While Xiong Ye spoke, he sniffed the air.

As a man who awakened as a brown bear, he had a very sensitive nose even when he wasn’t in his animal form.

Based on smell, he could clearly tell that the person in front of him was Shi Li.

But… Shi Li wasn’t like this.

Xiong Ye frowned as he looked at Shi Li.

Shi Li was taken aback when he heard Xiong Ye’s question.

For Xiong Ye to suddenly ask this… He realized that his reactions had made Xiong Ye suspicious.

He artlessly answered, “I said that after we’re together in the future, I will give you the best meat to eat every day.”

This promise was something that Shi Li remembered. After all, in his previous life, after becoming a Beast King, Xiong Ye had made it a point to bring it up, and Shi Li had always felt that this promise of his was particularly silly

Having achieved great strength, who would care about a bite of meat?

However, after saying that promise out loud once again… Shi Li inevitably recalled some of the things that had happened during this period of time.

When he was young, he had indeed liked Xiong Ye very much. Even putting aside his feelings, Xiong Ye had been the best choice at the time.

His mother, younger brother, and he had all been driven out of another tribe. His mother had been very weak, and he hadn’t awakened his animal form yet; they had almost starved to death and also encountered many dangers.

One time, when he was in danger, he had finally awakened his animal form, but he had still been young at the time. His awakened animal form was also that of an immature cub, so he had been unable to hunt at all.

If he had awakened earlier, perhaps his family might not have been expelled from the tribe out of consideration for his animal form, but he just had to awaken a bit too late.

For a child with a newly awakened animal form, no matter how powerful, the animal form was completely meaningless. In fact, he had been even more hungry because he now needed more food.

It wasn’t until he stole Xiong Ye’s fish that he began to have a relatively stable life–the Big Bear Tribe’s territory had been chosen by the Big Bear Tribe’s previous priest. It was near the river, surrounded by many edible plants, and had the relative safety of being encircled by mountains… Finally, they no longer needed to worry about being ambushed in the middle of the night when they slept and end up unable to see the sun rise the next day.

Yet his mother and younger brother were like two mountains that weighed on him, and he had to find a way to ensure they could eat well.

During those years, he had felt especially stifled all the time as he worried about food every single day. During that period of time, only Xiong Ye could make him feel a little more relaxed.

It was young Xiong Ye who had taken him to the river to catch fish and shrimp, and it was Xiong Ye who had taught him what was edible and what wasn’t. It was also Xiong Ye who had given him food several times when he was almost unable to hold on any longer.

At the time, he had been genuinely grateful to Xiong Ye. He had also liked Xiong Ye, so after they both reached adulthood, when Xiong Ye suggested that they become mates, he hadn’t hesitated at all before agreeing.

But later on… Shi Li felt that he had really been quite foolish to return that tiny, little favor with the rest of his life.

He also began to be repulsed by Xiong Ye’s entire existence.
