Crossing To The Primitive With A Game Panel

Lu Yu scratched his face.

He could understand the Multiplayer training ground, presumably it meant training together, like that formation, besides learning how to arrange it, people also needed to learn how to cooperate.

But what was this about opening a beginner combat simulation? And combat scenarios… Lu Yu pondered. Tonight there was no time, they would have to try to see what it was tomorrow.

Lu Yu closed the top board, walked out of the dream training ground, and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, no one had heard anything about the inner layer, including Mao Pu, who also had no new information. Lu Yu thought for a moment, recounted what Zhou Lang had said yesterday to Mao Pu, and said he wanted to ask for his opinion, after all, Mao Pu had been here for a long time, and perhaps he knew more than Zhou Lang and the Dao Ma Tribe.

The Dao Ma Tribe may continue to oppose the Three Major Tribes in the future. After all, as Mao Pu said, Zhou Shan is a ruthless person towards enemies.

If he helps the Dao Ma Tribe this time, in the eyes of outsiders, their tribe and the Dao Ma Tribe will have a close relationship, which means…

Lu Yu wasn’t afraid of getting involved with the Three Major Tribes, but they had an important mission this time, which was to investigate the events of the past, and the clues pointed to the Three Major Tribes.

If it was indeed related to them, or if they were the ones behind it, attracting attention now would be like walking into a lion’s den. Lu Yu still hoped they could quietly investigate without attracting attention.

Apart from this, he had tested Zhou Lang several times last night, but he didn’t say why he was so insistent on having him cook. This was also a point that needed careful consideration.

Lu Yu voiced his concerns.

Tai Lie asked calmly, “What do you want to do?”

Lu Yu retorted, “I’m asking you, what do you think first?”

Tai Lie replied, “The Matai tribe is not afraid of battle.”

Lu Yu paused for a moment and said seriously, “Okay, then I know what to do.”

Tai Lie responded, “Hmm.”

Lu Yu smiled and said, “Well, now that we’ve talked business, let’s do something less formal.”

Tai Lie furrowed his brows slightly and asked, “What?”

Lu Yu leaned forward, touched his forehead, and said, “Why do you always frown? Don’t act so freely just because you’re not old. Frowning too much will leave wrinkles and make you will look older. Something less formal means—let’s have a kiss.”

They were sitting cross-legged side by side. Lu Yu leaned closer, placing his hand on Tai Lie’s thigh.

Tai Lie looked at the face that had been bothering him, his breath paused for a moment, his mind becoming somewhat confused. “A kiss?”

Lu Yu smiled, the mole on his eyebrow faintly visible. “Yes, a kiss means this.”

As soon as he finished speaking, their lips met, and Lu Yu’s hands rested on the man’s broad shoulders.

This time it wasn’t about intimacy; he just wanted to kiss Tai Lie.

However, after a while, Lu Yu realized that the man in front of him had no response.

Lu Yu’s body stiffened, doubting in his heart. Could it be that this person didn’t want to kiss? Hmm, after all, it’s a matter between the two of them. Shouldn’t he have given a heads-up first?

Lu Yu took a slight step back, letting their lips separate slightly. “Um… if you don’t want to…”

“No, I want to.”

Before Lu Yu could finish speaking, he was interrupted and then embraced tightly, followed by a deep kiss.

Lu Yu was initially kneeling, but after kissing for a while, he felt his knees ache, so he naturally sat on Tai Lie’s lap. This movement made them even closer, and then, naturally, Lu Yu leaned in closer…

He felt a bit embarrassed and moved back a little.

Just as he moved back a bit, he felt the man in front of him suddenly tense up, his breath frightening, but soon he calmed down.

After struggling for a while, Lu Yu finally managed to move himself to a safe distance and breathed a sigh of relief.

He probably didn’t notice. Tai Lie didn’t even flinched. He’s the one who usually reacts. Wait a minute, he… did not flinch?”

Lu Yu paused, reflecting. He indeed didn’t sense anything.

Lu Yu pushed away the man in front of him.

Tai Lie looked at him with confusion.

Without a trace, Lu Yu glanced at his lower body.

The giant beast lay quietly, showing no desire to fight at all.

A strange feeling surged in Lu Yu’s heart.

Tai Lie asked, “What’s wrong?”

Lu Yu raised his head, expressionless. “Get to work.”

—

Night fell.

Zhou Lang came to Lu Yu again, asking about his decision.

Lu Yu asked blandly, “Are you not going to tell me who I’m making food for?”

Zhou Lang replied, “Why do you need to know? Just make it.”

Lu Yu insisted, “Different people have different tastes. Some may not like what you think is delicious. For smooth trading, I need to ask carefully.”

Zhou Lang found it reasonable and asked, “So, are you agreeing?”

Lu Yu replied, “I need a lot of supplies.”

“What supplies?”

Lu Yu listed the special materials he needed and told him they could be exchanged in the inner layer of the stone city.

Zhou Lang hesitated but eventually agreed to trade.

Lu Yu asked, “When can you enter the inner layer?”

Zhou Lang boasted, “The day after tomorrow.”

“Okay, when you get the supplies, come find me. And hurry up. If the Great Drift comes and you haven’t got the supplies, don’t blame me. I’ll go trade on my own without dealing with you.”

Zhou Lang reluctantly agreed.

Lu Yu assured, “I won’t break my promise.”

With this settled, though there might be more trouble later, for now, Lu Yu felt relieved. He rubbed his forehead wearily.

Xia Cao handed him a damp soft leaf, “Lu Yu, wipe your face.”

“Thank you.” Lu Yu took it and wiped his face.

Xia Cao took the wet leaf away and handed him a dry one, hesitated for a moment, and said guiltily, “I’m sorry.”

Lu Yu was still wiping his face with the leaf, puzzled. “Sorry for what? What’s wrong?”

Xia Cao lowered her head and whispered, “You’re… a witch. You should be enjoying offerings from others, living happily and carefree every day. But now you’re enduring hardships with us, worrying about so many things…”

Lu Yu paused, surprised that she brought this up.

After a moment’s thought, he smiled and said, “Xia Cao, I don’t know about other witches, but I’m quite happy every day. As for offerings, I don’t think any other witch has received as much sincere protection and affection as I have from the entire Matai tribe.”

He remembered that after Tai Lie announced their relationship, almost every Matai person, even Shi Tou and Xiao Shui, came to him, asking what he liked and needed, wanting to give him the best offerings.

Lu Yu continued, “We might be a bit busy now, but once our village develops and becomes stronger, I won’t have to worry about anything. I’ll just lie down, eat, and go out to play all day.”

He said the last part jokingly, but Xia Cao took it seriously and said, “That’s how it should be.”

Lu Yu chuckled, “Then I’ll become a big fat guy, and your King might not like me.”

Xia Cao said solemnly, “If the King dares to dislike you, we’ll help you teach him a lesson.”

Lu Yu raised an eyebrow, not believing that this group of Matai, who could act like doves with just a snort, would dare to teach their King a lesson. “How would you teach him?”

Xia Cao pondered for a moment. “We can stop preparing food and clothes for the King.”

Lu Yu: …

Seeing Lu Yu speechless, Xia Cao suddenly had an idea, “Actually, as a witch, you can teach the King a lesson in a better way.”

Lu Yu asked, “Oh?”

Xia Cao said confidently, “You can refuse to sleep with the King.”

Lu Yu was utterly confused, “Huh??”

Xia Cao’s expression was serious, as if she was proposing a solemn proposition, “Our Matai people are very strong. After sleeping together, if you then refuse to share a bed with the King, he won’t be able to bear it.”

For a moment, Lu Yu felt speechless. He didn’t know what to say.

Regardless of why the Matai people were so open about ‘sleeping,’ perhaps ‘s*x’ was just seen as a physiological need like eating and sleeping, which was fine, but forcing others into it was questionable…

After all, they had kissed while being close to each other, and Tai Lie didn’t react negatively.

Lu Yu sighed. Tai Lie had said before that he realized his feelings for him only after they had kissed a few times. Why couldn’t it work now? Was it because, after being together and kissing a few times, he felt that men weren’t suitable for each other?

That’s just too…

Lu Yu pursed his lips and suddenly looked up.

No, he couldn’t just sit back and wait. Since they were together, they should talk face to face and solve any problems together.
