“Xiong Ye! What are you trying to do!” Shi Li frowned as he looked at Xiong Ye. Xiong Ye actually invited Zhou Ji to live with him… This hadn’t happened in his previous life!

Of course nothing like this had happened in his previous life. Xiong Ye had been busy hunting and setting up their cave. He wouldn’t have had any time to pay attention to Zhou Ji, which would have made it even more impossible for him to invite Zhou Ji to live together with him.

That was the cave meant for him and Shi Li. How could he have let Zhou Ji move in?

But at this moment, Xiong Ye completely ignored Shi Li and only said to Zhou Ji, “I’ll help you move your things.”

“Thank you.” Zhou Ji was still a little distant. Of course, in the eyes of the people of the tribe, he just appeared to be a little foolish and dazed.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiong Ye began to help him pack up.

“Xiong Ye, you’re really going to let Zhou Ji live with you? Have you gone mad?!” Shi Li tried to stop Xiong Ye.

“What does this have to do with you?” Xiong Ye retorted. Shi Li’s scent made him distance himself away from him in disgust.

He had been very heartbroken two days ago, but the dust had now settled, and he couldn’t feel anything at all. It was as though his heart was completely empty.

“You shouldn’t throw a tantrum like this.” Shi Li said.

Xiong Ye looked at Shi Li impatiently, “I’m not throwing a tantrum. Also, please move aside.”

Shi Li didn’t want to move aside, but at this moment, Xiong He called out discontentedly, “Shi Li! What are you doing!?”

Shi Li finally realized that he was in the wrong. He wanted to say something more, but Xiong Ye had already started to help Zhou Ji move his things.

Zhou Ji had a lot of belongings, so Xiong Ye used animal skins to wrap up all the miscellaneous things and climbed up to his own cave with one hand–His cave was a little high up, and it couldn’t be reached via the steps. There was a section that had to be scaled.

Zhou Ji took in the situation, picked up several items, and followed him up.

As a result, he had just made it up the steps when the items he’d been carrying in his hands were snatched away by Xiong Ye who had already come back down, “It’s dangerous going up. I’ll take them up to the cave for you.”

Xiong Ye had dug out some footholds under his cave to make it easier to climb up, but at the end of the day, it still wasn’t as convenient as having steps. It might be fine if Zhou Ji was climbing up by himself, but Xiong Ye wasn’t assured of Zhou Ji’s safety if he had to scale up the wall while carrying his things.

Since Xiong Ye had spoken up, Zhou Ji simply gave up on taking things with him and climbed up on his own, then sat down at the entrance of the cave.

He had come up to Xiong Ye’s cave last night, but it had already been dark, and he had only stayed for a short while, leaving as soon as he had given Xiong Ye the piece of meat that he had roasted with juice from plants that had a calming effect. Because of this, he hadn’t looked at the cave in detail.

Looking at it now, Zhou Ji discovered that the cave was a little bigger than the one he had lived in before and was surprisingly very clean.

He liked this cave even more now.

The cave was located very high up, and there were no messy neighbors around. It was also clean and spacious… The only drawback was that he now had a roommate that he wasn’t accustomed to having.
