In his previous life, Shi Li and Xiong Ye had gone through decades of ups and downs together.

He knew that Xiong Ye liked him, liked him so much. However, after becoming Beast Kings and living more and more comfortably, he inevitably began to think differently. His eyes started to wander, and he became interested in other people, but Xiong Ye never did.

Xiong Ye’s gaze had always been pinned on him.

Shi Li didn’t intend to tie himself to Xiong Ye for a lifetime after his rebirth, but he couldn’t deny that Xiong Ye still held a special place in his heart. However, now, Xiong Ye was acting so intimately with someone else.

Shi Li found it a little unacceptable and wanted to go over and stop it, but there were quite a lot of people around Xiong Ye. They surrounded Xiong Ye and the injured man, making it so that he couldn’t get close.

Shi Li was rather angry, but at this time, the priest began to drive everyone around him back, “You guys should stay away from Niu Er!”

“Grandpa Priest, will Niu Er be able to get better now that he’s woken up?” Xiong Ye asked again.

“I don’t know.” The priest said, “Take him back to your cave and take good care of him.”

Niu Er was twenty six years old and wasn’t that young anymore, but he was a little reticent and his looks were average. Although his animal form was big, his fighting ability wasn’t very strong, and he hadn’t really caught the interest of any of the women in the tribe. He lived alone since he didn’t have a partner.

They couldn’t let him live on his own now that he was injured.

“Alright.” Xiong Ye nodded. He hoisted Niu Er onto his back and prepared to leave.

“Xiong Ye!” Shi Li frowned at Xiong Ye, “Are you going to bring him back? Aren’t you worried that he’ll…” Shi Li had already been very dissatisfied with Xiong Ye bringing Zhou Ji home, but Zhou Ji had his Beast King father as a backer, so he couldn’t offend Zhou Ji. He also knew that Xiong Ye had dug out two caves, so he had held back.

However, Niu Er…

Unless something unexpected happened, Niu Er wouldn’t make it. He didn’t want anyone to die in Xiong Ye’s cave.

Shi Li didn’t say it clearly, but his meaning was obvious. Xiong Ye’s expression turned ugly at once, but he didn’t have time to quarrel with Shi Li at the moment. After giving Shi Li a cold glance, he carried Niu Er into his cave, put him down, then came out again to get medicine from the priest.

When he returned with the medicine, Zhou Ji had already returned to the cave.

Zhou Ji didn’t like Niu Er. More precisely, he didn’t like how Niu Er smelled.

The rotten wound made him smell like a zombie. Although he had gotten used to it in his last life, he still really hated it.

His lack of interest in stale meat was also related to this.

However, he didn’t have any objections to Xiong Ye bringing Niu Er back even if he didn’t like Niu Er’s scent.

This man had been about to die. It was normal for Xiong Ye to want to save him.

“Should I move out?” Zhou Ji asked. Xiong Ye had taken him in because he had pitied him, but it seemed that the person lying there now was even more pitiful.

“No need. Niu Er will just be recovering from his injuries in my cave for a few days.” Xiong Ye replied. His voice sounded a little different when he spoke due to the stuffiness of his nose.
