Chapter 1798: Chapter 1798: She Has Nothing to Fear
But fortunately, it seemed there was added salt. If she braced herself to eat, it was still edible.
Seeing that there was water in a nearby stone jar and a small stone pot, she scooped some water into the small stone pot and then placed it on the fire to heat up some drinkable water.
On the stone bed, Bai Hu slightly opened his eyelids, saw Xue Ganggang diligently heating the water, and how she despised the meat as if eating poison, her brows tight enough to kill a fly. This was clearly the best meat in the tribe, yet she still reacted like this… Luckily, she would be leaving tomorrow.
Thinking this, Bai Hu closed his eyes again and truly fell asleep.
The next day, when Bai Xing woke up, he saw Xue Ganggang asleep next to the large stone pot used for storing meat, the fire in the fireplace having gone out due to lack of added wood.
The dim morning light shone on her face, making her appear far prettier than any female in the tribe.
...Without transforming into human form, he quietly left the cave in his tiger form.
It wasn’t until it became a bit lighter that Xue Ganggang woke up.
On waking, seeing neither human nor tiger form on the stone bed, she didn’t worry about it, but took off the Falling Pearl hairpin from her head and placed it on the large stone pot as compensation for Bai Xing.
Because next, she needed to find salt in this stone cave to brush her teeth and freshen up. Having eaten someone else’s meat and stayed in someone else’s cave, she couldn’t just use their things without offering something in return.
The salt was in a stone jar, albeit a bit coarse.
She took out some coarse salt, filled a stone bowl with water, and then squatted at the cave entrance to wash up. Using her fingers as a toothbrush, she brushed her teeth.
Not far from the cave was a large square filled with many people and beasts. Humans could transform into beasts, and beasts into humans, it was clear they were all Beastmen.
The square was surrounded by mountains, with many caves. Xue Ganggang’s cave was right in the middle with a tree by its entrance and stone steps carved out, which made it somewhat unique compared to other caves.
Beyond the paths used for walking, the fronts of the other caves were barren.
Last night, Bai Xing had transformed into a tiger right in front of her and even shared some information with her, so at this moment, she had fully accepted everything and was not at all surprised by anything in the square.
Even the few patrolling Black Wolves nearby didn’t cause her any emotional upheaval.
Suddenly, she saw a dozen little leopards rush out from a cave, chasing each other in the square, utterly joyous in their play.
With just a glance, Xue Ganggang recognized them as the dozen that had pounced on her the day before.
When had a female ever calmly brushed her teeth at the entrance of their king’s cave? Many noticed and naturally looked over.
Xue Ganggang remained composed. Bai Xing had said that this tribe didn’t eat humans. She had nothing to fear.
She continued brushing her teeth.
Just when everyone thought Xue Ganggang was going to brush her teeth to ruin, she finally stopped brushing, rinsed her mouth, and then began to wash her face.
Luckily, she had a handkerchief to use as a washcloth.
Just as she took out her handkerchief to wipe her face, several robust women wearing animal skins passed by carrying items.
Knowing these women were also Beastmen, Xue Ganggang thought about greeting them, but seeing that they had no intention of greeting her, she also refrained from doing so.
However, even after these women had walked past, they still looked back at her, talking among themselves—
