“If you are not used to cooked food, you eat the raw food.”

Xie Cheng saw him holding the meat motionless, thinking that he was scared by the heat just now. He had no idea that Geno’s daze had nothing to do with barbecue.

“No, it’s delicious.”

Geno hurriedly clarified, his eyes still on Xie Cheng’s mouth movements.

 “Then eat quickly. You saved my life today. I’ll grill meat for you. How about that? You’ll be full. Of course, the ingredients are yours today. Starting tomorrow, I’ll be responsible for your meals. In exchange, I’ll live in your territory and you’ll protect me.”

Xie Cheng handed him another large piece of meat, and then put a piece of raw meat on the homemade grill to continue grilling. Judging from the prey that Geno had brought back, his appetite must be amazing.

Geno took the large piece of grilled meat and replied: “You grill meat for me, and I’ll take care of you. Xie Cheng, you don’t have to go hunting.”

The little female in front of him looked more and more beautiful. His face was red from the fire, and his eyes were slightly smiling when he spoke. He liked him more the more he looked at him.

 Geno smiled, trying to make himself look more friendly, but in fact his smile was not flattering, but very stiff. Maybe he had never smiled before, Xie Cheng thought. At least the big guy showed his goodwill, and he couldn’t really push it, so shook his head and replied:

“It’s an equal exchange, I don’t like to owe others a favor.”

Equivalent exchange applies to any transaction at any time and any place. It is one of the most basic principles of survival.

When Geno heard him say this, he felt a little disappointed, lowered his head and took a bite of the barbecue before saying: “You can’t catch the prey here.”

“Huh?” Xie Cheng was puzzled, he was underestimated.

Seeing that he was unhappy, Geno explained: “The prey in the Misty Forest is not comparable to those outside, and this is deep in the Misty Forest. The prey is fierce, and since you can’t transform, it’s very difficult. If you are not careful, it will be bad, even with magic, it’s very dangerous.”

“…” Xie Cheng was silent, he had dealt with a lot along the way.

 “Xie Cheng just needs to stay at home. I’m going hunting. Just tell me what kind of meat you want to eat.”

Geno saw that he didn’t say anything and thought he agreed. Among beastmen partners, males usually go out hunting and females stay at home. Even if Xie Cheng is not his female, he also wants to try that feeling. He goes out hunting and when he comes back, Xie Cheng grills meat for him. This is like a partner.

“Well, let’s see. I’ll do my best and won’t add any burden to you.”

Whether he can hunt prey is not a matter of words. When he brings the prey back, Geno won’t look down on him so much.

“It’s not a burden. I want to take care of you.”

Geno said it seriously. Xie Cheng didn’t care. He just thought that this big guy had a complex of protecting the weak. Well, although he refused to say why he was exiled here, there must be some misunderstanding. How could such an honest beastman be a bad guy?

 “You eat so much…”

A few hours later, seeing that the original pile of meat was now only bones, and most of the rest had entered Geno’s stomach, Xie Cheng couldn’t help but make a comment when he handed over the last piece of barbecue. He washed his hands in a bamboo tube filled with water and shook his sore arms.

“I have strength after eating.” Geno replied and continued to eat. Xie Cheng’s mouth twitched. A barbarian with strong limbs and a simple mind.

“It’s delicious.” After the battle, Geno burped with satisfaction and licked his lips with satisfaction. He had never eaten such delicious food.

“Right, it’s much better than raw meat. I tell you, if you want to evolve, learn to eat cooked food.”

Xie Cheng taught with good intentions, and Geno nodded seriously like an obedient student. Although he didn’t know what Xie Cheng meant by evolution, he felt that it should have a good meaning. He touched his belly and looked at Xie Cheng expectantly and asked:

“Will there be food every day in the future?”

It seemed as if he wanted Xie Cheng’s guarantee.
