Ch171.2 – Parallel World (2)
Zhou Ji didn’t want to go to bed and watch another version of himself spending time with Xiong Ye, so he quietly followed behind him.
He was relieved to see that in the end, Shi Li didn’t go and sleep with Xiong Ye.
However, he soon felt that he’d been relieved too quickly.
The next day, Shi Li didn’t go out to fool around. Instead, he suddenly warmed up to Xiong Ye. Not only that, he also began to ask around for information from the people of the Beast God Temple.
Because of Shi Li’s status, the High Priest of the Beast God Temple’s attitude towards Shi Li wasn’t bad, and he would answer any questions Shi Li had.
As Shi Li asked one question after another, he suddenly asked, “High Priest, will those who are mated on the day of the Beast God Sacrifice become mates blessed by the Beast God?”
“Of course.” The High Priest replied.
“If they separate, would they make the Beast God unhappy?” Shi Li asked again.
“That is likely. The Beast God likes people who are loyal to their mates.” The High Priest said.
Zhou Ji: “……”
Zhou Ji tried hard to remember and finally realized that in his early years, when he’d still been willing to communicate with the priests of the Beast God Temple, he’d once said that he didn’t like people who betrayed their mates.
So as a result, the High Priest ended up giving Shi Li this kind of answer…
Shi Li soon left. After he left, Zhou Ji appeared in front of the High Priest.
The High Priest knelt down in surprise and joy when he saw Zhou Ji appear so suddenly.
The High Priest in front of him was someone Zhou Ji had chosen himself. This person wasn’t clever, but his personality was devout and kind, and he wouldn’t do any bad things.
Zhou Ji said, “Find a chance to tell Shi Li that the Beast God is in favor of mates who don’t have feelings for each other separating.”
The priest was stunned but agreed immediately, “Yes, Your Majesty.”
Zhou Ji thought for a moment and continued, “Pick out two territories, then tell Shi Li and Xiong Ye that they can go to different places.”
Shi Li and Xiong Ye were mates, and it was reasonable for them not to separate. Therefore, the Beast God Temple had only prepared one territory for them.
However, now that Zhou Ji had spoken, the High Priest naturally agreed to it.
Zhou Ji left after giving his orders.
The High Priest remained in place and thought about it again and again but couldn’t understand––how come it seemed like His Majesty the Beast God wanted to separate Shi Li and Xiong Ye?
Did His Majesty The Beast God have some thoughts towards Shi Li? Why else would he do this?
Thinking of how Zhou Ji had ordered him to treat Shi Li well… The High Priest felt that he’d figured out the truth.
The High Priest was very devoted to Zhou Ji, and he paid a lot of attention to the things Zhou Ji had ordered. At noon that day, he personally went to find Shi Li and Xiong Ye.
Not only was Shi Li well maintained, he was also good at the little niceties. After the High Priest entered Xiong Ye and Shi Li’s house and observing for a while, he discovered that Shi Li was indeed very likable.
Out of all the Beast Kings, he was definitely the one with the most outstanding appearance, and compared to the others, he wasn’t considered old at all.
The High Priest began, “I came here this time to speak with the two honorable Beast Kings about some matters.”
“What is it?” Xiong Ye asked.
“What kind of important matter is there that would move the High Priest himself to come here?” Shi Li smiled and asked. What had happened to him in the Beast God Temple last night had left him with no courage to slack off at all when faced with the priests of the Beast God Temple.
“It’s about the territory of you two Beast Kings.” The High Priest said. “We have prepared two territories for you, and you can each choose one.”
“Two territories?” Xiong Ye and Shi Li were both a little surprised.
The High Priest smiled and spoke about the location of the two territories along with the details regarding each one.
These two territories were a little far away from each other.
“We’re mates and can’t be separated.” Xiong Ye said.
The High Priest had wanted to speak about the matter of mates this entire time, and he finally had the opportunity to do so now, “Who says that mates can’t be separated? Many mates separate on the Beastman Continent.”
Xiong Ye had always felt that since they had already become mates, he should take good care of his other half and wouldn’t easily separate. Now that the High Priest suddenly said this, his brow furrowed––did this person want him and Shi Li to choose different territories?
Shi Li was a little shocked. “Didn’t you say before that the Beast God liked those who were loyal to their mates?”
“Of course the Beast God likes people who are loyal to their mates, but mates who no longer have feelings for each other can separate and become mates with other people. Naturally, they should be loyal to their mates when they have one.” The High Priest was a little tangled in his heart, but his face was very calm and confident.
Xiong Ye was stunned when he heard this news, but Shi Li was glad when he heard this.
And when Xiong Ye turned his head and saw the happy expression on Shi Li’s face, his heart couldn’t help but sink.
Shi Li wanted to ask a few more questions, but he didn’t dare to ask when he thought of how Xiong Ye was right beside him. Unexpectedly, Xiong Ye asked instead, “So originally there was this kind of understanding?”
“Of course there is.” The High Priest gave Xiong Ye a sympathetic look.
Xiong Ye continued, “How is the relationship between mates dissolved?”
The High Priest explained, “Holding a ceremony to dissolve the relationship during the Beast God Sacrifice is enough.”
Xiong Ye no longer spoke. It wasn’t known what Shi Li was thinking, but he also didn’t speak any further.
The High Priest felt that the atmosphere between the two was a little strange, so he laughed a little dryly and said, “You can consider the matter of the territories carefully. I’ll leave first.”
Neither Xiong Ye nor Shi Li got up to see him off.
Xiong Ye’s mood at this time was very complicated.
He’d never been oblivious to the changes in Shi Li.
When they were young, they’d depended on each other for their lives and had been good to each other. However, later on, many contradictions had slowly risen up.
Shi Li loved attending to his personal image and loved to posture, but he was lazy and didn’t like to do things. Xiong Ye had been very tolerant of all this.
It was nothing to ignore a lover’s small faults.
However, Shi Li…
At the beginning, when the mystery man had taught him how to cultivate and agreed to let him teach Shi Li, he’d been very happy. Finally, he’d pretended to find a mysterious cave and had Shi Li learn with him.
However, Shi Li hadn’t been able to persist.
Xiong Ye had sensed the strength of the mystery man and knew that the mystery man hadn’t cheated him. He’d urged Shi Li over and over again, but Shi Li had instead gotten angry with him.
He could only cultivate on his own.
However, when he cultivated on his own, his strength grew stronger than Shi Li’s, and Shi Li had become unhappy…
Fortunately, Shi Li became willing to cultivate with him later on. However, his progress had always been slower than his.
He could only give Shi Li all the crystal cores of the beasts he and Shi Li killed.
Their strength increased very slowly, but it was increasing. By the time they became high level Beast Warriors, he could sense that Shi Li found him annoying.
Xiong Ye was very clear about the fact that there were problems between him and Shi Li.
But at the end of the day, he and Shi Li were mates. He wanted to solve these problems, but Shi Li obviously didn’t feel the same way and never cooperated with him.
However, even so, they were still together and had stayed together without separating.
Xiong Ye felt that after more time passed and they became older, Shi Li would no longer be so intolerant, nitpicking on this and that all day long.
They were mates and couldn’t separate. What else did Shi Li want?
Xiong Ye had thought it through very well, but Shi Li clearly hadn’t thought so.
Shi Li was always unhappy.
Now that they suddenly learned that mates could separate, Xiong Ye’s mood was extremely complicated.
Shi Li’s mood was even more complicated.
Shi Li said, “Xiong Ye, I have something to do and need to leave for a bit.” He wanted to catch up to the High Priest and ask more about this matter.
After Shi Li left, Xiong Ye had originally wanted to focus on cultivating, but he suddenly felt like he couldn’t cultivate any more.
After coming to the Beast God Temple, he’d seldom gone out. This wasn’t because he hadn’t want to go out, but because he knew that Shi Li was very active outside.
He didn’t want to see that kind of scene, so he’d simply chosen not to go out.
Now… he wanted to go out and walk around.
There were still about ten days left until the Beast God Sacrifice, but many tribes had already arrived in the area near the Beast God Temple.
Many of them had even set up and camp and begun to trade for things with others.
The people of the Big Bear Tribe had a camp area that the people of the Beast God Temple had arranged for them.
Xiong Ye went straight for that place.
When they saw Xiong Ye, the people of the Big Bear Tribe greeted him one after another. Some people even asked about Shi Li, “Xiong Ye, where’s the tribal chief? He didn’t come with you?”
When Xiong Ye heard the words ‘tribal chief’, his feelings twisted in a way he couldn’t describe, but none of it showed on his face. “He didn’t come.”
“Xiong Ye, those tribes all came to flatter us because we have two Beast Kings!”
“Xiong Ye, the Beast God Temple really has a lot of things! People here can actually feed themselves without having to go hunting!”
“Xiong Ye, I met a person that I like. He’s willing to join the Big Bear Tribe!”
“Xiong Ye…”
……
The people of the Big Bear Tribe chattered and spoke a lot. It was very lively, but Xiong Ye’s mood wasn’t very good as he listened to it all.
Even until now, he couldn’t figure out how Shi Li had changed to become like this.
Xiong Ye left the tribe after staying there for a while, intending to look at the places nearby.
He didn’t let anyone come with him and went to the place where the people of the Beast God Temple had planted all kinds of crops.
It was said that a long time ago, the Beast God Temple used to block all kinds of knowledge. However, this had all changed. Now, the people of the Beast God Temple would take the initiative to teach others how to plant all kinds of crops.
Xiong Ye watched the fields for a while, looking out at the lush scene, and thought about how everyone would no longer have to go hungry in the future. This put him in a better mood.
At this time, he suddenly heard someone call out to him, “Xiong Ye?”
Xiong Ye looked over and discovered that the person calling out to was a pale man who appeared to be in his thirties. He wore a patchwork of animal hide clothing.
This person looked a little familiar, but Xiong Ye was momentarily unable to place him, “You are?”
That person smiled at Xiong Ye, “I’m Zhou Ji… do you still remember me?”
Zhou Ji? Xiong Ye looked at the person in front of him in amazement and discovered that this person really was Zhou Ji!
Of course he remembered Zhou Ji. Even after he’d come to the Beastman Continent, he’d gone to the Elephant Tribe to inquire for news about Zhou Ji. However, the Elephant Tribe had dispersed when Xiang Tian died, and he hadn’t been able to obtain any news.
He’d thought that Zhou Ji was dead. Unexpectedly, he was still alive.
