they be considered bothering him? Lais is simply feeling too shameful; that's why he still not coming out yet.

Lal looked at the medicine in Phil's hand, "I'll help you take the medicine to Lais."

Phil was about to pass the medicine to Lal when Lin Mu quickly stopped him and said, "How can you do that? You are a male, after all, so it is not as convenient as us going in." After saying that, Lin Mu pulled Lal away forcefully, "You guys go in."

How can Lal dare to use force on Lin Mu? And so, he can dodge when Lin Mu pulled him. Seeing Lin Mu gave him a triumphant look before entering, Lal couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, 'I hope Jason won't beat me.'

Phil and Sasha went in quietly. Lais didn't greet them as usual, obviously sleeping in the bed. Phil said very quietly, "It seems that Lais is really still sleeping. Let's not disturb him."

Sasha nodded, and both of them walked gently.

When Lin Mu saw that the person sleeping on the bed has his head covered, he put his finger on his lips to made a silent gesture. Then he gently walked to the bed and leaned forward. He gently pulled the blanket away so that Lais's head is exposed.

Seeing Lin Mu do that, Phil and Sasha went nearer to the bed.

Lin Mu saw Lais's face getting increasingly red, and his eyelashes trembled. It is really a picture of a seductive beauty.

"See, you can't cover your head when you sleep. Lais is so hot that his face is flushed like this."

Climbing onto the bed as well, Sasha checked Lais out and touched his face with his hand, then nodded in agreement, "You are right."

"Alright, stop pretending to be asleep, Lais. We have boiled the medicine for you. Get up and drink it quickly."

Lais had heard them talking with Lal at the door, of course. He really hoped that Lal could persuade them away, but thinking that Lin Mu is here, he also knew that success is unlikely. Having no place to hide himself, Lais can only pretend to be asleep under the covers, hoping that they can leave. Now that Lin Mu has uncovered him, he could only helplessly open his eyes.

"Lais, you were pretending to be sleeping?" Sasha asked in mock surprise.

Taking the bowl from Phil's hand, Lin Mu gave Lais the medicine and said, "It's your turn this time."

When Lais was about to sit up, Lin Mu immediately stopped him, "Don't force it. You'd better lay on your stomach." Then he shifted the bowl to Sasha instead and said, "Let me laugh for a minute first." Finally, Lin Mu can laugh at other people instead.

It was a tragic moment for Lais to drink this bowl of medicine. After he drank the medicine, Sasha suddenly thought of his bowl of porridge.

"I should have given you the porridge first."

Phil looked innocently at the bowl in his hand and said, "I forgot about it too, was too focused on the medicine."

"It's okay, I'll drink it instead."

Seeing the females busying among themselves, Lais thought in his heart, 'why no one asks me whether it's bitter or not?' So sad. Just as he was thinking about it, a fruit appeared beside his mouth.

"Eat this to disperse the bitterness." Lin Mu leaned next to Lais with a smile. Then he asked in a low voice, "How are you feeling now?"

Lais smiled embarrassedly.

"Look at how happy you are now. Feeling relieved?"

Lais smiled and nodded, "Yes."

Sasha lay down on his right side and said, "Relieved is good, so let's hold the ceremony together."

Blushing, Lais lowered his head and said, "It's not up to me."

"Doesn't matter, Lin Mu can solve it." Phil said, giving Lin Mu a 'I look up at you' look.

Rolling his eyes, Lin Mu turned to Lais and said, "En, leave this to me."

At night

Lin Mu crossed his arms around himself and stared at Jason, who is standing in front of him.

"Do you know why I'm looking for you?"

Jason nodded.

"Then, do you know what to do?"

Jason nodded.

"That's good. My task is complete. It's up to you next." After finishing speaking, he walked away.

Jason looked thoughtfully at Lin Mu's distant figure. Then he looked at the night sky tonight. The dark sky made the full moon more conspicuous.

When Lin Mu returned to his room, Patrik was resting on the bed. Hearing him entering the room,

Patrik raised his head and smiled at Lin Mu, "You finished talking to Jason?"

Nodded, Lin Mu said, "He already did it with Lais. Does he still need me to teach him what to do?"

Lin Mu quickly slipped off his flip flops. He wore it because he only thought of talking with Jason after he washed his feet. Climbing onto the bed, Lin Mu lay down in Patrik's arms and heaved a sigh of relief as if he has completed a big mission, "Finally, their problem is resolved."

Patrik smiled, "Now everyone's houses are almost finished, and our house is considered done. You just have to check it out with me tomorrow to see what else we have to add. We can almost move in."

"Alright. I have to ask Matt to help me make barrels, cabinets, and other stuff too."

"En, do whatever you want. Let's go to bed early."

"En, good night." As he said, he snuggled into the blanket.

Patrik kissed Lin Mu's forehead, "Good night." Then he put away the glowing stones, and the room plunged into darkness. Holding Lin Mu in his arms, Patrik closed his eyes after Lin Mu found a comfortable place to sleep in his arms.

A quiet night.

Chapter 52 New house Part 2

After breakfast the next morning, Lin Mu approached Matt and told him what he wanted him to make, and then explained the usefulness of the glue he found. This kind of gum is really good. He tried the glue on a wooden board, and it was firmly glued together. And so, the rest of the tribe collected a lot of the gum, and they brought back the solidified ones as well. Lin Mu tried to heat them, and it melted. Moreover, its adhesive effect was not affected.

After talking to Matt, Lin Mu went to his new home. Standing in front of the nearly completed house, Lin Mu can see that their house is the only one in the tribe with a courtyard wall and is the largest of the newly built houses. It's not that they want to be unique or emphasize Patrik's status as the tribe leader. In fact, the valley is really big, and the land is vast enough to build anything. But for the other tribesmen, they felt like they don't have the use of a big house, and they think it is more convenient to not make a courtyard wall.

Lin Mu came to the courtyard and glanced around. From the entrance, the main room is across the living room, and there was a room on the left and right sides of it. Then, there is a room on either side of the main room, which would be used as a kitchen and storage room1. Going around the kitchen to the backyard, Lin Mu can see that the front yard and backyard are quite big. He started to wonder if he would grow something when Patrik walked out of the house and called him, "Come in and see."

Lin Mu walked over with a smile, and Patrik took his hand, "Look at the house and see how you want to decorate it; the decision is up to you."

"Alright!" Then he pulled Patrik into the house.

"I want to put a big table in the living room. We will eat here in the future. In the summer, we can eat in the yard. You can make a stone table and some stools, and we will place them under the wooden shed in the yard."

"Alright."

After Lin Mu finished speaking, he ran into the room on his left. The room is still very empty, but it will be full when they put their things in.

"This room is sunny, so let's stay in this room in winter. I always hear people say that it is freezing in winter. Makes me wonder if we should make kang beds. Of course, I can't make authentic kang beds, but I probably can make a similar one."

"Kang?"

Kang beds

"En, kang bed is warm when fired up." Lin Mu checked the size of the room and started thinking about where to start. After decided on a plan, he said, "Let's go to the other room and have a look. It's a wise plan to build two rooms indeed. When it's cold, we can stay in this room. If it's hot, we can change to another room."

Looked at how excited Lin Mu is, Patrik wondered whether to tell him the real reason he built two extra rooms, which one is actually for their future children. Their house was not like other beastmen's, as they simply build a large main room, a kitchen, and a storage room. Thinking about it, Patrik decided not to mention about children to Lin Mu. If they have children in the future, they can build another room then. It is difficult for females to get pregnant after all. He won't insist on having children; it's fine as long as Lin Mu stays with him forever. He followed Lin Mu to look at the other room and said, "Let's move our things in two days."

After that, Patrik stood with Lin Mu outside their house, listening to Lin Mu sighing, "Patrik, this is our home."

"En."

Patrik held Lin Mu in his arms. He knew that Lin Mu really wanted to have a home, a place to rest. Seeing that Lin Mu can now live such a free and happy life, Patrik felt very relieved. Seeing Lin Mu smiling in his arms, Patrik recalled some memories. He could see Lin Mu's initial anxiety, but he didn't know how to give him a sense of security or how to make him happy. But now he knows, he just has to provide Lin with Mu a home, a place for him to wait for him, and letting Lin Mu depend on him.

The two were immersed in the feeling of happiness.

"Lin Mu, Lin Mu…"

Lin Mu turned around and saw Lais and Phil walking towards him. Sasha ran over happily, "Lin Mu, my house is done. Do you want to check it out? Although it is not as big as yours, I think Locke has built it quite well."

"Alright, I'll take a look at your house. When are you all going to move in?"

Lais: "Jason said we should move in two days. We talked about how to decorate our house just now, but we also want to hear your opinion. We don't have a courtyard wall, so I want to ask you how to make the fence you mentioned before."

"Fence is good; if you plant some vine plants, it will be lovely. Alright now, I will check out your houses."

Then Lin Mu turned his head to Patrik behind him, "We still lack a wooden door. You can start making one. As for our room, it's cool right now, so let's use animal skin curtains as the door."

Patrik nodded.

…

When Lin Mu got up in the morning, he opened the door curtain and saw the table in the living room. It was just a simple square wooden table and square stools, but it was good enough in Lin Mu's opinion. He has lived in the new house for two days. Now that everyone's houses are almost completed, they started moving into their new homes one after another. Everyone was quite disappointed in this emptiness for a while, though; after all, they were used to staying together under one roof; it was very lively. But everyone knows that this move is necessary, and they were actually looking forward to their new home.

Strolling into the kitchen and eating the breakfast Patrik prepared for him, Lin Mu thought about what Patrik told him last night.

"I'm leaving for a few days."

"Why?" Lin Mu was surprised because Patrik has never left him for a long time.

"I need to catch a firefox2. Since we are going to have the ceremony, I need to hunt for your ceremonial clothes."

"Will there be any danger?"

"No," Patrik said comfortingly. He couldn't predict whether it's perilous or not himself.

Thinking that it's their tradition to make clothing for the ceremony, Lin Mu naturally won't object. So he said, "Then you have to come back early."

"En."

Lin Mu sighed after eating the food in the bowl; he felt a little uncomfortable when Patrik is not around. Although Patrik used to go out hunting, Lin Mu knew that he would at least be back at night, but now it is different. Lin Mu couldn't think about anything right now and suddenly felt that he is really dependent on Patrik. If this is back in his previous world, he would definitely feel scared because over-reliance in that society is not a good thing. But here, relying on his partner is natural.

"I should ask Phil and the others for something to do to kill time."

The females gathered together to find out that their beastman has gone out as well.

"Lin Mu, you can learn to make clothes with us these days. You can't escape this time, and we can't help you with the clothes either." Lais suggested while looking at the listless Lin Mu.

The other two supported the suggestion.

"Ai!" And so, Lin Mu entered the painful days of making clothes.

Chapter 53 Ceremony

There is a large open space in front of the big house where the drifter beastman originally lived together. After being cleaned up, it became a gathering square. At this moment, there are more than a dozen beastman busying around in the square, and sometimes one will see Casso and Qiuqiu fighting in the square.

Lal stood in the square and kept giving directions.

"These tables are going to be there."

"Hey, you have to put the stove here so that it won't get in the way."

"Aiya, you have to make sure to wash the dishes clean."

…

Cohen walked towards the busy bee Lal. Seeing Cohen coming over, Lal hurried up to greet him, pretending to complain, "Why did the boss give me such a big task of handling the ceremony? The pressure is so great!" If these words weren't accompanied by a triumphant expression, it would be more convincing.

Cohen said with contempt, "I think you are enjoying it."

"Hehe, yeah. The boss gave me such an important task to show that he believed in my ability. Aiya, I can't disappoint the boss's expectations of me."

Cohen couldn't help rolling his eyes in his heart, thinking 'I don't think it's because you are capable, but just because you are very free.' But Cohen didn't want to agitate him. No matter what, this is his partner, although they haven't held the ceremony yet. The most important thing is that today is a great day for their boss Patrik, the tribe leader of the drifter beastman tribe, to hold his ceremony. Hence, it's alright to humour Lal.

Yes, today is the day where Patrik and Lin Mu become partners. Naturally, it is also the day where the other couples become partners. That day, Patrik and the others went hunting for animal skins to make new clothes for their partners and it took them more than ten days. Lais and the others were alright, but Lin Mu became spiritless all day. Because Patrik has never left his side for that long.

Lin Mu has always known that he likes Patrik, but these days has made him understand that Patrik is already indispensable in his life. Patrik is not only his lover, partner but also his only relative. He couldn't imagine what he would do if Patrik had an accident, after all, there were too many powerful beasts in this world. That's why when Patrik came back from some minor injuries, Lin Mu couldn't help crying. He knew that it is inevitable for beastman to get hurt during hunting, but he still felt sad nevertheless. And so Patrik lived an exceptionally comfortable life in those few days, and all his requirements were met. Of course, extreme happiness leads to sorrow. After a rough sme-xy time, Lin Mu ordered a restriction on that 'exercise'.

…

Seeing that the altar is under construction, Lal asked Cohen, "When will the altar be built? Remember not to miss the auspicious hour."

Cohen replied with confidence, "Don't worry, it will be completed before noon. The ceremony will not be delayed."

Lal: "Lin Mu asked to build the altar on the easternmost part of the square this time, so it won't get in the way, and there is no need to dismantle it after this. It is really troublesome to dismantle and rebuild every time."

Cohen: "En, that way, we don't need to rebuild it when we hold our ceremony."

It will be a lie if Cohen says he is not jealous after knowing that the four couples are going to hold their ceremony. He is also anxious ah! If he has no partner to start with, then it's fine. But now there is one who stayed with him, why can't he hold the ceremony together? It's all Lal's fault for being so awkward.

"Who wants to hold the ritual with you?!" Lal glanced at the incoming flying beasts and said, "Ryan is back with the flowers, I'm going to work."

Looking at Lal's back as he fled, Cohen couldn't help but shook his head, "Still being so awkward. He already stayed in the same room with me and still don't recognize our relationship. But then again, we also lived together before. No, there has to be a way to get Lal to agree to be partners with me. Otherwise, with his temperament, I don't know how long I will have to wait." After muttering those words, Cohen went to busy with his work.

On the other side, what greeted him when Lal ran to the two giant beasts was a very loud 'Atchoo'. Lal narrowly escaped, and then laughed unkindly at the sneezing behemoth, "Hahaha… Howth, do you how funny you look right now?"

The two giant beasts were Ryan and Howth. Howth quickly dropped those flowers to the ground with his tail, and then swiftly distanced away from the flowers. Howth's movement made Lal laugh again. Beastman's overly keen sense of smell when in the beast form made them feel uncomfortable when facing mixed floral scents, so they will feel much better in their human form. Of course, other beastman's reactions were not as severe as Howth's sneezing. That means Howth is a beastman with hay fever. Of course, before getting this task, Howth didn't even know he had this problem. Ryan also quickly moved the flowers he was carrying to the ground, before transforming to his human form and ran after his brother Howth.

These flowers were picked from the sea of flowers that Sasha and Locke found last time (remember?)1, and they were bright and beautiful. Lal sneezed into a bunch of flowers, and then called a few beastmen to arrange the flowers in the four beastman's home. Hehe, Lal was not being mischievous, not at all. Lin Mu said it, decorating the bridal house is very important (Lin Mu: *innocent* I didn't mean that, you misunderstand). Of course, the side effects of these flowers have nothing to do with him.

Lal collected several baskets of pink petals and asked a beastman nearby, "Where is Misha?" He needed Misha to take the petals. From what he heard from Lin Mu, the ceremony from his place has children throwing petals during the ceremony. Misha is the only child in the tribe who can do this. The boss trusts him so much, he has to leave a good memory for them no matter what. When he found Misha, Misha said it's very tiring for him since four couples are going to hold the ceremony. But after he managed to exhort 2 cat beasts from Lal, he happily picked the flower basket and went away.

On the other hand, where is Lin Mu now? The four of them are in the big house, and they have put on their newly made clothes.

"Our clothes are too bright and eye-catching." Lin Mu said, pulling at the top of firefox skin that he was wearing.

Lais is wearing a snow-white animal skin jacket and skirt. "Mine is not that bright."

Sasha looked at his red and brown clothes and said, "No, I think it looks good."

Phil's clothing is bright yellow, making his fair complexion even whiter, petite and cute, "I feel it looked excellent too."

"Alright, alright, it's just my colour is coquettish."

Sasha fluffed his long blonde hair, "Lin Mu, how to make my hair looks good?"

Lais: "Yes, please help us to tie our hair?"

Lin Mu's hair is at shoulder-length now. Initially, he wanted to cut it, but unfortunately, there are no scissors in this world. He didn't dare to try it with a stone knife, it would be miserable if he couldn't go out due to bad hairstyle. Since his hairstyle is simple, he doesn't need to spend any time on his head, but the other three has long hairs and different texture.

"Well then, I'll be your stylist for free this time."

Lais is the tallest among them. Because of his gentle aura, Lin Mu tied his hair in half and let the rest of his long hair behind him, making his temperament more gentle. Sasha's blonde hair was tied up high into a ponytail, making him look more energetic, which was in line with his lively nature. As for Phil, he left bangs on his forehead, which made him look delicate and lovely. After they are done, they sat at the table, chatting and waiting for their beastman to return. Patrik and the others went out hunting because the ceremony would require a lot of food. The other beastmen were busy; hence the four of them are in charge of hunting and catching enough food for the banquet.

Lin Mu threw a small red fruit like a small tomato into his mouth. While chewing, he said, "We are going to be busy today."

Puzzled, Sasha said, "En?"

"Today's dinner will be a banquet, and we will have to cook for a lot of people."

Sasha said happily, "Well, I missed the food you cooked so much. One of the bad points of living separately is we can't eat the food you cooked, Lin Mu."

Lais and Phil also nodded and agreed, "We all missed Lin Mu's skill."

Lin Mu said disapprovingly, "Tsk, it's not like your cooking is not good. Stop making me look like a glutton."

Sasha: "But it's not as delicious as your cooking."

Seeing everyone looked eager, Lin Mu said, "Since all of you like my cooking so much, I will make more delicious food tonight."

"What a good decision."

When Patrik and the others returned, they handed the meat that they have cleaned to the beastman who is in charge of the barbecue. Seeing that everything is almost all set up, the beastmen went into the house to find their partners.

The females stood up when they saw their partners.

Lin Mu came to Patrik and asked, "When will the ceremony begin? We have eaten a lot of fruits while waiting."

Patrik pinched Lin Mu's face and replied, "Almost time."

"Locke, what did you guys caught today?"

"There are so many types. But of course, there are also the Gulu beasts2 you like to eat."

"That's great!"

Lin Mu looked at Sasha speechlessly, he is really a foodie. Take a look at Lais and Phil. They were looking at their beastman with affection while this guy only knows to eat. Eat so much every day but doesn't seem to be growing—what a waste.

"Boss, the time is up, you should come out."

Hearing Lal's voice, Sasha bit into the fruit with a loud 'kacha'.

"Sasha, what's wrong?"

Sasha replied with bulging cheeks. "I'm nervous."

Hearing that, Locke immediately took the person into his arms and comforted, "Don't be nervous, there is nothing to be nervous about. Look, I'm not nervous." He is not nervous but excited. How long has he been waiting? He is looking forward to today! Divine beast god, he can finally be partners with Sasha!

Sasha immediately retorted, "Of course you are not nervous!" It is not you who will suffer later! The result after Lin Mu and Lais was 'eaten' is really worrying.

However, it doesn't matter if one is nervous or not, they need to go out now. Holding each other's hand tightly while looking at the person who will be spending their lifetime together, the couples stepped out of the house. The light was colourful, and all the tribesmen stood on both sides of the path, watching them heading towards the altar step by step. Today, their tribe will have four couples getting together, which has a special meaning for them. And today would be one of the most memorable events for them.

Patrik and Lin Mu first ascended the altar. Then they bowed to the east.

"Praying for the beast god's testimony!" Everyone's voices were so loud and powerful.

Patrik cut his finger with a knife and dripped a drop of blood into a bowl of water. Lin Mu tried to do the same but was stopped by Patrik. Patrik put Lin Mu's finger in his mouth and bit down. Then he squeezed a drop of blood from Lin Mu's finger into the bowl.

Patrik picked up the bowl and said solemnly, "Our blood has mixed together, never separating, and we will spend the rest of our lives together."

In Lin Mu's opinion, he feels that they are already a pair of old couple, and this ceremony is just a formality. He thought he would not be excited, but at this moment he was moved in a mess, "En, we will stay together for a lifetime!"

Patrik and Lin Mu drank the blood water together, and the ceremony is complete. Yes, it is that simple. There is no beautiful marriage vow, no 'Yes, I do.' Just mixing of blood, I am in you, you are in me, never separate. A beastman's loyalty is in his heart, he does not require the bondage of an oath, and yet, his heart is as firm as a rock.

The moment the ceremony is completed, a ray of red light surrounded the two people.

Lin Mu glanced around at the mysterious red light and heard Patrik's excited voice, "Mu Mu, our ceremony has been blessed by the beast god!"

"Blessing from the beast god?"

Lin Mu heard the cheers from the audience; beast god, what a magical existence.

The couples performed the rituals one after another. What excites everyone the most is that all couples have been blessed by the beast god. At this moment, they believe that being surrounded by the mysterious halo is the happiest time in their life.

---

Chapter 54 Banquet

The four couples who held the ceremony were blessed by the beast god. This incident made everyone very happy and even more eager to celebrate tonight. Everyone ate a simple lunch at noon and prepared to take a nap; they will begin to prepare dinner food after that.

At the moment, Lin Mu held the soup bowl in his hand, but he didn't plan to drink anymore. He felt greasy after eating a piece of barbecue before this. But he couldn't reject Patrik's request, so he could only drink slowly while holding the bowl. In fact, the taste of the soup was okay. Sometime later, Lin Mu came to Casso and Casso enjoying its after-meal soup with Qiuqiu. The soup bowl is specially made by Damon for Casso. Of course, Qiuqiu also has its own small bowl, which was made by its master, Lin Mu.

Lin Mu rubbed Qiuqiu's little head, and Qiuqiu rubbed against Lin Mu's palm. Pleasing its own owner is what a pet must always do. After drinking the last bit of soup in the bowl, Qiuqiu burped comfortably, and lay on the floor covered with blankets; sunbathing.

Looking at Qiuqiu's round belly, Lin Mu felt amused and gently rubbed its belly with his hands; it was fluffy. Seeing that Casso had also finished drinking a large bowl of soup, Lin Mu turned to Casso and said, "Casso, after your rest, go and help me catch some chickens back. The more, the better." Their dinner banquet will need a lot of chickens. Talking about the big chickens, Lin Mu wondered if they could catch some to raise, but thinking about how the food for the chickens is not easy to get, it is more convenient to raise rabbits. Rabbits only need grass.

"Of course, please catch some long-eared beasts back."

Seriously, the long-eared beast is just an enlarged rabbit, but it was labelled as beast instead. Lin Mu tried to call it as rabbit many times, but everyone doesn't agree with his suggestion. According to them, the beast's ears are so long, of course, it should be called long-eared beasts. That way, people would know that long-eared beasts have very long ears. Why call them rabbits? Rabbits, rabbits, what kind of name is this? Finally, Lin Mu compromised and agreed with the name long-eared beast.

"Casso, catch as many as you can. Of course, it would be better if you can keep it alive."

They can try to raise it. After all, there are more than two months in autumn, so if they can raise it properly, the meat would be able to sustain them in winter, and they can eat fresh meat as well. Even if the long-eared beast cannot be raised during winter, it is still a kind of food reserve, right? After all, the current weather is not suitable for storing meat. Ai, if only there was a freezer around. Lin Mu heard that there is something called ice house in ancient Chinese time, but he didn't know how to make one, and he hadn't read related information before. In the age of refrigerators, no one would think to learn how to build an ice house. It would be nice if they could build one though, then he can eat ice in summer. There are so many fruits here so shaved ice would taste pretty good in summer.

With a grunt, Casso nodded in agreement and then lay down next to Qiuqiu to rest.

Lin Mu smiled and watched them resting next to each other. He didn't expect at first that Qiuqiu and Casso would get along so well as a beast and beastman. After all, beastman who could think would look down on beasts that couldn't. This is the difference between man and beast. But thinking that Qiuqiu is smart, he can understand why the two has a close friendship. Sometimes the intimacy between them really makes Lin Mu feel thoughtful. Because he is Qiuqiu's real owner, but his pet is now living in someone else's house and refuses to come back. Sometimes this makes Lin Mu think if he failed as an owner.

Finishing his last sip of soup, Lin Mu stood up and reminded, "Don't forget."

What he received as an answer was still a hum from Casso, but he could somehow sense a little impatience in it.

"This kid."

The reason why Lin Mu asked Casso to catch the chickens and rabbits instead of other beastmen was because the size of preys was too small compared to the beastmen's huge figure. Although they can catch it, it's not as easy as the relatively small Casso.

Lin Mu put the bowl away, he doesn't have to wash it since there is a beastman who is responsible for cleaning. His task now is to take a good rest and then get up to make a big meal. However, Patrik didn't let anyone do it and started cleaning Lin Mu's bowl himself. After all, it is Lin Mu's thing, and Patrik thought it is better to clean it himself. All the cleaned bowls were placed together, but they don't have to worry about getting mixed up, all the tableware has its own mark.

Patrik came in when Lin Mu just lay down.

"Come here quickly." Lin Mu called out. He felt like he could sleep better in Patrik's arms.

Patrik naturally obeyed his partner's request and quickly took off his shoes. Then he laid on the bed, watching as Lin Mu approached him and nestled into a comfortable position in his arms before closing his eyes.

"Are you going out to hunt with them this afternoon?"

"En, need to hunt some prey for tonight's barbecue."

"En, catch a few pigs. I'll make Red braised pork belly (红烧肉) for you."

"En."

By now, Patrik knows that the pigs that Lin Mu mentioned are actually Hengheng beasts1. He doesn't think Hengheng beast's meat is delicious, but he will catch it since Lin Mu asked and it didn't take much effort. Moreover, Patrik heard of braised pork from Lin Mu before. It is said to be delicious, but one can't eat too much (for Lin Mu). Seeing that Lin Mu didn't plan to say anything else, Patrik closed his eyes too. Having a nap after lunch is a habit he gotten from Lin Mu.

When Lin Mu woke up, the person beside him had already left. Judging from the brightness of the light outside the window, Lin Mu estimated that it is about 3.00 – 4.00 pm in Earth's time. Lin Mu walked out of the room and saw the females are already waiting in the living room.

"When did you come?"

Lais smiled and said, "Not long, we arrived when the tribe leader is about to go out."

Lin Mu stretched before saying, "En, we are going to be busy. Let's go."

Phil: "Lin Mu, what are we making today? We will follow your decision."

"En En" Sasha nodded, "You made the best food, I want to eat sweet and sour fish. I have been thinking about it for many days!"

"You are just a foodie!" Lin Mu said with a smile. His cooking skills are only a little bit better than ordinary people, but thinking about their level of cooking before this, Lin Mu could be considered a master here; felt a little bit proud.

Arriving at the square, they can see that the stove has been set up, and the vegetables needed were already washed. These beastmen who helped with cooking has improved, so good. In the past, washing vegetables means washing away all the leaves, but now their progress is visible, at least the whole leaf survived.

"Let's make some cold dishes first."

"En." They nodded and started to get busy.

The cold dishes are mainly meat. The marinated meat are sliced, then added with sliced green onion, minced ginger, vinegar, and mix well. That's it. The meat prepared for the beastman was cut thickly, while theirs were cut thinner. They made some cold vegetable dishes as well. The beastman are carnivores, so they don't like to eat vegetable; the meaty ones are better. But the females like it very much.

When it comes to soy-braised pork, they have to talk about their newly discovered condiment – soy sauce fruit. Soy sauce fruit, as the name suggests, the juice of this fruit is dark soy sauce. Though the name carries the word 'fruit', this is not the kind with the flesh. In fact, the outer layer of the soy sauce fruit is a brown hard shell, the size of which is like a walnut. The reason why soy sauce fruit can be discovered by everyone is because of Lin Mu. Ever since the tribe found out that Lin Mu knew a lot of things and food, and sometimes discovered some food that they thought had nothing to do with eating, they consciously took it back whenever they saw new things outside. Then they would show it to Lin Mu to see if it's useful. Hence, Lin Mu saw a lot of weird things, and at the same time found this soy sauce fruit unexpectedly.

With soy sauce, Lin Mu can make more things, just like when making Braised Chicken with Potatoes (土豆鸡块). Frankly, Lin Mu's appetite is not so good when he sees the white chicken (unseasoned). In fact, others think it is delicious, but Lin Mu just thinks that adding soy sauce is the authentic way of eating chicken.

Braised Chicken with Potatoes

When the cold dishes were almost ready, Damon came back with Casso. He went Casso to catch chickens and rabbits earlier. Though as Casso's father, his task is just following Casso and collecting prey, but Damon is still happy to do it.

Lin Mu doesn't need to clean up the prey himself, but looking at so many chicken feathers, he felt that the chicken feathers should not be thrown away. If he saves it up, maybe he can make down jackets with it. Of course, the rabbit skins cannot be thrown away too. Beastmen looked down at such a small piece of rabbit skin because it is not a treasured animal. But Lin Mu felt that using rabbit skins for gloves and hats was pretty good. Although Patrik could hunt him better skins, wastage is a shameful behaviour!

Before Patrik and the others came back, they simmered the chicken soup and fish soup in the pot. They liked to eat fish, so there can't be fewer fish dishes. For starters, they make steamed fish, spicy poached fish (水煮鱼), and braised fish. Of course, Lin Mu also took the opportunity to make some snacks for them. Chickens in this world are huge, and wild chickens are naturally more flavorful, unlike those broiler chickens, whose meat texture taste like firewood.

---

The chicken wings are very big, so he made crispy chicken wings and spicy chicken chops. He didn't cook a lot of the snacks, it is just to satisfy their craving first.

When Patrik and the others came back with the cleaned meat, they asked them to marinate the meat first, while Lin Mu and the others began to prepare stir-fry.

Stir-fried sliced pork with pepper, Yuxiang shredded pork, braised chicken with potatoes, steamed chicken. As for the rabbit meat, some were made soup, but the main thing is to make braised rabbit meat, mala rabbit meat, and dry stir-fried rabbit meat. Those meats can be cooked in a variety of ways. Lin Mu mainly processed the pork belly, and then told the beastman how big each piece should be. He believed that for red braised pork belly, even if the ingredients were incomplete, the beastmen would still like them. The reason why he didn't cook it before was because he lacked soy sauce. Without soy sauce, the colour is not beautiful, so Lin Mu didn't want to eat it.

When the banquet began, everyone was sitting in the square. There was a big fire in the middle of the square. Everyone happily ate the grilled meat and vegetables, and of course, Lin Mu's steamed buns are indispensable. The food at the dinner was delicious, and everyone started dancing around the fire after they were full. Lin Mu pulled Patrik and joined the dancing team, but soon found that only a few people, including him, are still dancing, while the rest watched and cheered at them. Other than that, Lin Mu wondered what kind of dance Patrik is dancing around him. Although it looks messy, it is powerful. The other beastmen cheered and laughed at them because of Patrik's dance.

Lin Mu was a little confused, but when he saw other females being in the same situation, Lin Mu's somewhat awkward mood calmed down. Then he smiled while watching Patrik dance around him. It wasn't until a long time later that Lin Mu knew that Patrik's disorderly dance was actually a courtship dance. At that time, Patrik felt that Lin Mu's gaze was strange as he(LM) looked at him. At that moment, Lin Mu thought why other beastmen did the courtship dance so well while Patrik's dance was out of rhythm.

It wasn't until late at night that everyone's excitement calmed down and they went back to their house to sleep.

After returning home, Patrik took out the glowing stones to put in the holder. Lin Mu threw himself on the bed and complained, "I am exhausted today! Patrik, I want to take a bath, help me boil some water."

Since having a wooden barrel, Lin Mu likes taking a bath. The barrel made by Matt is excellent, but it's too big and ended up being advantageous for Patrik. 'Mandarin ducks are playing in the water' and whatnots, Lin Mu really thinks Matt could have made the tub smaller.

Chapter 55 Wedding night

Most people have left the square and returned to their rooms. Misha, who had fallen asleep, was also brought home by Matt. But the two little ones have not returned yet and stood under a tree. The moonlight tonight was very good, making the woods less dark.

"Qiuqiu, Lin Mu and the rest are all married. I wonder when we will get married?" Casso said with a sigh. As for the word 'marriage', it learned it from Lin Mu.

Qiuqiu glanced at Casso, "What marriage? I still don't know what I am right now." Thinking of this, Qiuqiu felt that its sunny heart had become cloudy. The reason why it came out of the Fog Forest was to find out what it is, but it had never seen a beast or beastman like itself.

Sensing that Qiuqiu's mood has turned slightly depressed, Casso quickly said, "Qiuqiu, you can speak beastman, so you must be beastman. Of course, even if you are a male, I still like you." Casso immediately expressed its thoughts.

Actually, Qiuqiu was very moved when it heard Casso's words, but it would never tell Casso that.

"Ai, it would be nice if I could find my own kind. Then I don't have to worry about being the odd one out."

"Qiuqiu, don't worry. When I became an adult, I will accompany you out to find your people. You don't have to worry. We are still young anyway and should stay in the tribe. Moreover, our tribe is perfect. We have nice houses and delicious food. If you are hungry, you can act spoiled to Lin Mu and ask him to cook for you. So nice, right?"

Qiuqiu thought of that too, so it doesn't have many worries, "En, our tribe is really good, at least the food my owner cooked is very delicious."

"En, wait until we are grown up, we shall go out together. This continent is actually huge. My father said, as a beastman, we all need to gain experience from the outside world, but that is not allowed until we reach adulthood. Then we can go to many places and see a lot of different scenery. Plus we can eat a lot of different food."

Qiuqiu thinks it is a good plan, and said happily, "You will be responsible for making it for me then."

"En…alright, I will go to learn from Lin Mu." Looking at its wolf claws, Casso added, "but I have to wait until I can transform."

"It's fine since you already agreed."

"My owner is now married and will belong to Patrik alone. Patrik is so possessive. If I am really a beastman, he will not let me go. And I can't rub against my owner's arms anymore in the future. That makes me feel sad just from thinking about it." Qiuqiu said, pretending to be sad while looking at the distance.

Casso: "Qiuqiu, actually Lin Mu belongs to Patrik even if they didn't hold the ceremony. Didn't you see him staring at you viciously when he saw you being held by Lin Mu? Therefore, it is safer for you to keep some distance with Lin Mu in the future. "

And that would make me happy as well, Casso thought to itself.

Qiuqiu nodded. What Casso said made sense. Hence, it decided not to rub Lin Mu's arms in the future. As for everything else, it will just act as usual.

Casso was pleased when Qiuqiu nodded in agreement. Looking at the sky, it is really late, so it suggested, "Let's go back to sleep." As it said that, Qiuqiu jumped up and lay on Casso's back. Now that both of them have their own room, Casso doesn't need to stay in the same room with its father anymore. It feels terrific.

…

At Lin Mu's side.

The bathtub was placed in the storage room. Lin Mu touched the water, and it felt a little hot but quite suitable for bathing. Pulling down the curtain of the storage room, Lin Mu soaked in the tub, sighing comfortably. The wooden tub is quite big, and there is a small stool placed inside, which Lin Mu likes very much.

Earlier, Patrik watched as Lin Mu forgot to take his change of clothes and went to the bath. He did not say anything. After all, today is the wedding day. Moreover, he has 'fasted' for a few days. It's time to eat. Opening the curtain, he walked into the storage room. Lin Mu didn't notice because he has closed his eyes; the hot water made him sleepy. So this is what Patrik saw when he walked in: Lin Mu leaning back lazily on the tub, his handsome face and long hair made his delicate face even more exquisite. Maybe because of the hot water, his cheeks looked moist and tender. His delicate collarbone was exposed to the air, the crystal clear water couldn't fully cover Lin Mu's beautiful body because of his height. His slender waist and long, fair legs reminded Patrik the time when Lin Mu's legs clxmped tightly around his waist during their 'pas-sio-nate' time. Patrik's gaze deepened as he called out, "Mu Mu, you forgot to bring your clothes." His voice was very hoarse.

"En?" Lin Mu opened his misty eyes, but his consciousness was a little unclear for a moment. When he finally came to his sense, Patrik had already entered the tub.

Lin Mu became sober in an instant, "Why did you come in?"

Patrik chuckled and said with a slightly deep voice, "Didn't Mu Mu hear me just now? I'm here to bring you clothes."

Looking at Patrik's deep eyes, Lin Mu can see his desire burning in it, which made his face feel hot and he couldn't help lowering his head as he said, "But you don't need to enter the tub. "

…

Not everyone had such a good night. At least Locke felt sad that he was banned from bed by his partner on their first night, he thought that while laying on the ground. Of course, Sasha was not so cruel to make Locke sleep on the ground just like that. He kindly laid a thick layer of animal skin on the ground for Locke, so he would not get hurt by the ground.

The night gets deeper, but Locke couldn't sleep, as he is thinking about a critical question. After thinking about it, he still feels quite unwilling to spend his first night on the floor, so he decided to give play to the advantage of beastman – being thick-skinned. Having thick skin is very important when getting along with their partner. All beastman knows that they must have thick skin in front of their female; otherwise, they are the one who will suffer. Locke knows this well, so he thinks he could just pretend to not hear what Sasha said earlier. Hence, Locke crawled into the bed quietly.

Sasha was about to fall asleep when he suddenly felt someone climbing onto the bed. Immediately opening his eyes, he asked, "Locke! Why are you up here?! You…"

[CEN-SO-RED]

As for the other two pairs, naturally, they are having a sweet time without any difficulties. Just that, it's obvious that Lin Mu and the females will not be able to get up tomorrow.

Chapter 56 Lin Yu's extra

When he was a child, Lin Yu1 felt very happy with his life. He has an elegant and dignified mother and a very capable father, who built his business from scratch. Lin Yu has always admired his dad since he was a child. Among his friends, some kids came from wealthy families, but Lin Yu can proudly say to them, "Your dad is not as good as mine. Your mothers told me that the reason why your father is so rich is because your grandfather's family is very rich, but my father earned his own money. He started from scratch." At that time, little Lin Yu might not understand what it means by 'starting from scratch,' but he knew that it meant that his father is very powerful, even better than other kids' fathers.

However, everything changed when he was ten years old.

The family he is so proud of was destroyed by a young boy who suddenly appeared in his house. Lin Yu discovered that the father he had always admired has other women outside, like his friends' fathers, and he even had a child from that relationship. His mother, who has always been noble and elegant, his lady-like mother has become so hysterical and crazy.

Lin Yu stood outside the door, and he could clearly hear his parents quarreling loudly in the room. His mother's voice was sharp and harsh as she screamed angrily, and his father insisted on the decision to keep the child at home from beginning to end. Mother screamed out uselessly, while father didn't have a shred of guilt in his flat voice. All this made Lin Yu very sad because he could feel that his happy home was destroyed on this day. The happy life of the past will not come back, even if his father still loves him as before, he feels that everything has changed. At least, he himself has changed.

Looking down from upstairs, Lin Yu stood there while staring at the child sitting quietly on the sofa downstairs. The child has a stiff expression, but there is no fear of being in an unfamiliar environment. Lin Yu bitterly glared at the child's small and beautiful face, thinking, 'So beautiful, I can see how beautiful that woman is, otherwise, how can she seduce my father?'

To be honest, Lin Yu has always known that his parents' relationship is not good. He can see that his father doesn't love his mother. He also knows that his father married her because of his mother's background. But Lin Yu believes that even if his parents do not have love between them, they can still stay together for a lifetime. They can have family affection, and that can make their family live happily. In his opinion, family affection is much stronger than the uncertain thing called love.

But everything is gone now; he knows that his father's cheating will make his mother hate him. Mother is a very proud person. She won't allow the illegitimate child to enter the house because doing so will make her be the laughing stock of others. This is definitely not what she wants to see. Mother can bear Father not loving her, but she can't handle being a joke. She would rather Father being laughed at than herself. How can these two continue to live together for a long time?

'My home was ruined by you! I will never let you go!' Lin Yu thought to himself as he looked at the child downstairs viciously. Even if the child can stay in their family, he would never let him feel good.

What happened in the following days was exactly what Lin Yu thought, his parents could no longer be together. Mother didn't divorce Father because divorce was an act of cowardice. She won't leave the Lin family just because of an illegitimate child. If that's the case, wouldn't she lose badly?

Although Mother did not leave the Lin family, she found a lover for herself. A man who is better than Father in both appearance and ability and this man is Mother's first love as well. His mother is such a proud person. Naturally, she wants everyone in the world to know that it is she who does not want that man(Father)! Lin Yu has seen that man before; he is someone with a decent smile and would show extraordinary temperament in every gesture. But Lin Yu could also see that when the man looked at Mother, there wasn't any love in his eyes, although Mother is still in her beautiful state. Lin Yu figured that this should be an agreement between them, which allowed his mother to get back her face(dignity).

And so, the child started to live with them, and Father tried his best to please the child, but the other party still treated him with lukewarm responses. Although Lin Yu hated that child very much, he did not act immediately. He had to think of the best way to punish him with the most painful punishment. Other the other hand, Mother did not make Lin Mu suffer and never abused Lin Mu, but she chose a more cruel method – cold treatment violence. Except for Father, no one in the Lin family talk to Lin Mu and ignored his existence. Sometimes Lin Mu didn't even say a word for a day at home. Lin Yu watched the whole matter with an icy attitude.

Lin Yu has to admit, he felt very surprised by Lin Mu. The five or six years old child was not scared of being neglected, nor did he ask for help from his only backer – his father, as Lin Yu initially thought, but simply stayed quietly in the house. It seems that he doesn't care about how other people treated him. However, Lin Mu's attitude angered Lin Yu.

'What rights do you have?! What rights do you have to act calm? You are just an illegitimate child!'

Lin Yu knew that his mother's method is useless because the child's psychological endurance was much stronger than they thought. A person like this can only be defeated mentally, and the only one who can hurt him is the one he cares about.

Watching the kid reading in the garden from a distance, Lin Yu thought in this mind, 'I want you to die in pain! You shouldn't have existed! You shouldn't…'

From then on, everyone in the Lin family watched in surprise as the young master, that Lin Yu,

who had been ignoring Lin Mu's existence, took the initiative to show his favor to the illegitimate son, which made everyone very puzzled. Could it be that Lin Yu has finally accepted Lin Mu? No matter how puzzled everyone is, this phenomenon makes his father very happy. The elder son finally accepted the younger son, it is naturally a good sign. They would be able to live well in the future, even if that woman leaves.

Although Lin Yu's kindness made Lin Mu very resistant, he finally accepted it. After all, he was only a five or six year old child, and he wanted friends very much. Moreover, Lin Mu's mother's education made him unable to refuse the kindness from other people. Lin Mu still lived a difficult life in the family later on, but he felt a lot happier having someone to accompany him and talk to him. From thereon, Lin Yu became the person he cared about most in the Lin family.

This is what Lin Yu wants.

Lin Yu was secretly gleeful as Lin Mu trusted him more and more. Lin Yu didn't tell anyone about his plan, not even his mother. But his mother is a smart person and someone who knows Lin Yu very well. Therefore, Lin Yu was not surprised that his mother didn't ask about his actions.

Although Lin Yu wanted to show that he liked his younger brother very much, he never stops making him(LM) feel bad. He watched in amusement when his younger brother wondered why his classmates were so hostile to him. He watched his father become more and more disappointed with Lin Mu. He watched as Lin Mu failed to get into his intended major because of a mistake in the college entrance examination and felt sad, which was due to him(LY) deliberately causing Lin Mu to get sick before this… Lin Yu feels that Lin Mu's pain is his greatest happiness.

He won't let Lin Mu find a suitable job, but he won't really push him to a dead end because his father would definitely not bear it and make Lin Mu return to the Lin House, which is definitely not what he wanted. The Lin company is his, so how could he be willing to let other people get involved in his own property?

…

Lin Yu looked at the dying woman2 in front of him. This is his mother, but she no longer had the noble charm of her youth. The ending she gets today is because she lost, lost to herself. In a relationship where everyone takes what they need, she ended up taking it seriously3, how ridiculous. Doomed to yearn for the things she cannot get, doomed to exhaust her life and energy on it. Looking at the old woman in front of him, he said, "Mom, you lost, but I'm not."

…

The content of the will made Lin Yu very surprised and angry. He did not expect that his father would give most of his fortune to Lin Mu, the son who disappointed him so much. Lin Yu has his own company now, and he has never minded Lin company's assets. The Lin company is just a stepping stone to his own accomplishment. Still, even if he doesn't care about the Lin company, he is unwilling to give up what originally belongs to him to other people, especially this person he hated for so long.

The fury actually made Lin Yu even calmer, and he did not show the slightest dissatisfaction in front of Lin Yuhui(father). After all, in other people's eyes, his own assets were not less than the Lin company. However, the extreme angry made him lost his sanity, so the thought of killing Lin Mu flashed in his mind. And this idea has constantly been growing. He knew that a devil is living in his heart, and it kept yelling, "Kill Lin Mu, he shouldn't have existed! Kill him!"

After Lin Yu pushed Lin Mu off the cliff, he felt that his whole body was relaxed. The grievances and hatred that had been pressing on him for many years had all disappeared. He returned to his residence and fell asleep comfortably, sleeping until noon the next day, without a dream. Lin Mu has always been a thorn in his heart; now that the thorn is pulled out, he just felt relaxed.

…

On the office building's top floor, Lin Yu stood by the glass window, looking at the night view outside. At this moment, he truly felt that he is living alone in this world. In the past few days, he has discovered that something is wrong with him. He would habitually call Lin Mu's number every day. Because he wants to act as a good brother previously, Lin Yu has gotten used to give Lin Mu a call to remind him to eat, wear more clothes, or remember to go bask in the sun…

These have become a habit, a terrible habit that cannot be quit.

At first, when Lin Yu realized what he was doing, he smashed down his phone angrily, but that didn't stop him from unconsciously buying things he felt suitable for Lin Mu or calling Lin Mu's number whenever he saw something delicious… Just to realize that he has already killed him.

Now, Lin Yu couldn't not admits that the person he has hated for so many years is the only one he ever treats sincerely, even though… Even though he thought he was just acting.

The phone rang.

"Father."

"Ah Yu, you will come home tomorrow, right? I have something to talk to you." Lin Yuhui's voice sounds tired.

"En."

The other party hung up.

Lin Yu put down the phone and came to stand by the window again. He knew that his father was looking for someone to investigate Lin Mu's disappearance these days, and he didn't care about it anymore.

…

Lin Yu walked into the study and saw Lin Yuhui sitting with his back to the door. It makes Lin Yu realize that this man has become so old.

Lin Yu stopped beside him.

"You're here."

"En."

Lin Yuhui paused for a long time before asking, "Mu Mu… he can't come back anymore, right?"

Lin Yu thought for a long time, and in the end, he answered his father's question, which was asked in a trembling voice, "En."

Lin Yuhui sighed for a long time, which seemed to take away the strength of his whole body.

"It's all my fault."

Lin Yu didn't say anything, listening quietly to his father's self-blame.

Lin Yuhui laughed at himself, "I am an unscrupulous person, and I will definitely try my best to fight for what I want. In my heart, self-interests are always above all else. Therefore, for the sake of my benefits, I married your mother. I don't think I need love. What I enjoy is the great glory that success brings and the achievement that makes others look up to you. But then I regretted my choice." Lin Yuhui paused and then continued.

He said, "Mu Mu's mother is a woman in a small city. When I first saw her, I thought she was as holy as a white lily. Maybe people like me with a dark heart are more likely to be attracted to purity; I immediately fell in love with her. Although Mu Mu's mother is not from a rich family, she is very easily satisfied. She surprised me that there are such kind and beautiful person in the world. I tried my best to pursue her, and we dated like the most ordinary couples. We ate in the most ordinary roadside stalls. There was no luxury, no elegance, no flattery, but full of happiness." Lin Yuhui seemed to imagine the happy time, with a smile on his face. Perhaps he thought of something else, the smile on his face disappeared the next moment.

"I didn't tell her that I was married, had a wife, and a son, but in the end, she knew about it. She left behind a letter the day before we were going to register. Then I learned that your mother had been looking for someone to check on me and went to see Mu Mu's mother when I was going to marry her. I know your mother is a proud person. She allowed me to spend time with other women outside but couldn't tolerate me marrying them. She thought it was an insult to her. I have been asking people to help me find Mu Mu's mother and finally found her. Then I also found out that she was pregnant. However, she did not want to come back with me. How could a kind person like her allow herself to be a person who destroys other people's family?"

"She forbids me to appear in front of her; otherwise, she will disappear again. So, I can only leave her alone. I was very happy when the baby was born, and I secretly went to see the wrinkled and small baby. He was not as good looking as his mother, but I like him very much."

"At that time, you can't imagine how hard it was for a single mother to raise a child, but I could only watch helplessly. She was too stubborn; she didn't even want Lin Mu to know that there is a father like me. If it wasn't because she is seriously ill and dying soon, she definitely didn't want Lin Mu to have anything to do with the Lin family."

"Everything is my fault. I lied to that beautiful and kind woman, and in the end, I couldn't even save her dearest child. This is God's retribution. I should not lie to her; I should not make someone kind like her to be with me."

"I didn't expect you to kill him. After all, you have been so good to him, and you are the only person he cares about, but… haha," Lin Yuhui smiled sadly, "How could I forget that you are my son? Ah, I am such an unscrupulous person, how could you not be the same? But Mu Mu is not like me because he has a kind mother."

"It's all because of the will. I stupidly thought that you were an ambitious person like me, so you wouldn't like the Lin company. I know what you like best is success earned by your own ability. You are capable and courageous. Your own company is no worse than the Lin company. I don't have to worry about you at all, but Mumu is different. He seems to be living a life of isolation. I don't want him to work too hard before I die, so I want to leave him enough money for a lifetime. I got it wrong again… I underestimated my son!"

Lin Yu kept silent all the time.

"Just leave. I won't call the police to arrest you. After all, I have already lost a son. But don't come back again. I'm guilty towards Mu Mu and his mother; I will repay them in the next life. You go…" Lin Yuhui finished speaking the last sentence and closed his eyes. He was unwilling to face everything now, but he had to face it.

Lin Yu walked out of the room and closed the door, saying nothing from beginning to end. Stepping outside the villa and looking at the sky, he knew he was wrong, but he could do nothing about it anymore.

…

Lin Yu was lying on the hospital bed; he knew that his life had come to an end. In this life, he has not married anyone, has no lover, nor has he married a woman who is beneficial to his company like his father did. He knew that he had done the wrong thing that he regretted all his life. Everyone had to pay for what they did. He lived for more than seventy years now, it was too long, and this might be his punishment. How can it be a blessing to live alone for a long time in the world?

He still remembered what he said when his mother was about to die, but in fact, he also lost.

"Mu Mu, brother will compensate you in the next life."

Chapter 57 Silkworm

On the second day of the wedding, as everyone expected, none of the 4 females came out from their room.

It's already afternoon when Lin Mu woke up, and Patrik is not in the room. Although he slept for so long, his body still didn't have much strength. He tried to raise his arm—sigh, it's really laborious to do so. Although it didn't hurt as much as before, Lin Mu couldn't help gritting his teeth while looking at the bruises on his body and his obviously fatigued body.

"Patrik, you beast!"

Patrik heard Lin Mu scolding him as soon as he entered the living room. But he felt relieved from hearing the loud volume from Lin Mu. He walked quickly to the bedroom and looked at Lin Mu, who was lying on the bed with an animal skin pillow on his face, "Mu Mu, you woke up."

Lin Mu rolled his eyes. "Obviously."

Knowing that Lin Mu is still angry, Patrik must act obedient. He stepped forward and picked Lin Mu up carefully. Then he helped him(LM)to put on his long-sleeved T-shirt, admiring the fabric as usual. It was lightweight and warm, wearing on the body felt good. After helping Lin Mu put on the top, it's the bottom next. He lifted the quilt and looked at the traces he left all over Lin Mu's body. Patrik was delighted with his masterpiece.

Holding onto Lin Mu's underpants, Patrik doesn't want to let go every time he touches it. Such a small piece of cloth is covering Mu Mu's intimate place, and how it looked uneven1 on Lin Mu's body. Just from thinking about it makes his blood boiling.

Lin Mu watched Patrik holding his little underpants in a daze, and knew that this guy is thinking about something bad again. After all, it's his underpants, and it belonged to the 'opposite gender'. Lin Mu could feel his anger flaring up again, "PA-TR-IK!"

Patrik came back to his senses immediately and continue to help Lin Mu to put on his clothes. After that, he said. "Mu Mu, you should be hungry now. I made the fish porridge for you, and it has been warming on the fire, I will serve it for you."

Lin Mu nodded and replied like a young master, "En, go ahead."

Drinking the delicious fish porridge, Lin Mu sighed about Patrik's progress in his heart. Before this, he(P) didn't even know how to make porridge, but now his cooking skill has reached this level; what a good learner!

Lin Mu was really hungry. He drank two small bowls of porridge before stopping, "I want to drink egg soup at night."

"Alright."

"I want to eat chicken chops."

"En… let's not eat this for now."

"No!" He has suffered so much, and he couldn't even eat what he wanted, felt wronged.

Seeing Lin Mu's aggrieved look, Patrik compromised, "You can only eat a little bit, and it cannot be spicy."

A little bit is better than nothing. As for his beloved chilli, if his body doesn't allow it, he should say goodbye to the chilli for a while. It seems that Lin Mu shouldn't let Patrik do 'it' so frequently, this time he should let him 'fast'2 for a week.

Didn't know that he had been set to fast, Patrik saw Lin Mu acting obediently and did not ask for chilli, so he went out and brought him a fruit plate. As for his usual snack, braised pork jerky, he can't eat it for the time being.

"Mu Mu, you should rest at home first. I'll catch some chickens for you. Do you want to drink fish soup? Should I catch a fish by the way?"

"Alright."

After Patrik went out, Lin Mu boredly chewed a piece of fruit in his mouth while muttering, "Chicken chop, chicken chop, if only there is cumin. When can cumin be found?"

When Lin Mu is chewing on some fruits in boredom on the bed, Lais and the others are eating as well. Their situation is quite similar. Only Sasha is a bit miserable, but after asking Locke for a lot of food, he felt more comfortable. One could say that Sasha's request is relatively low, and this made Locke very happy. The worst outcome he predicted was Sasha ignoring him after the night. He even thought about the countermeasures, but what surprised him was he doesn't need to countermeasures. Except for scolding him viciously, Sasha did nothing else. As for providing food, letting their partner eat well is the least thing a beastman can do.

Therefore, Lin Mu and the others can only meet again the next day.

As usual, Lin Mu ran 5 laps around the square and then ran home to wipe his body briefly before he started eating breakfast. At this time, Patrik's breakfast has just finished cooking. Actually, Patrik's breakfast was quite effortlessly. Breakfast is usually meat porridge or just porridge, plus the pancakes Lin Mu made previously, so breakfast is easy to prepare. As for Patrik, who needs a lot of meat, well he can grill his own meat. Lin Mu didn't want to put too much effort into making breakfast. In the past, the beastmen don't eat breakfast. Lin Mu felt that it's fine as long as he can feed Patrik enough for lunch and dinner. Yes, he(LM) is still a good life partner.

Soon after Lin Mu finished eating, Lais and the others came to see him. It seems that everyone's physical strength has recovered quite well. Fortunately, they are not in his world. Otherwise, people will laugh themselves to death upon hearing they cannot get out of bed from the 'exercise'.

Patrik saw that the females have arrived and Lin Mu has someone to accompany him now. Lowering his head, he kissed Lin Mu and said, "Mu Mu, I'll go out to hunt. You accompany them here, I will be back before noon."

Lin Mu accepted Patrik's kiss naturally and said, "Don't worry about us. We might go out today too."

"Then remember to let the beastman on duty to accompany you."

Lin Mu nodded.

Now that everyone lives separately, they don't take turns hunting as before. The beastmen goes out hunting every day. But for safety's sake, a few beastman will stay behind in the tribe. Those who go out hunting will distribute some food to the beastman on duty, and the beastman on duty has the task to accompany the female out to gather food.

Phil asked, "Lin Mu, are we still going up the mountain today?"

"En, I haven't been to many places. But we can go to a closer place this time so that we can be back at noon."

Sasha smiled and said, "We know, you are coming back to cook for the tribe leader, right?"

"What about it, don't you guys do it as well?"

Sasha: "I get Locke to do it most of the time. I will cook when I want to do it."

"Hey, a foodie asking a beastman with poor cooking skills to cook for you, isn't that very hard on you?" Lin Mu deliberately shook his head in sorrow.

"It's just because he is not good at cooking that he needs to practice more. Didn't you say that cooking gets better from practice? Actually, I want Locke to learn cooking with you, how about it? Lin Mu, please teach Locke to cook. I will be a happy female after he learns it well."

Lin Mu lowered his head to think about Sasha's remarks and felt that it made sense. Should he teach Patrik as well and enjoy himself? Lin Mu thought about it and dismissed the idea. There is nothing to do in this world. If he doesn't even need to cook, then won't he be bored to death? After dismissing the sadness of the days without computers, internet, and novels, he nodded to Sasha, "I'll teach him. If he really doesn't learn well, you can't blame me. After all, cooking depends on talent."

Seeing Lin Mu agreed, Sasha happily patted his shoulder and said, "It's fine." Then he asked the other two people who had been watching them, "Do you want to send your own beastman to Lin Mu to learn how to cook?"

Both of them shook their heads and said they don't need to; both of them like cooking.

Lin Mu went to the storage room and took out his back basket. "Let's go, Lal is on duty today. We can ask him to accompany us to the mountain, and we can sit on his beast form, which is faster." Whether Lal wants it or not. Yes, Lin Mu firmly believes that Lal is a 'female' just like him, so there is nothing wrong to sit on his beast form. Though, he definitely cannot let Lal know about this.

Sasha agreed, "Although Lal's beast form is hideous, I will reluctantly bear with it."

Fortunately, Lal is not here. Otherwise, he would be sad to hear Sasha's words. How can you dislike other people's beast form like that? At least be reserved a bit.

Lais and Phil only smiled and nodded.

Seeing that they all agreed to sit on Lal's beast form, Lin Mu thought to himself, 'As expected, everyone has the same thought as mine.' No one would believe that Lal can be the one 'on top'. That Cohen is obviously black-bellied, so how can the simple guy Lal be his opponent?

Lal's speed is not very fast, but he was stable, allowing the people on his back to be able to chat easily. The place they went this time is the northern mountain, where they didn't often go because the mountain roads there were not easy to walk. Moreover, they didn't find any new thing previously, so few people came to this side. But this time with Lal's help, their trip is more relaxed. The northern mountain was not small. Previously, they used to walk along the road that Lal opened up for them, but this time they decided to let Lal open a new path.

"Be careful." Lal reminded them as grasses fly everywhere from his cuttings.

"Don't worry."

They saw a lot of fruit trees along the way, and they noted the location so that they can return to pick some on the way back. Right now, they don't need a lot of fruits. After all, the beastmen don't eat much, and the females can't eat them all. It is better to eat the fruits fresh, and their beastman picks some fruits back for them every day.

Lin Mu raised his head and looked at the tall tree in front of him. Tall trees are not uncommon in the forest, but Lin Mu couldn't look away from this tree. Because the trunk of the tree is covered with cocoons.

Seeing Lin Mu is not leaving, everyone looked at him curiously.

Lal saw Lin Mu staring at the tree with a surprised look and asked, "Lin Mu, what's there to see?"

Sasha also leaned in and said, "Yeah, Lin Mu, you haven't seen a tree before? Let's go, I want to find something new, and it's best if it's something that can be eaten."

Lin Mu ignored Sasha. He pointed to the cocoon on the tree and asked Lal, "What is that?"

"That's a cocoon," Lal said and threw a weird look at Lin Mu.

"The cocoon of what?"

Lal: "The cocoon of insect beast."

Hearing Lal's answer, Lin Mu's face turned into 囧, "Why do you call all animals a beast?"

"Why can't they be called beasts? They are beasts."

Lin Mu didn't want to argue with Lal, so he turned to ask Lais. In his opinion, Lais is more reliable, "How much do you know about this insect?"

Lais thought for a moment, "I only know that insects like to eat the leaves of this tree. They originally looked like a kind of strips, but at this time in autumn, they will start to form cocoons. After a while, they will break out and became a winged beast. There are usually a lot of them and very annoying, but their lifespan is not long and will die soon after laying eggs. Because they can't be eaten, we don't pay much attention to them."

Lin Mu listened to Lais's words and looked at the cocoons the size of a football, "It looks like a silkworm, but of course, it might be other insects." As for what it is, they have to take it back and have a look.

"Lal, pick 3 off for me. I want white, yellow and pink." The cocoons here only have 3 colours.

Lal asked, "What do you want them to do?" Although he asked that, he still went forward and picked 3 of them and put them in Lin Mu's basket.

Phil: "Lin Mu, why do you want a bug?"

Lin Mu smiled mysteriously, "It's not certain now."

They continued to move forward, and their harvest is good. They found a lot of condiments, such as sesame pepper and Chinese pepper. When they came across a small patch of garlic, everyone picked some and divided it. Right now, everyone is aware of the benefits of spring onion, ginger and garlic. They will pick some every time they found some. Of course, they will not take all, as they have to leave some to grow for the next year to eat.

Lin Mu thought about going back and throwing the garlic in the water so the leaves could continue to grow. After picking some fruit, everyone set back to their home.

Chapter 58 Silkworm

[Banana: This chapter is about eating silkworm, so be prepared. And if you need more information, HERE]

After Lin Mu returned home, he started to organize today's harvest. All the garlic he found was put to dry in the yard, and Lin Mu plans to search for more. Patrik likes to eat grilled meat with garlic. However, it leaves quite some smell in the mouth after eating, so Patrik was a little hesitant to eat more, even though he likes it very much. Of course, after Lin Mu discovered an ingredient that could be made into a tea and remove the garlic smell in the mouth, Patrik has no qualms about eating garlic anymore.

Lin Mu looked at the garlic drying in the yard and thought of the ones still stored in the storage room. En, although they don't have much in hand, it was enough for both of them to eat. Now the most important thing is to plan out future plantings. Lin Mu plans to grow some vegetables for next year's consumption. No doubt, garlic is one of the vegetables on the list. He washed the freshly picked fruits with water and placed them in the fruit bowl. Then, he placed the fruit bowl on the stone table in the yard. Next, Lin Mu began to study the cocoons he brought back.

Each cocoon is about the size of a rugby ball. Lin Mu tore off the silk the cocoon used to fix itself on the tree. Looking at the tightly entwined cocoon, Lin Mu thought that maybe he could check if the thread was strong enough and suitable for making clothing. Well, he could still use it even if it is not silk… probably. Thinking to peel the cocoon, Lin Mu put the cocoon in the basket and muttered, "I think I have to soak it in hot water?" He thought for a while and made a decision, "Welp, I have 3 cocoons to experiment with anyway." He should just do however he wants. And so, Lin Mu started to boil water in the kitchen.

[Banana: Here's a part of how to process the silkworm]

When Patrik came back, he didn't see Lin Mu in the yard. There was smoke coming from the kitchen, which means someone is cooking in the kitchen. Lin Mu said it before that a bustling life like this is the real life; peaceful and free. Patrik still remembers the happy expression on Lin Mu's face when he said these words as if this kind of life had always been what he had hoped for, and now his wish has come true. Patrik knew that the place Lin Mu used to stay was very good, material-wise, but he also knew that Lin Mu is not happy there. Knowing that Patrik did not ask Lin Mu how his previous life was like and what happened that caused him to appear alone in the forest. He wanted to wait for Lin Mu to open up to him one day. It's fine even if Lin Mu wouldn't tell him in the end, because he knew that their current life now is what makes Lin Mu happy. And that is the most important thing.

Patrik took the food into the kitchen and saw Lin Mu doing something strange.

"Mu Mu, what are you doing?"

Patrik looked at Lin Mu holding a wooden stick and kept tangling some strings. He looked at the things in the tub with some uncertainty and asked, "Is this an insect beast?"

Lin Mu nodded and said happily, "En, I have an idea, but I'm couldn't be sure if it can be done."

Patrik knows that Lin Mu always has a lot of strange and useful ideas in his mind. People would usually throw away the cocoon of this insect beast because, seriously, both the insect beast and the outer shell are really unpopular. No females would touch it; even the insect beast's appearance after it emerged from its cocoon is still undesirable. Placing the meat he hunted on the wooden table, Patrik reached out to take the stick in Lin Mu's hand, "I'll do it; you can go and take a rest."

The expression 囧 appeared on Lin Mu's face, "I barely started doing anything. All I did was just boiling some water." But he still handed the stick over because he couldn't ignore Patrik's outstretched hand and leave him hanging there.

Seeing Lin Mu compromised, Patrik smiled and said, "You have gone to the mountain today, so you should rest."

Lin Mu sat down on one of the stools and watched Patrik swirl the stick. "Actually, I didn't use much strength to go up and down the mountain. We went up the mountain on Lal's beast form."

Lin Mu could see Patrik paused for a moment when he said that, but he(P) didn't say anything. Lin Mu felt that he had to talk to Patrik about his thoughts, "Patrik, will you be angry because I sat on Lal's beast form?"

"How can I be angry with Mu Mu? No, I'm not angry." Patrik looked up at Lin Mu and said with a smile.

Lin Mu curled his lips, "Of course you won't be angry with me, but are you unhappy?"

Patrik thought for a while, "If it's Lal, then no."

"Patrik, to be honest, I think this kind of thinking is wrong, that female sitting on another beastman's beast form is an insult to their own partner."

"En?" Patrik smiled at the person sitting across from him, "This rule has been going on for a long time. Beastman is more sensitive to smells, and they are very possessive of their own female. Naturally, they cannot tolerate having other beastman's scent on their female. Is there anything wrong with it?"

Lin Mu thought for a while, "You can't be completely wrong, but it depends on the situation. For example, if I am in danger one day, and I can only be saved by sitting on another beastman. You are not here, then I…"

Patrik didn't wait for Lin Mu to finish but looked at him seriously and said, "Mu Mu, I won't let you encounter that kind of situation. I will always be by your side and will not leave you alone. I will always be here."

Lin Mu was a little embarrassed by Patrik's words and said, "I said if."

"Although I said that I would not let Mu Mu be in danger, your thinking is also right. These rules still depend on the situation. Maybe we should tell our tribe that under special circumstances, we can temporarily set the rules aside. It's more important to save our females."

Lin Mu felt that it's a good idea. He will only sit on Patrik's beast form if not under special circumstances.

"It's done." Patrik's words reminded Lin Mu that he has finished untangling all three cocoons.

Patrik looked at the chrysalis in the tub, and he fished it out to throw it away.

Lin Mu saw his actions and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Of course to throw these away."

"Keep it first." Lin Mu felt that if those were really silkworms, they could be eaten.

"Keep it?"

Seeing Patrik's confusion, Lin Mu lay down a leaf for Patrik to put the chrysalis before saying, "This thing might be edible."

"Edible?" Patrik couldn't help but wrinkle as he stared at the chrysalis the size of his fist. "Mu Mu, are you sure this kind of food can be eaten?" The truth was Patrik wanted to ask Lin Mu whether he dared to eat it. After all, females really hate insects. Moreover, he remembered seeing Lin Mu frowning when he saw other worms before this. That shows that Lin Mu also hated insects. Therefore, to hear Lin Mu saying to eat the… pupa, Patrik was stunned.

Lin Mu saw Patrik's look of disbelief and could only say, "Not sure yet."

"Let's cook it first." Lin Mu looked at the three really big chrysalides on the table, thinking that he doesn't want to be the guinea pig. Turning to look at Patrik, who is cutting meat behind him, Lin Mu shook his head (Patrik felt a chill running down his back). Patrik is his man; this wouldn't work.

"Forget it, I'll cook the chrysalis first. Whoever comes to find me later, I will let that person eat it." Hence, Lin Mu started cooking.

Overeating grilled meat can cause the body to get heaty. Unlike those beastmen with an abnormal body, Lin Mu needs to eat vegetables every day. Because Lin Mu's cooking is delicious, Patrik also likes Lin Mu's vegetable dishes. Of course, meat dishes are still the best. Under Lin Mu's firm request, Patrik will also eat some vegetables, provided that those vegetables have a meaty taste. But even with the meaty flavor, Patrik still thinks that greens are not what they should eat. After all, the beastmen don't think it tastes good no matter what, and the females like it very much. Doesn't it mean that vegetables are females' food? Grass and whatnots are really not what a beastman should eat.

Maybe because he went up and down the mountain today, Lin Mu ate more steamed buns and meat than usual. Talking about buns, Patrik readily accepted the buns, especially steamed buns (mantou). Patrik thinks that the taste is nice. Although meat buns are also his favorite, steamed buns are obviously his favorite. Maybe because Patrik really likes it, or perhaps it's due to Lin Mu's unusual love for steamed buns.

After lunch, the two sat in the living room and chatted for a while. Then they went to take a nap together. After a comfortable rest, Lin Mu woke up and saw Patrik looking at him. Lin Mu sat up and pulled at his arm, "Won't your arm feel numb? Next time when you wake up, you can gently pull out your hand."

Patrik raised his arm and said, "It's fine."

Patrik got up and went to check the animal skins that have been drying in the sun these days. And Lin Mu went back to the kitchen to deal with his 3 chrysalides. Thinking about it, he still doesn't know if the chrysalis can be eaten. Although Patrik said that this kind of food is not poisonous, no one knows how it tastes. So Lin Mu is not going to make anything too complicated; he is going to pan-fried them.

Lin Mu took out the stone slate used to make the steak and start heating the stone. After the slate turned hot, he brushed a layer of oil on it. Upon hearing the sizzling sound, Lin Mu placed the chrysalis on the slate and pressed it down with a wooden spatula. It didn't take long for a fragrant smell to waft out. When the chrysalides are almost finished, he sprinkled a little salt on them and stir them a few times. Right after he placed 1 chrysalis on the plate, he heard a familiar squeak from the door.

"Qiuqiu, why are you here today?" Lin Mu asked begrudgingly1.

Hearing Lin Mu's words, Qiuqiu immediately acted cute to make Lin Mu happy.

Lin Mu smiled and rubbed Qiuqiu's head, "Alright, alright, no need to act cute."

Seeing Lin Mu smiled, Qiuqiu felt relieved. It immediately pointed to the chrysalis that exuded the attractive fragrance, expressing that it wanted to eat that.

Lin Mu looked at Qiuqiu's actions and saw the longing in its little eyes. He immediately passed the chrysalis to Qiuqiu without guilt. Yup, he didn't force this guinea pig to eat it; Qiuqiu was the one who asked for the chrysalis.

When Casso came to find Qiuqiu, it saw Qiuqiu standing next to Lin Mu, waiting eagerly. Casso smelled the scent and thought that Lin Mu is making something delicious again, but then it saw the pupa on the stone slab. Casso shouted, "Can those be eaten?!"

Although Lin Mu couldn't understand what Casso is talking about, he could guess. They have been living together for quite some time now. They are intelligent creatures, and he could use logical thinking on them.

"This is delicious; I can give you half of it later." Half, yes. Qiuqiu, as the first guinea pig, naturally has the right to enjoy the whole chrysalis by itself. On the other hand, Lin Mu wanted to have a taste as well.

Patrik knows that Casso came as well, so he went to the kitchen after dealing with the animal skins. It happened that Lin Mu has started to eat the half of the chrysalis. Patrik couldn't help but walk up to him and asked, "You really want to eat that?"

"Casso confirmed that it is delicious."

Casso nodded; it still wanted to eat more.

Under Patrik's gaze, Lin Mu tried to take a bite of the chrysalis. "It's delicious!" It was chewy, very similar to the larva he had eaten back in his world. He immediately put it to Patrik's mouth, "Try it."

Patrik took a bite, and it was unexpectedly delicious. "I didn't expect the insect beast's pupae to be so delicious."

Lin Mu took another bite and nodded, "If its silk thread can be used, we shall rename it as silkworms."

"Silkworm?"

"En, silkworm's pupae can be eaten, and their silk can be made into clothes."

"Clothes? The same clothes as what you are wearing?"

"Even better. After all, my clothes only contain some cotton. I'm not living a luxurious life to casually wear silk."

"Squeak…" Qiuqiu tried to attract their attention.

Seeing Qiuqiu looking eager, Lin Mu knew what it is thinking without needing to ask. He stuffed the remaining chrysalis into Patrik's mouth and said under Qiuqiu's regretful look, "This is the pupa of an insect beast. If you want to eat it, go get a cocoon, and I will cook it for you."

The two little ones nodded immediately and ran out.

Patrik: "I'll go too."

Lin Mu thought for a while and nodded, "Sounds like a good idea. Then everyone can have a taste. Just pick enough for everyone to have one each. After all, it takes a lot of time to untangle them."

"Alright," Patrik said before going out.

Chapter 59 Knitting Part 1

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, coupled with Qiuqiu's excited squeak, Lin Mu hurriedly walked out of the room. When he arrived in the living room, he saw an amusing scene before his eyes.

Casso is carrying a back basket that was bigger than its body. Lin Mu could already see that the back basket is full of cocoons to the brim from a distance. The back basket looked shaky, and Casso awkwardly adjusted its walking posture in order to make back basket more stable, so the basket stayed put the whole journey. On the other hand, Qiuqiu followed behind Casso, carrying the mini basket Lin Mu made. Because the basket was too small, it could only put one cocoon it. However, Qiuqiu wanted to bring back more cocoons, so it held one in its paw. Just that with its small body and holding a 'rugby ball', walking is very laborious, but it did not affect Qiuqiu's happy mood in the slightest.

Lin Mu smiled and said, "My poor little guys, you have worked hard." Lin Mu helped Casso take down the basket, then took the pink cocoon from Qiuqiu's paw and its mini basket.

"For your hard work, I have decided…"

Both little ones stared at Lin Mu, looking forward to the reward.

Lin Mu lowered his body and patted their head lightly. Then he smiled and said, "I decide to let you eat two more."

"Only two…" Qiuqiu was a little disappointed.

"Miser!" Casso was a little dissatisfied.

Lin Mu ignored the two and happily went to boil water. Just as he walked to the kitchen door, he turned around and hooked his fingers to Casso and Qiuqiu, "Come here."

Although they were a little bit dissatisfied with Lin Mu for only letting them eat two more, but seeing Lin Mu calling them, the two immediately ran over happily. Because Lin Mu do this every time he wants to feed them. Please forgive Lin Mu for treating them as pets. How can Lin Mu stand it with these two furry little guys?

Lin Mu took some of his braised meat and placed the bowl of meat on the stool for them to eat. Casso stood below the stool while Qiuqiu stood on the stool. It took a large slice from the bowl and handed it to Casso's mouth, before taking a slice for itself.

"Squeak…" So delicious…

Casso nodded, "Wuu…" It is super delicious!

Qiuqiu picked another large slice for Casso, "Squeak…" My master made delicious food. Unlike your father, nothing he made is edible other than grilled meat.

Casso nodded in agreement, "Wuu…" Can't help it, one can't expect too much from a beastman's cooking skills.

"Squeak! Squeak…" No way! You have to be a beastman with good cooking skills. You can't follow your father's footsteps. You have to learn and observe from my master's cooking skills. If your cooking skills are not good, I will not be with you in the future!

Qiuqiu is an authentic foodie, after all.

"Wuu~~" Qiuqiu, I will try my best to learn. You must stay with me, you can't abandon this beast~

While waiting for the water to boil, Lin Mu watched the two eating and chatting. Amused, Lin Mu thought in his heart, "It's amazing that these two can chat so happily when there's a language barrier between them…"

Lin Mu had just finished boiling when Patrik came back.

Patrik's harvest is more than Casso's; 2 big baskets full. Patrik's baskets are way taller than Casso's basket. Seeing so many cocoons, Lin Mu asked with some worry, "Don't tell me you picked all the cocoons from the tree?"

Patrik shook his head and said, "This was picked from a few trees, I left a lot for their reproduction."

Lin Mu felt relieved when Patrik said this.

"Then, help me to untangle the silk."

Patrik wants to help and even wants to take over the task, so he said, "Mu Mu, leave it to me, you can prepare dinner."

"Dinner?" Lin Mu looked at the sky, though it is earlier than usual, but thinking that it would be better to cook earlier today, he simmered the chicken that Patrik brought back at noon. Chicken soup is good for the body. Looking at the two little ones happily eating at the side, Lin Mu concluded that they will be staying for dinner tonight for sure.

Hence, Lin Mu is going to make chicken noodles. In the past, Lin Mu rarely made it because Patrik didn't like to eat noodles. Today, since an omnivorous animal, Qiuqiu, came together with Casso who can accept eating noodles, Lin Mu decided to make it tonight.

Lin Mu likes to use eggs in the noodles when making hand-rolled noodles. The noodles produced in this way are firm. Not only it's delicious to eat with soup, but also suitable for eating with hotpot. After Lin Mu prepared the noodles, he looked at Patrik who is still untangling the silk. He decided to cook some meat dishes for Patrik and also fry some meat patties.

"Qiuqiu, I have meat patty and chicken noodles today, are you happy?"

"Squeak…" It likes anything as long as it tastes good.

Lin Mu washes the fresh meat, then cuts it into cubes and slices. Setting the fresh meat aside, he cut the braised meat into pieces to make a cold dish. After adjusting the taste, he asked, "Patrik, would you like to taste?"

Lin Mu fed him with chopsticks, "How about the salt?"

"Just right."

"That's good." Lin Mu said as he turned around and saw the two behind him looking at him with longing eyes.

"Don't worry, there is your portion as well." With a smile, he took out a big wooden bowl and filled it with some meat, "You can't eat so much. There will be delicious food later, so you need to save some space in your stomach."

The two nodded and started to eat. Although it is a cold dish1, Lin Mu does cook better than other people.

…

After eating a bowl of hot shredded chicken noodles, Lin Mu felt quite full. He lowered his head to see two little ones staring at him.

"I just finished eating lunch, can you let me rest for a while?" Lin Mu negotiated.

The two nodded, although they really wanted to have cocoons to eat right away, but seeing Lin Mu's lazily resting in Patrik's arms after eating, the two decided to wait for a while. Just that their stares were too obvious. Casso pulled the blanket for resting further away from the two adults. In its mind, it thought their tribe leader would be happier if they stay away from Lin Mu.

After a short rest, Lin Mu stood up and went to a wooden barrel. It was filled with silkworm pupae. Oh well, there will be enough left for them to eat after everyone tried it. Lin Mu decided to pan-fry most of the silkworm on a stone slate, while the rest will be used to make a stir-fry.

"Patrik, come and help me."

Seeing that the sky is turning dark soon, Lin Mu said, "Patrik, take a larger stone slab to pan-fry the worm pupae so that it will be faster to cook more. I will make stir-fry silkworm pupae for you to eat." Lin Mu still feels that it should be called silkworm since it's edible.

Patrik nodded with a smile and started to heat the stone slate. The other two foodies who could not help with the cooking lay comfortably on the blankets waiting for the food to be cooked.

Qiuqiu lay on the blanket with two paws resting on its chubby belly. Humming comfortably, it thought to itself, "My master cooks delicious food, but it's a pity that I can't come to eat it often. Ai… beastman's possessiveness is too much. I'm just an ordinary pet ah…"

Casso: "Qiuqiu, I'm so full."

"Squeak…" If you are full, give me all your silkworm later, Qiuqiu said very quietly.

Casso replied quietly, "Alright but you have to leave 2 for me2."

Qiuqiu nodded in agreement.

Casso asked in a low voice, "Aren't you full? I saw that you ate a lot just now."

"I am full, but I can wait until I'm not full anymore to continue eating." The two spoke very quietly with their heads next to each other, really cute however one look at them.

Casso's nose twitched, "It smells good!"

The two stood up immediately and ran towards the kitchen. The stone slab was lined with pupae, and Lin Mu was standing in front of the stove flipping something with the spatula. The two little ones stood obediently in front of the slate and watched Patrik turned the silkworm one by one. They were almost drooling, and they didn't get Patrik's mercy at all.

Looking at the two gluttons, Patrik was happy on the inside, but he didn't show it on his face. He sprinkled the spices evenly on the pupa to make its fragrance stronger. On the other side, Lin Mu took the silkworm pupa out of the pan and then saw two looking pitifully at Patrik holding a plate with silkworm pupa in his hand. Patrik didn't intend to feed them and wrapped the silkworm with leaves before putting them in the basket. Both of them grunted in disappointment as they watched the silkworm being packed up.

Lin Mu felt that they looked funny and divided out some of the stir fry silkworms. He set 2 portions and said, "1 serving for each of you. Qiuqiu, you can't bully Casso so don't eat his share."

Qiuqiu nodded embarrassedly.

Lin Mu put their silkworm in a cloth bag and hung it around Casso's neck. Then he gave them a back basket and instructed, "Distribute these to everyone in the tribe, one each."

The two nodded and left happily.

Chapter 59 Knitting Part 2

Looking at the two little ones eating cheerfully, Lin Mu couldn't help shaking his head, "What an easily satisfied little thing."

"For beastman, they will be satisfied as long as they have food and a partner to accompany him for a lifetime."

Hearing that, Lin Mu said with a smile, "That means you are very satisfied now?"

"En, very satisfied. Let's us try your silkworm stir fry."

"En, I want to eat it too." While holding the plate, "Go, let's go to the living room."

…

After the meal, Lin Mu lay on the bed and rubbed his full belly. So Patrik pulled Lin Mu to help him rub his belly. He said helplessly, "Why eat so much? Now, it makes you uncomfortable."

"It's delicious. Although it doesn't taste very similar to the silkworm I tasted before, it's really delicious. I wonder if the threads can be used because they are much thicker than normal silk."

Lin Mu crawled out of Patrik's arms and took the silk he drawn from the first 3 cocoons from the bedside. These silks were already dry, but the texture doesn't feel slippery like ordinary silk. Lin Mu handed the silk thread to Patrik, "I remember that silk is very thin, no thicker than a hair, but 3 strands of these silk threads are thick enough to be used to knit sweaters." Then he pulled the silk thread and felt that the toughness is good.

"Sweater?" Patrik touched the silk threads, wondering what they could do with them.

Lin Mu see Patrik's curiosity and explained, "A sweater is a kind of warmer clothes that we wear in autumn and winter."

"Hmm, sweaters huh…" An idea suddenly flashed in Lin Mu's mind. But even making clothing is a problem for him. After all, he knew very little. It would be unrealistic for him to make a loom, but sweaters should be plausible. The knitting method can be used for reference.

"But, I don't know how to knit sweaters ah… How annoying."

Patrik saw Lin Mu getting upset suddenly and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lin Mu: "I don't know how to make clothing, so I thought about knitting sweaters, but unfortunately, I don't know how to do so. After all, knitting is usually done by females."

Patrik: "Don't worry, there will always be ways. Clothing is such a good thing; we must be able to make it. You can work out ways with the people in the tribe, let everyone thinks of a way together."

Lin Mu: "En, everyone is so smart, we can definitely figure out a way."

Patrik: "Let's go to bed early. Tomorrow you can go to study the method of knitting with them. Don't worry; we will definitely be able to make the cloth."

Lin Mu: "En, all right."

The next morning, Lin Mu was awakened by Sasha's voice. When he got up and walked out the door, he saw Sasha waiting in the living room. But the said person stared at him with a little bit of resentment in his eyes. A shiver ran down Lin Mu's back. In his mind, he quickly ran through his memories, but it didn't seem like he didn't anything wrong to Sasha lately, so why is Sasha staring at him as if he bullied him?

"What's the matter?" Lin Mu asked Patrik who happened to bring water in.

"The disaster caused by the silkworm."

Hearing the word silkworm, Sasha immediately said, "Lin Mu, you are so mean. The silkworm pupa is so delicious, but you only gave me one. Do you want me to die from the craving?"

Lin Mu waved his hand immediately, "I didn't mean that. The silkworm pupae were not enough."

"Haha, it doesn't matter. After Locke found out that it's the insect beast's cocoon, I have already asked him to pick it for me. You have to teach me how to cook it."

Lin Mu sighed while washing his face. Sasha is really enthusiastic about eating. Because if not for this matter, he(S) would still be sleeping at this moment. Wiping his face, he asked, "You came so early. Have you eaten breakfast yet?"

Sasha shook his head, "No, I plan to bump a meal1 from you."

The answer was as expected to Lin Mu.

After breakfast, Lais and the other females also came. They said that they liked the taste of the silkworm too. At first, they didn't dare to eat it, but the taste was unexpectedly good, so they asked their beastman partner to help pick some back. Of course, their reaction to the silkworm was not as strong as Sasha's reaction. Lin Mu brought some fruits and melon seeds to serve them. Seeing that Misha also came to express his liking, Lin Mu started to panic, thinking that everyone might pick the cocoons clean at this rate. He expressed his worries, and the females assured him not to worry. They knew to leave enough cocoons for the insects to reproduce.

Since they understood that, Lin Mu is relieved. Then he said, "Actually, I also have something to discuss with your all."

The females looked at Lin Mu questioningly.

"In fact, not only the pupa in the cocoon of this insect beast can be eaten, but their cocoon shell is also very useful."

"What's the use?"

Lin Mu took out the ball of thread he has rolled into a ball and showed it to them, "This is the silk drawn from the cocoon."

The females looked at the 3 different silk thread colors. Lais said, "This thread, we can use it to sew clothes."

The others nodded in agreement, "It seems to be more convenient to use."

Lin Mu smiled and said, "It's not just these. If we can figure out a way to knit them into cloth, we can also use them to make clothing. The clothes on my body are made of cloth."

"The cloth on your body is made of these threads?"

Lin Mu nodded, "Actually if you look closely, you can find that my clothes are made of dense threads."

The females tugged at Lin Mu's clothes and looked at it carefully. (How did Lin Mu end up in this awkward moment?)2 Next, everyone said at the same time, "It's really all threads, but it's a lot thinner. So thin. How to make it? That person must be very skillful."

Lin Mu really wanted to tell them that it's all thanks to machines. But to prevent them from saying, 'This person called Machine is really amazing', Lin Mu decided to move on to the next topic.

"If we figure out a way to weave these threads into cloth, everyone will be able to wear this kind of clothes in the future."

"Really?!" Phil was delighted, thinking about being able to wear the same clothes as Lin Mu.

"Then Lin Mu, what should we do?" Lais asked.

Misha also actively expressed that he would help, "I also want to wear clothes made of cloth."

Lin Mu told them his thoughts, and then took out 2 knitting needles made of bamboo, "The people from my place used this kind needles to knit sweaters, but I can't knit. So we should study the way together; maybe we can figure out the way to knit ourselves."

So in the following days, everyone held 2 knitting needles and threads, constantly studying how to knit. It has been a week, but their knitting plan has not made any progress. Lin Mu stared at the cloth with a hole which he didn't know how it got there, and threw it on the table in frustration, "It's too hard, I don't know how to knit."

Patrik put the things away and rubbed Lin Mu's head, "It's okay; we have time."

"I thought everyone could wear clothes made of cloth before it snows. I don't know if it can be realized."

"Lin Mu! Lin Mu…"

Sasha's cheerful voice came from outside the door. Lin Mu didn't know what was going on, but he quickly walked out of the house. He saw Sasha waving the contents in his hand while running to him, "Lin Mu, look."

Lin Mu held a small piece of cloth in his hand. Although the texture was not very neat and it was only a small piece, he couldn't help but be excited, "It's worked! Hahaha… It worked!"

Lin Mu happily hugged Sasha while laughing and jumping in excitement. Then Lin Mu held the small piece of cloth excitedly, "Patrik, look, we found the way!"

Patrik smiled and nodded; he was very excited as well. This is a significant success.

Smiling, Lin Mu said to Sasha, "Sasha, you are so amazing. You even found a way to knit."

Sasha quickly clarified, "I didn't make this; it was Lais. But I ran faster than him, so Lais asked me to tell you first." Then he scratched his hair embarrassedly.

Lin Mu smiled. Right now, their knitting plan finally has a good start.

In the following days, the females were busy knitting. In their opinion, the day when they can wear cloth clothes is not far away.

Chapter 60 Female

Flying in the sky, Ryan looked down from time to time looking for prey. At the same time, he needs to search for hunting areas that don't belong to other tribes. Everyone doesn't go out hunting together anymore ever since they started to live separately. Except in the morning where they would go hunting together and share some of their prey with the beastmen who stayed in the tribe as guards. At other times, everyone is free to arrange their own schedule. After all, everyone has different things to do. Hence, by the time you need to go hunting, you may not be able to find anyone who happens to be hunting together.

According to the rules of their tribe, only the prey from the morning group hunt needs to be shared with the beastman who stayed behind. Anything they hunt during their free time belongs to them. On the other hand, females own all the food they collected and there is no need to share it unless they took the initiative to gift it.

In the past, Ryan would always be accompanied by Howth, but now it's different. When everyone started to live separately, Howth had already started living with Ba-Ao. This result surprised many people, but as an older brother, Ryan naturally saw the ambiguity between the two of them earlier than others. Ryan knows that his younger brother, Howth is a very proud person. If he found anyone that is not pleasing to the eye, he won't even give that person a look. However, he(H) unusually targetted Ba-Ao at every chance he gets. Although at first, Ryan thought it might be because of his(R) attitude towards Ba-Ao, which makes Howth thought Ba-Ao had taken his attention away from him(H) and that made him(H) very angry. This may be the reason at the beginning, but gradually it became different. Maybe even Howth himself didn't realize how different he treated Ba-Ao.

His brother getting together with a beastman, it would be a lie if Ryan said that he didn't feel sad. After all, them brothers have not been separated since that incident. They are dependent on each other and are the backbone of each other. But Ryan will not prevent Howth from looking for his other half, although it is a bit uncomfortable that Howth's partner is a beastman. It is not because he minds 2 beastman getting together. After all, there are far fewer females than beastman in the continent. Some beastman would find another beastman as their partner, this is common. But Howth is his own brother, so Ryan felt that his excellent Howth should find a female as a partner instead, not a bear.

Of course, Ryan still supports his brother's choice. This is his respect for Howth.

Today Howth stayed in the tribe, and it was Ba-Ao's turn to hunt. But because Ba-Ao is going out at a different time from him, Ryan did not go with him. And now, flying over the forest by himself, Ryan felt a bit lonely. He couldn't help thinking, "Should I also go find a companion? But I only like soft females. And the only single female in the tribe is underage, who may have already wooed by Casso1. Sigh… Females are really treasures that are hard to find."

Ryan decided to put this problem aside. First, he must settle his food problem, it's an easier task. As for getting a female, Ryan sighed in his heart, "I hope that the beast god will let me pick up a female home, like Locke and others someday. Sigh, I really envy them!"

Carefully checking the places passing by under him, Ryan planned to catch a larger animal, so that it would cover his dinner as well. Luckily, he encountered a group of moo moo beasts2 drinking water and he easily killed one. When he is about to clean his prey by the water, a roar that resounded through the forest could be heard.

Ryan stopped cleaning and looked in the direction of the sound, "I wonder who is so unlucky to encounter the dragon beast!"

The dragon beast is very cruel. It looks like a legendary dinosaur3 and has a violent personality. A careless mistake can easily anger it. The most chilling thing about this beast is not its skin that is hard as iron. It was its fierceness that it needs to tear you apart no matter what. That means if a beastman angered a dragon beast, the usual result is to be killed by it. Because the dragon beast has a persistent personality, even if the beastman runs away, it will keep chasing the beastman for a long time. It has a strong sense of smell so unless you can hide from its nose or you manage to kill the dragon beast, you will die. On the other hand, the dragon beast has a characteristic. That is if you can run away without angering it, it won't bother you, except when it finds you interesting.

Finally, Ryan decided to check it out. To let a beastman die and not give a helping hand is somewhat psychologically traumatic. Reason is one thing, conscience is another. Hence, he pulled some grass by the river. This grass is called smelly grass. As the name suggests, this kind of grass is very smelly. Ryan squeezed out the juice and smeared it on his body to cover up his own smell. But towards beastman who is sensitive to smell, the smelly grass is a great torture.

Ryan threw the smelly grass away disgustingly, and then quickly flew in the direction of the roar, silently hoping in his heart that he is not too late. But still, he couldn't help complaining, "I really don't know which idiot went to provoke the dragon beast."

When Ryan arrived, he saw a golden lion being bitten at the neck by a dragon beast. Ryan frowned. The beastman's hope for life is not great. When Ryan is about to fly away quietly, his eyes glimpsed something a short distance away. He couldn't believe that there is a female not far away from the dragon beast. The female was lying motionless on the ground and Ryan didn't know what happened. This discovery shocked Ryan so much that he has cold sweats. Without the slightest hesitation, he flew to the female quickly, picked the person up, and swiftly escaped with his fastest speed.

"ROAR…" Its trophy has gotten snatched away, the dragon beast is very angry. It tore the lion's carcass into pieces before flinging it away like garbage. Then it immediately went after the stinky disgusting beastman.

Ryan flies very fast. Although the dragon beast can't catch up with him at his speed, he dare not relax at all. He even picked a lot of stinky grass on the way and threw some in all directions to interfere with the dragon beast's sense. He did not dare to return to the tribe immediately, fearing that it would harm the tribe. After flying all night, Ryan found that the female showed no signs of waking up. This made him very worried. In this case, he had to hurry back to the tribe because he doesn't have any medical knowledge and didn't know how to save this female.

Stopping by the river for a while, Ryan carefully placed the female down. Although it was very dark, it didn't affect his eyesight. This female is very beautiful, with silver hair, a pointed chin, and a fair complexion. His appearance when sleeping is also lofty, but for some reason, his cheeks are red at the moment and he's cute. Ryan touched his forehead, "It's bad, his forehead is so hot. I have to hurry back to the tribe."

Ryan hurriedly took a shower to get rid of his stench before immediately head toward his tribe.

Lin Mu and Patrik were about to sleep when they heard someone knocking at the door. They looked at each other and both wondered who would come to them so late. Did something happen? Hurriedly opened the door, Lin Mu asked, "Lloyd, why are you looking for us so late?"

Lloyd looked at them and said solemnly, "Ryan brought back a sick female."

"Female!" Lin Mu exclaimed happily.

Can one not be happy? Most of their tribe members are single males and females are so scarce. Before drifter beastmen can be accepted by the public, it would be too difficult for them to find a female partner. They can't all get together with another beastman, there would always be some who doesn't like to have a g-hey relationship.

Patrik was also very happy to hear the news, but he was more reserved.

Lin Mu happily took Patrik's hand and said, "Let's go to see the new female. My God, I really don't know how you could have such good luck to pick up a rare female."

Patrik laughed after hearing Lin Mu's words. It shows that they have the beast god's favor.

They arrived at Phil's house. Phil's house does not have a courtyard wall but is surrounded by a fence. The specifications they built are similar to Lin Mu's house. It is a living room surrounded by rooms on both sides, plus a kitchen and a storage room, just that it's smaller than Lin Mu's house. Lin Mu walked into the storage room, which is also Phil's pharmacy so this room is meant for medical treatment. There are lights in the storage room which shows that there are people inside.

Ryan stayed by the bed. After Phil's treatment, the person on the bed looked much better, and at least his body temperature has gone down. According to Phil, the female will get better soon after drinking the medicine, so he felt more at ease. He was really worried that he came back too late and delayed the treatment because they ran into the dragon beast again on the way4. In order to avoid being discovered by the dragon beast, Ryan deliberately took many detours.

Lin Mu nodded at Phil as a greeting, and then gently came in to see the female sleeping on the bed. Seeing his appearance, Lin Mu sighed in his heart that he is really good-looking, just like the elves portrayed on the TV – aloof and distant. Looking at Ryan, who obviously has some feelings in his heart, Lin Mu silently prayed that Ryan's love path would not be too bumpy.

Following Lin Mu, Patrik furrowed his brows when he saw the person on the bed.

Lin Mu didn't notice Patrik's reaction. He took a closer look at the person who was asleep in the bed, and once again sighed that he is the most beautiful person he had ever seen. Patrik doesn't count because, in Lin Mu's mind, Patrik is handsome.

"Ryan, he should be having a fever. Feverish people will usually feel cold. It is better if you hug him to sleep at night." Isn't that what always shown on TV? Not only this method is good for expediting the condition, it's also good for Ryan to improve their relationship.

Lin Mu's words caught Ryan by surprise, but he did not doubt Lin Mu's words. After all, Lin Mu is a wise person in their hearts. He is only surprised because how could he offend a female like that? The other party didn't know him yet.

Lin Mu know what Ryan was thinking, so he deliberately said, "Of course, he still will be fine if you don't do that. It's just that he would suffer a bit."

When Patrik disapproved and wanted to stop them, Lin Mu simply smiled and pulled Patrik out. Outside, Lin Mu asked Phil about the patient's condition. Hearing that Phil said everything is alright, he was relieved.

In the room, Ryan was feeling complicated with Lin Mu's words. He didn't know if he should do that. Beastman respects females very much and never does things that force females. Now Lin Mu told him to hug someone to sleep. It would offend the female, but if he doesn't do that, the female would suffer. Hence, Ryan is very perplexed. It was until the person on the bed gro-an-ed uncomfortably that Ryan immediately stopped struggling with his decisions.

If it's offensive, then so be it. He will ask for forgiveness when the person wakes up. In the end, Ryan resolutely lay down on the bed.

In his sleep, Reila felt cold all over until a heat source appeared beside him. He couldn't help but lean against the heat source before he felt better and continue to sleep peacefully.

When that person approaches him, Ryan couldn't help tightening his muscles and stayed motionless. He didn't relax until he senses the other party is breathing evenly. This night, Ryan felt tortured and happy at the same time.
