The barley that had been shelled using his plant abilities was simmered slowly in a stone pot over a small fire, giving off the faint fragrance of cooked rice.

The process of making barley porridge couldn’t be sped up. Zhou Ji waited patiently, adding wood to the fire from time to time as he watched the people of the tribe dance and sing.

It was rare for strangers to come to the tribe, so everyone was very happy. Some members of the tribe had already begun to hook up; Xiong Qi and Bao Yu were also very close and intimate.

Things had remained ambiguous between the two of them during the journey back, but it was obvious that they were planning to begin a relationship together tonight.

Zhou Ji had checked the bodies of Bao Yu and the rest of the Little Brook Tribe earlier and discovered that Bao Yu was already pregnant. Of course, she probably didn’t know… Xiong Qi was going to end up as the father for someone else’s child.

But people from this era didn’t attach much importance to these things.

Even if it was someone else’s child, as long as the child identified someone as their father, then that father of theirs would give them some extra care during their childhood

This was similar to some nomadic tribes in ancient Earth. In some ways they were even more open-minded than those people.

Since that was the case, Zhou Ji didn’t say anything.

Zhou Ji liked to be left in peace, but it was very obvious that for him, quiet relaxation had already become a luxury!

“Zhou Ji, exactly what kind of food is it that the Beast God asked you to find?” Xiong Bai, who was a little more familiar with Zhou Ji, leaned over and looked at that pot of barley porridge, “Is this it? Can I try it?”

“No.” Zhou Ji didn’t even hesitate before he refused her.

Xiong Bai left disappointed, but others also gathered around Zhou Ji to try and see what Zhou Ji was cooking.

The scent of all sorts of different animals filled the area around Zhou Ji.

Zhou Ji had never liked the smell in the valley. Now that he was being surrounded by all these people, he felt that it was even more hopeless.

Unfortunately for him, these people had not only come to see the porridge he was cooking. Someone asked, “Zhou Ji, is it really possible to raise dinosaurs?”

“Zhou Ji, what is the Beast God like?”

“Zhou Ji…”

Xiong Ye laughed as he continued to talk about their journey.

These were all valuable experiences that should be shared with the people of the tribe so that they could learn a little more.

While Xiong Ye was talking, someone suddenly came up to him and fell to their knees in front of him, kowtowing, “Xiong Ye, you are great and generous. Please forgive me! I shouldn’t have offended you in the past! Please leave me a path to live…”

The kneeling person was Yang Ying. Seeing her act this way left Xiong Ye somewhat at a loss about what to do.

After he and Shi Li had broken up, he had had no further contact with Yang Ying. His impression of Yang Ying was based on his past interactions with her.
