Beast World: The Ferocious God Xiang Liu is So Gentle

Tianwu: "I'll go hunting first thing tomorrow morning and I'll definitely hunt a rare beast for Lu Yao. If Yao Yao can wake up successfully, eating more energy-rich beast meat might help her recover."

Xiang Liu picked up Lu Yao and carried her back to the room: "Sleep peacefully. Even if you don't wake up, we still have the crystal core. At worst, we'll just take Tian Wu's beast seal. You'll be fine."

Lu Yao: "Wouldn't you mind if I became partners with Tian Wu?"

Xiang Liu: "I do feel uncomfortable, but I can't have you all to myself forever. After all, every female has many partners. As a goddess, you deserve to have more partners and receive better care."

Lu Yao: "But you've already taken very good care of me!"

Xiang Liu: "I understand your feelings, but I'm partnering with Tian Wu so that you can be safe. Even without Tian Wu, I will go out and capture a strong male for you to choose from so that you can survive."

Lu Yao said shyly, "How can you be so domineering? You even have to go out and catch people for something like this."

Xiang Liu: "I'd do anything for you. Go to sleep, you're so sleepy you can barely keep your eyes open."

Lu Yao held Xiang Liu and quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, seeing that Lu Yao had not woken up yet, Tian Wu went out hunting.

Xiang Liu had no appetite, but Niannian was hungry, so she bit her finger and went to Lu Yao's room.

Niannian: "Is Master still not awake? Isn't she hungry?"

Xiang Liu: "Is Niannian hungry?"

Niannian nodded.

Xiang Liu went out and made some bone broth for Niannian, adding some sliced ​​meat and red dates.

After finishing, I served a large bowl to each of Niannian and Granny Wu and took it to their stone chamber.

Although the old witch can't get out of bed now, she can sit up and eat by herself.

After the two finished eating, Niannian obediently took the bowl to the cave entrance and washed it clean.

In the afternoon, Tianwu returned carrying his prey, and Niannian, who was playing at the entrance of the cave, stood up to greet him.

Niannian: "Is the animal in your hand a lynx?"

Tianwu replied with a smile, "This isn't a lynx, it's a lynx. Legend has it that if you eat its flesh, you won't be jealous."

Niannian: "What does 'jealousy' mean?"

Tianwu: "You'll understand when you grow up."

Niannian: "Its hair is so long and beautiful, it must be a female animal."

Tianwu: "You guessed wrong, they are hermaphroditic."

Niannian: "What is hermaphroditism?"

Tianwu really didn't know how to answer, so he changed the subject: "Has Lu Yao woken up?"

Niannian: "Not yet!"

Tianwu: "I need to deal with this beast here. You should go back to the cave quickly, or it will scare you."

Niannian: "I've seen how animal meat is processed, I'm not afraid."

Tianwu: "Then stay away, so you don't get your pretty fish skin skirt dirty."

Niannian looked at her dress, which was her favorite dress, and it was the only one she had brought. She said, "Then I'll go back to keep Grandma company."

Tianwu: "Niannian is such a good girl."

After processing the beast meat, Tianwu arrived at the entrance of the stone chamber where Lu Yao was: "I hunted a beast and have already processed it. Is Lu Yao still not awake?"

Xiang Liu walked out of the stone chamber: "Why don't you build another stone chamber next door? I'll make you a new bed. If she still doesn't wake up tonight, you should prepare to become a couple."

Although Tianwu hoped that Lu Yao could wake up soon, the thought that if she didn't wake up, he could become her partner made him feel inexplicably excited.

Tianwu conjured sharp claws, found a suitable spot, and began digging for a stone chamber.

It was completely dark when the stone chamber that Tianwu dug was the same size as the one that Granny Wu was living in now, only big enough to fit a bed.

Xiang Liu placed the bed inside the stone chamber, spread a layer of soft animal skin on it, and then walked out of the cave.

Tianwu: "Where are you going?"

Xiang Liu: "I'm going out to eat and hunt. I'll be back tomorrow morning. Take good care of Lu Yao."

Tianwu knew Xiangliu must be feeling uncomfortable, so he deliberately avoided her. But it was for the best; with Xiangliu gone, it wouldn't be so awkward when Lu Yao and he became partners.

Note: The character "类" comes from the *Classic of Mountains and Seas*: "There is a beast that resembles a fox but has a mane; its name is '类,' and it can be either male or female; those who eat it will not be jealous."
