Crossing To The Primitive With A Game Panel

There was a slight movement from the cave behind them, whether it was Ming Shan or Er Dai turning over.

Tai Lie paused, hesitating. He wanted to hold the person in his arms, but he knew this person always disliked being affectionate in front of others…

Lu Yu turned his face and planted a kiss on Tai Lie’s lips. “What are you thinking?”

Tai Lie’s eyes deepened, and a faint curve appeared at the corner of his mouth. He answered him with action. He embraced the person in his arms completely.

Lowering his head, he kissed deeply.

Lu Yu still held the skewers of meat in his hand but indulged Tai Lie nonetheless. With one hand, he carefully prevented the skewers from touching them, while the other hand hung around Tai Lie’s neck.

Even though they were both sitting down, there was still a height difference between them. Lu Yu straightforwardly shifted the pressure onto the opposite person, making himself more comfortable.

Lu Yu had little experience with kissing, but after this, he realized that kissing different people indeed provided different experiences, rather than just simple lip and tongue contact. When he was forcefully kissed by Cha Zhe, he didn’t feel nauseous, but only annoyance and rejection. However, when Tai Lie kissed him, he lost track of time, feeling like a young girl experiencing her first love, heart pounding, blood rushing, not wanting to let go of the person in front of him.

But no matter how much he enjoyed it, they couldn’t keep kissing forever.

After a while, Lu Yu leaned back, placed his hand on Tai Lie’s chest, and pushed gently. He mumbled, “Meat… Don’t waste… Food…”

Tai Lie was indeed “hungry” now, but not for that. The “meat” in his arms was more tempting.

Unfortunately, the timing wasn’t right.

Tai Lie loosened his arms, straightened his body, but didn’t remove his hand, which rested on the waist of the person beside him.

Feeling the corners of his mouth wet, Lu Yu blushed and wiped it with the back of his hand, then continued grilling the meat.

After a while of enjoying the evening breeze, his mind finally cleared up a bit, and he remembered that there were still many things he hadn’t figured out. “By the way, how did you guys know I was here?”

Lu Yu already knew he wasn’t in Beast Plain, but the specific location was also told to him by Er Dai. Green Forest land was the farthest land from Beast Plain. Lu Yu thought with the small number of Matai people, it would take quite some time to find him bit by bit.

Tai Lie frowned, “It was Mao Pu who said it.”

“Mao Pu? Mao Pu’s back?” Lu Yu was somewhat surprised. Before he disappeared, Mao Pu had disappeared too.

Tai Lie nodded and then recounted what Mao Pu had said to Lu Yu.

Lu Yu’s hand holding the skewers froze, and he turned his head to look at Tai Lie. “Was he captured by the Three Great Tribes because of me?”

Tai Lie nodded, and the hand on his waist rubbed twice, his voice deep, “The Three Great Tribes cannot be let off.”

Lu Yu pondered for a moment. “Did Mao Pu mention the witch of the Three Great Tribes?”

Tai Lie shook his head.

Although he received a negative answer, Lu Yu still felt that this matter was very likely related to that witch. As far as he knew, that witch might also be a transmigrator, and the culinary skills he exposed were indeed not something people of this era could come up with. It made sense for the witch to have doubts and to capture Mao Pu and interrogate him.

However, besides that, it could also be related to Matai. Mao Pu may have hidden something, or perhaps he himself didn’t know what he unintentionally revealed.

“Regardless, we owe a lot to Mao Pu this time,” Lu Yu said.

Tai Lie nodded, pondering slightly. “He might want to become a subsidiary tribe of ours.”

Although he was preoccupied with Lu Yu’s news at the time and didn’t pay much attention to Mao Pu’s abnormality, now thinking back, combined with Mao Pu’s various actions, it wasn’t difficult to reach this conclusion.

Lu Yu wasn’t surprised either. “What do you think?”

Tai Lie’s expression was indifferent. “You make the decision.”

Lu Yu didn’t decline either. “Let’s talk about this when we get back. Maybe he no longer has that intention. Speaking of subsidiary tribes, I think when we return, we should properly arrange the management of Matai and the valley tribes. If we are going to confront the Three Great Tribes in the future, we need to be stronger and more organized.”

“Okay.”

After discussing this, Lu Yu and Tai Lie discussed some other matters.

Unconsciously, the sky began to lighten.

Ming Shan had a biological clock, and coupled with having something on his mind, he woke up almost as soon as there was a change in the light in the air. He stood up and shook the black kid who was sleeping soundly beside him.

Er Dai rubbed his eyes. “Who are you?”

Ming Shan sighed. “…”

Er Dai snapped out of his daze. “Oh, it’s you! The tall one!” Realizing that he accidentally blurted out the nickname he gave Ming Shan in his mind, Er Dai quickly covered his mouth, looking at Ming Shan pitifully.

Is this kid’s brain not quite right? Ming Shan thought unkindly but couldn’t help smiling. “Get up.”

“Okay okay.” Er Dai scrambled to get up.

The two of them walked out of the cave.

“You guys woke up at just the right time,” Lu Yu smiled at the two of them, placing a stone pot on a nearby boulder. “Go freshen up, and then come eat breakfast.”

“Yes!” Er Dai was still a bit dazed, while Ming Shan had already pulled him aside, taking out a bamboo tube of clear water and salt powder for him to clean his face and teeth.

After they finished tidying up and returned, Lu Yu had already set up the food, and Tai Lie was sitting confidently on the side.

“So fragrant!” Er Dai exclaimed, taking a deep breath of the sweet scent in the air and running over in three steps.

Ming Shan followed closely behind.

Lu Yu smiled as he served them each a large bowl of meat and vegetable porridge. “Let’s keep it simple for breakfast. Once everyone gathers, I’ll cook a feast for you at noon.”

The white rice porridge was cooked to a sticky consistency, with translucent gelatin enveloping the minced meat and interspersed with a few lush green vegetable leaves. The aroma of rice, meat, and vegetables harmoniously intertwined. On this summer morning, as it entered the stomach, it made the whole person feel refreshed and comfortable.

Er Dai had never eaten this kind of food before. He eagerly picked up the stone bowl and took a sip.

“Careful, it’s hot!” Lu Yu hurriedly warned, but it was too late. “Spit it out quickly.”

His tongue stung for a moment, but Er Dai still didn’t want to spit out the food in his mouth.

He muttered, “No…” and took a few breaths with his mouth half open, feeling that the porridge wasn’t so hot anymore, so he casually chewed a few times and swallowed it.

The warm porridge flowed steadily down his esophagus and into his empty stomach.

Er Dai felt like his whole person had been cleansed, feeling refreshed and comfortable. He didn’t understand why Lu Yu said this was simple food; in his opinion, this was simply the best food ever.

“So delicious!!” Er Dai praised sincerely, “Lu Yu, you’re really amazing!”

Lu Yu smiled. “Then eat more, there’s plenty.”

The four of them finished breakfast very satisfied, then tidied up and set off to find the others.

Lu Yu had told the Matai people from the dream training ground to come over this morning.

The cave wasn’t too far or too close. Lu Yu and Er Dai had walked for about an hour and a half last night, but now it wasn’t as dark as last night, so their speed had increased significantly, not to mention Tai Lie and Ming Shan.

By the time they arrived, the sky was already completely bright.

Although they were instructed to wait obediently in the cave, the Matai people had still gotten up early, with some of them not even sleeping all night.

Lu Yu could see the anxious Matai people walking back and forth in the forest from afar, and his heart warmed.

It goes without saying the bond between Tai Lie and him—they were to become partners, walking through life and death together. But the other Matai people were also risking their lives, tirelessly searching for him in the dim and unknown jungle.

The relationship between Lu Yu and the Matai people couldn’t be described solely as mutual assistance anymore.

“Witch!!”

Shan Pu twisted his head and keenly spotted Lu Yu’s group. Unable to contain his excitement, he shouted loudly and dashed towards them at lightning speed. However, as he ran closer, he noticed the unfamiliar person behind Lu Yu, and his steps halted. Suddenly, he remembered the slip of the tongue just now, and regret overwhelmed his joy.

Damn it, the Witch had explicitly warned him never to call him by that name in front of outsiders. Did he just cause trouble for the Witch?

Lu Yu didn’t think much about it and only realized after seeing Shan Pu’s expression. However, he didn’t pay it much attention.

The Witch’s matter wouldn’t be a secret for long.

Lu Yu smiled gently. “Shan Pu, are you all okay?”

Seeing that Lu Yu seemed unconcerned, Shan Pu breathed a sigh of relief and put on a big smile. “We’re fine as long as you’re back! Everything’s fine when you’re here!”

Other Matai people also heard the commotion and rushed over, each expressing their feelings to Lu Yu.

“Lu Yu, you’re finally back!”

“You scared me!”

“We missed you so much!”

“The meat doesn’t taste good anymore!”

“We searched so many places!”

—

Facing each sincere face, Lu Yu couldn’t help but show the biggest smile of his life.

The crowd surrounded Lu Yu and Tai Lie and returned to the cave.

In the corner of the cave, there was still one person left behind.

Lu Yu already knew they had captured Cha Zhe, and he had discussed this matter with Tai Lie last night.

For Tai Lie, there was no forgiveness for those who attempted to snatch a partner.

But for Lu Yu, although Cha Zhe’s behavior was wrong, it didn’t warrant his death, even by modern legal standards. Moreover, he was ultimately the one who rescued Cha Zhe, so Lu Yu was prepared to let him go. At the same time, he remained a stranger to him.

Tai Lie felt unwilling, but he respected Lu Yu; otherwise, he would have killed Cha Zhe yesterday.

Lu Yu cut the ropes binding him without saying anything else.

The group packed up and set off.

Cha Zhe sat alone in the cave, rubbing his numb wrists. After a moment of silence, he finally sneered.

He stood up, walked out of the cave, and disappeared into the deep forest.

After returning from the Green Forest Land, Lu Yu first went to discuss matters with Zhu Hua and the others.

After Tai Lie and the others left, Zhu Hua and his group took the remaining supplies left by them. When Lu Yu and the others returned, they exchanged pleasantries and wanted to return the supplies. Lu Yu smiled and refused to take them back, saying they could consider it a gift. Zhu Hua and the others no longer insisted and happily accepted them.

The group began to discuss matters, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After the discussion, Lu Yu and Tai Lie didn’t stay long and hurried to their village…
