Yuanyuan abruptly got up from the stone bed, making faces as she smiled at Su Tang, "Mister, the Tribe Leader is here~"
Su Tang angled her body to look towards the cave entrance.
She wanted to see what an ancient-era tribal leader looked like.
...
Aha, so the Tribe Leader is a big tiger.
But the tiger was really handsome, with his half-naked upper body that reflected strength. His bulging muscles, each one separately distinguishable, and his silver-colored hair flowing radiant, made Su Tang blush a little…
She looked away and covered her embarrassment by taking a big bite of the meat!
With her cheeks puffing out from chewing vigorously, she looked like a big squirrel enjoying a snack.
With long, straight strides, Gaiyin walked across and reached the stone bed in a few steps.
He softened his gaze at the sight of Su Tang, kneeling on the stone bed, trying hard to eat.
"Yuanyuan, who were you talking with just now?"
Yuanyuan wasted no time in ratting Su Tang out, "Tribe Leader, the doctor can speak and understand us. The doctor says her name is Su Tang. Such a lovely name!"
Su Tang swallowed, glaring at Yuanyuan.
The comrade had just throw her under the bus like that! Where was the joy in the game?
Unfortunately, Yuanyuan didn't get Su Tang's message, her big, innocent eyes blinked.
"Umm… Ugh, Ugh…"
Su Tang choked, unable to catch her breath!
Gaiyin sat down next to Su Tang and started patting her back gently. He ordered Yuanyuan, "Go fetch some water!"
Yuanyuan nodded and quickly ran out of the cave.
Seeing Yuanyuan leave, Su Tang became anxious and panicked, causing her to choke worse!
Her continuous coughing brought tears to her eyes before she began to recover.
"Feeling any better?"
A deep voice sounded from above her head.
Su Tang only noticed then that she had somehow ended up in Gaiyin's arms.
She instantly blushed furiously!
Squirming out of his arms, she stammered, "I … I didn't mean to … I'm sorry…"
Gaiyin revealed a slight smile, his gaze softening, "My name is Gaiyin, and you?"
Su Tang's face turned a flaming red, her reply stuttering, "Tribe Leader... I-I am Su … Su Tang..."
Gaiyin nodded, "Su Tang, your name is lovely!"
Su Tang: ...
"You can call me Yin, I'll call you Su!"
Su Tang: ...Why do I sense a hint of an overbearing CEO vibe…
"Su, how did you end up alone in the Dark Forest? Where is your tribe?"
Su Tang lowered her head in disappointment, murmuring, "I …. I got lost, my tribe is off in a distant place, I might not be able to return..."
Gaiyin felt a twinge in his heart seeing the little female look so disheartened.
If the little female couldn't return, then she could rightfully stay here!
Gently stroking Su Tang's soft hair, Gaiyin comforted her, "From now on, the Winged Tiger Tribe will be your tribe. I will protect you forever and won't let you get lost again!"
Pausing a moment, he continued, "Don't be afraid of losing your way again, I promise by the Beast God! I will find you!"
A white light flew out from the top of Gaiyin's head.
Su Tang jumped in surprise, "What was that just now?"
"That's the Heaven and Earth Contract formed when promising to the Beast God, don't you know?"
With big eyes wide open, Su Tang wasn't sure how to respond to the tribal leader's unexpected pledge. Were he not so good-looking, she would have bashed him for being a rogue!
"Uh-Oh, what happens if the promise is broken?"
