Ch150 – Scheme
If soybeans were crushed into powder, added to water then boiled in a pot for a long time, it would result in soy milk.
Zhou Ji couldn’t make tofu and had never made tofu before, but he had made soy milk using a soy milk machine before, so he knew how to make it. He also knew that it had to be boiled several times.
Perhaps the soybeans had been crushed too finely, because there was no residue in the soy milk that he made. Only the strong scent of soybeans wafted out.
However, if it was cooked for too long, the taste would fade.
The pale, white soy milk was left in the pottery pot and looked very attractive. Xiong Ye spoke, “It’s the same color as nursing milk.”
Zhou Ji: “……” Xiong Ye really didn’t pay attention to decorum when he described things!
“Is it tasty to drink?” Xiong Ye continued. The food that Zhou Ji made was all delicious, but he didn’t know if it this thing would taste good when drunk…
“Yes.” Zhou Ji picked up a bowl and scooped up a bowl of soy milk. He added a spoonful of sugar into it before handing it to Xiong Ye to drink. Not very many people enjoyed drinking soy milk directly, but most people were able to adapt to the taste if sugar was added.
He believed that Xiong Ye who liked to eat sweet things, would definitely like it.
“Zhou Ji, let me try some.” Hai Feng came up and said, “Soybeans are obviously yellow, but they’ve turned into such a milky pale soup now… it looks really good.”
Zhou Ji gave Hai Feng a bowl of soy milk but without adding sugar.
The sugar he and Xiong Ye usually ate was extracted from the sweet cane. It required a lot of effort in order to obtain just a small amount… he didn’t give it out to others easily.
Hai Feng accepted the bowl and was full of expectations when he took a sip, but then he froze.
“Grandfather…” Xi Baobei leaned in.
Hai Feng handed the bowl of soy milk to Xi Baobei, “Baobei, have it.”
Xi Baobei also expectantly took a sip, then froze.
“Baobei…” The Rhinoceros Beast King glanced their way.
Xi Baobei gave the soymilk to his father and having learned from Hai Feng, said the same words, “Father, have it.”
The Rhinoceros Beast King was very happy to try all kinds of new and fresh food from the Big Bear Tribe and accepted the soy milk. He took a sip.
Hai Feng was waiting for him to show an expression of dislike, but unexpectedly, the Rhinoceros Beast King was pleasantly surprised, “The taste is not bad.”
The vegetable-loving Rhinoceros Beast King quite enjoyed the plain taste of soy milk.
“If the Rhinoceros Beast King likes it, have more.” Zhou Ji generously invited the Rhinoceros Beast King to drink with him.
He also didn’t mind the taste of plain soy milk, but others didn’t enjoy it. He and the Rhinoceros Beast King finished off the rest of the soy milk.
After the other Beast Kings had left, the Rhinoceros Beast King stayed behind again. It was obvious that he planned to live there.
It was impossible for him to go all the way back to investigate this matter now, but it was also impossible for those people to leave no trace after making a move against his son… The Rhinoceros Beast King had caught several people from the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe who were at the Beast God Temple and after interrogating them, he had learned some information.
For example, many people in the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe were dissatisfied with his son.
They felt that since his son was a fool, he shouldn’t receive such good treatment and shouldn’t be able to enjoy so many benefits.
The Rhinoceros Beast King had found it funny when he heard about it.
The main reason why the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe could live so well now was because of him. Unlike the other Beast Kings who had sons and daughters and grandsons and granddaughters, he only had this one son… What was wrong with letting him enjoy himself more?
In fact, because his son was young and silly, he actually didn’t enjoy many things.
It might even be the case that the son of the tribal chief of their Giant Rhinoceros Tribe indulged in more of the pleasures of life than his own son––he had a whole pile of women.
Of course, this wasn’t the only reason why his son had almost died. If it was only due to dissatisfaction, those people certainly would have just waited until he was dead before treating his son badly or abandoning him.
These people made a move against his son because he’d been looking for a Beast God Fruit to give to his son to make his own child stronger.
It was unknown when it started, but there was a rumor in the tribe that he had already found a Beast God Fruit and would give it to his son when he grew stronger.
There was a ripple in the Rhinoceros Beast King’s heart when he heard about this rumor.
If they had only been dissatisfied with his son, those people would have no reason to make a move, but if there was this kind of rumor…
The current tribal chief of the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe had a degree of blood kinship with him. They had the same grandmother.
This kind of relationship was a little distant, but because his son’s situation was different from the rest, he took good care of the tribal chief and was also very good to his children. He hoped that they would take care of his son in turn.
Yet as a result, perhaps because he’d been too good to this person, he’d actually become greedy!
“He might be the one who made a move against Baobei!” The Rhinoceros Beast King’s expression was cold.
He often left the tribe to go looking for a Beast God Fruit. Every time when he went back, he would see that his son was still in good condition and would feel very grateful to the tribe. However, now he realized… his son might not have lived very well in the tribe.
The Rhinoceros Beast King was very indecisive. On one hand, he still had feelings for the tribe, and on the other hand, he really detested the tribe.
“What are you thinking of?” Zhou Ji asked.
“They took a lot of things from me. I plan to take it all back.” The Rhinoceros Beast King said.
“For example?”
“I want to take them to fight against someone else or something.” The Rhinoceros Beast King said, “For such a rumor to appear in the tribe, it must be related to the surrounding tribes as well. I’ll bring the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe to fight against them, and everyone will be done for by the end!”
Despite the Rhinoceros Beast King being a Beast King, he was actually very petty. If he’d been deceived by others, he would definitely want to get revenge.
The Giant Rhinoceros Tribe had developed because of him. Now, he wanted them to become weak because of him, and he would also take advantage of the opportunity to kill those who dared to deceive him.
Zhou Ji reminded him, “You still need to take care of Xi Baobei.”
Even if they were Beast Kings, they would still grow old, grow sick, and die. In fact, in this world, although the life-span of a Beast King was a little longer than that of ordinary beastmen, they would still only live to a little over 100 and generally wouldn’t reach 120.
If the Rhinoceros Beast King kicked up a fuss at random, he might end up losing his life.
“I know. I have to think of a way to get them to fight, and then leave.” The Rhinoceros Beast King suddenly thought of something, “Can I join the Big Bear Tribe?”
“Yes.” Zhou Ji said. He didn’t mind having more Beast Kings in the tribe at all.
“In that case, I’ll become one of the Big Bear Tribe’s people!” The Rhinoceros Beast King said. “I’ve heard you guys talk about some Big Bear Tribe’s matters. It sounds pretty good… I’ll go live with you in the wild forest in the future.”
“Alright.” Zhou Ji agreed.
The Rhinoceros Beast King happily took his son with him and went to bed.
He hadn’t spent much time in the tribe before, and hadn’t spent much time with Xi Baobei, which was why Xi Baobei would treat him the same way he treated Hai Feng. However, he’d been with Xi Baobei all the time recently, and Xi Baobei had grown much closer to him now.
After the Rhinoceros Beast King and Xi Baobei went to sleep, Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye also went back to their room.
Xiong Ye had been particularly handsome and amazing when he tossed Shi Li around during the day today. He wanted to get intimate with Xiong Ye and toss him about!
For Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji, that evening was another night that made them blush, a night where their heartbeats sped up.
But that day was a bitter day for Shi Li.
It hadn’t been easy for him to improve his life, but Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji had suddenly appeared and destroyed it once again.
Shi Li had originally wanted to fix his relationship with Xiong Ye before, but he had given up the idea completely. Now, he had started to hate Xiong Ye.
He hated Xiong Ye for not treating him as well as he treated Zhou Ji, and also hated Xiong Ye for suddenly becoming a Beast King.
Why did he have to suffer so many hardships before becoming a Beast King, and even end up with a huge hidden danger in his body, but Xiong Ye could obtain a Beast God Fruit and smoothly become a Beast King after eating it?
Clearly he was the one who was favored by the Beast God. Things shouldn’t be happening like this!
It was already dark outside by the time Shi Li went out of his room and came to the Beast God Temple.
The Beast God Temple he’d seen in his previous life was a little different from the current one. At that time, the mountain behind the Beast God Temple had been razed to the ground, and some houses had been built on what was left. Even the Beast God Temple had been moved back. But now, the houses from his previous life weren’t there.
Shi Li walked around the Beast God Temple and encountered the patrols.
He often came here and the patrols knew him, so they didn’t stop him. Shi Li was able to enter the Beast God Temple smoothly.
Seeing the Beast God, Shi Li’s raging emotions finally calmed down.
The Beast God liked him very much. Not only had he become a Beast King in his previous life, the Beast God had probably felt that he hadn’t had a good time of it and had given him a second chance to come back.
Unfortunately, he hadn’t managed to grasp the opportunity.
Shi Li knelt down to repent and began to pray. He hoped that the Beast God would help him change all of this and again make him a Beast King that all the beastmen adored.
He believed that the Beast God would help him.
Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye weren’t respectful to the Beast God. They definitely couldn’t be compared with Shi Li!
By the time Shi Li left the Beast God Temple, it was already very late.
And it was at this time that he suddenly thought of Zhu Zhan’s two brothers who had been settled in a small house nearby. He had a sudden idea.
As long as Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji didn’t exist, his future would be smooth and successful.
As for how to deal with Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji…
Shi Li thought about Zhu Zhan’s exile, and the story that Zhu Zhan’s two younger brothers had shared about Zhu Zhan getting the help of the devil in order to return.
The people of the Big Bear Tribe must also have obtained the help of the devil in order to change their fate. He would find a way to have this devil be the cause of their death!
As for how to deal with this devil… he’d have to rely on the other Beast Kings.
Shi Li knew in his heart that the other Beast Kings didn’t like him, but he had one good thing on hand that could appeal to the Beast Kings’ greed. It was the cultivation method.
At this kind of time, he would have to give some things up in order to obtain the support of the other Beast Kings.
Shi Li spent all night pondering the matter while Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye had a good night’s sleep.
The next day, Xiong Ye went out hunting just before dawn. Zhou Ji asked the people of the Big Bear Tribe to put out the gifts that they’d received yesterday and wait for others to come over and trade things.
This matter… was very easy to do.
As soon as the things of the Big Bear Tribe were set out, countless people came over to trade with them. And when they came over to trade for things, they were more willing to give more to the Big Bear Tribe, and their attitudes were incredibly good.
Yesterday, they had felt that the Big Bear Tribe was foolish and had too much money, no, too much salt, and had thought of ways to trick more out of the Big Bear Tribe. Today, they all came to the Big Bear Tribe with things that they thought were good.
Unfortunately, the Big Bear Tribe wasn’t interested in most of those things.
However, there were other things that they ended up trading a lot of. For example, everyone now had new clothes.
