However, Hei Ting was very resistant to this topic, and said with a cold face, "Impossible! I am a fallen beast, and I will never become like ordinary beastmen!"
"Don't mention returning to the East Sea in the future. I can satisfy whatever you want, as long as you don't leave me, I will protect you for a lifetime."
Shu An had a bit of a rebellious streak. She wasn't married yet, and even if she were, she would still visit her maternal family. Why should he deprive her of her freedom to go home?
"What if I just want to leave!"
The atmosphere turned cold for a moment, and a voice like cracking ice was heard, "Then I'll tie you up and you won't be able to go anywhere!"
Shu An, furious, stood up and kicked the beastman's thigh hard, "Why are you so annoying!"
Hei Ting's face darkened, and he also stood up, his height immediately creating a sense of oppression.
He pulled the person over and lowered his head to bite and gnaw at the disobedient little female, "Don't make me angry."
Shu An was both angry and in pain. No matter how she slapped or pushed, she couldn't get away. "Get lost, you're so annoying, I don't like you!"
Hei Ting pretended not to hear. "If you provoke me again, I'll make you pregnant with my cub right now!"
This threat was very effective. Shu An immediately froze her arms, not daring to move, and cursed, "You're shameless!"
Hei Ting didn't know what "shameless" meant, but he could guess it wasn't a compliment.
He completely ignored it and warned, "Did you hear me? Don't provoke me if you don't have to, and don't think about leaving me!"
Shu An let out a cold snort and turned her face away, "You should check on the roast meat first, it's going to burn!"
Direct confrontation was not wise. As long as there was an opportunity, she would definitely leave!
Hei Ting, smelling the burning, was speechless.
The argument started inexplicably and ended inexplicably. In the end, Shu An ate perfectly roasted meat, while the burnt part was eaten by Hei Ting with a dark expression.
He couldn't bear to lose face. As a male, it was the first time he roasted meat for the female he fancied, and he even burnt it. Even though he hadn't lived in ordinary beastman tribes, he knew that this burnt meat had lowered his image in the female's eyes.
So he kept a dark expression. Shu An couldn't be bothered with him, what an unpredictable fellow!
"It's time to take me to the Triceratops herd."
Hei Ting's face darkened further, "That's our food."
Shu An didn't deny it, "Except for Big Horn brother and second sister-in-law, and their children, everything else is food."
"...I don't understand." Hei Ting said expressionlessly.
Shu An explained to him the relationship between their family and Big Horn. After listening, Hei Ting didn't know what expression to wear, and numbly took her to the Triceratops tribe.
As soon as he appeared, the Triceratops herd went into a state of high alert. Fortunately, with Shu An's explanation, the leader named Big Horn was no longer aggressive towards him.
Hei Ting leaned against a tree, indifferently watching the interaction between the female and the herbivores below. They couldn't communicate due to language and species differences, yet they could miraculously communicate.
He was somewhat curious about his mate's family. How could they think of raising food as their children?
!
Shu An knew that Big Horn couldn't defeat Hei Ting. Big Horn was a herbivore, and he was the leader of a tribe with his own family and life. He couldn't lose his life to save her.
So she told a small lie, "Big Horn brother, have you seen the beastman on the tree over there? He wants to pursue me, that's why he wanted to take me away last night."
"Big Horn brother, you must be very hurt. I won't let him hit you anymore. Also, I'm going to live with him, so I'll be coming to see you less often. If I don't come for a long time, it means I've gone home, so you don't have to worry about me. If you don't see me, don't look for me. When you migrate next time and pass by my home, you'll see me."
Shu An said a lot, and she said it slowly. Big Horn understood most of it. He reluctantly nuzzled Sister An. They had only been reunited for a few days, and now they had to part again.
Shu An sighed softly and patted Big Horn's forelimb. Hei Ting was so powerful, she couldn't drag Big Horn brother down. As long as Big Horn stopped standing up for her, Hei Ting wouldn't vent his anger on him anymore. She hoped Big Horn brother's family would live well.
As for herself, she would take it one step at a time. The worst outcome would be to stay and have cubs for the bad guy. The bad guy was strong and not ugly, so he could barely be a mate.
If she really had no chance to go back, she would try her best to have a little cub. When the child grew up, he could take her back to her maternal home. She would never come back after returning, hmph!
It would just take a long time to wait, but it didn't matter, she could "endure humiliation for the greater good"!
Hei Ting's patience was limited. He was waiting on the tree and was almost falling asleep. The little female was still chattering with the herbivore, and what was strange was that the herbivore was lying on the ground, listening attentively...
"Haven't you said enough?" As soon as he came down, Big Horn stood up vigilantly, his eyes still filled with hostility.
However, the hostility was mixed with some scrutiny, as if he were considering whether he was worthy of being his sister's mate.
Hei Ting looked at him strangely and couldn't help but slightly curl his lips. He looked at Shu An and said, "Are we going or not?"
Shu An pouted, "Let's go, after I say the last two sentences."
Hei Ting was speechless. What was there to say!
Shu An finally bid farewell to Big Horn, "Big Horn brother, I'm leaving. Remember what I said, don't come looking for me. I'll come to see you when I have time."
Big Horn nodded, indicating that he understood. He also understood in his heart that the male pursuing Sister An was very powerful, even more powerful than his father. What was there to worry about?
Shu An felt somewhat relieved. She hugged Big Horn, then hugged her second sister-in-law. Before leaving, she touched the egg and said softly, "You all must work hard. When you hatch, auntie will come to see you."
After giving instructions one by one, she said, "Alright, let's go."
Hei Ting's face twitched. He picked up the female with one hand and flew back to the tribe.
On the way, he wanted to pick some fruits, but spring had just arrived, and the fruits were not yet ripe, so he had to give up the idea.
Upon returning to the tribe, Shu An was put down. Standing in front of Hei Ting's cave, she saw a female running over aggressively from a distance, followed by two frail females.
The female was named Jing Jing. She heard that Hei Ting had snatched another female and couldn't sit still. She wanted to see how much better the newly snatched one could be compared to her!
Shu An had a premonition that the other party was coming for her, but strangely, she didn't know her...
"Hei Ting! Who is she!" she asked, her voice full of accusation.
Hei Ting's face turned cold, "My mate."
Jing Jing looked incredulous, pointing at Shu An and questioning, "She's your mate, then what am I?"
Hei Ting said sarcastically, "You are you, what does that have to do with me?"
Jing Jing couldn't believe it, "Did you snatch me not to mate with me? I'm a White Spirit Beast. You don't want me, you want her?"
Shu An seemed to understand. It turned out this female was also snatched by Hei Ting. Suddenly, she felt an indescribable anger. What did Hei Ting take her for!
