Chapter 173.1 - Parallel World (4)

Ch173.1 – Parallel World (4)

The High Priest was almost unable to control his expression.

Why was His Majesty The Beast God here? And why was he acting like this?

Previously, His Majesty The Beast God had asked him to separate Xiong Ye from Shi Li. He’d thought that His Majesty the Beast God had liked Shi Li, but it turned out that... the person His Majesty liked was actually Xiong Ye?

The High Priest couldn’t move. At this time, Zhou Ji continued on excitedly, “I didn’t expect to see the High Priest here! I... I...” He looked like he’d just seen his idol and couldn’t speak.

The High Priest: “......” Whenever he went to see His Majesty The Beast God, His Majesty would at most only say a few words to him... Now, His Majesty had actually put on such an act...

The High Priest felt that he was going to collapse. And it was at this time that he noticed Zhou Ji winking at him. Simultaneously, the energy that prevented him from speaking disappeared.

The High Priest stumbled.

“High Priest, what’s wrong?” Xiong Ye was a little worried.

The High Priest covered his eyes with his hands, “I’m alright. I just don’t feel so good...”

“Would you like to have a rest? Shall I support you?” Zhou Ji asked.

The High Priest refused without hesitating. “No need. I’m fine, I’m already alright.” How could he let His Majesty The Beast God support him?

The High Priest finally regained his footing. He felt that the scene with the two people in front of him was incredible, and he was still completely dazed.

There seemed to be something wrong with the High Priest... Xiong Ye offered, “I’ll help you call over someone from the Beast God Temple.”

The High Priest wanted to refuse, but Zhou Ji interjected, “That’s right. High Priest, you don’t look too good. You should go back and rest well.”

The High Priest could only say, “Thank you. I’ll go back and rest right away.”

Someone soon came over to help the High Priest. Xiong Ye spoke again, “High Priest, did you come here for something?”

“It’s nothing. I was just walking around.” The High Priest laughed dryly and then used his hand to cover his eyes again––he was worried that he wouldn’t be able to control his expressions.

The High Priest was soon supported away.

Xiong Ye felt that the High Priest had acted a little strange, but he didn’t think about it too much. After the High Priest left, he looked at Zhou Ji, “Zhou Ji, you have work you need to do. Is it alright for you to come here all the time?”

Zhou Ji replied, “I always finish my work before coming here.” In fact, right at the start, Zhou Ji had thought about pretending to be pitiful, but his current appearance really wasn’t suited for that kind of act.

Also, it wouldn’t be easy to explain in the future if he really pretended to be pitiful.

“That’s good.” Xiong Ye said.

Zhou Ji continued, “I already told the person in charge that I want to go to the Big Bear Tribe, so the work I had on hand has already been handed over to others. I don’t have any work to do now... I’ll come here with ingredients tomorrow and make you fresh food?”

Xiong Ye agreed, “Alright, but you don’t need to bring ingredients. I can have the Beast God Temple prepare some.”

Xiong Ye suddenly understood why Shi Li wanted to eat delicious food. Those delicacies were so tasty!

Xiong Ye felt that even if Zhou Ji couldn’t farm, it would still be good to bring this man with him––Zhou Ji’s food was too delicious!

In any case... he could afford to take care of him.

Zhou Ji finished discussing this with Xiong Ye and left. He went back to the place where he lived, and as soon as he got there, he saw the High Priest waiting for him in the courtyard.

Zhou Ji appeared directly in front of the High Priest.

“Your Majesty!” The High Priest immediately knelt down.

Zhou Ji used his energy to lift him up, “No need to kneel.”

“Your Majesty...” The High Priest started to speak and hesitated.

Zhou Ji didn’t have any expression on his face as he looked at the High Priest and said, “You have to dissolve the mates relationship between Shi Li and Xiong Ye during the Beast God Sacrifice.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” The High Priest replied.

“Arrange for Xiong Ye to have another place, one where food can be prepared.” Zhou Ji continued.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Tomorrow, Xiong Ye will ask you not to send cooked food and send over ingredients instead. Send over the ingredients that you prepare for me... you can come over to find me in the morning and obtain some vegetables.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Zhou Ji gave many orders. He also explained the nonsense identity he’d given himself and finally said, “You can go.”

“Yes, Your Majesty... Your Majesty, that Shi Li...” The High Priest looked at Zhou Ji.

“He just needs to separate from Xiong Ye. There’s no need to concern yourself with anything else.” Zhou Ji said. Zhou Ji felt that Shi Li’s behavior was disgusting, but that was Xiong Ye’s business, and he shouldn’t interfere.

If he involved himself in too much, it wouldn’t be easy to extricate himself later on.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” The High Priest retreated.

After leaving Zhou Ji, the High Priest took a deep breath and felt that he’d finally woken up a little.

His Majesty The Beast God... had really fallen for a Beast King.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was just, why did His Majesty the Beast God take a fancy to a man? If he was interested in women, they could even have a Son of God in the future...

Many thoughts flashed through the High Priest’s mind, but he also suddenly realized that this situation was better than having the Beast God like Shi Li.

However, since the Beast God liked Xiong Ye... the High Priest who’d once felt sympathy for Xiong Ye now started to sympathize with Shi Li.

Of course, he didn’t have time to think so much. There was a lot of work to be done.

After the High Priest left Zhou Ji’s place, he immediately ordered people to arrange a new house for Xiong Ye, and then called over all the people who knew about the existence of the Beast God in the Beast God Temple and had seen the Beast God before.

These people included the priests of the Beast God Temple as well as two older Beast Kings.

Over the past thirty years, the new Beast Kings were no longer made aware of Zhou Ji’s existence. However, these two old Beast Kings had seen Zhou Ji during the early years.

According to Zhou Ji’s instructions, the High Priest told them about how Zhou Ji was hiding his identity from Xiong Ye and asked them to keep it secret.

Everyone other than the High Priest: “......” What had they just heard? The Beast God who didn’t come out of the temple all day long wanted to follow a Beast King?

“Why is His Majesty doing this? Is there something wrong with that Bear Beast King?” Someone asked.

The High Priest didn’t dare to say anything about Zhou Ji. Finally, he said, “You guys don’t have to concern yourselves over His Majesty’s affairs. His Majesty said before that we should take care of the people of the Big Bear Tribe.”

These people were a little puzzled, but the High Priest had already spoken... They all agreed one after another.

At the same time, it was inevitable that they would become curious about the Big Bear Tribe.

What exactly was going on with this Big Bear Tribe for the Beast God to treat them so differently?

Besides, they hadn’t seen the Beast God for a long time. If there was a chance, then they had to take the opportunity to meet him again.

On one side, there was a group left puzzled by the Beast God’s behavior. On the other side, Xiong Ye, who had originally planned to go to sleep, ended up entertaining a visit from the people of the Beast God Temple.

“What’s the matter?” Xiong Ye asked.

“Greetings, Bear Beast King. We’re from the Beast God Temple and came here to tell you that we’ve arranged another residence for you...” The high level Beast Warrior who was the leader of the group was smiling.

“Why?” Xiong Ye asked.

“I’m not clear on why. The High Priest ordered it.” That person said.

“Am I moving together with Shi Li?” Xiong Ye asked.

“No, you’re the only one to move. The Lion Beast King will continue to live here.” That man replied.

Xiong Ye had been puzzled by the High Priest’s actions, but things became clear after he heard this.

The High Priest would only do this if Shi Li had explained the fact that they planned to dissolve their relationship as mates to him.

Speaking of which... the High Priest hadn’t looked right when he came over. It shouldn’t be because of this matter, right?

Xiong Ye figured it out and asked, “Where is my new place?”

“Over that way. Please, Bear Beast King.” That person said.

Xiong Ye hadn’t brought anything with him when he first came to live in the Beast God Temple. At this time, he grabbed his clothes and simply left directly. He was soon sent to a house some distance away from the previous place.

This house was a little remote, but it was large, the environment was good, and it even had several rooms.

“There aren’t enough houses near the Temple, so we have to trouble the Bear Beast King to live here.” That high level Beast Warrior explained.

“It’s very good here.” Xiong Ye said. It was indeed very good there. Although it was a bit far away from the Beast God Temple, this house was much better than the one he’d lived in before.

“As long as the Bear Beast King likes it, that’s good. This used to be the High Priest’s family’s house, but the bedding and such is new. The Bear Beast King can use it as you like.” That person continued.

Xiong Ye was surprised when he heard this––the Beast God Temple had assigned him the High Priest’s family’s residence... were they worried that he’d be unhappy?

In fact, he wouldn’t be unhappy over this.

It was already dark. Xiong Ye asked everyone to leave, then entered the bedroom of the house.

This house had the scent of other people, but it had obviously been cleaned, and the scent was very light. Not only that, the bed, furniture, quilts, and so on were all brand new.

It was really thoughtful for the Beast God Temple to do all this.

Xiong Ye had been wandering out in the wild for many years and had formed the habit of being able to sleep anywhere. He slept very well that evening.

The next morning, he woke up early and went back to the house he’d previously shared with Shi Li.

He and Zhou Ji had agreed to let Zhou Ji come over, but he’d changed his residence and was worried that Zhou Ji wouldn’t be able to find him.

The house that he and Shi Li had lived in together was exactly the same as it had been when he left. It was clear that Shi Li hadn’t returned that night.

Xiong Ye didn’t find it strange at all. He laughed a little bitterly, then saw that Zhou Ji was coming.

Zhou Ji always paid attention to his appearance and kept himself very clean. Although his clothes were made out of plain animal hides, they were very detailed and were likely something he’d made himself.

“I’ve changed residences. Let’s go there.” Xiong Ye led Zhou Ji to his new house.

In fact, if it had been any other time, he wouldn’t have interacted so much with Zhou Ji.

But things had been different recently.

Ever since he’d come to the Big Bear Tribe, the changes in Shi Li had become more and more obvious, and he’d spent all his time outside with others... Xiong Ye didn’t want the Big Bear Tribe to know about these things, and so he hadn’t wanted to stay with the people from the tribe.

He didn’t want the people of the tribe to pity him when they learned that Shi Li wanted to dissolve their relationship as mates.

However, other than the people of the tribe, he didn’t know anyone else...

He’d originally thought that he could be by himself, but now that he had Zhou Ji to talk to, it was an unexpected joy, and he naturally grew closer to Zhou Ji. Not to mention that Zhou Ji had told him many useful things.

“Xiong Ye, this house is really very good. It’s much bigger than before, and there’s even a kitchen!” Zhou Ji was surprised when he looked at Xiong Ye’s new house, touching this and that as he passed by.

Xiong Ye was also affected by his delight and showed a smile on his face.

Zhou Ji said, “All the ingredients have been delivered. I’ll make food for you right away!”

Xiong Ye nodded, “Alright.”
