Beastman Forcefully Raising a Wife

Chapter 62

Edited by Squid

Shu Jintian conveniently discarded the vine during the journey and the big snake didnt blame him when Shu Hanyu realised it was gone. It seemed like he had no intentions to tie him up. Shu Jintian secretly sighed in relief.

But the next day, Shu Hanyu took a long time hunting before returning. Shu Jintian suddenly became flustered; the big snake didnt go looking for the little snakes ba? That wouldnt do, with this situation, if Hanyu found the snakelets hed definitely throw them away again. He had to discuss it with Hanyu soon.

When Shu Jintian saw Shu Hanyus openly upset face, he knew that he didnt succeed in what he wanted to do and felt his heart ease.

Hanyu, why were outside for so long? As Shu Jintian handled the ingredients, he asked this while acting in an absent-minded way.

When Shu Hanyu heard Shu Jintians voice, his tightly furrowed brows eased slightly and he softly said, Dont worry Tiantian, its nothing. I just went to check around if theres anything thatll threaten your existence. After all, sometimes youre alone at home, so I worry.

Is that so?! Shu Jintian replied, then asked, Then the little snakes ne? Did you find any traces of them ah?

Shu Jintian felt a little apprehensive after saying this and gave Shu Hanyu an uneasy look.

The good mood Shu Hanyu just had was thoroughly demolished. He smothered a breath in his chest and stifled his anger.

Why are you always thinking about the little snakes? Theyre just our descendents, Im your partner! Moreover, they grew up already, so they naturally have to be independent.

But you still cant directly throw them away ah; you should at least let me know. Did you know how panicked I was at that time? Theyre still so small and were suddenly thrown away by you. And thats nothing to say of whether something bad had happened.

It was fine if they didnt mention this matter, because Shu Jintian would become angry the moment it was raised, and it was hard to prevent his tone from becoming bad. Shu Hanyus complexion abruptly changed and the cold air around his body rose.

Shu Hanyus agreement was still needed for this matter, so Shu Jintian pushed down his anger and said pleasantly, Its not like I must live with them. Ill feel relieved as long as I know where they live and that theyre living well. Then I can go visit them sometimes, and have a meal together.

Shu Hanyus jealousy was about to explode, but he couldnt help becoming stunned when hearing Shu Jintians following words.

Really? Shu Hanyu didnt quite believe him. Just this? But that day Tiantian was so angry, fighting with him like his life depended on it.

Why would I lie to you! Actually you cant get mad when I tell you ah! Actually, Im scared of snakes, especially with so many little snakes squeezed together. I feel horrified just by looking at them, but theyre still my children no matter what, so I cant shun them.

Shu Hanyu felt delighted when hearing this and went over to hold Shu Jintians hands that were washing vegetables, looking at him with a pair of shining eyes.

Then what about me ne? Youre scared of us Spiritual Snakes, but youre not scared of me right? Im the most special to you, right? Although Shu Hanyu said it as a question, his tone was certain, as if he firmly believed that Shu Jintian wasnt afraid of him. He was the most special to Tiantian, even if he was a Spiritual Snake Tiantian was scared of.

Uh what logic and capital did you have to say this?

Although Shu Jintian thought this, he still couldnt help his face from reddening as he withdrew his hand as if electrified. When realising his evasive behaviour, Shu Jintians face turned even redder.

Shu Jintian cleared his throat to gloss over it, pretending to chide, Dont disturb me, Im washing the vegetables ne!

Mn, Ill wash with you. Shu Hanyu picked up a green grass with a smile and earnestly washed it, but his eyes slanted towards the female beside him from time to time, his lips unconsciously curving into an arc.

Shu Jintian felt his face blushing to the root of his neck from Shu Hanyus glances, feeling so hot like he was burning. He also wasnt washing the vegetables as naturally as before, as if his hands didnt know how to wash anymore. He had to look with deep concentration at the soil in the wild herbs before he was barely able to wash it.

Shu Jintian was unable to ignore any of the moves of the person beside him, which made him feel very uneasy. Shu Jintian cleared his throat and said with a small voice, Cough! Then take me to see the little snakes ba. Ill just look, I wont bring them back.

Shu Hanyu stared at the water surface and pondered for a few seconds, then finally said softly, Okay. If I see them, Ill bring them back for you to take a look.

Shu Hanyu spoke very gently. His soft and exquisite timbre, though he had used a very normal tone, still made people feel very tender, and unable to help but believe his excuse.

Mn. Shu Jintian softly replied. He didnt know whether Shu Hanyu was being perfunctory with him, but he chose to trust him.

For a few days in a row, Shu Hanyu took a long time when he went out to hunt. Every morning, he would take Shu Jintian out with the purpose of bringing Shu Jintian along to exercise and look for the little snakes. Shu Jintian would occasionally climb up trees to fish up some bird eggs for a snack for himself, but there were still no signs of the little snakes. Shu Jintian couldnt help becoming anxious. The big snake wasnt be bluffing him, right?

These two days, Shu Jintian would run around outside and see many things. He then realised that the forest still had many good things he hadnt seen before.

In a small grove with sparse trees, the trunks were delicate and straight, and only the top had a thin foliage of leaves. The fisherman boat-like tree leaves were scattered like fireworks. The tall trees were sticking up straight with bare treetops, like overly tall electric poles.

And under the trees, the ground exposed under the sunlight had a gold-coloured meadow. The grass was the height of Shu Jintians waist, and drifted along the cool breeze. The entire meadow was subsequently swaying like a ruffled ribbon. A faint fragrant odour floated in the air and brought along some dust, making his nose itch.

Shu Jintian walked in to observe it and realised that the sweet scent here was coming from the meadow on the ground. This meadow had several long strips like green beans, and each was about ten centimetres long and one centimetre wide, the colour greenish-yellow. The sides of the pods were slightly split open, with some dried, yellowed fur and dust. The fragrance was coming from within the pod, and there seemed to be some kind of fruit inside.

Shu Jintian curiously pinched a completely golden yellow strip and gently pulled it. The pod that grew rather sturdily wasnt plucked off. Instead, the pod clicked with a pop and suddenly burst open, and countless pure white granules the size of a sesame seed spilt onto the ground.

Shu Jintian was startled, not expecting this pod to suddenly split open. When he clearly saw the white granules on the ground, he was delighted, because the granules on the ground looked just like shrunken rice, but hadnt germinated and was oval-shaped like husked rice. The granules were white and hard, each grain plump. Shu Jintian picked up a few and tried them. As expected, they had the sweet smell of rice.

Great, well have staples from now on! Shu Jintian excitedly hopped, pulling Shu Hanyus hand and bouncing around like a child, his face brimming with a cheerful smile.

Shu Hanyu indulgently allowed him to drag him around. When Shu Jintian calmed slightly, he helped wipe away the sweat on his face.

Shu Jintians face was rosy, and his eyes were permeated in a clear and bright watery glow from excitement. His slightly raised peach blossom eyes were very spirited.

Shu Hanyu couldnt help staring in rapture. As if having been enticed, he kissed Shu Jintians wide eyes.

Shu Jintian was suddenly dumbfounded, and his breathing stopped as he blinked. His eyelashes that were covered by Shu Hanyus cool lips brushed against soft lips and brought about a strange sensation.

Shu Jintians heart felt a burst of throbbing. The sudden sensation felt as romantic as this scene. Shu Jintian thought in his heart, Big Snake has quite the mood, then cooperatively closed his eyes.

Shu Hanyus cool and smooth forked tongue gently swept over his eyelids and then drew a circle on his eyes. The flexible and powerful forked tongue dithered around Shu Jintians eyes, as if doing health exercises for the eyes, and felt very good.

Shu Jintian had wholeheartedly immersed himself in the romantic atmosphere, but also couldnt help black lines from covering his face right now.

Not wanting to ruin such a beautiful mood, Shu Jintian endured and didnt roast him, tilting his head upwards slightly.

Shu Hanyu sensed Shu Jintians small move and left Shu Jintians eyes, looking at him tenderly. But, why wasnt Tiantian opening his eyes?

Are your eyes uncomfortable? Did my saliva get in? Sorry, does it hurt, Tiantian?

Ah? Shu Jintian replied stupidly. He opened his eyes. This done?

Shu Jintian opened his eyes and saw Shu Hanyu looking at him with a nervous face. Shu Jintian was first stunned, then his face burnt up, hating that he couldnt find a crack to squeeze into.

This fool! Really couldnt feel the mood!

Cough, nothing. Theres a little too much dust in the wind and it just blew into my eyes, Shu Jintian said with a heated face, running to the underbrush like he was running away.

So its like that ah. Then dont run around there anymore ah. Lets hurry up and leave ba. Shu Hanyu believed him and walked after Shu Jintian.

No need, its fine now. These things can probably be eaten. I really like them, so lets bring some back ba! When Shu Jintian saw that Shu Hanyu was still following, he didnt lift his head and chose the rice stalks and acted earnestly.

Oh, want my help? As Shu Hanyu spoke, he casually picked up a wrist-thick rice stalk. In the wake of Shu Hanyus movements, the rice stalk crackled and exploded. The tiny grains fell like a drizzle, scattering on the ground.

When Shu Hanyu passed the rice stalk to Shu Jintian, most of the rice pods on the stalk were gone. The remaining rice stalks were still a little green, and appeared immature.

Ah? Dont ah, Hanyu, dont do it anymore, Ill do it. These things like to break apart, and some arent matured yet. Ill pick some good ones. When theyre fully mature, you can help me, alright?

Alright. Shu Hanyu didnt insist either, then obediently sat aside.

Shu Jintian chose a few fully mature ones and carefully pulled them out, but still dropped several rice grains. Numerous white grains scattered on the ground and were very eye-catching, making him ache just from looking.

Taking the rice stalks along made it likely for the rice to fall. Shu Jintian took off his jacket and spread it on the ground, then tapped the rice stalks on the shirt. The rice stalks immediately crackled and rattled, exploding nonstop, and his clothes now contained a layer of granules.

There were still a few that couldnt be knocked off, so Shu Jintian just manually peeled them. Fortunately, these pods had several little grains, and about ten ride stalks would gain him about four to five catties of rice.

During the morning, Shu Jintian cooked a pot of rice. He used to cook with an electric rice cooker and knew how much water to add, and cooked it with the normal amount of water for husked rice. Not long after, a fresh fragrance wafted out of the pot, and was no different from rice.

Soon, the rice was cooked. The cooked white granules were simply identical to husked rice, but was just a size smaller.

Shu Jintian felt his saliva overflowing from just looking at the rice. He quickly tried a bite; the flavour was also like rice.

After a long time, Shu Jintian finally could eat a meal of shining white rice again, his stomach had an unprecedented satisfaction. Sure enough, people who grew up in China had a hard-to-erase imprint for rice ah!

Having lived in this strange world for so long, various aspects were gradually assimilating to this environment that was absolutely unfamiliar to him, and eating was the same. From originally six meals a day, it lessened to three meals a day, but he still ate only the original two to three dishes per meal. This time, with the rice that he hadnt eaten in a long time, Shu Jintian felt his stomach become unrestricted, and he ate almost a catty of rice with some vegetables and meat.

The polished rice that wasnt much in the first place was already visibly fewer in number. Shu Jintian estimated that this rice probably could feed him for another two days; when that time came, he should bring some tools and get some more ba.
