Why was the Beast God here with Xiong Ye? And why was he acting like this?
Previously, when the Beast God told him to separate Xiong Ye and Shi Li, he thought that the Beast God liked Shi Li. So … the Beast God liked Xiong Ye?
The High Priest could not move at all. At this moment, Zhou Ji said excitedly, "I did not expect to see the High Priest here! I … I … "He looked as if he had seen his idol and was speechless.
The High Priest: "…" He always went to see the Beast God, but the Beast God would only say a few words to him and was not willing to see him … Why was he acting like this now?!
The High Priest felt like he was about to collapse. It was also at this moment that he noticed Zhou Ji giving him a look. At the same time, the energy that made him unable to speak or move disappeared.
The High Priest staggered.
"High Priest, what's wrong?" Xiong Ye was worried.
The High Priest covered his eyes. "I'm fine. I just don't feel well …"
"Do you want to take a rest? Let me support you? "Zhou Ji asked.
The High Priest rejected without thinking. "No need. I'm fine. I'm fine." How could he let the Beast God support him?!
He finally steadied himself, but when he looked at the two people in front of him, he felt a sense of disbelief.
The High Priest still did not look right … Xiong Ye said, "I'll call some people over."
The High Priest wanted to say "no need", but Zhou Ji said, "That's right. High Priest, you don't look well. Go back and rest."
The High Priest said, "Thank you. I'll go back and rest now."
Soon, someone came to support the High Priest. Xiong Ye asked, "High Priest, why are you here?"
"Nothing. I'm just taking a walk." The High Priest laughed dryly and covered his eyes again — he was afraid that he could not control his expression.
The High Priest was quickly supported away.
Xiong Ye felt that the High Priest was a little strange, but he did not think much of it. After the High Priest left, he looked at Zhou Ji. "Zhou Ji, you have work to do every day. Is it okay to come here all the time?"
Zhou Ji said, "It's okay. I've already done my work." Actually, Zhou Ji had wanted to pretend to be pitiful at the beginning, but he was not in a good condition.
Moreover, if he were to act too pitiful, it would be hard to explain in the future.
"That's good," Xiong Ye said.
Zhou Ji added, "I've already told the steward that I'm going to the big bear tribe. I've already delegated the work at hand to someone else … I'll bring ingredients to make fresh food for you tomorrow."
Xiong Ye agreed, "Alright, but you don't need to bring ingredients. I can get the Beast Divine Hall to prepare some."
Xiong Ye's requirements for the quality of life had never been as high as Lion Li's. For example, Lion Li loved to eat delicious food, but Xiong Ye had always felt that it was good enough to eat his fill.
However, after eating a lot of food brought by Zhou Ji these days, he suddenly changed his mind.
Xiong Ye suddenly understood why Lion Li wanted to eat delicious food. The food was really delicious!
Xiong Ye suddenly felt that even if Zhou Ji didn't know how to farm, it wouldn't be a bad idea to keep him by his side. He could afford to raise him anyway.
After discussing with Xiong Ye, Zhou Ji left and returned to his residence. As soon as he arrived, he saw the High Priest waiting in the courtyard.
Zhou Ji appeared in front of the High Priest.
"Your Holiness!" The High Priest immediately knelt down.
Zhou Ji used his energy to help him up. "No need to kneel."
"Your Holiness …" The High Priest wanted to say something but stopped.
Zhou Ji's face was expressionless. He looked at the High Priest and said, "During this Beast God Sacrificial Rite, you must remove the partnership between Xiong Ye and Lion Li."
"Yes, Your Holiness," the High Priest said.
"Arrange a different room for them," Zhou Ji said again.
"Yes, Your Holiness."
"Tomorrow, Xiong Ye will probably ask you not to send cooked food, but to directly send ingredients … Send the ingredients to me and come to me in the morning to get some ingredients."
"Yes, Your Holiness."
Zhou Ji instructed many things and conveniently explained his fabricated identity. Finally, he said, "You may leave."
"Yes, Your Holiness … Your Holiness, that Lion Li …" The High Priest looked at Zhou Ji.
"Just separate him from Xiong Ye. Don't worry about anything else," Zhou Ji said. Zhou Ji felt that Lion Li's actions were disgusting, but this was Xiong Ye's business. He shouldn't interfere.
If he interfered too much, it would be difficult to clean up the mess in the future.
"Yes, Your Holiness." The High Priest retreated.
After leaving Zhou Ji's place, the High Priest took a few deep breaths and felt that he was finally more clear-headed.
His Holiness the Beast God … actually took a liking to a Beast King.
However, why did His Holiness the Beast God take a liking to a man? If he took a liking to a woman, they might even have a Son of God in the future.
Many thoughts flashed through the High Priest's mind. He suddenly realized that this situation was better than the one the Beast God liked was Lion Li.
However, since the Beast God liked Xiong Ye … the High Priest, who had originally sympathized with Xiong Ye, now began to sympathize with Lion Li.
Of course, he didn't have the time to think too much now. He still had many things to do.
After leaving Zhou Ji's place, the High Priest immediately ordered people to arrange a new residence for Xiong Ye. He also called everyone in the Beast Divine Temple who knew of the Beast God's existence and had seen him before.
Among these people were the Beast Divine Temple's priests and two old Beast Kings.
The new Beast Kings in the past thirty years didn't know of Zhou Ji's existence. However, these two old Beast Kings had seen Zhou Ji many years ago.
According to Zhou Ji's instructions, the High Priest told them that Zhou Ji would conceal his identity and follow Xiong Ye. He also asked them to keep it a secret.
Everyone apart from the High Priest: "…" What did they hear? The Beast God who stayed in the temple all day was actually following a Beast King?
"Why did His Holiness do this? Is there something wrong with that Bear Beast King? "someone asked.
The High Priest felt that he couldn't embarrass the Beast God. Finally, he said, "You don't have to care about His Holiness's matters. His Holiness once said that we should take good care of the people of the big bear tribe. "
These people were a little puzzled. However, since the High Priest had said so … they all agreed.
At the same time, they couldn't help but be curious about the big bear tribe.
What ability did this big bear tribe have to make the Beast God treat them differently?
Also, they hadn't seen the Beast God for a long time. If there was a chance, they must meet him.
While the group of people was puzzled by the Beast God's actions, on the other side, Xiong Ye, who was about to sleep, welcomed the people from the Beast Divine Temple.
"What's the matter?" Xiong Ye asked.
"Hello, Bear Beast King. We're from the Beast Divine Temple. We're here to tell you that we've arranged another residence for you …" The leader of the high-level Beast Warriors was full of smiles.
"Why?" Xiong Ye asked.
"I'm not sure. It was the High Priest's orders," the man said.
"Should I move with Lion Li?" Xiong Ye asked again.
"No, only you will move. The Lion Beast King will still stay here," the man said again.
Xiong Ye was originally puzzled by the High Priest's actions. Now that he heard this, he understood.
Lion Li must have told the High Priest that he wanted to break off their partnership. That was why the High Priest did this.
Speaking of which … the High Priest's expression didn't look right when he came here. Could it be because of this?
Xiong Ye thought it through and asked, "Where's my new residence?"
"Over there. Bear Beast King, please," the man said.
Xiong Ye didn't bring much with him when he came to stay at the Beast Divine Temple. At this time, he grabbed a few pieces of his clothes and walked away. Soon, he was sent to a house some distance away from his previous residence.
This house was also some distance from the Beast Divine Temple. It was slightly remote, but the house was large and had a good environment. There were even several rooms.
"There aren't enough houses near the temple. I'll have to trouble the Bear Beast King to stay here," the high-level Beast Warrior said.
"It's very good here," Xiong Ye said. This place was really good. Although the location was a little remote, the house was much better than the one he had lived in before.
"It's good that the Bear Beast King likes it. This was originally the residence of the High Priest's family, but the bedding is new. Bear Beast King, feel free to use it," the man said again.
When Xiong Ye heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised. The Beast Divine Temple actually gave him the residence of the High Priest's family … Were they afraid that he would be unhappy?
Actually, he wouldn't be unhappy.
It was already dark. Xiong Ye let the man leave and entered the bedroom of the house.
This house had the smell of someone else. It had obviously been cleaned, so the smell was very faint. Not only that, but the bed, furniture, and quilts were all brand new.
The Beast Divine Temple was really considerate.
Xiong Ye had wandered outside for many years, so he had developed the habit of sleeping anywhere. He slept very well that night.
The next morning, he got up early and returned to the place where he and Lion Li lived.
He had agreed to let Zhou Ji come over, but he had changed his residence. He had to wait for Zhou Ji.
The house he and Lion Li lived in was still the same as when he left. Obviously, Lion Li hadn't returned last night.
Xiong Ye didn't find it strange at all. He smiled bitterly and saw Zhou Ji coming.
Zhou Ji paid attention to his appearance and always kept himself very clean. Although his clothes were made of ordinary animal skin, they were very finely made. He probably sewed them himself.
"I've changed my residence. Let's go there." Xiong Ye brought Zhou Ji to his own residence.
Actually, if it were any other time, he wouldn't have so much contact with Zhou Ji.
But the situation was different recently.
Ever since he came to the Beast Divine Temple, Lion Li had become more aggressive. He spent all day with others … He didn't want the people of the Big Bear Tribe to know about this, so he wasn't too willing to stay with the people of the tribe.
When he learned that Lion Li wanted to break off their partnership, he didn't want the people of the tribe to pity him.
But other than the people of the tribe, he didn't know anyone else …
He originally thought that he could only stay alone. Now that he had Zhou Ji to talk to, he naturally felt closer to Zhou Ji. Not to mention that Zhou Ji had told him many useful things.
"Xiong Ye, this house is really not bad. It's much bigger than the previous one. There's even a kitchen here!" Zhou Ji looked at Xiong Ye's new house in surprise and touched it here and there.
Xiong Ye was also infected by his happiness and revealed a smile.
Zhou Ji said, "The ingredients have been sent here. I'll make something for you right away!"
Xiong Ye nodded. "Okay."
The ingredients had indeed been sent here. There were processed fish and meat in the kitchen.
They were meant for Zhou Ji, so they were naturally the best. Especially the fish, because Zhou Ji liked it fresh and had just killed it not long ago.
"I didn't expect there to be fish! I happened to bring some pickled vegetables that I pickled myself. I'll make you pickled fish with pickled vegetables, "Zhou Ji said.
Xiong Ye had never heard of pickled fish with pickled vegetables before, but he still agreed.
Zhou Ji made a pot full of pickled fish with pickled vegetables and fried the meat with the oil that he had brought. In addition, he stir-fried broccoli with mashed garlic and made a few vegetarian dishes.
As for the main dish, Zhou Ji made rice. While cooking the rice, he placed a steaming rack on top and steamed a bowl of egg soup.
Those dishes filled the table. Xiong Ye was stunned. "Why did you make so many dishes?"
"I want to stay in the Big Bear Tribe, so I have to show you my abilities." Zhou Ji smiled. "Actually, after my father died, the reason why I could live so well in the Beast Divine Temple is because of my good cooking."
"You cook so well, and they're willing to let you go?" Xiong Ye couldn't help but ask. He felt that if he were the High Priest, Zhou Ji, a person who could cook so well, would definitely not be let go.
"They've already learned it." Zhou Ji smiled. "It's not difficult to learn."
So that was the case. Xiong Ye didn't ask anymore and started eating.
As the two of them were eating, someone came. "Bear Beast King, we heard that you've moved here. We're here to take a look."
Along with the voice, two elderly Beast Kings walked in.
Because there were no windows, people usually liked to leave their doors open.
It made sense. If they didn't open their doors, the house would still be pitch-black in broad daylight!
Not only that, the houses at this time often faced south, so that they could have light.
When Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji were eating, the door was open. When the two Beast Kings came, they saw Zhou Ji.
The two of them stopped in their tracks.
They already knew that Zhou Ji would follow Xiong Ye. They even spent a night to accept it. But now that they saw it for themselves, they were still a little shocked.
However, the two Beast Kings hadn't lived in vain. They didn't lose their composure and only asked, "This is?"
Xiong Ye stood up and greeted them. When he heard them asking about Zhou Ji, he said, "This is my friend, Zhou Ji." As he spoke, he introduced the two Beast Kings to Zhou Ji.
The two old Beast Kings: "…" This person called the Beast God by his name. It was fine, but he actually said that the Beast God was his friend …
Of course, what shocked them even more was that the Beast God actually smiled at them. "Good morning, Ape Beast King, Bull Beast King!"
Of these two Beast Kings, one was in the form of a giant ape, and the other was in the form of a bull.
In addition, the Ape Beast King was a male, and the Bull Beast King was a female. Both of them were about the same age, and their faces were already full of wrinkles.
Now, the wrinkles on their faces were even more squeezed together. They smiled stiffly and said, "Good morning to you too."
Zhou Ji didn't say anything. The two Beast Kings remembered that he wanted to keep it a secret, so they didn't dare to tell him more. They were even a little worried that they would make him unhappy if they came rashly.
Finally, the Ape Beast King said, "Bear Beast King, I didn't expect your culinary skills to be so good!" Could it be that the Beast God wanted to follow the Bear Beast King for food?
"This isn't made by me. It's made by Zhou Ji." Xiong Ye said, "Do you want to eat together?"
These dishes were actually made by the Beast God? The two Beast Kings were stunned. They couldn't wait to sit down and have a taste, but they were afraid that Zhou Ji would be unhappy. They could only look at Zhou Ji and said, "How can I accept this?"
"It's alright. You guys eat some too." Xiong Ye stood up and scooped rice for the two Beast Kings.
He wasn't like Shi Li, who liked to make friends, but he was also willing to be on good terms with other Beast Kings, especially when he and Shi Li were about to be separated.
Zhou Ji knew what Xiong Ye was thinking, and he also agreed with him. Naturally, he didn't object.
The Zhou Ji in his dream, because he liked Xiong Ye, he only cooked for Xiong Ye. Zhou Ji wouldn't do that.
Since he had already cooked, there was no harm in letting others have a taste.
After Zhou Ji came to the Beast God Temple, the people there started using chopsticks. The two Beast Kings were very good at using chopsticks.
The Bull Beast King liked to eat all kinds of plants. She had never seen broccoli before, so she picked it up with her chopsticks and tried it. Then, she was pleasantly surprised by the taste of the broccoli.
This kind of plant, which she had never eaten before, tasted very good!
The Bull Beast King started to taste other vegetables.
As for the Ape Beast King, he picked up some fried meat with his chopsticks and ate it.
Zhou Ji had added cumin to the frying meat.
He taught a lot of plant seeds and planting methods to the people of the Orc Shrine. However, he didn't let the people of the Orc Shrine plant these seasonings. He felt that the current level of development of the Beastmen Continent wasn't enough to pursue delicacies.
Of course, he could use it himself.
Hence, the Ape Beast King and the Ox Beast King were eating a lot of things that they had never eaten before.
The two Beast Kings wished they could bury their heads and eat bitterly.
After eating the food made by the Beast God, one would definitely receive the Beast God's blessing!
But … the Beast Deity's food wasn't for them, so they didn't dare to eat too much!
In the end, the two Beast Kings only ate a bowl of rice with tears in their eyes. They only ate a few dishes and then stopped eating.
Seeing them like this, Xiong Ye felt that his knowledge seemed to be a little lacking.
Zhou Ji's cooking was too delicious. He couldn't stop eating. These two Beast Kings could eat so little. Did they eat all the time?
As Xiong Ye ate, he chatted with the two Beast Kings. He discovered that the two Beast Kings treated him very well.
At first, he felt that it was a little strange. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was normal.
If he reached the age of these two Beast Kings, he would definitely be very friendly to those young Beast Kings. This was to prevent those young Beast Kings from harming his tribe after he passed away.
After chatting for a long time, they finished eating. Zhou Ji took the initiative to stand up and said, "I'll clean up."
The Ape Beast King and the Ox Beast King were about to say something when they saw Zhou Ji, who had stood up and was standing behind Xiong Ye, gestured for them to leave.
The Ape Beast King and the Ox Beast King immediately took their leave.
Xiong Ye didn't suspect anything and sent the two Beast Kings out.
Both parties exchanged a few words and separated. The Ape Beast King and the Bear Beast King took a few steps and saw Zhou Ji appear in front of them.
The two of them immediately knelt down.
Zhou Ji said, "Come less in the future. Tell others to come less too."
"Yes, Your Highness!" The two Beast Kings responded. Then, they realized that the Beast Deity was no longer there.
Did their Beast Deity go back to wash the dishes?
The Ape Beast King and the Ox Beast King looked at each other in disbelief and excitement — they had tasted the food made by the Beast Deity!
Not only that, they were the only ones … The Beast Deity told them to go less, and told others to go less too. They definitely wouldn't have a chance to eat it!
But … why did the Beast Deity treat Xiong Ye so well? That Xiong Ye, they didn't think there was anything special about him …
While the two old Beast Kings were puzzled, Xiong Ye decided to bring Zhou Ji back to the Big Bear Tribe.
He and Shi Li were going to separate. Although he felt a little embarrassed and didn't want to say it, he still had to say it.
Besides, Zhou Ji was coming back. He should let the people in the tribe know him.
On the way to the Big Bear Tribe, Xiong Ye introduced, "We have been wandering in the early years. We only settled down after I became a high-level Beast Warrior 11 years ago. Now there are a total of 89 people in the Big Bear Tribe."
Only 89 people … The Big Bear Tribe was really a very small tribe.
But it was also a very powerful tribe. After all, there were two Beast Kings in this tribe.
Because of the two Beast Kings, the people of the Big Bear Tribe had a very spacious place to set up camp. There were even people from other tribes who built houses for them, who didn't know how to build houses.
When Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji went over, they saw many people from other tribes staying at the place where the Big Bear Tribe lived. They were talking to the people of the Big Bear Tribe, trying to get to know them.
Seeing Xiong Ye coming over, they all came over to talk to him.
Zhou Ji stood behind, lowering his presence. Then, he realized that a few old priests from the Beast Deity Temple knew that he knew him. They were hiding in the dark and looking at him.
Zhou Ji: "…"
Xiong Ye said a few words and went to the house that the Big Bear Tribe had left for him and Shi Li. He called Hu Yue and a young man called Xiong An in.
"Xiong Ye, what's the matter?" Hu Yue asked.
"Yes," Xiong Ye said. After a pause, he introduced Zhou Ji. "This is Zhou Ji. Do you remember Hu Yue?"
Xiong An was born after the incident in the Big Bear Tribe, so he definitely didn't know Zhou Ji. But Hu Yue should still remember him.
"Zhou Ji?" Hu Yue looked at Zhou Ji in surprise. Finally, she said, "It really is him."
"Zhou Ji will join the Big Bear Tribe in the future. At that time, take care of him," Xiong Ye said.
Hu Yue and Xiong An immediately agreed. "Sure."
Xiong Ye wanted to say something but stopped.
"What do you want to say?" Hu Yue asked.
"I want to break off the partnership with Shi Li," Xiong Ye said.
Hu Yue's expression changed instantly. Her scarred face looked especially ferocious. "Did he do something wrong to you?"
"No, Hu Yue, calm down," Xiong Ye said. Shi Li had indeed not done anything wrong to him. "We just don't have feelings for each other."
"What do you mean by no feelings? He relied on you to become stronger … "Hu Yue wanted to say that Shi Li relied on Xiong Ye to become stronger and felt that Xiong Ye no longer had any value to him, so he wanted to kick him away. But she quickly realized that if she really said that, Xiong Ye might feel uncomfortable, so she finally held it in.
Xiong Ye said, "No matter what, we will be separated during the Beast God Ceremony … Let me tell you, you can tell the people in the tribe later. At that time, those who want to follow him can follow him, and those who want to follow me can follow me."
Xiong Ye did not want the Big Bear Tribe to split up, but he could not let Shi Li take away all the people in the Big Bear Tribe … After all, this was the tribe he had fought for half his life.
He could only let the others choose.
"Xiong Ye, don't worry. Except for Shi Li's younger brother, we will definitely follow you!" Hu Yue immediately said. "I will go chase Shi Li's younger brother away now!"
