Chapter 32 The sudden turn of events stunned all the beastfolk present. They instinctively scanned their surroundings, eyes filled with vigilance. Who had attacked just now? Chief Tali was secretly alarmed—there was still a powerful beastman hiding nearby. Mino was equally on guard. He hadn’t sensed who had struck either.

Chapter 31 They had deliberately chosen a site for the ritual that was considered safe. Under normal circumstances, demon beasts rarely appeared there—and even if they did, never in such numbers. This made it seem even more certain that the demon beasts had truly been drawn in by Nina. Even

Chapter 30 “Shaman, what exactly is going on? Did we do something wrong and anger the Beast God p> “Yes, Shaman—has the Beast God truly grown angry? Are we going to be punished p> Below the altar, anxious beastfolk began calling out. “No,” the shaman said, raising his hand to

Chapter 29 As soon as he took a step forward, Mino sealed the doorway with a thick layer of ice. “With me here, don’t even think about disturbing Nina p> Sal glared furiously at Mino, bared his teeth, then unwillingly returned to the cat bed. He still wasn’t a match

Chapter 28 Mino had been prepared. He dodged immediately. Sal chased after him, and the two of them began darting around, chasing and swatting at each other. Watching the “little kitty” run, Nina said worriedly, “Little Flower, stop running—be careful or your wounds will split open p> Sal wasn’t listening

Chapter 27 Nina thought about it and agreed that the “little kitty” really did need a nest of its own. “Alright then—let’s start making a cat bed right now p> Sal wanted to protest. He shook his head and kept meowing, trying to tell Nina that he didn’t need one.

Chapter 26 Nina gently scratched the “little kitty” under the chin, wondering if she should give it a name. “Mino, do you think we should name the little cat p> The moment Mino heard that, he felt his chance for revenge had arrived. “Its fur is short and rough—ugly as

Chapter 25 Mino soon brought dinner inside. Tonight’s meal was twice-cooked pork, dry-pot fish, and a soup made with wild greens. Sal lifted his head and glanced at Mino. There was no contract mark on him—so he wasn’t the shameless female’s beast husband after all. He twitched his little nose.

Chapter 24 On the way back, Nina quietly asked Little Bun, “Little Bun… can this cub still be saved p> Little Bun checked the cub’s condition and replied, [Host, its injuries are extremely severe. Ordinary treatment won’t be enough. Your ability is still too weak—if you want to save it,

Chapter 23 “Of course it’s not enough. All of you put together still can’t compare to Mino alone,” Dora said mercilessly. Whether in looks or in strength, none of her mates could hold a candle to Mino. Her words pierced straight into the hearts of the males beside her, their

Chapter 22 Dora bit her lip and softened her tone. “Mino, come with me. I’m the most beautiful female in the tribe, and I have high fertility. Look—I’m already pregnant with my second litter. As long as you’re willing to be my beast husband, I’ll give you my next litter,

Chapter 21 Nina was puzzled. She closed the book and withdrew from the system space. The moment she came out, the noisy sounds from outside flooded her ears. There were chaotic footsteps, voices of both males and females talking at once, and mixed in with them was the sound of

Chapter 20 Mino noticed that Nina’s expression had changed, and she wasn’t saying anything. He immediately panicked, thinking she must be disgusted that he had a marriage engagement yet ran away from it. “Nina, I didn’t run away because I’m irresponsible. I… I’m a responsible male, someone who can be

Chapter 19 Mino was so frightened his soul nearly left his body. He flung the basket aside and lunged forward, catching Nina just in time. As they fell, he instinctively adjusted his position, shielding her belly. Nina crashed straight into Mino’s arms. Her cherry-blossom–pink lips brushed past the corner of

Chapter 18 Later, Nina led Mino to find some garlic. Mino’s admiration for her grew with every glance. He was amazed at how knowledgeable she was about food. Food was scarce in the beast world. Not every beastman could catch enough prey, and every year, many starved—especially during the harsh

Chapter 17 Nina tilted her head and thought for a moment. “Then let’s have gugu beast p> “Mm.” Mino took a gugu beast out of his storage space. Suddenly remembering something, he asked, “Little—no, Nina… do you like eating rice? I have some in my space p> He recalled that

Chapter 16 “What kind of meat do you like? What fruits?” Mino continued. “It’s hard to say. Sometimes I crave gugubeast meat, sometimes wild boar, sometimes fish p> Honestly, what she wanted to eat changed every meal. Every hour, even. Mino silently committed it all to memory. Then he would

Chapter 15 At first, the two males didn’t dare eat freely. They waited until Nina was almost finished before finally digging in, devouring the food with abandon. After half an hour, there was barely anything left in the pot—it was practically wiped clean. Even the green peppers were almost completely

Chapter 14 Nina didn’t insist. She pulled out a cutting board and a bone knife and handed them to Mino. “Could you wash the meat and slice it thinly for me p> Mino took them. “Got it p> “And me?” Aji asked eagerly. “You start the fire!” Nina replied. “Okay

Chapter 13 Mino didn’t know how much time had passed before he finally snapped back to his senses. He gently let the hide curtain fall back into place and quickly retreated outside. He clutched his chest, trying to calm his racing heart. Why was there only a tiny female inside?
