323: Chapter 323 I owe her a life, and she hates me.

Duan Shi sat down beside Huan Du, raised his arm, and rested it on his eggshell.

Huan Du's eggshell immediately tensed up, becoming as hard as stone.

He was terrified that he might shatter it with a single punch.

"My Female Beastman is dying," Duan Shi said suddenly.

Huan Du was shocked.

Dying?

Had he already gone to see her?

Did that mean he wouldn't intentionally prevent him from hatching?

Huan Du's soul squeezed toward the gap, pressed against the Barrier, flattened itself into a "soul pancake," and looked out.

Besides the Barrier that prevented his soul from escaping, Elder Sister Yong Wu had generated an Energy Barrier outside his eggshell to Seal the gap.

This was the reason why his egg remained intact even though it had cracked.

But after saying that, Duan Shi did not reveal any more information.

A very, very long time passed.

Suddenly, he heard his suppressed sobbing.

The sound was very low, but it broke Huan Du's heart to hear it.

"I owe her a life, and she hates me. If I hadn't appeared, she wouldn't be suffering like this."

Huan Du struck the eggshell hard.

He desperately wanted to tell him that if not for him, she and her Tribe would have died long ago.

Listening to them talk every day, he could already understand most of what they said.

He understood this much.

How could a Beastman hate the person who saved him?

It was just like how, although he hated their master—the Beast God who had killed him—

he did not hate them, because they had given him their Energy and looked forward to his birth.

Just then.

A "gurgling" sound came from somewhere.

A fluffy black thing pressed down on top of Huan Du's head.

"Black Shadow, come down," Duan Shi said.

Black Shadow stepped on Huan Du's eggshell and crawled into Duan Shi's arms.

It was a fluffy animal; although it was pitch black, it was chubby and even a little cute.

Huan Du watched intently.

Suddenly, Duan Shi stood up.

"What? They won't allow her to die in the Tribe? They say she is a symbol of disaster?"

"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle."

"They dug a tunnel to send her away? Do her descendants not care?"

"Gurgle."

"Is this information accurate?"

"Meow!"

"In the Beast World now, the Beast God's monsters are everywhere. If they are discovered, none of them will survive!"

At this point, Duan Shi suddenly stopped.

A few seconds later, he let out a cold laugh.

"Then let them all die. This is the consequence of them bullying her."

Saying this, Duan Shi strode away.

Suddenly, a voice called out, "Are you going to see her for the last time?"

Heng Zhou walked up to Duan Shi with Fen Tian and Yong Wu.

Duan Shi clenched his fists: "I hope you will not stop me."

Heng Zhou: "If you go save her now, perhaps the misunderstanding can be resolved. Since they are going to die anyway, there is no need to worry about whether the Beast God will find out. When the time comes... you can kill them all."

Duan Shi seemed not to have expected Heng Zhou to say this. He froze for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, Heng Zhou cut him off.

"We can help you hide this for half a day."

Duan Shi stepped forward abruptly.

Yong Wu: "Go!"

Duan Shi: "If the Beast God finds out, just say you don't know where I went?"

Heng Zhou: "Fine."

Duan Shi shoved Black Shadow into Fen Tian's arms. "If the Beast God finds out and wants to kill me, will you help me take care of Black Shadow?"

Fen Tian stared at him with wide eyes, then nodded.

That day, countless monsters brushed past Huan Du.

He screamed in terror, but the monsters were always repelled by a surge of Energy when they were half a meter away from him.

He knew that was the Barrier they had set for him.

He even heard the Beast God's cursing, saying that monsters had run into his palace.

Beast God Mountain was in chaos.

A long time later, they finally rounded up all those monsters.

But Duan Shi's matter was still discovered by the Beast God.

They were all whipped together.

Fen Tian was beaten the hardest, because it was said that he had stood up for Yong Wu before the Beast God.

They knelt on a mountain peak not far from Huan Du.

Huan Du's soul struggled to squeeze out of the eggshell.

He was startled to suddenly discover that his own Energy was already capable of breaking free from some of the Seal.

He watched the four of them covered in wounds, yet smiling very happily.

At that moment, he thought it would be nice if he could also be punished with them and laugh with them...

But before long, the Beast God "killed" them all.

They entered an endless cycle of reincarnation, where they were repeatedly reborn as tools and then killed after their memories were wiped.

Only he remembered all of this.

His soul had long been able to roam freely on Beast God Mountain.

But he did not want to hatch, nor did he want to become the Beast God's tool.

Yet the Beast God still discovered him.

He opened his eggshell and became the first Beastman Huan Du ever saw.

He thought that this way, Huan Du would acknowledge him and be loyal to him.

But what the Beast God did not know was that the first person Huan Du saw was not him.

He demanded that he mimic his elder brothers and sisters' abilities, surpass them, and then kill them.

Perhaps because he had been killed by him before, Huan Du did not dare to resist the Beast God and could only nod in agreement.

However, he also did not want to become his elder brothers and sisters' enemy. So, when the Beast God brought him before them for the first time, he turned into a puddle of water...

The Beast God was furious and sealed his memories, and injected hatred into him.

However, Huan Du still did not want to kill them, even though he no longer knew why he felt that way at the time.

In the end, Huan Du, who was judged a "useless waste," had his physical body destroyed by the Beast God, and most of his soul's Energy was taken away.

He became a lonely spirit, forever drifting on Beast God Mountain, longing for the day he could be reborn and the day he could reunite with his elder brothers and sisters.

But before that day could arrive, his elder brothers and sisters were both severely injured in the process of killing the Beast God.

Even Black Shadow turned to ash after that war.

However, many years later... this furry little fellow had actually been reborn first and had latched onto Fen Tian.

Only then did Huan Du realize that it also had the ability to be reborn. It was just that every time it was reborn, it would gain more eyes.

Coming back to his senses from his memories, the little turtle dove that Huan Du had transformed into landed on the roof of the Bear Tribe.

He watched the few Beastmen chatting in the courtyard, feeling a multitude of emotions.

If he had been able to break through the Seal left by the Former Beast God earlier and recovered his memories, he wouldn't have done things that hurt his elder sister.

"Sigh..." Then his relationship with his elder brothers and sisters wouldn't have become what it is today.

Perhaps he could have been like them, chatting with his elder brothers and sisters in the courtyard.

Huan Du imagined what it would be like to sit with his elder brothers and sisters, then sighed again.

Anyway, it was useless to say anything now. He had indeed done things that hurt his elder sister. He could only try his best to make amends.

Suddenly, a Cub's crying was heard. "Mom! I know I was wrong; I won't waste honey ever again!"

Does wasting honey get you a beating? Huan Du had a sudden inspiration.

There was a large water vat in the Bear Tribe. The water in the vat would be filled the day before, to be used for brushing teeth and washing faces after waking up the next day.

Nowadays, the Beastmen of the Beast World had all learned from the Divine Maiden and developed the good habit of brushing their teeth and washing their faces.

Their toothbrushes were made by combining a certain type of firm, fibrous plant with wood. When brushing their teeth, they would also dip them in a type of plant powder.

It not only kept their breath fresh but also made their teeth whiter and whiter.

It was said that the Otter Tribe specialized in making toothbrushes and toothpaste, and the crystals they earned in one year were more than what they had earned in the previous ten years.

Early in the morning, the Chief of the Bear Clan walked over to the water vat, picked up his toothbrushing cup, and scooped a cup of water from the vat. He had always been an early riser.

The Bear Tribe also tacitly accepted the rule that the first cup of water was for the Chief to use.

Suddenly, the Chief of the Bear Clan noticed a small bug floating in his cup. This wasn't anything unusual, after all, it was an open-air water vat.

He reached out, wanting to pinch the bug out. Suddenly he realized there was more than one bug in the cup.

"Five, six, seven, eight..." He looked into the water vat again—there were even more! A dense layer had settled on the top.

He looked left and right; there didn't seem to be any bugs in the courtyard, right?

He was about to call over the Male Beastman who had fetched the water yesterday to ask what was going on. Suddenly, he twitched his nose.

This water... why did it smell a little sweet? He stuck out his tongue and took a lick.

This, this, this, this... there was actually honey in the water! Who did this? Why add honey to the water! What a waste!

"Chief Grandpa..."
