Yin Yao wanted to ignore the little female’s face, but her cute, obedient, smiling expression kept popping into his mind. The more he tried to ignore it, the more he remembered every single one of her actions.
In the end, he stopped forcing himself. When he looked at the little female again, he quietly made a decision in his heart.
If, after she came of age in over a year, she was still this close to him, making her his mate wouldn’t be a bad idea.
He had always avoided it because Black Wolf had already made it clear that he would wait for Ah Guoguo to come of age. But now he understood that he had also taken a liking to this little female. For beastmen, once they liked a female, they could not back down unless the female refused to accept them.
Otherwise, no matter how many males were interested in her, he would have to compete.
Thinking about Ah Guoguo possibly becoming another beastman’s mate made him feel more than a little uncomfortable.
As expected, he had taken a liking to this little female.
But what about her?
Yin Yao’s mind was a mess. Was it just a whim, curiosity, or did she feel the same way? Had she also taken a liking to him?
He wasn’t sure.
“High Priest, why are you looking at me?”
Tang Guo had noticed Yin Yao’s complicated expression, especially the look of someone secretly making a decision. She had picked up on it.
This closet romantic had finally figured it out.
“High Priest, have you also caught the illness where you feel uncomfortable unless you’re looking at me?”
Yin Yao, in the middle of drinking soup, nearly spat it out at those words. How could Ah Guoguo… think he would get such an illness?
But then his brows furrowed. Wait. If she became another beastman’s mate, he really would feel uncomfortable.
And when he looked at her, he really did feel a little… comfortable.
Seeing Yin Yao fall into deep inner conflict, Tang Guo was already laughing inwardly.
System: Sigh… the host is bullying someone who doesn’t have their memories again.
“No.”
Yin Yao denied it, deciding to wait until she came of age.
Tang Guo didn’t keep teasing him and instead asked, “High Priest, I heard you say earlier that you were going to gather herbs?”
“Yes. The beast tide is coming soon. We need to prepare more.”
“I’ll go with you.”
Yin Yao was about to refuse, but when he saw her hopeful eyes, he said, “Alright. We’ll leave early tomorrow morning.”
Night fell, and Gaien and Ning Luo still hadn’t returned. Many members of the tribe were worried, wondering if something had happened to them.
Among the female beastmen, many were gossiping. They were certain Gaien was too strong to be in trouble, and if anything had happened, it must have been because the weak Ning Luo had dragged him down.
For now, all the beastmen were complaining that if Ning Luo weren’t always causing trouble, Gaien wouldn’t be in danger.
As for the males, they were worried about Gaien but didn’t criticize Ning Luo.
In this beastman era, female beastmen had a strong admiration for strength, so it was normal for them to dislike Ning Luo. The males were slightly better about it. In their eyes, no matter how strong a female was, she was still weaker than a male physically.
They didn’t think Ning Luo would drag Gaien down. Since she was his mate, it was only natural for Gaien to risk his life to protect her.
Tang Guo wasn’t worried at all. Ning Luo and Gaien wouldn’t be in trouble, and even if they were, it had nothing to do with her. She turned back into her residence and went to sleep.
The next morning, she still had to go gather herbs with Yin Yao.
Early the next day, when Tang Guo got up, she heard noise and commotion outside.

Disappointed the author didn’t include more descriptions of the other beast men smelling the food, if Tang Guy cooked it outside…
