“Zhou Ji, how did you come to be here?” Xiong Ye was a little surprised.

Zhou Ji explained, “After I followed my father to the Elephant Tribe, I was always looked down on because I was too weak. Later, my father sent me to the Beast God Temple, and I’ve been living at the Beast God Temple ever since, helping farm the land.” He didn’t like to communicate with people, and Xiang Tian hadn’t liked him talking to others, so he’d largely gone unnoticed after arriving at the Elephant Tribe. Later on, when he’d left, he’d also gone quietly.

Later on, Xiang Tian had come to find him and had been killed during one of his frenzies. The Elephant Tribe had dispersed… Zhou Ji believed that now that thirty years had gone by, nobody in the Elephant Tribe would even remember him.

Even if someone remembered him, they wouldn’t be able to disprove his story, either.

Xiang Ye said, “You look like you’ve lived pretty well.”

Zhou Ji smiled sheepishly, “It’s because I’m rather lazy and often laze about.”

At the beginning, Xiong Ye had been on guard when he saw Zhou Ji, but now that he’d observed him for a while, he was no longer as guarded. After all, there was no need for Zhou Ji to lie to him.

While Xiong Ye was observing Zhou Ji, Zhou Ji was also observing Xiong Ye.

He’d been very jealous when he saw the other version of himself with Xiong Ye in his dream, but this jealousy was mainly because he’d found out that another version of himself had a mate and had lived a good life.

To tell the truth, he didn’t have any feelings towards the Xiong Ye in his dream.

After all, none of the prey that Xiong Ye had hunted had been given to him to eat.

However, even if that was the case, his feelings towards ‘Xiong Ye’ as a person, was a little different.

He didn’t care about the people around him, but it wasn’t the same with Xiong Ye. After he’d quietly observed him yesterday, he felt both sympathy and anger in his heart.

That Shi Li was no good at all. Why did Xiong Ye have to concern himself with him?

He felt that for the sake of the loving relationship the other version of him in another world had with Xiong Ye, he should help Xiong Ye get rid of Shi Li.

As for after that… He hadn’t thought it through yet.

Although he’d thought a lot, Zhou Ji still had a gentle smile on his face.

He was used to being expressionless for years, but it wasn’t difficult for him to make expressions with his face when necessary.

Zhou Ji continued, “Xiong Ye, I heard that you and Shi Li have become Beast Kings? Congratulations.”

“You know about it?” Xiong Ye said.

“Yes.” Zhou Ji smiled and said. “Everyone is talking about it everywhere in the Beast God Temple… Weren’t you in the wild forest? Why did you come to the Beastman Continent?”

“Something happened to the tribe.” Xiong Ye said, then laughed bitterly.

Zhou Ji asked, “Can you tell me about it?”

Xiong Ye said, “There’s nothing to say. We were attacked by another tribe, and only thirty people escaped at the end.”

Zhou Ji: “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have asked.”

Xiong Ye smiled slightly, “It’s alright. It was a long time ago.”

Xiong Ye recalled some of the things from the past when he saw Zhou Ji again, but he hadn’t had much to do with Zhou Ji in the past and didn’t know what to say at this time. The two parties soon fell silent.
