769 He’s Too Weak

Shuang Yin opened the clay pot and dug out the ointment. She smeared it on Wang Shui’s back and carefully applied it.

This ointment was hand-made by her mother. It was miraculously effective in treating external injuries.

After the ointment was applied, it quickly melted and went deep into the wounds.

Wang Shui felt his wounds go cold, and the pain eased a lot.

After applying the medicine, Shuang Yin took out a white cotton cloth and bandaged his wounds.

Wang Shui remained sitting upright and motionless.

Neither of them spoke.

After his wounds were bandaged, Shuang Yin put away the remaining cotton cloth and returned it to the wooden box with the medicine jar.

“Alright, you can go now.”

Wang Shui stood up. “Thank you.”

After he walked out of the tent, he did not return to his own tent. Instead, he stood at the door of Shuang Yin’s tent and guarded it.

At night, the news that Shuang Yin had bought a war slave had already reached Huanhuan’s ears.

Huanhuan was very curious. What kind of war slave could make Shuang Yin buy him back?

Bai Di saw what she was thinking and suggested, “Shall we call the children over for dinner tonight?”

“I’d like that.”

Bai Di asked Bai An to call Shuang Yin over for dinner.

Bai An walked to Shuang Yin’s tent and stopped when he saw a tall male beast standing at the door.

“Are you Sister Shuang Yin’s new war slave?”

Wang Shui said, “Yes.”

Bai An looked him up and down. His appearance was indeed not bad. He was quite compatible with his eldest sister, but his background was too low. His eldest sister was a princess. It was impossible for her to become mates with a war slave.

Wang Shui did not know what Bai An was thinking. He maintained a straight posture and did not move.

Bai An asked, “Is my sister inside?”

“Yes.”

Bai An walked over and shouted through the curtain, “Sister.”

A moment later, Shuang Yin lifted the curtain and walked out.

“What is it?”

Bai An said, “Dad and Mom want you to go over for dinner.”

“Oh, I’ll be right there.”

Shuang Yin followed Bai An for a few steps. Then, as if she suddenly remembered that she had just bought a war slave, she stopped and turned to look at Wang Shui. “You don’t have to follow me. Do you want to hunt for dinner yourself, or should I bring you some food?”

“I’ll wait for you.”

Shuang Yin nodded and left with Bai An without saying anything else.

Wang Shui stood where he was and watched them leave.

…

Dinner was an oversized hotpot.

The pot was refined from black gold. It was huge and could fit an entire adult bear.

According to the production cost, the price of this pot was enough to buy half of the Blazing Flame Tribe.

It was a real sky-high price.

Now, the expensive pot was propped on a fire. It was filled with ingredients. The soup kept rolling and bubbling, and a rich fragrance filled the air.

It was hot, and it wasn’t the season to eat hotpot, but Bai Di’s cooking was too good. The taste of hotpot was so tempting that everyone drooled over it.

Bai Di tasted the soup. “Yes, we can start eating.”

Clement’s eyes had long lit up from the craving. When he heard that he could start eating, he immediately rushed toward the hotpot. Fortunately, Huanhuan was quick to stop him. Otherwise, he would have pounced into the pot and become a ‘boiled snake’.

Huanhuan pressed him onto her lap. “The soup in the pot is hot. Aren’t you afraid of being scalded?!”

Clement flicked out his snake tongue. “Hiss~”

He wanted to eat more than anything else!

Huanhuan took the bowl filled with food from Bai Di and placed it in front of Clement. “Eat slowly. Be careful. It’s hot.”

Clement opened his mouth and ate half a bowl of vegetables.

In the end, he rolled on the ground and cried out.

Huanhuan poured him a glass of cold water. “I told you to eat slower. Do you know your mistake now?”

Clement slipped into the cup and soaked his entire body in the water. Only then did he feel much better.

He stuck out his snake tongue, looking a little aggrieved.

Bai Di took out a jar of wine and asked his two sons beside him, “Do you want some wine? It’s fruit wine made by your mother.”

Bai An and Bai Hao agreed.

Bai Di gave them each a bowl of fruit wine.

It was the first time the two brothers had drunk wine. It felt magical.

Shuang Mu, Shuang Lin, and Shuang Hua came over and asked Bai Di for a glass of wine.

Hence, Bai Di took out two more jars of wine. The six male beasts sat together and drank one after another.

Later, they pulled Shuang Jing in to drink with them.

Huanhuan looked at Shuang Yin. “Aren’t you going to drink?”

Shuang Yin shook her head. “I don’t like to drink.”

Huanhuan tried to ask, “I heard you bought a war slave today?”

“Mhm.”

“What’s between you and him—”

“I just thought he was quite interesting, so I bought him back. He was quite cheap anyway. He just cost me a colorless crystal. I won’t lose out.”

After hearing her daughter’s explanation, Huanhuan couldn’t help but laugh. “I thought you liked him.”

“No.”

The atmosphere tonight was good. Huanhuan took the opportunity to talk to her daughter a lot more.

“I have no intention of rushing you to find a mate. I’m just curious. What kind of male beast do you like?”

Shuang Yin said, “First, he has to be able to defeat me and be pleasing to the eye.”

This condition sounded simple, but on careful thought, the first request alone was enough to eliminate a large number of male beasts.

As for being pleasing to the eye…

This was even vaguer.

Huanhuan thought for a moment and asked her tentatively, “Do you find Ni Ya pleasing to the eye?”

Shuang Yin was quite sharp. “What did Ni Ya say to you?”

Huanhuan didn’t hide it from her and said frankly, “He said he likes you and wants to pursue you.”

She didn’t speak loudly, but beasts were born with sharp hearing. Shuang Mu, who was sitting opposite, heard her and immediately spat out a mouthful of fruit wine.

The three brothers said in unison, “Ni Ya likes our sister?!”

If it were Huanhuan, she would have blushed, but Shuang Yin’s expression did not change. She was very calm.

“Go drink your wine.”

Shuang Hua said loudly, “That little fatty actually dares to have designs on Big Sister?!”

Huanhuan said, “He’s lost weight.”

“But he’s not worthy of our big sister!”

Shuang Lin nodded in agreement. “A cat actually dares to have designs on our wolf princess? Who gave him the guts?!”

“He’s a panda. To be precise, he’s a bear, not a cat.”

Shuang Yin raised her hand and slapped the back of Shuang Lin’s and Shuang Hua’s heads. “Stop talking. If you continue to fool around, I’ll have you run 30 rounds around the tribe!”

Shuang Lin and Shuang Hua shrank their necks from her fierceness and immediately shut their mouths obediently, not daring to speak again.

They continued to drink with Bai An and Bai Hua, but their ears were pricked up, wanting to hear what their mother and eldest sister had to say.

Huanhuan said, “You haven’t answered my question. What do you think of Ni Ya?”

Shuang Yin seemed to remember something and had a complicated expression. “He’s alright.”

“Does that mean you can consider accepting his pursuit?”

“He’s too weak.”

Huanhuan thought about Ni Ya’s fair and tender appearance.

The chances of him defeating Shuang Yin in this life were infinitely close to zero.

Then, Huanhuan closed her mouth silently.

The children had their own fates. It was better for them to settle their relationship matters themselves.
