Shu Xin's gaze swept over Wente, and only then did she notice something amiss with the beast skin skirt he was wearing. When he was standing before, she had assumed the skirt was too wide, causing the folds in the middle.
Now, seeing him sitting on the wood with his legs spread, she realized the beast skin skirt didn't cover his crotch!
"Wente, why is your beast skin skirt like this?"
Her question drew the gazes of several people towards Wente's trousers. The latter proudly introduced, "These are beast skin pants that Yueyue made for me. They're made from the hide of a savage beast. What do you think? Aren't they great?"
"..."
Leite truly felt envious now, not because he coveted the so-called pants, but because a female had made them for him with her own hands!
His Xin Xin had made nothing for him, and he didn't even have a single Illusion Beast Garment!
As if that wasn't enough to twist the knife, Wente asked, "Brother, the one you're wearing isn't an Illusion Beast Garment, is it?" He didn't say the latter part aloud, but his thought was that it looked too ordinary.
Leite's face stiffened. If he said it was, it would be too embarrassing. What male would choose such ordinary hide for an Illusion Beast Garment?
If he said it wasn't, he was afraid...
Shu Xin suddenly asked, "What is an Illusion Beast Garment?"
Shu Yue was taken aback and replied, confused, "Sister, haven't you bonded with Leite yet? You don't know about Illusion Beast Garments?"
Leite's body stiffened, and he quickly said, "This is my Illusion Beast Garment. When Xin Xin bonded with me, she wasn't very good at speaking yet, so I didn't let her make one."
"..."
Baron's lips twitched, clearly aware of the inside story.
Wente looked at him suspiciously. Without an Illusion Beast Garment made by a female, wouldn't the bonding ceremony be unsuccessful?
The latter put on a deep, contemplative look, hoping Wente wouldn't blurt out anything!
Shu Xin felt something was off.
She would ask Shu Yue about it another day. If that beast dared to lie to her... Hmph!
Since the original owner's memories didn't contain much detail about bonding, and Wente had already put on the Illusion Beast Garment she made early on the bonding day, Shu Yue couldn't figure it out either.
Just as Wente was about to voice his confusion, Leite quickly pulled him aside, "Is this little bit of food enough? Let's go find some more Giggle Beast eggs to eat."
"..."
Leite half-dragged, half-pulled Wente away.
Their lifelong understanding allowed him to sense that Leite definitely had something to say. He only managed to instruct Shu Yue, "You guys eat slowly, my brother and I will go look around."
Shu Yue looked at them inexplicably, wanting to say that this was enough, but then she thought of the Dragon Beasts' appetites and let them be.
Shu Xin's eyes flickered, and she sneered inwardly. That beast was acting strangely today...
Seeing that both youngsters had left, Baron, as an elder, didn't want to stay behind. He tore off a large piece of meat leg and said, "Shu Xin, Shu Yue, you eat first. I'm going to see if your grandmother has eaten yet."
Shu Yue nodded, "Okay, Uncle, you go ahead."
Shu Xin didn't say a word.
Baron was already accustomed to his 'daughter-in-law's' silence. Instead, he found Shu Yue to be a lively and well-behaved child, and Wente had excellent taste.
"Then Uncle is leaving." Holding the large meat leg, he ate as he walked towards his own cave.
When it was just the two of them left, Shu Xin said with an unreadable expression, "When did you become so polite?"
"..."
Shu Yue smiled gently, "People change. I was ignorant before and did many annoying things. Now I want to live a different way."
Hearing this, Shu Xin was actually taken aback. She felt a slight self-mockery in her heart, unsure if she was mocking herself or him.
With them gone, it gave her an opportunity to ask.
"Shu Yue, when did you bond with that beast named Wente?"
"...About half a month ago, right? What about you?"
Shu Xin replied, "About the same time as you."
"Such a coincidence? By the way, I haven't asked when you arrived?" Shu Yue noticed what Leite had said, mentioning that she wasn't very good at beast language when she bonded...
"..."
"He said I arrived at the Warrior Tribe on the first day of the Yellow Moon Season." Recalling their first meeting, Shu Xin's face turned completely dark!
Shu Yue didn't notice her expression and instead was very surprised by her arrival time, "You said you arrived on the first day of the Yellow Moon Season?!"
For some reason, she thought of that white streak of light...
"Sister, you didn't fall from the sky, did you?"
"..." Shu Xin's face darkened further.
The silence at this moment seemed to be an admission.
Seeing her like this, Shu Yue knew her guess was correct. She immediately covered her mouth in shock and whispered in English, "Sister, you're in trouble!"
Shu Xin paused her fish-eating, "What do you mean?"
She didn't explain first but asked a question, "Sister, have you heard any rumors about a Beast God's messenger in the Warrior Tribe?"
The other party looked blank, "No."
She then asked, "Have you told anyone about your origins?"
At this point, Shu Xin sensed that things were not simple and said, "No, I generally don't interact with people."
Hearing this, Shu Yue breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
"Let me tell you, don't tell anyone about your origins. If I'm not mistaken, you are the Beast God's messenger prophesied by the witch doctor."
Shu Xin became more and more confused, frowning and asking, "What Beast God's messenger? Explain it clearly."
Shu Yue nodded, "I'll tell you slowly, and you'll understand."
The two communicated entirely in a foreign language, ensuring perfect secrecy.
Meanwhile, Wente was pulled by Leite to a secluded spot outside the tribe.
Wente crossed his arms, looking at him with an expression that said, "How can your little tricks escape my eyes?" He said, "Speak up, you definitely have something going on!"
Leite waved his hand impatiently, "Go, go, don't look at me like that, you have no respect!"
"Why did you lie?" Wente stared at him intently.
Leite was embarrassed for a moment and gestured for him to keep his voice down.
With the keen senses of two Dragon Beasts, they could hear any movement within several kilometers. No one could eavesdrop on their conversation. At this moment, it only made a certain person appear guilty.
"I'm only telling you this, so don't betray me!"
Wente frowned, "What is it? Just say it."
Leite said shamelessly, "Promise me you won't betray me first, and then I'll tell you."
"..."
Wente turned to leave, "If you don't tell me, I'll go ask Uncle if you bonded without..." Release me!
"Leite, are you being childish? Why are you covering my mouth!" He disdainfully wiped his mouth, wondering if he had washed his hands!
Leite, feeling disgusted, his face stiffened slightly. After struggling for a moment, he said dejectedly, "Wente, I haven't bonded yet."
Wente naturally knew he hadn't succeeded in bonding. Having an Illusion Beast Garment was a mark of a bonded beast.
Leite irritably ran his hands through his hair, "Wente, you don't know, my female is too difficult to handle. If I don't do this, I don't know what other way I can keep her!"
