Orc Priest (14): 

These days, Gu Juntian’s speed at making bamboo products had gotten faster and faster. Zhou Qinghao’s house was already filled with bamboo furniture he made.

But he was still a bit dissatisfied with Zhou Qinghao’s house.

Although Zhou Qinghao lived in the best house in the tribe, it was still simple and crude.

He remembered that when Bai Yutian first came to the tribe, he looked down on everything in the tribe, and also looked down on Zhou Qinghao.

He could not accept that. He wanted to properly decorate Zhou Qinghao’s house.

As it happened, the hide of the big dinosaur he had hunted earlier had already been processed…

Gu Juntian looked at Zhou Qinghao. “Aqing, let’s tidy up your house and lay this dinosaur hide in your room, how about it?”

Zhou Qinghao thought for a moment, then agreed. “Alright.”

After Bai Yutian appeared, everything good that Gu Juntian had, he had given to Bai Yutian.

He didn’t want that to happen again. Since now Gu Juntian wanted to give the hide to him, he would accept it.

Better than letting the hide end up in Bai Yutian’s hands.

In the prophecy, he really had been quite foolish. Whenever Gu Juntian asked him for something, he just gave it, and in the end, all of it had become Bai Yutian’s.

Now, he would not give away his things anymore.

“I’ll help you decorate your room!” Gu Juntian said.

He had already treated Zhou Qinghao’s house as his own.

Now, he was going to decorate it well.

With that thought, Gu Juntian became busy.

It happened to be a sunny day. Gu Juntian moved everything out of Zhou Qinghao’s house, cut the dinosaur hide and spread it inside, and once it was all laid out, he moved the furniture back in and placed the miscellaneous items on the bamboo shelves.

He also laid a thick layer of dry grass in Zhou Qinghao’s little sleeping room, then spread animal skins over it.

That way, the entire room became one big, comfortable bed, where they could roll around together.

While decorating, Gu Juntian also brought over everything useful from his own room and placed it in Zhou Qinghao’s house.

His own house he planned to let Bai Yutian live in, but his things, of course, were for Zhou Qinghao to use.

Zhou Qinghao saw everything Gu Juntian was doing.

The unease in his heart over Bai Yutian’s impending arrival slowly faded.

Gu Juntian really had been treating him very well these days. It was obvious that he truly liked him.

He and Gu Juntian would be fine.

After decorating Zhou Qinghao’s house, Gu Juntian went to gather some fresh flowers, placed them in water-filled bamboo tubes, and fixed them around Zhou Qinghao’s house.

People in the tribe liked to imitate them. When they saw this, they all started decorating their own houses.

While Gu Juntian was busy, Bai Yutian was already dumbfounded.

He had just finished the college entrance exams, finally free from school. Cheerfully, he went hiking with his classmates, but by accident he fell off the mountain and ended up in a strange new world.

He was certain this was a strange world.

The mountain he had been climbing was gone!

The plants around him were completely different from the ones on the mountain!

And falling from such a high mountain—normally, even if he didn’t shatter into pieces, he should have at least been badly injured.

But now, he didn’t have a single scratch on him!

Although Bai Yutian had always been studying, he secretly read some novels and sometimes borrowed a phone from his parents to play.

He knew that right now, he must have transmigrated.

He didn’t know what kind of world he had transmigrated into… He hoped it was a safe one. He didn’t want to die.

Clutching his backpack, Bai Yutian was on the verge of tears.

This time, he had transmigrated with the things he was carrying, but as a fragile high schooler, he hadn’t dared to bring too much when climbing. So in his bag there were only two bottles of sports drink, one bottle of mineral water, two beef jerky sticks, two chocolate bars, plus his phone, power bank, earphones, and some miscellaneous small things.

The food in his bag wasn’t even enough for one day.

Because he knew there were vendors selling food on the mountain, he had packed very lightly.

The environment around him was too unfamiliar, the vegetation too thick, with no paths at all.

Bai Yutian didn’t dare wander around, so he just stood still hugging his bag.

His phone had no signal, so he didn’t dare use it much. He turned on power-saving mode, occasionally checking the time and signal.

But the time on his phone might not match the time in this world.

When he transmigrated, it had been morning, but after arriving here, it might not be morning anymore.

Bai Yutian waited in place for about two hours, attracting a lot of insects.

If it weren’t for the fact that the mountain he climbed was high and chilly, making him wear long pants and bring a sun jacket, he probably would already have been bitten all over.

While he was still hesitating, Bai Yutian saw a group of people—primitive people.

They were driving along two hippos and three water buffaloes, and on the backs of the animals were dead… dinosaurs?

This was a very strange group of people. Bai Yutian was deeply afraid, but he knew that if he didn’t interact with them, he might end up starving to death here.

He gritted his teeth and waved at them. “Hey! Hello!”

The hunting team of the Hippo Tribe all looked toward Bai Yutian.

To Bai Yutian’s relief, he could actually barely understand the language of these primitives.

There were countless languages in the world, and primitive tribes might not even have a formal language system.

For him to be able to communicate with them after transmigrating was unbelievable.

Bai Yutian couldn’t clearly explain his background, but this group didn’t kill him.

They tied him up and put him on a hippo’s back.

These primitives probably wanted to bring him to their tribe.

After all, he was a modern person and knew many things they didn’t. If he tricked them a little, life here might not be too bad.

Lying on the hippo’s back, Bai Yutian even started imagining that this group might worship him and become his followers.

Then maybe he could lead them to develop a tribe and build a country.

Of course, it was just a fantasy.

On the hippo’s back there was also a bloody dinosaur. Lying next to it, Bai Yutian couldn’t stop dry-heaving, and at that moment all he wanted was to survive.

The hunting party crossed a shallow water area and from afar, he saw some “small islands.”

Actually, they were just higher ground, and on them were some crude houses.

That must be the tribe.

This tribe was remarkable—the people and animals lived together in harmony.

Hippos were not easy to tame, yet they could actually make hippos carry loads for them.

Countless thoughts flashed through Bai Yutian’s mind, and then he was thrown onto the muddy ground.

Before he could even cry out, he saw the hippo that carried him transform into a human.

The hippo had turned into a person!

This wasn’t prehistoric society—it was a gathering place of monsters?

Bai Yutian trembled in fear, then saw, not far away, a young, handsome, dark-skinned man looking at him intently.

Beside the man stood a tiger.

Calling him dark-skinned was a bit unfair, since in this tribe he was already the fairest.

But in Bai Yutian’s world, everyone paid attention to sun protection, so most looked like him—people who hardly tanned. Compared to that, this man’s skin seemed darker.

The problem wasn’t the man, it was the tiger beside him.

A fierce tiger!

Bai Yutian froze, unable to move.

He was still tied up.

Zhou Qinghao looked at Bai Yutian, his heart heavy.

The Bai Yutian from his prophecy had appeared. Would Gu Juntian fall for this person?

Would the Hippo Tribe really head toward destruction like in the prophecy?

No. Definitely not.

He would change everything.

With that thought, Zhou Qinghao looked toward the tiger beside him.

Seeing the tiger also staring at Bai Yutian, his heart sank.

According to Gu Juntian, he had fallen in love with Bai Yutian at first sight.

This time, since it wasn’t Gu Juntian who discovered Bai Yutian outside, would Gu Juntian’s feelings change?

If Gu Juntian still liked Bai Yutian, what should he do?

Gu Juntian didn’t know Zhou Qinghao’s complex thoughts. When he saw Bai Yutian, he only felt a little sympathetic.

In the original story, the former Zhou Qinghao had instantly fallen in love with Bai Yutian, who so clearly seemed unusual.

He treated Bai Yutian very well, not only refusing to tie him up but even covering the buffalo’s back with giant leaves for him to sit on, so that he didn’t even get his feet wet.

From the very first day Bai Yutian arrived at the Hippo Tribe, he had received the best treatment.

But now things were different.

He had been tied up and brought back with the prey, his body stained with blood and mud.

In such a situation, as chief, Gu Juntian naturally had to step forward. He turned back into human form in Zhou Qinghao’s house, put on a fur skirt, tidied himself, and then came back out.

By then, Zhou Qinghao was already questioning the hunting team about Bai Yutian.

The hunters were very respectful to Zhou Qinghao and carefully recounted how they had encountered Bai Yutian.

Bai Yutian didn’t really understand the situation yet, but he could tell Zhou Qinghao was in charge, so he smiled ingratiatingly. “I’m a good person, I mean you no harm. I don’t know how I ended up here, I’ve forgotten many things…”

He had wanted to make up a background, but since he knew nothing about this world, he didn’t dare to fabricate anything.

Zhou Qinghao looked at Bai Yutian and realized the prophecy had already changed.

In his previous life, when Gu Juntian brought Bai Yutian back to the tribe, he had told everyone that Bai Yutian was a priest from a large tribe.

With such an identity, Bai Yutian naturally carried himself with a lofty air when facing him.

But now, Bai Yutian was timid and fearful.

“Do you remember what you did in your original tribe?” Zhou Qinghao asked.

“I don’t remember.” Bai Yutian replied, glancing nervously at the people handling the prey.

The people of this world looked truly frightening.

Fresh out of high school, Bai Yutian could hardly endure this.

Zhou Qinghao asked again, “What is your beast form?”

“Beast form?” Bai Yutian looked completely blank.

At this time, Gu Juntian sat down beside Zhou Qinghao.

He had planned to go comfort Bai Yutian, but seeing Zhou Qinghao questioning him, he stayed silent, listening on the side, while also staring at Bai Yutian’s backpack.

In the original story, Bai Yutian hadn’t realized at first that Zhou Qinghao was interested in him. Grateful for being saved, he gave Zhou Qinghao the food he had brought from his original world.

There hadn’t been much, but it was very tasty.

Gu Juntian wanted to take it and give it to Zhou Qinghao to eat.
