Kapitel 5: A Family

Redakteur: Henyee Translations

Lin Huanhuan originally wanted to buy a pair of shoes, but beasts did not like to wear shoes, so no one sold such things.

Helpless, Lin Huanhuan could only think about making a pair of shoes herself.

Making shoes required a needle and thread. Thankfully there was someone selling them.

Lin Huanhuan looked at the needles and hesitated.

She was penniless, and the only way to buy anything was to have Bai Di pay for it. However, he had already bought her two dresses. She was embarrassed to ask him to pay for more things.

He looked at her for a moment, then pulled out a crystal coin and bought the entire set of needles.

After getting the needles and thread, he said to Lin Huanhuan, "Tell me what you want to buy. I have crystal coins."

Lin Huanhuan blushed. "Thank you. Take it as though I'm borrowing those crystals from you. I'll make money to pay you back in the future."

But he said, "You're my female. We're family. Everything I have belongs to you. I'll give you anything you want."

The word 'family' was like a big hand that gently held Lin Huanhuan's heart.

The warmth made her want to cry.

She had once yearned for a family of her own. However, the early death of her parents forced her to bury this desire in her heart.

But now, this beast in front of her had awakened her desire with a single sentence.

She really wanted a home.

He saw the little female's eyes turn red and was immediately flustered. "Don't cry! Are you feeling unwell? Or did I do something wrong? Tell me and I'll fix my behavior!"

He wanted to touch her, but he was worried as she was crying. All he could do was circle around her anxiously.

Lin Huanhuan wiped her eyes and smiled embarrassedly. "I'm just too happy."

"Happy?" He wondered why she would cry when she was happy.

Lin Huanhuan held his fingers. "I'm really happy because I have a family now."

…

After visiting the market, the sun was about to set.

Lang Zhu sent someone to get Bai Di and his female, but Bai Di refused.

He knew what Lang Zhu was up to.

There were many wolves in the tribe, but there were only about a dozen females while there were over 300 males.

Having more males than females was common in this world. In order to reproduce, each female was surrounded by many male mates.

The females of the Wolf Tribe were no exception, but even so, many young males still failed to find a female to be their mate.

To the wolves, every female was extremely precious.

Lang Zhu wanted Lin Huanhuan to stay so she could choose a few young males from the Wolf Tribe to be her mates.

Bai Di was furious at the thought of other males sharing Lin Huanhuan with him.

Lin Huanhuan was his mate alone. He would never allow anyone to touch her!

Bai Di carried Lin Huanhuan away from the foot of the mountain and found a cave nearby.

He spread thick hay on the ground, then put Lin Huanhuan down on it.

"I'm going hunting nearby. I'll be back soon. Stay here and wait for me. Don't go anywhere."

"Okay."

Bai Di deliberately used a large rock to block the entrance of the cave to prevent anyone from seeing Lin Huanhuan. Only then did he reluctantly leave.

Lin Huanhuan opened the cloth bag and took out the kindling.

She gathered some dry wood, stacked them, and carefully lit them.

There was a fire!

Lin Huanhuan felt the warmth that she had not felt in a long time, and a happy smile bloomed on her face.

Using the light from the fire, she began to leaf through the book.

The first few pages of the book briefly introduced the continent. Two points were highlighted.

The first point mentioned was the existence of soul beasts, while the other point was about females.

Soul beasts were beings that evolved from ordinary beast people and were very powerful.

As for females, they were even rarer than soul beasts. They were responsible for reproducing.

They were so rare that each female would have many male mates in order to reproduce better.

When she read this, Lin Huanhuan became really embarrassed.

She did not expect this world to advocate polygamy.

She read on and got to the part about the fragrant and crunchy fruits.

The leaves and fruits of woody plants could be used as medicine. Consuming them could extinguish excessive heat in the body, while applying them externally can stop bleeding and reduce inflammation.

Lin Huanhuan immediately opened the hide pouch that Lang Zhu had given her and grabbed two crunchy fruits from it.

The dark red fruit was round. Upon taking a closer look, she could smell a faint sweet fragrance.

With the little female in the cave on his mind, Bai Di finished off his prey as quickly as he could before hurrying back while dragging the carcass behind him.

It was late at night, and the mountains were pitch-black. The firelight coming from the cave was especially bright.

As soon as he saw the fire, his expression changed.

Fire in the cave!

His little female was still in the cave!

Bai Di quickly dropped his prey and raced into the cave.

Lin Huanhuan, who was studying the crunchy fruits, looked up slowly and froze when she saw Bai Di's anxious expression.

"W-What happened to you?"

He rushed to her and pulled her to her feet. "Let's get out of here!"

Lin Huanhuan was confused. "Why? Did something happen?"

"There's a fire. It's dangerous!" Bai Di grabbed the animal hide and lunged for the fire! He had to put it out!

Lin Huanhuan was shocked by his actions.

She quickly took his arm. "Take it easy! I lit this fire!"

He stopped what he was doing and stared at her in astonishment. "You lit the fire? Did you know that fire is dangerous? Anything that touches it will be incinerated!"

"I know, but as long as I'm careful, I won't be burned." Lin Huanhuan tried to convince him. "I've been sitting by the fire for so long, but I wasn't burned. It's enough to prove that it's not as dangerous as you think. And I need the fire. It can provide me with warmth and cook food for me."

He hesitated for a moment, then relented.

The little female needed fire, and he didn't have the heart to refuse her.

Bai Di dragged the prey he had dropped earlier into the cave. He carefully peeled the skin and set it aside, intending to wash it in the morning.

His little female liked to collect hides. He was going to satisfy this hobby of hers.

Bai Di cut the most tender piece of meat and shared it with Lin Huanhuan.

He watched as Lin Huanhuan cut the meat into strips and skewered them on a branch before roasting them on the fire.

The meat sizzled as it roasted. The grease dripped into the fire, sending up sparks.

Bai Di watched, terrified that his little female would be burned. He was tense as he got ready to pounce and rescue her if needed.

Lin Huanhuan handed him the roasted meat and looked at him encouragingly. "Try it."

He hesitated a moment, then took the skewer and bit into it.

It was hot but fragrant.

It was much better than raw meat!

Bai Di finished the skewer in big bites and praised her sincerely. "Delicious!"

Seeing that he liked it, Lin Huanhuan was very happy.

Bai Di immediately cut the rest of the raw meat into pieces and set them over the fire to roast.

He seemed to be very talented in cooking and immediately understood the technique of roasting meat.

The meat he roasted was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was crispy and delicious!

Lin Huanhuan ate four skewers of barbecue and was full. The rest of the barbecue went into Bai Di's stomach.

The deliciousness of the roasted meat finally made him less afraid of fire.

The well-fed Bai Di turned into a white tiger and sprawled beside the fire. He would occasionally lick his wounds from time to time.

The wounds his prey had given him earlier in the day were still on his forelimbs. They had stopped bleeding, but they still hurt.

Lin Huanhuan moved over. "Let me bandage your wounds."

She took out a crunchy fruit, chewed it, and carefully applied the paste to Bai Di's wounds.

Kapitel 6: Bleeding

Redakteur: Henyee Translations

"They're for females," he said. "They're very sweet. Keep them for yourself. Don't waste them on me."

Lin Huanhuan was a little angry. "What do you mean 'waste'? You're my family. In my heart, you're the most important! No amount of crunchy fruit is as important as you!"

Bai Di froze.

He looked into the face of his little female. Her fair face looked warm and alive in the firelight.

A warm current flowed into his heart.

Lin Huanhuan felt a little embarrassed by his gaze. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

He whispered, "I've never seen a female so gentle…"

Although females were rare, they were not completely nonexistent. He had seen several females before, and without exception, they were all spoiled and wilful.

Those females never cared about the lives of others. They only cared about their own happiness. Their almost cruel innocence made Bai Di avoid them like the plague.

But the little female in front of him was different.

She was gentle.

Unable to resist, he leaned over and nuzzled her with his big furry head. "I'm so lucky to have met you in this life."

Lin Huanhuan was feeling ticklish.

She laughed in spite of herself. "Don't move. I have to dress your wounds!"

She used a bone knife to cut the hide into strips and she then wrapped them carefully around Bai Di's wounds.

Lin Huanhuan asked slowly, "Does it still hurt?"

He carefully felt around. "It feels better now."

Lin Huanhuan smiled in relief. "That's good!"

She dug out the needles and thread they had bought at the market earlier in the day, and she started making shoes.

After struggling for a long time, she still did not succeed. Instead, her fingers were pricked by the bone needles several times, and blood droplets appeared.

Bai Di's heart ached.

He immediately shifted back into human form. He then took the needle, thread, and animal hide. "It's better if I do it."

Lin Huanhuan was very hesitant. "Your hands are still injured…"

"They're all just minor injuries. They won't stop me doing needlework."

He quickly cut the animal skin and threaded the needle. Soon, he had made a pair of exquisite and cute leather boots.

In order to make it comfortable, he specially padded the boots with two layers of animal hide. He attached strips of hide to them so that they could be laced up. They could be worn either loose or tight. Furthermore, they were easy to wear and take off.

"Try them on," Bai Di said.

Lin Huanhuan immediately wore them on her feet and bounced back and forth. She asked excitedly, "Do they look good?"

He nodded, feeling pleased. "They're very nice. You won't have to worry about getting your feet cut by pebbles anymore."

Lin Huanhuan asked slowly, "Do you want to make a pair of shoes for yourself too?"

"No, thanks. My skin is thick. I don't have to worry about getting cut when I walk on the ground. Besides, I often need to transform. If I wear shoes, it'll be inconvenient when I change into my beast form."

Lin Huanhuan imagined a big tiger wearing leather boots and couldn't help but chuckle. "Alright. I forgot to think about that."

After watching him make the shoes, Lin Huanhuan was a little tired.

She leaned against Bai Di's belly, while Bai Di tucked his tail around her. Warmth enveloped her and lulled her into sleep.

Bai Di rested his head on his front paws and focused on the sleeping female, his blue eyes looking gentle.

…

As Lin Huanhuan slowly fell asleep, she suddenly felt a warm current flowing out from under her.

This was all too familiar…

She opened her eyes and carefully felt around again.

She suddenly had a bad feeling.

Could it be that?!

Lin Huanhuan immediately pushed the tiger's tail away and reached out to touch her butt. It was covered in blood!

Damn, it was really her period!

But there were no sanitary napkins in this world. What could she do about her period, then?

'Do I have to put a layer of hide or leaves under there?'

Bai Di smelled blood in the air. He opened his eyes and followed the smell. He saw the blood on Lin Huanhuan's palm, and his expression changed.

"You're hurt!"

Lin Huanhuan's face was red as she tried to explain herself with a trembling voice. "I-I'm not injured!"

"You're hurt! You're bleeding!" He shifted quickly into human form.

He picked her up and found that her dress was stained with blood as well.

There was so much blood. His little female must have been seriously injured!

Bai Di ripped the hide dress off her body, only to realize that the blood was coming from between her legs.

Ignoring Lin Huanhuan's struggle and resistance, he forced her legs open and examined the bleeding 'wound'.

Lin Huanhuan was so embarrassed and angry that she wanted to die. "Let go of me! I'm really not injured. This bleeding is normal. Just let me lie down quietly for a few days!"

However, he refused to believe her.

He stubbornly believed his little female was badly hurt.

His face was white with anxiety, his blue eyes full of fear.

When Bai Di was still young, his brother died due to the severity of his wounds.

He saw his brother lying in a pool of blood as his body stiffened up bit by bit. The grief of losing a loved one had almost broken him.

Now, his mate was wounded too. She was bleeding so badly!

Would she die like his brother?

He couldn't bear to think about it. He wrapped the hide around Lin Huanhuan's body and picked her up carefully.

"Don't be afraid. I'll take you to the witch doctor. I'll save you. I won't let you die!"

Lin Huanhuan was very embarrassed.

She was just on her period. Why would Bai Di think she was dying?!

She had never heard of anyone dying because of their period!

…

The witch doctor, Lang Zhu, was treating the wounds of a young wolf beast.

This wolf beast was tall and slender. His short silver hair and dark green eyes made him look very unruly and his sculptured face emitted a sharp aura.

Even though there was a long wound on his chest, it still could not hide his domineering aura.

He was like a sharp blade that had been laced with poison.

As the witch doctor helped him apply the medicine, he muttered, "Shuang Yun, how many times have you gotten injured recently? I remember this is the tenth time, right? You've almost used up all the herbs here."

Shuang Yun was expressionless. "I'll help you gather more herbs."

Lang Zhu glared at him. "You know it's not the herbs I care about. I want you to find a female as soon as possible and stop spending your overactive energy on hunting."

He frowned slightly, clearly annoyed. "I hate females."

Never mind finding a female to be his mate, he couldn't help but loathe the sight of a female.

Those arrogant and selfish females could do nothing else but give birth.

They were weak and incompetent, but also greedy and lazy. Every day, as long as they lay in bed with their legs spread, they could get everything they wanted.

Even worse, they never knew how to cherish their privilege!

Instead of becoming a female's vassal and slave, Shuang Yun would rather be single for the rest of his life!

Lang Zhu tried his best to persuade him. "I know you hate females because of your father's death, but you can't generalize everything. Not all females are as heartless as your mother—"

"Enough! I don't want to hear the word 'female' again!" Shuang Yun rose abruptly with a baleful look on his face. "I feel sick just thinking about them!"

With that, he stormed off.

"Brat, your wounds haven't been bandaged yet. Come back!" Lang Zhu was about to chase after him when Bai Di rushed in with Lin Huanhuan.

"Witch Doctor, save my mate! She's hurt!"
