CHAPTER 708: 【702】BEAST WORLD FARMING 12 (SECOND UPDATE)

Unfortunately, her determination simply couldn’t match that of the wolf. The pitter-patter of rain outside, like a lullaby, made her eyelids heavier and heavier until, at last, she fell asleep before Yin Ye did.

Listening to the breathing sounds of the little female beside him, Yin Ye couldn’t help but sit up and stroke her soft fur.

Although her body was patchy and bald in places due to her injuries, it didn’t detract from her cuteness. Especially that night when he saved her from a pool of blood and brought her back to the tribe, she was lifeless and limp, devoid of vitality. But now, after only half a month of care, she had regained the spirit of a Purple Mink. This feeling of nurturing, others might not understand.

But he had taken a liking to this Little Purple Mink at first glance, not knowing her past, origins, or appearance. Simply because she was female, and because he had saved her, Yin Ye had no intention of letting go, even though Nanny mentioned she might affect his descendants. He didn’t care.

If he had cared about descendants, he would have had a female by his side long ago, not waiting until the age of forty-five without a mate.

Being a high-ranking Silver Wolf with four stripes, even though females were rare, finding one that was devoted to him wouldn’t be difficult.

But all this time, he never found one that caught his eye.

Not until the arrival of this little female cub.

In fact, he wasn’t a beast to meddle in others’ affairs, but that night, seeing her stubbornly stand up again after being knocked down, unyielding and relentless, he was eventually moved by his protective desire.

And today, the little cutie who refused to eat, nibbled on fruit, and strived to keep clean, touched the softest part of his heart.

Now, just thinking about her adorable look while eating, with her little mouth opening and closing, he couldn’t help but smile like a doting aunt.

Perhaps, this was what they call love at first sight?

***

Tangtang was woken up by the chirping of birds. When she rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up, she found that the day had brightened, yet outside, the rain continued its incessant patter, filling the cave with dampness. The birds perched on the hanging beast bones in the room, preening their feathers—no wonder it was so noisy.

Yin Ye’s presence was gone from her side, and the spot he had occupied was cool to the touch, signaling that he had left some time ago.

She hopped out of her nest and stood at the entrance, surveying the rain outside. It was still coming down hard, and puddles pitted the landscape. In such wretched weather, how arduous would hunting be?

It was a pity that even though she had a space-like storehouse, her transition to this world had been marred by various mishaps and injuries, leaving her no chance to make use of it.

Tangtang looked down at her beast form, which remained unchanged, feeling a mix of irritation and urgency. If she could transform into a human, she could wander around searching for food to fill her belly. Even if she didn’t eat meat, she could fend for herself, but in her current state, depending on someone else for sustenance was really uncomfortable for her, an independent modern individual.

In the midst of her pondering, a silver silhouette returned through the rain, carrying a large Korean Beef on his shoulder. Upon entering the cave and seeing her awake, he said happily,

"You’re awake? Today we’re having ’moo-moo’ meat."

’Moo-moo’ meat for beef? ’Cluck-cluck’ meat for chicken, my god, these descriptions, although odd, were oddly fitting.

It’s true that beef is best eaten tender, but to be honest, the idea of eating raw beef was quite a challenge.

Yin Ye carefully used his sharp claws at the entrance of the cave to separate the hide from the meat. After separating them, he removed the internal organs, then took the remaining meat to the stream for cleaning. Afterwards, he spread out the fresh meat on the large leaves he had brought back and used the Bone Knife to separate it, slicing it into thin pieces for her.

He must have known that beef is tough to chew, so he sliced it very thin, especially since he made everything so clean today. It not only cured Tangtang’s obsessive-compulsive disorder but also satisfied her picky appetite.

Moreover, the beef in Beast World was rich in texture, with a perfect blend of fat and lean, superior even to authentic Korean Beef, and its color was quite tempting.

Sadly, there were no condiments. If there were, and perhaps paired with butter for frying, Emma, just the thought made one drool.

But for now, the fact that he could clean and slice the meat thin for her was service enough. What more could she ask for?

So, with gratitude, she nibbled on about a dozen thin slices and felt full. It was early in the morning, and she couldn’t eat much.

Yin Ye stood by, attending to her meal. After slicing only a dozen pieces, she was already clutching her belly and rolling over in the nest on her back.

He stared at her, dumbfounded, "No way, you? With all this meat, how little did you eat, and you’re already full?"

Little Purple Mink waved her hand to show she was full. Yin Ye saw she wasn’t joking and could only sigh, then started to eat the remaining meat heartily.

He ate quickly and without concern for appearances, polishing it off in no time.

Now it was Purple Mink’s turn to be wide-eyed. She knew they ate a lot, but she didn’t expect him to eat that much; moreover, he didn’t seem like he would get indigestion. It was clear—the difference between males and females had existed since ancient times!

After the meal, it was time for digestion, right? However, it was raining outside, so they couldn’t go anywhere. Therefore, Yin Ye weaved a ball out of vines to play with her.

At first, she thought it childish and ignored him, but then, as his playful spirit took over, he began hitting her with the ball, annoying her until she bared her teeth and growled lowly at him.

Unfortunately, she was neither a Leopard nor a tiger, and the sound she made was more of a whimper, not even remotely threatening to him but frustrating for herself.

The cave was spacious enough, and with birds chirping and cheering on the side, the pattering rain provided a soundtrack for their game of chase. Not until Little Purple Mink, breathless and limbs limp on the ground, listlessly swishing her tail and gasping for air, did the post-meal exercise finally come to an end.

Due to the rain, they stayed inside the cave most days, so they only needed two meals.

The Silver Wolf had already eaten a whole cow’s head in the morning and caught a foolish roe deer in the evening; she barely ate the equivalent of a leg, while the rest went into the Silver Wolf’s belly. He casually mentioned he hadn’t eaten even half his usual amount, which truly shocked her.

But the creature squatted in the bushes several times that day, aptly demonstrating the adage "eat more, poop more."

In Beast World, going to the bathroom meant digging a hole, using it, and then burying it, which was already a sign of high hygiene standards.

The more she saw, the more Tangtang felt there were many things she needed to do in the future.

Thus, after three boring days, the rain finally stopped. As soon as the sun came out, a burst of mushrooms emerged like spring bamboo shoots after a rain in the grove.

Tangtang excitedly hung the Silver Wolf’s Beast Skin Bag around her neck, only to end up inside it; the bag was too large, and her animal body was not quite big enough. However, the Silver Wolf picked up on her intentions, "Do you want to come along?"
