Chapter 50: Beast God’s Envoy, Little Hedgehog [End]

Jing noticed Little Hedgehog’s dissatisfaction with the plant growing taller than him. Every time he went to see it, he would let Jiujiu stand on his shoulder.

At first, Jiujiu was full of resistance, but after realizing that he was taller than the plant when standing on his father’s shoulder, he became arrogant again, wanting to put his hands on his hips. What’s the use of growing taller? He could stand on his father’s shoulder and look down at it.

Jing looked at Little Hedgehog’s proud demeanor and lowered his head to inspect the plants. Since these were just trial plantings brought back to the tribe, there weren’t many of them.

As time went on, Jiujiu gradually discovered that this thing was different from the rice in his memory. It could really grow tall, as tall as his father.

This tall plant, however, was not willing to bear many fruits. If they were to rely on it as a staple food, several beastmen would starve to death first.

Aside from its advantage of being easy to store, in Jiujiu’s eyes, it was simply full of flaws.

However, after harvesting, they discovered that it could be used for warmth. Because of its height, it could even be made into a bed without much effort.

Jing had lived in this world since he was young, and he had also experienced periods of hunger.

So he didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. As long as they had one more type of food, it meant one more hope for them.

Even if its yield was not high, as long as there was a yield, it was important. Food that could be stored in winter was extremely important to them.

Jiujiu was diligently working step by step on every task that the Beast God had assigned him.

From the initial use of tools, to writing, record-keeping, planting, and domestication, after ensuring their basic sustenance, he began teaching them to build houses and warehouses suitable for storing food.

Because this knowledge was too complex, beastmen from other tribes simply came to them to learn.

On the first day of their arrival, after waiting for a long time and still not seeing Jiujiu, they inevitably felt a little anxious standing there, beginning to wonder if the Beast God’s Emissary was unwilling to see them.

“Jing, is the Beast God’s Emissary displeased with the gifts we brought?”

When Jing met the anxious gaze of the large bird, he cleared his throat and replied:

“He, he should be quite pleased.”

He had just woken up, squinted his eyes, first bit into a fruit, then kicked the pit away with his paw, and then continued to sleep in a comfortable position.

“That’s good.”

Around noon, Jiujiu finally got up. Yesterday, when he was demonstrating to these beastmen how to build houses, he was so frustrated by their stupidity that he couldn’t help but ask his father to prepare some smaller pieces of wood to demonstrate himself.

He demonstrated until very late, and today all he wanted to do was rest, but his father said that people were already outside.

As he walked out with steady steps, Jiujiu originally wanted to make a cool entrance, but perhaps he didn’t control it well, and almost got stepped on by a beastman who had been waiting for him anxiously.

“Father!!!”

Jiujiu ran very fast. When Jing subconsciously looked down, a Little Hedgehog was already hanging on his leg.

Fortunately, Jiujiu had now gained experience and realized how sharp the thorns that carried fruit could be, so Jing didn’t bleed.

“He stepped on me, Father!!”

Jiujiu’s voice was filled with disbelief. Since he came to this world, this was the first time he had encountered something so outrageous.

He was small, yes, but not so small that he couldn’t be seen.

“You’re too small, others might not have noticed.”

Jing’s voice attracted the attention of the other beastmen. They looked over, placed their right hand on their chest over their left shoulder, and bowed slightly.

“Beast God’s Emissary.”

Jiujiu snorted lightly. Considering he was indeed quite small, he wouldn’t get angry.

Jing had Xiu bring over some herbs that had been prepared long ago. Jiujiu’s main purpose today was to teach them to identify medicinal herbs.

Before this, most of these things were classified by the beastmen as inedible, but today Jiujiu was telling them that this was not the case.

Fever and sneezing were very normal in the beastman world, and not even considered illnesses.

It was just a slight discomfort in the body. They would silently pray for the Beast God’s blessing, and after some time, they would naturally get better.

Jiujiu found all the corresponding herbs and instructed the beastmen who came to learn what each one treated, and what could be treated by mixing certain ones together.

He explained clearly, but the beastmen sent to learn, even though they were recognized as the smartest in their own tribes, were still dizzy from listening.

Jiujiu only told them the simplest things. Medicine is profound, and learning is endless. Knowing even a little bit is enough to solve most problems in the beastman world.

The once backward Primitive Tribe was gradually moving towards prosperity. Most of the time, Jiujiu liked to stay with his father at the highest point and look down.

These things were basically built little by little under his guidance. Every time he saw them, he felt a very strange sense of pride in his heart.

Jing was willing to accompany Little Hedgehog to watch. Every day, he patiently stuck fruits on the little one’s thorns, watching him proudly carry the fruits everywhere.

He especially loved watching Jiujiu run to him with fruits, his face full of pride, asking if his father’s Jiujiu was the cutest Little Hedgehog cub.

Just then, a commotion suddenly erupted below, with faint voices saying that they had found a female beastman in the forest.

The Little Hedgehog, who was sitting there admiring the tribe built under his guidance, couldn’t sit still when he heard this. This Female Lead wouldn’t expose his identity as the Beast God’s Emissary, would she?

As soon as this thought popped into his head, Jiujiu himself suppressed it.

She probably couldn’t expose him anyway. He was truly the Beast God’s Emissary. Star Lord had stamped his approval with the Beast God and made it clear.

When Jing saw that the beastmen in the tribe were actually bringing a strange beastman here, he felt somewhat displeased. They had no sense of caution at all.

Most wandering beastmen had committed very serious mistakes, otherwise no tribal chief would be willing to let the Beast God’s people fall to that extent.

“Do you want to go see, cub?”

Jiujiu subconsciously nodded and climbed into the bag hanging on his father’s body, where he usually stayed.

Females were not rare in the tribe, nor was there a situation where there were many more males than females; the overall environment had reached a balance.

If it were truly a case of one female being fought over by countless males, and countless males having no partners, their tribe would not have been able to continue to this day.

The lively scene instantly quieted down as the Tribal Chief approached. The beastmen automatically made way, allowing the Tribal Chief to approach the center.

“There’s a rule in the tribe: wandering beastmen are not allowed to be brought back to the tribe.”

“Xue is not a wandering beastman.”

“If she’s not a wandering beastman, how did she end up here, and how did you bring her back?”

If a beastman went missing in any tribe, they would search for them even in winter. The probability of this was close to zero.

The beastman who brought Xue back didn’t know how to explain, but he was willing to believe Xue.

“Father, drive them out, drive them out!”

In the original plot, his own father was driven out by this woman and the beastman beside her. Jiujiu’s eyes glowed red when he saw them.

Before, he was busy with proper matters and couldn’t find the beastman from the original plot after searching around. He had even planned to secretly poke him a few times.

After the Female Lead appeared, the beastman, who was originally as blurry as a passerby, suddenly transformed into the male lead.

The beastman was a little angry because of what Jiujiu said, his eyes filled with intense anger, and he directly cursed:

“The Beast God is merciful, are you really the Beast God’s Emissary?”

Xue, standing there, probably guessed the reason. Her hands at her sides clenched tightly. She looked up and scanned the beastmen, already concluding in her heart that this was an uneducated and very feudal village.

“There is no god in this world.”

The beastmen, who had been angered by the male lead, now turned their angry gaze towards Xue because of this statement.

“What are you saying?”

For most beastmen, the Beast God was a belief more important than their own lives.

If the Beast God wanted them to die, they would not hesitate to offer their necks. This female beastman denied the existence of the Beast God as soon as she spoke, as if she was trampling their faith into mud underfoot.

“Tribes that believe in the Beast God do not welcome you, and the Beast God will not be willing to protect you!”

“The Beast God is merciful! But you are filthy, and the Beast God’s mercy will not descend upon you.”

This time, Jiujiu and the Tribal Chief didn’t even need to speak. The beastmen spontaneously wanted to drive them away.

The Beast God exists. He constantly watches over his people to see if they are doing well, and when he finds that they are not doing well in winter, he sends the Beast God’s Emissary to guide them.

The gradually improving days were the best proof.

Jing originally wanted them to leave early, but the emotional beastmen were already eager to send them away directly, feeling unbearable to see them stay in front of them for another second.

“Tribal Chief, drive them out! Clean out the cave where this beastman lives and put fruits in it for the Beast God’s Emissary!”

Jiujiu’s spirits lifted when he heard this. He nodded vigorously, “Yes, yes, put fruits in it!” He had just discovered a type of fruit that was very easy to store, with a storage time of nearly half a year.

Because there was too much food stored for winter now, he could only move it into his and his father’s cave.

Xue didn’t expect things to turn out this way. In her view, gods were inherently bizarre, and it was impossible for such a thing as protecting people to exist.

Jiujiu saw the angry beastmen and thought of the Beast God he had seen, a female who looked very compassionate and sacred. She had always been concerned about the lives of her people.

The emotional beastmen not only drove them out but also chased them far, far away overnight. Even when the beastman who brought Xue back later changed his mind, he was still sent away with them.

When he woke up the next day, the sunlight shone on Jiujiu. He instinctively curled up tightly to avoid the sun, but when he smelled the sweet scent of fruit, he instinctively got up.

“Father!”
