The Beast King's Little Wife

The stone trembled upon hearing this and pressed even closer to the bone.

"Sister Bone, what I'm hearing is that you want us to fight each other. I don't want to be your enemy."

"Yes, that seems to be the idea. These two are so powerful, but their forms are so pleasing to the eye. So, I want to try to grow into a human form like them, instead of looking like a skeleton like I do now."

"Yes, I'm sure you can do it, Miss." Stone was full of admiration.

In his eyes, this young lady was someone who could do anything.

"Little Stone, you can do it too."

"That's right, I can do it too, so let's try to become human, miss."

The bone patted the stone approvingly, "Alright, let's try to be good people."

To be a human being, one must have five senses, six perceptions, and emotions.

Bones and stones in this world constantly learn its flavors.

"Sister Bone, I saw that pair of birds fight back fiercely to protect their offspring. In the end, the male bird died protecting his offspring and his mate. I'm so sad."

"Yes, I feel sad too. This, perhaps, is what emotion is."

Sister Bone sighed.

Their emotions became increasingly complex.

It's so rich in experience that even seeing injustices can move one to tears.

This world has always been a place of bones.

Countless bones.

It was only after they had gained legs that they arrived at a cliff on this day.

The two bewildered little ones were stunned as they watched the bones being thrown up from above.

"So, the bones all flew down from above," Stone exclaimed.

Bone stared intently at the cliff above, then shook his head.

"It shouldn't be just this one place where bones are falling. Presumably, in our realm, bones are being added from time to time. Look, this realm is so vast, and these bones, thrown down from the cliff, are all piled up here. Yet, in our realm, there are stones everywhere. Either these bones were subjected to various forms of destruction after being thrown down, or there are other ways to throw in even more bones."

After only a short while, the bone analysis led to this conclusion.

Just then, a slight noise came from a corner in the distance.

Stone glanced nervously back.

"Miss, it seems there's another skeleton here with its own consciousness."

Along their journey, they encountered countless beings possessing sentience. Most of these were skeletons, the kind of beings that could possess sentience.

As for beings like stones, almost none of them possess sentience.

"Sister, in this realm, it seems that only skeletons can possess their own consciousness. Apart from me in the lake and that rock, there is nothing else with consciousness like me?"

"Hmm, so that lake must be a very strange place. More importantly, haven't you noticed that all the sentient beings outside are not as good as the two of us in terms of movement and agility? Your rolling skills are getting better and better."

After rolling it around, the surface of the stone turned red.

"Miss, I was scared a few times, which is why I look like this now."

"Ha ha……"

The bone smiled happily.

He was completely unaware that a skeleton was stealthily approaching him from behind.

“That skeleton is trying to ambush us. I’ll roll over there and teach it a lesson.”

"Yes, good, it's time to teach them a lesson."

The bones remained calm.

That blind fool still tried to ambush them.

He didn't even consider that with their spiritual awareness, how could he possibly launch a sneak attack? However, she wasn't foolish enough to warn the guy who wanted to harm her.

If anyone tries to harass her, she'll just take their drugs.

After that guy followed them to the vicinity, he saw that the two guys in front of him still hadn't noticed.

Its empty eyes rolled around. Its bones cracked and creaked.

Take a few more steps forward, and you can raise your knife to suck the blood from these two incredibly delicious-looking creatures.

But, at the moment he raised the knife...

He was kicked hard in the waist.

His head was also smashed hard.

As the skeleton watched the stones whizzing and rolling in front of it, it couldn't understand why these two seemingly delicious-looking creatures were moving so fast.

Especially that stone, how could it have such great strength?

"Stone, well done. You managed to kill this guy so miserably with so little effort."

After saying that, the bone opened its mouth and absorbed the spiritual energy from the pile of skeletons in front of it.

It's not that we prevent the stones from absorbing nutrients.

Rather, it is the stone that cannot absorb this. Only she can absorb the spirit of these bones.

Therefore, she speculated that perhaps stones belonged to this realm of nature.

She, on the other hand, is like a skeleton on the outside. However, her spiritual awareness might have evolved more comprehensively inside the lake.

The specific reason for the formation of their realm is likely closely related to those two seemingly perfect humans.

“Stone, we have to learn to grow up. I feel like we were just put here by those two humans.”

"Oh, free-range? I don't understand?" After all, Stone was raised and nurtured by her.

Therefore, in terms of thought, he is slightly inferior to her.

"It means that we seem to have control over our own destiny. But in reality, we don't. You know the fish in the lake, right? To allow them to grow, some fish are left unharvested. They're just released into the lake, and once they've reproduced and produced more fry, the plump ones can be slaughtered. And my current feeling is that we, these evolved creatures, might just be the ones being released into the lake. I have a premonition that perhaps you are the peculiar existence that causes all these variables."

As her spiritual senses grew stronger, she increasingly felt that everything here was being manipulated.

For example, those two mysterious people who appeared.

For example, those mysterious entities. And where did all these bones come from?

All of this puzzled her.

This also served as a wake-up call for her.

"Don't be afraid, miss. No matter what, I'm still here with you."

Seeing that the young lady was nervous, Shi Tou immediately patted his chest and assured her.

Even if it means his death, I can't let anything happen to this young lady.

"Yes, you are the variable in all of this. Everything can only be discussed after we grow up. I can foresee that even if those guys want to raise us to slaughter us, I have to grow to a certain level first. In the meantime, Stone, you must work hard, drink more water, and try to grow heavier so you can roll faster. Our current speed and strength are not enough."

That vague sense of crisis prevented her from relaxing.

Therefore, if you want to become stronger, you can only continuously learn and strive to improve yourself.

To strengthen oneself, the most important thing is to continuously learn from those who are also like bones.

Fortunately, after absorbing the power of several skeletons, the bones felt that they were becoming more and more powerful.

On this day, after narrowly absorbing the essence of another skeleton, Stone, along with the bones, escaped continuously.

Now they have formed the best partnership.

The bones themselves fought against the skeletons.

When she finally collapsed, the stone carried her away.

Fortunately, this combination has always been considered a perfect match.

However, the black skeleton they provoked today seems to be different.

Why are they still behind me?

Stone, seeing the entity relentlessly chasing him, turned pale with anger. Of course, he had no face now. Only the surface of his stone remained. But because his emotions were becoming increasingly complex, any emotional outburst from Stone would now be reflected on his stone-like surface.

His bones were so weak they seemed ready to be blown away by the wind at any moment. From his rapid breathing, one could tell that this time he was truly in danger.

She patted him comfortingly, "Stone, don't be afraid, the worst that can happen is death."

"No, I won't let you die. That black guy is too awful. How can he keep up with us?"

The bone seemed somewhat forlorn. "We were too arrogant. We've always had it easy, thinking there was no one in this world more capable than us. But actually, they're not stupid. Perhaps they've sensed something's wrong. Don't worry, at worst, I'll die, and I can still drag him down with me. I absolutely cannot let him ruin your path."

"Stone, remember, your sister only needs to be in a state of slumber to recover. However, the time it takes varies, so you must have enough patience to wait for your sister."

"Sister, I don't want you to disappear."

If my sister also loses her vital bone, she won't actually wake up.

At that moment, all Stone thought about was that no matter the cost, he had to protect his aunt's safety.

“I told you, you can’t escape. You can keep that little bone as a rib in my chest, it’ll be just right.”

In the distance, the tall skeleton approached step by step.

He had a powerful physique and an even more terrifying aura.

Previously, they thought there was only one skeleton in that stone house.

But after killing that one skeleton, they discovered that the large, black skeleton they had attracted was the most terrifying being.

It was at this moment that Stone realized that there were actually even more powerful beings in this world.

"Hey, put me down, I'll fight him for a bit."

She needs to get down on her feet. This time, she's the one who caused the trouble, so she has to clean up the mess.

"No, I'll do it. You stay put."

Stone, who had always been protected by his older sister, now erupted with boundless rage.

Protecting the young lady behind him, he turned around and stared coldly at the approaching guy.

"I'll fight you!"
