Chapter 105 - 5.6 First Violet Star - Deep In The Forest
After the usual banquet, everyone dispersed and returned to their tents for the rest of the night. Xuebao who received his father's permission to stay over Tuzi's place wasn't permitted instead the latter was asked to stay in the Tribe Leader's place specifically at Xuebao's room.
Xuebao, who brought his friend home, had a huge thing following after him. At the beginning he chose to ignore it until they arrived in his personal room. He stopped Meizhou from following inside his place.
Xuebao, "You should retire for the night. This is already my place." he said.
Meizhou at first stared at Xuebao's emotionless face for a few minutes until he bowed shortly to greet him farewell in silence before disappearing from his line of sight.
"Xuebao, is it alright for you to push away your protector?" asked Tuzi worriedly. Afraid that his friend might have offended his official protector.
Xuebao responded while yawning, "It was fine~ get inside it's so cold outside. We need to talk about few thing about our plan for tomorrow."
"Do you really plan on going to the forest with just me tomorrow? It's dangerous... Ah~ I have you with me you could even defeat someone like Laohu. I guess we would be fine." responded Tuzi.
Xuebao replied while pushing the dazed rabbit inside his house.
"That's right. Instead let's talk about my clothes. Alter a few tonight. Something comfortable to wear, clothes that won't get in the way as I hunt. I will be wearing it tomorrow." he said.
"Hunting clothes ha? Then I'll make it so it will hide most of your skin!" said Tuzi while being pushed inside the tent.
As if remembering something Xuebao asked his system. "Yue, since this pervert is a transmigrator it is alright to tell him about you right?"
[W-Well there is no problem because he is considered an outsider soul missioned to remain here but... are you going to tell him about me, Host?]
"Sure~ why not? I think you two would get along well. Don't think I didn't know you took recording of those endless nights I've gone with my husband~" said Xuebao teasingly.
System Yue flinched when he heard that. He never expected his host to know about his secret hobby of recording his host and Lord God's romantic adventures.
"Remember to give me a copy of everything!" said Xuebao
[Yes, host!]
Once Tuzi and Xuebao disappeared inside the tent, Meizhou appeared from the shadow of the nearest tree. He really didn't leave just now. As he wanted to know what these two female beastmen plan to do for tomorrow. He didn't wait for vain as he got to hear their plans to hunt as a pair tomorrow. Usually male beastmen hunt food as a group while female beastmen gather herbs and such also as a group. The depths of the forest is dangerous. There will be wild beasts and animals inside.
Strong predators like dinosaurs also exist. If things go wrong one might bump into the precarious predator monster like Tyrannosaurus rex. For two females it will only be death but thinking about his beloved's last battle with Laohu, if he observed it well his Xuebao haven't shown his real strength yet. Either he chose to join these two females in their hunting instead of the usual troop. He could leave the leadership for the hunting brigade to his second in command Lang tomorrow. Then he would follow his female in his hunting instead.
Morning before complete sunrise.
At the Tribe's entrance two figures were seen sneaking around towards the direction of the forest. The pair was wearing similar looking clothes with the style of a camouflage but since the materials needed to design it was not complete the result product had low quality. At least they've been able to change it color to dark green shades with black. Xuebao even wrapped a black cloth on the wrist to cover up the opening and made it sure that except for the fingers the whole hand is also completely covered. He did the same thing on their feet since there are no boots in this era just just made sure no skin is exposed.
The only difference is that Xuebao wore full pants while Tuzi wore thin fitted pants over shorts. Xuebao wore long sleeves while Tuzi's had short sleeves. Unlike Xuebao's skin, his skin isn't sensitive and prone to rashes. There's a huge basket on Tuzi's back while a small stone knife is hanging on his waist. These two were in totally camping mode when they were suddenly blocked by the huge figure of the usual topless Meizhou who is completely geared with hunting tools on him.
His ordinary fur shorts were changed to pants. His upper body is bare as before revealing his masculine body with a 6 pack muscled stomach even the edges of his mermaid lines could be seen. Then there is his neutral cold expression on his handsome face. Tuzi, this timid little rabbit flinched upon seeing Meizhou while Xuebao only rolled his eyes on him as he clicked his tongue in irritation.
Hic!
Tsk!
Meizhou's eye only focused on his chosen female, Xuebao. It never wanders towards Tuzi nor other females in the tribe. The clear declaration he did last night is his proof of obsession towards Xuebao.
"I will go too." said Meizhou.
Xuebao responded, "I didn't ask you to come!"
"I will not do anything. I will just follow you, watch by the side and protect you in case of danger. I will carry your things for you as well." persuade Meizhou as his eyes even had hints of pleading while staring at Xuebao.
Xuebao's eyebrows twitch at seeing this man's silly antics as usual.
"Tuzi. Give him the basket." said Xuebao.
Tuzi while peeking at both his friend and his protector reluctantly put down the huge basket near Meizhou's foot and hid behind Xuebao's back. Meizhou calmly put the basket on his back even though it made him look weird.
"You've remembered what I told you last night right?" asked Xuebao.
Meizhou nodded, "Remember."
"Then let's go." said Xuebao.
Beside him Tuzi clings on his arm while sniggering at Meizhou. This is the first time he had seen their tribe's strongest warrior this meek and it is towards a female beastman he used to hate.
"Hehe~ This normal deadpan faced warrior top had a hidden puppy like personality when talking to his haughty devil bottom. Pfft! Hihihi~"
Tuzi was totally treated as he didn't exist by Meizhou. As they continue to venture deeper in the forest, Meizhou who was walking in front of Xuebao slices off every grass in front of him, creating a clear road for Xuebao to walk. Xuebao remained silent the whole time as he was asking his system to be his temporary locator. Asking him where these kinds of plants grow, where is the fruit tree of this and where could he find things like raw materials for cement and such.
Behind him Tuzi is giggling at weird moments after murmuring few words like 'Ah~ if he pushes this...', 'If I leave them would they...', 'When will they kiss?', 'Please treat like air my male gods.'
[Host, there are few Honeycrisp apple trees and cherry bushes with fruits not far from here.]
"Good! Where is it? Show me the way."
[Three o' clock north. Half kilometers distance. Please be careful it is near the territories of Edmontosaurus. These are duck billed jaws and have the height of 3-9 meters tall. There are herbivores but they might accidentally hit you with its tail if it thought of you as enemies.]
"Are they near the location you told me?"
[No. That location is completely empty of living things but since it is within their territory it might appear out of nowhere.]
"Then~ there's no problem~ but are you sure this is the same place the protagonist found those apples right? Then as long as he gets an inkling of it somewhere then I could just have him identify it and we could have someone try replanting it near the tribe's territory."
[Host I think it is easier to just look for small crop plants like potatoes, lemons and such. Those kinds of plants are easier to replant and make a farm for it.]
"But it's almost winter there are no potatoes alive in this season. Only cabbages, carrots and celery. These three unpalatable veggies!" retorted Xuebao.
If everyone remembers, our main character hates eating his greens and orange colored vegetables. He hated eating carrots and peas the most. In the last world, it was Xie Ye who ate all those veggies he hated. He could eat a bit of cabbage and lettuce but not that much. Xuebao loves eating more sweet stuff like cakes or fruits.
[Then the host doesn't need to eat. Just pushed all of the farming jobs to the protagonist that is his mission.]
"Hmm~ that is also true. I don't really need to eat. Even if I have to I can just..." Thinking that he could just let Meizhou eat those unappetizing vegetables in his instead made Xuebao's mood better. "Right~ I could just let him eat it~"
[Sigh~] System Yue could only helplessly sigh in his host unhealthy diet.
On the other hand drifting in his own brainhole fantasy, "Hehe~ I could already imagine that cold face breaking and blushing as that seductress pushed him down straddling on his waist while licking the corner of his red lips as he gave his blushing top a sultry gaze making the former pants uncontrollably..." Tuzi continues to murmur these kinds of sentences, talking on his own as he let all of his fantasy out from his fanboying mode.
System Yue who heard all of this silly protagonist mumbling could only hover towards him discreetly and said. [Hehe~ don't just imagine it. Tonight I'll share my trophies to you~]
Suddenly yelled in excitement, "Really!?" exclaimed Tuzi.
[Sshss! Have you forgotten that only you and my host could see me!]
Seeing the weird gaze Meizhou is giving him Tuzi avoided his eyes and secretly winked on his friend Xuebao. Xuebao decided to ignore the two fudanshi behind him. Seeing his chosen female walks away, Meizhou ignored Tuzi's uncanny actions an followed after Xuebao instead.
The Protagonist Shou was busy imagining his BL fantasy between Xuebao and Meizhou in his mind while sharing his excitement with his comrade System Yue suddenly noticed that they've ventured in a familiar place.
Looking around in the familiar surroundings, "If I remembered it right this is the place where I found those apples!!"
In the beginning System Yue didn't inform Tuzi directly about the location being found by him. He and his host's mission is to allow Tuzi complete his task in this world as a Transmigrator. Aside from that they were not going to involve themselves further. Moreover his host tasks in this world don't directly involve clashing with this protagonist's mission. This world is also a vacation world for them. A vacation that his boss gave to his host as a compensation for taking his prisoner off his hands.
Tuzi grabbed Xuebao's wrist over his clothes as he pulled him excitedly towards the exact location where the apple trees were found. Clearly when he served those apples to Xuebao as snacks last night, the latter positively liked it.
"Xuebao! This way! I found those apples in this place!! We can bring home some with us!" said Tuzi while dragging Xuebao with him.
Meizhou on the other hand followed them closely despite his glaring eyes that landed on Tuzi's hand grabbing his chosen female's wrist. System Yue could even see his Lord God's soul fragment gritting his teeth in displeasure.
[Sigh~ Little Tuzi, you don't know how close you are to dying just because of someone's extreme jealousy towards you clinging to my host like that.]
