Stone Age Husband Raising Journal

Ch171.1 – Parallel World (2)

Perhaps because he’d been too bored, but Zhou Ji treated this dream like a TV show.

After watching more, from an outsider’s perspective, he started to suspect that this Shi Li had transmigrated just like him.

However, he quickly rejected this idea because Shi Li was very familiar with the world. He had also wanted to kill Hu Yue, who had no relationship with him in the tribe.

More importantly, he seemed to know Xiang Tian and also knew his identity.

Was this... a rebirth?

Zhou Ji sympathized a little with Xiong Ye. His beloved mate couldn’t wait to dump him after his rebirth.

However, Zhou Ji’s sympathy didn’t last long because Xiong Ye proposed to him in the dream, and the him in the dream also agreed...

Zhou Ji was stunned by this sudden plot twist!

He couldn’t imagine himself having a mate.

However... In the dream, he had a mate and lived quite a good life.

Zhou Ji saw Xiong Ye trying to take care of him, watched as they grew closer and closer and made efforts to develop the tribe together.

Zhou Ji abruptly woke up.

What entered his gaze was his own cold bedroom. He stretched out his spiritual powers and confirmed that he was surrounded by the place he was most familiar with.

Zhou Ji closed his eyes again, flipped over, and went back to sleep.

In the dream, he and Xiong Ye continued to pass their days together.

They didn’t quarrel, and there were no misunderstandings. There were only the small mundane parts of life, but they made him feel warm, and he couldn’t help but indulge in it a bit.

This dream lasted for many days, and he followed the two people in his dream over the course of many years.

He became more and more jealous of the Zhou Ji in his dream.

Like him, that person also became the Beast God. But while he lay there alone in the temple, this man took Xiong Ye with him and ate, drank, and played.

Perhaps it was because he was entertained but that Zhou Ji was very motivated to do some of the things he hadn’t wanted to do, and then he’d enjoyed an even better life!

At his current age, that person had already eaten tofu, used soy sauce, and there were even people writing storybooks for him read!

What about him?

Because he’d been lazy and didn’t like the Beast God Temple very much, not only had he not taught the people of the Beast God Temple how to read, he hadn’t messed around with tofu, soy sauce, or any of the like either. He’d only given some of the plants he’d found to the people of the Beast God Temple to plant.

That day, Zhou Ji got up from his bed and casually filled his stomach before quietly leaving the Beast God Temple.

He wanted to go and see the two new Beast Kings who had come to the Beast God Temple–Xiong Ye and Shi Li.

It had been many years since he’d seen them, and he didn’t know what they looked like now.

Zhou Ji soon found Xiong Ye.

Xiong Ye and Shi Li had been arranged accommodations in the place that the Beast God Temple had prepared for Beast Kings to live in. However, at this time, only Xiong Ye was in the house as he concentrated on cultivating.

The cultivation method he’d given to Xiong Ye back then wasn’t easy to use. Now that Xiong Ye had become a Beast King, the effect of this cultivation method was even lower.

However, Xiong Ye was still cultivating, which was very hardworking of him.

Zhou Ji used his spiritual powers to observe the situation and found that the Xiong Ye in front of him was quite different from the one in his dream.

The Xiong Ye in his dream had always lived well. Even when he grew old, he still looked young, but the Xiong Ye in front of him was different.

He was nearly fifty years old. Although he was still in his peak state due to being a Beast King, his face was weathered, and his bare upper body carried many scars.

Even the area between Xiong Ye’s eyebrows had deep wrinkles.

When he first transmigrated over, Xiong Ye had only been eighteen years old. Although he had to worry about going hungry, he’d never looked like this... He’d probably had a really hard time over the past years.

Zhou Ji’s mind was filled with some unclear thoughts.

In any case, there was nothing else to do, so Zhou Ji stayed outside for a while. After he’d been there for a while, Shi Li came back.

Xiong Ye wore nothing but a simple animal hide skirt, but Shi Li was different. He wore a robe and had also put on a lot of accessories. He looked very much like a Beast King.

“Xiong Ye, are you cultivating again? We’re already Beast Kings. This cultivation method has already become useless to us for a long time.” Shi Li said this as soon as he came in.

In fact, the effect of this cultivation method had already become less effective ever since they had become high level Beast Warriors, so Shi Li hadn’t cultivated very often. Mostly, he’d cultivated by absorbing the crystal cores of beasts and animals.

However, Xiong Ye had always been stupid. He didn’t use crystal cores much and insisted on cultivating using this method.

Of course, this was good for Shi Li. Otherwise, Shi Li might never have been able to catch up with Xiong Ye and become a Beast King at the same time as him.

Xiong Ye looked at Shi Li, and his gaze softened a lot, “I’m already used to it.”

Shi Li pursed his lips and said, “You should wear clothes. How come you’re still wearing animal hide skirts?”

“I’m not going out anyway.” Xiong Ye said.

“You can’t be so sloppy even when you’re at home.” Shi Li was disgruntled.

The softness in Xiong Ye’s eyes disappeared, and his brow wrinkled instead.

However, Shi Li didn’t notice this. He continued, “We’re not from a big tribe, and there are many things we don’t understand. You should go out more and experience more things so that people won’t look down on us.”

Xiong Ye replied, “I’m already a Beast King. Who would dare to look down on me?”

The atmosphere between the two people wasn’t good. At this time, the people of the Beast God Temple brought over food.

Shi Li ate in silence, then went out again.

Zhou Ji followed behind him quietly, then watched as he was flattered by some of the big tribes who didn’t have Beast Kings, and he looked quite puffed up from the praise.

Zhou Ji didn’t find it strange to see Shi Li like this.

In this world, there were many people who no longer remembered what they had once been called when they finally became successful. It was only normal for Shi Li to be like this as well.

The Shi Li in front of him was similar to some upstarts on Earth, and was also very similar to the Shi Li in his dream. Sure enough, the Shi Li in his dream had been reborn...

Zhou Ji noticed that the people of those tribes had found some men and women to serve Shi Li.

Shi Li didn’t do anything to those men and women, but he didn’t refuse them, and it was obvious that he enjoyed the service of these people. Seeing Shi Li’s attitude, someone immediately suggested that Shi Li bring these people back.

However, Shi Li hesitated at this time. “That isn’t necessary. My mate won’t be happy.”

If Shi Li’s mate had been anyone else, these people would definitely advise Shi Li to just accept them or simply send these people to Shi Li’s house. However, Shi Li’s mate was Xiong Ye, who was another Beast King.

These people wanted to please Shi Li, but they didn’t want to offend another Beast King, so they didn’t do anything else.

Zhou Ji noticed that Shi Li was a little annoyed, but he was soon happy again from these people’s flattery.

While eating meat, he looked his fill of the beautiful young men and women who were waiting on him, and talked about his previous experiences killing dinosaurs.

He made it sound very hot-blooded, but Zhou Ji always felt that it was a little wrong when he listened to it.

It was likely that Shi Li had actually killed those dinosaurs, but based on his strength at that time, it was basically impossible for him to kill them alone, so... Xiong Ye must have been attacking back then too.

But now, Shi Li didn’t mention Xiong Ye at all.

He could tell that Shi Li’s feelings for Xiong Ye had already changed.

It made sense. How many people could remain loyal and not cast aside their partners after becoming rich?

Shi Li probably didn’t dare to do anything now because Xiong Ye was very powerful, and he didn’t have the courage to go against him.

Zhou Ji felt that he must really be very bored, to actually watch Shi Li show off for such a long time...

It continued on until night fell. Shi Li was ready to go back, but he was stopped on the way back.

The person who’d stopped Shi Li was a woman with a well built body and scars on her face. Zhou Ji observed from the dark for a while before recognizing her as Hu Yue of the Big Bear Tribe and Xiong Ye’s sister.

When he’d been in the Big Bear Tribe, he hadn’t had a deep impression of Hu Yue. He only remembered that she was a strong but quiet woman, and the Hu Yue now... appeared a little gloomy. The expression she had when she looked at Shi Li was also very penetrating.

Hu Yue stared fixedly at Shi Li, then said, “Shi Li, you’d better stop. If you keep fooling around with these people, I’ll tell Xiong Ye about it.”

“What do you mean fooling around? I just went out to chat with some people and have dinner!” Shi Li said, “I’m the tribal chief. You should be more respectful!”

“If you respect Xiong Ye, I’ll respect you.” Hu Yue said.

Shi Li’s expression turned a little ugly, “You don’t need to remind me!”

Shi Li tossed down this sentence and left. Hu Yue didn’t try to catch up to him, but Zhou Ji quietly followed behind him. Then, he heard Shi Li curse.

After Shi Li finished cursing, his expression didn’t become any better. Finally, he was filled with anger when he went back to where he and Xiong Ye lived.

Zhou Ji was suddenly struck with dissatisfaction about the fact that the two of them were going to sleep together.

Fortunately, he didn’t have to see such a scene.

By the time Shi Li returned, Xiong Ye had already gone to sleep long ago. He stared at Xiong Ye for a while before suddenly turning to look at the place where Zhou Ji lived, then ran off in that direction.

Zhou Ji was stunned, and then hurried back to his house one step ahead of him. Very soon after, Shi Li arrived and looked cautiously at the door.

After a while, he flipped over the wall and came inside the courtyard.

Zhou Ji observed Shi Li from the second floor of the temple and suddenly felt that... Shi Li seemed to be interested in the Beast God?

Shi Li was indeed interested in the Beast God.

He wanted to know if the Beast God really existed.

Shi Li had had such doubts for a long time, and the reason why he had such doubts was that after becoming a high level Beast Warrior, he suddenly regretted that he’d tied himself to Xiong Ye so early as mates.

Other high level Beast Warriors could have many women, but what about him? Because of Xiong Ye, he didn’t know what it was like to have a woman and still didn’t have any children.

He was so talented, but had no children of his own to inherit everything. It was too much of a pity!

He wanted children.

However, Xiong Ye would never agree.

After arriving at the Beast God Temple, he’d met some people who had become mates and eventually separated, so he’d also begun to think about separating from Xiong Ye. However, because Xiong Ye was very powerful, he was afraid of doing so and getting punished by the Beast God, so he’d never dared to separate.

Of course, he would be like this because he knew that he’d lose a lot if he really split up with Xiong Ye–if he really did so, more than half of the people of the Big Bear Tribe would choose Xiong Ye over him.

However, now that he was a Beast King, there were many things he no longer needed to worry about.

So what if the people of the Big Bear Tribe all chose Xiong Ye? His identity as a Beast King would immediately attract many followers for him!

Of course, even if that was the case, he was still worried that Xiong Ye would be unwilling, and there was also the Beast God...

The cultivation method he’d been able to obtain was a gift from the Beast God. If he did something that made the Beast God dissatisfied, would the Beast God become angry at him?

Shi Li entered the Beast God Temple that wasn’t easily accessible and was then stunned by the scene on the other side of the courtyard wall.

It was now spring, and most trees didn’t have fruit on their branches. However, in this yard, there were many fruits that should have only matured during summer or autumn. The trees were covered in ripe fruit that could be picked and eaten at any time.

This must be a miracle that the Beast God had brought about!

Shi Li hesitated slightly, but after thinking about it, he still walked towards the temple.

Zhou Ji frowned discontentedly.

Before, he had only felt dislike for Shi Li, but now... he was disgusted by Shi Li.

Without Xiong Ye, Shi Li would’ve starved to death as a child. Without Xiong Ye, Shi Li would never have become a Beast King. Yet now that he was powerful, he no longer took Xiong Ye seriously.

He used his spirit and energy together and pushed Shi Li out even before he opened the door to the temple.

No, it couldn’t be called a push.

Zhou Ji was in a bad mood and used a bit more strength. He directly tossed Shi Li out.

Shi Li was caught off guard and thrown out of the yard. His face turned white, and he finally hurriedly flipped over to kneel on the ground, “Beast God up above, I didn’t mean to offend you...”

Throwing out a Beast King so lightly... Other than the Beast God, who else could do such a thing?

Shi Li was now in a state of extreme fear.

He knelt there for a while before leaving cautiously.

Zhou Ji had originally wanted to teach him more of a lesson, but he felt that his current state of mind was a little mean and ultimately didn’t do anything.

Shi Li didn’t know what Zhou Ji was thinking. He only thought that the Beast God had forgiven him and left feeling uneasy.
