Chapter 839 - 827: Immersed (Second Update)
Xiao Jihan paused as he listened to Su Muyao’s words, then continued to comb through Su Muyao’s hair with a comb, explaining, "This is a real world, not an illusion."
"Like the separate Beast World Continent that was isolated after the collapse of the Divine Domain."
This is the truth that Xiao Jihan has learned from his long observation and exploration here.
"Perhaps it’s because of the Divine Domain’s collapse."
"The rules here are different from those of the Mortal Beast Continent and the Cang Beast Continent. After entering the Ascension Road, I ended up here, and my power regressed to Level 5. Within the nearby tribes, Level 5 strength is considered top-tier."
"But perhaps there are even stronger beastmen in some large tribes."
"If strength needs to be improved, it can be done through capturing beast crystal cores for cultivation."
"The space ring cannot be used here either."
"Wars are common between tribes, fighting over resources, crystal cores, and even females."
At this, Xiao Jihan’s eyes and brows showed a sharp, icy expression; no matter what, he must protect his wife.
Su Muyao had heard some details about this place from Da Bao last night, feeling that the environment here was primitive, and the survival conditions were harsh.
Constant battles occurred, even within a tribe beastmen would fight and scheme for resources.
"Isn’t there any Heavenly Dao Rules suppression?"
This is how it is in the Mortal Beast and Cang Beast Continents.
Xiao Jihan explained, "The restrictive power of such rules is weak here; the beastmen of this tribe have stopped their sacrificial practices, claiming they’ve long been abandoned by the Beast God, and that the Beast God no longer exists."
"Therefore, the beastmen here have little faith or belief, doing as they wish."
"Females are indeed precious, but some large tribes’ powerful male beastmen also seize females, while some females force strong male beastmen to contract, to become their powerful beast husbands to protect them, and to allow them to seize even more powerful beast husbands and hunt for more crystal cores for cultivation..."
Due to the harsh environment, both females and males try to use force to vie for their interests.
Xiao Jihan simply explained what he knew.
Su Muyao listened, her gaze deepening, "So, this must be a separate Beast World Continent, isolated after the collapse of the Divine Domain, with a primitive environment, backward civilization, and constant strife."
Indeed, tribal conflicts and internal tribal disputes were prevalent, everyone struggling for survival, not caring about development.
"But one advantage is that there’s no pollution or dark gas here; beasts and plants haven’t mutated."
"But there are fierce beasts and frenzied beastmen, lacking reason, who uncontrollably attack beastmen."
Su Muyao took a breath, looking at the environment outside the cave, indeed feeling the fresh air, no pollution, but spiritual energy was quite sparse.
Perhaps because of this, the beastmen’s strength here was generally weak.
Su Muyao was somewhat anxious, "Then what can be done now, is there any way for you to become God?"
Xiao Jihan finished combing Su Muyao’s hair, reaching out to gently stroke her head, "Don’t worry, I originally planned to take Da Bao to the south when spring comes."
"This is the Extreme North of this Beast World, perhaps there are clues in the south."
The southern region is warmer, the survival environment may not be as harsh as the north.
"There are large beastman tribes and a Beast City in the south; according to the beastmen here, where there’s a Beast City, there are doctors, and possibly even a High Priest."
If there’s a High Priest, perhaps some things can be learned.
The range of the Extreme North is vast, and as winter approached, Xiao Jihan couldn’t bring Da Bao directly through the Extreme North to the south.
Moreover, the winter in the Extreme North is particularly cold, the snow is very heavy, even transforming into their true form might be covered by snow.
So he planned to depart in spring.
Unexpectedly, entering the tribe brought its own problems.
Now that his wife has arrived; Xiao Jihan felt a sense of satisfaction and peace within his heart, and also understood that he must protect his wife well.
A heavy sense of responsibility also welled up in his heart.
"Is it almost winter here?"
"But it rained last night."
Xiao Jihan explained, "According to the usual time here, it’ll enter the snow season in another half month."
During this time, he needs to prepare more.
He can’t let his wife and Da Bao go hungry or be cold.
Xiao Jihan then ladled a bowl of meat soup for Su Muyao, adding some greens and salt.
"Eat something first."
"The taste might not be great, I’ll look for some spices in the mountains."
Xiao Jihan knew his wife was particular about food, he couldn’t bear to let her suffer.
He just wanted to give her the best he could.
Su Muyao looked at the sleeping Da Bao on the stone bed, knowing Da Bao was tired recently, let him sleep a little longer, she didn’t wake him.
She then ate together with Xiao Jihan.
She scooped a spoonful with a wooden spoon and ate it, the temperature was just right, and after drinking the soup, she felt her body warm up.
"It’s delicious, no need to find those spices, our family being together is more important than anything."
Su Muyao couldn’t bear for Xiao Jihan to work hard, she felt it was fine to be full in such an environment.
"You eat too, don’t just take care of me."
Xiao Jihan was busy taking care of her, not eating himself.
When she looked up, she met Xiao Jihan’s gaze, feeling that his pair of beautiful eyes were like a tranquil autumn lake, filled with endless tolerance and affection.
Su Muyao couldn’t help but lose herself in such a gaze, her heart beating a little faster.
She couldn’t help but scoop a spoonful and bring it to Xiao Jihan’s lips, "You eat too."
Xiao Jihan met Su Muyao’s bright eyes, lowered his head, and lightly ate from it.
Just like that, Su Muyao fed Xiao Jihan spoon by spoon, the cave filled with a warm, cozy atmosphere.
When Su Muyao looked at Xiao Jihan, her eyes overflowed with love.
After eating, Su Muyao’s gaze couldn’t leave Xiao Jihan.
She never thought she would miss Xiao Jihan so much, love him so deeply.
She remembered when she first arrived through the crossover, opening her eyes to see Xiao Jihan first.
"Jihan, I was conscious of the Beast World, I thought the first day I arrived, the first thing I saw was you."
Hearing this, Xiao Jihan’s expression darkened, regret showing beneath his eyes, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have treated you that way."
He remembered he had pushed her, he regretted every time.
He should have treated her well from the start.
Now, he truly wished he could give his all to her.
"Oh, those are things of the past."
"But thinking about it, that time was beautiful."
"You never hurt me either."
Provided her with food, took care of her.
But Su Muyao also remembered she owed Xiao Jihan a little wolf cub Zaizai.
She wanted to be good to him, to give him everything he wanted.
Su Muyao stood up and came to Xiao Jihan.
Xiao Jihan naturally reached out and gently embraced her, letting her sit on his lap.
He softly asked, "What’s wrong?"
Su Muyao wrapped her arms around Xiao Jihan’s neck, leaned close to Xiao Jihan’s ear, and softly said, "I want to give you a wolf cub Zaizai."
That one sentence made Xiao Jihan’s body stiffen, the roots of his ears turned red, the red spreading across his face.
His heart skipped a beat.
His restrained desires felt on the verge of bursting forth.
He almost couldn’t believe it.
Su Muyao watching Xiao Jihan’s shy appearance, couldn’t help but smile.
Usually, Xiao Jihan had a cold and clear appearance.
His shy appearance was particularly beautiful, she couldn’t help but want to tease him.
Of course, her desire to have a little wolf cub Zaizai was genuine.
She lightly kissed him on the cheek.
At the moment of contact, both their bodies shivered, his hand tightening around her waist, wanting more...
Just then, the sound of a fierce beast’s roar came from outside the cave, Xiao Jihan’s expression changed.
