Chapter 1797: Chapter 1797 Bai Xing

Turning around, Xue Ganggang asked, “You mentioned this is the Yao Tribe, composed of many beastmen. So, do you all have names? What’s yours?”

“Yes, it’s a tribe made up of many beastmen, and my name is Bai Xing.”

“You didn’t eat me, which is why I’m really puzzled by why you and those dozen or so little leopards pounced on me?” Xue Ganggang truly did not understand. Logically speaking, if you pounce on someone, isn’t it to capture them? And capturing someone is definitely for the purpose of eating them, yet here I am, safe and sound in this cave.

Bai Xing smiled and said, “Our tribe only eats beasts, not humans.”

Xue Ganggang somewhat understood, “So at that time, you thought I was a beastman.”

Bai Xing replied, “Even if it were a beastman, if it’s not in the form of a beast, we would not eat it.” He then added, “In this place, human form is very precious. There are two categories of beasts: beastmen and beasts. Beastmen rank above beasts. Not all beasts have cognizance, nor do all beasts have human form. Therefore, basically, no beast would eat someone in their human form.”

Now Xue Ganggang understood even better and nodded. Her eyes caught sight of the dagger hanging at his waist, which was hers, and she frowned, saying, “Why are you taking my things?”

Bai Xing laughed as though it was only natural, “This item was brought back by me, so naturally, it is mine. You, too, were brought back by me, so by that reasoning, you should belong to me as well. However, I have no use for you, so whenever you want to leave, you can.”

As soon as Xue Ganggang heard this, she knew it was a rule of this world. Somewhat speechless, she nevertheless reached out her hand, “Give it back!” She paused, then offered an explanation, “This was given to me by my parents. It can’t just be given away to anyone.”

Bai Xing looked at her hand, so delicate and fair, almost glowing, without a trace of coarseness. In his tribe, or any other tribe, no female would have such hands, obviously pampered and not accustomed to hard work. Such females were unwanted in any tribe, considered useless, and would just be another mouth to feed. Yet strangely enough, he obediently returned the dagger to her.

“Thank you.” Xue Ganggang immediately tucked the dagger into her boots and thanked him. Then she looked around the cave again and asked, “Is this your cave?”

“Mhm.”

“Then you should sleep in the bed. I’m not very tired right now. I need to go back to that hillside when it gets light tomorrow.”

Without saying much else, Bai Xing mentioned, “There’s food in that stone pot. Just help yourself.” Then, he went to the stone bed, arranged the animal skins to hang at one side, and transformed into a white tiger, lying on the stone bed.

His tiger form was large, nearly filling the entire stone bed.

Xue Ganggang found the current situation rather peculiar. She was actually in a cave with a tiger, and the tiger was sleeping right there.

But speaking of food…

Xue Ganggang rubbed her stomach. Indeed, she was a bit hungry.

Thinking that since it was someone else’s cave and they were asleep, it would be better to keep quiet, she tiptoed to the stone pot and lifted the large tree leaf covering it.

She didn’t know what kind of leaf it was, but it was particularly large, like a palm-leaf fan, covering the stone pot with just one leaf.

Inside the stone pot, there were two roasted pieces of meat.

The meat was not very well cooked, looking rather strange and seemingly seasoned with something. Upon seeing it, Xue Ganggang felt she couldn’t stomach it, but she was genuinely hungry, so she steeled herself to cut off a piece with her dagger, taking a small taste first. It was indeed unappetizing, with a strong gamey flavor.
