Stone Age Husband Raising Journal

Ch117 – Waking Up

Zhou Ji had fainted while covered in blood, looking particularly miserable.

As a Beast King, Hai Feng could clearly sense the powerful energy roiling around in Zhou Ji’s body, but the others’ senses weren’t as keen as his were.

Xiong Ye was terrified, and Xiong Qi and the others were also incredibly worried, “What’s wrong with Zhou Ji?”

“Was Zhou Ji injured?”

“Is he all right?”

......

After asking these questions anxiously, everyone turned to look at Hai Feng.

Hai Feng could only reply, “We fought against each other before, and we both suffered defeat...” He was afraid that he would say the wrong thing if he spoke any more, so he didn’t dare continue at this point and just glanced at Zhou Ji.

However, Zhou Ji had already closed his eyes and wasn’t moving. He could only move his gaze away, feeling depressed and wronged in his heart–it was clear that they hadn’t both suffered defeat. Obviously, he had been the one who had been unilaterally beaten!

However, nobody knew about his grievances. The people of the Big Bear Tribe couldn’t even be bothered to spare him a second glance.

“What do you mean, you both suffered defeat? Zhou Ji’s injuries are obviously more serious.” Xiong Qi grumbled as he glared at Hai Feng.

Hai Feng: “......” He felt even more wronged!

“Let’s go back.” Xiong Ye said. He picked up the unconscious Zhou Ji and headed back–they had herbs back at their camp, and he wanted to bring Zhou Ji back so that he could feed him some medicine.

One-Eyed Wolf’s earlier words had actually affected Xiong Ye’s heart.

He was very certain that Zhou Ji cared about him, but Zhou Ji was too strong, and he couldn’t be sure if Zhou Ji would always continue to care about him.

And... he and Zhou Ji had never had the most intimate form of contact.

He had originally believed him when Zhou Ji said that he was worried about the pain, but... was Zhou Ji really afraid of pain?

With that thought in mind, Xiong Ye felt a little unhappy. However, now that Zhou Ji had been injured, he no longer had time to concern himself with these things. On the other hand, he started to think about what had happened in the past.

That time when he had been injured by the arthropleura, Zhou Ji had massacred all the arthropleura, destroyed an entire mountain worth of trees, then passed out right in front of him.

It was the same this time. Zhou Ji had appeared very strong before, but he now he looked like he was on his last breath.

So, did that mean that it took a lot out of Zhou Ji when he used such strong powers to fight?

Xiong Ye ran swiftly with Zhou Ji in his arms. Seeing the situation Zhu Zhan also picked up Hai Feng and headed back after Xiong Ye. He wasn’t able to keep after a while, and a little after that... He couldn’t even see Xiong Ye’s shadow.

Zhu Zhan: “......”

Although Xiong Ye ran very quickly, it wasn’t actually very far. He had only just taken Zhou Ji back to their camp when Zhu Zhan arrived with Hai Feng on his back.

Many people had remained behind at the camp. These people were responsible for guarding One-Eyed Wolf and the people of the Beach Tribe.

Regardless of whether it was One-Eyed Wolf or the Beach Tribe’s tribal chief, both of them were gagged, but the ordinary people of the Beach Tribe were free to speak. When they saw Xiong Ye carrying Zhou Ji back, they started to ask, “Where is our Sea God?”

“What happened to Our Majesty, the Sea God?”

“You are all wicked people! What did you do to the Sea God?”

......

Zhu Zhan brought Hai Feng back amidst their snarls and accusations.

“Your Majesty, the Sea God!”

“Sea God, are you alright?”

“What happened to you, Your Majesty?”

......

Hai Feng would occasionally turn into his human form in front of the Beach Tribe in order to eat, so the Beach Tribe was able to recognize his face. At this time, all of their expressions began to grow excited.

Zhu Zhan set Hai Feng down then looked at him with a complicated gaze.

The middle-aged person in front of him appeared honest and had been very well behaved while he was on his back. He had almost started to suspect that this person wasn’t the same person as that ferocious Sea God. Unexpectedly, he really was!

Sure enough, people couldn’t be judged by their appearance.

As for the people of the Big Bear Tribe who had remained behind, they were all confused at this moment.

The person who Zhu Zhan had brought back was the Sea God? He was that very, very large fish? Now... He had been caught and brought back?

They were very curious, but they didn’t have time to worry about Hai Feng at the moment–the injured Zhou Ji was more important.

Xiong Ye didn’t concern himself with what was taking place outside. He was endlessly issuing commands, “Bring all the healing herbs!”

“Go and get a clean piece of animal hide.”

“I need clean water. Go and boil some more hot water.”

......

The people of the Beach Tribe were excited to see Hai Feng, but everyone was tied up so they weren’t able to do anything other than ask questions. As for the people of the Big Bear Tribe... they were all crowded around Zhou Ji.

Hai Feng was left lying there alone, feeling a little aggrieved–that Zhou Ji was completely fine! Fine! He was the who actually needed his wounds treated!

Nobody paid attention to what Hai Feng was thinking. At this time, Xiong Ye had already begun to wipe off the blood and clean Zhou Ji’s injuries with clean water.

“Tribal chief, is Zhou Ji alright?” The people of the Big Bear Tribe asked worriedly as they handed Xiong Ye water.

“He’ll be alright.” Xiong Ye responded.

The people of the Big Bear Tribe heard these words and nodded one after another, “Of course! He is the Beast God’s messenger. He’ll definitely be alright!”

The people of the Big Bear Tribe had already felt that Zhou Ji was very amazing before. At this moment, they were now full of worship towards Zhou Ji and felt that there was nobody more amazing than Zhou Ji in the entire world.

Not only was he able to communicate with the Beast God, he was also so powerful!

Although he fell unconscious after fighting against the Sea God, that Sea God obviously wasn’t doing so well either... What’s more, wasn’t Zhou Ji younger than he was?

Zhou Ji would certainly become even stronger in the future!

It was wonderful that their Big Bear Tribe had such a powerful person!

Xiong Ye cleaned Zhou Ji up, then he applied medicine to Zhou Ji’s wounds while boiling some medicine for him to drink.

All kinds of herbs were placed into the pottery pot. The smell that wafted out smelled horrible, and Zhou Ji was still unconscious...

Xiong Ye looked towards Zhu Zhan who was to the side and suddenly said, “Last time when the Giant Tiger Tribe was killed, do you think that Zhou Ji was just as miserable? Back then...when he was just lying there?”

Zhu Zhan froze.

“The first time when he turned into a huge elephant and destroyed a mountain, he fainted. This time it’s even more serious. That time with the Giant Tiger Tribe...” Tears threatened in Xiong Ye’s eyes when he reached the end of the sentence.

At the time, he hadn’t even known that Zhou Ji was in the vicinity at all, and he hadn’t discovered Zhou Ji. At the time, had Zhou Ji hidden away and recovered from his injuries by himself?

No wonder Zhou Ji hadn’t come out to wait for him when he returned back to the tribe, and had stayed in their home every day after that... He must have been hurt.

Zhu Zhan also thought of this point. He had previously still felt a little upset towards Zhou Ji, but he now felt that he had wronged Zhou Ji.

Xiong Ye was incredibly distressed. He pulled Zhou Ji into his arms and kissed him a few times.

Zhou Ji, who had constantly been struggling with the energy in his body, but who was still able to perceive what was going on in his surroundings, suddenly felt a little embarrassed...

Although Zhou Ji had fallen unconscious, his superficial wounds weren’t serious, and he was still alive. The people of the Big Bear Tribe were all very relieved.

Nobody had gotten any rest between last night and now, and they hadn’t eaten anything either... They began to roast meat.

After roasting the meat, they first gave a portion to Xiong Ye and Zhu Zhan.

Zhou Ji was still unconscious, leaving Xiong Ye in no mood to eat, but he knew that he needed to do so. He would only have the strength to take care of Zhou Ji if he took care of himself.

He accepted the piece of meat and chewed it down.

Everyone else began to eat while Xiong Ye ate. For a while, the entire camp was filled with the scent of roasted meat.

The people who were tied up started to grow hungry, and even Hai Feng started craving meat.

He basically ate raw fish every day, and it was rare for him to even have grilled fish. It had been a very, very long time since he had last eaten roasted meat...

“I’m hungry.” Hai Feng spoke up.

Hai Feng was a Beast King level powerhouse. The people of the Big Bear Tribe might dislike him, but nobody dared to offend him. Now, when they heard him say this, everyone turned to look at Xiong Ye.

“Don’t give him food.” Xiong Ye ordered. Although Zhou Ji had said that this person had already decided to believe in the Beast God before he fell unconscious, Xiong Ye was still very much on guard against this person. He thought it was simpler not to let him eat so that he wouldn’t be able to do anything disadvantageous to them as soon as he recovered his strength.

Hai Feng: “......” It was bad enough that these people didn’t help someone who had serious injuries like him, but they even went so far as to refuse to give him food!

Hai Feng was very dissatisfied, but Xiong Ye ignored him. After finishing off his meat, he continued to look after Zhou Ji.

Zhou Ji was quite happy sensing Xiong Ye by his side.

He wanted to speak to Xiong Ye and tell Xiong Ye not to worry too much, but the energy inside his body was too messy... Zhou Ji pulled his thoughts together and was determined to first focus on absorbing the energy in his body.

In his body, there was another crystal core that belonged to someone else in addition to his own crystal core. At this time, he was taking the energy from that other crystal core, absorbing and incorporating it into his own crystal core.

His own crystal core was now absorbing more and more energy. The color of the crystal core gradually grew darker, slowly turning black.

Zhou Ji’s injuries had already healed. It was just that he still looked rather pale and hadn’t woken up.

Seeing Zhou Ji like this, Xiong Ye thought for a moment then took a sip of the medicine in order to feed it to Zhou Ji mouth to mouth.

This medicine was the same as what Zhou Ji had made for him when he was injured before. According to Zhou Ji, eating this kind of medicine was good for the body, so he felt that he should let Zhou Ji have some.

Xiong Ye had always felt that this medicine tasted very bitter and would always gulp it down quickly whenever he had to take it. This time, though, he wasn’t afraid of the bitterness at all as he slowly fed it to Zhou Ji one small sip at a time, “Zhou Ji, you must wake up soon.”

Zhou Ji: “......” This medicine was actually useless for him...

He used to always have Xiong Ye take medicine, but he hadn’t thought that he would be on the receiving end of it now.

The medicine was very bitter, but Zhou Ji felt a little sweetness in his heart.

He calmed down and focused on absorbing the energy in his body more carefully.

Time passed quickly and the sky turned dark.

Then a long time later, the sky turned bright once again.

Early the next morning, the people of the Big Bear Tribe began to cook again.

Zhou Ji was still unconscious, so they weren’t in the mood to eat well. They simply roasted meat as usual.

The smell of roasted meat was nothing special to them, but the people who had been tied up had already gone hungry for a long time.

The people of the Beach Tribe, One-Eyed Wolf and her men, as well as Hai Feng, were all starving.

Sadly though, they just had to all be tied up or injured. The Big Bear Tribe were all refusing to give them any food, and they simply couldn’t eat.

“I already started to believe in the Beast God! You guys should give me something to eat!” Hai Feng couldn’t hold back anymore and was a little frustrated with Zhou Ji–was it really necessary to spend such a long time faking being sick!?

Zhou Ji didn’t know what Hai Feng was thinking. He wasn’t trying to act sick.

At this time, he sensed that the crystal core in his body had turned completely black. Simultaneously, the crystal core in his stomach that didn’t belong to him dissipated and no longer existed.

Zhou Ji felt that he had become stronger again.

Of course, this wasn’t necessarily good news–wouldn’t he do more damage if he went crazy again now that he’d become stronger?!

Zhou Ji felt a little helpless. Of course, now wasn’t the time to think about this... Zhou Ji opened his eyes and looked at Xiong Ye.

Xiong Ye hadn’t slept all night. He had constantly watched over Zhou Ji the entire time. He noticed that Zhou Ji had woken up right away, “Zhou Ji, you’re awake!”

“I’m fine now.” Zhou Ji said. He had grown stronger, and now felt refreshed and completely fine.

“It’s great that you’ve woken up...” Xiong Ye wanted to embrace Zhou Ji and give him a kiss, but when he thought of how strong Zhou Ji was, he also felt that it was a little unsuitable to pull him against him to kiss him... He picked up the medicine and offered it to Zhou Ji, “You... should have some medicine!”
