The horned sheep tribe leader, grateful for the lesson on eating corn, revealed everything, "The white moon roses can only eat wild grass and yellow earth stalks, and various sweet and sour wild fruits. Yellow moon roses mainly eat grass... corn. Red moon roses can eat more, mainly red earth stalks. Red earth stalks can be preserved for a whole winter."
Shu Yue found it a bit overwhelming, "What are earth stalks, red earth stalks?"
"Uh... they are root stalks that are like soil, round or long. They taste good when roasted, but they are easy to choke on." The horned sheep tribe leader's vocabulary was limited, and he couldn't describe it clearly.
Shu Yue had a vague guess and asked, "Are there any now?"
The horned sheep tribe leader shook his head, "Not now. Even if there were, they would have rotted in the ground by now and wouldn't be edible."
"Oh, I see." She felt a bit regretful.
But she could come back in autumn to see what red earth stalks were.
"Then we'll come back another time. We have to leave now." She waved her hand.
The horned sheep tribe leader and his tribesmen watched them leave.
...
Shu Yue had the beastman take her to the previous cornfield. She picked more than a dozen ears of corn before returning to the cave to get her luggage and leave.
The next day, while resting by the river, she finally got to eat the roasted corn she had been craving. It was fragrant and glutinous, and incredibly delicious. It wasn't entirely glutinous corn, nor was it sweet corn, but a combination of both, making it exceptionally tasty!
...
When the last batch of tribesmen from the Wuda tribe moved to the Tiede tribe, they finally returned to the Warrior tribe.
On the last day, the beastmen were particularly excited. A day's journey was compressed into half a day. Looking at the endless cave and animal skin tents in the distance, Went gave a continuous roar.
The roar was so loud that it carried with the wind to the tribe. After a few minutes, responses of beast roars echoed from the tribe, and even a few black dots flew out from the tribe.
Went was very excited, and Shu Yue could feel his happiness without him saying anything.
She couldn't help but curve her lips. So this was how happy beastmen were to return to their own tribe.
"Went, are they your tribesmen coming to welcome you?"
The beastman nodded happily, "Yes, I'll introduce you later."
"Okay," Shu Yue replied with a smile.
A black-scaled dragon beast flew the fastest. Within a few sentences, the two dragon beasts met in mid-air.
Went shouted excitedly, "Brother!"
Leite originally wanted to whip his younger brother, who hadn't returned home for so long, with his tail. However, his first notice was of the mud female on his brother's back...
Fearing that a whip would send the female flying, he restrained himself from greeting her.
"Went, you're finally back!"
Went laughed heartily, "Brother, this trip was worth it!"
Leite glanced at the mud female with his peripheral vision and said, "I can see that, you kid has a female."
Just as Went was about to smile proudly, he heard the other say with a half-smile, "What a coincidence, I have a female too, and we've even partnered up."
"..."
Shu Yue: "..." Brothers who compare themselves upon meeting?
When she was in the Wuda tribe, she had heard Went mention that he had an uncle as kind as his father, and that uncle had a son who was one year older than him. The two brothers had a very good relationship.
Seeing them today, it was indeed very good.
Went wanted to ask when his brother got a female, but he didn't have time because a few more beastmen had flown over.
They were all winged ferocious beasts, and Shu Yue couldn't believe her eyes. Had she ever seen a flying mammoth!
That tonnage could actually reach the sky!
The world was indeed full of wonders.
The other two were winged tigers, but their size was much larger than Ak, whom she had seen before.
The beastmen greeted each other enthusiastically and flew back to the tribe together. On the way, Shu Yue maintained her smile, completely forgetting that she was still a mud person...
She had no idea that Went's good buddies were looking at her and thinking to themselves, had Went been stimulated by something?
Why did he bring back such a dirty female? Weren't the pampered females in the tribe better than this?
Upon their first meeting, they were not very satisfied with this female. Among them, the elephant beastman A Shui secretly winked at Leite, as if to say: Look at Went's female!
Leite glanced at him indifferently and then turned his head back as if nothing had happened. It was too early to make a judgment on their first meeting. He didn't think his brother was a male with no discerning taste. Went had previously disliked even Jiao Jiao, which meant this mud female must have something extraordinary about her.
A Shui saw that he was ignoring him and thought he hadn't understood his intention. Alas, after growing up together for so many years, there was no tacit understanding between them!
The elephant beast felt very regretful.
Before they even reached the tribe, they saw many tribesmen standing outside to welcome him. Went let out an excited roar.
The powerful roar surprised Leite next to him. Had this kid gotten stronger?
He hadn't noticed it before, but upon closer inspection, he realized that Went's beast form had grown larger. He was immediately astonished. Dragon beasts' beast forms grew larger after adulthood, and each change in size represented an increase in strength. Good heavens, what had Went eaten to grow so fierce!
The other three also noticed this. While happy for their good friend, they also wanted to beat him up. Why didn't he take them with him when he went out to train? Upgrading by himself in secret, what kind of beastman was this!
The two tigers and one elephant exchanged a knowing glance. Once they had time, they would definitely gang up on him!
...
The large animal skin package was thrown down, and Went followed, landing on the ground and transforming into human form. He carefully caught Shu Yue, who fell with it.
After placing her down, he turned to the tribesmen and said happily, "Tribesmen, I'm back!"
However, the tribesmen paid little attention to him, but rather to the female beside him. Especially the single young females in the crowd, their gazes towards Shu Yue were practically burning with fire!
Where did this wild female come from? She was dirty and ugly, and worst of all, she had Went's scent on her!
Unforgivable!
Jiao Jiao, who was originally overjoyed by Went's return, saw him intimately holding a female and letting her sit on his back. Her joy instantly turned into disbelief, and she couldn't help but rush out, pointing at the wild female and questioning, "Went, who is she!"
Shu Yue: "..." She didn't really like this kind of welcome!
She tilted her head and looked at the beastman, deliberately asking in a sweet voice, "Went, who is she?"
Went: "..." For some reason, he suddenly felt goosebumps on his back?
He was a little confused, it wasn't cold, was it?
Soon, he ignored it. Although he was very unhappy with Jiao Jiao's attitude towards his Yue Yue, he knew that Jiao Jiao had always been willful, so he treated her as if she meant no harm.
He put his arm around the female's shoulder and introduced her to the tribesmen, "Tribesmen, her name is Shu Yue, and she is my mate."
She was a mate, not just a female, and there was a big difference between the two!
Jiao Jiao's hand pointing at Shu Yue trembled, and she looked at Went in shock and asked, "You... have already partnered up?"
